government building.

After Chen Xi and the others got out of the car, they were taken inside and detained with other foreign nationals.

He looked around and saw that the building had been severely attacked, with some of the walls damaged, which showed how intense the previous firefight had been.

In another room, Karika and Imani were filming Majuguli and Lovasa with a camera.

"Dear Tanzanian compatriots, I am your General Shuga! The country's economic development has stagnated for years, and people's quality of life has deteriorated. This is all because major powers control too many of their resources, signing numerous unequal treaties with the former chiefs… Look at our country! Cocoa beans are being snatched away by the French at bargain prices, and uranium mines are being emptied by the Americans on credit! Our fishermen are fishing under the guns of foreign fleets, and our children are dying in front of exorbitantly priced medicines from Belish pharmaceutical companies! From today onwards, all the unfair terms imposed by foreign companies are null and void! The Dutch flower farms are being nationalized, and the UAE port leases are being terminated immediately! We will rebuild an Africa that belongs to Africans with machine guns and hoes! This is not a coup, it is destiny! The army will take over all key departments until the remnants of colonialism are eradicated. By this time next year, every Tanzanian child will be able to eat a free lunch!"

Karika's speech played repeatedly on the old, static-filled television. In the video, the muffled thud of him pounding his chest pierced the thin tin roof of the slum.

It must be said that Shuka's words were quite appealing. There are poor people everywhere, and as long as you say a few words promising to protect their interests, some bold people will stand up to support you.

However, Shoja did not have a good reputation in Tanzania. He had a dark history of burning, killing, and looting when he was a warlord, so much so that people who knew about these things did not really believe what he said.

Smart people know that Kariga's aim is to establish a military government, and his statements on television are merely a means to gain the loyalty of certain individuals.

Majuguli and Lovasa sat silently in their chairs. Shuga knew they wouldn't cooperate willingly; he just wanted them to appear on television. His purpose was twofold: to demoralize the troops at the front and to embarrass them.

"The Great Chief Sangxing has been killed. If the generals at the front can lay down their weapons and pledge allegiance to me, I guarantee that everyone will be promoted. After all, the future military government will need your talents..." Shoujia became more and more excited as he spoke.

in an office.

The man was sitting on the sofa, happily sipping his wine and watching TV. He had no idea that a man in a white robe had slipped into the room.

"Haha, those commoners are a bunch of idiots. Once things are settled, we'll negotiate with the major powers in private and get them to fully recognize the new government. Their interests will still belong to them, and our interests will still belong to us..." the man muttered smugly.

A muffled thud came from his head, and the man collapsed onto the sofa, spilling the wine in his hand all over the floor.

After successfully launching a sneak attack, the man in white walked to the sofa. When he saw the person who had been knocked down, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

However, a moment later, his attention fell on a small notebook on the coffee table.

After picking up the notebook and flipping through a few pages, the white-robed man's gaze gradually turned angry.

Chen Xi, who was being held captive, was sitting there resting with his eyes closed, while Zou Huajian across from him was still muttering incessantly: "When are they planning to kill us? According to the plot of the movies, they'll definitely take us hostage. Then they'll negotiate with other countries in front of the TV. Usually, they'll kill someone first as a show, and I don't want to be the first one..."

"Does it matter whether you're the first or the last? You're going to die anyway, right? As the saying goes, the sooner you die, the sooner you're reborn. Is it really necessary to worry about this so much?" Qian Jiajia said sarcastically.

"What do you know, you little brat? All you do is defend Xiao Chen. I bet you two are already dating. Let me tell you, this guy even fooled us. He's obviously been sleeping with a lot of women before."

"You filthy-minded, cowardly bastard. We're not in that kind of relationship. The vice president didn't tell you the truth for everyone's sake. With your trembling behavior, if you had said you weren't coming here earlier, you probably wouldn't have gotten on the bus, and we would all be finished."

"Now it's all over, isn't it? This kid was pretending to be profound with his eyes closed, but he's probably scared out of his wits."

Zou Huajian's voice grew louder as he spoke, and the two white-robed men guarding them showed signs of impatience. One of them strode over and drew a short knife from his waist.

Upon seeing the knife drawn, Zou Huajian shut his mouth in fear. He fell to the ground, rolling around like an eel.

The man in white glanced at Zou Huajian, snorted coldly, and then looked at Qian Jiajia.

It would be a lie to say Qian Jiajia wasn't afraid. Seeing the man in white standing in front of her with a knife, she nervously closed her eyes.

"Hey."

