Chapter 16 Slums
The location is still the headquarters of "Barsac", but the difference is that Archer is already waiting for Qin Tian and his party downstairs.
"Hey!" Achill waved at the convoy from afar, and when he got into the car, he said as if to show off: "Guys, I've been waiting for half an hour!" ”
"I'm sorry!" John replied, "We'll leave as soon as we get the call, and we'll try to be faster next time!" ”
"It's okay!" Archer replied, "I don't have anything else to do anyway!" ”
After a pause, Achill asked again, "By the way, John, how is the injury?" ”
"Just minor injuries!" John raised his injured left hand: "It's much better!" ”
"May I make a request?" Achill asked.
"What?"
"Considering that sometimes I travel independently!" "I think it's important to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, such as what is a danger zone, what is safer, what you need to look out for, and so on," Achill said. Is this request reasonable? ”
Qin Tian felt that Achill's motives were a little impure, so he said with a somewhat commanding tone: "Don't do tricks, Archier!" ”
"I'm not your prisoner, Qin!" Archer tilted his head with a smile: "I'm not your student at the same time, so I don't seem to need to listen to your orders!" ”
As he spoke, he continued to ask John in the passenger cab in front of him, "Am I right, John?" ”
"Of course, Achill!" John replied, "That's our duty!" ”
Then John ordered into the walkie-talkie, "Go from Boer!" ”
The Boer district is the ghetto of Kismayo, and in fact you would be hard-pressed to find a few places in Somalia that are not ghettos.
As the saying goes, "poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people", when the people are so poor that they can't survive, they don't take their lives seriously, because there is no hope for life anyway.
So the law is ineffective for them...... If a person doesn't even care about his own life, how can he care about any law?!
Then, all kinds of crimes and the law of the jungle will run rampant, and the government will not be able to control it at all.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with three pickups full of mercenaries to pass...... No one would easily provoke such an armed force, and it would not do them any good.
The convoy drove along the potholed road into the Boer district.
Just the edge of the Boer district, to be exact, John will not and does not need to enter the Boer hinterland from a security point of view.
But it was terrifying enough: a few hungry beggars sat on the ground under the eaves, and not far from them, a few wild dogs were munching on a pile of something that a closer look reveals is a corpse.
The people around them had apparently seen it, but they didn't seem to have seen it, maybe because they didn't have the strength, or maybe they were next......
"Oh, FUCK!" When Achill saw it clearly, he couldn't help but show a disgusted face: "I almost threw up my breakfast!" ”
John took the opportunity to reduce the speed of the car and gave him a dangerous education: "See? Achill, this is the real Somalia...... And that's not even the most dangerous place. There are armed here, there is no need to say much about what they are doing, you better not mess with them, because they don't want to live for a long time, living is a torture for them, and death is a relief, and you are not! ”
"Are those people, you say?" Achill asked a group of militiamen in front of him who were smoking and chatting around two pickup trucks.
"Yes!" John said, "They are dangerous, they will fight with you over a small thing, not even for any reason......"
"Good!" Achill rolled down the window as he spoke.
Qin Tian felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly leaned over to pull him back, but it was already too late.
"Hey!" Achill pointed his middle finger at the militiamen through the window and shouted, "Want to try this?" ”
"You're crazy!" John yelled, "What are you doing?" ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard several gunshots from behind the car.
John hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Speed up!" Get out of here, right away! Repeat, get out of here! ”
The three pickup trucks pressed the accelerator pedal almost at the same time, and the engines roared like beasts.
John looked behind him and said, "It's best they know it's just a joke!" ”
But John was obviously going to be disappointed, because the next second the last car gave a warning: "They're catching up, they're catching up......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and a pickup truck on the branch road had knocked it off the road.
Archer let out a strange cry of excitement, as if he had watched a rare good show.
No one cared about him, as everyone's attention was focused on the few pickups that were catching up from behind.
"Fire!" John ordered: "Stop them!" ”
At the same time as the gunfire rang out, John added: "Watch the flanks, they are familiar with the terrain and there is a possibility that they will sneak up from the flank......"
John was right, because in Qin Tian's sight, a pickup truck caught up on the other side of a row of parallel houses.
Hell...... The highway turned to the right in front of it, and it wouldn't be long before the pickup truck Qin Tian was in would be caught up by it, not only would it be overtaken, but it would also be knocked off the road like it had just now and then overturned on the side of the road to be slaughtered.
Qin Tian didn't think much about it, and pulled the trigger when he raised the AK......
"Da Da Da!" Several rounds avoided the house and hit the target pickup, knocking a militiaman with a gun in the back compartment of the pickup truck out of the car.
Archer let out a "wow", "How did you do that, Qin?" Is it luck? ”
Qin Tian knew what Achill was talking about, and the difficulty of shooting in this situation was not only because of the high-speed running car, but also because of the shelter of the people...... The bullet must pass through the gap between the houses and then hit the target.
This is almost impossible to do in the eyes of the uninitiated.
But for Qin Tian, it was just a matter of building a model in his mind, then calculating the trajectory and then pulling the trigger.
Of course, Qin Tian ignored Achill, he continued to aim at the target vehicle and estimate the location, and then opened fire on the house the moment it appeared in the gap...... The bullet has two velocities: one is the initial velocity of the bullet and the other is the speed of the pickup.
Therefore, the bullet actually walks in a diagonal line, and knowing this point and firing it well in advance, the bullet will pass through the gap in the house.
Qin Tian succeeded again, this time hitting the driver of the target vehicle, after a bunch of blood splashes burst out on the glass window, the pickup truck also lost its direction in an instant and crashed into a protruding stone on the other side.
With a crisp sound of metal shattering, the whole car flew into the air and rolled several times before falling back to the ground, and the people in the car were seriously injured.
"I was wrong!" Achill looked at Qin Tian with wide eyes: "This is obviously not luck!" ”
