Chapter 35: A Foreign Country
Xiang Hong figured out why Li Feng was sent to Syria to carry out a mission, Fang Jin originally didn't care about Xiang Hong because he had a conflict with Li Feng, but Fang Jin is really too much to do now! It's still a matter of jealousy! This is going to kill Li Feng!
Although Xiang Hong was also very angry with Li Feng because Li Feng didn't give her any steps, but I really thought that Li Feng might be completely panicked because he died in a foreign country, and then he was angry, and when he went to Fang Jin, he didn't listen to his explanation at all and scolded him, and smashed something, the more he said Xiang Hong, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but come to Fang Jin, and suddenly Director He still rushed to grab Xiang Hong, Xiang Hong was anxious to understand Li Feng's current situation, and he didn't plan to beat Fang Jin, but when he walked to Fang Jin, his face was full of frost and told Fang Jin: " I'm telling you! Tell you solemnly! Don't even think about it in this life! Despicable villain! Bah! ”
Xiang Hong shook off Director He's hand and left in a hurry, leaving Fang Jin alone in the office full of debris with a pale and dazed face, Director He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, shook his head and left, these second-generation officials are really boring enough to make trouble!
Xiang Hong went back to his office, immediately checked the information, the more he looked at his face, the more pale he became, he couldn't get through to Li Feng, and Xiang Hong, who was getting more and more anxious, couldn't help but drop the phone, Li Feng didn't answer his phone at all, and scolded Li Feng for letting him go to death and rolled up his sleeves and really wanted to go to Fang Jin to vent his anger, but Fang Jin had already left, and he didn't know where to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, Xiang Hong was at a loss before he remembered his father, and quickly called his father to ask for the cancellation of the task of the forty-three places, Her father, a leader of the Ministry of National Security, had no idea about this matter in advance, but since it had already been assigned, the task had already begun to be carried out, and even now that people were in Syria, how could it be temporarily canceled? Therefore, a certain leader could only condemn his daughter for being unreasonable, but in the end, he still did not block his daughter's threat, and the leader still found someone to inquire about the matter, and after waiting restlessly for more than an hour, Xiang Hong called.
"The task you mentioned can't be canceled, Damascus International Airport has been closed again, the situation there is getting more and more serious, the ministry has already agreed to the local consulate to evacuate in batches after assessment, when the last group will also be evacuated let the consulate over there see the situation to determine itself, not long ago, the last group of consulate personnel has temporarily taken off from the closed airport at the request of our government, because the hostage incident has not been resolved, so the consulate still left a left-behind person, But the left-behind person can't be contacted at the moment, so ....... ”
The microphone in Xiang Hong's hand slipped quietly and fell to the ground with a crunch .......
Li Feng stepped off the medium-sized passenger plane at eleven o'clock in the morning, Li Feng transferred a plane in Egypt before arriving in Damascus, the capital of Syria, got off the plane Li Feng knew that the airport was closed, fortunately he was taking a Syrian own passenger plane, otherwise the landing would not be permitted, after getting off the plane, Li Feng glanced at the temporary piles of sand bags around the airport and a group of soldiers behind the defense line and walked to the airport temporary inspection exit, before the exit was a burst of artillery and faint dense gunfire in the distance, Li Feng was somewhat helpless, and in the sound of gunfire, he walked out of the airport where the guards were okay.
There are a lot of people waiting to board the plane in the airport, and most of them are not Syrians, but foreigners, but now no one can get out, and the people who go out of the airport are extremely rare, and there are almost no planes taking off and landing, and Li Feng's plane is only seventeen people.
After squeezing out of the airport, there were obviously fewer people, Li Feng put on his sunglasses, took a deep breath of some hot gunsmoke in a foreign country and looked for a taxi, although there were fewer people, but there were still a lot of taxis, before getting on the bus, Li Feng asked the driver in English if he accepted RMB? Because the General Administration did not give itself the travel expenses in advance, saying that there would be someone to pick up and drop off in Syria, and the Syrian Consulate would also give Li Feng some pocket money, but Li Feng didn't see the person who picked him up at the airport, and this was not something that could wait, so Li Feng planned to go to the consulate first.
