Chapter 53: Before Fighting Back
Two fighter planes from the air base shook their wings twice over the desert and then returned, and the crowd around the shortwave radio station cheered, and the major told everyone with some excitement that the air base had ordered the planes to return, and the refugee camp and checkpoint were saved.
The major was about to take off the headset and return the shortwave radio to Isabel, after all, the radio belonged to Isabel's investigation team, and the performance was comparable to that of a military station but it was not a military station, and the major had no jurisdiction.
The major waved one hand to signal that the few people next to the radio were quiet, and then Isabel, who was closer, quickly saw several rows of digital codes from the small LCD screen on the radio.
Isabel saw Song Xiaoshuang's inquiring eyes, and her mind turned to think that several people around her knew Chinese, and Song Xiaoshuang could be described as foreign language blind, just now the major spoke Arabic, although Song Xiaoshuang saw the fighter plane return but did not know what the major said, or she translated in a low voice on the side to tell Song Xiaoshuang, this guy has no obvious expression on his face, and the difference from others is obvious, but the matter is far from the end, maybe he thinks further, right?
Thinking of this, Isabel quickly whispered in Chinese: "The air base has sent a military-spec encrypted radio communication frequency, asking us to contact the radio station of this frequency!" ”
Hearing what Isabel said, the major who had taken off the headset was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the agent next to him, who did not look like an agent, should be a civilian master urgently dispatched by the relevant Chinese authorities, performing a task that the agent could not complete but he could not speak Arabic, otherwise the agent who went abroad to perform a mission in the African desert would have to know two or three foreign languages (Arabic is mainly the official language in West Africa, and French is the common language)?
And it seems that this folk master is very familiar with Isabel, Isabel cares about his thoughts very much, and the leaders of the two tribes value him very much because they are also good, and it seems that his previous ideas are somewhat taken for granted.
The major looked around at several people around him with a pair of slightly tired eyes, and spoke in Chinese at an unhappy pace: "The radio station of this communication frequency is a military base in the desert on the west side, the base commander is a second lieutenant, the checkpoint has been contacted with him for some official business, and he is quite familiar, it is possible that the second lieutenant received an order from his superiors and is rushing here, after all, the fighter plane just now is coming to attack the checkpoint, my major station commander has been killed without accident, and the second lieutenant is here to clean up the mess!" ”
Isabel looked a little surprised, thinking that the second lieutenant that the major said was him!
Now the border situation is unstable, the Mauritanian army has sent a considerable number of soldiers to monitor near the huge desert border to prevent the war from spreading to the country, and it is impossible to draw out manpower, only the small military base is far away from the border, but it is very likely to come with twenty or thirty soldiers, but with such a small number of people, it is impossible to try to solve the rebel armed bandits of several hundred people, and it is impossible to drive them out of the border, and I don't know what the staff officers of the army think?
"Isabel, it's better to give the radio to the major for the time being, don't know too much about the military communication frequency, the second lieutenant who came to clean up the mess is estimated to have been promoted to lieutenant or captain, this is a matter of the Mauritanian national army, let's talk, I want to hear the story of the black and black chocolate? It was found from the body of the armed bandit who hung up. ”
Isabel was still immersed in speculating on various possibilities, and she felt that her arm was grabbed by Song Xiaoshuang and she couldn't help but follow him, Isabel is a very strong woman, the leader of the dignified anthropologist expedition, she felt that Song Xiaoshuang was starting to get nervous again, just like Uncle Issam, she had to use the radio to contact the military base, why did Song Xiaoshuang drag her away? Wizards are mysterious in doing things, Isabelle's little temper came up, and she just wanted to kick Song Xiaoshuang away (of course, it couldn't be just thinking about it), when she heard Song Xiaoshuang shouting and talking next to her.
Ice and snow's smart Isabel suddenly understood that Song Xiaoshuang was talking to Farhad, Eliham and the major, and said with a turn of thought: "Okay, chocolate is quite special, you said that you, a foodie, are full of delicious food wherever you go, what do you have to say!" ”
"Forget it, you're a foodie, you don't eat less than me in the restaurant, and it's good to drink, I'm starting to wonder if you eat all the meat now?"
