51: Chapter 51 The Plane Crashes in Syria!
On the other side, the soldiers knew things were going south the moment they learned Freeman was dead! They immediately looked for a way to flee Syria! Just as they were waiting to board a flight out, a group of armed thugs stormed the international airport!
"Da da da da!"
A series of bullets streaked into the sky! Simultaneously, two vehicles drove up, with a Heavy Machine Gun mounted on top!
The leader shouted at the chaotic crowd, "Everyone, quiet! I'm only here to catch one person! If no one moves, nothing will happen! Anyone who dares to move will be shot dead!"
The scene fell silent instantly, save for that one soldier who was trembling uncontrollably! The leader flashed a cruel smile and, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, bled the man and cut off his head!
"Brothers! Let's head back to claim the reward!"
"Oh!"
The group of soldiers cheered wildly! An armored vehicle! That was a prize they wouldn't see in a lifetime! To actually get their hands on one now was simply too exhilarating!
After this incident, Tali Province became a complete no-go zone for warlords! All battles steered clear of this territory!
Claude was feeling extremely fortunate about his original decision. Look at that! What a wise choice!
Right at that moment, in the sky, a Passenger Plane with an engine spewing flames was plummeting rapidly! And the direction it was falling was none other than Syria!
More than half of the people on board were from China! Most of the rest were from the Great Eagle Country, as this was a flight from the Great Eagle Country to China!
The people on the plane were in total despair! They never expected to encounter a plane crash!
Just as it was about to crash, the Captain managed to barely maintain control! Though it jolted violently, it didn't crash! The passengers, still shaken, stepped off the plane!
Then, led by the Captain, they began to run for their lives! When they had run several kilometers away, the burning plane behind them exploded with a deafening boom!
Everyone looked at the burning wreckage with eyes full of relief!
"We're alive!"
"Wuwu!"
The passengers hugged each other, loudly venting the Fear in their hearts!
After ten minutes passed, someone finally raised a question: "Where are we now?"
The Captain said with a grim expression, "According to the last radar reading, we are within the borders of Syria! We are roughly a thousand kilometers away from the nearest airport!"
Silence fell over the scene at those words, followed by despair. This was a place with no sign of human life; as far as the eye could see, there was only the Gobi Desert! They had nothing!
Their only supplies had exploded with the plane! How could they possibly walk a thousand kilometers? Moreover, they had no map and couldn't even find their bearings!
"My phone has a signal!"
At that moment, an encouraging voice rang out! Someone pulled out a phone and excitedly called home!
Meanwhile, back in China, the news of the plane crash in Syria quickly shot to the top of the trending searches!
"As long as the people are okay! The country will soon send the military to pick them up!"
"The probability of surviving a plane crash is too low; this is truly a blessing among misfortunes!"
"Da da da da!"
Just then, a burst of gunfire echoed from the distance, along with the roar of engines! Everyone instantly huddled together in tension!
A dozen off-road vehicles drove up! Onboard were dozens of soldiers holding AK-47s, with two even carrying Rocket Launchers and Light Machine Guns!
Gracie laughed while holding an AK, "Haha! I didn't expect to run into such prime goods! These should fetch a lot of money!"
Small warlords like them often dabbled in human trafficking! Although the people before them looked disheveled, they all appeared to have good temperaments! They were of much higher quality than the locals in Syria!
The Captain mustered his courage, stepped forward, and said, "We are Chinese! We have already notified the Chinese officials! If you touch us, it will be a provocation against China!"
Gracie frowned and looked at the phone in the Captain's hand, the smile on his face instantly freezing!
"Slap!"
Gracie stepped forward and delivered a slap, knocking the Captain straight to the ground.
"Who the hell do you think you are, trying to use China to pressure me? Even if I kill you all, who will be able to prove I did it?"
"I can prove it!"
At that moment, a female voice spoke up, weak yet exceptionally firm!
A sweet-looking girl who perfectly matched the public's aesthetic stood out, holding up her phone!
"I am currently livestreaming to China! People in China can see everything! If you dare to shoot, everyone will know you did it! China will definitely not let you off!"
Though the girl's voice was trembling, she refused to back down an inch! Simultaneously, many people were entering her livestream! She was originally an influencer with millions of followers; though she didn't stream often, many people flooded in once she started!
The netizens who entered were stunned by the scene and frantically called their friends to join! The number of people in the livestream grew exponentially!
Gracie's expression changed, and he looked at the girl with a savage glare, shouting, "Who told you to stream! Turn it off for me!"
The girl quickly took two steps back, "Now your actions are being witnessed by netizens!"
When Gracie had just mentioned they were 'prime goods,' she clearly felt his gaze repeatedly scanning her body! The livestream in her hand was her last resort!
If the other party decided to risk it all, she could only choose to die!
Gracie's expression shifted constantly! He didn't seem to want to offend China, yet he felt that returning empty-handed would be a loss of face!
Finally, Gracie smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't intend to do anything to you! There's just a game; as long as you can complete it, I'll send men to escort you to the international airport!"
"You should know that Syria isn't peaceful right now. A few days ago, even the international airport was attacked by a group of fierce bandits! With our personal escort, your safety is guaranteed!"
The girl was a bit uncertain; after all, she was just a college student. She turned to look at the Captain!
The Captain frowned, but there was no other way right now! Although the other party was wary, their lives were still held in his hands! What if this guy went crazy and gunned them all down!
Gracie suddenly flashed a twisted smile and said, "Start running! I'll give you ten minutes. Once the time is up, we will start hunting you! If you can hide and survive, I'll send you back! How about it, isn't that fair?"
The crowd couldn't believe their ears. Was he not afraid of offending China?
Gracie laughed loudly, "I was almost scared by you little girl! Even if it's China, can they send troops to attack? The Government Forces won't allow another country's military to enter! Will your country intervene in another's territory?"
"Besides, I'm with the Rebel Army! I never thought the day would come when the Government Forces would serve as a shield for me! This feels great! Run, hurry up! Let me feel some joy! Hahahaha!"
Now, not just the victims, but the netizens couldn't sit still either! They were frantically @-ing Chinese officials! At the same time, many people were @-ing Qin Yang!
Of course, some had been doing this from the very beginning. Qin Yang, having nothing to do, had also clicked in!
Looking at the scene before him, the corner of his mouth curled into a slight arc! This must be one of the several Rebel Army groups near his Tali Province! He didn't expect Douglas hadn't dealt with them yet!
Douglas was also being treated unfairly here; Qin Yang's Vita City had also been handed over to him by Bard, leaving him overextended. Furthermore, those two small warlord groups only totaled about a thousand people! He usually didn't even bother looking at them!
Moreover, they had no natural resources! So he had put them aside for now to deal with others first!
