Long Zhan patted the sleepy Ephraim and pointed his finger in front of him to remind him.
“What the Fawker?”
Ephram squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The four low-beam headlights blocking the road were so conspicuous that he suddenly ended his drowsiness.
Robbery on the road??
An idea came to Ephram's mind. Seeing the car also slowing down, he hurriedly asked: "Hey, man, why are you slowing down?"
When encountering an armed group blocking the road, you must find a way to rush past.
If you stop, you will really turn into a pig!
"It's okay, don't be nervous..."
"Don't be nervous, you bastard. This is very wrong, okay?" Ephraim was very anxious and nervous, interrupting Marlboro.
"It's okay, we just reached the border." Marlboro explained.
"Is this a border inspection? I'll go." Long Zhan was eye-opening.
He had seen the worst border checkpoint before. At least he would use boards to build houses in the middle, so that he could make sense of it.
Since there is nothing on the border between Jordan and Iraq.
There are no boundary markers on the roadside!
"What? This is the border? Are you sure you're not kidding me? Man." Ephraim was even more shocked than Long Zhan.
"I run three or four times a month. Yes, you can tell it with your eyes closed." Marlboro assured him, patting his dry chest.
"All right."
Ephraim was completely convinced.
Just as the three of them were talking, Marlboro parked the car on the road. About 5 meters ahead, there were two pickup trucks side by side.
Huh~
The lights on the pickup truck were turned on, illuminating the front of the truck brightly.
Long Zhan has gone through relevant anti-tolerance training, and his ability to adapt to strong light is pretty good. He can adapt by squinting his eyes slightly.
I saw two border soldiers with guns, one on the left and one on the right, walking towards both ends of the truck cab.
Ephraim's eye was painfully shot, and he felt better after covering it with his hand.
Marlboro was accustomed to this scene, and was not as exaggerated as Ephraim. He squinted his eyes and tilted his head, and skillfully opened the window glass on his side.
Ephraim on the right couldn't see clearly and just used his hand to block the spotlight without rolling down the window.
"Pah, pah, pah."
The border soldier came over and patted the window.
Marlboro quickly said hello and reminded: "Roll down the window quickly, quickly."
Ephraim saw a very fierce-looking gun-wielding soldier outside the window who was armed with live ammunition. He was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled down the window.
When the soldier saw how tall Long Zhan was in the car, his eyes became a little more wary and he put his right hand on the gun handle.
"Where are you guys going?"
The soldier outside the cab asked loudly.
"To Baghdad, let's go to Baghdad." Marlboro replied.
"who are they?"
The soldiers outside the cab pointed at Long Zhan and Ephraim.
"They are doing business in Baghdad and transport some goods to sell there." Marlboro explained smoothly.
"What type of business? What kind of goods are transported?" the soldier then asked.
Marlboro has no way to explain it. If there are 6,000 Beretta pistols in the car, they will definitely not be able to get out of the border tonight.
You may even get into trouble for this, and you may even have to be arrested and locked up.
So Marlboro prepared to handle it as usual, bent down and reached under the seat to dig it out.
The two soldiers thought he was going to get a gun. After all, after Iraq was invaded by the United States, the country was in chaos and there were guns everywhere.
Frightened, Nima raised the gun and shouted a warning to the people in the cab.
Ephraim was so frightened that he sat there without even daring to move his eyes.
David, who was disturbed by the noise in the cab, looked through the rear window and found two guns pointed at him, and his heartbeat jumped to 180.
Not even daring to snort a fart, I raised my hands obediently.
Marlboro was afraid that these two guys would shoot randomly, so he quickly raised his hands and said, "It's cigarettes. I just got two cigarettes as a gift for you."
When the two soldiers saw the gun in Marlboro's hand, their expressions suddenly softened.
The gun in his hand was also put down.
I walked over and picked up two cigarettes and took a look and found that they were still good products from foreign countries. A smile appeared on my lips and I greeted the convoy: "Make way for them to pass."
Marlboro breathed a sigh of relief, put the car in gear again and drove forward.
After the truck passed between the two vehicles, two army trucks drove onto the road again, blocking the road which was not wide.
He also turned off the spotlights on the car and continued to wait for the next prey to arrive.
The current regime in Iraq is very chaotic. It is nominally governed by the Iraqis themselves, but the United States still has tens of thousands of troops.
This makes Iraq full of chaos and corruption from top to bottom, and every agency.
Deliberately setting up checkpoints on the road to "make a fortune" is nothing more than the most basic form of "corruption."
Marlboro drove the truck across the border and officially entered Iraq's Anbar Province. He continued to look forward overnight and headed straight for Baghdad.
Ephraim, who was frightened awake by a gun pointed at him at the border, and David in the trunk.
The two of them no longer had any sleepiness.
I don’t dare to sleep anymore!
It is too dangerous to be in a place like this. Someone may put a gun to your head anytime and anywhere. Even if you are afraid of being beaten to death, no one will take care of you.
Ephraim and David did not dare to sleep, they were so frightened that they lost sleep.
Long Zhan was in good spirits from the beginning, but he didn't take what he just encountered seriously.
Because in a small scene like that just now, Long Zhan could kill them all in two minutes and turn that group of Iraqi soldiers into corpses
Therefore, even when he was held up by a gun, Long Zhan was not afraid or nervous at all.
My heartbeat didn't even speed up.
Thinking that it would take several hours to drive to Baghdad, Long Zhan simply crossed his arms, leaned against the car, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
David was lying on the cargo, staring blankly in a daze.
Thinking back to three or four months ago, he was a masseur at Shatang Villa, giving all kinds of old men relaxing massages every day.
Later, I no longer wanted to do that kind of work, thinking I had discovered a very profitable business, so I became a flyer salesman again.
As a result, not a single bed sheet was sold, and they were all piled up at home, taking up half the room.
But now?
He was lying on a truck full of guns, and he was smuggling across the desert of Iraq with his best friend from junior high school.
This change was so great that it made him feel like he was in a dream.
Ephraim also felt dreamy.
But Ephraim was much more courageous. Even though he was very nervous when he came to a war center like Iraq, he was able to keep his composure.
Thinking that he can earn 100 million in the future, Ephraim is even more motivated.
