Chapter 315 An irresistible condition
The people in the bus were already in a panic, and Ji Feng, as the leader, had to keep calm.
Facing the armed men's guns, he first calmly stepped forward and expressed his willingness to cooperate, and then relied on his language advantage to persuade the other party to put down the gun.
After a few minutes of communication, Ji Feng finally understood the other party's requirements.
Fortunately, they did not intend to completely "detain" their group of people, but asked them to stay on the spot and wait for review.
After figuring out his intentions, Ji Feng felt a little relieved.
This at least shows that our side will not be in too much danger in a short period of time.
He expressed his gratitude to the other party against his will, then returned to the car and informed the driver to drive to the parking spot designated by the other party.
Looking at the people in the car, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Everyone, listen up, we have to stay here to rest for an uncertain time."
"Don't worry, they just want to check our passports."
"If everything goes well, we may be able to pass in a few hours."
"So, everyone please stay calm. Unless there are special circumstances, it is absolutely forbidden to get out of the car."
"If you want to get off the bus, report to me first and I will communicate with the other party."
"Be careful, everyone must not do anything extreme or anger each other. This will only bring trouble to you and all of us."
"have you understood?"
Reply messages from other vehicles came through the intercom. Ji Feng breathed a sigh of relief and then informed everyone to prepare their passports and wait for inspection.
However, what surprised him was that the armed men who had clearly promised to check immediately did not get in the car.
It wasn't until he almost lost patience with waiting that the armed man who had communicated with him before finally waved him over.
After several conversations, the other party's fox tail finally came out.
Want money.
And, it still costs a lot of money.
Twenty thousand dollars per person, no room for negotiation.
The anger in Ji Feng's heart suddenly burned up. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in the friendliest tone possible:
"We really don't have that much money. As you can see, these people are ordinary workers, not corporate executives."
"Maybe we need to discuss it carefully. Twenty thousand dollars is too much and we can't come up with it."
"What's more, no one would carry that much cash with them."
According to Ji Feng's thinking, exaggeration is a common problem among these little black people.
They will always first offer a price that is unacceptable to you, and then lower the offer through negotiations again and again.
The final transaction price may even be one-tenth or even a few tenths of the original price.
In other words, in the end, if you spend $20,000, you may be able to get it done for a few hundred or even dozens of dollars.
"There can be no discussion without discussion."
The armed man's tone was cold, and the muzzle of his gun was raised subconsciously.
Ji Feng quickly took two steps back and said repeatedly:
"I'll go talk to them first and then give us some time."
"hurry up!"
The other party still answered stiffly, with an extremely cold expression.
Something's wrong
Ji Feng returned to the car and explained the situation to everyone.
As he expected, the entire group immediately split.
Someone in the team actually brought more than 20,000 US dollars in cash, and they immediately planned to pay the money to pass the customs.
However, Ji Feng just thought about it briefly and rejected the proposal directly.
The reason is simple, there is no transportation.
There are less than 10 people who can afford the "ransom", and it is impossible for me to allocate a separate bus for them to use.
There is still more than a hundred kilometers from here to Port Sudan, and it is impossible for them to walk there.
There was a buzz of discussion in the bus, and someone said:
"Their price is too unreasonable. Even if we have money, how can we bring so much cash?"
"Can I use valuables to offset it? If possible, it would be better to discuss it with them."
"Yes, people have to go there first. It's too dangerous here and lives matter!"
"Who doesn't know that life is important? The problem is that we can't pay them now - just ask them if they have a POS machine to transfer money."
"Brother, you have been in Sudan for how many years and you still don't understand? We are still under financial sanctions here, so international credit cards cannot be used at all."
"That's weird, how do they expect us to pay?"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Ji Feng's originally worried heart suddenly calmed down.
Yes, this request is extremely unreasonable.
It can be seen that their true intentions have not yet been exposed.
So, he quickly said:
"Everyone, don't worry yet."
"The other party's purpose is nothing more than to ask for money, but you can also see that the way they ask for money is unreasonable."
"So, they probably haven't discussed it yet - let's keep communicating first and then wait patiently."
"At the same time, I will contact the embassy to seek their help."
"Don't worry, as long as they want money, we won't be in much danger."
After hearing his words, everyone finally became quiet.
Yes, as long as you want money, it basically won't kill you.
As long as you don't die, everything is fine.
At this moment, many people on the bus suddenly had a thought in their minds:
If I had known that I would have to pay back the money I earned, I would not have come in the first place.
After calming everyone's emotions, Ji Feng immediately contacted the embassy using a satellite phone. After learning about the situation here, Lin Tao told Ji Feng on the phone that they would immediately organize communication and plan to solve the problem through high-level relations with the Revolutionary Front.
At the same time, Port Sudan will also take simultaneous actions to try to enter the interior and take the initiative to pick up people.
Ji Feng put down the phone and was convinced that with official action, his own safety should be no problem.
At most, it will delay for some time.
We still have supplies in the car, so we should be able to last for a few days.
With this in mind, everyone rested in the car until the evening. Some people got off the car to rest. It was convenient and they did not encounter any difficulties or threats, which made the atmosphere in the car relaxed a lot.
——
However, this relief only lasted a few hours.
That night, a series of gunshots broke Xinkat's tranquility.
Ji Feng woke up in horror, and when he looked out the car window that day, a horrifying scene appeared in front of him.
Several men who looked Arab at first glance were taken to the roadside, and the black men stood directly behind them and shot them.
Blood flew everywhere, and the large-caliber full-power bullets shattered their skulls. From a distance, those people's heads looked like apples that had been bitten several times, incomplete.
Ji Feng's hands trembled. He picked up the satellite phone and after connecting it, he immediately said:
"We need support!"
"The problem needs to be solved as soon as possible, they are killing people!"
A few minutes later, 052C received information about Karat.
Hu Shuming frowned and asked in a somewhat disbelieving tone:
"Are these people crazy? This kind of stall is asking us for money?"
"They actually dare to kill people. Are they not afraid of causing international disputes?"
Niu Xiaopeng, the diplomat accompanying him opposite, shook his head and replied:
"It doesn't matter if they are crazy or not, these people are just here to make money."
"Even within the Revolutionary Front, there are actually many factions."
"Obviously, the people in Sinkat are not the same group as the people in Khartoum. They are not very controlled by Hamidi."
