Endless Road of Corpse - C39

“In the last six months, China has established five artificial islands in the Nansha Sea area, which are more than one square kilometer. The countries along the South China Sea, such as Vietnam and the Philippines, have expressed great concern about this. What are the explanations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China?” On the television, a large-nosed foreign reporter stammered out a question in Chinese with only one tone.

The foreign ministry spokesman, who had a straight face and looked like Li Xiangyang from “The Plains Guerrilla Force,” as if he could make the foreign states surrender with a glare, smiled and said with slight disdain, “That was just a set of projects we did to improve the living conditions of the island guards …”

The reporters below the stage burst into soft laughter.

The screen flipped and the middle-aged woman, who had a discordant life, appeared on the screen once more. “Now, a new international news bulletin has been broadcasted. International oil prices have continued to fall, falling by more than 50% in the past year. They have fallen to their lowest level in the last six years …”

“The situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate and at the Saudi Arab-Yemeni border, the two sides are engaged in a barrage of artillery and rocket launchers. On the same day, at least 37 people were killed and 80 injured when a food factory was accidentally bombed in the western port city of Gautada, Yemen. ”

“Israel has accelerated the construction of the Israeli-Palestinian border barrier, in order to build which it has destroyed 140 houses in the north-west of the West Bank, affecting the lives of 875 thousand Palestinians and displacing more than 2,300 people from 400 families. As key water sources have been occupied, the gap in Palestinian water resources amounts to 12 million cubic metres. ”

“Quantum computers have made breakthroughs, and physicists have discovered that quantum dissipation can produce persistent and stable entanglement.”

“…”

The Taoist and I sat in the lobby of the travel agency and waited for the reception of the leader. He had been demoted to a business manager and had coincidentally been transferred to the Qianchao City Branch. When we arrived, he was trying to recommend a seven-day shopping trip to a group of fashionable women, patting them on the chest and assuring them that Korean Herm s was at least half as cheap and free of counterfeit goods.

Even though we knew there was danger ahead, we couldn’t help but want to uncover the fog and see the truth within. It was like how a person who is particularly afraid of ghosts likes to watch horror movies or a person who is afraid of snakes likes to go to the zoo to watch snakes. The kind of feeling that makes one’s skin crawl is like a good wine that makes one intoxicated.

After the business manager finished introducing his trip to Korea, the women left happily with the travel agency brochure and the beer bottle opener. He turned around and walked towards us. From a distance, he stretched out his hand with a professional smile on his face.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting …”

We stood up and shook hands with him in turn. His palms were damp and covered with meat, and felt a little greasy.

“Speak, where do you want to go?” Domestic or foreign? I’ll definitely give you a good price! “Recently, I’ve been going to Malaysia for a really cheap price. It’s only 3000 yuan, so I’ll give you guys a discount …” This person was also familiar with each other. In Mandarin with a northeastern accent, he sat down across from us and started selling.

I looked at the Taoist and said somewhat embarrassedly, “This … We don’t want to travel… ”

“Don’t want to travel? “Then what are you all doing here?” He took a box of Nanking’s from his pocket and handed it to us. I waved to him not to smoke, and the Taoist took another one from the fire he offered us.

I looked around and seeing that no one was paying attention to us, I lowered my voice and said, “Just think about what happened on that Thai flight!”

The man suddenly became alert, stood up and waved his hand, saying, “You’re journalists? “I’ve already said before that I won’t accept any interviews. I’ve already hidden myself here for this matter. Why are you all still chasing me up?”

“No, no, no …” “We’re not journalists.” I waved him back down.

“Then who are you people? Why are you asking about this? ” The man sat down again, pulled by me, but his face was full of suspicion.

“We are… How to put it … It’s just that weird enthusiasts like to collect all sorts of weird things! We feel that you have been wronged. How can you be the scapegoat for this? That passenger can’t blame you for being stupid, can he? “It’s fortunate that they didn’t set the plane on fire. If the plane exploded, you would have to go to jail as well, right?” The Daoist took over the conversation and spat out a bunch of words in succession.

Hearing that, the person’s eyes lit up, and slapped his thigh: “Isn’t that so! How the f * ck can you blame me for this? They’re two adults, not my puppies and my kittens. What am I supposed to do with them? Back then on the plane, I tried to persuade them and pulled them, but they just wanted to argue. What could I do? ”

“Sigh!” It’s really bad luck that you ran into two lunatics! Now that everyone has settled down, anyone can go abroad! ” The Taoist patted him on the shoulder in consolation.

“That’s right!” As if he had suddenly found a friend, the man waved his cigarette and continued, “I have to say, there are too many of us in China. When the forest grows big, there will always be one or two bad birds …” Also, big brother, let me tell you, these things are just the hustle and bustle of our domestic media. Foreigners don’t even care about foreigners, and they would love for us to go play with them. What Chinese children peeing outside, washing their feet in a fountain, these are all photos taken by our own people, spreading around the country, the foreigners really don’t care! I don’t mind spending so much money here. Not to mention peeing on the road, I’m even willing to take a dump on my brick bed! It’s just that they’re a bunch of idiots, isn’t it good to go abroad to take a look at the scenery? Even though they wanted to shoot these photos, they had to show how much quality they had. There was also that f * cking tourist bureau that was also blindly making fun of them. What disgrace, what national character? To be rich was to be a member of the national class! Those who left the country more than ten years ago were all of high quality, but did anyone leave you at that time? How about now? If the Old Buddha of Paris knew no Mandarin, he would be too embarrassed to greet anyone! ”

Nothing could improve the relationship between the two of them more than cursing together. After scolding the Tourism Bureau together with him and using his words to describe them as meddlesome idiots, I changed the topic.

“Those two …” Who exactly are those two people who were messing with the plane? ”

“Hey! Don’t mention it, I don’t know who it is. These two people booked two tickets through our travel agency, so they aren’t part of this group! I only learned about these two people when I arrived at the airport. ”

“Are they really arguing about something like boiling water, as the news says? Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case! ” I continued.

“I’m not sure about the details. At that time, the plane was already flying at an average speed. I was a little tired, so I closed my eyes to take a nap. Suddenly, the woman shouted and quarreled. The man also said that he was going to blow up the plane as if he had eaten gunpowder!”

The business manager looked around, leaned his head close to us, and said in a low voice, “Actually, I also feel that something is amiss. At that time, I also reported it to my superiors, and my leader told me not to speak carelessly. He even transferred me over here …”

“What’s strange?” I asked in unison with the Taoist.

“I think those two are doing it on purpose! They just want the plane back! “
