Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 983 Chapter 983. Border Horror (Part )

"In fact, since the second half of last year, many demonstrations have mainly taken place in slowly developing cities such as Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse in the south. Among them were strikes and marches similar to those in Germany, as well as anti-racial discrimination, demands for environmental protection, and opposition to retirement reforms. and other themes. In the early days, the demonstrations were orderly, but some protests gradually turned into violent conflicts, leading to a deterioration of local security, just like some cities in the United States where vandalism and looting occurred immediately after a tornado. The violent conflicts near the suburbs of Paris spread from neighboring cities. A large number of vehicles and houses were burned, as you can see near the Gare de l'Est, and many police officers who maintained order were injured during each protest. Chain effects, such as those participating in environmental protests will also come to support anti-racial discrimination. Once the two parties merge, the scale will continue to expand, and almost every time it will follow the same three steps: demonstrations cause serious traffic jams, and the blockage triggers people's violence Conflict will lead to huge economic losses. The news two days ago said that the losses caused by the conflict are estimated to be as high as several billion euros. "

"I always thought that French people were more romantic or even lazy, and could not stand up to demonstrations. Now I find that French people like to protest more than Germans."

"Have you forgotten about the French Revolution in junior high school? The storming of the Bastille inspired the courage and spirit of resistance of the entire French people." Lao Bai turned the steering wheel and the car drove lightly onto the left road. Lao Bai watched the growing numbers ahead. Potholes on the road surface, gradually reduce the speed of the vehicle, and try to prevent the vehicle from being too bumpy. "It should be said that France's history and cultural tradition have always contained a strong spirit of protest. With the continuous development of global economic integration in recent years, France has also Many contradictions and problems, such as racial discrimination, the wide gap between rich and poor, and social injustice caused by uneven economic development, are the main causes of protests and demonstrations in recent years.”

“With so many protests, won’t the economic losses that occur end up being your own misfortune?”

Dong Qiangqiang noticed that there was a fork in the road ahead and subconsciously glanced at the map. There are no very specific instructions on this part of the map, only a place name is written on it. It seems that you should get there first before continuing on to the Italian national highway.

"It must be because if you don't protest, you will lose more. It's the lesser of two evils." Lao Bai analyzed.

Dong Qiangqiang looked up at the roadside sign and found that the arrow leading to the right was partially covered by graffiti and half a newspaper. A red cross that was very eye-catching even at night was spray-painted on the poster. There is a place name and the number of kilometers written under the arrow on the left, which is almost the same as the place name on the map, except that there is an extra lowercase "s" at the end, while the place name and the number of kilometers under the arrow on the right cannot be seen at all. Dong Qiangqiang was also confused for a moment. Can't tell whether to go left or right.

While he was thinking, Lao Bai had already driven the car onto the left lane.

"It seems like we should go to the right." Dong Qiangqiang hesitated. "The name on the left (road) is not exactly the same as the map."

"Sometimes the road signs here look like this," Lao Bai pointed to the road on the right and said, "There is a roadblock on the right and you can't walk on it."

Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and looked out the window, and sure enough he saw a thick dark wood lying in front of the road on the right, blocking two-thirds of the road, making it difficult to drive through.

The bus drove for about ten minutes, and a small village appeared in front of it. None of the buildings in the village had lights on, and there were no street lights on the roadside. The surroundings were dark and quiet, with no crowing of chickens or dogs, and not a single person in sight. , and after driving for a while, a creamy gray-white fog filled the window.

Dong Qiangqiang became more and more suspicious that he was driving on the wrong road. Otherwise, even if it was a village road, he wouldn't have missed a traffic sign for a long time, right?

Lao Bai squinted his eyes and stared ahead carefully for a few seconds, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Old Dong, do you see someone in the trash can in front?"

"Don't stop, and don't turn off the engine." Noticing that Lao Bai took the initiative to slow down the car, Dong Qiangqiang reminded him immediately, while looking around vigilantly for any movement.

Following the direction that Lao Bai pointed, Dong Qiangqiang used the car lights to see a dark-skinned child standing twenty or thirty meters away from the roadside. He looked about eleven or twelve years old, squatting next to the trash can and playing with throwing stones and throwing stones. A game of throwing stones, and there were a few dirty stuffed animals at my feet.

"Child?" Lao Bai felt unbelievable, "In this remote place with no store or place? Where is his home?"

"It's a child." Dong Qiangqiang had already seen it clearly and ordered, "The lights are off, don't shake him."

Lao Bai didn't say anything and quickly turned off the car lights.

As soon as the car headlights were turned off, the front of the two people suddenly darkened at the same time. After about ten seconds, the outside of the car became brighter than the inside.

