Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Four: Drinking Horse Valley
The afternoon sun was warm and bright, and the barren hills stretched to the horizon, as if they would never end.
An electric car was driving in a canyon surrounded by mountains, bumping and bumping on the bumpy mountain road, and the speed was very slow.
Originally, with the super off-road performance of the Tiandao electric vehicle, it could reach a speed of seventy or eighty yards even in the wilderness without roads, but Ning Tao had to consider the feelings of the passengers, especially Jiang Hao. Comrade. After riding for half a day, 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 there is only a river bed but no water flowing. On the cliff is a mountain road, which is rugged and winding, with no end in sight. On one side of the mountain road are sharp cliffs, and the suspended rocks create a dangerous atmosphere, giving people the feeling that they will collapse at any time and smash people into meat sauce.
"Doctor Ning, Mrs. Ning, a few kilometers ahead is the settlement of Yinma Valley." Zaina pointed to the direction of the pass ahead and said, "I heard from my brother that there seem to be thousands of shelters living there. The war-torn civilians, they all need help."
Ning Tao nodded and asked, "Mrs. Kang, is the Yinma River you mentioned the river below?"
"Yes, there is the Yinma River below... But why is there no water?" Zaina was also surprised when she saw the dry riverbed with her probe.
Ning Tao originally wanted to ask her why the river ran out of water, but it seemed that she didn't know, so there was no need for him to ask.
Jiang Hao, who was sitting on Ning Tao's lap, suddenly raised her head to look at the sky, her eyes turned cold instantly.
The Global Hawk reappeared, maintaining a high altitude. Along the way, it is like a ghost, appearing from time to time and disappearing from time to time.
"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 air. After a moment of silence, he said, "I know that we are here, and the US ground forces may be dispatched."
Jiang Hao said coldly: "Come one and kill one, come two and I will kill one pair!"
Was Diao Chan himself so decisive in killing in ancient times?
This is really something that no one can say clearly.
Jiang Hao's Diao Chan's face suddenly reminded Ning Tao of something on his mind,
The spiritual materials to refine the full version of Xunzu Pill have been lacking for a long time. He really has to go to the Black Fire Company to "visit" and borrow some spiritual materials.
The Global Hawk flew across the sky and was gone in a blink of an eye.
Ning Tao turned the switch, and the Tiandao tram continued to drive towards Yinma Valley.
Duo duo duo...
Miss Diaochan originally had a frosty face, and her red phoenix eyes were full of murderous intent, but within a few seconds, the frost and murderous intent disappeared, her cherry lips parted slightly, and her white teeth were bitten lightly. Although those eyes still wanted to kill, but the way of killing was different.
There is a man who is also uncomfortable, muttering words in his mouth.
I breathed in the womb and heard the voice of the Great Dao.
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 on all sides, a temporary hut was built on both sides of the dry riverbed, but the number was not very large, and it could not accommodate the thousands of refugees that Zaina said. More refugees live in the crevices of rocks, in natural caves. Some refugees who had no place to stay and lacked materials simply built a circle with stones, covered it with branches and weeds, and took it as their home.
This is the refugee colony in Yinma Valley.
The source of the Yinma River is a cliff, but unfortunately there is only a small stream of water left, and the cliff that should have been a waterfall has exposed gray and black rock walls. There are still traces of moisture on the rock wall, and it is obvious that the flow has not lasted for a long time.
There are a large number of refugees gathered under that rock wall, and everyone is holding plastic basins, aluminum pots and other utensils waiting to fill water. But with the water that is smaller than the water flowing from the tap, when will it be able to fill hundreds of thousands of water containers?
Zaina jumped out of the car and looked at the refugees who were scrambling for water. She looked surprised and confused: "The Yinma River has not stopped flowing for thousands of years. Why did it stop?"
Ning Tao is also thinking about this question.
Just now, when the Global Hawk reappeared, his idea of entering Horse Drinking Valley to help Mr. Kang do good deeds was actually a little shaken. After the stronghold of the Ace Front was taken away, the Global Hawk lingered, and he had a premonition that the ground troops of the Lighthouse Country would probably follow the Global Hawk based on the information provided by the Global Hawk, and even On the way here.
