Chapter 8 The rain is coming
Just like the gusts before the rainy season in Africa are approaching, a really incredible news spreads at the oasis base - someone has discovered uranium mines with extremely high content in Viper Canyon, and the primary prerequisite for mining these uranium mines is to completely clean up Viper Canyon!
Because there is no need to let the mercenaries know about some reasons, the cleaning operation must be completed within twenty-four hours after the commission is issued!
No one can tell the original source of the news, but the mercenaries or agents who came into contact with the news all looked mysterious.
Almost all of the agents in the two communication bases occupied a computer terminal, sneakingly reporting to their respective funders the news they received, and hoping to hear an accurate reply from the funders. The mercenaries who were said to have received the task also began to evade and purchase weapons and equipment.
Although all mercenaries who purchased equipment claimed that this was just a routine weapon and equipment supplement, everyone who heard this answer scoffed at the answer - mercenaries are not those arms dealers who make money by hoarding and short-term dumping. For them, a problem that can be solved with a dagger will never waste a bullet!
Rumors...or information that was pieced together intentionally or unintentionally has become unstoppable mainstream information at midnight. Hummers and wheeled armored vehicles are filled with oil, and mercenaries after brigades fill their magazine bags with enough bullets. The atmosphere of war is approaching permeating the entire oasis base.
The consequence of these actions is that the weapons dealers in the Oasis base have increased the price of weapons almost at the same time. Especially those vehicles suitable for sand chases and weapons with night vision functions have suddenly become priceless. The agents who are busy and anxiously stare at the computer screen with their eyes, or hold their satellite phones tightly waiting for the news, for fear of missing any information.
Almost without realizing it, disputes began to spread within the oasis base. In order to compete for a weapon that looks more important, or to block another mercenary team that looks like it may hinder one's wealth, the two mercenaries began to draw their guns at the same time. Those agents who are intriguing for their own leaders are also summoned mercenaries who have long-term cooperation agreements with each other, and they are ready to fight each other at any time!
In the world of mercenaries, violence is always the king. In order to protect themselves, some agents and mercenaries began to combine temporarily, trying to make their own power the leader who temporarily ruled the Oasis base. After quarrel, curse, intimidate and threat, the mercenaries in the Oasis base finally reached an agreement - jointly carry out this anonymous commissioned mission, and allocate the final benefits based on the troops dispatched by all parties and the results of combat!
More than fifteen strong agents assumed credit guarantees and interests for this agreement. In the following two hours, the convoy lights whizzing from the oasis base almost brought the dawn of this arid country to an early age...
Seeing one car full of mercenaries driving into the darkness coldly, Tang Guoming sighed long and turned to look at Gu Weisu who was standing beside him: "This effect can be achieved in less than ten hours, and it's a good job!"
Grinning disapprovingly, Gu Weisu stretched the military laptop in his hand to Tang Guoming: "This is the credit of Pan Guan and Harbala. At least twelve rotor-type drones hung on the heads of the mercenaries who came out of the oasis base, with a battery life of at least forty-eight hours. In other words, all the actions of those mercenaries are under our noses!"
Taking the military laptop, Tang Guoming casually said while checking the flashing screen on the computer screen: "Where are those agents? What are you busy with now?"
After reaching out and clicking on the laptop a few times, Gu Weisu pointed to the agents who were flashing on the screen, clutching the satellite phone and talking non-stop, saying, "I'm still suspicious, but they dare not refuse to accept such a commission. After all, the financial owner behind them gave them the right to deal with the situation. It is definitely not their style to let go of such a large piece of fat! By the way, according to the ambiguous information given by Pan Guan, if I don't know the inside story, I might believe that there is uranium mine in Viper Canyon?"
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Tang Guoming chuckled in a low voice: "Forged information and incitement to fight, Pan Guan's strength is this. Kung Fu that has not been practiced for several years, but his foundation is still there, which is really good!"
Wiping the oil on his hands with a piece of cotton cloth, Harbala strode to Tang Guoming and shouted to Tang Guoming: "Boss, all the vehicles have been modified, and the weapons and equipment have also undergone preliminary modification and debugging. When will we set off?"
He reached out and called out the topographic map of Viper Canyon on the computer screen. Tang Guoming pointed out several roads on the topographic map and said: "The mercenaries who set out from the Oasis Base launched a clamp attack in two directions. This can be seen from their driving route. Since it is a cleaning operation, they will definitely not kill all the armed personnel in Viper Canyon. At worst, they will drive them away!"
After checking the two paths displayed on the computer screen, Tang Guoming pointed at the other paths and said, "Eric was a hostage kidnapped from the Republic of Dava. When his subordinates escaped from the Viper Canyon, they will definitely not return to the Republic of Dava, so there are only two roads left!"
Looking at the map displayed on the computer screen, Bao Lei reached out to hit the bridge on one of the paths a few times, and called out a real-time image of the bridge: "Give me fifteen kilograms of explosives, I can let the bridge fly directly to the sky!"
