Chapter 4: I almost lost my life just for checking in. Did I break a cardinal rule by checking in?
In the center of the red field of country E.
Jiang Chengcheng looked at the e-country bank card and 2 yuan in general currency that had inexplicably appeared in her bag, and rarely praised the system's efficiency.
Originally, the first thing Jiang Chengcheng did after getting off the plane was to go to a nearby bank to exchange her local currency.
However, the system seemed to have known her plans in advance, and directly converted all the previous travel expenses of 100,000 yuan into E country currency, which saved Jiang Chengcheng a lot of time.
Of course, what made Jiang Chengcheng happiest was not the convenient currency exchange, but the four check-in locations provided by the system. Apart from Lake Bel, the other three were very close to each other, and almost all of them were concentrated in the one scenic spot, Red Field!
This also means that Jiang Chengcheng can visit three attractions at the same time without spending too much effort.
This is a godsend for someone as lazy as Jiang Chengcheng!
Forehead…
At least until she reached the Kremlin ticket queue, Jiang Chengcheng genuinely felt it was a perk…
And she held onto this foolish idea until…
Keep going until you can see a huge, long queue of people at the ticket booths not far from the Kremlin!
Nima!
Jiang Chengcheng took a deep breath, her mind filled with complaints.
Nobody told her that she had to wait in such long lines abroad!
Few people agree!
Oh, they're all tourists from abroad, that's fine then...
then…
During her brief restart of life, Jiang Chengcheng had a magical experience: she spent an entire day at three scenic spots located within a few hundred meters of each other…
Hmm... Three minutes to clock in, five hours to queue...
Only then did Jiang Chengcheng feel fortunate that the tickets were provided by the system; otherwise, with a two-month reservation period, she would have already declared it game over.
Of course, this is something.
at this time.
Jiang Chengcheng spent an hour before finally managing to get into the Kremlin.
Because of her thick skin, she even managed to sneak into a tour guide's explanation from a Chinese tour group.
Not many people traveled abroad in 13, and the Chinese people were generally quite simple and honest. The tour guide saw that Jiang Chengcheng was just a child and guessed that she might be there to broaden her horizons, so he didn't mind. After pausing for a moment, he continued his explanation.
The tour guide was indeed a professional; he spoke fluently and eloquently about the Kremlin, and Jiang Chengcheng listened with great interest. After the trip, she gained a general understanding of the Kremlin.
The Kremlin is an architectural complex in the country of e, located in the heart of Moko. It is the symbol of the e Federation, the location of the e Presidential Palace, and was once one of the residences of the e Emperor.
The full name of the Kremlin in the E language means "inner city".
Located on the Borovitsky Hill in the very center of the capital of country E, it is bordered by the Moko River to the south, Alexander Garden to the northwest, and Red Field to the northeast, forming a triangle.
There are 18 towers on the outer wall, scattered on the triangular palace wall. The most magnificent and famous of them is the Savior Tower with a bell.
In addition, the Kremlin is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," a symbol of the country, and one of the world's largest architectural complexes.
However, none of these things matter to Jiang Chengcheng!
Because she also needs to spend about three hours visiting two other attractions!
After leaving the tour guide group, Jiang Chengcheng followed the map and circled around for most of the way before finally finding the check-in location.
Yes, you heard right, this thing even has designated locations for check-ins…
Just like those shared bikes where you can never find a parking spot after successfully scanning the code!
Jiang Chengcheng had already tried to clock in dozens of times along the way, but the attempt still failed...
This is ridiculous and speechless!
the other side
By the time Jiang Chengcheng reached the deepest part of the destination, she was exhausted.
She was bent over, panting heavily, and did not notice the sentry calling her from not far away.
After finally calming down, Jiang Chengcheng stood up and walked away, holding the selfie stick she had prepared when she left home in her right hand, and raising the classic Chinese peace sign with her left hand to take a picture behind her.
Click!
"Ding, Kremlin has successfully checked in."
The camera clicked softly, and a system voice sounded in my mind.
Jiang Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally successfully checked in!
However, before she could even exhale completely, a sentry in a Russian military uniform pointed his gun at her!
no? !
Dude, it's just checking in, it's not that serious!
"It's ok."
Just as Jiang Chengcheng thought she was about to lose her life, seeing the gun in front of her, a man's voice suddenly came from behind her.
The man was speaking English, and Jiang Chengcheng didn't understand what he was saying.
However, the sentry next to him understood, put down his gun, and stood at a standard military posture.
It was only then that Jiang Chengcheng realized there was someone behind her. She slowly turned her head, wanting to see who the man who had saved her from danger was.
If the two could communicate verbally, Jiang Chengcheng would definitely say something without any backbone.
Thank you, bro, you saved my life!
moment.
What came into Jiang Chengcheng's view was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
She looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, not very old at all. Despite having a typical foreign appearance, she gave Jiang Chengcheng a sense of déjà vu.
This person...
She seems familiar.
However, this was not the time for her to reminisce.
Jiang Chengcheng removed the selfie stick, opened the translation app on her phone, typed out a line of text, and handed it to the man in front of her.
"Excuse me, this is my first time traveling abroad. Did I do something wrong? I'm really sorry."
Jiang Cheng handed the phone to the man with a puzzled expression.
"It's alright, but this is deep inside the Kremlin, very close to the president's office, so tourists are not allowed inside. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
The man took the phone and replied in English.
⊙w⊙! ?
Only then did Jiang Chengcheng understand why the older man next to her had pointed a gun at her!
This is like a foreigner visiting China and going straight into Zhong Nanhai!
You're almost at their hometown, and you're still taking pictures. They're already being very lenient by not arresting you on espionage charges!
"I'm sorry, I don't know the way. I'll leave right away!"
Once she realized what had happened, Jiang Chengcheng looked apologetic and apologized repeatedly. She put away her phone and turned to leave.
"and many more!"
Before Jiang Chengcheng had gone far, the voice came from behind her again.
Jiang Chengcheng stopped and turned to look at the man, her expression full of confusion.
"You dropped something." The man spoke in a language Jiang Chengcheng couldn't understand as he bent down, picked up the matryoshka doll ornament from the ground, and handed it to Jiang Chengcheng.
Jiang Chengcheng bought these dolls near Chichang and later hung them on her backpack.
"Thanks, bye."
Jiang Chengcheng took the matryoshka doll keychain, nodded to the man, and then turned and left.
……
"Sir, are you just going to let her go like this? She took pictures just now..."
Not long after Jiang Chengcheng left, the sentry standing nearby looked conflicted.
"It's okay, she's just a foreign girl, and she didn't even take any pictures."
The man smiled slightly; beneath his masculine appearance, his expression was remarkably gentle.
