The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 198 Dinner
[Fuck, really! !The skill of the anchor is really good!I have a hunch that it will be a hot search on Weibo! ! 】

[666, the anchor is really a genius! ! 】

[Kitten Cat] Reward Airplane*2! !
[Long Night] Reward Rocket*1
For a while, the hot topic of discussion in the barrage shifted from the previous local tyrant's reward to Zhang Xiao's extraordinary skills in the hijacking incident, and he began to talk about it! !

Afterwards, Zhang Xiao checked and found out that there was no other reason.

Well, it's understandable.

However, Zhang Xiao still doesn't understand one thing. Because of this, this Mr. Zheng gave himself a gift worth [-] to [-] yuan?Can't it? ?
Or is this an interview fee for yourself? ?

It seems unrealistic.

Seemingly aware of Zhang Xiao's doubts, Zheng Youcheng posted another barrage: [Hehe, brother, do you know? ?When I watched your live broadcast just now, I saw that you can speak Somali! !And also use the Desert Eagle pistol, good guy, where can such a talent be found! ! 】

[I still want to sincerely invite you to work in our embassy. There are not many versatile talents like you who are both civil and military. It just so happens that our country’s embassy in Somalia also has a demand for translators, especially now that learning these small languages, you can Such proficient talents are really very few! ! ! 】

【How about it?Do you want to think about it? 】

For a while, the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked one after another.
【What? ?Did I hear you right?The anchor can actually speak Somali! ! ! 】

【Mom, how talented is the host really?】

[I'm convinced! ! ! 】

[The anchor is really a god and a man]

[Is this the world of the boss? Why is the gap between people so big?]

【I'm already feeling numb. It's only been a few days since I came to Somalia. Hey, there's so much news out there! ! ! 】

Li Ai has been looking at the phone screen, and has nothing to say at this moment. She looks at Zhang Xiao with a very strange expression.

"Brother Chen, what the hell are you doing?"

But Zhang Xiao indicated with his eyes that she didn't need to say more, and then responded with a wry smile: "Ahem, Mr. Zheng, you really don't need to spend such money, why don't you refund it to you?"

[Hey, don't be polite, how can I give you a reward, give you a gift, and you return the money?Well, you don’t have to express your opinion immediately, think it over again, and contact me again if you are willing.]

"Yeah." Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, "Thank you for your understanding."

[Well, it’s okay, then you have to be very careful in Mosadega, remember to contact the embassy if something happens, I’m still waiting for your interview! ! 】

"OK!!"

While Zhang Xiao was talking with Danmaku, he inadvertently noticed that there was something wrong with the eyes of some Somali people not far away.

To be honest, Zhang Xiao never imagined that in his life, he would experience the time when he was so heavily protected by others.

Although Zhang Xiao was in a happy mood at the moment, such powerful weapons and staffing did not make Zhang Xiao relax his vigilance.

What kind of city is Mogadishu?
Everyone took two cars, Zhang Xiao and Li Ai, and the guide sat in the armored car.

The car has already driven far away from the airport, with all kinds of guns and guns ready, and is heading for the urban area of ​​Mogadishu.

To be honest, no one knows what will be waiting for Zhang Xiao and Li Ai.

A muzzle, a grenade, or a few passers-by were shot to death suddenly on the side of the road, or a mine exploded, causing the limbs of passers-by to fly across the road?

……

Thinking of this, Li Ai shuddered.

Afterwards, seeing her look curious and examining herself, Zhang Xiao shrugged and said with a smile, "I really don't have any legendary past, just some hobbies~~"

"It's just a hobby??"

Li Ai looked like he had seen a ghost. You seem to be so professional in everything you do, just a hobby?

What a joke hey! ! !
The car was driving on a relatively narrow street. Although I had seen a lot of the scene in front of me on the Internet and had already prepared myself mentally, I was still very surprised when I saw it with my own eyes.

At a glance, this is basically a city that experienced the baptism of war not long ago, as if it had been fought on a large scale this morning.

There are quite a lot of pedestrians on the road, but each has a pistol;
It may be because of the poverty, civil war and crimes that have been experienced for too long. Except for the fact that the security captain is friendly and enthusiastic to them because of their interests, what Zhang Xiao sees at this moment, the eyes of all passers-by are basically fear and vigilance.

Zhang Xiao himself was fine with the live broadcast, but when he pointed his phone camera at the militiamen in another car, they immediately became hostile.

Under the consolation of the security captain, he didn't raise his gun and pointed at Zhang Xiao suddenly.

Their guide has long been used to it, and told him that this is normal and there is no need to care.

"Live broadcast is fine, just don't shoot them."