He is fearless, and has enough ability to protect Junzi Kang and Zaina, but if the ground troops of the Lighthouse Kingdom are led to the refugee colony, it will inevitably cause refugee casualties in the event of a battle. In this way, a good thing becomes a bad thing.
However, he changed his mind when he saw that the river stopped flowing. One of the most important reasons for those refugees to avoid the war here 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 the thousands of refugees living in Yinma Valley will be very dangerous.
So, hesitation is hesitation, he still came.
Seeing the bare cliff that should have a waterfall at this moment, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart: "Could it be that someone really cut off the water flow on purpose?"
"Doctor Ning, let's go and have a look." Zaina looked away, looked at Ning Tao and said.
Ning Tao nodded, and pushed the Tiandao tram towards the refugee settlement.
Jiang Hao put away her sun chasing gun, and walked side by side with Ning Tao to the refugee settlement.
Stepping over a simple stone bridge that has existed for hundreds of years, Ning Tao saw a white tent in the middle of the settlement, with a red cross mark on the curtain of the tent. There was a group of people around, and a white man in outdoor sportswear was talking loudly. The man spoke Arabic with a loud voice that could be heard from far away, giving the impression that he was 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 old AK rifles in their hands, yelling in this direction, looking very ferocious.
Zaina raised her hands and walked up, talking as she walked.
Ning Tao asked Kang Junzi: "Mr. Kang, can you understand what your wife said?"
Junzi Kang nodded: "My wife and I come here often and know a little Arabic. Would you like me to translate it for you?"
Ning Tao nodded.
Kang Junzi said: "My wife is showing their identity to them. Those armed men are the defenders of the settlement, and 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" again, and then interrupted Kang Junzi's translation: "Mr. Kang, can you hear what that white man is saying clearly?"
The communication here is meaningless, and Kang Junzi's translation also loses its meaning.
Junzi Kang looked up at the white man, listened carefully, and said intermittently: "There is no way out here... Your suffering today is caused by the Syrian authorities... They are greedy and corrupt... Freedom is calling you ...There has never been a bloodless revolution... Take up arms and become fighters for freedom..."
Ning Tao frowned slowly. When he first listened to Kang Junzi's translation, he still felt that the man was a caring and righteous person. A lobbyist who fools people into dying.
At this time Zaina came over, followed by an Arab man in his early fifties. Wearing a camouflage uniform, I don't know if it was pulled out from the corpse. There are several burnt bullet holes on the body, and there are still blood stains on the body, which looks dirty.
Zaina said: "Doctor Ning, let me introduce you. This is Chief Assadin. He is the leader of the Camel Tribe. Those people with guns are tribal fighters of the Camel Tribe. Many refugees here are It's a man from the camel tribe, the war destroyed their territory, and the Ace Front cut him off from the tribe, so he stayed here for a while. I told him who I am, and who you are. He listened They are very happy to say that you are the Chinese who came to help them."
After Zaina finished speaking, Ning Tao reached out his hand to shake Assadin's hand, and said politely: "Nice to meet you, Chief Assadin."
Assadin 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 an interpreter: "Doctor Ning, Chief Assadin said that he likes Huaguo very much. It is a very great country. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely visit Huaguo. He also said , the Chinese come to help this country without conditions, let alone conspiracy and purpose, which is very good.”
Ning Tao said with a smile: "You tell the chief, if he comes to China as a guest, I will be his tour guide and take him to our Great Wall and Imperial City."
Zaina translated Ning Tao's words to Chief Assadin, and the enthusiastic chief simply gave Ning Tao a hug.
After chatting for a few words, Chief Assadin took Ning Tao and the others into the refugee colony, chatting with Ning Tao while walking. Although there is a language barrier, Zaina, a translator who is proficient in Chinese, is by her side, so there is no obstacle.
The Caucasian man who was standing in front of the white tent giving a speech fell on Ning Tao, and his eyes felt a little "light" at that moment. Then he glanced at Jiang Hao, Zaina and Kang Junzi again, then looked away and continued his speech.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on the white man, awakening the state of his eyesight, and he looked away after just a glance. But with this one glance, his pupils darkened quietly, but it was only fleeting.
