The price is 20 times different. From this point of view, it can be seen that the Somali people do not welcome them, but Sikong Bowen and Shi Shaoying still chose this hotel without hesitation and willingly became two fat sheep slaughtered. The most important reason for this is that the "Muna" hotel is only a short distance from the Presidential Palace of the Somalia Transitional Government. Think about it, no matter how serious the war is, the Presidential Palace should be the place with the most stringent protection and the highest security factor.

In fact, people with the same idea are not just Shi Shaoying and Sikong Bowen. Even Somali government officials often live in this "Muna" hotel, which is between the Presidential Palace and the Indian Ocean coast, with convenient transportation and beautiful scenery and sufficient security. The occupancy rate of government officials is high, and most of them carry bodyguards and they also carry guns. This increases the hotel's defense power and has entered a virtuous cycle.

When Shi Shaoying's eyes fell on the second photo, an absolute chill instantly hit his heart.

The second photo is taken of the hotel reception hall. In the photo, the entire hall is full of wreckage, with debris left after the explosion, bullet holes left by automatic rifles shooting everywhere on the walls, bullet shells poured out everywhere on the ground, and corpses that were blown to pieces and charred on the surface.

With this photo alone, Shi Shaoying could already speculate on the tragedy that happened at the "Muna" Hotel that day... One or two terrorists with strong sexual sluts and steel balls tied to them, pretending to be tourists and entering the hotel. As religious fanatics, they can face death with a calm attitude and even take pride in it. So their expressions were very calm at the time and successfully deceived the bodyguards and soldiers in the hotel lobby, and walked to the center of the lobby, and the terrorists suddenly detonated their bodies.

Whether it was the service staff standing at the bar to receive passengers or the bodyguards responsible for safety work in the hotel lobby, they were all killed on the spot. Before the smoke of the explosion had dissipated, the terrorists who had long been hiding around the "Muna" hotel rushed in and had a brief and fierce confrontation with the government officials who were staying in the hotel and their bodyguards.

One side came prepared and broke the defense network that gathered most of the bodyguards in the hotel as soon as it took action; the other side responded hastily and suffered serious manpower loss. Before such a battle began, the final outcome was already destined.

That night, Sheikh Ali Muhammad Rae, spokesman of the Armed Forces Department of the Somali terrorist organization Al Shabaab, claimed in public that they armed attacks the "Mula" hotel, successfully killed 60 to 70 government officials, and arrested twelve hostages. After publishing photos of the twelve hostages, Sheikh Ali Muhammad Rae warned the Somali government not to act rashly and prepare ransoms according to their requests, otherwise, they would never mind using the blood of these hostages to prove the Al Shabaab's determination to resist foreign invaders and establish a Celestial Kingdom!

In the third photo, Sikong Bowen was kneeling on the ground with an automatic rifle in her head. A wooden sign was hung around her neck. Someone wrote a few big words on the wooden sign with shocking bright red paint. Although he couldn't understand the Arabic words, it probably said that what was written on it was nothing more than warning the Somali government not to act rashly.

Looking at this third photo, Shi Shaoying let out a long sigh of relief. As long as Sikong Bowen was not shot dead by the rebels who rushed into the hotel, he was taken away as a hostage by the other party and the other party made a ransom request, everything would turn around.

"How much do they want?"

"They said Sikong Bowen stayed in the 'Mulla' hotel and must have something to do with the Somali government, and even working for the Somali government. So they offered a million dollars, refused to negotiate with them in any form, and asked us to pay cash!"

Shi Shaoying took the ham sausage and chewed the instant noodles again, and then asked, "How did the Somalian government respond?"

"They refused."
