In the room, Xia Jinyuan spoke in a calm and cold voice, with even a hint of murderous in it, “The man at the front desk, the waitresses and waiters, and the manager all appeared in the riot, they all spoke fluent English with the tourists from various countries. The hotel will also personally escort the international rescuers to the places that they need to go. I have to say that this hotel really has some influences in Somalia.”
“Even a restaurant waiter has a gun, and the callus between his right index finger is thicker than ours. It can be seen that these people use their guns more often than us.”
“You mean… this hotel is suspicious?” G3 frowned, “If that’s the case, when are we going to check it out?”
“The hotel is indeed suspicious, but we haven’t found anything here, and there is no time to investigate… The Major General wants us to rescue the four scientists; that’s our main task; we don’t need to get involved in Somalia’s matters.” Xia Jinyuan paused. After a while, he got up and opened the curtains to look outside.
The outside sun was so bright that it could roast people like meat, and it was so bright that people couldn’t even open their eyes. There were no pedestrians walking on the street; even if it was a safe area, there was no one on the streets.
Illegal militants and the government had already been killed. Everyone wanted to occupy the city; no one wanted to let the other party claim the entire city. The thick smoke caused by the bombing seemed to engulf the entire city, exuding suffocating despair.
Andican’s auction site was still considered quiet. The next step was to drive directly to them.
Putting down the curtains, Xia Jinyuan sat back to his original position, “Let’s put aside the hotel’s problems first. Don’t bother what their identities are and what their purpose is. As long as they don’t involve us, we don’t have to bother them.”
“I think the temperature outside is conservatively 39 degrees. Both sides have fought for hours; I believe it’s time to rest. Take out the photographic equipment for research and study first. Then we will take a good rest and start work at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.”
There were advantages and disadvantages to fighting in a city with constant civil strife. The advantage was that if they were driving on the streets with heavy machine guns and armors, others would ignore them. The downside was that everyone had a gun, so they would never know when anyone would point a gun at them.
At 3 o’clock, Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian adopted a strong attitude; regardless of the white man at the front desk’s dissuasion to check out, they screwed their so-called photographic equipment and headed towards the combat area.
“They really went to the place where the conflict occurred.” The hotel security guard stood on the side of the street, holding an intercom in his hand, watching four jeeps rushing towards the breakout, and reporting the situation to the front desk, “Should we follow them?”
The white man at the front desk thought for a while but finally shook his head, “No, they really don’t have any weapons in their vehicles, and the scanner at the entrance scanned their equipment and showed that they were indeed carrying camera equipment… You guys don’t need to follow.”
The black security guard strode back to the hotel upon receiving the order.
Inside the jeep, Ye Jian sat upright, no longer looking at the back, “He went back to the hotel. They are not following us.”
They were also not afraid if the hotel’s guards really followed them. At most, they could drive directly to the breakout to take pictures and purchase some things. Now that they were not following them, Xia Jinyuan turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. With a “vroom” of the engines, the jeeps headed towards Andican’s auction site.
One and a half hours later, they arrived at Kenmen lobby at 4:36 in the afternoon. Four jeeps drove over a pile of builders’ garbage and rushed into a building that was bombarded in half.
