66: Is everything really peaceful here? Then where did these terrorists come from?
Lin Pei misunderstood the child's admiration.
He felt that a child so young having such a level of thinking was truly worthy of praise.
“Yes, Customer is always god.”
“Customer is the king.”
The customer is God.
No problem there.
The Little Black Kid sighed and went back to sit under the tree, looking slightly melancholy.
Sigh.
The greatest barrier between people isn't national borders, age, or even language.
It's the inability to communicate thoughts... though it had to be said, while the others weren't the greatest barriers, they were still significant.
For example, language.
Because the child realized that he knew too little English.
Aside from that phrase "you are my god," he could no longer accurately express his feelings of admiration.
In the end, he was shut down by a single sentence.
Looking at the Little Black Kid under the tree, Lin Pei felt slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected such a small child to have such a profound side.
Truly someone who knew "the customer is God" from a young age... Before long, several people boarded a local bus, and the bus drove toward the Film Crew's shooting location.
There weren't many people on this trip; once the Film Crew got on, there was just enough room for everyone to sit.
On the bus.
After Lin Pei sat down, Hai Qing walked toward the seat next to him.
Unexpectedly, a figure appeared in front and lunged for that same seat.
Hai Qing grabbed the person.
"Hey, Huang Jingyu, go sit somewhere else."
Even though he was being held back, Huang Jingyu still charged forward with the strength of a bull.
"Sorry, Sis, you sit somewhere else this time."
"I want to discuss marksmanship with Brother Lin."
Hai Qing gripped him tight and wouldn't let go.
"Hmph, who was it just now saying that someone was boasting shamelessly?"
"Who said that if he could shoot them down, then Mars would be habitable?"
While struggling to break free from her grasp, Huang Jingyu chuckled.
"Sis, I was wrong, okay?"
"I was boasting shamelessly, alright?"
"Maybe Mars will be habitable very soon, right?"
The two of them pulled and tugged at each other, almost sprinting over.
Only to find that someone was already sitting in that spot.
Zhang Ze stretched in the seat.
"Oh my, why is this seat so spacious?"
"So comfortable."
"..."
Hai Qing and Huang Jingyu had no choice but to sit in the front row.
The bus began to move slowly.
This place was really different from what Lin Pei had imagined.
Back in his previous life when he watched the finished movies.
Man, in the movies, it was just endless rocky deserts and yellow sand filling the sky.
He looked out the window.
Green grass, green trees, blue sky, and white clouds—wasn't this scenery quite beautiful?
Moreover, the locals seemed relaxed and content, not looking like there were any unstable factors.
This place felt like a picture of peace right now.
Sitting to the side, Zhang Ze shook his head.
"Tsk, that shouldn't be right."
"Director Lin specifically said this was a place with no risk; it shouldn't be this calm."
"I didn't expect this place to look so peaceful."
"Is Director Lin not tricking people anymore?"
Lin Texian was sitting not far away, so naturally, he could hear them.
"Cough... how could I lie to you guys?"
"I investigated before coming; this place isn't like it was a few years ago. It's very safe now."
"The country is prosperous and the people are at peace—it's a scene of total harmony. Where would any danger come from?"
"Look, even riding a bus is steady as can be. The speed doesn't even fluctuate by more than two miles; it's very reassuring... ow..."
Lin Texian's final words wavered.
Because the bus broke its steady pace and suddenly jolted twice.
"Screech!"
After a sharp sound of tires rubbing against the road, the vehicle braked hard on the street.
Lin Texian's forehead slammed into the seat in front of him, turning red again.
"Cough... there are still minor incidents occasionally."
"Encountering some kind of animal on the road here is quite normal."
"No need to panic, it's very peaceful."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from outside the bus, and Lin Texian instinctively shuddered twice.
In the back row, Huang Jingyu's face turned pale.
"Director, you'd better stop talking."
"No one's going to believe you anymore no matter what you say."
"Those guys outside with guns don't look like any kind of animal."
Lin Texian looked out through the front windshield.
He saw two burly men with guns in front of the bus.
The men wore black hoods, and a disheveled local woman was kneeling before them.
Beside the woman lay two other women who had been shot in the head.
It went without saying what the men had just done.
One of the men raised his hand, and the kneeling woman was also shot in the head!
"Ah!!!"
Panic broke out inside the bus, with screams rising one after another.
The local language and Dragon Country language were mixed together.
"Oh my god, have we run into Terrorists?"
"Driver, turn around and let's get out of here!"
"This is terrifying. We aren't going to die here today, are we?"
"..."
At this moment, Lin Texian rubbed his forehead.
Having tricked people so much, he had seen a lot of the world, which had cultivated a hint of composure in him.
"Oh, everyone calm down. It's fine."
"I guarantee we won't die today... mmm..."
Huang Jingyu had already reached out from the back row and covered Lin Texian's mouth.
The members of the Film Crew all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good job, Jingyu."
"The director is tired of talking."
"Let him rest for a bit."
Lin Pei, sitting in the back row, suddenly felt a weight on him.
When the gunshots rang out outside the window, someone had jumped onto him.
Forcing a princess-carry position.
Looking down, it wasn't a princess in his arms; it looked more like the princess's father.
Zhang Ze scrambled back to his own seat.
"Cough... I'm not scared."
"It's mainly that when the bus braked just now, the inertia was too great."
Hai Qing turned back and rolled her eyes at him, her teeth nearly grinding to dust.
"Teacher Zhang Ze, your movements are certainly quick and smooth."
"I have to hand it to you..."
Watching the two suspected Terrorists laughing and chatting by the corpses with their guns in hand.
The people inside the bus became even more terrified.
Someone shouted.
"Driver, while they haven't walked over yet, let's back up quickly!"
"You're shouting in the Dragon Country language; the driver can't understand you."
"Ah... what should we do? We can't understand what the locals are saying either."
"Did they say anything to the driver?"
In reality, there weren't many locals, mostly women and children, who seemed to have lost their wits from fear.
An actor in the front ran up to the driver and anxiously began to communicate.
"Reverse! Back! or we all die!"
The driver seemed paralyzed with fear, currently trembling all over.
He babbled a whole lot.
No one could understand him.
The actor communicating with the driver used both English and gestures.
The driver waved his hand, indicating he didn't understand either.
The actor wiped away sweat in his anxiety.
If he knew how to drive a bus, he would have taken over long ago.
He turned back and asked.
"Does anyone here speak Arabic?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Lin Texian opened his mouth. "I know a lit—"
But he was covered by Huang Jingyu again.
"Director, you take a rest."
