Chapter 1877: The Place Nourishes the Person
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yi, who was on the plane, did not know what had happened in Doora.
He felt that Ji Qingyan should have left, but he never thought that she would still be there.
Three hours later, the plane landed in Mogash, the capital of Somal.
After the plane landed, the expressions of the people from Team 1 were a little unnatural, even Lin Yi.
They knew that this place was very chaotic, but the situation in front of them was still a little unexpected.
Even as the capital, Mogash seldom featured buildings taller than ten stories. Most structures were small, two or three-story buildings, many of which were partially destroyed.
The vehicles on the streets were mostly vans or pickup trucks, with sedans and SUVs being a rare sight.
Bicycles, however, have become the main mode of transportation.
The scene made everyone feel like they were stepping back into the 1980s.
“Brother Lin, are you sure this is the capital city?”
Although they were all affluent, their travels had been to famous tourist cities around the world.
No one would choose to come to Somal since visiting here was more akin to an adventure than a vacation.
“I’ve never been to a place like this either. It does look a bit rundown,” Lin Yi replied.
“It’s actually quite good,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“I came here three years ago, and back then, Mogash was in worse shape. The current scene is already considered an improvement, indicating that the economy might be starting to recover.”
Lin Yi frowned, “Is this what economic recovery looks like?”
“You should ask him, he probably knows more,” Qiu Yuluo said, glancing at Songjinmin.
Song Jinmin lit a cigarette.
“It’s partly my fault. Otherwise, Mogadishu might look a bit more impressive.” “What do you mean?”
Songjinmin pointed southwest.

“Do you see those two half-destroyed buildings over there?”
Everyone turned to look. “They look like they’ve been in that state for years.” Songjinmin nodded. “I had a mission here years ago, and I blew up those buildings.”
Everyone, “…”
‘It’s no big deal, just two buildings,” Songjinmin said with a laugh.
“We were quite humane, actually. We only targeted the buildings and never hit the locals. At that time, we only accidentally killed one old man, which was pretty humane by our standards.”
Xiao Bing and the others secretly curled their lips.
Where did this guy come from?
He actually came here to bomb them?
Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about this for now.” Songjinmin laughed and said.
‘The gathering point of Black Snake is in Baraw, Somal. That’s our current destination.”
“It’s about 100 kilometers away. Let’s find a place to rent a few cars and drive there.”
Then, under Song Jinmin’s lead, everyone walked out of the airport.
Walking on the street, Lin Yi and the others instantly became the focus of the locals.
It was as if they had seen something strange. Be it adults or children, they subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at the few of them.
Children were like this because they were curious. Adults were like this because they had discovered prey that they could hunt.
In the eyes of the locals, Huaxians were the perfect target for robbery.
They often had a lot of money on them, but they did not have the ability to protect themselves.
If there were Huaxians running around in the local area, they would definitely be robbed in less than half an hour.
The reason why no one came to rob them after a long time was because there were too many people around. No one dared to make a move in broad daylight. However, some bold people had already begun to secretly contact their friends, preparing to attack Lin Yi and the others.
Song Jinmin was not exaggerating when he said that this was an unlawful place.
After all, this was Somal, a place where pirates were prevalent. What was even more abnormal was that pirates had already become a thriving business in this place. It was a huge industrial chain with extremely regional characteristics.
When Lin Yi went on a business trip to the northeast, someone told him that every family had a few relatives who had frozen to death.
It was the same in Somalia, where each family basically had a few relatives who were pirates. novelbuddy.cσ๓
“I have a bad feeling about this,” Xiao Bing said.
“I keep feeling like they might rob us.”
“Be confident. Forget the ‘might’; they are definitely going to rob us,” Song
Jinmin said, his cigarette dangling from his lips.
“Encountering these people is actually more troublesome than encountering pirates.”
Xiao Bing looked around. “Why do you say that? They seem like locals. Could they be more vicious than pirates?”
“You’ve probably been brainwashed by movies,” Song Jinmin explained.
“Real-life pirates aren’t like what you imagine. While they do target merchant ships, they have their own principles. They won’t kill unless provoked, especially not women, children, or the elderly. And they definitely wouldn’t commit sexual assault. They’d be punished if they did.”
“Really? Are they that disciplined?”
“Absolutely. Modern pirates have a strong professional ethic. Don’t underestimate them,” Songjinmin said, flicking his cigarette ash and glancing at the menacing locals around them.
That’s why I say it’s more dangerous to encounter ordinary people here. These locals have no principles. They won’t just rob you. If they see women, they’ll have other intentions. This is why the security industry thrives here and is a primary source of income for many families. It’s almost a local custom.”
LinYi, “…”
It was really true that the place nourishes the person. This kind of lawlessness becoming a local custom was something he couldn’t fathom.
“Alright, you just needed to understand the general idea.” Song Jinmin said,
“Let’s get down to business first. There’s nothing in this Peking place. I really don’t want to stay here.”
“Let’s go.”
Even though the surrounding people were eyeing them covetously, they were not afraid at all.
If someone dared to come up and rob them, they would just kill them. It was a simple matter.
Then, under Song Jinmin’s lead, the group arrived at a large warehouse.
From the outside, it looked a little shabby, as if it had not been lived in for many years.
However, they learned from Song Jinmin that a house like this was considered very good to the locals.
Besides that, there were about twenty cars parked in the yard, mostly vans, pickups, and a few Coaster models.
The exteriors of the cars were rusted, some without windows, and the sides were dented and uneven. If these cars were in Huaxia, they would be considered scrap.
“Didn’t you say we were going to rent cars? Why are we here?” Lin Yi asked.
“This is the rental place,” Songjinmin replied.
Are you serious?” Lin Yi pointed at a few cars nearby.
“They look like they’re ready for the junkyard. Are you sure they can even run?”
“The exteriors might be a bit rough, but they can still drive.”
“Your only requirement for a car is that it can drive?”
What else? Were you planning to have a romantic moment in one of these?”
