Chapter Ninety-Nine: Survivors
"Remember, be careful~~~"
After Mina finished speaking, she looked around nervously, very vigilant.
Fat Wei finally couldn't stand it at this time, he took a step forward, snatched the chain in Mina's hand, and pulled forward hard,
"Emma~~~, hurry up and go, big girl! I'm dying of damn heat, don't you Westerners like to play CIA agents? Don't pretend to be mysterious, you don't have a big fart......"
With a bang~~, Fat Wei suddenly lifted the big iron lid of the cellar, and an iron ladder appeared in front of them......
"Shh ,
Mina still booed solemnly, then looked left and right, and carefully led everyone into the cellar.
This is a common cellar in Egyptian homes, Egypt because of the war, many families have set up underground shelters, the ground is very shady, they will dry something in the shade below on weekdays, when there is a war, the whole family can hide in it, so the area of the cellar is generally very large, some wealthy families even set up toilets and baths in the cellar, and store a lot of food, even if it can't come out for a year and a half, it doesn't matter.
They followed Mina down the ladder in the cellar, which was much larger than they had imagined, and down the iron ladder was a large empty single room, which symbolically placed some daily necessities, a few broken chairs, and moldy walls all around, which looked like it had come to an end.
Mina walked to the corner, knocked open a stone slab in the corner, and reached for the mechanism inside.
As soon as the mechanism sounded, a piece of metal floor was exposed, it turned out that this cellar looked like old land on the surface, but in fact, the bottom was completely built of metal planes, painted with black skin, disguised as the surface of the earth, after Mina opened the entrance at the corner of the wall, a hole collapsed in the wall from the corner, and a synthetic metal ladder appeared in front of them.
The ladder leads straight down, and the light below is bright, and it is completely illuminated by high-brightness electric lights.
Led by Mina, they walked down the ladder, and their vision instantly widened, and it turned out that there was a hole in the cellar underneath.
The space below is even larger than the house above, and it's all made of modern alloy, a bit like a pilot's apartment inside a spaceship.
The interior is furnished with modern streamlined furniture, all the electrical equipment is readily available, the indoor air conditioning is abundant and very cool, there is a large LCD TV hanging on the wall, monitoring everything above, there is an open kitchen, dining room, bathroom in front of the hall, activity room, everything you need, just like in a hotel.
But when they entered, the hall was empty and silent, and Mina coughed a few times in the middle of the hall, and then called out the names of several more people, and a group of people flashed out of the various rooms.
These people were all wearing one-piece overalls, with the tiredness of not seeing the sun for a long time, and several people Chen Zhi looked familiar, they were all extreme thieves who had carried out missions in Thailand.
They were all very excited to see Mina come back, and hurried over to hug Mina and reunite with her, like relatives who had survived the disaster.
Among them was a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen, whose face was miserable and as thin as a handful of bones, and who, when she saw Mina's return, rushed over and grabbed Mina's arm, asked her about the child, and then wept incessantly.
Mina introduced Chen Zhi and the others to everyone, and then introduced the crying woman to Chen Zhi, telling him that this was Tony's wife, that is, the mother of the kidnapped child.
Chen Zhi took a closer look at this woman, to be honest, Tony's wife is very beautiful, a bit like a movie star in the 80s, but now she is thin and has no appearance, her eyes are deeply sunken, her spirit is very trance, and it is estimated that she has not slept since losing her child.
After seeing Tony's wife, Chen Zhi's heart felt a little uncomfortable, after Tony died in Thailand, Chen Zhi's heart has always been a little guilty, and now when he sees his family in person, that sense of guilt has grown rapidly.
There are a few extreme thieves who know Chen Zhi, and they are a little surprised that Mina invited Chen Zhi to help, in their minds, Chen Zhi is still the rookie who does not dare to shoot in Thailand, and since Tony's death, these extreme thieves are not very friendly to Chen Zhi.
Mina told them about the Bao family's harvest and said that the Bao family was willing to relieve them of the trouble of being wanted, and these extreme thieves finally frowned and smiled at Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi's team is already tired from the long journey here, and the most important thing now is to take a good rest first, and then plan the future together.
Fat Wei finally got his wish and took a hot bath, and gradually regained his senses under the cold air, this afternoon he was hot and almost turned into jerky, and it is estimated that he will suffer from heat stroke in a while.
The food in the cellar was very sufficient, and the thieves prepared a very rich dinner for them, with cut ham, roast chicken, and the famous local barley bread, and Mina also opened them a bottle of red wine, Chen Zhi and they had not eaten since they got on the plane, they were already hungry, and after the large plate of food was served, they ate unceremoniously.
While eating, Mina tore the bread and discussed with them plans for tomorrow.
"Now the life and death of the child is unknown, every minute is torment for the child's mother, time is very urgent, I plan it like this......",
After Mina finished speaking, she drew two circles on the table with her fingers with water,
"There is a big gang in this area, they are all engaged in human trafficking, and it is estimated that these kidnappers are also from them.
But they are also doing drugs and black fire business in the underground black market, I know where that place is, we will go over tomorrow in the name of buying arms, by the way, I will inquire about the news of the child, I hope to find some eyebrows~~~~"
Chen Zhi was eating dinner, silently listening to Mina's words without making a sound, and when he heard the news, Chen Zhi raised his head and asked Mina,
"Has anyone come to ask for ransom until now?"
"Nope!" ,
Mina shook her head in despair,
"Although we didn't dare to show up during this time, the child's mother stayed here all the time, and no one came to ask for ransom!"
"Since they didn't ask for ransom, it proves that they are not ...... for money," Chen Zhi said softly with his head down.
"This is the scariest part......",
Mina looked back at the child's mother, and then whispered,
"This proves that after the children are robbed, they are used for trafficking, and this part of Egypt is very backward, and many traffickers take the children, cut off their hands and feet, and then send them to be beggars."
"Woo~~",
Unexpectedly, the child's mother heard this slight voice, and she immediately covered her face and cried, but her tears had dried up, and she just kept trembling.
Mina waved her hand and asked the other thieves to take her to the inner room and stop staying outside, and then Mina continued to say to Chen Zhi,
"I didn't want to come into contact with these underworld forces, these locals are basically ancient gods, very weird, and very extreme, and will never help foreigners.
This is also a way to no way, a country in Nuoda, most of the low-level people are unregistered, these robbers don't even have files, there is no way to check, I can only find out the news of the children through the gangsters, I hope the dollar can impress them~~~~"
"It's okay ~~~~",
Chen Zhi put down the knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin,
"As long as the child is alive, no matter where he is hidden, I can find him~~~~"
