Chapter 6 Life and Death Rush
6. Life and death are extremely fast
Since he came over yesterday, Mo Lei has felt that something is wrong.
When Mo Lei walked out of Bogotรก Airport with simple luggage, it only took a few seconds for him to see the middle-aged man with glasses holding a greeting sign holding a signboard in Bogotรก Airport, and was looking towards the door in the middle of the noon sun.
Slightly tired, Mo Lei strode in front of the middle-aged man of the yellow race who was looking at him: "I'm Mo Lei!" โ
With a slightly exaggerated smile, the middle-aged man of the yellow race hurriedly lowered the welcome sign in his hand, which was obviously made of waste cardboard: "I'm an assistant and driver at the lawyer's office, Berniekin, you can call me Bernie!" It's me looking for you, we talked on the phone later, and we worked hard all the way. I didn't expect you to come so soon......."
Nodding slightly, Mo Lei's voice was obviously a little tired and hoarse: "Where are we going now?" โ
Mo Lei, who seemed to have reacted after a long journey, was not in the mood to stand outside the airport and greet him, Bernikin hurriedly turned around and led Mo Lei towards the parking lot outside the airport: "Go back to the community!" It's a 4 hour drive and you can sleep in the car for a while......"
Ten minutes later, Mo Lei sat in the old Volvo station wagon with a luggage rack that Bernikin drove to pick him up, the car drove out of the chaotic airport parking lot, and half an hour later, drove straight onto the Pan-American Highway.
Sideways looking at Mo Lei, who had not said a word since getting into the car, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was pretending to be asleep, Bernikin swallowed hard, trying to break free himself from the tension that swelled up inexplicably when he first met Mo Lei, and said with a dry smile as if he had nothing to say: "Mr. Mo is the first time to ......."
Without waiting for Bernikin to finish speaking, Mo Lei, who originally seemed to close his eyes and recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes, and his body, which was originally very relaxed, suddenly tensed: "Be careful! โ
As soon as the words fell, a dull knocking sound was already heard on the glass of the rear window of the car. With the sound of knocking, a fist-sized web-like crack suddenly appeared on the already not-so-clean car window, which looked like a spider, forming a small cobweb on a hastily drawn shoddy picture!
His eyes widened in horror, and Bernikin looked at the several motorcycles whizzing past the side of the car, and his face suddenly turned pale: "How could they ......."
Leaning over slightly, Mo Lei put one hand on the seat belt buckle, but the other hand was gently pressed on the position of the airbag shell in front of the car
He squinted slightly at the young man sitting on the high-powered motorcycle, armed with a steel pole or revolver: "Who are they?" โ
Holding the steering wheel as hard as he could, Bernikin responded incoherently to Mo Lei's question: "Biker ....... It's just a bunch of thugs, let's just don't get out of the car! As long as we don't get out of the car, we are safe......."
Still didn't wait for Bernikin to finish speaking, Mo Lei stretched out his right hand and grabbed the steering wheel like lightning, and pulled hard, controlling the old Volvo sedan to make a beautiful lateral movement on the road, narrowly avoiding a few triangular nails thrown from the motorcycle in front of him!
Bikers? Gangsters?
This just got on the airport highway and had such an arrogant biker and gangsters?
Easily put down the seat under Bernykin's buttocks, Mo Lei unceremoniously reached out and pressed Bernikin down on the seat: "Go to the back seat!" โ
With round eyes, Bernikin, who was pressed down on the seat by Mo Lei and couldn't struggle at all, shouted in horror: "What are you going to do? Are you crazy? โ
smashed a fist on Bernikin's stomach antrum lightly and heavily, Mo Lei didn't look at Bernikin, who suddenly stiffened his body in pain, and suddenly there was an obvious cold taste in his voice: "Get out of the back seat!" Or I'll throw you out of the car! โ
Bernikin endured the sharp pain in his abdomen, unbuckled his seat belt and climbed into the back seat, knowing that if he didn't respect the instructions of the young man in front of him, he would be kicked out of the car.
Mo Lei controlled the steering wheel with one hand, quickly moved his body to the driver's seat, straightened the seat, and the dilapidated Volvo walked a section of S road for a moment, and the body collided with the railing and splashed a spark, making a piercing scraping sound,
Mo Lei held the steering wheel steady, stabilized the car, and then reached out to adjust the seat back, increased speed suddenly, increased gear, and Volvo roared out.
"Mo ...... Mr. Mo, they are chasing again, and they all have guns. Bernikin, who was reclining in the back seat, suddenly cried out in horror again.
Mo Lei stretched out his hand to help the rearview mirror, without saying a word, concentrating on controlling the car, from the rearview mirror, he saw three motorcycles frantically speeding up to catch up, one motorcycle was a few meters away from Mo Lei's body, and the rider in the back seat raised his pistol and was about to aim.
Mo Lei was not worried that they would shoot inside the car, but that they would shoot the tires.
