Chapter 281 Humanity and Sophistication
Before Gao Yi saw the entire shelter, he entered the store, passed through the tunnel, and came to a small hut to sit for a while.

But now the people in the carpet factory have started to get busy. The men disguised as workers but now transformed into warriors began to go in and out in front of Gao Yi, and finally gathered in front of him.

Because the room where Gao Yi is located is the entrance to the tunnel, those people hiding in the secret room at the back must pass Gao Yi if they want to go to the store in the front to fight.

Some were wearing robes, some were wearing T-shirts and jeans. Most of them had beards, but there were two young men who shaved their beards clean-shaven. But the same thing about all ten of them was that they were all holding an AK rifle.

There were ten rifles, basically all AKMs, but two of them had RPG launchers on their backs, one had two RPG-7 high-explosive armor-piercing bullets on his waist, and one had three.

With rifles and bazookas, it's actually not feasible to defend a single store with this much firepower, but it's just enough to defend the entire factory.

Although Gao Yi didn't know how big the entire carpet factory was, as long as the attackers didn't bombard the factory indiscriminately, it would be a headache to deal with ten defenders who were determined to die, no matter how elite the troops were.

Even the most elite troops are afraid of street fighting. If they need to fight an indoor battle to clear out house by house, it will be even more of a nightmare, especially when using a force like the Libyan National Army that doesn't know how to fight to attack. It is very likely that they can't hold out for a day or two, let alone an hour or two.

There's just a problem.

Gao Yi looked at the expressions on the faces of the ten people gathered at his door. He found that these people did not have the fanaticism that a martyr should have on his face, nor did they have any excitement. If he saw fanatical and excited expressions, he would know that these people were rushing to die, and there was absolutely no need to worry that they would desert the battlefield.

But Gao Yi only saw tension and fear. The expressions of two people could be considered numb, but he didn't see anyone who looked brave.

Gao Yi was very skeptical at this moment as to whether these people could be trusted.

Gao Yi was no stranger to combat, but he was not familiar with the soldiers who participated in the combat, because since his debut, Gao Yi had hardly ever dealt with these ordinary low-level soldiers.

Having always played the role of a battlefield rule breaker, Gao Yi lacked the necessary understanding of the soldiers of this wild resistance organization.

However, Li Jie, Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua are very familiar with these people, especially Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua. They have fought against this type of people the most, and the people who have fought alongside them the most are actually people of this level.

"These people... I don't think they are good enough."

Feng Biao approached Gao Yi and whispered something in Chinese.

Li Jie nodded and whispered, "People who have fought too many battles will become numb. I won't comment on their fighting ability, but they will definitely not be nervous."

Just at this moment, someone outside came shouting and brought something in. It was a cart with things that looked like backpacks on it.

Lucy was beside Gao Yi, and she whispered, "They said the bomb is ready."

Bombs? More bombs?
The cart pushed over, and a bearded man picked up a black object from the cart. Then he reached out and picked up a backpack, and after moving his hands back and forth, he put the backpack on his back.

Ten people stretched out their hands, and the bombs they pushed over included backpacks, vests, and another long bag-like object that was shaped like a bullet belt.

A young man with no beard on his face started crying. He put on a vest while crying. Then Khalid whispered something seriously beside him, and an older man next to him just patted the young man on the back.

Feng Biao stared at it, and then he said in astonishment: "Oh my god, there is something!"

The reason for this comment is that although the young-looking man put on the bomb vest while crying, he did not show any sign of backing down. He put on the vest, wiped his tears, said something embarrassedly to Khalid, and then raised the gun in his hand again.

"He said he was ready."

Lucy translated to Gao Yi in a low voice, while Li Jie said beside her: "I don't understand these people. They are different from the Syrians. The Syrians are tired of fighting, but I don't understand why they are willing to die."

Feng Biao smiled bitterly and said, "I have never seen anything like this. It is hard for me to judge now, but I think these people are not simple."

Lin Xianghua sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I have to go even if I don't want to. I'm not forced to do this, but the time I've been worrying about has finally arrived. I'm very familiar with this feeling."

Several people looked at Lin Xianghua.

Lin Xianghua asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Khalid hugged the ten people one by one and spoke in a low voice. Then he waved his hand, and the ten people walked past Gao Yi and the others, lifted the wooden boards on the ground, and walked into the tunnel one by one.

The last person put the lifted wooden board down again by himself.

After watching all ten people enter the tunnel, Khalid said to Gao Yi with a serious face: "They are all determined fighters. They will never retreat and will never surrender."

This is a demonstration.

Of course, it was not to intimidate Gao Yi, but to show Gao Yi his strength.

Gao Yi and the others stopped talking, and Khalid returned to Gao Yi, but this time he was holding a roll of carpet in his hand.

Khalid unfolded the carpet. It was a thin prayer rug, but not one of those common industrial products. Instead, it was a handmade rug.

"I'll give you this handmade blanket that I just finished making."

