Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 651, the gold mine was robbed.

"Brother Shen, are you okay?"

Looking at Shen Yuanfeng coming out of the bathroom, Yang Xiaole asked.

After all, I am not a professional sailor, and the twenty-day voyage was really a lot of suffering.

But with the well water I provided and the other party's foundation, it's not that bad.

Shen Yuanfeng nodded: "Much better, let's go get some information first, it's getting late."

Yang Xiaole agreed.

After changing clothes and tidying up a bit, the two left the hotel together.

Yang Xiaole was walking on the road, looking at the various signs on the street, all of which were in English.

There are serious differences in seats.

There were white seating areas and black seating areas.

Here white people are the superior people. In the big coastal cities, black people do not settle here.

Black people who wanted to work here had to go outside the suburbs.

And the salary they get is only one-tenth of what others get.

So there are very few black people here.

Yang Xiaole was not idle along the way. He learned a lot of English knowledge along the way.

During this period, his English improved by leaps and bounds.

There are quite a few English textbooks in his space, which are to be used when the college entrance examination is resumed in a few years.

On the way, he kept pulling Shen Yuanfeng and told him a lot of words. He wrote them all down and put them into the space so that he could look at them directly when he needed them.

In addition, after six years of beatings in his previous life, he still has some basic skills.

I can't say how skilled I am, but at least I have no problem communicating simply.

The premise is that the other party cannot speak too fast.

This needs to be strengthened when I get back.

There will always be a time to meet.

When we arrived at the dock, money still paved the way.

It didn't take long to find out where these people were sent.

After Shen Yuanfeng came back, he looked around and said softly, "Just as I thought, the people were sent to the mining area! But I don't know where exactly they went."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "Well, where did it go?"

"Johannesburg in Transvaal Province is South Africa's most important industrial center, the largest gold and diamond trading place, and the financial center of southern Africa. Many companies have offices there."

Shen Yuanfeng looked around and spoke softly.

"How far is it from here?"

"It's about 500 kilometers away. There's a train going there. Let's go to the train station and ask! But we have to be careful once we get on the train. This is a white area so it's not so bad. Once we get on the train, there are basically other tribes on the road. It's quite dangerous."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "Well, it's okay, we'll take the things with us."

Fortunately, the people over there did not search us when we boarded the ship, otherwise coming here would have been a troublesome thing.

But this is also relatively safe.

You know, some people are really not afraid of death.

The earliest mercenaries seemed to have come from South Africa.

When I arrived at the train station, I went in and asked around. I found out that there was a train to Johannesburg at 8 o'clock in the evening.

There are still three or four hours left before driving.

Just buy two box tickets.

"Let's go! Eat something and take a rest first. The car will probably arrive around six or seven tomorrow morning."

Shen Yuanfeng came out with the ticket and said to him.

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "Okay, let's go to the hotel to eat! You can sleep for a while!"

"it is good!"

After the deal was made, the two returned to the hotel.

There are not many Chinese people here, so there is not much food from the mainland, but there are a lot of Indians here.

I reluctantly ordered a curry rice.

After dinner, Shen Yuanfeng returned to the hotel and fell asleep immediately.

Yang Xiaole had nothing to do, so he took out an English book and read it with his back to Shen Yuanfeng.

It was not until about an hour before driving that Shen Yuanfeng was woken up.

Shen Yuanfeng woke up and pinched his brows: "How long have you slept? It's past time!"

"Don't worry! I'm watching the time! There's still one hour left!"

After getting off the plane, adjust your watch to the local time so you won't miss it.

Hearing this, Shen Yuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He got up and said, "Let's go! Don't waste time!"

The two of them packed up and went back to the train station.

It was completely dark outside at this time.

In fact, Africa is not as hot as imagined, but the sunlight here is very sufficient.

The temperature is not as high as expected.

Arrived at the place and waited quietly for the train.

It took a long time before it was time to get on the bus.

The narrow-gauge steam locomotive is coal-fired, just like the ones in the mainland.

There were quite a few people inside at this time, and Yang Xiaole and his companion also found their own compartment.

Just the two of them.

Put your things away and wait there quietly.

"Come and have a cigarette!"

Shen Yuanfeng took out a cigarette and handed it to him, then sighed: "I hope we can have a smoother time this time!"

Yang Xiaole took it and nodded slightly.

indeed.

After all, there are no slaves in name now.

Of course, there are some disguised ones.

After they bring people in, they are paid very low wages and are managed very strictly. If someone dies, it is all in vain.

