The afternoon sun was warm and bright, and the barren hills stretched to the horizon, as if they would never end.
A battery car was driving in a canyon surrounded by mountains, bumping and bumping on the bumpy mountain road at a very slow speed.
Originally, with the super off-road performance of the Tiandao battery car, it could reach a speed of seventy or eighty yards even when driving next door in a roadless wilderness. However, Ning Tao had to consider the feelings of the passengers, especially Comrade Jiang Hao. During the half-day ride, Jiang Hao pinched him several times...
A pass appeared at the end of the line of sight.
There is a cliff on one side of the pass, and there is a river below, but I can only see the river bed but no water flowing. There is a mountain road on the cliff. The mountain road is rugged and winding with no end in sight. On one side of the mountain road is a sharp cliff, and the hanging rocks create a dangerous atmosphere, giving people the feeling that they will collapse at any time and smash people into pieces.
"Doctor Ning, Mrs. Ning, a few kilometers ahead is the Yinma Valley settlement." Zaina raised her finger and pointed in the direction of the pass in front of her and said: "I heard my brother say that there seem to be thousands of shelters living there. Civilians in war-torn areas need help.”
Ning Tao nodded and asked, "Mrs. Kang, is the Yinma River you are talking about the river below?"
"Yes, there is the Yinma River below... But why is there no water?" Zaina looked surprised when she looked over and saw the dry river bed.
Ning Tao originally wanted to ask her why the river was out of water, but it seemed that she didn't know either, so there was no need for him to ask again.
Jiang Hao, who was sitting on Ning Tao's lap, suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky, and her eyes instantly turned cold.
The Global Hawk appeared again, maintaining a high flying altitude. Along the way, it was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing sometimes.
"It really lingers." Jiang Hao's voice was cold.
Ning Tao stopped the car and looked up at the Global Hawk passing by in the sky. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Knowing that we are here, American ground troops may be dispatched."
Jiang Hao said coldly: "Come and kill one, come two and I will kill both!"
Was Diao Chan himself so decisive in killing in ancient times
This is really something that no one can explain clearly.
Jiang Hao's Diao Chan face suddenly aroused something on Ning Tao's mind. The spiritual materials for refining the complete version of the Xunzu Pill have been delayed for a long time. Now that the matter is over, he really has to go to the Black Fire Company to "visit" , borrow some spiritual materials.
The Global Hawk flew across the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ning Tao turned the switch, and the Tiandao battery car continued to drive towards Yinma Valley.
Duoduoduo…
Miss Diao Chan originally had a frosty look on her face and a pair of red-phoenix eyes full of murderous intent, but within a few seconds the frosty and murderous intent disappeared, her lips were slightly opened and her teeth were biting lightly. Although the look in his eyes still looked like he wanted to kill someone, the killing method was different.
There was a man who was not feeling well either and kept mumbling something.
I was breathing in the womb and heard the sound of the Great Way.
when…
Dangdangdang...
Several kilometers of rugged mountain roads were left behind, and Yinma Valley came into the sight of Ning Tao and Jiang Hao.
In the basin surrounded by mountains, a group of temporary shacks were built on both sides of the dry river bed, but there were not many of them, and they could not accommodate the thousands of refugees Zaina mentioned. More refugees live in rock crevices and natural caves. Some refugees who had no place to stay and lacked materials simply built a circle with stones and covered it with branches, weeds and other things to call it their home.
This is the Yinma Valley refugee settlement.
The source of the Yinma River is a cliff, but unfortunately there is only a pitifully small flow of water left. The cliff that was supposed to be a waterfall reveals a gray-black rock wall. There are still traces of moisture on the rock wall, and the flow has obviously not stopped for long.
A large number of refugees gathered under the rock wall, and everyone was holding containers such as plastic basins and aluminum pots waiting to be filled with water. But with that flow of water, which is smaller than the flow of water from a tap, when will it be possible to fill hundreds or even thousands of water vessels
Zaina jumped out of the car and looked at the refugees crowding to grab water. She looked surprised and confused: "The Yinma River has not stopped flowing for thousands of years. Why did it stop flowing?"
Ning Tao was also thinking about this issue.
Just now, when the Global Hawk appeared again, his idea of entering Yinma Valley to help Kang Junzi do good deeds was actually a little wavering. After the stronghold of the Ace Front was taken away, the Global Hawk lingered. He had a hunch that the ground forces of the Lighthouse Country would probably track them based on the intelligence provided by the Global Hawk, and even had already On the way here.
He is fearless and has enough ability to protect Kang Junzi and Zaina. However, if the lighthouse country's ground troops are led to refugee settlements, refugee casualties will inevitably occur if a battle breaks out. In this way, a good thing turns into a bad thing.
