Chapter 913 Set
When it got twilight, the convoy was back on the road. After Ramadi, there was a desert all the way to the west.
Gao Yang could have chosen to have a good rest here in Masum during the day and wait until night before setting off, but Gao Yang had to leave during the day.
It is the hottest summer, and the temperature in the desert can easily soar to over 40 degrees soon after the sun comes out. By noon, the temperature is as high as around 50 degrees, and the road temperature is as high as 70 or 80 degrees.
Sitting in the air-conditioned car, Gao Yang didn't feel too uncomfortable, and he wasn't worried that the car's tires would not be able to withstand the high temperature on the road. The car that Porovich carefully prepared would not break down so easily.
I haven’t stopped since I started in the early morning, but the speed is fast and slow. Without the maintenance of the road, I often need to go down to the desert next to it for a while, or have to drive at a very slow speed, so by noon , Gao Yang and the others had just walked more than 200 kilometers.
Gao Yang picked up a can of Coke from beside him. There was air conditioning in the car, the temperature was always pleasant, and the ice used to cool the Coke had not yet melted.
After opening the Coke and handing it to Irene who was driving, Gao Yang looked at his watch and said, "We'll walk for another two hours, and then someone else will drive."
Eileen took the Coke and took a sip. After breathing a sigh of relief, she smiled at Gao Yang and said, "Boss, you are so bad."
Gao Yang picked up a can of Coke and said with a smile, "Why am I broken?"
"The cabin of that truck had no air conditioning and was full of the smell of diesel. Four people were crowded together and there was no ventilation. I wouldn't be surprised if someone was suffocated to death after the truck stopped."
Gao Yang smiled slightly and said: "I asked Mulafa, and he said there was no problem. You have heard it. Besides, if you don't intend to drive them out of the carriage, why bother rushing in broad daylight."
Erin finished drinking the Coke, opened the car window, and threw the empty can out in a very poor manner. The hot air that poured in from the car window made her break into a thin layer of sweat.
After closing the car window. Erin laughed: "Now I have no doubt that someone is going to die from the heat."
Gao Yang didn't care about the life or death of the people in the truck. He just wanted to find out what the cargo was. If there is no problem with the goods, then he can complete the task well. If there is a problem with the goods, the people on the truck will be his enemies.
Attacks are almost impossible in the desert. There was not much chance of meeting anyone, so there was no need to worry too much. Gao Yang found a more comfortable position and leaned on the seat, then smiled and said: "We will stop the car in two hours. Let's change people and take a look at the truck." Whether people are still alive or not.
"
Gao Yang squinted for a while. When the car stopped, he woke up and saw that the off-road vehicle had stopped. Said on the intercom: "I think it's time for us to welcome the guests, let's get ready."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang grabbed the walkie-talkie. He said in a deep voice: "Mulafa, get out of the car, check the tires, and go to the toilet by the way."
Gao Yang got out of the car, and after pretending to look at the four tires, he went straight to the roadside and peed. Then he saw Mulafa and the person in the passenger seat checking the truck tires one by one.
It only took a moment to get out of the car. Gao Yang was sweating all over. He was wearing a helmet and a body armor. If he stayed in the sun for a while, he was worried that he would be heated to death.
Gao Yang walked towards Mulafa and said, "Is there any problem?"
Mulafa shook his head and said, "No problem."
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not asking about tires, I'm asking about people. Man, aren't you worried about those people behind you?"
After Mulafa muttered a few times, he shook his head and said: "There is no way, they can't leave the goods for even half a step. This is a death order."
Gao Yang shrugged and said: "Including being muffled to death in that carriage? Man, I think you should take a look at them. Of course, if you refuse, we can continue setting off until it's time to rest at night."
After Moulafa wiped his sweat, he finally said: "Okay, I have to go see them."
Mulafa walked to the back of the car, knocked on the door, and shouted, the door opened immediately from the inside.
When the car door was pushed outward, a figure fell down. With quick eyesight and quick hands, Mulla hugged the figure who fell outward to prevent him from falling headfirst to the ground.
Gao Yang took a look and saw which white man the person who fell out was. The remaining three people in the car looked like they were fished out of the water. They were covered in sweat and were showing signs of malaise or depression. As for the one who fell out, it was already long ago. fainted.
Gao Yang immediately shouted: "Military doctor! Come here, someone has heatstroke."
Bruce ran over quickly. At this time, Gao Yang waved to the three people in the car and said loudly: "Come on down and cool down for a while. Do you want to be heated to death?"
Mulafa hesitated for a moment, but still started to say a few words to the three people in the car. After that, the three people jumped out of the car one after another with expressions of relief.
