Chapter 52: Goodbye Old Man
On the bus, the diplomat added: "Of course, although the city has basically returned to stability, many places are still under the control of the Mi military. So when you get to the hotel later, don't go out without permission. ”
The school's lead teacher also said: "We are doing this for everyone's safety, but it will not completely restrict everyone's freedom." If you want to go out, you just need to report to me first, and at least three people should be in a company and keep the communication open. ”
At this time, the bus suddenly stopped. Then the door opened, and the Syrian official got out of the car.
The embassy staff said to the crowd: "Everyone sit in your seats, and don't be impatient. I'll go see what's going on. ”
After saying that, he also got out of the car.
A group of students looked out of the car window and saw many armed soldiers gathered outside, and an M1 main battle tank was parked not far away.
Suddenly, the atmosphere inside the bus became a little tense.
Su Bai looked out boredly, but was suddenly stunned.
I saw a few soldiers from the United States just passing by, and the person who walked in front turned out to be his acquaintance, Lieutenant Vasquez!
A soldier from the United States who was following Lieutenant Vasquez happened to glance into the bus next to him, and immediately saw Su Bai. And Su Bai also saw this GI who was also an acquaintance with him, one of the protagonists in the plot of modern warfare, Paul Jackson!
Jackson seemed a little uncertain, stared at Su Bai twice, and then trotted to catch up with Lieutenant Vasquez, who had walked a few steps, said a few words in his ear, and stretched out his hand to point in Su Bai's direction.
Then, Lieutenant Vasquez also stopped, and turned his head to look in the direction of Su Bai that Jackson was pointing.
The eyes of the two were in the air.
After a few moments, Vasquez turned his head and continued walking forward.
As soon as Su Bai retracted his gaze, a pleasant and gentle voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"You know them?"
"Huh? And with whom? Su Bai looked at the girl beside him and asked pretending not to know.
"Those two Mi soldiers." The girl said.
"Hah, how is that possible?" Su Baigan laughed twice, "I'm just an ordinary college student, but they are elite soldiers of the United States Marine Corps." How could we possibly know. ”
"You look at each other's eyes, not at strangers' eyes." The girl said in a calm tone.
Su Bai didn't know how to answer for a while, but his heart was full of joy, and he secretly reminded himself that he must not be careless and show flaws.
The girl didn't say anything more, but quietly looked at the scroll she was holding.
It didn't take long for the embassy personnel to return to the car and say to everyone: "It's not a big problem, it's just a routine inspection of the Mi army." It seems that they have found something moving and are searching for suspicious people. ”
After a pause, he added: "I don't know what happened for the time being, I will arrive at the hotel for a while, I hope everyone will stay in the room, and if necessary, we will wait for us to confirm that there is no problem before going out." ”
After a few more minutes of delay, the bus started and continued towards the hotel.
Su Bai looked through the car window, and Lieutenant Vasquez was standing on the side of the road and watching him.
Their gazes crossed in mid-air, and then immediately separated.
Looking at the bus in the distance, Jackson said, "That guy is here again, I don't know what his purpose is." ”
Lieutenant Vasquez shook his head: "Anyway, now we are friends and enemies. Moreover, he has also made a great contribution in the previous operations. Captain Price has a high opinion of him. ”
Jackson didn't speak.
Vasquez added: "Inside that car was a delegation of students from a Chinese university who came to Syria for exchange and study. It seems that the Assassins are one of them. ”
"So that guy is still a college student?" Jackson's face instantly showed an incredible look.
"Maybe, maybe it's just a superficial disguise." Lieutenant Vasquez said, "It's none of our business. Anyway, wait a few more days, and we'll be going home. ”
He turned around, patted Jackson on the shoulder, and said loudly to several American soldiers: "It's the last few days, cheer me up, don't fall down at the last moment because of a moment of negligence." In that case, I'll have to send you back in a box covered with the flag. ”
"Don't worry, sir, we'll walk back on our own." Several GIs laughed.
……
The bus arrived at a hotel and stopped, assigned a room, and everyone went back to their rooms.
The Syrian side prepared a double room for them, and Su Bai lived with another boy he didn't know.
The next day, they left the hotel for an exchange study at the University of Syria.
In the morning, there will be a presentation by the Syrian side, followed by a free exchange and discussion.
In the afternoon, you will have free time.
After discussing with the person in charge of the Syrian side, the teacher who led the team announced that everyone could freely visit the campus and meet at the bus stop when they left.
Hearing this arrangement, Su Bai faintly felt that something was unusual.
However, he didn't think much about it, after all, if there was a problem, the school would definitely not risk the safety of the students. And he didn't feel in danger, so he put aside his worries and wandered around the campus in peace.
As he walked, he came to an empty hallway.
There was silence all around, only the sound of Su Bai's footsteps echoed.
After walking a few steps, Su Bai noticed something strange and stopped.
Turning around and looking, he looked up again, he frowned, and said lightly: "Come out." ”
After a moment of silence, footsteps rang out.
An officer in the uniform of a Syrian colonel appeared at the front.
"It's you." Looking at that familiar face, Su Bai narrowed his eyes and did not show a look of surprise.
He had guessed this moment when he had seen Lieutenant Vasquez before.
"Mr. Assassin, we meet again." The colonel put his hands behind his back, and his face remained as grim as ever.
"To be honest, I'm surprised that you only came to me at this time." Su Bai calmly said the identity of the person who came, "Colonel Izzat." ”
"After all, it takes time to arrange a suitable opportunity. Your embassy is too sensitive, and we don't want your government to misunderstand us at this juncture. ”
Su Bai was noncommittal about the reason he said: "Then wouldn't it be better to pretend that you don't know me." ”
"I don't think any government that knows anything about Mr. Assassin can turn a blind eye. What's more, the previous events have not been long ago. "And, for some reason, my father would love to meet you. ”
"General Nasser...... No, it should be called His Excellency President Nasser. Su Bai was slightly moved, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I didn't expect a little person like me to alarm His Excellency the President." ”
"You're underestimating yourself." Izzat said, then making an inviting gesture, "Please come with me, Mr. Assassin." Father is already waiting for you. Besides, I think you'd better meet someone else. ”
