Chapter 003, the era of war

The three hooligans looked at each other, and then began to chirp.

The three of them obviously didn't speak English. Xiao Yun was shocked. He suddenly realized that the three of them could not speak Chinese, and their English might be similar to him. He turned his mind quickly and tried to find a way to show his goodwill.

"Friend, friend, We/are/friends... (Friend, friend, we are friends...)" Xiao Yun said as he made a heart shape with the thumbs and index fingers of his hands.

"Money, Money... (Money, money...)" A hooligan also cooperated with his physical movements, took out a dollar from his body and shook it in front of Xiao Yun, "Money..."

"friend, We/are/friends. Don't/say/Money... (Friends, we are friends, don't talk about money...)"

The three hooligans were impatient. One of them touched one hand to his back. It seemed that he was going to take the guy, pointing to Xiao Yun with one, and saying something loudly excitedly.

Xiao Yun and these three people met peacefully. There was no enmity, and the other party would not bother him for no reason. He had long known that the other party stopped him and robbed him.

Xiao Yun has a lot of dollars, but he doesn't intend to give it to others.

Seeing the three people blocking the way, Xiao Yun showed that the enemy was weak, bypassed a few steps, and continued to walk forward.

These three people were indeed robbed. Seeing that Xiao Yun did not cooperate, a man shouted, rushed to Xiao Yun quickly, and punched the back of Xiao Yun's neck, ready to teach Xiao Yun a serious lesson.

Xiao Yun has been careful and vigilant. He seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. When the man behind him rushed behind him and raised his fist before he hit it down, he did not look back. He raised his legs and kicked the man's lower abdomen heavily.

The man was kicked back more than two meters. In the end, the speed of his feet could not keep up with the speed of the center of gravity. He turned to the ground, sweating with pain, and his whole body**.

The other two were shocked and rushed to Xiao Yun at the same time.

Two ordinary hooligans, not to mention that Xiao Yun has added the King Kong charm, even if he does not have the King Kong charm, he will not see the other party in his eyes. Seeing the two hooligans rushing over, Xiao Yun does not dodge and confront the enemy head-on.

The fists of the two hooligans fell on Xiao Yun.

The two gasped and felt that their fists were not hit on the human body, but on the stump. Before the two people could react, Xiao Yun used both hands and bowed left and right. One of them slapped them in the face and knocked them to the ground with blood splashing.

This is the street of Mogadishu. Although interpersonal relationships are rare on the street, the windows of the crowded houses are covered with many people watching the bustle. Xiao Yun is not very clear about the situation and dares not rush to kill them all. Otherwise, the three of them will not have their lives.

After winning, Xiao Yun quickly left.

Xiao Yun believes that language is a bridge of communication, and it is necessary for him to find a translator.

Although Mogadishu is in chaos, there are still some people who risk their lives to come to Mogadishu for tourism. Therefore, English translations in Mogadishu are everywhere. Several local civilians, seeing that Xiao Yun is Asian, they come forward and interact with Xiao Yun in Chinese and ask if Xiao Yun needs a translator. Xiao Yun Immediately, a Somali civilian was hired as his interpreter for a fee of twenty dollars a day.

"Let's go. It's dangerous for you to offend them." The Somali civilian translator is in his thirties and thin. After charging Xiao Yun 20 dollars, he began to serve Xiao Yun eagerly.

"I'm going to the Somali Peninsula." Xiao Yundao.

"The Somali Peninsula is a long way away. You have to have a bodyguard. But now, Kuza and others will come to retaliate against you soon, so you should find a big hotel and hire a bodyguard before you go on the road.

Xiao Yun thinks so.

Large hotels in Mogadishu are relatively safe, but they are extremely expensive. Moreover, the hotel also treats consumers differently. An ordinary room costs only $30 if it is a Somali, but $200 if it is a foreigner. Xiao Yun is not short of money. He spent 600 dollars to open a luxury suite.

Xiao Yun expressed his concern about his safety to the waiter in response to the current situation. The waiter told Xiao Yun that as long as the Somali government has not finished playing, the hotel will be very safe. Xiao Yun was very satisfied.

Through communication, Xiao Yun learned more about some situations.

The translation is a Somali civilian with a long name. Since this is Somalia, Xiao Yun calls the other party Aso.

Aso told Xiao Yun that in Somalia, even in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, it will be difficult for foreigners to walk without bodyguards when the situation is tense. Now, it is a time when the relationship between the Somali regular army and other forces is tense. If Xiao Yun wants to go to the Somali Peninsula, he must hire a bodyguard.

Somalia is a poor place. As long as you have money, there is no problem even if you hire armored vehicles to escort you.

