650: Chapter 643: Please Come In 650: Chapter 643: Please Come In Others might use their hands to slap faces, but Gao Yang used a gun, so among the corpses lying on the ground, a considerable number were too gruesome to look at directly.
Actually, Gao Yang felt quite helpless.
He used a shotgun, which had great stopping power but lacked penetration.
Seeing that those troublemakers were all wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, Gao Yang had no choice but to aim for their faces for certainty.
How terrible their deaths looked didn’t really matter.
After all, they were dead, and whether their bodies looked good or bad, no one cared anymore.
Including Gao Yang, everyone pretty much shared the same thought, which was how to wrap things up.
After reloading his shotgun, Gao Yang put it down, still hanging under his arm, and didn’t show any intention of using it on the onlookers, so it was still better to appear low-key and harmless.
After a moment’s hesitation, a man with a big beard shouted loudly, “Who are you people?
Do you know what you’ve done?”
The man with the big beard was called Ibrahim.
He was the founder and the supreme commander of the Free Syrian Organization, and as the main target, Gao Yang could still recognize him.
Gao Yang made an expression of indignation and shouted loudly, “We came here to overthrow Bashar, not to be humiliated!”
Ibrahim pushed through the crowd and came up to Gao Yang, looked at him and then at the others who remained silent, and suddenly gestured with his hand and said, “These people were brought in by the Victory Front, those Russians are blasting experts, experts in making IEDs and car bombs, and they are critical for our attack on the prison.”
Don’t underestimate IEDs and car bombs.
Although they started to become popular in Iraq and it seems like all those terrorist groups are experts at it, in fact, making IEDs also requires skills.
Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “I regret it, but no matter what they were doing, they shouldn’t have insulted us, especially trying to take our weapons.”
Ibrahim nodded and said, “They did indeed go too far.
However, for whatever reason, the Victory Front will not let you go.
Which organization are you with?”
Gao Yang leaned closer to Ibrahim and whispered, “We aren’t with that organization.
We are mercenaries.
In fact, some people want to take the Aleppo Prison as soon as possible, so we came here.
The price for hiring us was a daily salary of one hundred thousand US dollars, paid by the Saudis.
You understand, right?”
Gao Yang’s lie was quite clumsy, but the situation was so common it was believable.
Ibrahim nodded repeatedly, then looked at Gao Yang, waved a hand, and said, “Join us!
I’ll take care of the rest!”
Gao Yang immediately smiled and said, “No problem.
By the way, which organization are you with?”
Ibrahim’s face flushed with excitement, “Free Syrian.
My name is Ibrahim, and I’m the supreme commander of Free Syrian.
If you join us, you must follow orders, but I’ll give you the greatest freedom.”
Gao Yang didn’t hesitate and said, “Of course, no problem.
In fact, we arrived yesterday and are not familiar with the situation here.
We were just thinking about joining some organization to make a bigger impact.
But let me say this upfront, once Aleppo Prison is taken, we’ll be leaving.”
Ibrahim, visibly excited, said, “No problem, from now on we are brothers.
What’s your name, my brother?”
“You can call me Camel.”
Gao Yang didn’t even blink as he gave out a false nickname, but upon hearing it, Ibrahim’s eyes nearly popped out.
“You’re Camel?
You’re the Camel!”
Ibrahim immediately exclaimed, to which Gao Yang looked slightly surprised, but he quickly said, “Keep your voice down.”
Ibrahim nodded repeatedly and whispered, “I understand, I understand!
I know what to do, I know, so now…”
Ibrahim didn’t finish his sentence when a loud shout in Arabic interrupted him.
Gao Yang didn’t understand much, only knowing it probably meant that something had happened.
Gao Yang turned his head to look, but saw a group of five or six people parting the crowd.
The leader looked to be of Caucasoid descent with a big bearded face.
When the big bearded man saw the bodies on the ground, he immediately paled, grabbed the AK-74 from his back, and began shouting in Arabic.
Then he looked at Gao Yang and aimed the gun at Gao Yang’s head.
“He’s asking who did this, asking what kind of person you are.
If you don’t answer, he’ll shoot,” Raja translated quietly beside Gao Yang, while Ibrahim, with an angry face, stepped forward, pushed away the gun, and spoke loudly in Arabic, immediately adding in English, “They are from Free Syrian!
If you have a problem, speak to me.”
The big bearded man, furious, said in English, “Damn it, why did you kill our people?”