At this time, Bruce and Cuibo had already ran over. Gao Yang pointed to the car he was sitting in and said loudly: "Go and cool down in the car for a while. Go! From now on, unless you are traveling at night, you are not allowed to stay in the car."
Mu Lafa hesitated to speak, Gao Yang looked at him and said: "What, do you have any different opinions? If you do, I actually don't mind, although I don't want to see them being muffled to death in the carriage. "
Mulafa finally said a few words helplessly to the three people who could barely stand, and then said to Gao Yang: "Okay, let them make your car."
Gao Yang immediately said loudly: "Take them to a car with free seats to rest."
Cui Bo immediately stepped forward, supported an elderly Pakistani, and walked towards the pickup truck pulling the mortar behind him. Gao Yang waved to the remaining two people, indicating that one of them would follow him. It seemed that It looked like a young man from Pakistan followed him to the car.
Mulafa suddenly said: "We can still have two people in our car, so they can stay in our car."
Bruce gave the white man who had fainted from heat stroke an injection and fed him something. Li Jinfang, Mulafa and Bruce carried the white man who had had heat stroke into the truck.
There was a place at the back of the truck where people could lie down and sleep. After the white man who was suffering from heat stroke was put in the back, Li Jinfang and Bruce each returned to their own cars.
The convoy started again, this time Gao Yang was driving, and there was an extra person in the passenger seat of his car.
Gao Yang made a gesture and smiled at Eileen behind him: "Bring our guest a drink, he needs this."
Erin opened the foam box, took out a can of Coke from a box full of ice cubes, and handed it to the person in the back seat.
Gao Yang smiled at the man and said, "Drink, it will make you feel better."
After taking the coke, he drank it in one gulp, and then the man nodded to Gao Yang.
Gao Yang thought that his passenger was Pakistani, but this was just a guess. Although the languages spoken in Pakistan were mainly English and Urdu, he was worried that his guest would not understand English, so he smiled and said: "Help I translated and told him that there is plenty of Coke and he can drink it as he wants."
Irene can speak Arabic, and Mullafa spoke in Arabic when talking to these people, so Gao Yang felt that the people next to him might be able to understand, but if that person could only speak Urdu , then he would be completely out of ideas.
But just as Irene spoke, the person sitting next to Gao Yang suddenly said: "I can speak English."
Gao Yang was overjoyed.
"Oh, you can speak English. That's great, my friend. It's been a boring journey. What do you want? Drinks, food, what do you need?"
The man looked back, pointed to the foam box and said, "If you can, please give me some ice cubes!"
The man seemed a little disgusted with Irene. He refused the ice cubes that Irene handed over, but he straightened up, grabbed some ice cubes from the foam box with his hands, and then put them in his mouth to chew.
After watching the passengers beside him finish the ice cubes, Gao Yang smiled and said: "Hi, nice to meet you. My name is John Lee. What's yours?"
"Asif Zardari."
Gao Yang probably knew something, and he smiled and said, "Do you want to eat something?"
Asif said coldly: "No need."
The attitude was bad and a bit difficult to deal with, but this was expected by Gao Yang. It was not easy to ask questions out of these people's mouths.
It can be seen that Asif seems to be uncomfortable with Irene's existence, which makes Gao Yang regretful. He made a mistake and should have let Irene sit in another car.
Gao Yang said with a smile: "Are you from Pakistan? I have a good friend from Pakistan who is from Punjab. How about you?"
Asif just said calmly: "I am also a Pakistani. I am tired and I want to take a nap."
Gao Yang tried his best to strike up a conversation with Asif, but Asif obviously had no intention of chatting. After saying a few words lightly, he closed his eyes and stopped talking to Gao Yang.
Gao Yang had a headache, but the good news was that Cui Bo seemed to be making good progress.
Gao Yang and his walkie-talkies automatically pick up sound. After adjustment, as long as the sound reaches a certain level, it can automatically transmit. It is no problem to use it as a listening device. Now that he shuts up and does not speak, he can continue to Hear Cui Bo's conversation.
Cui Bo chatted with the older man, and the conversation sounded pretty good. The only thing that surprised Gao Yang was that Cui Bo was actually using Arabic, Urdu, and some English mixed in with the man. The elderly people were chatting, and the only thing Gao Yang was sure of now was that that person was indeed from Pakistan.
Gao Yang was helpless, but also very lucky, because if he and Cui Bo exchanged passengers, it would be over. He and the older man were in the stall. There was a language barrier, and even though Irene could speak Arabic, these bearded people seemed to be extremely repulsive to women, because when each of them looked at Irene and Lucika, their eyes were very unfriendly.
Now, it just depends on whether Cui Bo can get anything useful. (To be continued)
