Chapter 123: Sudden Change
Zhou Tengyun entered the canyon, his car drove carefully in the canyon for a while, came to a slightly flat place, then stopped the car, honked the horn, flashed the car lights a few times, and two Arab men in white robes came out of a cave in the canyon, and they brought Zhou Tengyun into the cave.
Liu Hui quietly entered the cave and followed closely behind Zhou Tengyun. The two Arabs walked with Zhou Tengyun for a while before they came to a slightly larger cave. The cave was brightly lit, and a middle-aged man in a Soviet military uniform and a colonel's epaulette was sitting on a sofa and sipping wine.
As soon as the middle-aged man dressed as a colonel saw Zhou Tengyun coming in, he immediately stood up, hugged Zhou Tengyun, and said in English: "Aha, dear Muhammad, my Muslim friend, you have finally arrived. β
"Dear Colonel Bout, it's a pleasure to meet you, are you ready for what I want?" Zhou Tengyun went straight to the topic.
"Dear Muhammad, these weapons of yours, though numerous, are a small matter in front of my crazy Bout, and it only took me a week to get them for you." Bout laughed.
"Dear Colonel Bout, let me inspect the goods first, you know, we care about this batch of munitions!" Zhou Tengyun said.
"Hehe, customer satisfaction, is the motto of our arms dealers. Please come with me, your stuff is in another cave, let's go and see it together, I promise you will be very satisfied. Bout smiled and got into a car with Zhou Tengyun.
The car actually drove up in the cave, and Liu Hui hurriedly followed. Because the road conditions in the cave were very poor, the speed of the car was not fast, and Liu Hui easily followed. As he ran, he memorized the road inside the cave, after all, when he arrived in a completely unfamiliar place, remembering the road was the most basic human reaction. And those caves are like labyrinths, but under Liu Hui's super memory, they are all remembered by him, and the car drove in the labyrinthine cave for more than ten minutes, about seven or eight kilometers away from the previous cave, and then entered a large cave. The cave was also lit up, and more than a dozen heavily armed masked men, guarding the forty or fifty large boxes stacked on the ground with weapons in their hands, saw Colonel Bout coming, it was a military salute, and Colonel Bout also gave them a military salute. These boxes are the 9-meterΓ9-meter, Γ-9-meter large wooden boxes that Bout used to encapsulate weapons according to Zhou Tengyun's requirements.
"Dear Muhammad, this is what you want." Colonel Bute jumped out of the car and picked up a stack of papers from the car, which he handed to Zhou Tengyun.
Zhou Tengyun took it and saw that the stack of papers was ordered according to the serial number, and each page was numbered with a serial number, and each serial number had a list of the number and specifications of some weapons written on it.
Zhou Tengyun personally opened several large wooden boxes for inspection according to the serial number, and Colonel Nabu stood by and watched Zhou Tengyun inspect, not in a hurry, it seemed that he was very confident in his products.
"Well, I checked five wooden boxes casually, and the contents all match the things on the list, so there should be no problem." Zhou Tengyun thought in his heart, so he said: "What about the quality of these things, there should be no problem, right?" β
"No problem, if you don't believe me, you can test the gun on the spot." Colonel Bout was confident.
"You don't have to test the gun, I still believe you. If there is really a quality problem, I will come to you again. Zhou Tengyun said.
"That's natural, my crazy Bout has been in business for so many years, and that time someone complained about me?" Bout said proudly.
"I'm afraid that those who complained about you have already been killed by you!" Zhou Tengyun secretly slandered, but this is none of his business, in fact, he is actually very satisfied with this batch of arms, and said: "Okay, let's start trading immediately, do you have a network here?" β
"In order to facilitate our transactions, I specially asked people to install the Internet here, do you need me to provide a computer?" Bout said. Their current transactions are all directly transferred through the computer, and no one is stupid to come to the transaction with money.
"No, I bring my own computer." Zhou Tengyun did not use Bute's computer for safety, he took out a laptop from behind him, turned it on, then searched for a wireless signal, logged in to his account, and then began to transfer money.
Bout asked his men to open a laptop as well, connect to the Internet, and start looking up their accounts.
Zhou Tengyun finished the work and said, "Okay, the transfer has been completed, Colonel Bute will check your account situation!" β
Colonel Bute immediately began to inquire about his account and found that Zhou Tengyun had transferred the remaining $45.5 million to his account, of which the extra 500,000 was the cost of packaging a large wooden box.
Colonel Bute turned off the computer with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Dear Muhammad, our transaction has been completed, and now that these goods are yours, shall we open champagne to celebrate?" β
"Dear Colonel Bout, our men are coming over soon to transport these weapons away, so we don't have time to celebrate. If we meet next time, let's celebrate. Zhou Tengyun politely declined Colonel Bute's invitation, this is a place of right and wrong, he is also afraid of long nights and dreams, he just wants to leave here quickly.
