Chapter 52: A dilemma

Sitting cross-legged by the campfire, Tang Guoming gently sipped the fragrant jasmine tea, and the tense nerves all over his body relaxed almost instantly......

Thanks to the deep combat awareness of several retired soldiers who have undergone rigorous training in field troops, the huge refrigerated truck was hidden in an unobtrusive col after driving into the Valley of the Kings, and even covered with vegetation.

And the entrance to the cave where all the Chinese are hiding is also made of stones to build two chest-high protective walls. The sheltering nets made of ropes and shrub branches hanging from above the cave were just right to block out the light of the bonfires lit in the cave.

Thanks to the pouring rain outside the cave, the smoke caused by the bonfire was also hidden by the rain, which somewhat gave the Chinese hiding in the cave a little safe.

Raising his eyes to look at the simple cover spread out in a relatively dry position in the cave, Tang Guoming turned his head to look at the middle-aged man sitting opposite the bonfire: "Master Pei ......"

Raising his hands and swinging again and again, Pei Wei, whose hair was already gray and his eyes were full of red bloodshots, hurriedly shouted at Tang Guoming: "I can't afford it!" I'm a few years older than you, and I'm just calling Lao Pei! ”

Nodding slightly, Tang Guoming continued in a kind manner: "Old Pei, are you familiar with the road from here to Oman City, the capital of the United Emirate of Bissau? ”

Nodding quickly, Pei Wei replied, "Familiar!" In the past, all the fruit and vegetable products produced by our Chinese farms were transported to Oman City by refrigerated trucks for sale. Africans can't farm the land themselves, and the fruit and vegetable products that they can get their hands on are basically a virtue of relying on the sky for food, which is not at all comparable to the things we grow intensively. Every time our fruit and vegetable products arrive at the market, they are rushed to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Wei suddenly reacted to the situation he was in now, and lowered his head very lonely: "Now...... Years of hard work have been completely wasted. ”

Obviously, he was poked to the heart by Pei Wei's words, and a man who was also sitting by the bonfire and was a little bookish also drooped his head: "I have worked hard for several years, and I returned to the pre-business overnight!" When I came out of China, I went out and sold all the houses, so I got a few start-up funds. Originally, I thought that I would go to Africa, and with my skills from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, I would have a chance to show my ambitions. But now ......"

With a long sigh, the man who was a little bookish looked back at the women and children gathered in the corner of the cave: "The wife and children have just come from China, and it has been less than half a year. I didn't have a good day, but I experienced such a thing. If it weren't for Brother Pei's life today, maybe ......"

After moving his arm a few times, Pei Weiqiang looked at the man who was quite bookish: "Okay, okay...... Isn't that a big deal? As long as people are safe, relying on our farming skills, we can make a new fortune anywhere! Come on, come on...... The big guys don't even hang their heads. The embassy has sent someone to rescue us, and soon we will be able to go to Oman City. As long as we enter the embassy, we can be safe! ”

Deliberately showing a look of high spirits, Pei Wei beckoned the Chinese in the cave to gather around the bonfire, took out all the food that was originally intended to be used as a refuge reserve, and even took out two bottles of two pots from a rucksack like a trick, poured a full cup without saying anything, and handed it to Tang Guoming with both hands: "Brother, this army is in chaos, you have risked your lives to save us...... I really don't have much to say - thank you for your kindness! ”

Took the full cup of Erguotou handed to him by Pei Wei with both hands, Tang Guoming raised his glass slightly to thank Pei Wei, and then took a shallow sip of the Erguotou with the cold aroma of wine in the cup: "I haven't tasted domestic wine for a long time!" What does it taste like...... One bite down, it's really homesick! ”

Nodding with emotion, Pei Wei responded: "Who said it wasn't?" Leaving home to earn a living, sometimes ...... After a glass of wine, my heart is warm, but my eye sockets are shallow...... No matter how good it is outside, it can't compare to the comfort of your own home! ”

Handing the wine glass in his hand to Pan Guan, who had just checked all the injuries, Tang Guoming turned his face to Pei Wei and said, "Old Pei, let the big guy rest as much as possible after eating something, let's go out to see the situation of the vehicle?" ”

was just stunned, Pei Wei quickly understood the meaning of Tang Guoming's words, and immediately stood up with a haha: "Everyone hurry up and eat and drink, and then hurry up and rest!" We're going to have to go tomorrow......"

With a vague sloppy look, Pei Wei grabbed a raincoat and hung it on himself, and followed Tang Guoming out of the cave.

Taking a deep breath of the air full of the smell of rain, Tang Guoming walked a few steps towards the location of the refrigerated truck under the guidance of Pei Wei, and then shouted in a low voice to Pei Wei, who was leading the way in front: "Old Pei, can that refrigerated truck still carry it?" ”

His face changed suddenly, and Pei Wei turned his head to look at Tang Guoming, who was following him: "You...... How can you see it? ”

Looking down at the rain flowing under his feet, Tang Guoming took a few steps and stood side by side with Pei Wei: "When Guo Nu and Lu Xin brought us over, I found that there were oil stains in the water - the car was scrapped?" ”

Sighing helplessly, Pei Wei suddenly showed a wry smile on his face: "Being chased and beaten all the way by those tribal forces, the walls of such a thick carriage have been pierced through several holes, and the fuel tank has almost been beaten into a sieve." It's just that we were lucky, coupled with the rainy weather, the car luckily didn't catch fire, and we were able to barely run to the Imperial Valley by relying on the built-in emergency fuel tank in the vehicle. ”

Listening carefully to Pei Wei's answer, Tang Guoming asked in a low voice: "If it's just a leak in the fuel tank, then we should be able to think of a way......

Pei Wei: "The engine was originally a little faulty, but this time it ran all the way down, and the water tank was also leaked, so it was a complete break here." If you want to rely on the refrigerated truck to pull us to Oman City, I guess...... You have to find a decent vehicle repair shop with enough spare parts. ”

Tang Guoming: "Let's put aside the problem of the car first - from the Valley of the Kings to Oman City, are you sure you are familiar with the road situation?" ”

Pei Wei: "This road has been run many times, although the road condition is not so ideal, but the road is quite peaceful, at best, there are a few tribes with private checkpoints to take some vegetables and fruits as tolls." But now it's such a mess...... I don't know the bottom in my heart! ”

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Tang Guoming subconsciously touched the personal information terminal tied to his left arm: "This is a bad weather...... Communication failures and electronic devices are basically impossible to count on. Coupled with the lack of vehicles......"

With a long sigh, Pei Wei replied with a difficult face: "If it really doesn't work, can we hide in the Emperor Valley for a while?" Anyway, we have some food reserves, plus you have guns and you can fight, maybe we can hide here until we get out and then go out?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Tang Guoming looked up at the dark clouds in the sky that were almost hanging to the ground: "The news that you are hiding in the Valley of the Emperors has been known by those rebellious indigenous armed forces. Even if we add a few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the attacks of those rebel armed forces......"

His brows tightened more and more, and Pei Wei sighed again with difficulty: "This is really ...... What a dilemma! ”
