Chapter 84: The Nationalists

In a seemingly deserted corner of the village, in front of several adobe bungalows each with several wooden windows and sand walls, hundreds of male and female passengers who got off the plane were escorted by tribal warriors to the dam in the middle of the bungalows, and all kinds of belongings on their bodies, including luggage, food, and drinking water, were searched by the tribal warriors who covered their faces with scarves, and then locked up in several dilapidated mud-walled bungalows.

The weeping and cursing of the male and female passengers in the bungalows never ceased, and the tribal warriors were ordered to take them all back to the village, and did not hear the whispered cries and curses of fear and despair, but kept a close watch near the bungalows with their guns.

These tribal warriors are very experienced, and when Ihassan, Andre and two flight attendants walked into the village with David, the co-pilot who had fainted from internal bleeding in a velvet blanket, they had already noticed that David's situation was very wrong, and several tribal warriors shouted to lock Ihasan and Andre alone in a dilapidated bungalow, in fact, isolating several people from other passengers.

"Uncle Ihassan, this seems to be a school in the village?"

When Ihasan and the others put together several narrow wooden tables in the room, and carefully lay David and the velvet blanket in his pockets on the wooden table, the flight attendant of the Air France flight said in Arabic with some confusion.

As soon as Ihassan, dressed in a robe with a stand-up collar and a beard, walked into the dam and noticed that the mud-walled bungalows around the dam were markedly different from ordinary tribal dwellings.

There are several wooden windows with good ventilation and lighting on the wall more than one meter high, and there is a stump in the corner of the dam that is several meters high and the thickness of an arm is stripped of the bark, and I have thought that the stump is the flagpole used to raise the flag, when I walked into the bungalow, I saw several rectangular wooden tables and several wooden benches covered with sand and dust, and there was a wooden tattered blackboard painted with black paint in front of the wall, and there were still rows of spelling words on the blackboard that had not been erased, Ihasan sighed secretly, he already knew that this was originally the school in the village, and several earthen walls were simple classrooms.

"I didn't see any children in the village, and I don't know if the school had been closed for a long time!"

Hearing the stewardess talking with some doubts, Andre, a black man on the side, walked in front of the blackboard while talking, carefully observing the spelling on it, and saw that the blackboard had dried up and cracked out a lot of cracks, but the rows of spelling words stubbornly crossed the cracks and spelled out a few words, Andre remembered the naughty scene when he was a child in a Catholic school, which was more than 30 years ago and can only be recalled.

Andre pulled the crumpled coffee-colored suit on his body, and looked back at Uncle Ihassan, who was in his sixties, Ihasan was leaning down to check David's condition lying on the table again, Andre's black charcoal-like face showed solemnity, and he said in French in a low voice: "Uncle Ihassan, will David be it?"

Ihasan didn't speak, turned around and raised a hand to indicate silence, glanced at the tribal warriors with guns in the dam outside the window, and found that they hadn't looked at the classroom for the time being, walked a few steps to the blackboard, picked up a small section of gray-white chalk on the wooden frame where the blackboard was resting, quickly wiped the dust from the corner of the blackboard with the palm of his hand, and the chalk wrote a row of spelling words on the blackboard, and after a few seconds, Ihasan wiped the spelling with the palm of his hand.

Although Ihassan's actions quickly erased the text, including the two flight attendants and Andre, they could clearly see the text of Uncle Ihassan's spelling code in standard French, and the text read: David's situation is suspected of being infected with the Ebola virus, don't say it! The people outside are not ordinary desert natives, they are likely to be armed members of the ** tribe, be prepared to stay here for a long time, we are hostages!

After seeing what Ihasan wrote in chalk, Andre opened his mouth to show a mouthful of ivory-like white teeth, and then made a somewhat exaggerated grimace and nodded slightly, regardless of the suit on his body, he sat in the corner of the wooden table that was put together, fanned a lot of dust and shrugged his shoulders, his eyes revealed that he had known that this was the case, and he did not look a little nervous about David, who was close to him covered in blood.

However, the two flight attendants felt that they couldn't accept it, and their faces showed panic, and Ihassan, who was standing in front of the blackboard, shook his head secretly, walked to the wooden table and whispered in French: "As long as the body fluids and blood are not in contact, they will not be infected!" ”

The purser smacked one hand on her chest, took a deep breath and tried to calm the accelerating heartbeat, secretly glad that she and David were just good drinking friends, and had no other relationship, French wet kisses or anything had never happened, and she had been silently praying that she would not be infected or not!

Another flight attendant showed a look of gloom on her face, chanting and praying in a low voice, and her words revealed the words of expecting David to get better soon, it seems that David, who has short blond hair, still has a very good image in her heart.

Ihasan and Andre glanced at each other, and saw the behavior of the two Air France Sisters, both of them were old fritters, and they exchanged their thoughts with their eyes

As the minutes passed, the scorching sun in the desert heated the air, and more than 100 male and female passengers in several classrooms got food and water in anxiety, each of them had a pancake that looked a little dry, and a small bottle of bottled water of more than 200 milliliters, a small part of the bottled water was brought down by the passengers from the plane, and most of them were bottled water of a brand that they had never heard of.