I really don't want to kill! I came here to inherit the inheritance, not to kill people.
Mo Lei clicked the brake on his toes again, reduced the speed, and the motorcycle on the left rushed out of his window in an instant, Mo Lei didn't think about it, instinctively turned the steering wheel to the right, Volvo's rear slammed the motorcycle out, the two riders rolled on the ground and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the pistol held by the gun-wielding rider also went off, but the bullet didn't know where it flew.
"What the is going on?"
Mo Lei cursed softly, while driving the car to avoid the motorcycle chasing behind, he knew that either he would disappear from the other party's sight now, or his car would be destroyed.
Of course, he couldn't choose the latter, but the way forward was also more difficult.
The motorcycle behind is getting closer and closer, you can clearly hear the roar of the motorcycle and the "clang" sound of the bullet shooting on the body, a motorcycle has approached the left rear of Volvo, the rider in the back seat of the motorcycle raised the iron pipe high, slammed it on the rear window, accompanied by Bernikin's scream, the rear window glass shattered.
"Hand me the coat." Mo Lei saw a windbreaker in the back seat, and although Bernikin in the back seat didn't know why, he quickly picked up the clothes and handed them to Mo Lei.
Mo Lei opened the car window, took the windbreaker with his backhand, glanced at the rearview mirror and roughly measured the direction, then stretched his clothes out of the window and threw them back and up, and the clothes flew up for a moment before falling down and towards the motorcycle cover.
The motorcyclist in the rear left was obscured by the unfolded windbreaker, and subconsciously jerked to the side to avoid it, inertia caused the motorcycle to fall to the ground on its side, and the body made a piercing scream from the friction between the ground and the metal, and moved dozens of meters forward, and the two riders also rolled over dozens of meters on the road After dozens of meters, one of the riders was also swept into a slow-moving truck, and the other driver lay motionless in the middle of the road.
"Two more." Mo Lei took a long breath, hoping that the other party would also save his companions instead of chasing them again.
There was a "bang", and the mirror next to the driver's seat shattered.
Mo Lei's face was calm, he braked suddenly, hung up reverse gear, slammed the accelerator, and hit the two motorcycles that were speeding behind him, the motorcycle on the right side flexibly dodged, and the rider of the other car reacted quickly, and jumped up on the motorcycle and grabbed the luggage rack above the Volvo.
Is this a thug?
Mo Lei braked quickly to change gears, chased after the motorcycle in front, and said coldly to Bernikin behind, "Kick him down." โ
"I ......."
Mo Lei shook his head. The car slammed forward with a swift wedge and knocked the bike into the air with the rider before the rider in front of him could raise his gun and shoot backhand.
Looking at the mirror on the right, the nearest truck was still a few hundred meters away, and the guy in the back window was already howling and trying to climb into the window.
The corners of Mo Lei's mouth raised a cold smile, and then looked at the one-way four-lane road, hands and feet cooperated, shifting gears, slamming the accelerator, turning the steering wheel left, braking quickly, and then speeding up, the tires made a piercing scream, and the vehicle was spinning in place.
The rider behind was thrown on the hillside by the road, as if standing still for a split second before rolling down the hill.
Mo Lei turned the head of the car, looked expressionlessly in the direction where the driver rolled off, and then walked away.
In the carriage, Bernikin heard a cold voice ahead.
"Mr. Assistant, you should explain it to me."
"This is Columbia."
Bernikin was silent for a long time, as if suppressing his violent heartbeat and boundless fear, and there was a trace of awe in his eyes when he looked at Mo Lei's back.
"This kind of deadly gangsters are all over the streets, they have a natural sense of superiority in the face of other races, and they are causing trouble everywhere."
"It's as simple as that?" Mo Lei skillfully maneuvered the car in front.
"Yes, it's as simple as that." "I don't get much exposure to that level, I'm just a lawyer, and even though I'm just an assistant to Wilson's barrister, I can only see what I can see and say what I can say." , Mr. Mo, after you finish the formalities and get the money, leave quickly. โ
"How did I hear the intimidation?"
"Of course not, Mr. Mo, I'm just a middle-aged man with a family, the child is still young, and he is destined to stay here for the rest of his life, you are different, you will leave this ghost place." Bernikin looked out the window.
Mo Lei didn't ask anymore.
Before the sun set, the lights of a city silhouette appeared in the col, and when you look out of the car window, there are patches of light and shadow in the valley and on the middle of the mountain, overlapping, like the night view of the mountain city of Chongqing.
Bernikin told Mo Lei that after going up the hill, they would have to circle for another half an hour to reach their Chinese community.
Mo Lei knows that more than 90% of the residents in this community are Chinese.
Some of their families have lived here for two or three generations, and they have worked hard here, buying land and accumulating wealth bit by bit.
This seems to be a common disease of the Chinese, and the land is their everything.