As for those purchased, the control is even stricter.

Because these people don't need to be paid, they just need to be given food and drink and ensure that people don't die.

Therefore, people like Coral who are sold here will be managed very strictly.

The treatment will naturally not be good!
"Let's take a rest first! Let's ask around when we get there. I don't know if we can find out."

The people who can be found out are generally those who come here to mine.

Of course, no one would tell those who were sold because it was illegal.

Lie there and rest for a while.

As the car started, no one came into the carriage, and the lights were turned off, plunging into darkness.

Bang, bang, bang.

There was only the thumping sound of an old train starting up.

The journey takes more than ten hours, and I have things to do tomorrow, so I need to conserve my energy.

The two of them took their things and gradually fell asleep.

The car had been driving for an unknown amount of time when Yang Xiaole suddenly opened his eyes.

Because the train entered a turning area, and in this area, many people used their driving skills to climb onto the train.

And these people all had weapons.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took the backpack, assembled the items inside, and loaded it with bullets.

Although Shen Yuanfeng fell asleep, he was still very sensitive to the sound of guns.

He opened his eyes instantly and sat up.

"what happened?"

Yang Xiaole prepared the submachine gun and said to him, "Someone is robbing us! Get ready first!"

At this time, I don’t know if it was because someone climbed up, but the headlights were turned on a little.

At this time, several black men came up and searched for things one by one with guns.

But Yang Xiaole discovered something.

White people don't seem to care at all about this scene.

And black people should not see it.

The people they are looking for are all people of other skin colors.

They were at the front of the car and someone came over soon after.

Some carriages were opened, and the white people inside were sleeping calmly, or those who were awake were smoking and chatting.

But to these people, it doesn't matter.

Seeing this, the robber closed the door.

As for the rooms where the people are not white, that is not the case.

Those who resisted were beaten, while others took out some money or something valuable and the robbers just left.

It's not too difficult.

As if it was an unspoken rule, they didn't take everything away. After a while, their door was opened.

There were two black men on the road.

When the other party saw the big guys in the two men's hands, he was not afraid.

He shrugged and closed the door.

Only after the door was closed did Shen Yuanfeng heave a sigh of relief: "Fortunately! You found it early."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly, said nothing, and looked at the door quietly.

Only after these people had searched the carriages and had a brief conversation did they gather in the carriage at the back.

After a long while, these people jumped out of the car through the window.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said, "Okay, now that they've left, they probably won't come back."

Only then did he put the gun away.

Shen Yuanfeng naturally put it away as well.

But after this incident, Shen Yuanfeng lost his sleepiness for a while.

He took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen again afterwards.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the group got off the train station.

There are obviously a lot more black people here, and you can see people carrying weapons everywhere.

It's obviously more tense than the beach.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanfeng said softly: "Let's ask around and find a local armed force. Otherwise, we won't be able to move forward here."

Yang Xiaole looked around and nodded gently: "Okay, let's ask around and find a hotel to stay in. This is already a gold mining area, and only here is relatively safe."

Hearing this, Shen Yuanfeng also agreed.

Although this is an inland area, because it is the core area of ​​the gold mining area, the city has been built for nearly two hundred years.

The overall architecture is much better than that in Hong Kong Island.

It is not much different from Central in Hong Kong Island, but the roads here are wider.

After all, this is the first city in South Africa.

South Africa today is not like it is in later times. At this time, South Africa is the most powerful country in Africa and the sixth largest economy in the world. You can imagine its strength.

It’s just that the urban area was not as large as it is in later generations.

In later times, after the large-scale evacuation of white people, this place began to fall behind.
"Where can I go to find out now?"

Shen Yuanfeng looked around and asked with a frown.

This is a headache. It is not easy to find out here because it is the secret of each company.

Yang Xiaole looked around and shook his head: "I'm not sure, I'll pay someone to ask later!"

Shen Yuanfeng nodded.

The two began looking for a hotel nearby.

Yang Xiaole had just arrived at the hotel and raised his eyebrows. After searching for a long time, he finally found it without any effort!

But he didn't say anything, and followed Shen Yuanfeng into the hotel.

After opening the room, the two came to the elevator.

They followed the crowd and took the elevator upstairs. The elevator stopped at their floor and the two of them went out.

After coming out, Yang Xiaole suddenly said, "Brother Shen, go in, I think I see someone I know!"

"An acquaintance? From our side?"

Because there were people around, he spoke more confidentially.

