Chapter 2: Panic (1).

The man squatting behind heard Gu Xiao and Duan Yunnian's words, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he trembled all over, trembling like chaff.

"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die here..."

Duan Yunnian turned his head and comforted the man a few words without pain, but the man became more and more panicked, his mouth kept reading, his frightened eyes floated around, the sweat of the bean was flowing down from his forehead, and his breathing became heavier and more rapid.

"Encounter mercenaries... It's better to meet the rebels, no, they are more terrible than the rebels... It is estimated that which rebel army hired it, and that it is to kill people and blame the government army, or other rebels, and kill people with knives... We... We're going to die!"

Gu Xiao looked surprisingly calm, her eyes staring closely at the left front, scanning the group of mercenaries surrounding them again, and retracting her gaze.

"There is still a glimmer of life in nine deaths, and it is too early to say that death is due..."

"Xiaoxiao, do you see what's coming?"

"It's not that you see it, it's that you hear it, they're talking about it... The first time I came to the desert, I was not familiar with this environment, and I had been looking at it with the navigation just now, but they didn't know that this piece of sand dunes and the sea would move from time to time, so now the navigation is basically useless, and the only local driver was killed by them. "

"They don't speak English or Arabic, are you sure you heard it right?"

"It is a local minority language ... South Asia"

Before he finished speaking, the nervous man behind him suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, and the people around him exclaimed, and the movement immediately attracted the attention of the gunman.

"Hey, over there, what are you doing?"

The tall masked man shouted in stiff English, then walked over and took a look, cursed impatiently, picked up the gun and pointed it at the man, and was about to pull the trigger.

"Wait, you guys... Can't kill him!"

Gu Xiao suddenly screamed, the masked man looked at her, the muzzle of the gun was also in front of her, and found that it was a thin girl, and sneered mockingly and contemptuously, "Oh? Why?"

"Because ..."

Gu Xiao took a deep breath, lowered his eyes to avoid the muzzle of the gun aimed at his head, forcibly held back his fear, and replied in a different language: "He is the only one of us who is familiar with this area except for the driver, without him, we would all be trapped in the desert." "

Hearing this, the masked man pulled down his mask, brown skin, full of beard, typical South Asian appearance.Gu Xiao was even more sure of her judgment.

The beard looked Gu Xiao up and down for a while, put away the gun, turned around and walked to the side of his companion, a few people said a few words, only to see that the others also looked back, and after a while, the woman with the pistol walked up to Gu Xiao and squatted down, "Do you understand what we say?"

Gu Xiao nodded hesitantly, "Understand a little ..."

The woman laughed, patted Gu Xiao's shoulder heavily, stood up and looked at the unconscious man, moved her hand back, a black man came over, took out a bottle of water and poured a few mouthfuls into the man's mouth, the man coughed a few times, and slowly woke up.

"Tell him to go to the town of Lekamu, and when he gets there, he will let you go. "

The woman pulled the pistol twice, the bullet clicked and loaded, and aimed it at Gu Xiao's head, "If I find out that you are playing tricks and find out once, I will choose someone to send him to God." "

Duan Yunnian looked at Gu Xiao worriedly, "These people are all murderous without blinking, not to mention that no one knows the way, even if they really get to Lekamu, they may not let us go..."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. "

Gu Xiao smiled, shook Duan Yunnian's hand, and watched her get into the car with the others, only then did she turn around, the man was sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of fear, "What to do, I don't know the way..."

"Don't be nervous, just pretend to be showing me the way and just keep talking to me. "

"Speak... Say... Say what?"

"Whatever. "

Gu Xiao looked at the car in front of the car, six people got into the big truck behind, one was driving, one was the co-driver, the other four were responsible for guarding everyone in the back, and the remaining seven people were in the pickup truck they were driving when they got up, in addition to themselves and the man who pointed the way, there was also a very muscular white man who was responsible for driving.

