Chapter 307 - 293: The Room of Death
Gao Yi was completely unable to participate in what came next; he had already done everything within his power.
Khalid called two of his men over to instruct them in hushed tones. Whatever he said remained unknown, but the pair left with solemn expressions, driving over a car. After some discussion, they placed the severely wounded Joelson into the compartment of a small panel van.
Poor Joelson was anesthetized once more, placed into a long crate and covered with a carpet. Ventilation holes were left at the bottom, and more crates were stacked on top of it.
They provided the basic guarantees for Joelson’s life, but they could hardly be said to be taking great care, let alone exhibiting any sort of respect.
Then, the two of them set off in the vehicle.
The driver did not carry a gun, but he had a bomb hidden on his waist that, with one pull, would ensure instant disintegration.
The passenger in the front seat had a handgun hidden on him and a rifle under the seat; he did not carry a bomb because, if they encountered a checkpoint, he might need to get out and open the van doors for the soldiers to inspect. Carrying too much could easily lead to discovery.
The two men left the location where Gao Yi and his companions were hiding and drove towards the port of Tripoli.
Khalid had said that once they arrived there would be someone waiting to meet them. If everything went smoothly, there was no need to return. If things went awry, they were to flee if possible; if not, they were to blow up themselves and the car to smithereens.
Indeed, the drivers encountered checks on the road. No sooner had they reached the intersection of the main road than soldiers, armed to the teeth, were inspecting every car.
