Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2139 - 2202: The Bandits Back Down
For this kind of person, Li Yifei really wanted to reply to them, "Do I owe you anything? Money doesn’t just fall from the sky or grow from the ground, it’s earned through hard work. You have no problems whatsoever yet you ask for money, isn’t that sick?"
Moreover, even though Li Yifei didn’t respond, some people immediately posted on Twitter accusing him of being a heartless rich person, how terrible he was, instantly turning into anti-fans. Li Yifei thought about it but decided not to pay attention to them.
Speaking of which, seeing Xiang Shixu, Li Yifei thought a bit more, but it was just some grumbling thoughts.
It was already past noon, the people hiding in the restroom didn’t feel hungry, and as for using the toilet, they were already in a bathroom, so it was extremely convenient. You could say that apart from not being able to leave, staying here was at least not very dangerous.
Outside, gunfire still occasionally erupted, with the occasional sound of explosions and shouting sporadically coming through. Li Yifei counted, the police had launched a total of seven assaults trying to break in, but each was repelled. This was the seventh time, and it seemed they had to retreat again. It seemed the thieves had reinforced their numbers, and Li Yifei heard cheers from them after repelling the police. At the time, he was playing with a few bullets, tossing them up and quickly catching them in the air.
Standing up, Li Yifei loaded the bullets into the magazine, carried it on his body, and turned back to say: "I’m going to check out the situation, you all pay attention, if there’s another way out, I’ll lead you out."
Heading out, Li Yifei found a spot on the second floor, and sure enough saw the police in combat, losing another few people and retreating embarrassingly. On the thieves’ side, there were indeed more than twenty people, seemingly coming from another place. Li Yifei smacked his forehead and cursed himself for being so dull, there were surely not just one entrance at the airport; for every boarding gate, there was an exit, including above their own boarding gate.
Hastily returning, Li Yifei found Wu Shuwei and the others, after explaining his idea, he added: "Why didn’t anyone remind me about this earlier?"
Wu Shuwei seemed to have forgotten, she had just been browsing Twitter, though one person said: "Uh, I wanted to mention it, but we aren’t in danger now, we’ve got food and drinks, we even played poker earlier, so I didn’t bring it up."
"Damn! Stop and pack up quickly, I’ll scout ahead, if you want to play poker, why not play somewhere safe?" Li Yifei rolled his eyes, knowing the speaker was Sun Gang, a legal advisor from the signing negotiation team on the plane, quite honest.
Running out, Li Yifei intended to check the boarding gate, only to see a few thieves with guns coming over. Li Yifei hid himself and saw they were heading towards the bathroom. He drew his gun, watching these people; if they dared to toss grenades, Li Yifei would immediately kill them.
"Hello!" one person shouted oddly in Chinese at the restroom door.
Hmm? At the sound, Li Yifei paused.
The person continued in awkward Chinese: "Hello, friends inside, I mean no harm, I’m also a Huaxia person, from the territory. I’ve come here to negotiate, I can let you go, but may we have your help against those damned rebels outside?"
Hearing their voice and seeing their face, Li Yifei immediately recognized what kind of person this was. Wu Shuwei and the others didn’t answer, as Li Yifei wasn’t there, so nobody replied.
"Those outside can’t be those people, right..." Someone had once seen online that certain ethnic Chinese would cross into Arabia and join certain organizations, hence why he said that.
"No matter who they are, they’re not our compatriots, just speaking Chinese." Wu Shuwei turned with a glare, telling him to shut up. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Friends inside, rest assured, I really mean no harm. You can join us in creating a beautiful future where we have endless food and women, all manner of beef and lamb..."
"Bang!" The answer was a bullet, followed by a burst of bullets. Li Yifei fired while stepping out from behind, turning the person into a sieve, and those with him instantly had their faces change. Seconds later, one turned and tried to run, forgetting to retaliate by shooting.
Li Yifei threw a magazine, knocking down the person, and said, "Take him away. I won’t help you with your business, nor will I meddle in what you’re up to."
"O-okay!" the person stammered.
Dragging the corpse away, their leader arrived, seemingly not giving up on recruiting the terrifying Li Yifei, saying: "Sir, I can pay you a substantial sum, how about two million US dollars? Just help us guard here, achieve our goals, and the government wouldn’t dare act rashly, charging in would cost them even more!"