As for Kuza, he is the leader of a small gang in Mogadishu. This is a small gang that can't compete among the major forces, but it does not prevent them from showing off their power among civilians.

After introducing some preliminary information, Aso came to the window, opened the curtains, looked up the street, then turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun, worriedly, "Kuza and others are waiting at the door."

Xiao Yun nodded and did not look at Kuza. He just said, "Mogadishu, which is the biggest force?"

"Gudmi, he is the dark king of Mogadishu. Have your own army.

"What do you think if I ask Goodmi to escort me to the Somali Peninsula?"

Kuza looked at Xiao Yun with wide eyes and said, "That takes a lot of money."

"Let Goodmi talk to me and tell him that money is not a problem..."

The magic of money in Somalia is huge. An hour later, a tall man with a beard and no age appeared in front of Xiao Yun. He was Gudmi.

Aso acted as a translator, and Xiao Yun and Gudmi began to talk.

"Nice to meet you, a distant guest. What do you want to do for me?"

"I want your motorcade to escort me to the Somali Peninsula. How much does it cost?

Goodmi didn't say anything and narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Yun. He was thinking, how much would the young man in front of him be willing to pay for going to the Somali Peninsula? Do you have to go?

After a while, Goodmi said, "You know, the situation is very tense now. My influence is only in Mogadishu. Out of Mogadishu, there are other power groups everywhere, and there is a very likely gunfight. During this period, I can't measure how much arms I will consume and how many brothers will die because of this mission.

"Don't explain so much. As long as you answer me, can you be competent? If so, how much does it cost?"

Goodmi hesitated and said after a while, "500,000 US dollars."

500,000 US dollars is very expensive, but Xiao Yun is rich. He nodded and said, "Just at the gate of the hotel, did you see a group of people? The leader is Kuza. 500,000 US dollars is nothing. I can give you 510,000 US dollars. You ask your motorcade to escort me to the Somali Peninsula. You have to go with me and take a car with me. By the way, how about asking Kuza and others to meet Allah?

"My distant friend, ten thousand dollars is enough for Kuza to meet Allah's fare..."

Gudemi told Xiao Yun that in order not to arouse the hostility of the outside forces in Mogadishu, it is best to choose the next day's drive. Xiao Yun expressed his understanding.

I stayed in the hotel for a day. At dawn the next day, Xiao Yun embarked on a journey to the Somali Peninsula under the escort of ten armored vehicles. However, what puzzles Xiao Yun slightly is that Goodmi's armored car is not a real armored car, but an ordinary truck has been improved, and the front of the truck, except for the window glass, is all added with a layer of steel plate. In the carriage of the truck, there is a heavy machine gun, and behind each heavy machine gun stands a domineering machine gunner.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun is not going to fight. Such a battle is still debatable, and it is enough to act as a bodyguard.

The motorcade is advancing all the way.

Although Gudemi's forces are not a regular army, as the largest irregular army group in Mogadishu, he has a good relationship with the government and has not encountered any investigation and accidents in Mogadishu.

Xiao Yun enjoyed the scenery outside the car window.

The streets of Mogadishu are straight and flat, and an ancient castle with a history of thousands of years is towering on the seashore like a giant. In the bustling business district, in addition to modern banks, restaurants and shops, there is also a large market, which is full of people. In the alleys of Mogadishu, you can also see gold and silversmiths concentrate on making gold and silver jewelry in the store.

If there is no war, this should be a beautiful tourist city.

Half an hour later, the convoy left Mogadishu and continued to advance towards the Somali Peninsula.

An hour later, the motorcade entered a small town. Compared with Mogadishu, the town is becoming more and more quiet. However, what Xiao Yun didn't expect was that after the convoy drove into the town, there was thick smoke somewhere in the town.

In war-tight places, thick smoke is often used as a signal. An ominous foreboding surged in Xiao Yun's heart, and he turned his head to look at Aso.

Aso's face also showed a strong uneasiness.

Dah...

Suddenly, there was a loud gunfire, and Xiao Yun looked at the roof of a high-rise building not far in front of him. Five or six people were holding semi-automatic rifles and shooting at Goodmi's motorcade.

Several major forces outside Mogadishu are hostile to the government, while the Gudemi forces are better than the government. Therefore, when the Goodmi forces and other forces are not friendly, it is just that 500,000 US dollars is enough for Gudmi to take this big risk.

The town is not big. If you speed up, there should be no problem.

Xiao Yun turned his head to Gudmi and shouted, "Come on, rush over."

Goodmi ignored Xiao Yun. After he shouted a few words, the machine gunner in the car began to shoot to cover, and the driver immediately turned around the car, increased the accelerator, and drove to Mogadishu.

Xiao Yun said with bad luck secretly and quickly added the King Kong charm.
