Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Leba...
Chapter 86
The official language of Lebanon is Arabic, and the common languages are French and English. Coincidentally, He Ling majored in English and French at university, and later took international law.
He Ling came to Lebanon two years ago. In an environment full of Arabic, he actually quickly mastered a foreign language.
The day before yesterday, he was planning to go to Beirut International Airport to fly back to China, but the airport was bombed, so he had to go to another airport.
The bus driver was killed by a stray bullet, and then the bus was hijacked by a group of insurgents on the road. Because he had a pass and passport issued by the embassy, he was spared from being robbed and killed, but he was still abandoned on the road.
The various forces involved in the civil war will indeed not touch the people in the embassy, but sometimes the danger does not only come from them, but also from some rabble and ordinary people who just want to survive in the years of civil war.
So He Ling was still robbed, and the robbers were a group of children around ten years old.
In the end, He Ling lost everything except the briefcase slung across his body, even his glasses.
Having said that, if Weisheng had not appeared in time, the briefcase on him would definitely not have been saved.
When he was in the most embarrassing moment and saw the person who was least likely to appear here, He Ling's first reaction was that he was hallucinating. When he was sure that he really saw Weisheng in a ghost place like Lebanon, He Ling was stunned.
Look at Weisheng, then look up at the sky.
Could it be that this damn place also has the weather you want to study?
After listening to Weisheng's story about his experience of escaping a hijacked plane while the hijackers were transporting hostages, He Ling looked at Weisheng with a hint of sympathy. "The embassy is in Beirut, and this is Tripoli."
Weisheng blinked, then blinked again, and looked at He Ling with a very bachelor attitude, "Is it far?"
He Ling: "Not too far, just over 100 kilometers."
Wei Sheng was about to nod and say something when he heard He Ling say, "We will pass through four civil war forces along the way."
Weisheng: ...That’s quite far.
After the plane landed, the robbers took away everyone's passports. Weisheng handed in his passport and then lined up to get off the plane with his luggage as requested by the robbers.
Weisheng has a lot of space and always travels light. This time he got off the plane with only a backpack.
After getting off the plane, they were driven to a lounge on the second floor. Weisheng took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, opened the bathroom window, and then hid in the space.
When the robbers arranged a transfer vehicle and were ready to take away the hostages on the plane, they discovered that Weisheng was missing.
When I checked the passports one by one, I found that only one Greek passport was unclaimed.
Yes, a Greek passport.
Weisheng used her Hong Kong household registration to buy an apartment in Greece and later successfully obtained a Greek green card.
Just when the robber was about to take the passport, Weisheng took it out without thinking.
The robbers assumed that even if Weisheng escaped, he wouldn't be able to leave Lebanon without his passport. Since Weisheng had handed over a Greek passport, and the Greek Embassy in Lebanon was in Beirut, they were certain that even if Weisheng could escape, he wouldn't be able to reach Beirut.
But how could they know that Weisheng had no idea about Lebanon except the war.
He Ling told Weisheng about Beirut and Tripoli.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Weisheng stayed in the restroom until midnight before quietly leaving, fearing he'd run into robbers again. He was being incredibly cautious. After finally leaving the airport, he ran into He Ling again.
When Weisheng learned from He Ling where the embassy was and that the airports in Beirut and Tripoli were suspended due to the civil war, he became a little angry.
It was only when He Ling arrived in Tripoli that he realized the airport here was also out of service. Originally, he had the attitude of staying here if he couldn't go back for the time being and being buried wherever he died, but for some reason, after seeing Weisheng, he felt anxious and irritable.
Either take her back to the embassy as soon as possible, or find a way to bring her back to China. We absolutely cannot let her stay in the war zone like this, knowing nothing about it.
Weisheng was going to the embassy with the intention of returning home as soon as possible. Now that she had met He Ling, she didn't want to stay in Lebanon anymore.
Thinking of Ning Chaoyun and Ming Yichen in China, Weisheng wished he could fly a helicopter back himself.
He Ling was not sure whether he could bring Weisheng to Beirut safely, and he did not know how long they would have to wait at the Beirut Embassy before returning home.
Looking at Weisheng, whose expression was obviously gloomy, He Ling sighed and said in a gambling tone, "...There is a port in Tripoli, and there are often cargo ships going to and from the Syrian port of Tartus. We can find a way to get to the port, and then take a ship to Syria from there, and then return home from Syria."
In addition to cargo ships, there are also some small ships at the dock. If the weather is good, it will take only a few hours to reach the port of Tartus.
The Tartus Airport in Tartus Port only serves domestic flights, but they can fly from there to the nearest city of Latakia, where they can take international flights back home.
By the way, the distance between Tartus and Latakia is only 100 kilometers.
Weisheng was a little confused and felt that the names of these cities were similar, but she still decided to adopt He Ling's plan to return home.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
The most important thing is that Weisheng doesn’t understand Arabic. If she doesn’t listen to He Ling, she doesn’t know whether she can meet a local who can speak English, French, or even German.
Thinking of a piece of data he had seen before, which said that there are at least 300 million people speaking Arabic in the world, Weisheng decided to teach himself Arabic after returning to China this time, just in case.
Neither of them was the type to drag their feet, so after deciding on the route back home, He Ling asked Weisheng to paint her glowing white face black and let her hair down.
