Chapter 8 (II) Border Towns

Yanke's other monitor began to play the news, the news kept mentioning the news that the flight from Honolulu International Airport to Los Angeles was forced to land in Monterrey, Mexico, but the news broadcast picture was also very simple, and most of the news videos were taken by passengers in the terminal with mobile phones or other devices from a distance, although it was far away, but it was still clear that 4 people jumped out of the nose, and then the "passengers" on the plane swarmed out and ran wildly. Soon after, they suddenly fell to the ground en masse.

Some of them also filmed several "passengers" rushing to the ambulance crew, but when the media interviewed a government spokesman, they were told that they had no comment.

"Just after the accident, the Mexican government did not give any clear answer, and the US government also said that it had no comment, the relevant media found that it was a temporary flight after interviewing the company that owned the flight, but there is relevant evidence that the plane was hijacked after taking off from Honolulu International Airport, so far, no organization has claimed responsibility for the incident, but just half an hour ago, a list of passengers on the flight was accidentally exposed on the Internet...... The host of the news has been reporting on the incident continuously, and after Yank changed the channel, it was found that all the eyes of the world's leading media were focused on the flight, and all the agencies involved in the investigation of the accident remained silent.

"As expected, no agency dared to disclose what was found on the flight." Ami's voice, who was in the Gu hunting ground, came out of the communication channel, "I have another new news here to tell you that all the Thai government troops in Chiang Rai Province have been evacuated, and at the same time, the government troops in the surrounding Pan County, Fang County, Chiang Kham, and Mo County have all withdrawn to Phitsanulok, and a defensive line has been established there. Although they do not have automatic weapons, they have cold weapons and bows and arrows, and they are gradually pressing into the defense line established by the government army in Phitsanulok. In Bangkok, demonstrations continued, but this time into an anti-persecution game, with organizers claiming that the Thai government was cracking down on Shandu parishioners. ”

"I'm ......," Tang Shuxing rubbed his forehead, "We've only been away for a few days, how could things have developed so quickly?" Why are there so many crazy people who follow Shanduism all of a sudden? ”

"I don't know." Ami replied, "We can only receive radio communications nearby, judging from them." ”

"Yangke, check the Internet and other related ones to see if there is any news from Thailand." Ah Yue instructed on the side.

Ji Kefeng immediately got up. Give up your seat to Yank. Yanke quickly found a flurry of media sources. But nothing has paid as much attention to what happened in Thailand as the flight accident in Mexico, and even many media websites are reporting on the demonstrations in Thailand one minute, and the next minute they are immediately replaced by the Mexican flight incident.

"There was no bloodshed. It's just a peaceful demonstration, and the Thai government won't claim that we're giving up Chiang Rai to drug dealers, right? Yang Ke teased while inquiring, "And I went through the encrypted channel before, and I connected to your friends through cracking, do you know what this means?" ”

"Something to say!" Tang Shu was in a hurry.

Yanke pointed to the monitor on the right: "This is a signal concretization simulation map, that is, the signal that you can't see with the naked eye is simulated into a line, do you see the location of Rai Fu and the surrounding area?" There is very little signal transmission there. ”

"The signal is blocked." Ah Yue stood behind and understood, "They blocked the signal in Chiang Rai Province. ”

"And that's not all." Ami's voice came out of the communicator again, "I'm also listening to what may be the distress channel of an American intelligence agent. The foreign intelligence officers in Chiang Rai Province, those who didn't have time to leave, seem to have been arrested by Zheng Guoyuan, and their lives and deaths are now unknown. ”

"Oh no, Shangdu really did it. Astaya's story must have given them a boost of confidence. Tang Shuxing sat down.

The war in Astaya and the subsequent mutation of the walking corpses, the United Nations can only continue to cover up, and that is only the first step for Shangdu, who tested the reaction of other countries and decided to expand the sphere of influence around Shangdu after discovering that they had succeeded.

Shang didn't trust Zheng Guoyuan, so he sent people to form his own militia team, the people are always ignorant, and it is easiest to control them by using religious and political brainwashing. Shandu began to launch demonstrations in Bangkok and other parts of Thailand on a mere spurious basis, spreading the disaster throughout Thailand.

