Chapter Forty-Eight: The Closest Moment to Death
Just after filming the video, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a slightly chubby body walked in.
Seeing him, Fisbaru's eyes lit up, and he said to Zheng Jing: "This is Boehringer."
Boehringer came to the front desk, said hello to Fisebaru, and then looked at Zheng Jing with a smile on his face: "Friend from China, welcome to Iraq, I am Boehringer."
"Hello, my name is Zheng Jing, you can call me Zheng." Zheng Jing stretched out his hand and shook it.
Boehringer looked at Fisbaru and said, "Heard Fisbaru say you're going to Mosul?"
"Yes, I heard before I came to Iraq that Mosul is the second largest city in Iraq, and I wanted to go there and see what Mosul is like now. And take pictures of the scene. ”
At this time, Boehringer saw the camera in Zheng Jing's hand: "Do you have any goals for going to Mosul?" If not, I can take you to the place where I used to live. ”
Hearing Boehringer's words, Zheng Jing thought about it, and from the map, the treasure was in the city of Mosul, including a large area outside the city.
He didn't know what the local area was like now, so he could go to the place where Boehringer used to live first, and after reading it, he could also ask Boehringer to take him around Mosul, it was best to find treasures in the city, and if not, he could go outside the city.
"Okay, I don't know much about it, and it's up to you as a local."
Seeing that the two of them had already said yes, at this time Fisbaru said: "It's not too early now, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to come back."
As soon as he heard this, Zheng Jing looked at the time, and the good guy actually passed an hour.
"Then let's go."
Coming outside, an old-fashioned Mercedes was parked on the side of the road.
In the early 80s, Iraq was one of the richer countries in the Middle East.
At that time, Iraq's per capita GDP surpassed that of China, and at its peak, its per capita GDP was three times that of South Korea.
At that time, Iraq's economy was on par with some developed countries in Europe and the United States.
It can be said that every household has a car, and medical care, education, pension and other aspects are free of charge.
Had it not been for the war, Iraq's economy would have been the second largest in the world.
It is a pity that the advent of war directly dragged down this once holy place in the Middle East.
Sitting in the car, Zheng Jing looked at the decoration in the car curiously.
Seeing Zheng Jing's curious appearance, Boehringer fastened his seat belt and said with a smile: "This car has been around for forty years, and my father bought it, and now I have driven it for thirty years."
Good guys, older than all his age.
It is more than 340 kilometers from Baghdad to Mosul.
There are several cities to pass along the way.
Boehringer asked him if he would go straight to the highway or from the city.
Zheng Jing said without thinking: "Let's go from the highway, hurry up like this."
Boehringer nodded: "Yes, you are done, let's go."
………………
Passing by the place where the battle took place last night, Zheng Jing took a look and found that a two-story building had been blown up, and there were many white marks left by bullets on the walls.
Boehringer also knew what was going on here, and said casually: "If you stay here for a long time, you will know, such things are not uncommon."
"Very common?" Zheng Jing thought he had misheard.
Boehringer said while driving: "Yes, it's too long, because there will be attacks from time to time, so those of us who are driving outside will call home to report safety when they encounter an attack, so that the family does not have to worry."
"You look at these checkpoints and armored vehicles on the side of the road, these heavily armed soldiers randomly inspect cars passing by." While waiting for the red light, Boehringer explained to him the role of the checkpoint.
Zheng Jingran: "In other words, the checkpoint was set up to prevent people from carrying bombs?"
Boehringer nodded: "You can say the same."
I don't know if the gaze of the two of them was too obvious for a soldier standing on the armored car to see. Then two soldiers with submachine guns walked towards them.
Just when Zheng Jing and Boehringer thought they were checking on the two of them, they suddenly saw two submachine guns with a black luster sticking out of a brown BMW car in front of them.
The terrorist attack took place right before his eyes.
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
Zheng Jing saw that the two soldiers were instantly beaten into a sieve by bullets.
Red blood sprays were sprayed all over the surrounding vehicles.
Zheng Jing looked at the blood on the car window glass and felt that his mind was blank.
Boehringer reacted quickly, and immediately pressed Zheng Jing's head and lay down.
And he's still looking for a chance to get out of the car.
Boehringer said to Zheng Jing with a frightened face: "Friend, are you okay, it seems that our luck is not good, and we actually encountered a terrorist attack."
Listening to the gunshots around him, Zheng Jing's heart was pounding, and his mind was blank, and he didn't even hear the mystery that Boehringer said.
The battle ended quickly, and the battle ended in less than two minutes.
Boehringer glanced out and saw that the soldiers had surrounded the BMW in front of him.
The brand-new car had been beaten into a sieve, and the body was riddled with bullet holes.
Seeing the blood pouring out of the bullet holes, Boehringer knew that the person inside was dead.
Zheng Jing sat up with a pale face, and couldn't help but look at the place where the two soldiers fell to the ground.
I saw that in addition to the blood all over the ground, the corpse was gone.
It looks like someone has been carried away.
Thinking of the scene where the two soldiers were beaten into a sieve just now, Zheng Jing felt that death was so close to him.
Seeing Zheng Jing recover, Boehringer patted him, then took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
"I just encountered a terrorist attack, I'm fine, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, I took a friend from Huaxia to Mosul, yes, from Huaxia, he's fine, don't worry, I'll pay attention."
"Your wife?" Zheng Jing asked.
Boehringer looked outside and smiled: "Yes, my wife, she is very good, I love her very much."
"I could hear it, she was nervous to hear that you were being attacked."
"You know, this is the closest I've come to death." Boehringer said with palpitations.
"I was the same, the first time I saw a dead man, my mind was blank, I was trembling with fear, I was terrified." As soon as Zheng Jing closed his eyes now, there was a picture of the death of the two soldiers.
As a person who has come over, Boehringer knows Zheng Jing's current situation.
"Don't think about that picture, think about the beautiful picture, and slowly you will find that the picture you just saw is not a big deal."
Zheng Jing nodded, trying not to think about the picture just now.
At this moment, the two noticed that a military vehicle drove up, the military vehicle stopped at the checkpoint, and then a dozen heavily armed soldiers got out of the car.
I don't know what the new soldiers and the soldiers at the checkpoint said, Zheng Jing saw them checking the cars on this road one by one.
"Can we still go to Mosul today?"
Seeing this scene, Zheng Jing didn't know if he could pass.
"Don't worry about this, the inspection will be fast, and we'll be able to leave later." Boehringer said.
Sure enough, the soldiers checked all the surrounding vehicles and let them go when they found that there was nothing wrong.
After leaving, the two suddenly relaxed,
