Chapter 18: The Suicide Bomb

Hearing the young man's words, Cai Ruichen frowned instinctively.

In this world, he had nothing to worry about, and he came to this damn Baghdad, and he didn't even know anyone.

The young man in front of him seemed to have a harmless face, but he couldn't explain it.

In Iraq, where the forces are intertwined and complicated, people's hearts have long since faded away.

Don't talk about being kind, even a person who is kind by nature may be subtly influenced after staying in such an environment for a long time.

But I have to say that there are still more good people in this world, and it's almost the same here in Iraq.

The haze brought by the war and the pressure of life are indeed easy to make people go to extremes, but there are still quite a few people who just want to live well.

And this kind of people are the majority of people who make up the current situation of life in Iraq. While suffering from war, no one knows the value of peace better than them.

It's just that the cruelty of reality made them numb, and they struggled for three meals a day every day.

But Cai Ruichen was absolutely sure that this guy who suddenly appeared and said that someone wanted to see him must represent a certain party.

"Who asked you to come?" Cai Ruichen didn't say whether he agreed, but asked.

"We really don't have any malicious intentions, please follow me." Harlan continued to say in a friendly manner.

"I'm sorry, if you don't tell me who wants to see me, I won't be able to go with you." Cai Ruichen said calmly, and after that, he ignored the young man named Harun and was about to walk into the grocery store.

At this moment, nervous shouts suddenly came from the intersection that was only about 150 meters away from them.

On the quiet street, the shout naturally attracted everyone's attention.

An armed off-road vehicle and two armed pickup trucks were parked at this intersection. Three of the twelve armed personnel stood on the armed vehicles, manipulating their machine guns, aiming at a middle-aged man who was walking towards them. people.

The other nine armed men also stood in a fan shape, and their guns were aimed at the middle-aged man.

The yelling came from a certain armed man, and it was nothing more than making the middle-aged man stop and kneel down.

And the middle-aged man, with his eyes blank, continued to approach them slowly. In his hand, there was a mobile phone.

What really alerted these armed men was that although this middle-aged man was wearing a fairly straight suit, there were irregular bulges on the outside of the suit.

This had to make everyone raise their spirits.

At the same time, the general beside Cai Ruichen showed his ferocious fangs, fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man, and his hair stood up slightly.

This was a dangerous signal, Cai Ruichen immediately squatted down, untied the chain from the collar around the general's neck, and at the same time comforted the general so that he would not move around.

"Relax, be quiet."

The general's attacking stance obviously showed the danger of this middle-aged man, but no matter who this middle-aged man was, it had nothing to do with him.

With these armed personnel to deal with, he is just a spectator after all.

And those armed personnel seemed to recognize the middle-aged man and kept telling him to stop, even though the middle-aged man was still slowly moving forward, they did not shoot.

At this time, Harun had already hid in the corner of the street, and Cai Ruichen, under the protection of El Yessel, led the general to continue away from the intersection for about ten meters.

At the intersection, the situation had reached a tense stage. The middle-aged man had already approached the armed men within 50 meters, and he still had no intention of stopping.

At this time, all these armed men scattered in all directions immediately, keeping a distance from the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was allowed to walk to the intersection, and one of the armed pickups retreated not far from Cai Ruichen.

The Iraqis who were close to the intersection were also driven hundreds of meters away from the intersection by the armed men at the intersection.

Soon, only the middle-aged man was left at the entire intersection, and everyone, including the armed men, retreated far away.

One hundred meters, under the power of most suicide bombs, is barely a safe distance.

At this moment, these armed personnel can already be sure that this middle-aged man has a bomb strapped to his body, whether it is the middle-aged man's own will or not, the end will be the same.

The middle-aged man at the intersection, standing in the center of the intersection, did not move anymore.

It was the first time Cai Ruichen saw such a scene, and he didn't know what was going on.

At this time, when he retreated to the pickup truck not far from him, the loudspeaker sounded: "Alimu, what's going on?"