Then, Zhang Xiao said with emotion to the live broadcast room: "Do you know? In fact, in my previous memory, at least around the seventeenth century, the people of Somalia did not always live in turmoil. During this period of time, Somalia It is peaceful and serene, there are no pirates making trouble, and the people's life is pretty good."

"Moreover, the people there are polite and courteous, they pay attention to politeness in speech and behavior, they pay attention to etiquette in social interactions, and they are full of strong national feelings. In the [-]th century, Somalia dealt with our country for the first time because of "Zheng He's voyages to the West" .”

"At that time, Zheng He took the Ming Dynasty's naval fleet to visit along the Atlantic Ocean, including several coastal cities in Somalia and their current capital Mogadishu. The two countries exchanged gifts and the relationship has been good since then."

【Yeah? ?Then why did Somalia become what it is today?]

[Yeah, is it because of being invaded and colonized in modern times? 】

[It seems that the anchor knows quite a lot, so what happened afterwards? ? 】

When Zhang Xiao said this, he paused, and said with some emotion: "Invaded? Colonized? Almost. What a pity!! In the middle of the 19th century, a country that is a shit-stirring country, that is, Great Britain, began to expand and develop colonies."

"In this way, many small and weak countries gradually became colonies of Great Britain, and Somalia was not immune to it, and was later split by the Italian colonial forces."

"Afterwards, you should be able to guess a thing or two. Even if they are independent now, they have been colonized for too long, their consciousness has been enslaved, and the languages ​​and cultures of different places do not understand each other. Some speak Italian and some speak English. Then it was difficult to unify! Later, due to the emergence of warlords, the situation became even more chaotic."

"These Somali warlords basically don't care about the people, they only care about themselves, and the soldiers who follow them are just trying to get a bite to eat and solve the problem of food and clothing. At this time, the Somali society is in turmoil and people's hearts are scattered. It's really dangerous."

"In short, it is a pity that under the ravages of the war, the fine national traditions of Somalia have disappeared. Instead, there are deadly muzzles, hostile eyes, and various crises that cannot be prevented."

Li Ai sighed, and said: "That's why there are so many pirates in Somalia, because many local people can't survive."

"Yes." Zhang Xiao nodded, and added: "In the past, pirates in Somalia became more and more rampant, and there was no one to manage them. But Somalia is located on a major traffic route, which can directly lead to the Suez Canal. There are countless merchant ships passing by every day. So many big countries are in There are troops stationed here, such as the Lighthouse Country."

"Fortunately, Somalia already had a Chinese embassy before the civil war. Later, it withdrew briefly due to the war. But when the political situation in Somalia stabilized a bit, our country's embassy returned to Somalia. The President of Somalia was very moved. "

[Hey, how should I put it, the sadness of a small country, the nature of Angsa people is like this, what democracy and freedom, what humanitarianism? ?it's so funny. 】

[If you fall behind, you will be beaten! ! 】

[I remember the story of Wolf Warriors that happened in East Africa? ?It can only be said that we do not live in a peaceful world, but in a peaceful country. 】

[Yes, cherish peace.Thank you, Brother Chen, for popularizing this science for us~~~]

【The more I know, the more I feel that we need to be self-improvement and be prepared for danger in times of peace! ! 】

As the vehicles continued to drive, soon, everyone gradually penetrated into the urban area of ​​Mogadishu.

The capital of Somalia at this moment brought Zhang Xiao not only shock, but also faint expectations.

Immediately, the guide warned Zhang Xiao, "Don't stick your head out of the car window casually, always be careful of some people who behave strangely on the street, don't let other people approach you, and don't pay attention to other people's chats—they may be human flesh." bomb."

All in all, this "City of Terror" must not be understood with common sense.

What the two of them have seen and heard along the way, plus the guide's very serious reminder, it is impossible for them to say that they are not nervous. After all, they are used to living in a peaceful and peaceful environment, and suddenly they came to such a dangerous place. More or less a little uncomfortable.

Because of the body armor, Li Ai felt a little more at ease.

She hugged Zhang Xiao's arm tightly, and said in a solemn tone, "I hope I can go back alive."

"Yes." Zhang Xiao reassured her, thinking silently in his heart, he has a system, and there is a security team, in short, the risk factor has been greatly reduced.

Zhang Xiao had nothing to do, and continued to introduce to the live broadcast room: "Do you know? Mogadishu's urban area is actually not large, about 20 square kilometers, about 140 million people. The area is only the size of the imperial capital Haidian District About one-twentieth of it. With a place as small as a sesame seed, this city can be famous all over the world. You can imagine how vigorous the Somali people are.”

At this time, the guide laughed and said in very bad Chinese: "Now, the whole Mogadishu knows that there are two Chinese tourists coming here!!"

Li Ai's eyes widened: "Mr. Guide, do you actually know Chinese?"