Song Xiaoshuang looked suddenly realized, let go of Isabel's arm and walked forward, shouting and teasing Isabel in his mouth.
"Don't run, let me catch you and kick your ass in half!"
Isabel's yellow-brown eyes flashed with a compelling light, she was really annoyed, she spoke quickly and whispered in Arabic, followed Song Xiaoshuang to chase up, Song Xiaoshuang heard the familiar sentence and understood that it was the mantra of kicking the ass in half, originally did not understand that later under the "snitch" of the Oasis tribe Maijid (Farhad's daughter, the tribe's trainee little wizard), Song Xiaoshuang understood the meaning of Isabel's Arabic mantra, which was the same as the Chinese warning she said angrily.
Song Xiaoshuang ran faster, Isabel took out all the strength to feed, and the two men and women with AK74 assault rifles on their backs quickly disappeared into the nearby corner of the rock.
Farhad shook his head when he saw it, he couldn't understand that these two people were still so childlike, because they were too mature?
But he and Elliham are proper Tuareg chiefs, and their real thoughts are to cooperate with the army to resettle the refugee camp, drive away or eliminate the rebel armed bandits entrenched in the Kimberley rock mines, so as to stay next to the radio station, and the major must rely on the cooperation of the two to recover the refugee camp and checkpoint, which the major cannot do alone.
In a hidden depression on the top of the mountain, Fatuna sat on a half-man-high rock, somewhat lonely eating the air-dried mutton given by the tribal warriors, holding an enamel cup and drinking the little water poured from the kettle, ignoring the happy look in the eyes of the agent not far away. Not long ago, everyone saw the two warplanes in the sky, and the agents sent by the government were glad that there was no doubt that the air force did not attack the checkpoints, but what should they do now? Isn't it better to slip away now? That hateful and hateful alien agent from China, but he has already guessed that Pike Labs also sent other alien ability hired agents, God knows how this Chinese knows so much insider?
Although there is no non-governmental organization such as the Association of Strangers in China, it is okay for capable people with alien abilities to know about foreign associations of Aliens, but he still knows the origin of chocolate, which is a little confusing!
Thinking of this, Fatuna took a hard bite of the air-dried mutton that was in her mouth, and chewed a small piece of air-dried mutton in her mouth to vent the slight anxiety in her heart.
Fatuna secretly slandered herself in her heart: it's all that damn stupid pig, always swaggering around to show her presence, should you help them, get out of Pike Lab, or leave Pike Lab early!
The boss behind the laboratory has always used hired agents as cold tools, Fatuna has seen too many stories of hired agents being ruthlessly betrayed, and has already seen through the laboratory's false inducements to agents who are also aliens, but she can't get out of the laboratory due to her weak strength, and now that the laboratory has abandoned her as a junior high school, don't blame her for being fifteen!
Fatuna already had a preliminary idea, thinking of the agent from China who defeated her, and felt that there was nothing impossible in man-made, and while thinking about it, she saw two men and women hurrying to the depression with guns on their backs, it was Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel.
Before he got closer, Song Xiaoshuang released his spiritual power outside his body and had already probed the situation in the depression, wearing a blue and black tights, Fatuna, who had a very good figure and a delicate face, which attracted the attention of men, sat alone on a stone and nibbled on air-dried mutton and poured water in a ceramic cup.
The three surviving agents, except for the one who was knocked unconscious by Fatuna and lay on the velvet blanket with an arm wound, the other two agents, like Fatuna, gnawed on air-dried mutton and sat on the ground against the stone wall with a ceramic cup, four tribal warriors from the tribe with their faces covered with guns on their backs, and a one-meter-wide and narrow velvet blanket for food was spread on the gravel floor, and there were many pieces of air-dried mutton with dark red mixed with gray and white, several enamel cups filled with water, and two old military flat water bottles.