Just then, Chen Xi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

The man in white turned his head and looked at the young man sitting on the ground, his eyes gradually becoming strange.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then the man in white suddenly crouched down and aimed his knife at Qian Jiajia's back.

Lying on the ground, Zou Huajian quietly opened his eyes, and what he saw almost scared him to death. From his angle, it seemed that the other person was repeatedly stabbing him with a knife.

Holy crap, she only said a few words and got stabbed so many times. Then what if I said even more than her...?

Thinking of this, Zou Huajian's emotions surged, and he fainted from fright.

A few seconds later, Qian Jiajia's eyes widened as she stared at the broken rope in her hand, her mind filled with questions.

She looked at the man in white with a puzzled expression. He took off his mask and grinned at her.

"Is it you?" Chen Xi and Qian Jiajia spoke at the same time.

Standing before the two was Officer Ahmed!

Chen Xi had never dealt with Ahmed, but he knew the local chief of staff, who showed him Ahmed's file and told him to contact him if he needed anything.

"Give me your phone." Chen Xi stretched out his hand to Ahmed after freeing himself from the restraints.

Ahmed shook his head: "There are signal jammers in the building."

Chen Xi glanced at his phone, his brow furrowed. He said in a low voice, "I need to go outside to make a call."

"Are you crazy! Just stay here and I'll find a way to get you out of here. But before that, we need to rescue Majuguli!" Ahmed put his hand on Chen Xi's shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"Think of a solution? There's no time for you to think about it. Just do it my way."

"..."

Faced with Chen Xi's persistence, Ahmed was speechless for a moment.

"Haha, look at those two guys' performance in front of the camera, their faces are uglier than if their whole family had died. I need to go take a break, my mouth is all dry from talking. Brainwashing the common people isn't really my thing, I'm better at cheering on the army..." Shoujia laughed as he walked out of the room.

“Wait, now is not the time to rest. We still need to stabilize the people of Lionhead City and the soldiers who just surrendered. I will present you properly to everyone. Remember, be careful with your words and actions; you are the future Great Chieftain!” Imani grabbed his arm.

"I know, I know. It's just pretending to be cultured, it's such a hassle." Karika withdrew her hand from the office door and waved it helplessly.

The man in the white robe hiding in the office was sweating profusely with fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no sound outside.

More than ten minutes later, on the street.

Wearing a white robe, Chen Xi walked calmly out of the government building. Just as he was about to take out his phone to check the signal, he was suddenly bumped into.

The instant he frowned, something hard had already wedged itself under his armpit. It was a brown-covered notebook, its rough cover rustling against his white silk robe.

"Ok?"

The person who hit the other and the person who was hit froze simultaneously. Their surprised and bewildered gazes met.

"Wow!"

Just as the other person was about to speak, they were pushed aside again.

A group of Black people rushed into the street as if they had seen a big star, shouting, "General! General!"

Chen Xi and the man in white robes were pushed and shoved into the street. No matter how much they resisted, it was to no avail, because there were just too many people around. In the cacophony of sweat and prayers, a worn-out sandal flew out from the crowd and hit Chen Xi on the shoulder.

Fuck, laptop!

The white-robed man, having lost his belongings, cried out inwardly as he watched his target being pushed aside.

However, Chen Xi was also being pushed around uncontrollably, and didn't even notice the guy.

At this moment, Karika walked down the street with a smile and waved. Occasionally, there were also enthusiastic fans who had been arranged to come forward to shake his hand, but they were ruthlessly pushed away by the guards.

"Alright, alright, everyone, don't worry, Lionhead City will soon return to peace."

"May God grant you peace, brothers of Islam."

"I will lead Tanzania to prosperity! Everyone will have enough to eat. What? Bananas? Of course, there will be plenty!"

Karika did a good job of putting on a show, and answered everyone's questions one by one.

Just then, Chen Xi was pushed into the street. He turned around with his notebook in hand and bumped into Shu Jia face to face.

He was still in a daze, his mind completely blank.

Karika stared at the white-robed man who suddenly stood up for a long time. Although he was wearing a mask that covered his nose and mouth, it was still clear that the person in front of him was Asian, and his skin was fair, unlike most people.

Thinking about it, the foreign players Imani brought this time come from all sorts of countries, and there are quite a few Asians among them.

Soon, Karika smiled inwardly. This was nothing more than an actor arranged by Imani.

He glanced at the notebook the other person was holding, and without expression, he snatched it away. To Chen Xi's astonishment, he slightly raised his right hand.

The guard handed Chen Xi a pen, and without even glancing at the words on the notebook, Shu Jia quickly wrote down his name. Afterward, the guard shoved the notebook into Chen Xi's arms and pushed him into the crowd.