However, when he saw that the river was drying up, he changed his mind. A very important reason for those refugees to escape the war is that there is a water source here. If someone artificially cuts off the water flow, even if he does not go in, the situation of thousands of refugees living in Yinma Valley will be very dangerous.
So, despite hesitation, he came anyway.
At this moment, seeing the bare cliff where there should be a waterfall, he couldn't help but wonder: "Is it true that someone deliberately cut off the water flow?"
"Doctor Ning, let's go over and take a look." Zaina withdrew her gaze and looked at Ning Tao and said.
Ning Tao nodded and pushed the Tiandao battery car towards the refugee settlement.
Jiang Hao put away her sun-hunting gun and walked side by side to the refugee settlement with Ning Tao.
Crossing a simple stone bridge that had existed for hundreds of years, Ning Tao saw a white tent in the middle of the settlement with a red cross mark on the tent's curtain. There was a group of people gathered there, and a white man wearing outdoor sportswear was speaking loudly. The man spoke Arabic in a loud voice that could be heard from a distance, giving people the impression of being fluent, but he was obviously not an Arab.
Ning Tao was about to ask Zaina what that person was talking about, when a dozen people suddenly poured out from the settlement, holding dilapidated AK rifles in their hands and yelling at them, looking very ferocious.
Zaina raised her hands and walked up, saying something as she walked.
Ning Tao asked Kang Junzi: "Mr. Kang, can you understand what your wife is saying?"
Kang Junzi nodded: "My wife and I come here often and we know a little Arabic. Do you want me to translate it for you?"
Ning Tao nodded.
Kang Junzi said: "My wife is identifying herself to them. Those armed men are the defenders of the settlement. They seem to belong to some tribe. They are asking my wife, who are we and what are we doing here..."
Ning Tao's eyes moved to the white man who was "speaking", and then interrupted Kang Junzi's translation: "Mr. Kang, can you hear clearly what the white man is saying?"
The communication here is meaningless, and Kang Junzi's translation also loses its meaning.
Kang Junzi glanced up at the white man, listened carefully, and said intermittently: "There is no way out by hiding here... Your suffering today is caused by the Syrian authorities... They are greedy and corrupt... Freedom is calling you... It has never been A bloodless revolution... You must take up arms and become freedom fighters... "
Ning Tao's brows slowly wrinkled. When he first listened to Kang Junzi's translation, he thought that the man was a caring and just person. He hated the war situation in front of him and sprayed the sky and the ground, but he didn't expect that he was a caring and just person. A lobbyist who deceives people into committing suicide.
At this time, Zaina walked over, followed by an Arab man in his early fifties. Wearing a camouflage uniform, I don't know if it was pulled from the corpse. There were several burnt bullet holes on the body, and there were still blood stains on it, making it look dirty.
Zaina said: "Dr. Ning, let me introduce to you. This is Chief Asadin. He is the leader of the Camel Tribe. Those with guns are tribal warriors of the Camel Tribe. There are many refugees here. He is from the Camel tribe. The war destroyed their territory and the Ace Front cut off the connection between him and the tribe, so I stayed here temporarily. I told him my identity and your identity. He listened. They were very happy to say that you were Chinese who came to help them.”
After Zaina finished speaking, Ning Tao took the initiative to extend his hand to shake Asadin's hand and said politely: "Nice to meet you, Chief Asadin."
Asadin stretched out his hands to hold Ning Tao's hand and said a few words with a smile.
Because of the language barrier, Zaina acted as a translator: "Dr. Ning, Chief Asadin said that he likes China very much. It is a very great country. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely visit China. He also said , the Chinese come to help this country without conditions, let alone conspiracy and purpose, which is good.”
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Tell the chief that if he comes to China as a guest, I will be his tour guide and take him to see our Great Wall and Imperial City."
Zaina translated Ning Tao's words to Chief Asadin, and the enthusiastic chief simply gave Ning Tao a hug.
After chatting for a while, Chief Asadin led Ning Tao and the four of them into the refugee settlement, chatting with Ning Tao as they walked. Although there is a language barrier, with Zaina, a translator who is proficient in Chinese, there is no obstacle.
The sight of the white man standing in front of the white tent giving a speech fell on Ning Tao, and his eyes seemed to "light up" at that moment. Then he glanced at Jiang Hao, Zaina and Kang Junzi again, then looked away and continued his speech.
Ning Tao's gaze fell on the white man, awakening the gaze state of his eyes, and he looked away after just one glance. But just at this glance, his pupils darkened quietly, but only fleetingly.