After showing the blanket to Gao Yi, Khalid began to roll it up. While rolling it up, Khalid said expressionlessly: "This carpet factory can no longer produce. This is the last blanket completed in our factory. The director will perish along with his factory, leaving it as a memorial." Gao Yi did not like Khalid's approach.

Khalid is morally blackmailing Gao Yi. He is reminding Gao Yi that this factory and the secret base were lost because of Gao Yi, and these people died because of Gao Yi. By asking him to leave this carpet, he is reminding Gao Yi not to forget everything that happened here.

These are some small tricks, but they may work for others, but they are not good enough for people like Gao Yi.

Gao Yi knew that there were too many idioms related to winning people's hearts, and Khalid's methods of socializing were too crude.

But how should he accept this heavy carpet? It would be inappropriate to refuse, but if he accepted it, Gao Yi would be tied up.

The main reason is that Gao Yi has a conscience and is honest, so when he accepted the blanket, even if he put himself in moral shackles, he would not be able to let go even if he felt that Khalid's armed forces were not worthy of support.

At this moment, Feng Biao suddenly said, "Great! I'm a sniper, and I need a dust blanket. There's sand everywhere here, and it's easy to expose my position once I fire. It would be great to have a blanket to prevent dust."

Feng Biao said to Khalid expectantly, "Can you give me this blanket?"

Khalid was stunned for a moment. After obviously hesitating for a moment, he finally handed the rolled blanket to Feng Biao.

When Feng Biao took the blanket with both hands, he said with great care: "I will definitely cherish this meaningful blanket."

It was a very weird and awkward scene, but Luca and Lucy certainly didn't notice it. Even Li Jie, a smart man, didn't see the trick behind it.

As for Lin Xianghua, forget it. I don't think he would understand even if I explained it to him.

It has to be Feng Biao, who not only knows how to flatter, but also knows all the ways of the world.

Gao Yi said to Feng Biao with a serious face: "This blanket is of great significance, please keep it well."

After that, Gao Yi said to Khalid seriously: "Please rest assured, I will definitely not let your blanket be given away for free."

At this time, someone came to the door and said something to Khalid. Then Khalid said to Gao Yi, "The wound has been sutured. We can set off in ten minutes."

Ten minutes is not too late. Even if the CIA's plan has landed by now, it may take a long time for them to organize and bring the soldiers of the Libyan National Army to attack us.

Gao Yi nodded and said, "You are very efficient and did a good job."

At this time, Khalid's phone suddenly rang.

Khalid pulled out his cell phone, a Nokia, the kind without a big screen at all.

Just looking at the caller ID, Khalid's face changed drastically. When he answered the phone, he only said two sentences, and the expression on his face became extremely shocked, and then he started talking quickly.

After a moment, Khalid hung up the phone, and then he said to Gao Yi without hesitation: "The Americans are coming! Their plane landed at the airport, and then more than a dozen people got off the plane. I didn't see the exact number, but it was at least ten, and these people came directly towards us."

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "More than a dozen people came directly?"

"Yes, only two people joined the CIA in Tripoli to negotiate with the Libyan government, but the rest of them took four cars and headed towards the old city. We must suspect that they were coming directly for us."

Gao Yi frowned and asked, "Is the source of the information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable!"

The situation was a bit complicated. The Americans rushed forward directly after landing. This situation was actually very common. If the local vassal army was not trusted and the target was very important, the Americans would not be afraid of risking casualties.

The CIA rarely sends people to attack directly, but given the importance the CIA attached to the Sky Garden, it is not surprising that it sent a particularly elite action team to attack directly in the shortest possible time.

Didn’t they say that the CIA would only send a few people, just a few people from Free Wind? But why did they send the entire action team here now? This is what worries Gao Yi.

What is even more worrying is not this elite force. Gao Yi looked at Khalid and suddenly asked, "Does the United States have troops stationed here?"

"Have."

Khalid said without hesitation: "The United States, Britain and France all have troops stationed in Libya for the purpose of fighting ISA. The Americans have transport planes and armed helicopters, but they are all at Misrata Airport. The Libyan National Army is now controlling Tripoli, but the Libyan Unity Government is about to drive the National Army out of Tripoli because the Americans support the Unity Government. Why, don't you know all this?"

Why would Gao Yi want to know all this? He was forced to land in Tripoli and did not come here on his own initiative.

Khalid looked at Gao Yi with a shocked expression and was speechless. Then he said helplessly: "Are you worried about the United States' initiative to station troops? You should be worried, but we should have left before the US troops in Misrata arrived."

Gao Yi shook his head, then he sighed and whispered, "Does the United States have many troops stationed in Libya?"

"Not many. The planes are mainly transport planes, but they have attack helicopters."

Gao Yi nodded, and then he said helplessly: "I am not worried about the US troops stationed here. I just think that the US troops stationed here are too few, and I think that the CIA does not need the US troops stationed here."