The main envoy knew very well that the Thai police did not dare to shoot, and the government did not dare to issue such an order, because once the fire was fired, the government would lose in terms of international public opinion.

"If it were me......," Gu Huaiyi analyzed, "I would send people to blend in with the demonstrators, or disguise themselves as government soldiers to open fire on the demonstrators, escalate the conflict, frame the government forces, and then use my own channels to lead the media as needed, for example, so that they can see what Shangdu wants them to see, and through media propaganda, the demonstration will eventually turn into a big drama of the people overthrowing tyranny." ”

"Yes, and the purpose of overthrowing tyranny will definitely be different in the future, but no matter which statement appears, the name Shangdujiao will appear on the stage of history, and more and more people will learn about Shangdujiao, and the apocalyptic theory of Shangdujiao will also spread, with frequent natural disasters......" Tang Shuxing didn't dare to think about it anymore, not to mention anything else, just the series of absurd events that appeared during the apocalyptic period in 2012 can prove that this series of actions made by Shangdu will eventually have unexpected effects.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Shuxing got up and said: "We must set off immediately, find Chi Fengyu, go further, get closer to the high-level of Shangdu, capture the thief and capture the king first, and find the mastermind first!" ”

At this time, Ah Yue poured cold water on the side: "If you find out that even if the mastermind is dead, things will continue according to the predetermined track, and there is more than one mastermind, there are many people, what should you do?" ”

"Then come one by one, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill them all." Tang Shuxing sat down and said word for word, "If Shangdu really succeeds, then it is not only a country or a continent that will be implicated, but the whole world, and they will control the whole world under the banner of saving the world." ”

"It's not safe for you to enter the United States by water, you have to go straight across the border. The border between the United States and Mexico is very long, from Tijuana in the west to Matamoros in the east, a total of more than 3,000 kilometers, the United States now has at least a few million illegal immigrants from Mexico, and nearly 100 people die at the border every year for various reasons, where the surface temperature in the early morning reaches 60 degrees Celsius, although dangerous, but safe. After speaking, Yang Ke threw a handheld GPS to Ah Yue, "I smuggled from Ukraine to the United States back then. Wanted for crimes committed in the United States. When he fled to Mexico. Walking the Devil's Path as well, I had a backpack that I put at Paulia in Morro with a map in it. ”

Immediately afterwards, Yangke took out the car keys and threw them to Ah Yue. And tell her to turn on the handheld GPS, and he will keep an eye on it.

Before leaving, Ah Yue hugged Yangke and thanked him, Yangke still looked careless, but asked them to hurry up and set off towards Moro Town in the evening, if there was no long pause on the way, it should be possible to reach that Mexican border town in five hours at most.

Everyone said goodbye to Yanke, and then got into the car and left.

Tang Shuxing, who was sitting in the car, was still thinking about the news about Thailand he had received from Ami before. The radio in the car kept playing the flight accident broadcast by the local radio station, and Ah Yue adjusted for a long time before finding an English channel, but from the news broadcast, it was heard that there was still no progress in the investigation of the accident, but some Mexican security services claimed that it was a premeditated terrorist attack. He also said that hundreds of people witnessed the four terrorists fleeing from the front of the cockpit.

Of course, these 4 people are obviously referring to Tang Shu to punish them.

Gu Huaiyi was still sleeping, and Ji Kefeng also seemed to be infected, and the two of them had been sleeping all the way, not even moving their bodies. Ah Yue, who was driving, seemed very relaxed, listening to the radio, and learning a few sentences from time to time, only Tang Shuxing knew that she had put a silencer pistol under the seat.

The most terrifying thing is that this woman doesn't seem to be worried about being stopped by the police at all, and even when she drives past a patrol police car on the side of the road, she whistles and bangs on the door to tease the idle police officers leaning outside the car.

Tang Shuxing took the GPS and watched the car get closer and closer to the location of the town.

