Next to the well, the conflict between the local Dinka warriors and Sergei was about to break out. Lin Rui sighed, stood up, and whistled. The o2 team members all took out their weapons and looked at these Dinka black people with cold eyes. Crazy Horse even opened the car door, took out a light machine gun from the driver's back seat, and hung the long bullet chain on his thick arm.
The surrounding Dinka warriors did not expect Lin Rui and others to be so tough. They all took a step back and stared at them warily. Lin Rui waved his hand and said to Yelena, "Tell them we are just passing by."
Yelena nodded and said a few words in a deep voice.
The expressions of the black people did not relax at all. The tall black man at the head stood in front of Sergey and showed no intention of retreating.
Yelena and Jiang An have a much deeper understanding of these Dinka people than Lin Rui and others. Trivial quarrels can sometimes turn into war, a reflection of life among the Dinka people. War is not allowed within the family, usually between families or between clans.
Because in Dinka society, the intricate rights and obligations in blood relationships are crucial. Without the support of a family, an individual Dinka cannot stand - he will face all dangers and threats alone. Furthermore, blood relatives are duty-bound to support each other, with the certainty that large-scale armed conflict will break out if need be. The tribal conflicts in this area are also inseparable from their character.
Jiang An whispered in Lin Rui's ear, "Don't be impulsive. Once we kill them, we may offend a big local tribe. This will cause big trouble for our mission."
Lin Rui nodded and made a gesture to ask the brothers to put away their weapons.
He walked up to the black man alone and picked up a bucket filled with water. This bucket is a flat metal gallon bucket. The bucket of water was quite heavy, but Lin Rui picked it up with one hand. The black man standing opposite frowned slightly, and it was obvious that he did not like this provocative behavior. But the next scene left him even more stunned. Lin Rui punched the metal gallon bucket and deflated it.
The metal gallon bucket was almost completely deflated, leaving a clear punch mark on it. This kind of metal bucket itself has a certain thickness, and it is not something ordinary people can do to flatten it with a punch. Coupled with the fact that it's filled with water, the resistance of the water makes it harder for the bucket to be punched like this. Lin Ruilu's move completely shocked the black people.
The leading black man took a step back and looked at Lin Rui in surprise. It seemed difficult to imagine that this man who was not tall could have such great power. He and another black man next to him murmured a few words, looked at Lin Rui and asked, "Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese?"
Lin Rui nodded. The black man's nervous face looked a little better. Because China has always maintained a sufficient degree of friendship with Sudan and has always provided international assistance to Sudan. So the locals don't have any bad feelings towards the Chinese. But the black man still pointed at Sergey, seeming a little confused and nervous.
Sergey was confused and looked down, only to find that the black man was pointing at a knife at his waist.
This is an Arabian-style knife with very ornate decorations. The guard is made of silver and gold, and the handle is black rhino horn. The inside of the scabbard is made of hardwood wrapped in cowhide and sewn with gold, silver, and copper wire. Some are wrapped in velvet in dark green and other colors. The sheath head and mouth of the scabbard are carved from precious metals such as gold and silver. The handle and scabbard are inlaid with red coral and red sapphire, and the blade is also decorated with gold and silver. The craftsmanship of gold and silver is chiseled with Arabic proverbs.
"Where did this knife come from?" the black man asked in a deep voice.
Lin Rui remembered that this knife was a trophy he got after killing the local Arab bandit leader White Camel in Darfur last year. He himself had no idea of ??these things. But Sergey is a thief who is good at art and antiques, and he can't put it down with this knife. So he gave the knife to Sergey at that time. Unexpectedly, these black Dinka people actually recognized the knife.
"It's just a trophy. I got it from a gangster." Lin Rui looked at the black man and said.
"Yours? White Camel, you killed White Camel?!" The black man looked at Lin Rui in surprise. The surrounding Dinka black people were also in an uproar.
Lin Rui nodded, acquiescing. As a result, the black man immediately put away his weapon and made a move towards Lin Rui, then turned around and shouted excitedly.
"What happened to these guys just now?" Lin Rui frowned and asked Jiang An.
"This action is the etiquette of the Dinka tribe towards warriors. It is generally only used on accomplished heroic warriors." Jiang'an whispered, "These Dinka tribe are local black people. They?There have been constant conflicts with Arab nomads since ancient times. And White Camel is a well-known gangster. So they probably think you're a hero. "
These Dinka black men put away their guns and all smiled and greeted the O2 players. The black leader also came over and explained the situation to Lin Rui and others. Someone among them had just recognized the knife worn by Sergey, and mistakenly thought that Lin Rui and others were gangsters plundering the area. That's why there was a misunderstanding.
Lin Rui didn¡¯t pay too much attention. The black man introduced him enthusiastically, saying his name was Kadan, which means running in the local language. Because he was born during the Sudanese war, his mother was on the run when she gave birth to him. He and these black militants belong to a local tribal armed force and are currently fighting other tribes. He apologized for his actions and expressed his gratitude to the warrior who killed the white camel.
Seeing that these black militants were no longer hostile, Lin Rui also told Cardin, the black man, that he wanted to go forward.
Cardin hesitated for a moment, then explained to Lin Rui with gestures, telling Lin Rui that it was a war zone and was very unsafe.
"A lot of people have died in the war in the past few days, at least one or two hundred people." Cardin became excited. "That's a war zone. It's not people from our tribe, but other tribes. They have rocket launchers and often launch shelling. Now even our local area No one dares to go there.¡±
Lin Rui nodded, "I want to cross the war zone, is there any other way?"
"There is no other way. That is the area with the most intense fighting." Cardin shook his head and said, "Unless we wait for the ceasefire, it will be useless for anyone to get close. Even the UN peacekeeping forces dare not get close. A few days ago, they also suffered losses. Several people were killed, and the situation in the oil field was also very bad."
