Feng Nan and others hid the soldier's body deep in the jungle. As long as the body did not stink, it would be difficult for people on the road to find it. After hiding the body, Feng Nan asked the European tourist and the black woman to put on the camouflage of the dead soldier.
Wearing military uniforms, because under the current circumstances, wearing military uniforms is relatively safer. However, among the three people, only the black woman has dark skin. Feng Nan and the European tourists will not be able to get away easily even if they wear military uniforms, so Feng Nan asked the European tourists to
He made the cockpit with him and asked the black woman to serve as the machine gunner in the carriage. However, even though Feng Nan taught her step by step, she was still only half-baked. But it didn't matter. Feng Nan didn't expect her to be brave enough to kill the enemy.
Looks like, just keep things in perspective.
Feng Nan drove, and the European tourists sat in the passenger seat. They talked like a chatterbox all the way, talking about what happened after they broke up with Feng Nan. Because they spoke too fast, Feng Nan didn't listen very carefully.
So I didn’t understand it very well, and I just barely understood the general situation. It turned out that after Feng Nan broke up with them, there were disputes among the people who stayed behind. Some people saw that the soldiers at the foot of the mountain had stopped the execution, so they suggested that they go down the mountain and surrender. Others
It was suggested to escape before the patrol arrived, but the European tourists insisted on going to the city to seek help from the consulate. When the stalemate was in progress, the patrol came up, and some people tried to escape, but were killed on the spot, so the remaining people surrendered.
One thing Feng Nan guessed correctly was that the civil unrest was related to ethnic issues. The patrol dragged out prisoners of different races and executed them. Only the black woman was beautiful because of her beauty (Feng Nan admitted that she did not share their aesthetic values).
) survived, but the child was brutally thrown to death.
Although the prisoners of the same race as those soldiers survived, they were also asked to treat the remaining people with cruel methods. Some were unwilling to do so, so they were beaten or even killed. The last two had to agree to be accomplices.
The European tourist was lucky. Although he was severely beaten, the soldiers had no intention of killing him. It was probably an order from above that they could be used as hostages or exchanged for ransom. In short, they were still valuable, so their lives were saved for the time being.
This European has a good heart. Even though he was in trouble, he still tried his best to help others and protected the black woman along the way. However, this old car kept having problems and fell behind the convoy after repairing it along the way.
, finally waited for reinforcements like Feng Nan.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Hassan Frank. You can call me Frank." The European tourist finally remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he said his name and extended his hand to Feng Nan.
Feng Nan didn't shake hands with him. It wasn't because he was driving. After all, he still cares about traffic rules. He casually put a bottle of water in Frank's hand and said, "Drink some."
You need to replenish some water." The implication was that you talked too much, but Frank was so excited that he escaped death, and the two of them had a language barrier, so they didn't hear it and instead said thank you.
Then he drank more than half of the bottle in one go and asked again: "Is there anything to eat? Sharna (the black woman) and I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. These rebels don't provide us with food."
Feng Nan shook his head. Frank was obviously a little disappointed, but after drinking water, his mouth was no longer dry, so he asked again: "I don't know your name yet. You are very witty and brave. Are you Japanese? Korean?"
Taiwanese?"
Feng Nan replied quickly: "You will die if you don't ask me if I am Chinese."
"What?" Frank didn't quite understand. "Are you going to beat me to death because of this?".
Feng Nan felt that this European was just like a big boy who had not grown up. He could only shake his head helplessly, tapped his chest with his thumb and said, "Feng, you can call me Feng."
"Well, then Feng, where are we going now?" Frank asked again: "Can you send me to the consulate? When I get there, I can also help you and Sharna."
Feng Nan shook his head and said: "We can't go to the consulate. I just passed by the city and the whole city was burning."
Frank sighed and said, "Then what should we do?"
Feng Nan said: "Now I try to meet someone I know, and with luck we can get a ticket home."
"It seems your friend is a big shot." Frank said.
Feng Nan wanted to take advantage of the darkness to travel a little further, but the dawn in Africa came very early, and it was bright after more than half an hour. Feng Nan was worried that the bodies of the killed soldiers would be discovered, which would lead to
Pursuing the soldiers, I drove forward for a while facing the rising sun. I met several local militiamen on the road. I didn’t know which faction they belonged to. They opened fire without saying a word. After all, Sharna was a woman without military training.
After losing the machine gun, I lay down in the car and didn't dare to show my head. Fortunately, the car was a moving target, and the marksmanship of these militiamen was really bad, so they didn't hit it.
Frank was frightened but said with regret: "Maybe they can help us by attacking the soldiers."
Feng Nan said while continuing to drive: "They will attack anyone, maybe they are bandits who take advantage of the situation."
Frank asked: "How do you know?"
Feng Nan said: "I don't know, I know we can't take risks now."
It is not easy to survive under the gunpoint. Trusting others is often a fatal mistake. As for the enemy of the enemy, the friend is often killed.
After driving for a while, the car broke down again. Feng Nan got out of the car and opened the hood to check, and found that it was completely broken. Unless he went to an auto repair shop, it couldn't be repaired. Frank came over to take a look.