On the downhill road, the car undulated back and forth on a section of broken speed bumps, Mo Lei drove silently, and Bernikin didn't dare to speak, just sat in the back seat tremblingly, his windbreaker was used as a weapon for Mo Lei, the windows were broken twice, and the wind at night was still quite cold.
Ten minutes later, the car drove into a col, and after a few sharp turns, it pulled out of the highway junction and was greeted by the lights of a plain and the rolling Andes Mountains in the distance. The tall pine trees and evergreens on both sides of the road are closely lined up, and the branches on the left and right sides are like a couple separated from each other, desperately reaching out to each other.
The air here is so good! Mo Lei took a deep breath, calmed down, and drove straight ahead according to the route Bernikin had said before.
"You'd better not breathe too hard for a while." Bernikin muttered in the back seat. Seeing that Mo Lei didn't answer, he replied to himself like an explanation, "Because it will stink ahead." โ
Mo Lei still didn't speak, but just sped up.
A few minutes later, the scenery on both sides suddenly became a clear contrast to the previous one: in the dim and hazy light, it was visible that there were two huge garbage dumps on both sides of the road, the branches and leaves of the pine trees were withered, and the small ditch under the trees was piled up with many inexplicable objects, the color was pitch black, and the carcasses of several rotting small animals were discarded on the garbage heap at random, and the sound of mosquitoes circling could be heard even in the car, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.
"Doesn't anyone around here take care of him? Or did the locals throw it here? Mo Lei sped up in disgust.
"Yes, you ......". Bernikin was surprised.
Mo Lei didn't answer, but quickly raised the speed to the limit.
He didn't want to answer a question as stupid as Bernicin.
Who would pile up such a mountain of garbage in front of their house to disgust themselves.
"We're here." Bernikin, who was in the back seat, held the driver's seat with both hands, but he obviously saw Mo Lei's body tense suddenly, so he quickly let go of his hand and sat back in the back seat.
"I see it." Mo Lei slowed down, and he saw that the trees on both sides of the road in front of him had also become more vibrant, and behind the low bushes, cement piers were regularly built in some places, and barbed wire was erected between each two cement piers.
At the entrance to the residential area, a square covering nearly an acre of square is made of cement to form a small section of the Great Wall, and the sculpture has several dry fountain springs outside, enclosed by low walls. There are two flags at the door, fluttering in the breeze - a five-star red flag and a red, blue and yellow Colombian flag.
The walls were full of graffiti, with Chinese, English, and some words that Mo Lei couldn't understand, and Mo Lei guessed Spanish, but he knew that it was not a good word, because Chinese and English were almost all insulting each other.
"This is really the place you have chosen to live." When Mo Lei saw a few strong men holding AK47s at the gate, he muttered in a low voice,
Bernikin seemed to hear his ridicule, and replied curtly, "The natives have not been very kind to us lately. โ
Mo Lei drove straight into the car, and the strong men who looked like they were of mixed Indo-European descent just glanced lazily at Volvo, and then continued to chat.
"Aren't these native?"
"They're too, but they're hired for our money."
After Mo Lei listened, he didn't make a statement, under the guidance of Bernicin, he drove the car to an independent small building, he got out of the car and looked around, at this time, the residents in the community probably began to eat dinner, there were not many pedestrians on the street, there were towering palm olive trees on both sides of the road, and each building on both sides covered a huge area, and some were very luxuriously decorated.
The side streets are also paved with cobblestones of similar diameters and colors, and a few hundred meters down this road is the commercial center, which is brightly lit, but many of the shops at the entrance seem to be closed.
"Mr. Mo, this is your cousin's house, and it is also one of the oldest residences in this community, and I have been taking care of him since he passed away. If you need toiletries......",
Bernikin handed the key to Pointing Street, "It's sold over there, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock to see Mr. Wilson, the lawyer." โ
"How far." Mo Lei looked at the surroundings while talking about his bag on his shoulder.
"Not far away, in the town next door, Mr. Wilson is our most famous lawyer for a radius of hundreds of miles."
"Your car is like this, aren't you afraid that those motorcyclists will come to you for revenge? Or, don't you need to call the police? Mo Lei looked at Bernikin with a smile and suddenly asked.
Berniekin was dumbfounded and shook his head, "Ahh Oh, I'm ...... I'll call the police, by the way, Mr. Mo, they didn't have a fatality, right? โ
Mo Lei looked at Bernikin with the same gaze as a dead man, "Guess? With that, he waved his hand and turned to walk up the steps.
Throwing the key, Mo Lei suddenly stopped, "Has your life here always been so thrilling?" โ
"Huh? No, you mean the security guards with guns? This is a mountainous area, and there will be some emergencies, but it is just a measure to protect the community. โ
Bernikin explains behind the scenes.
"As for today's events, it was just an accident...... An accident was just ....... โ
โฆโฆ.
Thinking of this, Mo Lei stood at the door of Bernie's house and suddenly reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
"Could it be that something like this today is another accident?"
