Chapter 952 Why are you here?
Xiao Peng's shock wasn't without reason. The gunshots didn't sound far away. Without a word, he grabbed the Type 95 rifle from the passenger seat—how could the peacekeeping force have gotten a vehicle without some weapons?
After starting the car and turning on the lights, Xiao Peng observed his surroundings. Two figures appeared in the distance, one with a muscular build and the other much smaller. They weren't originally running in this direction, but when they saw Xiao Peng's lights come on, they turned around and ran towards him. It seemed like they were being chased!
The petite figure suddenly fell and tripped. The muscular figure saw this and bent down, carried the petite figure on his shoulders and continued running towards this side.
They had not run far when several figures appeared behind them, obviously holding guns in their hands. It seemed that they were chasing someone.
Xiao Peng pulled the trigger without thinking and fired a volley of bullets.
Life isn't like the movies. In the movies, a volley of bullets can last forever, but in reality, a volley of bullets is gone in about three seconds! The bullets create a beautiful red barrage in the night sky.
"Uh..." Xiao Peng's face was full of black lines. This was the first time he used an automatic rifle, and he really didn't know that this was the effect of the gun.
Although there was a magazine full of bullets in the car, Xiao Peng had never figured out how to change the magazine of this gun!
This is embarrassing...
If they rushed over now, the Type 95 rifle in my hand, which had no bullets, would probably be no use to me. I should have hit them instead of hitting the ground in front of them to scare them!
Fortunately, although Xiao Peng's volley of bullets did not hit anyone, it still had a good deterrent effect. Those people stopped, hesitated for a moment, and turned away.
The sturdy figure carrying the person didn't stop, but accelerated all the way to Xiao Peng's car: "Thank you, thank you, it's a good thing I met you, otherwise... Boss?"
Xiao Peng was also confused: "Kaxin? Why are you here?"
It turned out that the burly man carrying someone was none other than Kashin! Although Xiao Peng could only see the buttocks of the person he was carrying, he could guess her identity with just his heels: It had to be Li Yue!
"Put me down!" the man on Kasim's shoulder spoke.
After Kaxin put her down, Xiao Peng saw that it was indeed Li Yue.
"Xiao Peng! We meet again!" Li Yue greeted Xiao Peng: "You helped me again!"
Xiao Peng quickly waved and said, "Let's get in the car and see if your foot is okay. But why are you here?"
Ka Xin said: "Boss, shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he helped Li Yue into the car, took off her shoes and socks, checked her, and said, "It's okay, nothing serious, just a sprain. Rest and heal slowly."
Seeing how close the two were, Kaxin must have gotten Li Yue. He pulled out a bottle of 'Activating Oil' from his backpack and tossed it to Kaxin: "Apply it to Li Yue's ankles and gently massage them."
He then took out a bottle of cooling oil and threw it to Kaxin: "Use this if you don't want mosquito bites."
Before Kaxin took the cooling oil, Li Yue reached out and took it first: "Oh my God, the thing I missed most in Africa was the cooling oil!"
There's something interesting: if you're going on a tour group to Egypt, the tour guide will definitely remind you to bring plenty of cooling oil. They say cooling oil is more useful there than money, for example, when giving small gifts or tipping.
But this is definitely a 'beautiful misunderstanding'.
Cooling oil is indeed well-suited to Africa, given the high temperatures and numerous mosquitoes. Especially in Egypt, where temperatures are higher near the desert, cooling oil is a real asset for the people there. However, with the increasing number of Chinese tourists visiting, the number of people giving cooling oil as gifts has increased. Tourist guides and vendors at tourist attractions often receive dozens of boxes of cooling oil daily, and with so many, they've become less concerned with the product. The Chinese, however, believe they enjoy it, while the locals, taking advantage of the Chinese custom of giving cooling oil upon meeting someone, have created a "beautiful misunderstanding."
But that's Egypt!
Cooling oil can repel insects and relieve heat. It is definitely a "magic weapon" for residents of the Sahara Desert in North Africa and its surrounding areas. Residents of almost all countries need it, but not all places are as lucky as the Egyptians who have erected several pyramids to attract Chinese tourists. Therefore, the cooling oil that is commonplace for Egyptians is a real rarity in other countries.
In places like Algeria and Morocco, cooling oil is a highly sought-after gift. When Xiao Peng left, Ambassador Chen gave him a large bag of cooling oil. At first, Xiao Peng thought it was like taking off your pants to fart—a waste of time. But upon arriving, he realized the power of cooling oil; it truly could be used as a tip. Giving someone a box of cooling oil is definitely the best way to connect with the locals.
"Boss, why are you here? And you're driving a UN peacekeeping force car? Have you joined the peacekeeping force?" Kasim asked Xiao Peng while helping Li Yue massage her ankle.
Xiao Peng frowned and asked, "Don't you watch the news? I've been in Morocco for a while!"
Ka Xin grinned: "Li Yue doesn't like using her phone or reading the news, so I just do this."
Ever since Li Yue was imprisoned by an NGO, she no longer trusted the media or the internet, trusting only her own eyes. From that point on, she stopped using her phone and began traveling on her motorcycle. It was during this journey that she met Xiao Peng and Ka Xin.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said with disdain, "You guys are really 'the wife sings the husband'. If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you just now. You guys are here to feed me dog food! Walter even asked if he wanted to call you back, but I refused. I didn't expect to meet you here again? When did you get to Africa? What happened just now? What were those people doing? Why were they chasing you? "
He is now full of questions.
But Kasim said, "Boss, I know you have a lot of questions. I have a lot of questions for you too, but... do you have anything to eat? We haven't eaten all day! We haven't even had a sip of water!"
Xiao Peng's face darkened after hearing this: "Did you get robbed? How can it be so miserable? The food and water are behind you, take them yourself. Oh, and wash your hands with the activating oil before eating! If you don't care, there's still Li Yue!"
Kaxin opened the mineral water and washed his own hands and then washed Li Yue's. Then he ate while telling Xiao Peng about his experiences after they separated.
"Boss! I almost couldn't see you!" Kasim said exaggeratedly before swallowing the bread in his mouth.
