Doom Smuggler

In a considerable number of old, young, frontier and poor areas, many people still live their lives facing the loess and their backs to the sky, and the per capita annual income may be as little as one or two thousand.

But even in the poorest places, there is nothing wrong with eating a full stomach.

For many people, the problem they need to consider every day is not how to fill their stomachs, but how to control food intake, and strive to lose weight and lose weight...

But a similar situation is obviously unimaginable in a third world country.

"Sir, according to the satellite positioning, if we continue to go north, the next town we will reach is called Abala, which is a town slightly smaller than Gamboma. However, we may pass through some villages during the period, but The village isn't marked on the satellite map, so I'm not too sure."

The communications soldier followed beside Chen Yang and spoke.

"Well, let's take a look around, don't need to have any fixed goals. Go outside for about 20 days, and then start to return to the temporary camp. The area of ​​​​Congo is not large, and I can definitely go back within a month. .”

Chen Yang nodded casually.

"Uh...Mr. Chen, I see that you seem to have something on your mind all along the way. I don't know what you are worried about?"

The communications soldier asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just an unreliable guess. Besides, even if those guesses are reliable, it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Yang waved his hand, he didn't want to talk more about this topic.

And he didn't lie at all, whether the current world will gradually overlap with the world line of the wasteland world really has little to do with everyone in this era.

The catastrophe in the wasteland world will break out, according to the time node, it will be at least 200 years after the current world.

Even if he worked tirelessly to move all kinds of production materials back and forth during this period, it would be difficult to greatly shorten this time node.

Taking a step back, even if the time node is really shortened, and the current world is on the path of destruction that will lead to a catastrophe, everything will develop in the worst way. Similar things are unlikely to happen in a hundred years. occur.

In 100 years, almost all the people who are still alive in the world will die.

So no matter what happens a hundred years later, of course it has nothing to do with the people of this era.

As for what the earth will look like in the future... Didn't a certain great person say that after I die, let him be flooded?

It's just that Chen Yang is more painful.

The eighth-level strengthened body has given Chen Yang a lifespan that far exceeds that of normal people.

And this extension of lifespan will continue to increase as Chen Yang's realm continues to improve.

After Chen Yang completes the evolution of life forms and becomes a real evolutionary, his lifespan will become longer accordingly.

If cataclysms really happen in the current world... then Chen Yang will definitely be able to experience it...

I feel speechless when I think about it...

"Well, if there is anything we need to do, please feel free to speak up."

That's all the communicator could say.

A group of people continued to go north, and saw a lot of wild animals during the period.

Although there is no real grassland in the Congo, the various terrains are quite complex, and there are also a large number of wild animals inhabiting it.

The poor and backward economic situation makes this country unable to carry out modernization construction on its land.

As a result, a large area of ​​the country still maintains the most primitive style, and objectively, it allows the living environment of those wild animals to be protected and continued.

This has to be said to be a great irony.

Only backward humans are friendly to wild animals.

Humans, who are constantly climbing and chasing in the field of technology, are pure nightmares for wild animals.

After giving an opened can of meat to a gorilla who met by chance, a village appeared in the sight of Chen Yang and his group.

The village looks quite large, and it looks like there should be hundreds of people living there.

However, judging from the fact that most of the houses in this village are built of various thatch, it is obvious that the village itself is very poor.

Of course, in a place like Congo, poverty is the norm.

If he really came out of a village like Huaxi Village in China, Chen Yang would definitely think that he had eaten too many poisonous mushrooms, and thus had hallucinations.

He walked towards the village, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, a black girl with a panicked expression suddenly ran out from the village.

Behind the black girl, there are several black men who are chasing while shouting.

The girl spotted Chen Yang's group at the first time, and then ran directly towards Chen Yang. When she got close, she even knelt down in front of Chen Yang with a 'plop'!

Chapter 662.662 The Cleaner

The men chasing after the girl noticed that Chen Yang and his group were not easy to mess with, so they didn't continue to rush forward.

Instead, he stood more than ten meters away, carefully observing Chen Yang and his party with a look of fear in his vigilance.

After all, they have seen many of this fully armed appearance.

It's just that every time I see it, it will bring huge disasters to the village.

Because those soldiers in the Congo, whether they are rebels or official soldiers, there is actually not much difference.

Facing ordinary people who have no ability to resist, these soldiers will all eventually become perpetrators.

"What is she saying?"

Chen Yang pointed to the girl who was kneeling in front of her and kept saying "Ula Ula", and turned to ask the communication soldier beside her.

The official language of Congo is French. Although Chen Yang can't speak French, he can at least tell what is French and what is not.

Obviously, the girl kneeling on the ground in front of her was obviously not speaking French.

However, Chen Yang believed that among the soldiers who followed him, there must be someone proficient in other languages ​​here.

Since the Congo was specially selected as the test site for new weapons, and then this special company was specially arranged to carry out the mission, it means that this special company must be very familiar with this place.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yang's voice fell, the communication soldier directly answered: "Sir, she speaks Congolese, a local language of Congolese. It was originally the mother tongue of Congolese, but with the arrival of the colonists, Congolese The local cultural heritage has been greatly damaged, and the number of people who speak Congo has become less and less.

Up to now, there are only a few million Congolese people who still use Congolese as a language of daily communication. The two Congolese add up.Most of them are in tribes or rural areas far away from cities.As for towns, they are basically mainly in French and English.Colonial aggression, the damage to the colonized side is simply inhumane. "

Congolese?

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "Then what is she going to do? Is she kneeling down to eat?"

The communications soldier scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Sir, allow me to communicate with her in detail. What she said just now was too fast, so I didn't really understand it. Although I can understand Congo, I can also communicate normally in Congolese, but the speed of speech has to be as slow as possible.”

