Chapter 24 Something Big Has Happened

It was early in the morning when we arrived in Benghazi. After Gao Yang got off the plane, he felt a little chill on his body and couldn't help shivering.

The temperature in Benghazi in January is also in the 10s, but in the early morning, it is around 10 degrees. He is used to high temperatures on the Sudanese grasslands, and the temperature of 10 degrees is a bit too low for him.

After staying in a real hotel with Morgan, Gao Yang could finally lie on a real bed and have a good sleep, but Gao Yang didn't sleep for too long. At noon, he was invited by Bob to Morgan in the room.

When he saw Morgan, Gao Yang felt that Morgan didn't look like a person who was nearly sixty years old. Morgan, like him, experienced a highly tense escape, and then took a long flight together to get here, but Gao Yang was still depressed at this time, but Morgan was full of energy.

Gao Yang sat opposite Morgan, and after Gao Yang sat down, Morgan took out a stack of banknotes, put them on the table, pushed them in front of Gao Yang, and said with a smile: "This is six thousand dollars, and I still owe you nine dollars." Wansi, sorry, I don't have much cash on me, and obviously you can't accept checks and transfers, but please don't worry, after you return to your country, just give me a call, and I will transfer the rest of the money to you account, I will pay the handling fee."

Looking at the stack of banknotes on the table, Gao Yang was a little dazed. He looked at Morgan and said, "Mr. Morgan, I don't understand what you mean."

Morgan spread his hand and said: "I said, as long as you send me to Malakal, I will pay you one hundred thousand dollars. I am a man of my word, and you have done it, so now I will fulfill my promise." when."

It was only then that Gao Yang remembered that Morgan did say such a thing at the time, but he didn't take Morgan's words seriously at all at the time, but he didn't expect that Morgan would really fulfill his promise.

Gao Yang thought for a while, put the banknotes on the table into his pocket, and said sincerely: "This is enough, Mr. Morgan, I don't intend to ask for your money, well, I really need money now , so I accept these, but the rest is free, I didn't do anything, if it weren't for you, Professor Barker and I wouldn't be able to reach Malakal, and you also took me out of Sudan, so, I think we That’s how it’s evened out.”

Morgan shook his head and said, "I like your attitude towards money, Gao, but I don't like your attitude towards business. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. I offered to hire you, but you didn't object, and finally escorted me to the Malakal, in this way, our business has been completed, so it is only natural for me to pay, we must have the spirit of contract, and maybe you think saving a stranger from a group of people at gunpoint is not counted What, but to me, Bob and I were saved by you. From a point of view, $100,000 seems to be a little less, but still the same sentence, friendship is friendship, business is business, you take the money, Then I owe you another favor."

Hearing Morgan's words, Gao Yang nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Morgan, I can only thank you for your generosity."

Morgan waved his hand, laughed and said, "Okay, young man, Benghazi is not a big city, nor is it a fancy world, but for a person who has been on the grassland for three years, you must want to go out for a while." Turn, let's go, go shopping for some clothes, and then find some fun and entertainment, the most important thing is to find a good restaurant to eat, I think you must be hungry and crazy? It's a pity, I really want to treat you to return to civilization The world's first meal, but alas, I have to get out now."

When Morgan was talking, Bob winked and said, "Hey, brother, now you have a lot of money, don't you want to invite me to have fun?"

Gao Yang smiled,

After standing up and shaking hands with Morgan, he turned to Bob and said, "Let's go, whatever you want to do, I'll treat you."

The hotel lobby provides currency exchange services. After exchanging US dollars for some dinars, Gao Yang and Bob walked out of the hotel and strolled in the downtown area of ​​Benghazi. Gao Yang couldn't help but sigh: "I always thought that I would never come back."

Bob shrugged and said: "Don't think too much, what you should do now is to celebrate, but first change your clothes and shoes, you look funny now."

Gao Yang also felt a little cold. He agreed with Bob's words. He found a random shopping mall and bought a whole set of clothes. However, Gao Yang didn't buy new shoes. Instead, he bought jeans to match the clothes with boots.

After a new look, Gao Yang and Bob began to discuss where to go. They both agreed that they should go to eat and have a drink, but it was a bit difficult to find out where to go.

