Chapter 67: The Human Bomb Strikes Again

PS: It's the last day on the new book list, let's make the recommendation votes come a little more violently, okay?

—————

Naturally, Cai Ruichen didn't know that someone couldn't sit still and was planning to target him.

It's just that he doesn't know about all of this, and recently, in order to better integrate into this town, he will walk around the town from time to time, and even communicate with all the residents of the town, asking about the living conditions.

Today was no exception. The training stopped in the morning, because it was too hot in Iraq under the scorching sun.

The temperature is almost fifty degrees Celsius, and eggs can be fried on the concrete floor of the streets of the town.

Such high temperatures are simply not suitable for any training.

Regarding the weather in the Middle East, it has continued to deteriorate in recent years. Almost every year, the temperature will refresh the highest record last year.

Last year, the highest annual temperature in Iraq was nearly 51 degrees Celsius. This year has not yet reached the hottest period, and it has already approached 50 degrees Celsius at noon.

This has also led to the fact that Baghdad, originally brought by the two river basins of Iraq, is withering under the scorching sun year by year.

The area of ​​the desert is also decreasing year by year, and the rainfall is also spreading continuously. The Iraqi government, which has no intention of dealing with these things, can only wait for international assistance every year.

Fortunately, with the support of the continuous flow of the Mesopotamia, the drinking water and life in Iraq have not reached an unbearable level.

However, the area around Baghdad, which was still green ten years ago, is now deserted.

As for food, except for the drought-resistant candied dates, other agricultural production has long faced cruel tests, and production is decreasing every year.

If it weren't for Iraq's continuous food imports, I am afraid that every Iraqi would already be facing a food crisis.

However, the increase in food prices is also far higher than the increase in Iraq's per capita income. In other words, the price of food has been increasing every year, but the income of Iraqis has hardly increased for decades.

Coupled with the war and turmoil, the current life of Iraqis is close to the lowest level of the international level, which is probably better than that of countries like Nepal.

If it weren't for the fact that Marin Town is close to Baghdad and there is a train station that is always in operation, the situation in Marin Town might have had to leave this ancient land.

In the heat of noon, Cai Ruichen wore a huge sun hat and dressed in an extremely cool attire. He led the general on the side of the street, chatting happily with residents of a town.

Cai Ruichen, who speaks fluent Arabic, has penetrated into the hearts of the people of Marin Town very well.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, long smile and polite manner, it is easy for the Iraqis to disarm.

Now, most of the people on this street in Marin Town are already familiar with Cai Ruichen, and almost everyone has had a pleasant conversation with him.

Now the medical team has also begun to conduct free medical examinations for the town residents on the street, treat injuries, and give free candies to the children.

Has earned him the respect of most people in the town.

And the streets of Marin Town now don't seem to be as desolate as before. The medical point is located at the intersection of the hospital entrance, and dozens of security personnel protect it.

Every team is equipped with military dogs to strictly prevent anyone from maliciously approaching the medical point and causing damage.

For those Iraqis who sought medical treatment or received automatic health checks, when they approached the medical point, the conscripts did not search them, but let the military dogs identify them and let them go if they were safe.

No identity card was checked either. No matter what kind of person, as long as there is no threat, they are within the scope of rescue.

This approach also invisibly increased the goodwill of the town residents.

Even next to the medical point,

There was also an interviewer sent by Iraqi state television to film the treatment at the medical point.

By Cai Ruichen's side, there were only the general and two conscripts, and there were no more protective forces at all.

Cai Ruichen, who had a pleasant chat, even gave some candy to the children who came to say hello from time to time.

The children in the town like to see him most on the street now, because in Cai Ruichen's hands, there are always candies for them.

But the candies are not for free, and Cai Ruichen has to answer some arithmetic questions, and only if the answers are correct will there be candies.

This way of answering rewards did not disappoint the children, because Cai Ruichen's questions were very simple, and almost all of them were questions about adding a few.

Of course, Cai Ruichen also likes these children very much, and also likes to chat with the locals in the town and listen to their stories or some knowledge about Iraq.

In the entire base, there are not many people who can chat with him, because almost every soldier in the base has instinctive respect for him, and his dignity is very strict.

It made him unable to enjoy chatting at all. Although there were more than 2,000 conscripts now, no one except Natasha dared to chat with him casually.

Therefore, he can only find the fun of communication in the small town, and through the word of mouth of these people, he can learn as much as possible about this country.

Of course, the topics are generally related to life and history, and there are no sharp political and war topics.

Everything in the town now looks so harmonious, it is simply peaceful, it is hard to imagine that this place has been bombed twice in the previous half month.

After chatting for more than an hour, as the lunch time approached, Cai Ruichen left.

However, just as he walked onto the street, the general immediately barked, showing his ferocious teeth, and staring at a young man walking by on the west street.

As soon as the young man saw Cai Ruichen, he ran over immediately, crying and shouting as he ran, "Mr. Cai, save me, save me..."

The general reacted vigilantly, and the two mobilized soldiers who followed Cai Ruichen immediately stepped forward, blocked Cai Ruichen, and aimed their guns directly at the young man who ran over.

Two conscripts shouted and warned at the same time: "Stop immediately, raise your hands, or we will kill you."

But the young man was still running fast, and the gunfire sounded decisively, but the bullet did not hit the young man, but the ground under his feet. The young man who was running stopped immediately.

The gunshots and the cries of young people immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

In Warehouse No. 1 of the base behind Cai Ruichen, more than a dozen conscripts came out fully armed to support, and even Natasha appeared on the street immediately.

Upstairs on both sides of the street, some residents also stood on balconies and windows watching the scene.

In the middle of the street, Cai Ruichen saw the young man stop, so he pushed aside the two conscripts standing in front of him, and shouted at the young man who was less than a hundred meters away from him: "Harlan?"

Hearing that Cai Ruichen remembered his name, Harun smiled slightly on his tear-filled face, then nodded, and was about to move on.

But then the general barked again, and the two conscripts stepped forward again, blocking Cai Ruichen with their bodies.

"Harlan, what happened?" This time, Cai Ruichen asked the two conscripts again.

Harun nodded with tears all over his face, and then said: "They asked me to come to you, saying that only you can save me, Mr. Cai, I don't want to die yet..."

Having said this, Harlan began to cry, the cry was very shrill.

Looking at the young man who was probably not yet sixteen years old, crying so miserably, Cai Ruichen's heart became very heavy, and he asked, "What's going on? I'll know if it can be resolved only after you tell me. "

"I have a bomb on me, Mr. Cai, please save me..." Harun said slowly while crying.

"You have a bomb on you, who told you to come to me?" Cai Ruichen immediately became vigilant and asked loudly.

"I don't know, those people tied the bomb to me and said that if they want to live, they will come to you..." Harlan said intermittently.

"Bastard!" Looking at this young man who had met once, Cai Ruichen stamped his feet angrily, his face full of grief and indignation.