After finishing speaking, the communications soldier stepped forward to help the girl up, and then asked kindly.

As soon as the girl heard that the communication soldier could speak her language, a look of excitement appeared on her face, she hurriedly slowed down her speech, and told the communication soldier little by little what happened to her.

The two communicated enthusiastically, but Chen Yang on the side listened in a daze.

He can't understand a single tone!

Fortunately, this exchange only lasted a few minutes before the communications soldier figured out what was going on.

Turning her head, she said to Chen Yang: "Sir, the reason why she escaped from the village just now is because she doesn't want to be 'cleaned', and those men who have been chasing her want to catch her back for 'cleaning' .”

Ah... huh?

Chen Yang was full of question marks.

Noticing that Chen Yang didn't understand, the communicator continued to explain: "This is actually an ancient custom. Although in our opinion, it is very ignorant and inhumane, it is a very common custom in Africa. Tradition. Although it is rarely seen in cities, this custom is still circulating in the vast rural areas.

The so-called 'cleansing' comes from ancient African beliefs that a woman is tormented by the spirit of her dead husband, which makes her 'unclean', so they must be 'cleaned', otherwise, the Cannot attend funerals or remarry.For those girls who are not yet married, if they lose their parents, they are also 'unclean' and need to be 'cleaned' as well. "

Having said that, the communications soldier observed Chen Yang's expression.

It was found that Chen Yang's expression didn't change in any way, obviously he didn't know the meaning of 'clean'.

So he explained in more depth: "As for the way of cleaning, it is actually done through sex. Women who are considered 'unclean' must have sex with 'cleaners' to wash away the sins in their bodies. "

Only then did Chen Yang's eyes widen, with an incredulous look on his face.

In order to make sure that I heard correctly, I checked with the communication soldier again.

After receiving an affirmative reply from the communications soldier, Chen Yang couldn't help but took a deep breath, and asked with a frown, "Cleaners... who are they usually?"

"Not necessarily. There are so-called professional cleaners who make a living from this, but these cleaners will charge a fee, and the fee is not low. For most poor villages, it is unaffordable. So many villages will choose the nearest one. People who have a certain relationship with the woman come to work as cleaners. For example, this girl, her father died, if she is arrested, she will be forced to have a relationship with her uncle."

The communications soldier sighed, and continued: "It's not just this bad behavior of forcing sex, what's even more frightening is that because the cleaner can't wear any protective measures, and at the same time will frequently have sex with many people, causing many Cleaners are actually carriers of serious diseases, such as AIDS.

Through this "cleaning" method, the cleaners will infect the diseases they carry to the "cleaned" people. Over time, it has caused the spread of AIDS here, causing many people to be inexplicably infected, and then in pain. died a tragic death. "

Listening to the communication soldier's explanation, Chen Yang was really disgusted.

It's already the 21st century, and this bad habit still exists? !

The key is that after listening to it for a while, everyone knows that it must be unreasonable.

In China, even in the most ignorant feudal era, it is impossible for such a magical custom to exist.

On the contrary, the more ignorant and ignorant we are, the more Chinese people pay more attention to the defense of men and women.

How could it be possible that there is a custom of 'cleaning' like here?

Crazy...

"Ask her, how do you want us to help her?"

Chen Yang said.

After a while, the communication soldier turned his head and said to Chen Yang: "She said that she didn't know, because she had only been to the nearest town as far as she could, but she knew that the 'cleaning' thing must be wrong. Yes, she went to school when she was a kid, so she would like us to take her to the nearest town if possible.

She can work as a nanny for a rich family, or do other things within her capacity. In short, she is not afraid of hardship. As long as she has a job, she believes that she can support herself.But there was no way she could have escaped the village without help.Sir, look..."

Chen Yang nodded without any hesitation: "Take her and let's go together."

"Yes, sir!"

The communications soldier happily agreed.

Chapter 663.663 A Helping Hand

Although the girl couldn't understand what Chen Yang was saying, the communication soldier explained it later.

Knowing that the group of people in front of her promised to take her out of the village and send her to the nearest town, the girl suddenly showed surprise.

The whole person looked visibly rejuvenated.

Even though Chen Yang and his party are very strange to girls.

And with such a fully armed appearance, it is very difficult to mess with at first glance.

But from the girl's point of view, the group of people in front of her had the patience to listen to her, so compared with those people in the village, they would treat her better!

Her mother died when she was born.

A few days ago, her father also died of illness, and the girl now can be said to have become a real orphan.

Just 15 years old, in first world and second world countries, should be studying in school, enjoying the happy student time.

But in this country in front of her, she has stopped going to school for three full years.

Once she is taken back to be 'cleaned' by the people in the village, according to the rules of the village, after being 'cleaned', she will be arranged by the village head to marry a designated person as his wife.

This person is usually an older bachelor in the village, or someone who is already married but has better conditions in the village and can support a second wife.

In short, girls themselves have no right to decide.

Her parents are dead, and other relatives have no direct blood relationship with her, so her future life must be decided by the village chief.

This is a rule that has been handed down since ancient times. No one in the village thinks it is wrong or inappropriate, and even thinks it is natural and justified.

But the girls themselves don't think so.

When she was young, she was sent by her father to a simple school not far from the neighboring village, where she went to school for several years.

Therefore, compared with other people in the village, she has a more specific understanding of the world.

Not as muddled as others.

At the beginning, despite the opposition of almost everyone in the village, her father insisted on sending her to school to learn knowledge for a few years. In fact, the main reason was that the school was built with the help of caring people.

The poor in the surrounding villages go to the school, and not only do they not charge tuition fees, they even have a meal at noon.

This meal is extremely important for families in many villages!
