Chapter 50: Preparations for Re-entry (2)
"You have a gun?" Jamie suddenly said this, and he saw a rifle butt exposed from Lin Ming's clothes just now.
Lin Ming patted the place where the pistol was placed, and said in a deep voice: "This is the guy I used to eat." โ
Jamie seemed a little frightened, but Jim was a little interested, and he made a gesture that meant that you had ever killed someone.
Lin Ming nodded, as if he didn't want to say more, after all, there were two minors here. Speaking too much, this is not a PG-13 family comedy, but a violent war film of R17.
Of course, there seems to be some small trouble that was not expected in the original work, and sure enough, the security of this place in Belen is indeed very chaotic. It seems that the Powell family is very conspicuous.
A group of local gangsters who apparently didn't look like good people walked over. The one in the lead, wearing a dirty gray suit, asked with a smile, "This beautiful lady, I'm Zack, can I have a drink?" โ
It seemed that Zach was very bad in the local area, and there was a low cry in the restaurant. Lin Ming was obviously aware of the change in the attitudes of the people around him.
Could this be the influence of his own butterfly wings? After all, the family in the original work was really lucky, as if they had fled from the Brazilian rainforest to their warm and noble community.
As a result, now in the process of the plot of this opening film, I didn't expect so many things to happen? I don't know how the family would have dealt with the crisis in front of them if they didn't have themselves.
Stephanie raised her eyebrows, which made Lin Ming vaguely feel as if he had seen the vampire Darla in "Angel of the Night". Of course, if it was Darra, with the brutality of this vampire, it is estimated that none of these people would survive.
Of course, Lin Ming knows that the roles played by actors will always inadvertently carry some of their own personalities, and Stephanie is also a quite strong woman.
I saw her pick up a glass full of juice and said in a deep voice, "No need, and we are American citizens." I guess you don't want to get into any trouble. โ
That Zach laughed twice, "American? You always think that the whole world is yours. So go wherever you want. But this is Brazil. So I ask you to drink, and you have to give it to me. โ
Lin Ming frowned, and he said in a calm tone: "Your Excellency is not drunk, you are not those outlaws in the forest. Do you want to kidnap them and ask the U.S. government to earn a ransom? โ
"You kid is ......"
With a click, Lin Ming broke Zack's wrist, "We don't want to cause trouble!" But don't mind any trouble. I don't know if who instructed you to come, or if you were dazed, but you should be able to calm down now. โ
Zack endured the pain, but seemed to be sober, he glanced at Lin Ming, but as if he was suppressed, he snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything cruel, and left with his two subordinates.
Lin Ming could still hear two of Zack's men asking their boss, "Let's just let that kid go." โ
"Damn it! That kid is not something you can afford to mess with. I went back and told the guys in the BB gang that they shouldn't do a dangerous business without oil and water, and they are not fat sheep. โ
"Wow, I don't know." Jim looked at Lin Ming a little strangely, "How did you do it just now?" The policemen I've seen aren't as good as you. โ
Lin Ming smiled, "I'm a mercenary, this is the ability to eat." โ
Stephanie asked, "You also worked as a bodyguard?" โ
Lin Ming thought about it, when he was in college before, he did security work for a high-end community. It's just that the work is too tiring, and then I found a job as a martial arts instructor and didn't do it.
"I've done it, but I'm not a professional."
"Thank you for that. I didn't expect this place to be really dangerous, and Stephanie, you shouldn't have to fight that guy next time. You know, the U.S. passport doesn't work well in this place either. โ
"Dad, Mom has just used a gesture to tell Daphany to call the police as soon as she has a situation." Jamie quickly explained, and Daphany shook her phone.
Lin Ming said in a deep voice, "This kind of place alarm may not be effective. Do you think that Zach just now didn't know? He's just concerned about who you are. But the outlaws in the forest don't care about that. But it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, Zach is a thug, not a thug. โ
At this time, Daphany couldn't help but complain: "I don't know why I did this trip, it just sucks." I'd like to spend this holiday with Lucas Firth. โ
Jamie whispered, "I think it's more fun than the last time I went to Yellowstone." โ
"Enough, no matter what, we're here now, so no matter what the difficulties come your way, keep going and unite." Jim Powell held out a rare time.
