Chapter Eighty-Six: The Great Indian Adventure (Attacked)
It wasn't until the tuk-tuk drove out of the port's control area for some distance that Wu Liang realized that they were separated by a thin container parapet that were two completely different worlds.
If the life of the Teddy family in the harbor is called poverty, then the people living on the outside are almost like animals.
No matter how bad it is, Teddy's family has clothes to wear, and no matter how thin the tin house is, it is a home that can shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no need to worry about tomorrow's food and lodging. And these people outside the walls are in a state of utter abject poverty, unkempt and unkempt, male and female, without clothes, wearing sacks printed with UN patterns. Even if Wu Liang's tuktuk car drove by, he didn't even look at it, just sat on the side of the road and stared at the huge soup pot in the aid station set up by the Red Cross not far away.
According to Teddy, Kerala has not starved to death for a long time because of its proximity to the port, and other inland states are much worse, and it is rumored that a branch of Hinduism that believes in Lord Shiva has increased its number of followers by more than 100,000 in a month, just to be able to eat human corpses in a proper way to avoid starvation. (The Aghori sect does not kill people but eats corpses from the Ganges!) Even the huge number of sacred cows roaming the streets is said to have escaped the poison and was devoured by the hungry crowd.
Just thinking about it makes people shudder, it's a living hellish scene.
In addition to the insensitive poor on the streets, it is not uncommon for militants to roam the streets with guns in broad daylight.
India is the world's second largest private gun holder, and there are more than 40 million registered guns in the country, and there are even more than 40 million black guns made by the people, which has led to the emergence of a large number of bandit gangs.
This trip to the Padmanaba Swami Temple will pass through about 160 kilometers of no-man's land, and there are often news of vehicles being hijacked, not only to rob money but also to people. Of course, it's not what the old drivers think, but to be more cruel, catch the driver and passengers, and put them back if they can afford to ransom people, and prepare dry food if they can't pay for it, which is also one of Teddy's considerations for choosing the color of the vehicle.
The road is not too wide, and there are craters of large and small bomb craters, and occasionally the wreckage of tanks or armored vehicles is mixed in, giving it a look of a Middle Eastern battlefield. Occasionally, sporadic gunshots would sound when passing by the houses, which made people nervous all the time, and after realizing the danger that might arise at any time, Wu Liang sat in the back of the car and armed himself.
Body armor, helmets, AR-15s, bazookas, grenades, Glocks, one by one weapons are armed on themselves, bringing a sense of security to themselves and a lot of sweat at the same time. "Death! How hot is it on this day! Tearing off a piece of paper shell and holding it as a fan in his hand, Wu Liang complained.
Teddy, who had been concentrating on driving, turned around and was startled when he heard this: "Boss, are you going to war?" ”
"Pit! Pit! Pit! Boy, give me a good look at the road! He slapped the stunned Teddy back.
Perhaps it was India's natural optimism, Teddy laughed and said, "No need to be so nervous, boss!" There is only one car on the road, and no matter how we drive, there will be no traffic police to post a ticket, right? ”
"There are no traffic police, but isn't there a checkpoint ahead?" Wu Liang pointed to the two tuktuk cars with military logos in front of him and said.
"Checkpoints? We haven't had that stuff in Kerala for almost a decade! Teddy replied with a chuckle, turning his head to look ahead, "Hell! That's not a checkpoint at all! That's a robber! The boss is ready, let's run away! With that, he twisted the grip and drove the tuk-tuk off the road.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! I said, you can't pick a good path! Wu Liang, who was up and down in the back of the car, said angrily.
Teddy can still be happy at this time, his nerves are really not ordinary coarse: "It's okay boss, it won't be upside down soon, but we may have to take a long detour!" ”
Seeing the beaked duck flying, two Tuktuk painted in forgiveness chased after him in the distance, and at one time three Tuktuk cars chased after him on the path.
The three tuktuks were about the same speed and load, and they ran on the trail for more than 20 minutes and basically maintained the distance they had started with. Those who want to escape can't escape, those who want to chase can't catch up, the whole car chase scene is really ugly to death, and the period of time that should have been very tense was made drowsy, WTF!!
If it weren't for the fear of disturbing Teddy, who was driving, Wu Liang really wanted to shout: "You are all meowing and the enemy sent to play with me!" ”
If it is so consumed, it can only be dragged until one side runs out of fuel to decide the winner, Wu Liangke does not have so much patience to drag it on, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to use rockets in the closed compartment, the two green hanged ghosts would have been solved long ago.
Opening the car door, Wu Liang held the AR-15 with one hand and leaned out of the car with the other, and after a cursory aim, he pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun without a muffler burst out with a crisp gunshot. After three long shots, it successfully hit the cab of the car in front, the broken glass was stained with some blood, and the tuktuk that was hit made an arc and hit the big tree on the side of the road and fell directly to the ground, and the people sitting in the back of the car were scattered all over the ground.
The enemy in the back seat of another tuktuk began to return fire, and two guys in military uniforms picked up India's own INSAS assault rifles and opened fire. The two guys in the back obviously didn't have any formal military training, and they didn't let go when they pulled the trigger, except for the first two bullets that flew past Wu Liang's car, the rest of the bullets didn't know where they flew.
After retracting into the car and changing the magazine, he continued to shoot backwards, but the evasion action of the driver of the rear car dodging left and right brought a lot of trouble to Wu Liang, and it took five long shots to be considered a hit.
With the gun behind his back, regardless of whether the chasing soldiers who were wrestling in a ball could see it or not, Wu Liangchong raised a middle finger high behind him and gave a patton-style military salute.
"Hahaha! Let these robbers eat the dirt! ”
I was happy that it was obviously early, and it slowed down significantly when I was able to drive 300 meters away.
"What the hell? Keep running, don't slow down! Wu Liang said urgently.
Teddy shrugged his shoulders with his hands outstretched: "Sorry! Boss, I didn't slow down but the car ran out of gas. ”