"Who wants an autograph? Opportunities are running out!" Karika laughed and continued walking forward.

Oh my god, oh my god.

Chen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief after escaping a disaster. It took him a lot of effort to finally squeeze through the crowd.

Arriving at a deserted alley, I opened the notebook I had just used, and the name that Shoujialong had just written in a flamboyant style came into view.

This handwriting is even uglier than mine. If my great artist father were here, he would probably complain for at least half an hour.

Hey, what is this?
After flipping through a few pages, Chen Xi's expression gradually became more interesting.

outside the city.

Dragging his injured body, Ao Debiao limped along, pushing his damaged Type 38 bicycle.

His body is so weak that it seems a child could knock him over.

"I can't give up yet, I still have a wife and children..."

"For my family, for Mane, for my beloved bicycle, I cannot fall!"

O'Derbiao muttered mechanically.

He walked for an unknown amount of time before finally arriving at the destination designated by his boss.

Seeing the tightly closed gate and the armed guards on the high platform, he did not hesitate and continued to move forward.

"Halt! This is the production area of ​​Zijing Mining!" shouted the guard on the high platform.

Zijing Mining is the company that Chen Xi couldn't help but complain about countless times when he was a stock investor in his previous life.

They have a security force of over 100 people here, some of whom are retired soldiers from China. In terms of both numbers and equipment, their security force is among the best, with an annual security budget of nearly six million US dollars.

It has everything from mine-resistant vehicles and drone monitoring stations to high-precision sniper rifles.

This year, the security team has achieved remarkable results, having repelled three attacks by local militia and seized dozens of AKs.

It's worth noting that just recently, a Chinese-owned company in the area suffered a loss of nearly $20 million worth of ore-washing equipment after more than 2,000 villagers stormed into its mining area. The fact that Zijing Mining has managed to remain unscathed in this remote region of Africa speaks volumes about its capabilities.

“My name is Ao Debiao, I’m not a bad person. I… my boss sent me here for help. I need to see your leader!” Ao Debiao shouted, waving his hands.

Facing the dark muzzle of a gun above, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.

But he encountered far more dangers along the way; he was chased by wild animals, threatened by thugs, and robbed by gangsters.

He overcame all the dangers he encountered by relying on his agile movement and intelligence.

Now that the mission is finally about to be completed, Odbiao will not give up easily no matter what.

"I want to see your leaders!" Audebiao shouted again.

Seeing how persistent the black man was, the guards above contacted the security captain via walkie-talkie.

A moment later, a middle-aged, balding man in a white shirt followed the security captain to the gate, cursing and swearing: "Damn it, wasn't making a phone call enough? They had to send a black guy too? This is a Chinese company, and they keep bringing up the embassy. I'm not an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."

On the watchtower, the bald man looked down following the captain's gesture and saw a black man waving at him.

“I am Li Dehuai, the person in charge of the mine. Your boss has already spoken to me on the phone. This is a Chinese enterprise, not a military camp. Send troops to rescue it? What will happen to the mine then? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? You should know that there are plenty of people outside who are eyeing this opportunity to take advantage of our misfortune. I suggest you contact the embassy…” Li Dehuai said slowly and deliberately through a megaphone.

When he arrived, Audrey had already memorized his boss's words. After listening to Li Dehuai's words, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket.

The guards above, seeing this, assumed the black man was about to pull out a weapon and all pointed their guns at him.

"Don't shoot, I have no weapon." Audrey hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully unfolded the cloth bag.

A bright flag fluttered in the wind in his hand, and the sunlight made his figure appear exceptionally upright.

"There are still many Chinese compatriots in Lionhead City! Are you just going to stand by and watch them die?" he shouted, raising his flag.

Li Dehuai's eyes widened, and then he burst out laughing. Turning to the person next to him, he teased, "Look, a black guy is waving our national flag to save Chinese people. This plot is more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster!"

However, none of the soldiers around him laughed out loud.

Li Dehuai was extremely embarrassed. He shouted again, "Your boss called me before. It's ridiculous. He said he was sent by the government to Africa to promote the Silk Road, but he doesn't have a specific position. How am I supposed to know if he's telling the truth? Now he's sent you, a black guy, to put on a show. Does he think I'm stupid? There are Chinese people in the city, but that should be handled by the military and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We only have a little over a hundred people here. Even if we send them all, what can they do?"

Chen Xi did call him, but the actual content was not as he described.

Because Li Dehuai did this intentionally; he now desperately wants Chen Xi to die in the city. (End of Chapter)
