In the afternoon, the desert heat wave was rolling, and every grain of sand was baked by the sun. It was very painful to walk on it. Jack, wearing short sleeves, felt that his hands were about to peel off.
The three women following him, Ada, Elsa, and Taozi, also wore headscarves to block the direct sunlight.
Gulu!
After drinking the last sip of water in her skin, it still couldn't relieve Ada's thirst for water.
After climbing another hill, she couldn't help but ask: "Taozi, why haven't you reached the tribe you mentioned yet? Are you going in the wrong direction?"
"No, I've been there many times." Taozi once exchanged supplies for many handicrafts in the tribe near the Bujilaoqi base, and the direction will never be wrong.
It was difficult to walk this time, mainly because the supplies at the campsite were taken away by someone.
They only found a skin bag and only half a bag of water. Even if they drank less, it was far from enough to meet the needs of an adult.
"How long will we have to go?"
"About three or four hours."
Taozi said a desperate number.
By now, I was already very hungry and thirsty. It would be difficult to endure thirty or forty minutes, let alone three or four hours.
"Stop saying a few words and keep walking!"
Jack knew very well that chatting in the desert in the sweltering heat was also a waste of energy.
They must save their energy now and rush to the tribe near the base as soon as possible. Since there are people living there, it means that they can find water sources and solve the water problem.
However, plans can never keep up with changes.
No, as soon as the group of people passed a hill, a bullet passed in front of Jack, scaring him so much that he almost flew out of his mind.
"Hahaha~~" Two members of an organization who had dealt with Jack and the others before said excitedly: "Thank God for sending you back to us! If you want to live, you must take us to the Bugiloq base. Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk.”
"..."
Jack, Ada and others looked ashen.
I was already thirsty and tired, but now I was caught by two lunatics.
There is absolutely no way to survive!
However, life had to go on. Jack was strong and strong, so he was forced to act as the horse boy leading the camel, while Ada and the three girls were hanging behind a few people, walking feebly.
I don’t know how long it took.
Suddenly a parasol appeared in front of him, with tables and chairs placed under the umbrella. A handsome man in white clothes with a long straw in his mouth was reading a book and sucking watermelon juice from the table.
In the scorching desert, there is such a leisurely person, looking like he is on vacation at the beach.
This scene really shocked Jack and his group.
"Mr. Cheng?"
Ada, who had sharp eyes, recognized the man lying on the beach chair at a glance. It was Cheng Long who saved her from the sea of misery last night, so she ran over excitedly.
Elsa and Peach followed closely behind.
They are not excited to see men, but because there are a lot of fruits on the table.
Watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, peaches, apples, you name it.
There are even ice-cold drinks that bubble with condensation.
"You guys are a little late! I've been waiting here for an hour." Looking at Ada who ran to him first, Cheng Long picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it over, "Eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst!"
"Thank you, thank you..."
At this moment, Ada had no concern for her image. She took a large piece of watermelon from Cheng Long and started to eat it.
That naive look is very much like Bajie who steals melons and eats them.
"Mr. Cheng, can you..."
"Sir~~"
Before Elsa and Taozi could finish speaking, Cheng Long waved his hand and interrupted: "Eat whatever you want, it's all prepared for you."
"Shut up!"
Bang!
Accompanied by the shouts, a bullet landed steadily at Cheng Long's feet, frightening the two women, Taozi and Elsa, to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, two members from an organization quickly came under the umbrella and said: "Boy, you are unlucky to meet us. These things belong to me."
Cheng Long chuckled and said, "Have you finished eating?"
One of them said disapprovingly: "If you can't finish it, you can save it for tomorrow. The fruits and water in the desert are more precious than gold."
Another person retorted on the spot: "No, this is other people's stuff. We can buy it, but we can't rob it, otherwise we will be regarded as terrorists by others."
"We are almost dying of thirst, but we can still care about this!"
"That's not okay. Don't forget that the purpose of our organization is to restore the country, not to burn, kill, and loot!"
"..."
Before Cheng Long could say anything, members of the two organizations started to quarrel.
What a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes!
Jack, Elsa and Taozi, who were extremely hungry and thirsty, took the opportunity to join the melon-eating team. Each of them held a piece of watermelon and ate it without listening to what was happening outside the window, frantically replenishing water and sugar.
It looked like he was really thirsty.
As for the two members of an organization who had a quarrel, they finally reached an agreement after several minutes of arguing.
Spend money on fruits and drinks on the table.