Only then did the two discover that most of the buildings on both sides of the road were in ruins. In addition to being covered with all kinds of dirty graffiti, the dilapidated walls were littered with garbage. Trash cans were dumped here and there in the weeds, and many cars were on the road. It looked like it hadn't been driven for several years. Either the tires were flat or the glass was missing. The front hood was wide open and there was nothing inside.

"Irritated, I drove the wrong way after all." Lao Bai looked at the surrounding roads and found that there was a roundabout in front of him, which was just convenient for vehicles to turn around. "I should have taken the right side you said just now."

"Lao Bai," Dong Qiangqiang pointed to the child who was very close to the car, "do you want to ask him the way?" Lao Bai rolled down the window, pointed at the red circle marked on the map and asked in French: "Children , I want to go here, right? Can the car go there?"

After hearing his words, the child threw the pebbles in his hand, stood up with the stuffed toy, which was almost as high as the trash can next to him, and looked at the stuffed toy hanging on the window on Lao Bai's left side with a confused expression. Thinking about his problem is like staring at a toy.

Lao Bai was worried that the child wouldn't understand because he spoke too fast and his pronunciation was not standard, so he slowed down and asked patiently again, while taking off the toys on the window and handing them to the child.

The child took the toy and seemed to understand what Lao Bai meant. He babbling at Lao Bai and started signing, and finally shook his hand vigorously. His eyes were full of fear, as if he was very afraid of Lao Bai.

"Okay, thank you." Lao Bai handed the map to Dong Qiangqiang and said regretfully, "It's a pity that he is a little mute..."

The more Dong Qiangqiang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "He is deaf and dumb. He probably didn't understand what you asked, but he was waving his hands...".

Before he finished speaking, a flame suddenly flashed out in the darkness diagonally in front of the bus.

Both of them were stunned. Before they could say anything, the flames had turned into a ball of fire, flying toward the front windshield like lightning.

"Damn it! I'm really afraid of whatever I'm afraid of." As Lao Bai swore, he and Dong Qiangqiang subconsciously bent down to dodge almost at the same time. They heard a dull sound of glass breaking above their heads. The two of them lowered their heads to protect their necks. Looking down, they didn't see any glass fragments falling in front of them. They thought the windshield was either bulletproof, or the opponent's weapons were not as hard as they thought.

Ever since Dong Qiangqiang came to Trier to study, he had not experienced this kind of situation for a long time. He was more excited and stimulated than afraid.

"What's going on ahead?" A light sleeper in the car was awakened by the sound of smashing glass, and asked the two of them sleepily, "Are we already there? Oops, what's going on with the fire on the glass?"

"Reverse! Lao Bai!" Dong Qiangqiang said as he probed the car at an extremely slow speed and boldly looked out the window. This time he saw more flames outside the window.

"If you're going to reverse, you have to drive all the way back to the fork in the road. How about trying to make a U-turn at the roundabout in front? It's definitely faster to turn around and drive again than driving in reverse."

"After turning left just now, we took almost a straight path. As long as we keep going back, there is nothing to worry about. The roundabout in front is surrounded by green plants, and we can't see what is behind it. If the opponent has other big moves, we won't There's no way out."

As Dong Qiangqiang was talking, the front windshield in front of him was hit by several fireballs almost simultaneously. Although the glass was still strong and not broken, it cracked into beautiful spider web flowers.

"Hurry up and reverse the car, don't drive forward." Dong Qiangqiang warned, "I will go to the back to watch for you. You must be careful in front and remember not to mess up."

"What's so messy about this?" Lao Bai twisted most of his body and put the reverse gear calmly, "It's just a few gangsters who blocked the road and robbed me. I'm taking the guys with me, so relax."

At the same moment he said this, there was a dull crashing sound from the left and right sides of the bus. Dong Qiangqiang only looked at the right rearview mirror and did not hear his words.

Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai almost simultaneously discovered that a masked man was trying to break the glass on both sides of the bus.

"I don't know if the insurance is enough to compensate these bastards." Lao Bai sighed and stepped on the accelerator. Through the rearview mirror, he saw that the masked men on the left and right sides were almost knocked down by the bus.

At this time, Zheng Chunhua also bent over and came to a position close to Dong Qiangqiang. Although it was obvious that she was also very nervous, she did not speak with a cry: "What happened? Someone seems to be smashing our car next to me."

Compared with other girls who had started screaming, Zheng Chunhua's calmness was somewhat beyond Dong Qiangqiang's expectation: "Are you okay? Someone smashed the car and tried to rob it. Ask everyone to squat down and remember to protect their heads and necks to avoid being raped. Broken glass hurt.”
