Sheldon also knew that his so-called return to Oskia would actually be Charlie escorting him to the Wade family's ancestral tomb so that he could grovel in front of Curtis and confess his sins, which was essentially an outright insult to Sheldon.

However, even if that was the case, Sheldon was really looking forward to this day, and he was hoping that it would come quickly.

This was because Sheldon knew one thing very well in his heart, and that was, 'If I were to continue staying in this godforsaken place in Hamed's base, there would be absolutely no way for my family to know about my whereabouts at all!'

'However, if Charlie can allow me to return to my country, then even if that means that I would have to go to the Wade family's ancestral tomb and grovel and confess my sins, there is still a certain opportunity for me to let the Schulz family know about my specific situation!' 3

'Perhaps my father might even have a way to rescue m e and get me out.'

'If that cannot be done, my father can go and negotiate with Charlie. At most, he could just give up some benefits in exchange for getting me back.' 1

'So, even if there is only a one percent chance of this happening, it is still better than having no chance at all!'

During this period of time, Sheldon's life in Syria had not been easy.

The tough living conditions were fine. Although he could not adapt to it at first, he slowly began to accept it as the days passed by. 2

However, what made Sheldon feel really depressed was that during this recent time, Sheldon did not know what was wrong with Hamed. The latter had begun building his infrastructure within this mountain! Sheldon could hear the deafening sound of construction works twenty-four hours a day on the surrounding mountains. The sound of various machinery roaring also surrounded him.

Based on his observation, the base had already built more than one concrete mixing plant which produced concrete non-stop twenty-four hours a day. After that, the high-pressure concrete pump was used to transport the concrete to the surrounding mountainside, station by station. As for the surrounding mountainside, there was also the sound 0 f explosives coming from the mountain from time to time. The cannons were fired at any time, and sometimes, the cannons were even fired in the early hours of the morning.

Whenever the cannon was fired, it would be accompanied by a wave of the ground shaking.

This was already bad enough, but what was even more annoying was that every time the explosives hit the mountain, there would be countless jackhammers, and the jackhammers roared like the sound of heavy machine guns.

The sky has just brightened up in the Middle East at this time, and Sheldon had finally fallen asleep two hours ago under the roaring sound of the machinery.

After just two hours of sleep, Sheldon then heard the sound of several explosions rumbling outside, and the vibration from the explosion nearly caused his roof to collapse. Sheldon was awakened from his sleep, and he had quickly run out of his house because he had thought that a war had erupted.

As soon as he ran out, he was immediately spotted by a soldier who was standing on guard on the roof opposite him, and the soldier had immediately pointed his gun at him and shouted angrily in Oskian dialect which was not very fluent, "What are you doing?! I'll shoot you if you try to run out again!"

Sheldon was so angry that he had cursed and blurted out, "Why the hell are you still keeping an eye on me?! The enemy has already fired their cannons at us! Why don't you rush up to the front line to provide support?!"

When the man heard this, he lowered his gun and waved his hand as he said, "Don't be afraid. There is no war. That is our military engineering corps at work to open up the mountain. They've detonated six working surfaces at one go just now, so the movement was slightly bigger. It's just a trivial matter!"

"F*ck!"

Sheldon jumped up and cursed, "Are you guys crazy?! Why are you firing the cannons non-stop all day and night?! After firing the cannons, more than one hundred sets of jackhammers will then be causing a loud commotion on the mountain regardless of whether it is day or night. There are also more than a dozen air compressors. That broken thing always starts rumbling loudly suddenly as if it is having a f* eking Parkinson's seizure. How the hell do you expect people to live like this?!" 6
