Chapter 1601: Kurdish Mountains

After Lin Rui and the others arrived in Baghdad, they immediately boarded the prepared vehicles with the team members and rushed to Accra Province. Their destination is a small village located on a hillside. At a checkpoint along the way, several Kurdish "freedom fighters" soldiers holding ak-47 rifles suddenly appeared in front of them.
He checked the documents of Lin Rui and others and asked them where they came from and where they were going. It seems that he does not believe these foreigners.
"We are members of a military company." Jiang An said.
Crazy Horse had a lot of dealings with these people, and repeated it in Kurdish. These soldiers were considered to have bought it, and they were released immediately. But it could also be because Crazy Horse gave them a pack of cigarettes. Anyway, Crazy Horse saluted them jokingly, and then the cars of Lin Rui and others passed the checkpoint and hit the road again.
"Another Iraq" is the motto of the Kurdish area of ​​Iraq. People who have been here will find this sentence very appropriate. This is not the Iraq that has been devastated by the war that the world knows from the news every night. On the contrary, the Kurdish region is very safe, peaceful, and welcomes Westerners.
Unlike Baghdad or most parts of Iraq, this place is full of greenery and vitality, with snow on the tops of the mountains all year round, and rivers roaring in the deep canyons. The semi-autonomous government of the Kurdish region has its own parliament, army, as well as its own flag, language and culture. Commercial and construction industries are also booming.
"Hey, buddy, is this really Iraq? It's so quiet, even a bit like a European country." Sergey looked out of the car window for a while and turned his head.
"In the past five years, there have been only two large-scale terrorist attacks in the area: one occurred in 2004 and killed 40 people in Albil City; the second occurred in March 2008 when a small car bomb An explosion outside a Sulaymaniyah hotel killed a guard. This safety record is even better than that of London." Jiang Jian patted Sergei on the shoulder and said, "This is not Baghdad."
To be honest, there is a new and prosperous atmosphere in the entire Kurdish area of ​​Iraq. New museums, shopping malls, amusement parks and five-star hotels have sprung up.
The journey of Lin Rui and others started from a border town filled with yellow sand in the border of Zahhu, passing the fort on the top of Amadiyah Mountain and continuing to the heights. The real charm of this place comes from the beautiful natural scenery, towering mountains, desert oasis and bustling street scenes. Even people like them will be deeply impressed by the beauty here.
"This place is so beautiful, it doesn't look like it's in Iraq." Sergey sighed.
"It's okay here. The next section of the road can make you feel that war is." Snake Eye shook his head. "The few towns here have not experienced war. And those places that go past are simply hell. It is said that Most of the time, the number of bullets changed within a month, and bullet shells can be picked up on the floor. It is said that there is a joke that is to find a house at random and dig out all the bullets left on it, and you can hold a few big bags. "
"Damn it, can't you let me have some beautiful imaginations?" Sergey turned his head and cursed.
"What beautiful imagination can you have?" Snake Eye sneered. "It's not like drinking all day, and finally lying in the cold Russian sober room, waiting for dawn."
"You don't understand me, man." Schell shook his head. "I actually wanted to meet a local beauty with a darker hair in a place like this. She'd better cook a good dish and live like this. lifetime."
"The idea is simple. It's easy to find such a girl. But the question is, how can you make her look at you? A dirty mercenary with the smell of gunpowder and blood on both hands. You can't sleep if you don't get drunk every day. Sergey, it’s a normal woman that we would run away when we meet." Snake eyes turned to Yelena and shrugged, "Viper, this is not against you, I have no intention of offending."
"I have already accepted the fact that I am not a normal woman." Yelena sneered.
"Well, don't be nonsense." Lin Rui, who has been keeping his eyes closed, said, "How long are we from the scheduled location?"
"At most 30 minutes by car, we'll be in Zahu. Will Aladdin's people wait for us there? I always think this old guy can't believe it." Sandro turned around while driving.
"He is really unreliable at other times. But now, he is willing to do anything to save the crystal. Especially not deceiving us at this time." Lin Rui whispered. "Did Cobain hear from Aladdin?"
"No. But he said that as long as there is any important information, he will contact us as soon as possible." Jiang An replied.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "That means there is no problem."
While they were talking, a convoy came from the side. Keep up with them very quickly. There are a total of four or five vehicles, including old cars and pickup trucks with armed men. The people in the car waved their guns and motioned them to stop.
"What to do, boss? It seems we are in trouble, do we need to solve them?" Sandro looked at the rearview mirror and asked.
"Bring to the side and ask Lincoln and the others to stop too, don't do anything, see what they are going to do." Lin Rui said slowly.
"No, we will be very passive if we get out of the car like this." Sandro whispered, "In case they are ready to do something to us, we must always be prepared."
"Don't cause any conflicts, this is the Kurdish control area. If we want to complete this task, we better not offend them." Lin Rui motioned Sandro to stop the car.
Sandro nodded, then leaned the car to the side of the road. Several people opened the car door together and went down. The militants on the opposite side seemed to look at them very alertly. Lin Rui shrugged, "What's the problem?"
"We are in this area and don't like gunmen very much." A militant frowned.
"I don't like it too much. Holding a gun is far less comfortable than holding a gun with bare hands. In fact, only when I was five years old did I feel that carrying a gun all the time was a good thing, because it felt so cool at the time. Unfortunately, no Way, this is our tool." Lin Rui smiled.
"Your documents?" The Kurdish armed man looked at him and said.
Lin Rui handed him a certificate.
"Are you from a military company?" The Kurdish militants were a little surprised, "Why are you here? To put it harder, there is no good guard here. Moreover, no one can afford you."