It had been four hours since they left Yanke's hideout, and the car had been speeding apart from stopping to refuel once, and several police patrols had not been questioned along the way, as if yesterday's forced landing at Monterey airport had no impact on the country.

Perhaps Lei Yu is right, Mexico is too poor to respond to this kind of thing, and can only follow the path guided by the US government.

After another hour and a half, Tang Shuxing finally saw the small town with sparkling lights in front of the front of the car, and judging from the bilingual signs on the side of the road, their destination Moluo Town had arrived. The town is a horrific tattered, and although there are lights on all sides, the people walking in the dim light are like walking dead, perhaps because there are so many stowaways like them, so the people in the town are not surprised.

However, there are too few people in this town, and from the time they entered the town, they saw only six or seven in total, and they were either old people or children.

When Ah Yue slowed down the car, a Mexican girl ran over and kept saying something to Ah Yue, who was driving.

The girl muttered a lot, but Ah Yue didn't pay attention to her, and finally the man was tired of running, so he had to stop, hold his knees and pant, and watch the car leave.

"What did she say to you?" Tang Shuxing watched from the rearview mirror as the girl picked up the stone and threw it in the direction of the car, looking angry and ruined.

Ah Yue tilted her head to look at the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "She said that she has a safe and fast way to take us across the border, and she only needs to give her $500 per person." After Ah Yue finished speaking, he looked at the houses outside the town that looked crumbling, "This kind of liar is everywhere in border towns. ”

There are many snakeheads in the border town who lead people to smuggle people here, but these people are nicknamed "ghost cats" by them. The reason for this title is that people from the border management and immigration departments call themselves "cats" and stowaways "wild mice". And the head of the snake knows the methods and patrol rules of the "cat", and is as cunning as the "cat", but he does different things from the "cat", so he has such a name.

Ghost Cats charge stowaways only $500 to $700 per person, but all they do is guide — keep you from getting lost in the desert, teach you how to avoid helicopters and patrol cars, and then take you to the border, break the barbed wire or iron plates, and send you through.

However, many ghost cats just collect money, take the stowaways to a difficult location in the desert, if the stowaways are small, the ghost cats will kill them one by one, if the number of stowaways is too large, simply leave them behind, and flee back alone, leaving the stowaways to die of sunburn and thirst in the desert.

Returning to the border town, the ghost cat will tell the others that the stowaways have been smuggled safely to the United States of the Free World by themselves.

Most ghost cats use this trick repeatedly, because the abandoned stowaways either died or crossed the border on their own willpower and luck, so no one could come back to expose their lies.

There are more than 3,000 kilometers of border between the United States and Mexico, and it is impossible for the two countries to keep an eye on every place, and in some no-man's lands, cars are only dispatched to patrol along the route at regular or irregular intervals every day, and expensive helicopters cannot appear in the air at any time.

So the less crowded the danger zone, the less likely it is to be spotted by patrols.

Of course, your chances of dying will also increase several times over.

The car finally stopped at the door of a house in the north of the town, Ah Yue did not turn off the engine, but just let Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng guard the car, while he and Tang Shuxing got out of the car and walked to the strange house built of broken wooden planks and discarded steel plates.

There was a railing for the horse's leash at the door, an abandoned manger, and a decorative scarecrow with almost all the straw pulled out. The scarecrow also had a wooden board on his chest that read "Wanderer's House", and under the board sat a boy in a tank top and shorts.

The boy was holding a knife and was slashing the ground, and when he saw Ah Yue and Tang Shuxing coming forward, he just shouted towards the house.

After a while, a fat woman came out of the door, and you were tired of looking at it.

The woman stood in the doorway, rubbing her hands vigorously on the sides of her clothes, glanced at them, and prepared to go back to the house.

Ah Yue immediately stepped forward and said in Mexican, "Yangke, Duke of Blood Fox, let's get his things." As she spoke, Ah Yue took out a stack of dollars from her pocket.

The woman stopped, slowly turned to look at Ah Yue, and then nodded and motioned for them to enter the house.

After they entered the house, the boy who was playing with the knife immediately walked to the door of the house and sat down, carefully sharpening the door frame with a knife, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng who were sitting in the car.