Seeing the cold gaze of the big man with a gauze covering his face and holding a weapon, none of the passengers had obvious objections to drinking this bottled water.

When Uncle Ihasan and Andrei got the bottled water in plastic bottles, they felt that something was wrong, something was wrong with the village well? Whether it is dried up or poisoned and cannot be used, there is no drinking water source, and more than 100 people can't support it for a few days in the desert!

When the two were giving each other glances and eating dry pancakes, there was a commotion in several nearby earthen classrooms, and the low cursing and reprimanding became louder, and Uncle Ihasan and Andre's attention immediately turned to the dam outside the classroom, the middle-aged man with a resolute expression on his face who was obviously the bearded scum of the ** armed commander, wearing a robe full of metal bullet chains, carrying the handle of the general-purpose machine gun in one hand, and walking quickly from a tamawild tree to the uneven sand dam, He was followed by several tribal fighters with AK47 assault rifles on their backs.

The middle-aged man walked to the wooden flagpole that was several meters high and stood still, and after looking around the classroom with sharp eyes, he said in Arabic with a cold expression: "I am Zahid of the tribal armed forces, you are all our hostages now, and soon there will be tribal warriors with paper and pen to register, and cooperate with the tribal warriors to report their true identities, remind me, whoever lies can only harm himself, and those who cannot get exchange benefits have no value in existence, it is normal for a few people to die in the war zone here!" ”

After Zahid finished speaking, ignoring the exclamations and curses of male and female passengers from various countries in several classrooms, after shaking his gestures, more than a dozen tribal warriors guarding the classroom pointed the muzzle of their AK47 assault rifles at the men and women in the classroom from the classroom window.

After Zahid saw that the effect had been achieved, he gestured for the tribal warriors to put away their guns, and soon several tribal warriors standing behind him took out the prepared paper and pen from the pockets of their robes, and went straight into several classrooms to ask the passengers' true identities one by one while registering, the passports carried by the passengers had already been searched, which was to verify the identity of the passengers again to see if there was any omission.

Zahid stood under the flagpole next to the dam and did not move, as if the scorching sun did not work for him, when he saw two soldiers carrying guns with Song Xiaoshuang and Sima Yuru coming from the tamanine tree, Zahid's resolute and cold face became much more relaxed, in his memory there is no shortage of cunning Chinese in Africa, but obviously these two Chinese are very good and did not take the opportunity to slip away.

After Zahid gestured for the two tribal warriors to leave, he beckoned Song Xiaoshuang and Sima Yuru to follow him, Sima Yuru had already observed clearly that the passengers who got off the plane were locked up in several classrooms, and David and several people were still in a separate classroom, pursed their lips and did not speak, and found that Song Xiaoshuang beside him had no expression on his face, and followed Zahid out of the dam unhurriedly, and she followed quietly.

The more than a dozen tribal warriors who were guarding near the classroom didn't care about the three of them leaving, but faithfully carried out the orders of Commander Zahid to guard the passengers.

Song Xiaoshuang and Sima Yuru followed Zahid for more than 200 meters in the village, and did not see an ordinary tribal villager, not a single old man or child.

There were more than a dozen women who did not have a scarf to cover their faces, and the gray-white robes were either wearing tactical vests with a lot of magazines, or there were several grenades hanging from the braided belts around their waists, and they all had an old AK47 assault rifle in their hands without exception, when Song Xiaoshuang and the three of them walked by, several women sat on the sandy ground next to the earthen wall to maintain the guns in their hands, and Zahid looked at them with reverence when he walked by, and he was a little puzzled by Song Xiaoshuang and Sima Yuru who followed behind.

Song Xiaoshuang saw several tribal warriors with guns standing in front of an earthen wall bungalow dozens of meters away, and the spiritual power released from the body had been probed to the bungalow of more than ten square meters, there was a military green painted knapsack tactical radio, and the external gain whip-like antenna poked out from the wooden window full of dust, and the knapsack tactical radio was placed on a wooden table that wiped off the dust, and there were two tribal warriors sitting on a wooden chair next to him, one of them was wearing a headset, and he was nervously operating the radio station to see the situation, some compressed biscuits, Boxes of bottled water and cans were piled up in half of the bungalow, and several AK47 assault rifles hung on the wall at the entrance.

Seeing Zahid walking towards the room with a general-purpose machine gun, Song Xiaoshuang already knew that the room with the tactical radio station was Zahid's temporary headquarters, so he followed straight without hesitation.

"Chief, the garrison temporary base sent a telegram asking if we had indeed received passengers on Air France flights, and I replied to the request that we need weapons to escort passengers out of the desert war zone, and I haven't waited for a reply!"

Zahid walked into the mud-walled bungalow, and a tribal warrior in front of the radio station with a veil covering his face took off his headset and stood up and spoke Arabic very quickly.

"The army will agree, be patient, they simply can't pull out manpower, the extreme rebel armed terrorists have already given them a headache, we just need weapons, it's fair"

Zahid spoke Arabic in a low tone, and looked at Sima Yuru and Song Xiaoshuang behind him as he spoke, and the resolute expression on his face seemed to have a touch of weirdness.
