Chapter 29: The Savage World

Along the way, I looked on both sides, and the road in the jungle was quite spacious, but the road was a little potholed. The black man in the beret hat finally relaxed a little, and he looked at me for a moment before asking me something.

"He asked you what you were looking at." Jojo translated it to me.

"You ask him, what else is there to see here besides the trees?" I said lightly.

After Qiao Qiao translated, the black man grinned and smiled at each other, and then he said at a fast pace, Qiao Qiao frowned and said in a low voice: "He said that it was not safe at the airport just now, but he was not hostile to you, you are the distinguished guest of General Sleepy Tower." โ€

"Not safe?" I frowned too.

Then the big black man told me that he seemed to be saying that some mercenaries from hostile forces had been making trouble recently, and they had already killed two of them.

The car drove for about half an hour and arrived at the camp.

By the way, General Trapped Tower did not meet me in the capital of their country. The meeting took place in the diamond mine he controlled! It's far from the civilized world, and there are just jungles, wilderness, and beasts...... And the danger!

In front of us was a low-rise building made of simple slab structures everywhere, as if a small village had been formed, and our convoy drove in from one end, and immediately there were countless black children running back and forth, most of them with tattered clothes, some of them even undressed, looking at us with a pair of black and bright eyes. But there were also some slightly older children, who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in tattered military uniforms, with cigarettes in their mouths and spears on their shoulders......

Boy Scout?

I sighed.

Most of the villages and towns are filled with women, the elderly, and children, and there are hardly any men in their prime of life. The women and children were so thin and pitiful that I felt like I had arrived in a refugee camp......

When the car drove into the village and town, the driver had no intention of slowing down, and rushed in almost like a fly, almost hitting the surrounding children several times, and the driver just laughed all the way, honked the horn hard, and continued to slam on the accelerator and drove down.

"It's like a wild place." Jojo bit her lip, and then, her face suddenly changed, and she screamed in a low voice: "Ah!! โ€

As she looked, we finally crossed the village. In front of it was the entrance to a camp, with black soldiers with guns guarding the doorway, and next to the wooden fence gate, there was a row of shelves!

That's the gallows!

I saw corpses hanging from the two gallows, the corpses had already [**] under the scorching rรฌ, buzzing flies swirling around. The corpse was no longer visible, as if it were just two piles of rotten flesh hanging there! And on the ground, there are still large pools of blood that have turned into black sรจ......

The soldiers around him were all indifferent, as if they were used to such a scene, while Qiao Qiao's face was pale, and he finally couldn't help but let out a wow. I quickly reached out to her shoulder and turned her face sideways.

I sighed and whispered, "I told you not to come!" โ€

In fact, when I was in Cairo, I was going to leave Jojo behind at their camp. Ren Lei also suggested that I let Qiaoqiao stay. But this female bandit refused to live or die, and insisted on following me. In the end, Ren Lei told me that there is no danger in danger. I'm just worried that after I get to that place, some things will be more shocking, especially girls, I'm afraid they will feel uncomfortable.

Obviously, it did.

*************.

The whole camp was very large, and I finally saw what this diamond mine was like that was about to belong to me, or part of it.

A crater-like hillside, with a dug gap in the middle, and on the surrounding hillside, there are many black soldiers patrolling back and forth with guns.

Right below, there were hundreds of men and women working hard, all of them [**] with their upper bodies exposed, revealing their thin bodies, like refugees in the famine, many of them still had whip marks on their bodies, just outside the mine, under the protection of a group of soldiers with guns, several tables were placed, and someone was checking the ore handed over by the miners.

They seemed to be counting by the weight of the ore, and I saw some of the black miners holding fist-sized ores in their hands...... I don't know how many diamonds are in it, but at least what I see is ...... The man who collected the ore took it and threw it into a basket on a scale, glanced at it, and waved his hand quickly, and then one of the soldiers pushed the miner and threw him a black mess of things, as if it were grain? Or is it something else?

Oh, and it seems like there are still a few coins.

That's all!

