Chapter 128: Thirty Days of Hell (35)
After Ahmed translated my question, Qasim looked up at the sky and spoke. "He said that this is a mountainous area, and the absolute distance doesn't mean much to us," Ahmed translated. He said that if he set off in a while, he would probably be able to reach it when the sun went down. “
"What if you don't meet the Americans along the way?" I asked.
After listening to Ahmed's translation, Qasim took a sip of water, and then said a very short sentence, Ahmet said: "Fight." Walk by night to that village. “
We had about a thirty-minute break here, during which time I asked Lukovic to contact the old guy Younis again. But I still can't get in touch, I don't know if it's still a problem with the terrain, or if the Yankees are deliberately interfering. Anyway, I feel like we've lost touch with the outside world right now.
After setting off again, the Qasims became guides. In order to avoid the Yankees, Qasim takes us down a more hidden and difficult path. The road was not only steep and winding, but Qasim told us that he used to walk it when he was fighting the Soviets, and often hid in various natural caves in the mountains, sometimes using the caves as a base for many days.
On the way, we did see some caves of the kind that Qasim was talking about. These caves are indeed a cave, not a cave like in "Journey to the West" where a bunch of monsters and monsters can be hidden in it like a cottage, but a small cave that is not very big, and it is not even a person high. Kassem said, don't look at these holes, they are not big, but there is only food, and it is perfectly fine to hide in them for a while, and sometimes it can save lives. And just as he was introducing us to the caves and telling us how he had fought the Soviets, I suddenly saw a man appear in front of a cave on the opposite cliff.
I immediately stopped and motioned for everyone to stop, Qasim glanced at me, and I immediately pointed to the place where I saw the figure and said, "There are people there." “
Qasim looked in the direction I was pointing, and soon several people appeared from the place where he had seen the figure, and these people were armed with guns, and they looked like TLB weapons. These people looked down at us, and if it weren't for Kasim, who was walking in front of the group, they knew it was their own people, and they would have fired at this moment.
Qasim watched them shout a few words at them, and Ahmet whispered: "Qasim is telling them where he came from, telling them that they were attacked by the Americans today. “
Several people on the opposite cliff listened to Qasim's words, and although they did not answer immediately, it was clear that they did not have much hostility from the slowly lowered muzzle of their guns. I guess they also know that there are a lot of Yankees here now, and they themselves may have run from somewhere like us.
After a few moments, as if they were discussing, one of them beckoned to us. Qasim looked back at us and said something, and Ahmet immediately whispered: "He said that we should go over, be vigilant, and if they are looking for us to resupply, kill them directly." “
Saeed and I looked at each other, is this a gang? When you meet, you don't think about it, so you think about killing each other first. How does it feel like the chaotic Middle Ages in the story, you have to be ready to fight no matter who you see when you go out.
We followed Qasim around the cliff in front of us with guns in hand, and soon saw the gang. There were five people on the other side, and each of them covered their faces with turbans, so they couldn't see anything. After we passed, one of them, with a gun on his back, took off his bandana from his face and walked towards Qasim.
The man looked like Kassim, an old man with a big beard. And more importantly, this person seems to be an old acquaintance of Kassim, after this person walked in front of Kassim, Kasim was stunned for a moment, and after some surprise, he hugged this person.
After a warm pleasantry, they looked at Qasim's man and set their eyes on us. He pointed to us and said something. Qasim smiled and pointed to Akmal in the group and said a few words. Ahmed whispered, "This guy is asking where you're from. Look neither like the MSL nor the coalition of the Americans. Qasim told him that you had all been hired by Akmal to fight together. All from countries that have a grudge against the Yankees. “
The man listened to Qasim and walked over to Akmall, with whom he had a few words. Akmar looked at the man and replied calmly, and introduced us one by one. Okmaar's words seemed to satisfy him, and he turned his arms around Qasim after taking another look at us, and continued walking.
I looked at Ahmed and said, "Where is this going?" Who is this guy? ”
Ahmed glanced at the back of the guy in front of him and said, "I don't know, I heard Qasim call his name Sabah." It's probably a person similar to Qasim, a leader. The place we are going to now should be the foothold of these people, and according to what they just said, they will act together to avoid this purge by the Yankees. ”
We followed Qasim and the guy named Sabah about three or four hundred meters on, and we came to a hillside. First we saw a few armed men standing on a high place, and when they saw us, they waved their hands here, and the Sabah men at the front of the line responded to each other, and after we had rounded the hillside, a large group of armed men appeared in front of us, about the number of whites. These people were sitting on the floor and resting. Judging by the things placed next to them, in addition to food and use, they carried rifles, machine guns, rockets, and I saw mortars.
When they saw Sabah coming, they all got up and greeted him. Sabah proudly introduced these people to Qasim. I looked around and the people were in good spirits, at least a lot better than what I saw in that village.
We followed Sabah and Qasim all the way to the middle of the area, where there was a special rest area for Sabah. When we came to this area, Sabah and Qasim sat down there, and of course we were not qualified to sit with them. We, including Akmall, were taken to a place not far from them, and sat with a few of Sabah's men he had just brought with him.
I looked at the men and whispered to Ahmed, "Ask them where they're going." ”
Ahmed nodded and asked the Sabah men, who seemed to have a lot of conversation with Akmall, and they were talking quite speculatively. After hearing Ahmed's question, one of them replied and continued to talk to Akmall.
Ahmed whispered to me, "They said they would go to the same place as us. Go to a place called Saalkank. ”
