Shafei ordered his men to invite Dingye and Xianmeng. A convoy of off-road vehicles lined up in front of the hotel. Zhang Youbin and Shafei got into the same car, while Dingye and Xianmeng sat behind them.
of a car.
After getting in the car, Shafi took out a pistol, handed it to Zhang Youbin and said: "Andy, take it, it's prepared for you, Beretta 92F."
Zhang Youbin took the pistol, played with it for a while, and said with a smile: "Do you have any good stuff here?"
Shafi boasted: "There are a lot of good things, and Americans have the most. I have almost all types of US military individual weapons. I even have anti-tank guns, but not many people buy them."
"Is it peaceful on this road?" Zhang Youbin put away his gun and asked.
Shafi thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. Anyway, there are people who specially eat people who pass by to Golden Crescent, but there are so many of us, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhang Youbin nodded and said no more. The car drove quickly on the highway to the border, his eyes staring at the scenery outside the window.
After nearly 6 hours of driving, when the car arrived at the border, Shafi left most of his entourage waiting in a small town near the border, while he, Zhang Youbin and others walked across the border under the leadership of local people.
crossed the national border.
In this triangular area formed by the borders of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, the concept of national borders is relatively vague. There is a golden crescent in the middle, and the golden crescent has become a no-no zone in the middle of the three countries. No one is willing to recognize the golden crescent.
The moon belongs to one's own country, and no one is too lazy to wade into this muddy water. Only under these conditions can the Golden Crescent survive.
The guides are several villagers from the local town. They are all personnel arranged by Karzai on the periphery. They are responsible for meeting the drug lords and transportation personnel who come. They have their own network of relationships and special exit routes. Although the journey is relatively long,
It was bumpy, but no official personnel showed up, and safety was well guaranteed.
Because Jin Xinyue is located in the mountains, it was really difficult for Dingye, an old man who was not in good health, to walk all the way. He was panting and sweating profusely all the way. However, for the sake of the peace of his hometown, he did not regret it at all.
The meaning of retreat is actually a bit ironic. At this time, drugs have become a necessary item for social order and stability in the underground circle.
When we arrived at Randygaotu, a plank road town on the border, we could already see the tight security here. A large part of Jin Xinyue's heavily armed troops were stationed here, and it has also become the place where Jin Xinyue's drugs flow to the world.
Departure station.
According to the rules, everyone who arrives at Landigaotu and attempts to continue to Golden Crescent must be inspected here. During the inspection, all guns and communication equipment will be confiscated. When the guide hands over Zhang Youbin and others to the local armed forces,
The captain led a group of soldiers to surround them and said, "Please tell me your identity and enter the house for inspection."
Among Zhang Youbin's group, the only slightly familiar face was Xian Meng. The others, including Shafi, had not been to Golden Crescent for a long time. Just as Xian Meng revealed his identity and prepared to
When I entered the house for inspection, a convoy of several armed off-road vehicles drove over in the distance with sand and dust flying all the way.
The car stopped directly in front of Zhang Youbin and others. A tall figure jumped out of an armed off-road vehicle in the middle. Zhang Youbin smiled at him, and the man rushed up and hugged Zhang Youbin tightly.
"Andy! I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for several years. How are you doing?" the visitor asked excitedly. This person was Karzai.
Karzai was different from Shafi. Zhang Youbin really got along with him as a friend, so Zhang Youbin seemed very happy to see Karzai. He put his arm around Karzai's shoulders and said with a smile: "I've been doing very well recently. Isn't this right?"
Have I come to see you?"
Karzai waved to the convoy behind him, and seven or eight officers in camouflage uniforms got out of several cars. They all ran up to Zhang Youbin with a smile. No matter they were old or young, they were all very respectful.
Said: "Hello, instructor!!"
Zhang Youbin was very happy when he saw that everyone was a familiar face. He could even call each of them by name. Several years had passed and no one had changed much.
Xianmeng was stunned. He had only heard that Zhang Youbin knew Karzai, but he did not expect that the relationship between the two would reach this point. Although he was surprised, he did not forget to explain in a low voice in Master Ding's ear: "Master Ding,
That’s Karzai.”
