Chapter 1694 - Creatures of Survival
Buck wanted to jump out of the car as soon as possible, but at this time, he didn't care if the tanker driver behind him would find himself!
But the left hand grasped the hung up quantum phone, and it was only when I turned over on the top of the wide oil tank that I found that the backpack strap lock that I had tied to prevent bumps was hanging on the handle!
It is said that when the Soviet Union and China fought against Vietnam in World War II, many soldiers were killed by bullets and bullets because they tied themselves to tanks and could not escape.
But now it's the 21st century, Buck uses a special safety lock, it is very convenient to unlock, a completely different feel of the braided belt can be pulled, but the moment of delay, the roar in the air rushed overhead, and then in the distance in front of the convoy, a series of explosives were dropped!
In the silent night sky, where there was only the sound of the wind and the bumps of the car engine, a series of brilliant fires suddenly flashed, and the huge explosion sound did not transmit as fast as the fire light in the air, but the orange-red explosion cloud that rose high made Buck react immediately: "Cruise missile! Laser-guided cruise missile ......"
The action of pulling the braided belt in his hand stopped, and his fingers unconsciously held the cold oil tank handle, and he felt the huge fuel tank truck under him creak and stopped, as if there was a crash in the convoy, and many footsteps jumped out of the car in a panic, and the words "missile" and "escape" appeared repeatedly in the shouts of various languages......
Buck lay on his back on the top of the tank, motionless.
A little unconscious and in vain to turn his neck to see if there will be that kind of orange-red fighter tail flame in the sky, he rarely experienced cruise missile bombing attacks in Eastern European operations, there are basically proxy wars, and the light weapons of the same grade as the IS army are at most at the level of anti-aircraft machine guns, and the level of using air force air strikes, he has only seen it in Afghanistan, and now he is not stunned, but suddenly feels that it is not interesting to escape, if the target of these high-speed fighters is a convoy of fuel tanks on the road, what will be projected will not be cruise missiles or precision-guided missiles, but the so-called submunitions, that is, drop one, exploding into a purgatory of countless warheads in the air......
Running dozens of hundreds of meters, still within the range of this large explosion, maybe it will explode with the tanker truck and die happily!
The cerebral cortex was stimulated by the roaring and exploding cells, and now it extends to the whole body, and the temperature of the cold metal tank on the back was originally isolated by the fleece jacket, but now it is immersed in the body, and there is an involuntary tremor all over the body, and the aftermath of the death is a sense of aftermath, which is commonly known as fear will bring such a physical reaction.
Poof......
It was as if the blast wave and heat wave of the explosion in a distant place had only been delayed at this time, and it gently scraped over the skin, as if the hairs stood up and fell down again!
Buck let out a long breath, as if to ease his fright.
He is a human being, not a god, and in the face of such a huge steel weapon, the feeling of powerlessness will make many people who are not strong-willed collapse, so the Japanese have experienced the painful lesson of being crushed by the powerful military weapons of the United States in the late stage of World War II, and they are particularly fond of machinery and are a little fascinated by mechas, and it is not without reason.
Then Buck also heard a long shuff from under the tanker, much louder than his silent slow airflow, and then the hoarse and shaky English voice was obviously more frightened: "...... How many times?"
Another voice hesitated: "Three, three times...... Let's go, let's hide too. ”
The voice in front was stubborn: "I'm going to guard my car, I have nothing left when the car is gone, and it doesn't matter if I die......"
Another voice helplessly: "Allah will bless our ......"
The result of the argument turned out to be that the car simply drove out of the convoy again, leaving the convoy with a very large target, leaving the convoy and waiting in the open space in front of it...... And the kind of wooden boxes that are piled up, standard ammunition boxes from the former Soviet style!
The small number of trucks mixed in the convoy were fed by the IS military supplies.
Buck quenched his urge to jump over, and might have found guns, ammunition, and food in the cargo compartment, but the cargo compartment full of supplies was obviously not as easy to evacuate as this empty oil tank.
The truck moved a few hundred meters forward, pulled over when it broke away from the convoy, and some of the drivers and their entourage began to crouch on the side of the road to dodge, and then to Buck's irony, some of them actually lit fires to keep warm!
Is it impossible to consider what an obvious ground reference a fire would be in such a night sky, and what kind of attack might it provoke?
However, combined with the words of the driver just now, I can also figure out the mentality of the people in these areas, anyway, it is already bad like this, if you can't get warm, it will be cold in case of death, and it is not cost-effective......
People always burst out with incredible vitality at special times.
Gradually, they gathered around the fire to roast and chat with the driver, but Buck could hear them clearly.
It was still intricate Arabic, Turkish, English, and Buck even heard Russian and Turkmen...... Oh, and even across the Caspian Sea from Central Asia in the former Soviet Union, Turkmenistan in the former Soviet Union has always been a Turkic language and is the old brother of Turkey.
Then Buck discovered the character of the area.
Most of the seven or eight people have more than three or four nationalities and languages, but usually everyone can understand more than two languages, interplay with each other to help translate, and skillfully switch between two or three languages in the same sentence, just like the pidgin in China and Huhai in the past.
Buck lay there and couldn't help but imitate this tone of speech, at least he could understand English and Russian, and Turkmen could imitate a few words.
However, this time, the close range of seven or eight meters allowed Buck to finally hear the movements of these people, and after driving the tanker trucks to an oil refinery on the border in southwestern Turkey to unload their goods, the tankers returning empty had to gather at a large refinery on the outskirts of Reka City to wait for oil to be loaded.
Buck, who has his own oil wells in Southeast Asia, has recently been made up for some knowledge, knowing that crude oil is actually pumped out of the ground, and the oil content of the components is different in various places, the best light crude oil, such as some oil fields in Libya, are said to be able to be pumped out and put directly into the oil tank, and most of the crude oil in the oil fields still have to be sent to the refinery to be refined into oil and petrochemical products for different purposes, the oil quality in the Middle East is also very good, the refining process is relatively simple, and most countries in the Middle East have a lot of refineries.
However, these drivers said that this large refinery in Reka City is almost the only remaining refinery of a dozen or so oil wells in the surrounding area, so the crude oil from the Hasdi oil field is dragged here for rough processing before being loaded and sent away, but it seems that the attack just now seems to be aimed at the refinery on the outskirts of the city, and the raging fire in the distance seems to indicate this problem.
Some drivers who have seen the explosion of the refinery are still showing off their knowledge, and some people are worried, if the refinery is blown up, will their work not be in vain?
The various characters in the war will only think from their own point of view.
In particular, accustomed to the scenes and encounters in front of them, it seems that it is not so difficult to survive.
Human beings are truly creatures that can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments.