Ibrahim also shouted loudly, “They started it!
Do you expect us not to do anything?”
Big Beard angrily said, “No matter the reason, the experts we finally found are all dead, all dead!
Fine, I’ll notify Torbeyev, you go talk to him.
Before the offensive begins at noon, you’d better convince him to let this go!”
Ibrahim, undeterred, shouted back, “This is Syria!
This is Syria’s war, and we know how to fight it!
Chechens, don’t be too arrogant!
Also, we are now part of ISIS, if Torbeyev is not satisfied, let him speak to our boss!”
These words seemed to soften Big Beard a bit, he glanced at Gao Yang and said with resentment, “Even if you have joined ISIS, you have already caused a great impact on our offensive.
They were the best blasting experts.”
Ibrahim sneered, saying, “The best?
Not necessarily.”
After speaking disdainfully, Ibrahim glanced around the crowd, then leaned close to Big Beard’s ear and whispered something.
Afterward, Big Beard, with a look of surprise, put away his gun and said softly to Gao Yang, “You, which Camel are you?”
Gao Yang didn’t know what kind of fake nickname he had reported that caused everyone to look at him as if they had seen a ghost and then begin to speak to him respectfully, as if he had mentioned an incredible name.
The somewhat amused Gao Yang could only brace himself, he shrugged and said softly, “I don’t know if I am the Camel you think I am, so it’s hard for me to answer your question.”
Gao Yang’s evasive answer made Big Beard hesitate.
After a pause, the Big Beard whispered, “Then, are you a blasting expert?”
Gao Yang just smiled cryptically.
Gao Yang did not answer Big Beard’s question, but waved to Rafael.
When Rafael had scurried up to Gao Yang, Gao Yang snapped his fingers and said to Rafael, “Open your backpack, let them see what’s inside.”
Rafael quickly took off the backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out a bunch of C4, followed by detonators and various small items.
Ibrahim laughed particularly heartily, and Big Beard’s eyes also lit up.
He slung his rifle behind and said with great respect, “Camel…, no, sir, do you have time to visit our command post?”
Ibrahim immediately said, “No, Camel…
Sir, is very tired already, and because of the provocations from your people, sir is very unhappy.
The situation just now was very dangerous.
I think sir needs some rest, don’t you agree?”
Gao Yang was still confused, but he knew what to say.
After nodding to Ibrahim, Gao Yang said solemnly, “As a member of the Free Syrian, I should visit our headquarters and discuss some matters.”
Ibrahim was very pleased, and although Big Beard appeared somewhat disappointed, he nodded respectably to Gao Yang and said, “Alright, then I won’t disturb you further, sir.
Our commander, Torbeyev, will personally pay you a visit.
I hope you will have time.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Good, I look forward to Mr.
Torbeyev’s visit.”
Ibrahim pointed to a car that was being blocked by Gao Yang and his team’s car and said, “Sir, it’s full of fake medicine, do you need that?
If you do need anything, everything here is at your disposal.”
After hesitating for a moment, Big Beard also said solemnly, “Correct, these are all from dismantled artillery shells, TNT, and we also have many homemade products.
If you need them, the Victory Front would be happy to provide everything you need.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “There’s no rush now, let’s head to the headquarters first, let’s not stay here, I’m not used to appearing in front of so many people.”
Ibrahim and Big Beard both had understanding looks, then Ibrahim waved his hand to disperse the crowd and respectfully led Gao Yang and the others to the headquarters of the Free Syrian.
While walking, Ibrahim said very emotionally, “Sir, I really didn’t expect you to be so young, it is indeed, it’s really surprising.”
Now, Gao Yang had no choice but to maintain his mysterious demeanor.
He smiled faintly and said to Ibrahim, “Your English is very good, I seem to detect an American accent.”
Ibrahim smiled proudly and then whispered, “I went to America when I was 21, stayed there after graduating from university and lived there for twenty-three years, only returning to Syria this year.”
Gao Yang nodded, and after Ibrahim made a welcoming gesture, Gao Yang stepped into the Free Syrian headquarters, followed by Rafael.
For mercenaries, fighting at the drop of a hat is normal, so is pulling the trigger in a disagreement resulting in deaths.
But what truly amazed Gao Yang, something he had never expected, was that after starting a gunfight over a minor issue, killing many people, he would end up an honored guest at the Free Syrian headquarters, swaggering in boldly.