"There's no need to buy it. You just need to put down your gun and you can eat as much as you like."
Cheng Long had no ill intentions toward the two members of the Restoration Jihad organization in front of him. Instead, he sympathized with each other's experiences because they were both miserable people whose homes had been robbed by a certain ethnic group. The land they lived in was shrinking year by year. Even the holy city of Jerusalem was destroyed. One and a half...
"Put down the gun? Impossible, don't even think about it. They are my prisoners, and we still need them to lead the way!" the member of the Fuguo who had a bad temper said fiercely.
"Really?"
The corner of Cheng Long's mouth raised slightly, and his consciousness quietly emerged. The eyes of the soldier holding the gun suddenly became confused, and then he threw away the Glock in his hand with an 'ah' sound.
"Why did you throw the gun away?" another person asked doubtfully.
"Snake, snake, it wants to bite me..." The man who threw the gun looked frightened. In his eyes, the gun on the ground was one of the most venomous snakes in the world.
If you are bitten by a rattlesnake, you will definitely die.
In the desert, they had no chance of rushing to the hospital in time to inject antivenom.
"You're so funny. It's obviously a gun. When did it turn into a rattlesnake?"
"Nonsense, it's obviously a snake. Do you want to trick me into being bitten?"
"That's a gun!"
"That's a snake!"
The two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks quarreled again.
Jack took the opportunity to pick up the Glock on the ground, quickly pointed the gun at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two, if you don't want to die, take two bottles of water and two apples, get on the camel and leave here, otherwise I won't Do you mind opening a few bloody holes in your body?”
"..."
As the offensive and defensive positions changed, the two restoration warriors looked at each other and decisively chose to avoid them.
These two are funny characters in the movie, the kind who serve as jokes. However, in reality, they are indeed poor people worthy of sympathy. Although Jack, Ada and others were captured, they did not blame each other, even when they When leaving, I gave them some more fruits. "Mr. Cheng, why did you appear in this deserted desert?"
After eating three large pieces of watermelon in a row, Ada successfully relieved her hunger and thirst, grabbed a glass of cold drink, took a sip, and said curiously.
"Do you believe me when I say I'm going on vacation?"
"..."
Ada twitched the corners of her mouth.
He looked at Cheng Long as if he were a fool.
"Actually, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
"Goodbye?"
Jack's face was filled with joy. If Cheng Long doesn't leave, the chance of him hooking up with Ada and the others is almost zero. Now that his powerful enemy is leaving on his own initiative, doesn't it mean that Ada, Taozi and Elsa will soon be killed by him? The charming big nose has fallen?
"That's right, after all we have met once and we always have to say something before leaving."
Cheng Long had already taken away 240 tons of gold when he went to stay at the hotel to watch the excitement. Naturally, there was no need to make another trip. However, Jack and the others came to find the gold with a purpose. They would not go to the base for a walk. Will give up.
Therefore, before leaving, he brought some supplies to Ada and others.
Although these people are the protagonists in the movie, even if they don't have the supplies they prepared, they won't die of thirst, but they have suffered a lot.
"Mr. Cheng, how are you going to leave?" Ada said with a look of reluctance.
"You'll know in a minute." Cheng Long let it slip.
"Mr. Cheng, can I find you later?"
Elsa, who is tall and tall, also has a special affection for Cheng Long, the man who saved her. If possible, she really wants to escape from this desert world with him.
Unfortunately, my grandfather’s body has not yet been recovered, so I had to bear the pain and say goodbye.
"Of course, there is my personal phone number on the business card. Call me before you come and I will arrange food and accommodation for you..." Cheng Long said goodbye to the two women and turned to look at Jack. The two men looked at each other, as if there were many There seems to be nothing to say.
In the end, Cheng Long could only ignore Jack and said to the slender and cute Taozi: "Taozi, you are walking outside all year round and you are prone to encounter criminals. Before leaving, I will give you an amulet that can protect you three times."< br>
"Mr. Cheng, I also want to..."
Ada didn't know what was going on. When she saw Cheng Long taking out an amulet and giving it to Tao Zi, she felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was because others had it but she didn't.
"Okay, I'll give you one too."
Cheng Long took out an amulet again and handed it to Ada who was blushing.
I already have Ada and Taozi, and Elsa is naturally indispensable, so I might as well give them both.
Next, Jack took the three women into the Boogie Laochi base. It was indeed quite dangerous. Bullets don't have eyes, and they might be hit by a bullet.
"Girls, I'm leaving."
