The headquarters of Desert Shadow is really in a desert.
After entering Kuwait by sea, Xie Wan and his team drove for most of the day before reaching their destination according to the coordinates.
With Masood, the old man known as the Shadow of the Desert, leading the way, Xie Wan and Xu Bing, wrapped tightly in blankets, successfully passed the outer checkpoint.
In Xie Wan's opinion, this place was more like a heavily defended position.
The barbed wire and artillery positions on the periphery were not much different from what she had seen on the battlefields in South Asia, except that the sky here was filled with yellow sand, making it even more desolate.
"The number one leader of the organization is called Khalid. He is brutal and killed the previous number one leader ten years ago and seized the leadership of Desert Shadow.
It was also after he took office that the Shadow of the Desert changed its previous nature of civilian mutual assistance and began to expand its influence in neighboring countries.
When the time is right, he will definitely launch a war and seize power by force.
The second leader is Suha, who is also a fanatical militant.
If you can really get weapons, he will definitely support you..."
The bearded man explained to Xie Wan the key figures in the headquarters.
After listening to this, Xie Wan decided that none of these people could be kept.
She had no intention of starting a war with Desert Shadow.
Xie Wan kept in mind that she was a cultivator, and that cultivators paid attention to cause and effect. The cause and effect of starting a war were too great, and she was unwilling to bear them.
Of course, if someone else gave her a reason to fight back, then she could just go with the flow.
After a body search, the three finally arrived at the core area.
In an earthen kiln-style house that can be seen everywhere in the Middle East, Xie Wan met Khalid, the number one leader of Desert Shadow.
Originally, Xie Wan thought that this would be a man with a fierce appearance, but he didn't expect to see a handsome middle-aged man.
Healthy wheat-colored skin, high nose bridge, deep eyes and thick eyebrows.
His eyes revealed an innate majesty and confidence.
The black hair is slightly curly and casually draped over the shoulders, adding a touch of casual charm.
The tall and strong figure hidden under the loose robe shows a sense of power.
The white robe fluttered gently in the wind, making her look particularly elegant.
His movements were calm and composed, and every action revealed an innate aristocratic temperament.
Xie Wan is a face-obsessed person. When she saw the man in front of her, she almost immediately decided that if this Khalid was available, she would not kill him.
There was another man in the room, who looked much sloppier.
The look he gave Xie Wan was full of disdain.
Masood introduced that the sloppy man was the second-in-command Suha.
Xie Wan saluted the two of them according to Iranian etiquette.
Khalid greeted Xie Wan in Arabic.
Xie Wan doesn't speak Arabic.
Masood translated for her.
Xie Wan spoke a few words in Turkmen that Wang Xiang had taught her in advance.
Masood translated Xie Wan's words into Arabic.
Then, both of them switched to communicating in English.
Kuwait is a younger brother of the United States, and English is almost a semi-official language here.
Khalid was not surprised at all that Xie Wan didn't speak Arabic. In the Middle East, the languages are mixed, and there are many people in Iran who only speak Turkmen.
The sloppy man just sat in a corner of the room the whole time, neither talking to Xie Wan nor saying hello.
"Since you are our new member, please lift up your headscarf so that I can see what Ms. Astro Boy, who is admired by all the people of Ahwaz, looks like."
Fortunately, Xie Wan was well prepared. Her face under the headscarf was carefully made up. She used eye shadow to deliberately make her eyes bigger, and her nose bridge was also camouflaged to make it look much higher.
Xie Wan opened her headscarf and smiled.
There was a look of surprise on Khalid's face. It seemed that he had the same idea as Xie Wan just now. He thought that his new subordinate should be a fierce woman.
Women have a relatively low status in Arab countries. It’s not that there are no women joining armed groups like Desert Shadow, but most of them have undergone special training and have a tough appearance.
Even after being disguised, Xie Wan was still a beauty, which made Khalid's eyes light up.
"I heard you can get a batch of weapons for the organization?"
"Yes, I wonder if we have any plans to purchase weapons?"
The sloppy man sitting in the corner of the room raised his head and obviously began to listen to them attentively.
There was a strong murderous aura from the man. Xu Bing, who was following Xie Wan, took a step sideways and stood between Xie Wan and the man.
The sloppy man seemed a little dissatisfied and cursed at Xu Bing in Arabic, but Xu Bing remained unmoved.
According to Xie Wan's plan, she would first discuss business with the leader of Desert Shadow.
Doing business is also a process of testing whether the senior members of the organization are available.
If available, Xie Wan would prefer to subdue and train the puppet.
But if they are not available, then we have no choice but to kill them all.
Xu Bing stood in that position in case a fight broke out later so that he and Xie Wanhao could deal with one each.
Khalid said: "When the organization is expanding, weapons are never enough, but it also depends on what kind of weapons you can get."
Xie Wan did not directly answer Khalid's question, but asked in return:
“What do you think of the killing of civilians by members of certain organizations in the past?
How do you view the blind initiation of war and the resulting devastation of human lives? "
Khalid first glanced at Masood, with displeasure showing on his face, but still expressed his personal opinion.
He quoted many teachings from the Koran, but to Xie Wan, Khalid's point of view was that what he was doing was judging the world on behalf of God.
As soon as Xie Wan heard it, he knew that this person was either an extreme religious believer or simply didn't care about the lives of civilians.
She felt sorry for him, thinking that he had such a good-looking face but ended up being a madman.
Xie Wan pretended to say:
"Here is a list given by the other party. You can refer to it."
She gestured to Xu Bing.
Xie Wan took out a list and approached Khalid.
When the list was about to be handed to Khalid, a kitchen knife suddenly appeared in Xie Wan's hand.
Khalid had no time to react before blood splattered from his neck.
"I'm sorry, you're not a god. Even if you were a god, you wouldn't be able to judge the world by slaughtering civilians."
Xie Wan watched indifferently as the handsome Middle Eastern man fell.
When he turned around, he saw Xu Bing's dagger cutting the sloppy man's arm as he was trying to defend himself.
Xie Wan dodged and put the kitchen knife against the other person's neck.
"Don't kill me!" The sloppy man who was so arrogant and unruly just now actually begged Xie Wan.
Xie Wan thought of what Masood said about this militant, and he showed no mercy at all and killed the man.
"You two go out and subdue the others as planned."
Xie Wan sent Xu Bing and Masood away, took out the soul-calling banner, and collected the souls of the two people on the ground.
"Fortunately, I thought the soul-calling banner was ineffective against Muslims. It seems that all the souls in the world are under the control of our King Yama."