Stephanie asked, "I don't know Mr. Lin, are you willing to be our family's bodyguard?" I can pay according to the market. โ
"Hey, dear, it was just an accident. Not to mention, Lin must have other things to do. Jim's machismo flares up, and he objects to that.
Lin Ming seemed to think for a while and said, "It's okay to be a bodyguard, and the reward can be said after the trip is over." Rest assured, everything is according to the market conditions, and we can sign the contract in advance. โ
"Stephanie, really."
"Yes, after all, there's Jamie and Daphany. Something unforeseen on this trip, isn't it? โ
"Okay." Jim's insistence existed for less than three seconds under Stephanie's gaze.
Unexpectedly, it was because of an accident that he came together with this family, which made Lin Ming's previous preparations unnecessary.
But I still have to thank that Zach, after all, in the plot, the family's death-making adventure at the beginning of the plot actually ended after a few shots. Lin Ming couldn't figure out exactly when the family got on the private jet.
After the meal was finished, although it was because of the small episode, it didn't seem to affect Jim's mood, and he was really a natural optimist. But Stephanie was still worried about the trip.
"Okay, now we're going to explore the real rainforest."
Jim's words made his family secretly pout and roll their eyes. Lin Ming knew that in the plot, this was Jim's attempt to get their family back to the past.
Of course, this kind of experience can happen to anyone, for example, sometimes when life begins to gradually become accustomed to it, it feels pale and boring. The original passion began to fade away.
Although Lin Ming is still young, he has also experienced this. So he felt lucky that just as life began to transition from passion to mediocrity, he unexpectedly ended up in an infinite universe of fantasy worlds.
Therefore, Lin Ming felt that he might never experience the day of boredom, after all, every fantasy world is a new experience.
"Hey, you're from China, how did you think of being a mercenary?"
"After I was discharged from the army, I couldn't stay idle and came out. Although there are not many Chinese people like me, it is not uncommon. Now many of my former comrades-in-arms are working there in Africa. โ
"Oh, I know. The media say that you are going to turn Africa into a new colony. โ
"That's not right, we're just going there to do business. We have 1.4 billion people and we don't need colonization. Not to mention that the colonial mindset is already outdated. Now the world is very peaceful, everyone makes money, and it is only right to improve their lives. โ
Jim felt that Lin Ming's words were very right, he was originally an ordinary person and did a mediocre job. Although he has a very good family, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a housewife and man who eats his wife's soft rice.
When the group arrived at the airport on the outskirts of Belรฉm, in addition to Jim's interest, even Lin Ming looked at the dilapidated little plane that seemed to be about to fall from the sky at any time, and he felt a sense of surprise.
Daphany complained, "It looked like a giant coffin. โ
Jim immediately stopped his daughter's complaints: "Okay, don't ask so much!" Since we came here, we haven't had a group activity. One is busy texting, the other is busy working. One stared at the TV. One...... Well, Mr. Lin, I'm not talking about you. โ
"We have to focus and don't forget that this is Brazil," Jamie said. Just now, we almost suffered a kidnapping. โ
"In an hour, we'll be watching the sunset in the rainforest! It's like a family, because that's how memories come from. Whether you want to or not, you must go! โ
Jim obviously didn't care about the little episode before, he had already looked at the imminent fall, opened his arms, and spoke excitedly. It made him look like an adventurer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In fact, what Lin Ming really wants to do now is to hold Jim and ask, what about the brain? Oh my God, could it be that you still have the ability to predict, knowing that your family will not only survive the plane crash, but will also gain superpowers that ordinary people can't imagine? If you just want to have a good time, you can go to Dinis Land.
In fact, Lin Ming would like to recommend the family to go to Huaguo, where the public security is good, the environment is good, and the modern urban facilities are advanced. The high-speed rail is accessible in all directions, and it is safe at night. Not to mention the notoriously friendly to foreign friends. Of course, I don't know if it's because of propaganda or other reasons, but in short, citizens of developed Western countries who have never been to China always have a prejudice and fear there.
In fact, just now, Jim secretly asked Lin Ming if there are frequent explosions in Huaguo, train derailments, large-scale unrest in the city at every turn, the countryside is generally very poor, and there are robbers everywhere.
Lin Ming couldn't bear to deceive this honest and good man, so he told him that in fact, this was all the way Hua Guo was a hundred years ago, and now Hua Guo is at least stronger than India.