Although many foreigners find Asian faces somewhat flat and dull, good-looking people are actually recognizable everywhere. Ruo Weisheng showing up in a war zone with this face... too conspicuous.
Weisheng listened to the advice and took action as soon as He Ling finished speaking.
Without any hesitation, she took out a box of dark powder from her cross-body bag and poured half of it on her face quickly and violently.
The little face, which was just glowing white and as delicate as egg blue, instantly turned gray.
Weisheng hid in the space for most of the day. When he came out, he changed his clothes, restyled his hair, and replaced his backpack with a cross-body bag.
She was originally afraid of being recognized by the previous group of people, but Weisheng didn't expect that her previous disguise would be meaningless when facing a more severe environment.
After all this trouble, I'm afraid only her parents can recognize her.
Hehe, with how much those couple dote on her, maybe even if she turned into the White Bone Demon in the future, they would be able to tell which pile of bones were hers and which were others'.
Thinking of the couple, Weisheng's hands moved faster.
After his face turned black, Weisheng combed all his hair up and finally put on a baseball cap.
After thinking about it, Weisheng took out a black hooded jacket from his cross-body bag and zipped up the jacket to the top. While protecting his neck, the shape of the jacket also covered half of his body.
Anyway, after some deliberate sprucing up, it's not as conspicuous as before.
He Ling watched Weisheng prepare his disguise with his own eyes before taking him towards the port.
They walked so cautiously and evasively along the way that even Weisheng, who had seen a lot of the world, became subconsciously nervous.
If they simply walked from the airport to the port, they would have to cross half the city on foot. But if they just picked up a car, they would be too conspicuous and easily become a target for missile tests.
He Ling has been here for more than two years, and no one knows better than him how terrible this hellhole is.
Some forces and some rabble-rousers that are not even forces, like stragglers, like to treat pedestrians as targets. They shoot when they see people walking and fire cannons when they see cars passing by.
There's no strategy, it's just pure fun taking people's lives.
If those people found the woman beside them, they might not kill her right away. But she would probably be in a state of suffering worse than death.
In this hellhole, the best thing you can do is run into the so-called regular army, because the regular army at least takes the international impact into consideration.
He Ling had no intention of covering up for this place. He told Weisheng everything that had happened before and what they might encounter in the next meter. He also told Weisheng how to call for help if they were in real danger.
Anyway, no matter how you call for help, shouting "Help" is completely meaningless.
In addition, He Ling also told Weisheng not to feel any sympathy or pity for the children on the street, because you can't save them, and you will put yourself in greater danger.
Looking at He Ling, who led him forward while whispering to him how to survive in a war zone, Weisheng thought: After traveling through time for so long, she seems to have never encountered such a thing.
Then I looked up at the person walking in front of me, and a very strange feeling of being moved arose in my heart.
How long has it been since she had someone protecting her?
It must have been a long time.
Although this man definitely can't beat me~
←_←
As they passed a broken wall, Weisheng suddenly grabbed He Ling, who was walking in front of them, and took him to hide behind the nearest bunker while He Ling was stunned. As soon as they hid, a bullet grazed their clothes.
"Bang!"
'Bang!'
'Tatttatt~tatttatt~tatttatt~'
First there were three gunshots. When they didn't hit Weisheng and the others, someone shouted something that Weisheng couldn't understand, but it should be Arabic. As the words fell, there was another burst of machine gun sounds.
It looked like he was determined to shoot them to death.
Weisheng hid behind the shelter again and pulled He Ling, whose back was exposed, inside.
"What did that Arabic sentence just now mean?"
"...dirty words." He Ling didn't imitate the dirty words, but said to Weisheng with great certainty: "You react very quickly."
If the woman in front of me hadn't held me back, I would have been turned into a sieve.
Weisheng nodded, "I know some martial arts."
He Ling didn't question Wei Sheng upon hearing this, but curled his lips, "Then our chances of survival are increased by another 10%."
He Ling had been worried about Weisheng's physical strength before, but now that she heard with her own ears that she had practiced, she was no longer worried that Weisheng would not be able to reach the port due to physical reasons.
However, if you want to successfully board the cargo ship when you arrive at the port, you will probably have to go through some trouble again.
Thinking about all the cash he had on him, He Ling became worried that when the time came, he would encounter a market premium when he tried to sneak into Syria on a cargo ship.
Weisheng: "Well, my parents are still waiting for me to go home." So she must return home alive.
Hearing footsteps, Weisheng turned to look in the direction of the shooting and saw three guys with guns walking towards them. Weisheng narrowed his eyes, with murderous intent clearly hidden in his eyes.
She is not a good person to begin with. If there really is some force or organization that influences her to go home, then don't blame her for letting down her international friends.
"They're coming."
He Ling also saw the person coming, so he quickly took out a small flag and embassy pass from his briefcase, ready to show them when the person approached.
it's useless!
It was obvious that the three men were not regular soldiers. Even though He Ling's actions were very reasonable and legal, they were not prepared to let them go.
Weisheng didn't understand anything about the conversation between He Ling and the three people, but from their tone and body language, Weisheng knew that they didn't reach an agreement.
Since we couldn't reach an agreement, let's use her method.
