In the evening, a Jeep Wrangler sped across the gloomy plains like a dragon dozens of meters long. The diesel engine roared endlessly.
Inside the Jeep, Chen Chen sat in the back seat, silently looking at the fading afterglow in the sky like he was looking at a bonfire that was slowly dying out.
As he had talked for a long time with the person in charge of the Rössing Uranium Mine, it was already dark when he was about to return to Walvis Bay.
Apart from Chen Chen, the driver Cheng Cao, Qian Wenhuan, and Wang Liang were also in the car.
The Jeep was not moving fast. After all, there were no street lights on the roads in Namibia. If not for the Rössing Uranium Mine nearby, there would not even be a flat asphalt road here.
Wang Liang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took out a pack of Furong Wang cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed one into the mouth of Cheng Cao who was driving beside him. Then, he took one for himself.
"Click!"
There was the sound of a lighter. Wang Liang lit the cigarette in his mouth, then covered the flame and moved to Cheng Cao.
The interior of the car was instantly illuminated by the light of the lighter, making it even more difficult to see outside the window.
Chen Chen subconsciously turned around and saw a few scattered spots of orange light flickering on both sides of the road outside the window.
At the same time, there was a sudden ear-piercing sound of an engine behind them. It seemed that a high-powered car was speeding up and catching up.
"Ninety-degree left turn."
Chen Chen suddenly spoke without warning.
Wang Liang and Qian Wenhuan, who were lighting Cheng Cao's cigarette, were taken aback. However, Cheng Cao did not hesitate at all. Almost as soon as Chen Chen spoke, he turned the steering wheel to the left!
"Screech!"
The sudden turning force caused everyone to tumble to the right. Chen Chen took this opportunity to look out the window, only to see that the car's tires had run over a row of dark things!
Tire blowers!
At the same time, Chen Chen heard a gurgling sound in his ears. It was a special pronunciation that included inhalation and tongue flicking.
"Zulu?" Chen Chen could not help but look behind him. He could vaguely see seven or eight figures. If not for the cigarette butt in their hands, these people seemed to have merged with the night.
There was a violent jolt under them.
Although they had avoided the tire blowers, the Jeep had also deviated from the main road and drove directly on the potholed plains.
At the same time, a pickup truck behind them gradually caught up.
"Turn back to the main road, or we'll get lost!" Chen Chen reminded.
"Alright!" Cheng Cao ignored the pickup truck that was getting closer and closer behind him. Instead, he turned back and drove the car toward the main road again.
"Boss, what happened?"
Only then did Wang Liang recover from his shock. Chen Chen and Cheng Cao's actions had left him dumbfounded.
"Did he encounter a robbery?" Qian Wenhuan was relatively calm. He just kept looking behind him. "They're driving so fast. Aren't they afraid of overturning?"
"It's not a robbery. They're here for us."
Chen Chen pulled out the gun at his waist and aimed at the driver's seat of the pickup through the rear window.
"B-Boss …" Qian Wenhuan was shocked. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene at the shooting range in Switzerland …
Bang!
Sure enough, there was a sudden explosion beside his ear. Qian Wenhuan hurriedly covered his ears, only to feel the world spinning!
At the same time, the windshield of the pickup behind him suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The entire vehicle flipped into the air and then fell heavily!
Boom!
"..."
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Even Qian Wenhuan was completely stunned. Only Cheng Cao was still driving calmly. Other than glancing at the rearview mirror, he did not even have the slightest change in expression.
Then, the jeep returned to the main road, and it didn't slow down at all from the beginning to the end.
However, at this time, there was only silence in the interior of the car.
Chen Chen skillfully reloaded the gun as if nothing had happened and switched off the safety. All that was left was the sound of the shattered windshield whistling in the wind.
"Uh, Boss..." Wang Liang, who was in the passenger seat, asked tentatively after a moment, "Shouldn't we call the police?"
"And then?" Chen Chen glanced at Wang Liang expressionlessly.
For some reason, Wang Liang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if he was being watched by something. He subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words.
"The Glock 18c is a fully automatic weapon. Calling the police will cause a lot of trouble."
Cheng Cao, who had been driving, suddenly said, "Besides, if this is an operation targeting the boss, calling the police won't be very useful."
"I, I see..." Wang Liang smiled awkwardly.
"The other party was speaking Zulu, which belongs to the Bantu branch of the Congo language family. This language is spoken by very few people in Namibia," Chen Chen explained mildly.
"Huh?" Qian Wenhuan was still rubbing his ears. "Boss, how did you know it was Zulu?"
"When I came to Namibia, I read a few books on African languages on the plane," Chen Chen said.
Qian Wenhuan immediately fell silent.
"I made the sudden turn because I noticed a tire burst device on the road."
Cheng Cao continued. "Since the other party isn't a Namibian native and specifically set up a tire burst device, it goes without saying that they're up to no good. So, Boss, shooting just now was the most decisive choice.
"After all, this isn't Mainland China."
At this point, Wang Liang, who originally thought that Chen Chen's methods were too harsh, was completely speechless.
Fortunately, there were no more incidents along the way. The four of them returned to Walvis Bay without a hitch.
When they got out of the car, Chen Chen instructed Qian Wenhuan, "Tell the Namibian officials about this. Don't go into the details, just tell them that we were attacked by foreign forces and ask them to send troops to protect me."
"Okay," Qian Wenhuan answered decisively.
"Also, because of this incident, I won't be leaving the hotel for the time being. I'll leave it to you to negotiate with them," Chen Chen added.
"Understood." Qian Wenhuan nodded solemnly. "I know what to do."
After returning to the room, Chen Chen first checked all the windows and rooms. After making sure that there were no problems, he closed the curtains and sat on the sofa, deep in thought.
What he did not mention in the car today was that Zulu was the main language of the Rainbow Nation.
As one of Namibia's neighbors, the Rainbow Nation and Namibia had a long history. When Namibia was founded, it was independent from the Rainbow Nation.
Now that he was going to build a nuclear power plant in Namibia, some people were starting to get restless.
The Rainbow Nation did not want to see a neighbor that was gradually becoming stronger, even if there were signs of it, especially when they were growing weaker by the day.
In the 1990s, the Rainbow Nation was second to none in Africa. Not only did they have a prosperous economy, but they also had a strong military and once possessed nuclear weapons. However, they had long since declined and were no longer as prosperous as they once were.
Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared in Chen Chen's eyes. He picked up his phone and pressed the program to connect to Little X.
"X, hack into the Rainbow Nation's Department of Defense and search for all information related to me."
After thinking for a while, Chen Chen added, "At the same time, check all the calls made by the Namibian officials to the Rainbow Nation today. Send me a list of their official ranks from highest to lowest."
"Understood, Dad!"