Looking at the shops and restaurants lined up on the street, the two of them didn't know where to go. At this moment, Bob said, "I have a very good suggestion. How about we eat Chinese cuisine?"

"Very good, but is there a Huaxia Hotel there? We have traveled all the way, but we haven't seen it."

Bob looked around, then looked at his watch, and said, "This is the first time I've been abroad. I want to walk around. It's still early. Why don't we search while we're walking?"

Gao Yang didn't have any objections, so he and Bob walked casually together, and slowly they came to a small street where pedestrians became very sparse. Looking at the empty street, Gao Yang suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, Bob, your dad said that the situation in Libya is not stable right now, let's not go too far."

Bob said nonchalantly: "You saw it just now. It doesn't look like it's unstable here. Would you go to the mall when there's going to be a war? Looking at the people in the mall, I know there's nothing wrong."

As soon as Bob's words fell, a large crowd of people suddenly poured out on the empty street, and countless people gathered on the street from the alleys and houses facing the street, and then held up flags, Shouting slogans loudly, looking very angry, they headed in the same direction.

Gao Yang and Bob were stunned, and then they both said "Fuck" in unison.

"I take back what I just said, something serious happened here, we have to leave quickly."

Gao Yang pulled Bob back a few steps, and whispered: "Be quiet, wait for them to pass, and then we will go in the opposite direction. You don't want to go to a place where they meet, do you? Go to a place where there are few people , let’s hurry back to the hotel.”

Bob nodded, and said in a low voice, "It's bad luck, I have to wait for them to pass us before leaving."

Gao Yang and Bob didn't move, they just stood by the wall, motionless under the gaze of countless people. Gao Yang was afraid that he would be attacked by those obviously angry guys because he was a foreigner. Is it better, but Bob's blond hair is so eye-catching, he looks like a Westerner.

Fortunately, Gao Yang and the others were just attracting attention, but no one came forward to say anything or do anything. Finally, after the street became empty again, Gao Yang wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Hurry up, hurry up."

He and Bob ran in the opposite direction to the crowd for a long time. Gao Yang and the others encountered crowds gathering four times along the way. Fortunately, they all missed the crowd without any risk, but Gao Yang was depressed. What's more, these gathered crowds seem to be going in different directions, so Gao Yang doesn't know where to go to be safe.

The most terrible thing is that Gao Yang and the two of them lost their way. They walked back and forth in the streets and alleys of Benghazi. Cars are also impossible.

Meeting a team of about a hundred people again, Gao Yang pulled Bob's clothes and said softly, "Follow them, or we won't be able to go out for a day."

Although Gao Yang's proposal was considered risky, Bob had no other choice, so Gao Yang and Bob followed those people far away, wanting to go back to the main street.

Gao Yang soon found out that his proposal was not very clever. The team they were following was getting bigger and bigger. Gao Yang looked behind him and was even more shocked. More people rushed out from behind him. Now Gao Yang and them Be part of a large crowd.

Gao Yang tugged at Bob's sleeve and pouted, the two of them slowly approached the edge of the crowd, and when they reached the edge of the crowd, they walked out of the maze-like alley, and a road appeared in front of them. The wide road is just full of angry crowds.

Back on the main road, Gao Yang pulled Bob, and then the two began to trot. At this time, they didn't care about the north, south, east and west, they just wanted to get away from the angry crowd as soon as possible.

Gao Yang and Bob tried not to attract the attention of others, and walked cautiously close to the side of the road. After walking for a long distance, they saw that they had reached the periphery of the crowd and were about to leave. Bob suddenly pulled Gao Yang, and then stood in place.

"What's the matter, don't hurry up."

When Gao Yang asked anxiously, he saw that Bob's face was pale, he pulled Gao Yang hard, and then said in a low voice, "Look behind you, there is a Huaxia Hotel over there."

Gao Yang was angry and impatient, and said in a low voice: "You don't think about eating now, do you?"

"Beside the gate of the hotel, two people took out their guns, what should we do?"

Gao Yang turned around slowly, followed Bob's gaze, and saw a Chinese-style door with a lantern hanging on it. There were beautifully pruned shrubs, just like the ones that are common in China. The evergreen, but now behind the bushes, with the flickering of the figure, two black muzzles slowly stretched out.
