Chapter 999 Independent Information Vendor
Yang Cheng didn't sleep for too long. After only resting for about 2 hours, she woke up to the sound of several unknown waterfowls. The orange sunlight filled the earth, blending with the desert and buildings.
Open the window, you can have a panoramic view of the wide Nile River, palm trees swaying with the wind, sails dotted, a charming scene, this is the wealthy area of Cairo, the overall quality of the people is much higher, and the hustle and bustle of the old city is completely gone, very Tranquil, Yang Cheng even had the illusion of being on the banks of the Thames.
After changing clothes, I went to Hansen's room next to me, and found that they were having lunch. Hansen and the others were not that particular, and each of them had a plate of delicious roasted chicken drumstick rice, which was a joy to eat.
Seeing Yang Cheng coming in, a group of strong men got up and said hello. Yang Cheng had no airs, pressed his hand and smiled, "Don't worry about me, sit down and eat slowly, Hansen, is there any more rice? Give me some?"
"Of course boss, Andrew is just about to lose weight."
Originally, there was no portion for Yang Cheng, but everyone here is a big eater, and no one has at least two portions. Andrew is an exception. He ordered 5 portions, and he was worried that it would not be enough. In the end, he was exploited by Hansen and the boss. I ordered a copy, and I almost cried seeing him like that.
Yang Cheng nodded to Andrew, who was aggrieved and dared not speak, and said with a smile, "You look worthless, as if I didn't fill you up before."
The others laughed mercilessly, Andrew scratched his head in embarrassment, grinned and said, "I'm going to perform a mission in the afternoon, I'm afraid I won't have food tonight."
Holding a plate, Yang Cheng ate the juicy chicken drumstick rice. I don't know what spices were added. A fresh fragrance wrapped the rice grains. While chewing, she asked with concern, "Have you decided on the search and rescue plan?"
This question was asked by Hansen, "Yes, boss, Craig led a team to find information first, and explore the road by the way. We will follow up and follow the most likely route for Eiffel and his party to find a little bit. If an accident does happen, whether it is man-made or a natural disaster, we will find out something, and we can proceed to the next step with specific clues."
Yang Cheng thought about it briefly, and felt that the plan was okay, so she nodded and agreed, "Both you and Andrew go, otherwise I don't feel relieved, leave me a clever brother, and you take the rest away."
But this time Hansen strongly rejected Yang Cheng's proposal, "Boss, Egypt is no different than other places. It is very chaotic. I will personally lead a team to stay by your side. It is no problem to have Andrew in the search and rescue mission."
On professional matters, Yang Cheng is willing to listen to the opinions of experts, "OK~ this matter is up to you~"
After dinner soon, Andrew led the team to set off. It was a 2-hour drive from Cairo to Luxor, but they would not act immediately. They waited for Craig to meet up with the news and then set off overnight.
Hansen stayed by Yang Cheng's side and led a team of four to walk along the banks of the Nile. Yang Cheng looked worried, "Will Andrew and the others run into danger if they march overnight?"
Of course there are dangers, but Hansen can only pick the best ones to ease Yang Cheng's heart and say, "Don't worry, boss, Andrew has rich experience in night operations, and they are all equipped with the most advanced night operations equipment, all of which are Delta's standard." With their strength, they are enough to deal with any threat from people."
Yang Cheng nodded slowly. He was not going to sit still, and told Hansen, "Go out and find a guide, and ask for a detailed understanding of both black and white in Egypt. I want to inquire about something."
Hansen himself does not have such a channel,
But Craig Harrison did, and he called immediately. Not to mention, Craig still has a good candidate to recommend.
"Boss, the person recommended by Craig is in the old town, I'm afraid we have to go there ourselves."
Yang Cheng made a decisive decision, "Let's go~"
Andrew set off and took away most of the Hummer, leaving only the luxuriously modified Hummer that Yang Cheng was riding in for travel. Fortunately, the interior space of the Hummer is large enough to accommodate 6 adults.
Cairo's street layout is very messy, which is also related to the dense tributaries of the Nile River, which cut the city into countless small pieces. Yang Cheng and the others are not familiar with the roads here, and they have gone back many times.
The scene is slightly different from what I saw when I came here. Although the old city of Cairo still cannot get rid of the dirty and messy scene, at least the buildings are relatively complete, and the exposed walls and steel bars are much less.
Cairo is the oldest Christian city in the world. There are many mosques, Christian schools, markets and fountains in the old city. Centered on Khalili Market, it expands to the north and south, including Al-Azhar Mosque, Sa Famous historical monuments such as the Latin Castle, together constitute the ancient city of Cairo, which is also included in the World Heritage List.