"Oh, I understand your feelings, then I won't bother you, I'll go first." Bout had already received the money, and he didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so he hurriedly took his leave, and the personnel who guarded the weapons immediately got into the car and prepared to leave.
Zhou Tengyun didn't keep it, he still had very important things to do. As soon as these people got into the car, they drove away without a trace in an instant.
Liu Hui first shot a few steel balls, bursting the light bulb in the cave, and then jumped out of the darkness.
"Third child, you help me guard outside, and I'll transport these things away." Liu Hui said.
Zhou Tengyun immediately walked out of the cave and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
Liu Hui opened the plane trader and called Alexander, who immediately appeared in front of Liu Hui.
"Dear teacher, are your things ready?" Alexander asked.
"Alexander, my things are ready, you take them first, be sure to keep them, don't let others see them, and don't try to open them." Liu Hui said solemnly.
"Teacher, I see." Alexander replied solemnly.
Liu Hui first took out the items in his storage space and put them on the ground, and then began to put those large wooden boxes of 9 meters Γ 9 meters Γ 9 meters into the storage space, and finally traded them to Alexander.
Five hundred meters away from the cave, several people were lying on the ground, using infrared binoculars to observe the situation nearby, and one of them was holding a signal receiver in his hand.
"A.J., how's it going?" A leader-looking man asked.
"Head, rest assured, everything is under control. The weapons are still in the cave, and I'm sure there's no way this group of al-Qaeda guys will get them out of here. A.J patted his chest and assured.
"That's fine, you all have to cheer up. We, the CIA, in the Middle East, are finally breaking our fast, and if we wipe out all of these al-Qaeda operatives, then we can at least be on par with the Navy SEALs. "The leader was a morale booster.
"Head, when are our personnel arriving?" A.J. asked.
"They're in ambush two kilometers away, but if there's any movement here, they can come to their aid right away, so that none of these sons of a bitch terrorists can escape." The leader said.
"Head." A.J whispered to the leader.
"A.J., watch carefully, don't talk casually." The leader lectured.
"No, head, I want to say if our signaler is broken, there is still a signal on it just now, why is the signal on it suddenly disappearing?" A.J asked, confused.
"What?" The leader took the signal, checked it, and found that everything was in order. "Damn, we've been fooled, they must have taken some means to destroy the signal transmitters hidden in those weapons, they're just too cunning."
"Head, what should we do then? Want to strike? We haven't found anyone from al-Qaeda who has come to meet us, will we be alarmed? A.J asked.
"Call Cobra right now, launch an attack on the target, and we must not allow al-Qaeda to transport this batch of weapons out of Yemen, not even a plank." The leader calmed down and gave a quick order.
"Cobra team, cobra team, this is a weasel, the chicks are sick, come and heal quickly." The signal soldier next to him immediately called the Cobra brigade that was in ambush outside.
Liu Hui didn't know that there were signal transmitters in these wooden boxes, but he put these wooden boxes into the storage space, and then traded them to the magic plane, even if the signal was strong, it was impossible to break through the crystal wall of the plane, so there would definitely be no signal on the signal receiver of the CIA. He didn't know that because of his move, the people outside misjudged and began to act early.
Liu Hui's movements were fast, and he quickly traded the forty-eight large wooden boxes on the ground to Alexander, and then carefully took the items that had been placed on the ground back into the storage space, without missing a trace.
Zhou Tengyun suddenly ran in nervously and said, "Boss, the situation is a little bad, there is a roar of helicopters in the air, and we are probably surrounded by people." β
"Could it be that Colonel Bout who betrayed us?" Liu Hui frowned.
"I don't know if he betrayed us yet, but let's retreat quickly, it's very dangerous here." Zhou Tengyun suggested.
"Are you familiar with the terrain?" Liu Hui asked.
"There is a path in this canyon that leads all the way to the city of Sana'a." Zhou Tengyun took out a map of the vicinity of Sana'a City and studied it.
"No, we don't go to the city of Sana'a, we go to the Red Sea to the west, where we are much more sure of leaving." Liu Hui looked at the map and rejected Zhou Tengyun's proposal, if they were really surrounded, then they would definitely fall into the net when they returned to Sana'a City, because there must be an ambush there. And once the west is out of the mountains, it is a wide desert, and most people will not choose to escape there, so if you are unexpected, the success of escaping to the west is much greater, and there is also Xiao Hei's response.
"Okay, without further ado, we'll go right away." Zhou Tengyun put away the map, took a gun handed over by Liu Hui, and walked out of the cave first.
"Danger!" Liu Hui suddenly felt a whistling sound in the air, and hurriedly reminded him, and Zhou Tengyun also reacted, quickly retreated, and saw a rocket hit the hole, making a violent explosion, and the entire hole was suddenly shrouded in white smoke. Zhou Tengyun fortunately avoided it early and was not injured, but his face was a little pale. Then several rockets came in, and the entrance to the cave was suddenly in flames.
"Go the other way." Liu Hui pulled Zhou Tengyun and ran wildly into the depths of the cave.