The guide smiled and said, "Yes, I know a little bit. Otherwise, how can I be your guide?"

Li Ai couldn't help complaining: "However, it sounds like a big star coming to a small place!!"

Zhang Xiaoxie smiled charmingly: "Thinking too much? It just means that the whole city is 'concerned' about us!!"

Li Ai grinned, inexplicably getting goosebumps
Sure enough, the guide then said in Somali: "Tourists like you are the key targets of the militias and mercenaries here!!"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and the guide continued: "It's actually like this. It's very chaotic here, and the people are also very poor. Although they seem to have all kinds of guns in their hands, they don't have unlimited firepower. They want to save money."

"When we have a security team, they know that it is more difficult to rob you and the price to pay is huge, so they will not think about you. The more security you have, the more they will feel that it will cost more to kidnap you. The more you spend on personnel and ammunition, the safer you will be."

What the guide said was quite reasonable, and it was quite economical.

After Zhang Xiao gave Li Ai a rough explanation, she nodded, then looked out the window and said, "What are you talking about? I just observed it for a while, why have we been going around in circles?"

Hearing what she said, Zhang Xiao realized that the car was indeed going around in circles all the time. Zhang Xiao subconsciously thought about it, this car is not a taxi and needs to go around in circles to play the meter, so there is only one possibility left, to go around in circles Probably to avoid being followed.
Zhang Xiao looked at the guide, confirmed it, and nodded with a smile: "As expected of you, you are really smart!!"

Although Zhang Xiao didn't know where the destination of their trip was, he only knew that there was a hotel in the city center that claimed to have the highest "safety factor", and it was probably there that they rested.

After communicating with the guide, it really is true.

The guide smiled and said: "I have to say, you seem to know the situation and situation in Mogadishu very well! If it is not for security needs, you don't need a guide at all!!"

After a while, the car finally brought them to a relatively OK hotel.

Of course, saying it is a hotel is just a place like a broken guest house in China compared to Somalia.

This is a four-story hotel, and all the windows are basically sealed tightly.

In the four corners of the hotel yard, there are actually four watchtowers, which feel like a gun tower; the fence is also covered with barbed wire, giving people a sense of sight of a labor camp
Zhang Xiao took a mobile phone, took a picture of the surrounding scenery, and said with emotion: "Do you know? Don't look at this dilapidated hotel, but it is one of the few hotels with the highest security level in Somalia. "

"In other parts of the world, the star rating of a hotel is based on service and facilities, but in Mogadishu, the only criterion for judging whether a hotel is good or bad is the level of safety."

"As far as I know, many officials from the United Nations, embassies of other countries, and local officials from Mogadishu have stayed here."

That's not bad, at least tonight should be at ease.

When entering, one has to go through the security gate first, and the interior of the car has to be inspected in detail. If it weren't for the guide, Zhang Xiao and the others would have been searched.

Naturally, these militiamen with weapons could not enter and could only guard at the door.

After the tedious security check, you can finally move in.

Entering the room, the windows were nailed with iron plates.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. After putting their luggage away, Zhang Xiao and Li Ai hurriedly took off their heavy bulletproof vests.

"Where are we going next?" Li Ai asked.

The guide glanced at the broken Nokia screen and replied: "It will be past six o'clock soon, and you can stay in the hotel with peace of mind. From now on, you can't go out after five o'clock every afternoon. The night in Mogadishu is very dangerous."

That's fine, so be it.

The two returned to the room and began to pack their luggage.

The hotel does not provide dinner, they can only solve it by themselves.

Fortunately, they brought a kettle with them, so you can eat self-heating hot pot and instant noodles.

【Mom, this environment is too difficult】

[Yeah, I have to say that you guys are truly courageous]

[This kind of place is really scary, anchor, what are you going to do for dinner tonight? ? 】

After seeing this barrage, Zhang Xiao smiled slightly: "What else can I do, eat hot pot!!"

Immediately, Zhang Xiao began to take out things from the suitcase
Two Haidilao self-heating small hot pots, one insulated lunch box with steamed buns, two bags of vacuum-packed sauced beef, and one hot water pot
[I can't, I can't help it anymore, Haidilao self-heating hot pot, my favorite! 】

[Look at the big steamed buns and buns, they are still steaming. Although the quantity is small, they look delicious. 】

[Ah, that piece of sauced beef is so beautiful, look at the color, look at the clear lines, tsk tsk! 】

Anyway, Zhang Xiao was very hungry. Although he ate a lot of breakfast, it was almost five or six o'clock now. In addition, he was in a state of mental tension today, and his energy consumption was a little bit high.

"Hey, it seems that today's lunch can only be taken care of, and I can only eat steamed buns and sauced beef in a small self-heating hot pot."
