Chapter 1033: The Fat Sheep Comes Knocking?!
Kazakhstan is indeed different from China. Although it's the largest landlocked country in Central Asia, its population is less than twenty million.
The place where Jiang Feng and his two companions entered the country happened to be the most remote and desolate area of Kazakhstan. After traveling for more than half a day, they didn't see many people or find many villages. Surrounding them were barren Gobi and sparsely populated wilderness, and they couldn't replenish their food and water supplies.
Fortunately, Akasov had thought ahead and the jeep was equipped with two spare fuel tanks, but even this couldn't ensure Jiang Feng and the others could travel indefinitely.
Almaty is located in the central part of Kazakhstan, which means that Jiang Feng and his companions had to cross at least half of Kazakhstan to reach Almaty. The difficulty of this journey can only be understood through firsthand experience.
The sky gradually darkened, and after traveling for a whole day, the three of them were very tired, hungry, and thirsty. They had no choice but to stop at a small and medium-sized cargo transfer station nearby to rest.
Kazakhstan has a small amount of green land. The vast Gobi desert was ravaged by dust storms. Situ Yan put on a headscarf in accordance with local customs, jumped out of the jeep, and negotiated with the people at the transfer station, hoping to replenish their food and fresh water supplies.
The owner of this transfer station was named Kunanbayev, a guy with a big belly.
He was carrying oil barrels into his transfer station with a few workers. When he saw Situ Yan approaching, he stopped immediately, staring at her with his lustful, beady eyes instantly entranced by her unparalleled beauty!
Situ Yan deliberately pretended not to notice his lecherous gaze and politely approached Kunanbayev to ask where exactly they were in Kazakhstan and whether there was any fresh water or food available.
Kunanbayev's eyes shifted as he replied, of course, this is a small town called Reid, and the transfer station has plenty of beer and canned beef. We welcome guests from afar.
Situ Yan smiled and thanked him, then walked back to the jeep and told Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie, "You can come down now. We found what we need here, and we can rest a bit!"
Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie closed the car doors and got out, only to hear Situ Yan whisper, "These guys don't mean well. They're probably in cahoots with the desert bandits nearby. If they try anything against us later, be prepared to let none of them escape!"
Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie understood immediately, nodded, and said nothing.
Just as Situ Yan took off her headscarf and walked into the transfer station with Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie.
The smiling Kunanbayev called over a few Kazakh young men with wicked looks, "You see, boys? The fat sheep have come to us! That chick and the two guys are from the direction of China, likely carrying something on their car that we would be interested in. Watch for my signal later. And by the way, that chick is nice, keep her alive, I want to have some fun with her!"
The young men understood and grinned more wickedly.
Situ Yan guessed correctly; they were indeed in league with nearby desert bandits. Entering Kazakhstan didn't mean they were safe. On the contrary, they were in more danger than before.
Kazakhstan has long been famous for its wars, such as the Chechnya War and the Georgian Civil War, which have affected this place. In small towns like Reid, the government has no control, and it has always been a frequent activity area for the "Desert Wolf"!
Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie sat inside the transfer station, drinking ice-cold beer while watching Kunanbayev and the young men acting suspiciously from afar. They couldn't help but sneer. They hadn't intended to resort to bloodshed today, but these people were asking for it!
With these two "Heng and Ha" present, especially with Jiang Feng there, Situ Yan wasn't concerned about Kunanbayev and his men.
She went to the bar and asked the young man inside to get her some beer, bottles of fresh water, and canned meat. Food and fresh water were essential for the upcoming journey.
Before long, Kunanbayev and the young men walked in together.
He saw the gorgeous Situ Yan sitting with Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie on high stools drinking beer and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, as esteemed guests from afar, how could you drink such cheap stuff? Please forgive my poor hospitality, Rashim, hurry up and bring down my chilled vodka!"
A tall and thin guy in the back immediately answered and ran upstairs to get the liquor. Kunanbayev, with his big belly, approached Situ Yan with a fawning expression.
Situ Yan remained polite and smiled while chatting with Kunanbayev. Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie didn't understand what they were saying and couldn't care less, just continuing to drink their beer and eat canned beef.
Not long after, Rashim came running down from upstairs, carrying a chilled bottle of rum. The bottle was emitting wisps of cold air, looking refreshingly cold and satisfying.
Kunanbayev took the bottle and told the young man behind the bar to take out three goblets. He smiled at Situ Yan and said, "Beautiful lady, you can drink, can't you?"
Situ Yan smiled and nodded, "Just a little. The alcohol here is as strong as the men of Kazakhstan!"
"Haha, well said! Then these two spirited young men can certainly drink too?"
Kunanbayev, speaking in broken Chinese, looked at Situ Jingjie and Jiang Feng and asked.
Situ Yan smiled subtly, "Don't let their youth fool you; their drinking capacity might not be any less than yours!"
"Oh? Then I must toast to you properly. We haven't had guests from the East for a long time!"
Kunanbayev personally filled the goblets with the chilled vodka and said to Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie, "Come on! Youngsters, let me have a drink with you!"
Jiang Feng smiled faintly, took one of the goblets, lifted it in a toasting gesture, and Kunanbayev also smiled and lifted his glass in response.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng flung his glass towards Kunanbayev's face, and a stream of liquor splashed like a fiery whip. Kunanbayev was shocked and quickly dodged, but Rashim, standing behind him, couldn't avoid it and was doused, letting out a heart-rending scream!
The liquor was like acid, eating away his features in an instant, leaving just bloody flesh and fragments.
Kunanbayev was both shocked and terrified, dropping his glass and standing up, shouting angrily, "What do you mean by this?"
Situ Yan, though surprised, remained composed, taking her time sipping an ice-cold beer and sneering, "I should be asking you, sir, what do you mean by serving us poisoned drinks?"
It turned out that when Rashim went upstairs to get the liquor, he had tampered with it, pouring a deadly poison into the bottle. Anyone who drank it would have their internal organs corroded and die, but Kunanbayev, before coming in, had taken an antidote, so he wasn't afraid.
"Damn it! You dare to act tough on my turf, huh? Guys, stop pretending! Kill these two ignorant brats for me! Leave the woman; I'm going to have some fun with her!!"