, they came to the same conclusion as Feng Nan. Now they could only walk, but at this time they had conflicts again.
Feng Nan had killed three rebels before and seized a light machine gun, two assault rifles and a pistol. Frank was unwilling to take so many iron lumps on the road. His theory was: except for Feng Nan,
Neither he nor Sharna knew how to use a gun. If they used it to defend themselves, the probability of being killed was far higher than if they surrendered immediately. In addition, these weapons were heavy, and carrying them would add extra burden, thus affecting the speed of advancement.
From a certain point of view, Frank's words are reasonable, but in this case, completely disarming is tantamount to making oneself a lamb to be slaughtered. Feng Nan is a soldier and regards guns as his second life.
, so after some debate, they all made some compromises, and Feng Nan decided to keep an assault rifle and a pistol for self-defense, while the light machine gun and another assault rifle had to be thrown away.
When Feng Nan threw the gun, he removed the gun and threw it in different places to prevent the thrown away firearm from being used by others.
Later, it turned out that their move to throw away the guns was correct, because Frank and Sharna had almost no fighting power even if they held guns.
After throwing away their firearms, everyone set out on the road lightly. Near noon, the weather got hotter, they had finished drinking the water they had brought, and they were very tired. Feng Nan also felt that the pursuers should be thrown away for a while, so he asked everyone to take a rest.
.
After choosing a sheltered campsite, Feng Nan took out the snake, which startled Frank and asked quickly: "You took it with you all the way?"
Feng Nan nodded and said, "Yes."
Frank asked again: "It...is your pet?"
Feng Nan said: "No, it's our lunch." After saying that, he cut off the snake's head and started peeling off the skin. Frank looked at the still twisting snake body and couldn't bear it, so he actually turned his head away. Feng Nan said mockingly
He said: "Don't you know Bear Grylls?" (Note: Bear: Master of wilderness survival, known as the man standing at the top of the food chain)
Frank said with disdain: "Are you talking about an Englishman? He is simply a savage." His tone was like a city man talking about a country bumpkin.
When Feng Nan didn't agree with him, she ignored him and handled the snake quickly, burying the snake's head, internal organs and skin, and then used a method called "smoldering" to light a fire and roast the snake meat.
In this way, the smoke smell is very small and difficult to detect.
Because the snake meat will take a while to be cooked, Feng Nan decided to use this opportunity to find a water source. Seeing that Feng Nan had been busy, Frank offered to go find the water source. Feng Nan said: "I don't think you have any experience.
Just stay and watch the fire. Otherwise, if you get lost, I have to find you."
At this time, Sharna understood their conversation, so she snatched the water bottle from Feng Nan's hand and said that she was looking for water. She also said a lot of words, which Feng Nan didn't understand, but Frank knew a little bit of the local language, so he
Said to Feng Nan: "She said that she is familiar with this area, because one of her relatives lives in a nearby village, only about 20 kilometers away. She also said that her relatives will warmly receive us, and we can rest if possible.
You can leave in a moment."
Feng Nan was very happy when he heard it, because it was indeed difficult to find Jin Li without supplies and guides, but he was still a little worried, so he said to Frank, "Frank, help me ask
Is her relative's village a mixed-race village or a single village?"
Frank asked Sharna and then said to Feng Nan: "It's a single village. They are all Sharna's tribe."
Feng Nan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If everything went well, he would finally be able to find a place to rest.
Frank is a naive and heartless person. He just escaped death last night, and he is not completely out of danger now. After a while, he actually fell asleep leaning against a big tree.
In fact, Feng Nan was also very tired. He had been busy since noon yesterday and only slept for an hour or two. But he had to stay alert because dying in obscurity in a foreign country was not a happy way to die.
Ah, so he had to hold the gun, lean against the tree trunk and squint his eyes for a short rest, but he was always alert and did not dare to let himself fall asleep.
Sharna went to fetch water, but she was there for nearly an hour. Feng Nan was very worried that if she met the rebels and revealed their hiding place, it would be all over. So Feng Nan shook Frank up and told him that he wanted to
He went to find Sharna, but just as he was talking, Sharna came back. Not only did he bring back the water, he actually carried an African catfish that was about a foot long. Frank didn't want to eat snakes in the first place, but now he saw it
With the fish, I was naturally overjoyed. I happily hugged Sharna and kissed her hard. As expected of a European, the taste is strong.
Sharna borrowed Feng Nan's knife to clean up the catfish. Her quick movements put Feng Nan to shame. After all, she was a local. Even if people living in the civilized world are trained, they are not as good as the indigenous people in some aspects.
Fish is an easy-to-cook food, so it didn’t take long for everyone to smell the aroma of fish. However, Frank ate the most, and Feng Nan only took a few small bites. Sharna gave it to her, and he mainly ate it.
Dealing with the snake, because Frank didn't want to touch the snake meat at all, and Sharna seemed to have taboos about it, so Feng Nan secretly complained about the snake. If Sharna had said earlier that she could catch catfish