He waved his hand.
Cheng Long's figure gradually turned into an illusion and disappeared from the place in an extremely strange way.
Seeing this magical scene in broad daylight, not to mention the three women Ada and Jack, a grown man, were so shocked that they rubbed their eyes vigorously, feeling like they had seen a ghost.
“Dong dong~~”
He knocked on the table and found that it had texture and was a real object. The fruits and water on it were also real, but how could Cheng Long, a living person, suddenly disappear?
For a moment, Jack couldn't think of riding his sister!
"Ada, is Mr. Cheng a god?"
Taozi, who had been pursuing the 'meaning of life', when he came to his senses, his eyes quickly shone brightly, as if he had found his lifelong pursuit.
"Yes, he is a god."
Thinking that Cheng Long was like a god coming down to earth to save herself and Elsa from the sea of suffering last night, Ada's heart beat wildly with excitement.
At this moment, no matter what gold or count, they no longer matter.
Elsa only felt that she had met God.
Jack wanted to slap himself a few times. He clearly had the opportunity to marry Cheng Long, but due to personal reasons, he chose to be wary and distant.
In the end, I didn’t even get a business card!
……
Calinan.
In the small courtyard of the Cheng family, which covers an area of more than one hundred acres.
A golden mountain made of gold bars shone brightly under the light, almost blinding Ruan Wenfeng, Ruan Wenhu, and Ruan Wenbao.
Although the Ruan family has money, their children and grandchildren will not be able to spend it all in dozens of lifetimes.
But their family's money is limited after all. If converted into gold bars, it may be less than one-fifth of what they have in front of them.
Anyone who sees such a huge fortune will get excited and their heart will beat wildly.
"Wenfeng, at first I planned to hand over this gold to you, but then I thought it was not safe to deposit it in the Calinan National Bank, so I wanted to open a private bank in your name, called Canaan Business. Bank..."
The main reason why Cheng Long changed his mind was to let Wenfeng control Kalinan from both political and business perspectives, so that while the country could move towards the path of reform and development, it would become a country inseparable from Ruan Wenfeng and the Ruan family.
Only in this way can Nguyen Van Phuong be promoted to the throne of queen instead of the throne of president, who currently has a term of only five years.
This matter must not only be fast, but also concealed enough.
"No problem, I will arrange for someone to organize it tomorrow."
Ruan Wenfeng didn't care how scary men would become after Cheng Long controlled both political and business circles in Kalinan, because she believed that Cheng Long, with his master's devilish methods, didn't need to do anything unnecessary if he wanted to harm others.
If they went on a mass killing spree, tens of millions of people in Kalinan would die overnight.
Wherever he goes, everything in Kalinan doesn't belong to him?
After the matter is over.
Ruan Wenhu and Ruan Wenbao immediately arranged manpower to transport 240 tons of gold.
That night, Ruan Wenfeng wore the presidential attire he wore when he took office and sat delicately on the edge of the bed. "Brother Long, I only have one set of these clothes. You can be more polite later."
"Hey~~"
Cheng Long, who had just come out of the bathroom, sat down next to Ruan Wenfeng, then eagerly reached out and unbuttoned her...
at the same time.
After going through all kinds of hardships, Jack and his team had just accidentally found the Bugilochi base. Under the pressure of Adolf and his team, they took the risk and opened the gate of the base. What they saw were boxes of empty boxes, inside and outside the base, and even a gold bar. None of them could be found. If the weapons and ammunition from World War II were not still there, Adolf would have suspected that he had entered the wrong base.
It was obviously the base he participated in building when he was young, and it was obviously the gold they transported in, but now it disappeared without any reason.
This made him suspect that someone entered the base first and stole the 240 tons of gold inside.
The same is true for Jack, Ada and others.
Without the gold, the two groups lost the meaning of fighting. After searching several times inside and outside, both sides confirmed that the gold had been intercepted in advance, and finally had to leave the base with doubts.
Only Adolf was disheartened and decided to activate the self-destruction device and bury his colleagues in the base here.
On the way back.
Jack suddenly approached Ada and whispered: "Ada, I suspect that the gold is at Mr. Cheng's place..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Cheng's cutting-edge technology is making money every day, so why come here to steal gold?" Ada actually also suspected that Cheng Long was a beard cutter, but she didn't want to be blamed for her irresponsibility. Guessing and causing trouble to Mr. Cheng.
Even if the gold is taken away by Mr. Cheng, it is still his fault. (End of chapter)