The driver understands some English, otherwise it is not easy to pick up the job at the international airport, after figuring out what Li Feng meant, he thought about it and agreed, and after knowing Li Feng's destination, he signaled to charge two hundred yuan, otherwise he would not pull, and Li Feng did not want to bargain and get into the car.
After looking at the exotic scenery on the road, Li Feng couldn't help but ask after looking at the military vehicles passing by and the soldiers with nervous expressions on them: "It is said that the rebels have surrounded the capital and are attacking day and night, why do I see that there is nothing special on the street except that there are fewer people and more soldiers?" ”
"We are all used to fighting for so many years without peace, and life always has to go on no matter what, if we really encounter misfortune, it is just Allah calling, it is not a big deal, it is much better than starving to death or being scared to death."
Li Feng nodded in agreement, and at the same time was glad that his country was peaceful.
When entering the city from the suburbs, about three or four hundred meters away from the car, something similar to a missile hit and blew up a two-story small building, the huge explosion Li Feng was startled, the driver was an old god: "It was a rocket made by the rebels, this time I don't know how many people were killed, may Allah bless them." ”
Li Feng didn't speak after hearing this, and began to feel some sympathy for the Syrians when he looked at the large cloud of dust and fire not far away, especially ......after the ruins suddenly heard the mournful cry of a woman.
The car was turning around in the city, Li Feng was still a little strange, the price was negotiated, and the driver seemed to have no reason to take a long detour?
The driver also saw Li Feng's doubts and a hint of vigilance, and had to explain: "Some sections of the road are closed, some roads are blocked by the ruins of bombed-out houses on the side of the street, and cars can't pass, so they can only make more detours." ”
Li Feng nodded and expressed his understanding, about half an hour after entering the city, and after hearing about a dozen explosions, the driver dropped Li Feng in front of a small courtyard and drove away, and Li Feng looked at the courtyard in front of him with his backpack on his back and wondered if this was the consulate!
The two wooden doors in the courtyard are closed, and there is no signboard at the door, and there is a flagpole in the courtyard over the not high earthen wall, but there is no national flag on it, and the whole courtyard quietly looks like there is no one at all. They eat and live in the consulate, so they won't be in the mood to go shopping on the street with shells and rockets!?
stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response, and there was no response when he knocked on the door, and after continuously slapping the door hard for a while, Li Feng looked left and right at the small street where no one was around, and then jumped over the wall and jumped in.
Entering the courtyard, Li Feng looked at everything in front of him and was stunned, flying ash all over the ground, cardboard boxes and wooden drawers all over the ground, some were burned, some were half burned, after crossing the messy yard and entering the three-story civil structure building that was not closed, there was no one inside, and things were thrown everywhere, only more messy, discarded paper, document bags and messy things everywhere, Li Feng's heart was a little cold, what the hell is going on!? Damascus hasn't been captured by the rebels yet, so why is it like it's been looted!? What about the other people!?
Li Feng turned to the second floor helplessly, and listened intently after it was still a mess, and then opened the window and jumped directly from the second floor, when he jumped down, Li Feng was already holding an electric kettle in his hand, and stared vigilantly at the root of the wall not far away, there was a small black hole there, and the sound came from there.
Quietly approaching the black hole, Li Feng saw that someone was shoveling soil inside, people could not see it but could see the soil that was constantly thrown to the mouth of the hole, Li Feng carried the kettle and asked in English: "Who is inside?" ”
The sound of shoveling soil was immediately gone, and no one answered Li Feng, the scene fell silent all of a sudden, Li Feng asked in Chinese again, and after still not answering, Li Feng had already considered how to force people out of it, but fortunately, after a burst of heavy breathing, a sentence of Chinese trembled out of the hole: "Chinese? ”
"Of course, you're a consulate worker, right? Come out, there's something to ask you. ”
After a while, a young man with a trembling body and a vigilant shovel appeared at this time, Li Feng had already seen him clearly in advance, so Li Feng had already put down the teapot and was smoking, seeing Li Feng's appearance, the man with glasses breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly crawled out of the hole.