Outside the cavern, three helicopters hovered in the air, two of them with several ropes hanging from their fuselages, and some heavily armed men in black were gliding down the ropes.
βgoγgoγgoοΌβ The captain yelled at the men in black who had fallen to the ground in the headset, and the men in black immediately covered each other and approached the entrance of the cave. A man in black threw a flashbang into the hole, followed by a stun bomb and a tear gas canister, before quickly rushing in. But inside the cave there was only white smoke from the explosion, but what terrorists were there? The weapons that had been piled up on the ground were gone.
Liu Hui and Zhou Tengyun were running wildly in the cave, and they had already heard the sound of explosions coming from behind them. With his astonishing memory, Liu Hui recalled the path he had come, and then ruled out some passages that were obviously dead.
Liu Hui stopped at a three-way road intersection, pointed to one of the roads and said: "Third child, when I came here just now, I didn't find a tire mark on this passage, but now there is a mark, which can only mean that it was left by Colonel Bute." Looks like they've just gone out of here, so we might as well follow them and see how it goes. Liu Hui said.
"I listen to the boss, you can go how you say." Zhou Tengyun is very simple, he knows that he is a little behind Liu Hui in terms of analyzing problems, so he is simply lazy, and he will do what Liu Hui says.
Liu Hui quickly ran towards the designated passage, and Zhou Tengyun followed him closely. Both of them are entry-level cultivators, their physical strength is quite terrifying, and in addition to being in a narrow cave, they can run faster than a car. They had been running down the passage for more than ten minutes, and they had not found Colonel Bout, but the tracks of the car's tires were still stretching forward.
After turning a corner, a cool breeze suddenly blew in front of them, and when the two looked at it, they found that they had come out of the cave and came to a clearing. Liu Hui slowed down, and by sensing Xiao Hei's position, he immediately found that he was heading towards the west. So he greeted Zhou Tengyun and began to run towards Xiao Hei's position.
The leader of the CIA's Middle East branch now has a headache, his personnel have all entered the cave, but they have not found even a box of munitions, nor a single terrorist, which makes him very angry. However, there is no way, the terrain here is complicated, and it is not suitable for small-scale encirclement and suppression, unless a large number of troops are mobilized, this place can be thoroughly searched.
"Contact Mr. Smith right away and ask him to ask the White House for help, we need satellite images within a 100-kilometer radius. We have to find these terrorists, or the consequences of these weapons falling into the hands of terrorists will be unimaginable, especially when their boss [***] is killed, and these terrorists have gone berserk. β
The Leader's men immediately contacted Mr. Smith to convey the Leader's opinion.
"Head, Mr. Smith said he would immediately contact the White House to get authorization. But he wants you to step up your pursuit and don't let go of this group of terrorists. The subordinate relayed Smith's words.
"Immediately call the Cobra 2 and Cobra 3 teams, tell them not to ambush on the way back to the city, and let them immediately search within ten kilometers of Fang Yuan, and be sure to find those terrorists." The leader gave the order.
Liu Hui and Zhou Tengyun ran at a galloping speed, and their speed would not be lower than 100 kilometers per hour. Suddenly, seeing a car light flashing in front of them, the two quickly slowed down and approached the car with the flashing headlights.
Liu Hui's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately found that it was Colonel Bute sitting in the car, and he seemed to be talking about something. As soon as Zhou Tengyun saw Colonel Bute, he was about to rush up and grab him, Liu Hui grabbed him, made a silent movement, and then listened carefully to what Colonel Bout said.
"God, I don't know what happened to my Muslim brother, whether he was caught by the CIA." Bout said.
"Colonel, those CIAs must have been lured in by that Arab, but luckily we found out early and ran away quietly. If they are caught by the U.S. military, they deserve it. One of his subordinates said.
"You know what, this Mohammed was surrounded when he was trading with us, and if something goes wrong with him now, then we are the biggest suspects. Do you think he is alone? You see, the weapons he chose were all aimed at the US military. Which battlefield is there still a large number of US troops on the battlefield now? What battlefield does it need so many weapons? That was in Afghanistan, and I'm sure that Mohammed was definitely an Afghan Taliban or al-Qaeda. God, you must bless them and never let anything happen, or not only will my reputation be ruined, but they will also cause great trouble! Colonel Bout lectured his men while drawing a cross on his chest.
"So what do we do now? Go back and help them? The man said.
"Idiot, go back and help them now, we're just a dead end, let's run as far as we can!" Colonel Bout was furious, and his man pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the car sped forward.
"The third child, they don't know the situation either, maybe they were framed, it may be useful to keep him, our top priority now is to rush to the Red Sea immediately, only when we get there, we will be safe." Liu Hui said to Zhou Tengyun.
"Since it wasn't Colonel Bute who betrayed us, who was the troublemaker? But now is not the time to pursue this, let's hurry first! Zhou Tengyun nodded in agreement, and then continued to run. And Bout's car in front of him began to turn, and the direction in which Liu Hui was moving began to separate.