The two cars drove bumping on the road that was almost flooded with yellow sand.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when the sun was in full bloom, rows of sparse sparse saxon grass kept passing outside the car, and from time to time you could see the dry animal bones scattered in the sand, and then they were buried in an instant.

Not long after, an earthy yellow ruin appeared in front of it, leaving only a relatively intact half of the dome, on which there were black traces of artillery bombardment, and it was vaguely recognizable that it was a mosque that could be seen everywhere here.

The woman was suddenly alert, raised her pistol and pointed it at the back of Gu Xiao's head, "I don't see this mosque on the map, this is not the way to Lekamu, you are taking us in circles?"

Gu Xiao and the man who "pointed the way" glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and forcibly calmed himself.

He just said that if you take the shortcut road on the map, there is no water sourcealong the way, and we need to replenish water at any time to get to Lekamu, in addition, there is a large dark minefield over there, and it is easy to get lost in the dust, although this road is a little farther, but there is a water source, and it is relatively safe. "

The woman was suspicious and shook her pistol at Gu Xiao, "It's better to do this... Remember, don't play tricks. "

The man whispered, "We won't be perfunctory for long, sooner or later they will find out that we don't know the direction of Lekamu at all, and they will kill us all then." "

Gu Xiao glanced back, and said calmly: "If they are looking for supplies, they can go to the nearest Ruokamu, why go to Lekamu? I think it's because Ruokamu has government troops there, and the news says that it is now a ceasefire, and the UN peacekeeping forces are also stationed near Ruokamu, and mercenaries are not protected by international law on the battlefield, so they don't go there." "

"What do you mean... Trick them into going to Ruokamu? Do you know the way?"

"Do you see the mosque in front of you, I passed by there when I first came here, eight to ten kilometers north of Ruokamu, very close. "

"But which side is north? This sand and dust came together, and the direction was all messed up. "

"It's 9:50 a.m., and the sun hasn't reached midheaven yet, so if you're right, there... It's due north. "

Gu Xiao pointed to the left front, turned his head and said two words to the white man driving in English, the man looked back at the woman holding the pistol, and saw that she nodded, then he turned the steering wheel and drove to the left front.

Continuing to drive for a while, Gu Xiao looked at the speed of the car, and silently calculated how long it had been in his heart, How many kilometers were there to Ruokamu, if they could enter the control of the government army or the peacekeeping force before they saw the town, they would have a chance to live.

When there were about three kilometers or so left, a haizi appeared in the field of vision, and the pickup truck behind it stopped, jumped out of the three people with marching kettles on their bodies, and ran towards that side excitedly.

Gu Xiao wondered in her heart, in her memory, if there was no sea in the desert near Kamu, could it be that there were also moving sand dunes here? Or, she had misjudged the direction?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a deafening loud bang, only to see the yellow sand in front of me explode like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and instantly burst up with billowing smoke, mixed with tongues of fire straight into the sky, and then, I don't know where to rush out of a group of soldiers with loaded guns, I can't help but say, I raised my guns in unison and fired wildly at the mercenaries, dense bullets rained down on the body of the car, and the ping-pong sparks splashed with bursts of metal friction.

The screams came one after another, and the mercenaries were obviously caught off guard, and they were in chaos for a while.

The white man driving the car scolded viciously, picked up the sniper rifle from under his seat and began to shoot back, after all, the mercenaries are also experienced professional soldiers, none of them are vegetarians, and they quickly controlled the disadvantage, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

Gu Xiao pulled the frightened man and lay down under the seat with his head buried in his head, not daring to move.

At this time, I don't know where a bullet flew from nowhere, and it hit the white man's head, and the person immediately fell straight on his back, his eyes were round, and his face with a hideous expression was less than ten centimeters away from Gu Xiao's face.

Gu Xiao closed her eyes tightly, don't turn her head not to look at this terrifying dead face, her heartbeat was so fast that she couldn't be suppressed, as if she was about to jump out of her chest.

What a bullshit ceasefire agreement, again a dead letter.
