After entering the urban area of ​​Damascus, Wu Chunying made a phone call, presumably to report the situation to her superiors. Then, the driver left first, leaving the car with Xue Chen and the other two.

Wu Chunying drove the car in front of a restaurant, turned to Xue Chen and said: "Let's have some food now. We don't have time to rest. Next we have to go through Damascus to a place thirty miles away."

"Okay." Xue Chen had no objection.

After a simple and quick meal, the two returned to the car and passed through the urban area of ​​Damascus. Soldiers and policemen with guns could be seen everywhere along the way, as well as the portrait of the country's president.

After entering the city from the west of Damascus, the two left the city from the east, passing by in a hurry without stopping at all.

"According to today's latest news, representatives sent by the Free Army chose to conduct transactions in a ruined town. We will go there now and hope to catch up without delay."

Wu Chunying's driving skills are very good. Although the road is full of potholes and the driving speed is fast, she does not feel any bumps.

The thirty-kilometer journey is not far, and it took almost half an hour to get there.

"Is this here?" The car slowed down, and Xue Chen also looked out the window.

There should be a town outside, but it has obviously become an empty ruin. There are buildings everywhere that have been baptized by shells and are riddled with holes. Seven out of ten buildings on both sides of the main road are half-baked.

It collapsed, and there was not a single intact window.

There was no one at all, not even a wild cat or dog. Everywhere was empty. Occasionally the wind would blow by, and a puff of dust and white garbage would be blown up, making the town even more desolate.

"There was a firefight here, and everyone has evacuated." Wu Chunying squinted her eyes and looked outside.

Xue Chen asked: "What should we do now?"

"Find the tallest building here, and the transaction will be carried out there." Wu Chunying drove the car deep into this abandoned town, crushing over the garbage and construction materials scattered on the road, making a clicking sound.

This town is not very big. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people lived in the past. The two of them easily found a tall building in the local area. Although it was the tallest, it only had seven floors.

This seven-story building has not escaped destruction. A huge gap has appeared between the fourth and fifth floors, occupying almost one-third of the main body of the building. It must have been bombed by missiles.

Wu Chunying did not drive directly to the building. Instead, she chose to park the car in a yard a few hundred meters away. The courtyard wall covered the car well and would not be easily seen by others.

The car turned off, and Wu Chunying stretched out her hand towards Xue Chen: "Bulletproof vest, pistol."

When she saw the body armor and pistol appearing out of thin air in Xue Chen's hand, Wu Chunying's eyes fluctuated slightly and she nodded in praise. It was such a magical ability.

Both of them put on body armor under their coats and put pistols on their waists. Then they got out of the car, left the yard, and walked toward the seven-story building.

Stepping on the broken bricks and tiles on the ground, looking at the deserted town, Xue Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, war is really terrible. In the past, his view of war only stayed at a very superficial level, but now it is really

I was deeply touched.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Xue Chen felt that someone was peeping at him and Wu Chunying in the dark. The peeping feeling came from the seven-story building, so he stood on the spot, looked over, and activated both perspective and eagle eyes.

ability.

Wu Chunying saw Xue Chen suddenly standing there, and looked back in confusion. When she saw Xue Chen looking at the seven-story building, she didn't say anything in a hurry.

With his clairvoyance ability, the floor slabs of the building were quickly penetrated without any hindrance, and he saw the inside of the building. He looked online layer by layer, carefully observing what was going on inside the building to avoid what would happen.

Something unpredictable.

"Huh? Someone!"

On the seventh floor of this building, he saw some people.

"Xue Chen?" Wu Chunying cast a questioning look.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go." He didn't say anything.

The two came to the downstairs of this building and vaguely saw some plaques hanging on it. It seemed that it used to be a department store.

The two chose an entrance and entered the building. As expected, the interior was in a terrible state. Forget about the elevator, even the stairs were broken into pieces, with big holes exposed in some places. If you were not careful, you would fall down.

As soon as they reached the sixth floor, several men with guns suddenly came out of the darkness, pointing their guns at the two of them, with probing eyes.

Xue Chen glanced at these men who were wearing shabby clothes and felt a ferocious aura. These were men who had actually fought on the battlefield, and they were definitely killing without batting an eyelid.

