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 i n 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 g o 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 i t 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!
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 n o war. That is our military engineering corps at work t o 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