As soon as our convoy entered the camp, it stopped on foot. As I walked, I couldn't help but look at the miners, who were numb in their faces and their eyes numb. Those lining up to exchange ore for food and coins lined up like a flock of sheep, and the soldiers who were overseers next to them kept sweeping around with their heavy eyes.

Suddenly, I heard a scream, and then I saw two overseer soldiers rush into the crowd, quickly grab a miner, drag him out, and throw him in the clearing, and then the two of them didn't say anything, just took the whip and whipped it violently. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

I couldn't help frowning, but Jojo had already asked the black man in the beret first, "What's going on?" "She spoke French, but she translated it to me as soon as she finished it.

"Stealing mines, this kind of thing happens a lot...... These damn pigs, give him food and let them work, and dare to steal the general's mine! โ€

I looked at these miners, who were barely clothed, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Is this the mine I'm going to buy?

I calculated tens of millions of dollars a year before I came...... Is it produced under such circumstances?

"The general is there!" Beret whispered, and then led me over.

I understood what he was talking about when I was reminded of him, and when I looked around, I saw a group of black soldiers surrounding a man in a set shed next to the mine.

This man is indeed the trapped tower general I've seen the picture of! But he's a little fatter and a little more bloated than he looks in the photos!

That pergola was covered with a military canvas, and the chairs underneath. Trapped Tower leaned there, squinting his eyes, his body was not at all like the strong and fierce man like a leopard in the photo, but fat like a rich man, but in a pair of squinted eyes, there was a hint of cold front from time to time.

What surprised me was that in such an almost wild place, this trapped tower general was actually wearing a snow-white shirt, and the style of that shirt seemed to be made by a famous Italian artist...... I remember George Clooney had one that looked like it was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The general leaned back in his chair, whip in one hand, and flapped it lightly in his hand. When I walked over, he was still leaning back in his chair, listening to the beret whisper something to him.

I felt as if I was being watched by a wild beast, like a lion in the wilderness ready to tear its prey apart, and that gaze hung over me for about half a minute.

Then he stood up and handed the whip to the guard beside him: "Hello, you are Mr. Chen?" โ€

He actually speaks English! This was a bit of a surprise to me, even though his pronunciation was very non-standard. But I can still understand it.

Then he took two steps towards me, and I was about to catch up when I heard the low roar of a beast beside me!

I was shocked! To the left, I saw a sturdy beast lying under the pergola! That's a ...... Lion?

Damn it! That's really a lion! Although it looks a little smaller, it is a lion cub, but judging from the size and the fangs that its mouth opens, it is already easy for such a guy to tear apart an adult!

The lion had a chain on its head, and when it saw me walking towards the trapped tower, it roared with some hostility.

"Shut up and don't scare my guests." Sleepy Tower laughed deliberately, and then he even stopped the soldiers who were about to come up to search me, but hugged me warmly.

Looking at the trapped tower up close, I found that this guy probably really became the head of state [**] a lot, the fat on his face was bloated, not as heroic as in the photo at all, especially the two lips, as if there were two fat sausages hanging on his face......

"Hello, General Sleepy Tower." I tried not to look at the lion next to me: "Nice to meet you, I think you already know what I mean." โ€

"Of course, I'm happy to do business with my friends in China." Trapped Tower laughed loudly.

And at this moment, a discordant scream came from the distant miner, who was being whipped by the soldiers.

My slight frown was noticed by the trapped tower, and he summoned a soldier to whisper a few words, and then in a few moments, the miner was dragged in front of us like a dead dog.

"Sorry, my guest." Trapped Tower's tone was cold: "These damn bastards have disturbed my guest, and I'll punish him." โ€

He said something in the vernacular, and soon the two soldiers who had whipped the miners were disarmed, dragged to the back and whipped - it turned out that the trapped tower was reproaching them for not doing such a thing in front of a guest like me. As for the miner, the trapped tower didn't even look at it, and after being dragged behind, there was a crisp gunshot!

Bang!

The crisp sound echoed through the valley, and I saw that Jojo's face was a little ugly, and I sighed.