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the middle-aged man at the intersection looked over with a look of despair, a few tears rolled down his face, and wept slightly on his vicissitudes of life.

"Arimu, speak up and see if we can help you."

The horn on the pickup truck yelled again, but the middle-aged man named Alimu shook his head slightly, as if to say, you can't help me.

At this time, Cai Ruichen also heard these armed men, who were requesting help from the bomb disposal unit of the Iraqi government army by radio.

There is a railway station in the town of Marin, where government forces have set up a bomb disposal unit, part of the Iraqi Armed Police Force, despite the armed men's control.

At the same time, the bomb disposal unit also pays attention to the highway from the important northern city of Mosul to Baghdad every day, and often sets up checkpoints on the highway to check the vehicles entering Baghdad.

After receiving the notification from these armed men, Cai Ruichen heard the voice on the radio saying that he would arrive as soon as possible.

Next, these armed men kept calming the middle-aged Alimu's emotions, but Alimu just stood quietly in the center of the intersection, crying in despair.

Ten minutes later, a Humvee bulletproof vehicle drove over quickly, and four Iraqis wearing Iraqi police uniforms quickly got out of the vehicle.

One of them started to put on a bulletproof suit, and under the guard of other armed personnel and the police, the bomb disposal police who put on the bulletproof vest walked slowly towards the intersection.

Seeing the arrival of the bomb disposal personnel, the already desperate middle-aged man began to have a desire to survive in his eyes.

Under the pressure of death, he, who was about to collapse, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Help me, I don't want to die, I have a family, my wife and kids need my job to feed them, please, help me...they made me here or they're going to kill my wife and son..."

Ali Mu, who was a little out of control, kept crying to the bomb disposal personnel.

On the side of the pickup truck, the armed personnel continued to comfort Alimu, but he couldn't listen to it at the moment. In despair, he finally saw a glimmer of light, and he couldn't stop at all.

Just when the bomb disposal personnel approached and was 50 meters away from Alimu, Alimu, who was shouting frantically, checked the time on his mobile phone, and the desire to survive that had just appeared on his face was completely replaced by dead ash.

Kneeling with weak legs, the voice of crying was replaced by "It's too late, it's too late..."

With the last tears streaming down my face, I slowly lifted my head, captivated my eyes, and prayed.

Seeing this scene, the bomb disposal police seemed to understand something, and turned around and ran back.

But it was too late. A huge explosion erupted in an instant accompanied by a strong earthquake. Cai Ruichen, who had experienced heavy artillery in virtual reality, was very familiar with such a scene.

The dust and smoke from the explosion instantly dispersed with a powerful air wave, and the few building glasses were completely shattered. The powerful explosion power made everyone feel their hearts beat hard.

Almost everything within a hundred meters of the center of the explosion was swept up by the air wave, and the dust and smoke covered all the pictures inside.

Such a powerful explosion was enough to kill everyone within a radius of 100 meters. Fortunately, these armed men were very experienced and dispersed everyone nearby.

This was the first time that Cai Ruichen felt the power of gunpowder at close range in reality. He was more than 150 meters away from the center of the explosion. He only felt chest tightness during the explosion and did not suffer any injuries.

When the dust and smoke from the explosion dissipated slowly, the bomb disposal police were blown from more than 60 meters to a position of 80 meters.

Seeing the middle-aged man who had disappeared without a trace, and the bomb disposal police who were lying on the ground, Cai Ruichen realized that in his eyes, two people had lost their lives.

Seeing the other three bomb disposal personnel rushing forward, Cai Ruichen shook his head.

The middle-aged man must have been wiped out, and the bomb disposal police, who were only 60 meters away from the center of the explosion, had no chance of surviving. The Kelaf bulletproof armor on their bodies could block the shrapnel, but at such a distance, the power of the explosion was enough to knock the people inside People were shocked to death.

"Mr. Cai, we can't stay here any longer. Please come with me. It is our elder who wants to see you, and there is absolutely no malice."

After the explosion, Harun immediately ran to Cai Ruichen's side and said in a very low voice.