Pointing to the only remaining road, Pan Guan frowned and said, "But the road left behind is basically desert highways, and it is difficult to find even a terrain that can stagnate the highway. If we rescue hostages on this road, what if the desperate men under Eric take hostages and forcefully attack...we are afraid we can't stop it, right?"
He turned his fingers and pointed to the heavy truck that had been welded or mounted on bulletproof boards. Bao Lei shouted confidently: "Today, I bought a lot of good goods with the boss, which is enough to deal with this kind of situation! Master, let's go quickly? If you are too late, you will not be able to catch up?"
Looking up at the star Qi who was faintly visible in the sky, Tang Guoming looked back at Pierre's office: "We have something to do - you are ready to go, I'll talk to Pierre and Peinan!"
He strode into Pierre's office. Before Tang Guoming had time to speak, Pierre had jumped up from the chair and whispered to Tang Guoming: "My God... how did you do it? Just after leaving my office for a few hours, you were playing almost all the agents in the oasis base upside down?!"
Without answering Pierre's question, Tang Guoming turned his face and looked at Peinan, who was sitting in the corner of the office, holding a bottle of beer and drinking, and said in a deep voice in Chinese: "Are we still on the same boat now?"
Putting down the bottle of wine in his hand, Pei Nan nodded at Tang Guoming: "Of course! To be honest, I didn't plan to join this hostage rescue operation at first, but after seeing what you did... I think I changed my mind?"
After glanced at Pierre who was blinking his eyes and looking at him and Peinan, a smile suddenly appeared on Tang Guoming's face: "So... how about we divide the work and cooperate?"
He nodded quickly, and Peinan responded and replied: "No problem - you are the boss! What do you need me to do?"
He reached out like lightning and pulled out a steel thorn as thick as a sweater needle from the side of the trouser seam. Tang Guoming flipped his hand and stabbed the steel thorn into Pierre's neck. Without waiting for the shock, Peinan, who jumped up in shock, spoke. Tang Guoming had already helped Pierre, who had fallen down, and sat on the chair: "Look at our money here, don't go anywhere!"
After looking at Pierre, whose breath suddenly became heavy, but his face did not change much, fell asleep in a deep drowsy way. Peinan looked at Tang Guoming with some difficulty: "That's all?"
Gently pulling out the steel spike that penetrated Pierre's neck, Tang Guoming stuffed the spike into the hidden bag next to the trouser: "Now, the only one who can ruin our business is Pierre! As long as Pierre can remain silent before we complete the rescue operation, I will naturally finish the rest! Remember - before I come back, you must ensure that there is no trouble here!"
Gripping his teeth hard, Penan bent down and grabbed a bottle of strong wine, and fell on Pierre: "Is this excuse appropriate for a drunken situation that lasts for at least twenty-four hours? As for Pierre's men and Eric, I will make my people look forward to them!"
Turning around and walking out of Pierre's office, Tang Guoming quickly jumped into the Hummer that had already started the engine, nodded to Bao Lei, who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Go away and walk the northeast path!"
Bao Lei, who was slightly stunned and driving forward, looked at Tang Guoming in surprise: "The path to the northeast? Let's not go to bomb the bridge first?"
Close your eyes slightly, Tang Guoming whispered: "That bridge is useful! I will rest for four hours, and then change me to open!"
After agreeing, Bao Lei grabbed the communicator and contacted Harbala, who was on a heavy truck, and quickly rushed towards the direction of travel designated by Tang Guoming...
The wind at dawn gradually became soft and warm from the initial slight chill. When the sun jumped out of the horizon, the wind pouring in from the car windows quickly became hot. Although we were in a war-torn area, the scenery of nature was still beautiful. Looking around, a landscape filled with the wild meaning of black Africa can really make people feel relaxed and make people feel a little more energetic.
Running along the winding road, when the sun was already high in the air, Tang Guoming, who was originally in the car, opened his eyes suddenly and reached out to pat Bao Lei's arm: "I'll drive it!"
He obediently parked the car on the side of the road. Bao Lei pointed to the military computer hanging in front of the driver's seat: "The mercenaries were like chicken blood, and they ran all the way. Two cars overturned on the way, but the other cars didn't even stop, and rushed towards the Viper Canyon!"
After rubbing his eyes gently, Tang Guoming asked in a muffled voice: "Judged at their speed, when will they reach Viper Canyon?"
After silently calculating the speed and remaining distance of the mercenary convoy, Bao Lei pointed to the clock displayed on the military computer: "In ten hours, they will almost reach the viper canyon. Judging by the usual warning distance in the combat area and the combat experience of those mercenaries... the fastest time for them to launch an attack should be around twenty o'clock in the evening!"
After looking at the path distance displayed on the computer screen, Tang Guoming neatly took over the driving responsibilities given up by Bao Lei: "We can get ahead of them one hour! Thunderbolt, there is a problem with the deployment of a confusing mine array of at least two hundred meters in an hour?"
Chapter completed!