In addition to being shocked and surprised, Master Ding was also thankful that with the relationship between Zhang Youbin and Karzai, his trip would definitely not be in vain.
Karzai's arrival made the soldiers who were surrounding them consciously step back a few meters and put down their guns. Karzai put his arm around Zhang Youbin's shoulders and shouted happily to the people around him.
: "This is the instructor Andy from four years ago!"
This sentence made people around and even nearby and far away cast surprised glances.
Four years ago, Zhang Youbin, Vasily, and several other bloody brothers received the mission of Karzai's release and helped Karzai defeat another armed organization, which confirmed his status as the boss of the Golden Crescent.
.
Moreover, after the mission, Zhang Youbin and Vasily were invited by Karzai to help him train his soldiers. They stayed in this high mountain for half a year. At that time, Zhang Youbin was the only one who was impressed by his professional skills.
All Soldiers of the Golden Crescent.
To this day, the outstanding soldiers who were brought out by Zhang Youbin have become the protectors of Jin Xinyue, and they have continued to use the training methods that Zhang Youbin once used for their own troops.
Every time a new soldier joins, they always have to explain the legend of how Instructor Andy turned a bunch of ragtag soldiers into special forces soldiers who could outnumber ten.
At Karzai's invitation, Zhang Youbin and Karzai got into a car, and Dingye and the others were treated well because they were Zhang Youbin's friends. Randy Gaotu was not Karzai's real friend.
The base camp is still a certain distance away from the core of Golden Crescent.
It was a feast for the eyes along the way. It was his first time to come to Jinxinyue. When he saw the camel teams outside the window specially used to carry drugs out of the country, he couldn't help being surprised. He asked Xian fiercely: "Camels are used to transport drugs out of the country here.
Drugs?”
Xianmeng laughed and said: "These camel teams are used when crossing the desert. Generally, camel teams are used to transport people across the desert. After leaving the desert, other methods are used."
Master Ding nodded slightly. This place was like a guerrilla base. There were soldiers in twos and threes everywhere. Guns were almost everywhere. Even the camels carrying various light weapons were carried on their backs.
In the car, Karzai asked happily: "Andy, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time? Those little bastards said today that if you don't stay here for a month, they will never let you go."
of."
Zhang Youbin smiled apologetically and said: "I'm afraid I can only stay for a few days this time. I'm taking on a long-term mission. This visit is also a part of the mission. I want to buy some goods from you, brother, to China."
Karzai said with a look of frustration on his face: "How can we stay here for a few days? No, we haven't seen each other for so many years, no matter what, we have to stay here for ten days and a half."
Zhang Youbin said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid it really won't work this time. I still have a lot of things to do in Yanjing, so I can't delay it." When Zhang Youbin saw the displeasure on Karzai's face, he smiled and said: "But you
Don't be angry. After this task is over, I think I'm going to take a long vacation. I'll have a lot of time then. As long as you don't dislike me, I can just stay with you."
Karzai recalled some of the rumors he had heard and asked curiously: "I heard that Bloody is now laying off employees? And I haven't heard any news about any big missions from Bloody for a long time. What is going on?"
Zhang Youbin smiled slightly and said: "We can't rely on this for our whole life. What I mean is that everyone has been working hard for so many years. It's time to live a peaceful life."
Karzai asked in shock: "What? Are you all ready to take over the mountains?"
Zhang Youbin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You can put it this way, after I take over this task, I should quit."
Karzai pondered for a while, then suddenly showed a very proud smile and said: "Why don't you come to my place?! I don't want you to shoot and kill people. Come back and become an instructor for me. I will definitely not treat you badly, brother."
of."
Zhang Youbin smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk about this later. I really want to live an ordinary life. After so many years, I am really tired."
Karzai understood that there was no rush in all this, so he smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have arranged a banquet tonight for you and those guys to have a good time together."
Zhang Youbin smiled and said: "Okay."
But there is one thing I am embarrassed to say. Most of the people here believe in Islam, and they have always strictly enforced the prohibition on alcohol. No drinking banquets... it would not be interesting to think about it.
