Chapter 25: The Terrifying Master

  After hearing his words, I looked at Hassan with a ghostly expression, and he nodded with an even more evil smile.

  It's also my fault for changing the address without contacting them, but after all, I left a message at the hostel in Gaza City, who would have thought that these guys would make such a fuss.

  This group of people actually set out from the project department 3 days ago in the early morning, first secretly driving southwest towards Baita Village, and then suddenly changed direction to get rid of possible "pursuers". After resting and reorganizing at noon, they didn't expect that a group of foreigners would attract attention, and naturally also attracted some other unwanted attention.

  They not only had their wallets stolen in the restaurant at noon, but also had their car doors pried open and the money and valuables inside stolen. The geological exploration equipment and tools fixed on the car were all dismantled and stolen.

  This way, they lost almost all the money, fortunately, the project department's geological survey vehicle that had been opened up still had three full boxes of oil. The clever Xu Gong used the remaining money to buy a few bottles of mineral water. In his opinion, by 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, he would definitely be able to complete the battle of wits with the pursuers and successfully meet up with our department in Gaza City. With enough oil for the car and enough water for the people, they were all set.

  He set off on his own to the continuous transformation destination he had set for himself, from Al Bayuk to Jabalia, then turned west and passed through Nuseirat, continuing south, making a few turns in the city of Jabalia, then continued west and made another turn in the Rimal area before heading towards Zeitoun, passing through Zeitoun and turning west again before returning to the direction of his hostel in Gaza City.

  After a long journey, they finally arrived at the inn around 2 am. When they were exhausted and had just parked their car and knocked on the door of the already closed shop, they found that I wasn't even staying there. Fortunately, I had arranged with the inn beforehand that if Xu Gong came to find me, he could let him rest in my room. The eight exhausted people simply added another note for dinner on my account, and after a wolf-like meal, the group of eight stayed in my suite.

  This sleep was really sweet, and it also happened that there were no air raid warnings in the morning. Several people slept until 11:30 before waking up one after another. Xu Gong, who usually wakes up at 5 o'clock because he sleeps lightly as a middle-aged man, slept for more than eight hours this time, which was unexpected.

  Eight people got out of bed and had a brunch before starting to ask about my whereabouts. Okay, I admit that I left some clues, but there were too many of them. In this one and a half months, after leaving this hostel, I temporarily stayed in three other places, one of which was the mercenary checkpoint where we first transported supplies.

  I only left two addresses, which formed an isosceles triangle with their starting point that almost spanned the entire Gaza Strip. Then they spent more than half a day rushing to the hostel where I used to live, but it was already empty. At this time, Xu Gong, who was blocking the door with iron general, finally remembered to call Hassan and ask him, which led to today's meeting at noon.

  When Hassan and I went upstairs, we found that these eight people had eaten a whole tactical ration clean, which made us two surprised and sighed that this person was really scary when he was hungry.

  An Fu supported Xu Gong, who was about to get up, and briefly handed over the project department's affairs that had been resolved. He also let them rest in this room, and they didn't need to feel suffocated because of being restricted from freedom. After all, it was for everyone's safety, and it was a matter of mutual understanding.

  After arranging the food and accommodation for several people, I regret not going to see them. It's all because of this group of people that things have become like this, and I feel somewhat guilty about Jiao Ge's entrustment to me. If the arrival of these people was unexpected, no matter how hard I try to think, I absolutely could not imagine that even more unimaginable things would be waiting for me afterwards.

  Arrange for eight people to stay overnight and then send them back to continue comforting the workers' emotions. If there is no other way, organize a team to study the company culture and conduct team cultural education for everyone. It's estimated that it will take about half a month for a 400-person team to achieve this. By that time, it should be June already. I believe that by then, either something will happen or it will all fall apart, and there will be a conclusion one way or the other.

  After sending away the team, I tidied up my mood and organized my words, and sent this set of solution systems to Jiao Ge via email. Soon after, I received a reply from Jiao Ge, who praised my system and team culture learning method in his response, saying that I was very creative, had great methods, and especially had a strong spirit of action, which is worth learning for the entire group. In short, he said some words of praise.

  Unexpectedly, the team culture learning activity flourished in this overseas exploration team for a while, with two hours of lectures every morning and afternoon. Those who could speak eloquently were asked to write papers on their experiences and give presentations, making the entire team's isolated life more lively and colorful.

  After a long period of influence, even the Kassan warriors who were responsible for their safety felt surprised. I would occasionally go to the project department to give lectures on team culture education, and from time to time, I would let Hassan translate his words for these people to hear.

  Every time I don't have to deal with mundane things, I go to preach team culture. At that time, many locals will come to listen to the translation, and some local journalists will report my story in detail, even broadcasting his live recording on local radio stations. The Hamas leadership has been secretly imitating me since they discovered my team culture learning lectures, and often directly quoting my original text to explain the glory of holy war, military construction, and the establishment of an Arab state to the soldiers of the Qassam Brigades, and expelling Israel from Palestine.

  But ironically, as a young builder of team culture and a staunch materialist with a strong sense of justice, I was distorted by Hamas' leadership and intentionally misrepresented by some people, and thus became a master of spreading terrorism through misinformation. What's more, I didn't even know that I had been put on the wanted list of Israeli leaders of Hamas terrorist organization, becoming a potential target for future operations like Operation Lead and Cast Lead.