"Where have all the people gone?"
The young man lifted his glasses and asked, "Who are you?" Why come here? ”
Li Feng took out his ID, and the man was still puzzled after looking at it: "Mediator of an international organization!?" What is this? As far as I know, there are no Chinese in Syria other than me, and I have not been notified that anyone from the country is coming. ”
Li Feng felt that his face turned green when he heard this: "You think about it, I received a call when I was in transit, saying that I had notified this side and sent a fax, and I came to help you solve the hostage incident." ”
Listening to Li Feng say this, the man with glasses finally felt a little reliable: "It turned out to be because of that incident, then it's no wonder, last night I received the news that the government defense line in the northern suburbs of Damascus has been broken by the rebels, and street fighting has begun in the north, and the Syrian president has evacuated Damascus after the consulate immediately launched an emergency evacuation plan, no one may pay attention to the fax machine, even if someone answers the phone and knows what you are coming, they may not notify me or forget in a hurry, And I was unlucky to be left behind because of this, you can also see, I am digging a hole in the ground, at least if the rebels really come to dodge stray bullets, the initial chaotic period will not pass I don't plan to come out of the hole, you come anyway, you can't go back for the time being, just help dig the hole, by the way, remember to remind me to prepare more food and water. ”
Li Feng looked at the man with glasses and asked, "What should we do if we both hide in the hole and are hostages?" ”
"This ...... It's not that I don't want to, it's impossible, I went to the only contact we could trust in the morning, but now even he doesn't dare to go out of the city, it's not that I haven't mobilized him, and the contact finally said that it's okay for him to take an adventure, bring his wife and lover and seven children to China, and directly immigrate to nationality to ensure their lifelong living needs, and he doesn't guarantee that he will succeed, because the control of the Tado jihadist is north of Damascus, where the rebels have several forces, Maybe I didn't see the people of the Tado jihadist group and they were killed, I also contacted the country before digging the hole, but the country said that it would study it again, including the conditions proposed by the Tado jihadist organization, but the Tado jihadist organization will not give us much time, we only have less than 30 hours left at most, which is ...... I think we're going to dig a hole. ”
Li Feng lowered his head and took two puffs of cigarette, then raised his head and said, "I want to meet this contact." ”
The man with glasses was very embarrassed, and wanted to say something Li Feng said firmly again: "Since I am here, I can't do nothing, I believe that our compatriots are looking forward to our efforts, we can't let them despair, in addition, if you really don't want to go, give me the address, just call that side in advance, this can be regarded as your hard work." ”
Hearing that there was no need to delay him to dig a hole, the man with glasses immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "The address can be given to you, and I will also make a phone call, but I can't guarantee that I can get through, let's try." ”
The glasses man said and took Li Feng back to the three-story office accommodation building, first checked the fax machine and a pile of messy papers, determined what was and then smiled apologetically at Li Feng and began to call, after several times he couldn't get through, the glasses man looked at Li Feng and shook his head, and then began to write the address, wrote it in Chinese and Arabic and handed it to Li Feng.
Li Feng took it and looked at it and said, "You are also sure of my identity, I think I need some money now, dollars." ”
The man with glasses was embarrassed again: "This ...... It seems that the consulate forgot to stay at the consulate for your event funds. ”
"What about you? I came in a hurry and brought almost nothing, and you were left here at the consulate without any money? What do you buy with something? ”
"The consulate did leave me five thousand dollars, but I had to buy food, which is expensive right now and even water, and I don't know how long I will last."
"I don't believe you didn't have any money left for yourself, and I don't need more, just give me three thousand dollars."
"It's ......."
"It's nothing, I don't have much time, and I'm in a hurry to save people, and you just need to stay here and wait for news! And if you report the money I used, you will either not reimburse you, or you will not be reimbursed, and it will be no problem for you to pay it back in the future. ”
Li Feng impatiently interrupted the glasses man's words, looking at Li Feng's insistence, the glasses man still didn't speak, and not long after he walked out, he took back a stack of banknotes and gave Li Feng three thousand dollars, and after taking the money, Li Feng put on his backpack and left the consulate immediately.
