Chapter 1428: The Desert Smoke Rises Straight

At the same time, Su Shoudao, after a day and a night of flying, finally arrived in Syria.

He did not have the treatment of riding a Concorde like Ye Chen; he could only fly towards the Middle East, and after landing in Turkey, he had to take road transport overnight to cross the border and enter northern Syria.

The moment Su Shoudao stepped onto Syrian soil, he even had the urge to die.

Because he was smuggling into the country, the vehicle drove him along the way, avoiding cities, which shocked him at this desolate country.

This riddled country was full of deserts, hills, and dilapidated villages and towns.

The endless desert and mountains immediately reminded him of a line from an ancient poem: "The desert smoke rises straight."

After going hundreds of kilometers deep into the Syrian border, he had a realization in his heart: if Ye Chen didn't nod, he would never be able to leave Syria in his life. Not to mention that he didn't know anyone here, just his face, which was vastly different from those around him, destined that it would be difficult for him to walk out of this country.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with despair.

He had thought that his despair had already reached the Mariana Trench and it was impossible to be more desperate, when he finally arrived at the armed zone occupied by Commander Hamid.

When the car drove into the valley, the fortifications on the mountains on both sides were under intense construction.

Hamid's friend, who ran a construction team in Iraq, arrived in Syria in just over ten hours for the sake of money, and now he had begun to direct his workers, along with the engineering company Hamid had just formed last night, to work hard to build fortifications.

Su Shoudao looked at the desolate valley in front of him, the soldiers with live ammunition around, and the permanent fortifications under active construction, and wailed in his heart.

"What the hell is this place?!"

"Located in the middle of ten thousand mountains, the traffic is extremely blocked, and the level of development is far inferior to a small mountain village in China..."

"Those who don't know would think this is a base behind enemy lines during the War of Resistance Against Japan..."

Su Shoudao thought with tears in his eyes that if the TV series "Bright Sword" were moved here to be filmed, it would definitely be more realistic than the version currently popular on TV!

Just when he was crying without tears, the motorcade, led by a military convertible jeep, stopped in front of Hamid's command post.

As soon as the car stopped, Hamid, wearing camouflage, walked out excitedly.

The people who escorted Su Shoudao were Chen Zekai's men, but Hamid didn't know any Chen Zekai. He only knew that among the people who came, one was the guy Ye Chen wanted to "foster" here, and the rest must be Ye Chen's men.

Ye Chen was not only his noble person, but also his God of Wealth and his strategic commander-in-chief, so he was also full of enthusiasm and respect for Ye Chen's men, hoping to bring this enthusiasm and respect back to him through his actual actions.

Seeing Hamid walking out with big strides, Su Shoudao's heart skipped a beat.

He thought, "This guy looks imposing; he must be the boss here."

When Hamid came out, Su Shoudao was also dragged down by several of Chen Zekai's men.

Seeing several yellow-skinned people with East Asian faces, Hamid immediately used his fluent Chinese and said with a smile, "You must be Young Master Ye Chen's men. Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

Several people looked at each other, unable to help but stare at each other.

In their impression, slogans like "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome" were shouted by Young Pioneers with blush on their faces, red scarves around their necks, and garlands in their hands.

But they never expected that these words would come out of the mouth of a burly Middle Eastern warlord with a beard.

The leader was Chen Zekai's confidant, named Zhao Yinsheng.

Seeing Hamid being so polite and having the style of a warlord, he asked with a polite smile, "You must be Commander Hamid!"

Hamid nodded and smiled, "We are all family. Why be so distant by calling me Commander? Just call me Hamid!"

After saying that, he politely said, "You brothers have come from so far away, you must be very tired. Come, come, come, hurry inside to have a cup of tea and rest!"

Zhao Yinsheng pointed to Su Shoudao and said to Hamid, "Commander Hamid, this is Mr. Su Shoudao, whom our Young Master asked us to bring over to experience life."

After saying that, he pulled Su Shoudao by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and said to Hamid, "Commander Hamid, our Young Master has ordered me to tell you that no matter what, you must keep this Mr. Su well here. Also, you don't need to take too much care of him; just watch him so he doesn't run around. Also, when there is a war, stuff him into the bunker fortifications so he doesn't get hurt by stray bullets."

Su Shoudao heard this, and tears were almost coming down.

"Is this human talk? I spent 100 million US dollars, and in exchange, I got a 'don't need to take too much care of him.' Isn't this a bastard!"

However, Su Shoudao dared to be angry but dared not speak, and didn't even dare to show his dissatisfaction on his face.

After all, this Hamid was Ye Chen's friend and seemed to be quite loyal to Ye Chen. If he made him unhappy and he deducted his treatment or even tortured him, it would be a real loss!

Thinking that he would be "taken care of" by this Hamid for a long time in the future, or rather, that he would be shown mercy, Su Shoudao had to bite the bullet and flatter, "Hello, Commander Hamid. I have long admired your name. It is a great honor to see you today!"

After saying that, he quietly sized up Hamid.

He thought to himself, "Roughly speaking, although Hamid's place is very dilapidated and backward, there are at least a thousand soldiers, and I saw quite a few relatively modern weapons and equipment after coming in. Anyway, this guy is a warlord who occupies one side; he definitely has some real strength."

"However, logically speaking, people who live by hanging their heads on their belts should be very arrogant by nature, and they might not even look at the US President. Why would they be so obsequious to that young kid Ye Chen? This makes no sense at all..."

Hamid looked at Su Shoudao at this time and said with a fake smile, "You don't need to flatter me. What kind of treatment you get and what kind of life you live here in the future is not up to me, but up to Young Master Ye. If Young Master Ye lets you live in a small courtyard alone, you can live in a small courtyard alone, but if Young Master Ye lets you sleep in a sheep pen, you can only go sleep in a sheep pen!"

Su Shoudao could only accompany him with a smile, nodding and bowing, "That is, that is, everything is naturally decided by Young Master Ye..."

Hamid was too lazy to pay attention to him and smiled at Zhao Yinsheng again, "Please tell Young Master Ye that after this guy is handed over to me, he can rest assured. As long as I, Hamid, am alive, I will not let him die. In case my place is captured by the enemy, I will definitely shoot him before I die; I will never let him fall into the hands of the enemy!"

Su Shoudao was almost cursing in his heart, secretly scolding, "What is your cultural level? Even your words are contradictory! On one hand, you say you won't let me die as long as you are alive, and on the other hand, you say if something happens, you will shoot me first before you die. Isn't this bullshit?" ===== CHAPTER 1429 =====