"I’m not interested!" Li Yifei clamped a cigarette between his teeth, tilting his head while squinting at the other party, then continued, "I said, if you don’t mess with Huaxia people, I have no interest in messing with you."
"But sir, you have already killed more than ten of our people."
"Nonsense, if I hadn’t killed them, I’d be the one killed!"
"Alright..." The other party didn’t ramble on this time, simply turned around and left.
Li Yifei initially thought the other party might underhandedly try something, but was surprised when this person actually just walked away, without sending anyone to harass Li Yifei and his group. After waiting a while, confirming safety, Li Yifei led more than twenty people out through a boarding gate. Li Yifei opened the door first, jumped out, and drove over a towing vehicle to help the crowd jump down.
These police are really... there’s nothing more to say. These people don’t even know to go in through these countless backdoors, to encircle those people from behind; otherwise, how could those people be so brazen?
Li Yifei guided the group, recognizing the direction, letting Xiang Shixu find the direction to the airport exit. They walked several hundred meters before seeing a few police cars. The people inside saw a group walking out and immediately pulled out their guns, aiming and shouting, "Nobody move, stop right there!"
"Stop shouting, we’re travelers; we were almost held hostage previously. We escaped through a boarding gate," replied Li Yifei.
"Travelers? Show me proof, and throw away your gun," the police shouted at Li Yifei, aiming his gun.
With your level of competence, what’s the point in using a gun on you? Li Yifei sneered, tossed away the gun on his body. Wu Shuwei did the same, also throwing several grenades directly onto the ground which made Li Yifei’s eye twitch. He thought to himself, foolish woman, you can throw the gun, but why toss the grenades as well? If these things explode, among these twenty people, probably very few will remain intact; you’re tossing them right into the crowd.
The police ran over, one almost tripped, landing headfirst on the ground, and then kicked away the gun. They started to frisk Li Yifei and the others, questioning their identities. Learning they were a Huaxia tour group, the police’s attitude worsened.
When a male officer reached out to touch Wu Shuwei, Li Yifei firmly grabbed his hand and pushed him away gently, warning, "Search properly, don’t touch unnecessarily."
"Fuck you, I’m searching, mind your business, if you **** again I’ll shoot you, treat you as a terrorist," the officer’s expression turned cold, frowned, returning to push Li Yifei.
Li Yifei didn’t move, he allowed the officer to push him, true qi flowed out, instantly rebounding the force, flinging the officer several meters back, landing on the ground. Other officers quickly turned their attention and pointed their guns at Li Yifei.
"What great Egyptian police, not dealing with terrorists, but here intimidating innocent people, even drawing guns!" Li Yifei chuckled disdainfully, then turned to Xiang Shixu, "Did you record it all? We’ll post it on Twitter and Facebook later, let the world see how incompetent the Egyptian police are. A bunch of scum threatening ordinary civilians!"
After all, it’s their territory; if it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn’t dare say such things, would compromise even if the women were groped, patiently enduring it. But this group had Li Yifei, ensuring those people wouldn’t benefit.
As Li Yifei spoke, his imposing manner spread, despite the summer heat, these people felt a chill, collectively shivering, momentarily not daring to advance.
"Let’s go!" Li Yifei glanced over the police, then took the lead to leave. Surprisingly, none of the officers dared stop them, until a female officer approached and said, "Sir, I apologize for my colleague’s behavior, but you can’t leave yet. Although you’re travelers, you came out from inside, so you need to write a statement. Additionally, could you brief us about the situation inside, to aid our hostage rescue operations?"
"You should have said that earlier." Li Yifei nodded. Making a statement is necessary, it’s impossible to refuse. Thus, the group escaping the airport was taken to a building beside the lounge to write statements, explaining the source of the weapons, followed by a series of checks before they were allowed to leave.
Actually, delayed until now, it’s evening already, Wu Shuwei arranged for someone to book a hotel. With what’s happened at the airport, it seems impossible to leave Egypt anytime soon.
If one attempted to leave by land to Congo, it would be quite challenging, likely needing to pass through Sudan, or navigating through Central Africa, eventually reaching Congo.