Yang Xiaole shook his head and whispered in his ear: "No, I met someone when I was on a mission before. The man I just saw is his subordinate. Maybe he can provide us with some help."

Hearing this, Shen Yuanfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it safe?"

"It should be fine, he definitely doesn't know my identity!"

Shen Yuanfeng nodded gently when he heard this: "Okay, you go and take a look! I'll go back first, and come back quickly if it doesn't work."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaole agreed and pressed the elevator button again.

After waiting for a while, the elevator came up and he went straight in.

He nodded to Shen Yuanfeng until the elevator door closed.

After getting off the elevator, he put on a mask, walked to a house and gently knocked on the door.

After a while, a man opened the door.

The other person, who had a Chinese face, looked at him curiously and asked, "Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Li."

Hearing this, the other party looked at him hesitantly and shouted inside.

After a while, Li Yugang came out.

When Li Yugang heard that they were looking for him, he was also confused.

"Mr. Li, let's talk alone!"

Yang Xiaole took off his mask and spoke to him softly.

"old……"

Li Yugang looked at the person who came and was surprised. Others didn't know Yang Xiaole's identity, but how could he not know it?

However, when he saw Yang Xiaole's actions, he still didn't shout out.

He said to the young man next to him: "Ah Kun! Go next door. I have something to discuss with him."

After hearing this, A Kun looked at it and finally agreed.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole walked straight in.

The door closed and Li Yugang followed him: "Boss, why are you here?"

After such a long time, he has already known that the person behind the company in Hong Kong Island is the young man in front of him.

Yang Xiaole sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a smile: "I came here for something, and I just happened to know you were here. What's wrong? How are things going at the company?"

Li Yugang shook his head helplessly. "Before we bought the gold mine, a local armed group helped us watch over it, but later it was attacked by another group of people. We have been negotiating with them for a while, but unfortunately, there is no effect. The tens of millions of dollars we invested may be wasted."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole frowned slightly.

Then he said, "Put this matter aside for now. I have something very important to tell you today. Don't tell anyone that you have seen me. You know the armed forces here. Ask them to help me find someone."

"Checking on someone?"

"Yes, it's my friend's friend. He was..."

Let me tell you the general situation.

Li Yugang frowned when he heard this: "You mean, he was captured by Yemen? It must be very troublesome. This kind of thing is private."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole asked, "How much is a mining slave here?"

"It depends. The average is about $2000 per person. It depends on your physical condition."

Li Yugang briefly told us what he knew.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said directly: "I have found out everything. I will give you 5000 US dollars! This is more expensive than hiring two people. I must rescue this person."

Hearing this, Li Yugang nodded gently: "Okay, I'll call now!"

After saying that, he walked to the bedside, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and made a call.

After waiting for a while, Li Yugang said with a smile: "Hello, General Kars..."

Yang Xiaole listened quietly there.

After a long while, the two finished talking and hung up the phone.

Li Yugang said softly, "General Karls was the armed force of the mining area before. He suffered heavy losses in the last incident. I will ask him to find out about it now."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently after hearing this: "Okay! Then I'll wait for a while!"

Then he asked, "How many people does this General Kars you mentioned have? What are his people like? Is it possible that he is setting up a trap with the other party?"

Li Yugang shook his head: "It shouldn't be that serious. Last time, they lost more than 20 people in total, and more than 50 were injured."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded lightly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's put the gold mine aside for now. Saving people is the most important thing this time. After this is done, we can deal with the gold mine."

Li Yugang was secretly shocked when he heard this.

Tens of millions of dollars are not as important as one person?

That’s close to 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

But the other party was the boss, so he couldn't say anything.

Then he asked, "Boss, how is Hong Kong Island?"

"Hong Kong Island is fine! Your sister and Huang Qiujing went to Singapore to discuss business."

Li Yugang nodded slightly.

Then the two chatted about Hong Kong Island for a while.

After a while, seeing that there was still no call, Yang Xiaole said, "I'll go back first and come back later. Do you have anything to do today?"

Li Yugang nodded: "I was planning to go to the mining area today, but I won't go now and wait for you to come over."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaole stood up after he finished speaking, and then he said, "If you see me outside, just tell me that I saved you before, and don't mention anything else."

It would be fine if Old Man Wang knew about this, but it would not be a good thing if other people knew about it.

"Okay, got it, boss!"

Li Yugang agreed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said hello, left the room, went to the elevator and went downstairs.
