Yu Yang was not in a hurry, which did not mean that others were not in a hurry. Some of the other tourists looked at the armed men at the door with some worry and then at Li Mi.
"Mr. Li, when can we retreat? I'm afraid of staying here. There are guns and cannons. What if I am accidentally injured?"
At this moment, a shell landed on a street not far from the hotel. A huge explosion sounded. The glass of the hotel was shattered. Several white people who were lying on the hotel glass watching the scene outside the window were immediately scratched by the glass.
Hurt, screaming loudly, the people stranded in the hall looked at each other, and immediately gathered around, a group of people in a mess.
Li Mi had sweat dripping from his forehead. He kept looking out the window, took out his mobile phone, and while dialing, he communicated with the others: "Don't worry, everyone, you will be fine soon, don't worry!"
Li Mi had no choice. The order he received was to rush to Nikolayev overnight and take away all the sixteen Chinese tourists stranded in the city. However, when he arrived, the hotel was already controlled by armed elements.
He still spent a long time trying to convince the doorkeeper to let him in, but it was easy to get in and difficult to get out. Now the soldiers guarding the door wouldn't let them evacuate. Now he could only stay in the hotel and wait for the latest news without any news.
The solution is to park the evacuated vehicles in the hotel parking lot, but being unable to get out of the hotel is a big problem.
After a few minutes, Li Mi hung up the phone and looked at everyone: "Don't worry, everyone. The embassy has sent a meeting notice to the Ukrainian side. There will be a solution soon. The lobby is a bit chaotic now. Let's go to the rooms first."
Take a break and I will notify you as soon as there is news, so don’t worry!"
"No, Mr. Li, I received the message that we can evacuate today. Our rooms have all been checked out. My luggage is all here!"
"Yes, our room has also been vacated. If I had known better, I would not have vacated the room!"
Yu Yang and Lao Fu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Most of the people retreating with them were young people in their twenties, and there was also a pair of people in their forties who looked like a couple.
There were a group of people carrying cameras and other things. Apart from the couple who looked nervous, there were also people holding video equipment and taking pictures, as if they were not in a hurry at all.
"Go to my room. There are two rooms upstairs for the two of us. If we all get together, we can act together when there is news. Mr. Li, didn't you say there are more than a dozen people? Why are we the only ones?
Where are some others?"
"There are several people in another hotel, and there are other people looking for them. Do you have any friends on the other side?"
Yu Yang shook his head: "No, come with us. We have two rooms upstairs. Let's have a good rest. I believe Mr. Li can handle it. I just asked the hotel waiter. This happens often here.
A conflict of this scale, after the battle is over, we can retreat!"
Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief. The hall was so chaotic that he had to shout to speak, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons. He was afraid that something might happen to his compatriots, so he immediately clapped his hands.
"Everyone, listen to me. Let's follow Mr. Yu to their room to rest for a while. After I receive a call from the embassy, I will take everyone to evacuate together. Don't panic, I believe the country will not be left behind.
Yours!"
Li Mi's words had a certain effect, but there were still two young people who were unwilling to go upstairs, holding cameras and video recorders: "You go ahead, we will stay in the lobby, don't worry, we won't run around.
After you receive the notification, just contact us and we will take some photos!"
After Li Mi heard this, he frowned. A woman next to him pulled one of the women who didn't want to go upstairs: "Okay, Datou, please don't cause trouble to Mr. Li. Let's go, let's go upstairs."
!”
The two young men followed them upstairs reluctantly. There were six of them in total, four men and two women. The four younger ones were together and there was a couple. Lao Fu gave his room to them and stayed with Yu Yang.
Together, after Li Mi arranged them, he came to Yu Yang's room: "Thank you, thank you very much. It would be great if this group of people were like you. Hey, it's so messy!"
Li Mi wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't sleep last night, and today is a mess again. It can be said that he is exhausted physically and mentally. After Yu Yang heard this, he handed over a bottle of water: "Mr. Li, you look a little tired?
Is there any bad news?"
Li Mi smiled: "Hey, it's nothing. I'm just worried about accidents happening to those children. Hey, I really don't want to stay at home. Why are you here? Traveling abroad. There are so many safe places in the world. Why are you here?
." Half of what Li Mi said seemed to be meant for Yu Yang and Lao Fu.
"Well, we are just ordinary tourists, what's wrong?"
Li Mi waved his hand: "I don't know about you, but a few of them, forget it, they are famous for their troubles. Our embassy has issued a yellow warning for Ukraine tourism before, including about Nikolayev
It was a red danger alert, but they insisted on running over. Before, three of them were men, and they had gone to Syria and Iraq to take photos and videos in the firefight area. They almost couldn't come back. They still don't have long memories.
, by the way, what about you?”
Many times, tourists traveling abroad must check the official website of the Chinese embassy in that country in advance. Generally speaking, there will be some precautions. If the country may be unsafe in the near future, there will be three levels: yellow, orange, and red.
Early warning, generally speaking, if a red travel warning is announced, travel is prohibited, and the safest level is green.
However, there are often a group of people in China who are not afraid of death. They will go wherever there is danger. A few days before Yu Yang came, it was exposed on Weibo that several Chinese young men went to a certain city in Syria to travel and take photos, and even tried to commit suicide.
They took pictures on the ruins where there was a firefight between government troops and a certain organization. Netizens commented that these people are giant babies and are causing trouble to the country.
If this group of people encounters any problems, the country will eventually have to step in to solve them, and Syria has been on a red tourism alert for a long time. If you are just curious, there is no problem in going to some areas controlled by government forces, and the risk factor is not high.
But I had to die in some firefighting areas. Fortunately, I was discovered early and was pulled back. Otherwise, I might have seen some beheading news on Al Jazeera.
Yu Yang smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, Lao Fu and I came directly from Romania to handle some matters. When we came, we forgot to check the official website of the embassy, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
!”
Li Mi shook his head: "It's okay, it's not a big deal. Every time the government troops here fight with the red armed forces, there will be some tourists stranded here. Just wait until the battle is over. Don't worry, there are still a few other people staying in this hotel."
Our hotel is a neutral zone, and generally no one will come to make trouble. These anti-government armed people are not stupid and dare not touch foreigners like us!"
"That's good. With your words, we have the confidence in our hearts!"
Lao Fu gently pushed Yu Yang and blinked. Yu Yang immediately understood that Lao Fu wanted to ask about the ashes of several comrades stored at the airport.