In the car, Hansen said that the guide recommended by Craig was named Abraham. He used to be an intelligence dealer in Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, he offended the local warlord and was caught and tortured for several months. His tendons were severed and he became a cripple, unable to survive on the battlefield. He had no choice but to return to his hometown in Cairo. Relying on his past savings, he married a wife and gave birth to a child.
Craig once bought information from Abraham, and even saved his life, which is considered a life-saving friendship.
Knowing that Abraham was leading a group at Saladin Castle through the phone, Yang Cheng and the others had no choice but to pretend to be tourists and visit the famous scenic spots in the old Egyptian city.
Saladin Castle is located on the Muqatam Hill in the eastern outskirts of Cairo. It was built by Saladin in the 11th century to fight against the Crusades. When Yang Cheng and the others arrived at the castle, they immediately saw Abra with a small tourist group. Han, in fact, his appearance is too unique, limping, wearing a white turban, like a pirate, but this pirate is a bit embarrassing, with a flattering smile on his face, courting group tourists from time to time, and mouthing after getting tips Almost behind the ears.
Yang Cheng really couldn't imagine that the intelligence dealer who had been in the Middle East battlefield turned out to be so virtuous.
Hansen explained with a smile, "Boss, independent information dealers like this without foundation, are almost the bottom of the battlefield. They can't get decent information, they need to be both ways, and customers treat them like their biological parents. Information is sold at a high price, and it is not a big deal to be insulted by words. When encountering an unreasonable person who is directly tortured to extract information, he will not be given a penny afterwards, and his life is not as good as an ant."
Yang Cheng gradually restrained her smile. He had never been to the battlefield, but he knew the cruelty of the battlefield, but he was also a little puzzled. In this case, why do people still do this thankless job?
Hansen was also very helpless about this, "boss, the battlefield also pays attention to interests, an organized intelligence group, customers are all top mercenary teams or ZF troops who can afford high prices, some small fish are not qualified at all Buying intelligence from intelligence groups, losing intelligence on the battlefield is tantamount to losing an eye, and the consequences are quite serious.
However, this also gave independent information dealers such as Abraham a living space. Of course, the competition among them was extremely fierce. In order to compete for customers, they often gave away information for free, which led to their own value getting lower and lower. , can be regarded as a vicious circle. "
Yang Cheng nodded to express his understanding, and then they approached the tour group, but they didn't rush to disturb them, but just followed behind silently. The appearance of Yang Cheng and the others did not arouse suspicion.
Abraham, who was at the front, led the team up the stone stairs, explaining in English with a strong Arabic accent, "In order to choose the location of the castle, Saladin stored food in different high places in Cairo. A few days later, only here The freshest food is preserved, and this is the birth of Saladin Castle.
The walls of the castle are 2 meters wide, with an inner city and an outer city. There are 3 museums, the original currency printing factory, etc., because they are still used for military purposes, so you can only visit some areas, and we can climb to the top of the castle in a while. The terrace, from here you can overlook the entire Cairo, and you may even see 2 Great Pyramids, it depends on everyone's luck. "
Later, Yang Cheng and the others hung at the end of the team, and followed Abraham to visit the museum and the printing factory, and finally came to the highest point of the castle, which is the Mohammed Ali Mosque.
Most of the courtyards of mosques have a pool for people to clean before entering the mosque. This pool is made of top-grade marble and looks very high-end. When entering the courtyard of a mosque, slippers are required. In the mosque, you cannot put your shoes with the soles facing down. The dirt was brought into the temple, and Abraham personally placed the soles of each visitor's shoes, very carefully.
Coming in front of Yang Cheng and the others, facing Yang Cheng's playful smile, Abraham couldn't help being puzzled, but then his face changed drastically. Hansen and the others made no secret of their evil spirit. This kind of breath was very familiar to Abraham, and he thought it was an enemy. Looking for the door, intending to run away, it can be seen that Yang Cheng and the others didn't look like they were looking for trouble, so they had to endure the uneasiness and continue to be his tour guide. However, his movements of turning around and peeking at Yang Cheng and others from time to time revealed his inner tension .
The Muhammad Ali Mosque is very spectacular. The neatly shaped arches and round towers are full of magic. After stammering a few words, Abraham separates men and women. This is not a special case. In Egypt, no matter the size, every mosque will mark which direction to face to pray. Of course, women cannot be with men and pray in different places.
After praying, Abraham took the tourists to the terrace and let them move freely to take pictures. Then he walked in front of Yang Cheng step by step. He was nervous and didn't want to lose his momentum. He tried to open his mouth to ask questions several times, but when he came to his mouth, he said nothing. Didn't say anything.
