The driver of the main driver stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward roaring, but soon crowds from all directions began to gather on the streets. All the cars on the road were blocked and unable to move. Whether the locals or outsiders were driving, they could not escape the fate of being trapped in the car.

Someone had already lit a fire not far away and started burning the tires. The sound of gunfire could be heard vaguely in the distance. Li Rusong looked solemn and patted the driver on the shoulder. The latter lit the steering wheel with a clear understanding. Lu Xun directly crossed the curb in the middle of the road and rushed to the opposite lane.

"What day is today? Why are so many people marching suddenly gathering?"

Li Mingchu asked with a frown.

"I don't know, we haven't received any information before, and today is not a special anniversary. According to the parade calendar we obtained, the next large-scale parade should be three days later."

“Is it possible that it was for us?”

"Impossible, you see, there are at least more than two thousand people participating now, and the crowd is still gathering depending on the situation. No one can organize such a large-scale event in a short period of time. You can wait a moment, I want to call the higher authorities to confirm."

Li Mingchu nodded and looked forward by the driver who was driving.

The crowd was still gathering, and the thin figures rushed up the road with wooden sticks and stones in their hands frantically, trying to block every passing car. The vehicles belonging to the locals did not intend to have a head-on conflict with the parades. If they found that they could not rush through, they immediately rolled down the window and explained, and most of them were released.

Even if one of them is occasionally dragged out of the car, the parades just stuffed them with flags to join the team.

This situation made Li Mingchu feel a little relieved. Judging from the performance of the marchers, at least the current situation has not yet evolved from public protests to complete violence. Perhaps some people have begun to be irrational, but the overall situation is still controllable.

However, in any case, it is the most important thing to figure out the purpose of these people, thus inferring the destination they finally gather, and trying to avoid the route of crowds.

The car was still driving forward at a speed. From time to time, people were lying on the window with privacy masks to try to see the people sitting in the car. Their faces squeezed against the window, looking both distorted and terrifying.

The driver did not dare to open the window and shout because he was also unsure of the cause of the parade. If the parade finds foreigners sitting in the car, it is likely to cause unpredictable consequences.

Li Rusong was still making calls, but as the crowd gathered more and more, the surrounding signal base stations had reached the upper limit of carrying capacity, and the phone soon began to become intermittent, and sometimes it even took several times to explain it in one sentence.

"What's the reason? What's the location? Just tell me these two things!"

"What? Bread? The bakery was smashed? Where? I can't hear it clearly!"

"Agriculture Bureau? I understand! I have sent you my position. You can immediately notify the embassy to see if you can take necessary measures!"

"We will now turn to Africa Avenue first, head to the suburban airport, and pick us up from that direction!"

"Yes, Li Mingchu is in the car! Yes, it's a photovoltaic project... oh, it's broken."

Li Rusong looked at the phone with no signal display and tried to call back several times without any results. Li Mingchu, who was standing beside him, acted extremely calm.

In fact, he was in sudan in 2019. The situation was much worse than it is now. Even the car he was in was attacked by a mob, but it turned into a safe place.

So, the current situation is actually just a small scene for him.

"What's the specific situation?"

He asked calmly.

"Don't mention it, a bakery near the afara supermarket has inexplicably increased its price. The bread that was originally 120 pounds increased to 300 pounds, but the clerk started fighting with customers, and this fight has a big problem."

"The Sudanese pound has been depreciating recently. It has depreciated from 300 to 670 in two months. The price of bread has been holding on to the price of the bread but has not risen, but now it is estimated that the shop owner can't stand it anymore."

In sudan, bread is equivalent to rice in China and is the main food for ordinary people. Most families consume two to three pieces of black bread every day, which accounts for more than 70% of the entire household expenditure.

When the bread is around 120 pounds, a family of three can barely survive on the income of men, but if it rises to 300 pounds, the money they spend on food will exceed the local average salary.

So, it's not surprising that the quarrel is going to be.

The only strange thing is, why is there no sign of the price increase this time?

Hearing Li Mingchu’s question, Li Rusong sighed:

"In fact, it's not without signs. We have anticipated this possibility before, but the official has not made any statement, so the locals are basically lucky. They probably think that the official will use financial funds to increase subsidies."

"But these food manufacturers probably have obtained the official next decision-making plan from within, so they just raised the price without caring about it. It was this time difference that caused a big problem."

While speaking, Li Rusong patted the driver on the shoulder of the front seat and asked them to hide their guns in advance to avoid the exposure of the weapons that would induce the unstable people and cause more serious consequences.

Li Mingchu could only sigh helplessly for such a reason.

As he felt when he first set foot on this land, the country was indeed declining day by day.

Bread for 120 pounds?

The soft girl coins are only less than 1.50 cents. In the golden age of sudan that he had experienced, no one would bend down to pick them up even if 100 pounds fell from the ground. At that time, 100 pounds was equivalent to a total of 400 soft girl coins.

Now, everything is different.

----In fact, everything has been different since the Ugly Kingdom intervened and forced the country to split it into two parts: north and south.

Putting away his thoughts, he asked:

"What's the plan now? Let's move over like this? If it really doesn't work, find a corner to get off, I know the way."

Li Rusong shook his head:

"No, in the early Ming Dynasty, you haven't been here for several years. Now sudan's attitude towards Chinese is no longer as friendly as before. Some of them blame our companies for the current economic deterioration. We cannot get off the bus casually, otherwise if we are attacked, there will be no reliable bunker."

"First follow other cars. Just walk through the core area and the road behind is easy. I have notified the company and they will also contact the embassy. If necessary, they should contact us urgently through the satellite phone on the car."