Wu Chunying calmly explained in English the purpose of their visit, which was for the unmanned aircraft.

A man with a turban on his head walked out. He looked at the two of them and nodded, and said in English with a half-smile: "Welcome."

As expected, both men were searched and their pistols were taken away.

The two of them were taken up to the seventh floor. Of course, there were at least three guns pointed at the two of them during this process. There was no doubt that if the two of them made any moves that they shouldn't do, they would be shot immediately.

baptism.

The two were taken to a simple room, which looked like it had been used to run an errand. There was some waste paper and dust all over the floor, but a table and a few chairs were left behind.

Xue Chen and Wu Chunying were sitting across the table from the man with a gray turban on his head. There were several people standing guard with guns around them.

The man introduced himself as a representative sent by the Free Army, named Gassani.

"These two look like East Asian faces, which country do they represent?" Gassani asked, squinting his eyes.

Wu Chunying still answered in standard English: "Mr. Gassani, this has nothing to do with our transaction. What you need is U.S. dollars, and what we need are drones."

Gassani nodded slightly: "That's very good. It's true. It doesn't matter which country you two come from, as long as you bring enough money. Now, have you brought 10 million US dollars?"

?on the car?"

Wu Chunying did not answer this question directly: "I brought the money. If you want to see it, you can see it at any time. But before that, what about the drone? Should we also have a look?"

"No problem." Gassani leaned back on his chair, took out a mobile phone from his pocket, lit up the screen and handed it to the two of them.

On the screen of the mobile phone was a picture that seemed to have been taken in a mountain forest. The subject of the picture was a gray-black airplane, but it was obviously damaged. One of the wings of the airplane had been broken off.

"Is this that high-tech drone?"

Xue Chen looked carefully and caught a glimpse of Wu Chunying's serious expression. He knew that it was the plane.

His eyes moved and he asked, "Where exactly is this?" As soon as he finished asking, he immediately activated his mind-reading ability.

Gassani glanced at Xue Chen lightly, with mockery in his eyes, and continued: "Of course it is in our hands. Now, you see, this is the plane you want, as long as you give me the money,

You’ll see us soon.”

The moment the two looked at each other, Xue Chen obtained a lot of information from this man's heart, which was also the man's true inner thoughts.

"It's really stupid. Do you think I can say that? Want to get the plane? Just dream, we don't want to provoke the US military. If we really sell this plane, the US will definitely retaliate against us."

Hearing this true inner thought, Xue Chen frowned slightly and realized that getting the plane was not an easy task.

In fact, he had already realized the problem, because in other similar rooms on this floor, there were also some outsiders, obviously buyers, who might have been fooled by Gassani. As for whether those people had

If you pay, you don't know.

"I seem to know where the picture just now is..." Xue Chen spoke again.

Gassani sat up straight and stared at Xue Chen: "What did you say?"

"Is that Pameng Mountain?" Xue Chen asked.

Hearing the name of the mountain spit out from Xue Chen's mouth, Gassani breathed a sigh of relief, with some displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice: "If you want this plane, then

Bring the dollars to me immediately."

Wu Chunying glanced at Xue Chen and felt a little strange. She felt that Xue Chen seemed to talk a bit too much. Or was it Pameng Mountain? What kind of mountain is this? He must have never been to this country.

But she didn't pay too much attention, and instead focused more on dealing with Gassani. Seeing Gassani insisting that he wanted to see the money first before taking the next step, she was not stupid, and of course she understood that she couldn't

Then hand over the money casually.

However, if the other party insists on this, what should we do?

For a moment, the room became quiet.

Gassanillo said impatiently: "My time is precious. If you are not willing to take the money, then I can only sell the aircraft to others."

Wu Chunying was a little undecided. If she didn't pay the money, she would obviously not be able to see the plane, and there would be no hope of completing the transaction. However, what if there were problems in the middle after taking the money?

At this time, Xue Chen on the side spoke again: "Mr. Gassani, we are willing to take the money, but the money is not here. The two of us need to go back and get the money."

"Get money? That's great." Gassani grinned, "But for safety reasons, only one of you can leave to get the money, and the other one has to stay here until the money is delivered.

In front of me."

hostage?

There were some subtle changes in the expressions of Xue Chen and Wu Chunying.