In order to preserve the nutrients in the mutton to the greatest extent and not to lose it, the large pieces of mutton are unloaded into small pieces by the tribal villagers with knives, and while the mutton is fresh, it is wrapped in an ingredient powder mixed with spices and refined salt dried in the salt pans of the Sahara Desert, and then it is taken out and exposed to the scorching sun of the desert after a few days, and most people put it on the roof of an adobe bungalow.
Otherwise, there will be a hot wind baptism in the desert in a few days, and the surface of the air-dried meat will be checked with dust, and the mutton that can be stored will not deteriorate anywhere, which is really the best food for traveling in the desert (of course, people who are not used to eating fishy food do not have to try, you can eat the air-dried mutton made by cooking or steaming), and the storage conditions are also one is not to take it away from the desert, this air-dried mutton is only suitable for preservation in the Sahara Desert environment, and the living conditions in the Sahara Desert are very poor. The aborigines of the desert have studied food more deeply than many people think!
Seeing Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel walking quickly with guns on their backs, a tribal warrior with a veil covering his face waved to the two of them to participate in their dinner and eat mutton.
This tribal warrior is very familiar with Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel, the injured Maijid that day is lying in his arms, he is an elite-level tribal warrior of the Oasis tribe, he is agile and marksmanship, and he is very respected by the tribal villagers, and he has long regarded Song Xiaoshuang as a brother of the tribe.
Since they are all brothers, of course Song Xiaoshuang will not shirk and walk over, and he sits on the gravel floor without caring about the image, and is not afraid of a lot of broken stones on the ground, hanging out holes in the fabric of the robe, picking up a piece of mutton and putting it in his mouth to bite.
Finding that the ceramic cup did not belong to him and Isabel, he turned around and snapped his fingers to look at Isabel, and motioned for her to go to the camel saddle and backpack to find it, the ceramic cup on the velvet blanket belonged to the tribal warriors, how could Song Xiaoshuang not understand this common sense.
Isabel was very annoyed that Song Xiaoshuang's ruffian habits were everywhere, and once there was nothing to deal with for the time being, he would have no image, Isabel gritted her teeth and did not squeak, walked to the camel that was still gnawing on the bushes, and found two ceramic cups from the backpack hanging from the saddle belt.
Isabel turned her head and looked, I don't know when Song Xiaoshuang had called Fatuna over, sitting on the ground next to the velvet blanket where the food was placed, Fatuna, who was dressed in a blue-black tights, had a bumpy figure and a delicate face, and was in the middle of five big men wearing gray and white robes, as weird as she wanted.
Isabel can't figure it out, which one is Song Xiaoshuang singing? The reluctant smile on Fatuna's face could tell that she didn't want to listen to Song Xiaoshuang, but she had no choice but to listen to Song Xiaoshuang
More than ten minutes later, in a secluded corner of the mountain, Song Xiaoshuang ignored Isabel's puzzled eyes, looked at Fatuna standing not far in front of him, and whispered with a strange expression: "How about it, think about it, there are only three of us here, although Isabel only makes soy sauce, but there is no problem in keeping secrets, I trust her, Pike Labs has several supernatural hired agents in the Kimberley Rock Mine, what is the scope of their ability, are they looking for energy crystals?" Tell me this I can try not to think about the dead hand, the hired level of the alien agents are actually cannon fodder, you yourself know this! ”
"No way, you're not their opponent alone, these arrogant people won't easily turn against them, and besides, I haven't decided whether to join or not, and I can't tell you the secrets of Pike Lab."
Fatuna didn't believe that Song Xiaoshuang could deal with several of her companions alone, and retorted in Chinese with a somewhat strange tone.
Hearing Fatuna say this, Song Xiaoshuang shook his head helplessly, turned around and left, Isabel watched coldly, and muttered to herself in her heart: "Song Xiaoshuang's courage has become fat, could it be that his ability has recovered all of a sudden?" ”
Isabel looked at Fatuna, and when she turned to leave, she spoke in Arabic in a low tone: "I want to remind you that he counts when he speaks, I hope you will think about it as soon as possible, the Major must have a comprehensive plan, and now that you have been abandoned by Pike Labs, if you don't want to die ugly, it's better to join us." ”
