After a night's rest, early the next morning, Li Huan and his party came to the yacht dock, and after boarding the boat again, they sailed towards Langhua Island in the east. Langhua Island is located about 50 nautical miles away, and Li Huan and his island are separated by a strait between the two islands. Today, Li Huan and the others changed yesterday's extravagant and depraved style, but they all put on civilian clothes, and after replenishing the necessities, there was a wave behind the butt of the yacht and they left the port.

At a distance of 50 nautical miles, it takes about two hours for this luxury yacht to travel at full speed.

There is only a small city on Spray Island, and it can barely be considered a port city, but in reality the city does not have a real port other than a few marinas by the sea. Langhua Island is rich in tin ore, which is transported through a port on the east side of the island.

After a two-hour voyage, Li Huan finally docked at the marina of a small coastal town belonging to Langhua Island. The town is small, with only about 200 households, but most of the buildings in the town are villas, and it is clear that the town should be a rich area.

Leon is very familiar with the situation in the Philippines: "This town is the richest town on the whole island. Most of the town's residents are the island's mine owners and executives, as well as some high-ranking officials. ”

Li Huan and his party were a little speechless when they heard it, but there was no way to do it. The Philippines is such a country where the polarization between the rich and the poor is extremely serious, and those who have money can die of being rich, and those who have no money can die of poverty. Long before leaving, Leon had made several phone calls, and when they were in town, there were already four Toyotas waiting on the road outside the docks. After seeing Li Huan and his group come out, a tall middle-aged man walked over, hugged Li Ang, then pointed to the four cars, and left with a smile.

"You really have friends everywhere. Li Huan is really impressed.

"That's probably Citigroup's point, they are everywhere in the world. Shangguan Qing pouted.

"Hehe, this is a friend I met when I was in the Middle East, he was fatally injured once, and he came to the Philippines after surviving, this time we came to the Philippines, and there are many things that we helped through him. Li Ang watched Rodman take down the two weapon boxes from the yacht and put them in the trunk of Li Huan's car, while explaining with a smile, and especially responded to Shangguan Qing: "Miss Shangguan, don't say that, although Citigroup wants to interfere everywhere in the world now, we know that we are already strong in our foreign power." On the contrary, China's rise is irresistible, and where China is, we will withdraw from it, these are just my personal relationships. ”

Li Ang's explanation was purely to give Shangguan Qing face, and Shangguan Qing's face turned red: "I don't mean anything else...... Your global strategy is indeed very good, and this is something we should learn from. ”

"Okay, you guys don't blow it to each other, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming today? Let's go, we have to make a show. Li Huan got into the car.

Compared with other islands, Langhua Island is actually much smaller, the longest island is only 30 kilometers, the widest is only more than 20 kilometers, and except for the extinct volcano in the southernmost part of the island is more than 1,100 meters above sea level, the altitude of most of the other areas is about 5600 meters, and the terrain is relatively flat among other islands. In addition, because this island is rich in minerals, road transportation is relatively developed. Therefore, there is no need to rent a helicopter here, and it is most convenient to move by car.

After getting into the car, the group walked along a winding mountain road for less than half an hour, and came to a place called Tunolulu in the far center of the island, which is the area where the two locations on the land are located. It's just that when Li Huan and his party saw the situation here, they were dumbfounded.

Needless to say, this second location, there is simply nothing at all.

Li Huan and the others need to walk along a potholed mountain road all the way to the coordinate location from the town, although this road is very broken and undulating, but compared to the situation that there is not even a road in the first two locations, this is already excellent. On the way here, although the road is not easy to walk, the surrounding scenery is still good. At a glance, there are lush primeval tropical jungles and endless greenery, and the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air is also very high.

But what the hell is this?

The road crosses a small mountain at an altitude of about 700 meters before entering the Tunolulu area, so you can see almost the entire Tunolulu area from here. Although they knew that this area was a mining area before they came, when they saw the situation in front of them, everyone still didn't react for a while.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that what they were seeing was in the middle of a tropical rainforest. I saw that the area below the hill that is more than six kilometers long from north to south and almost three kilometers wide from east to west is almost a hair. Bottomless pits are everywhere, and countless huge mine trucks are moving between pits and concentrators like hard-working worker ants, and in the north and south of the mine, there are two tailings ponds more than a kilometer in diameter, which are already filled with water.

Between the two mining areas is a residential area.

This residential area is chilling to see, although it has not been hardened by the pavement, it is the surface of the soil after tamping, but the residential area the size of a small community is completely barren.

This is a tropical rainforest, and the vitality of plants is extremely vigorous, but it is here that human beings once again show the essence of nature's killers. If human logging in the Amazon jungle is a destruction of the Amazon jungle, here these small mining areas are nothing short of devastating. The area that is not growing a hair, against the backdrop of the lush tropical rainforest around it, is like a normal person suddenly having a few patches of bald areata on the top of his head, which looks so dazzling and so ugly at the same time.

Li Huan shook his head speechlessly, sighed and said: "These people who are engaged in mining are really crazy, there are not many forests in nature, but they are still wantonly destroying here, don't they think about their children and grandchildren?"

Leon whispered: "Boss, Filipinos are like this, and they will always be like this." However, judging by this level of exploitation, there is probably no hope for this place. ”

Li Huan nodded and said, "Didn't I just say it before I came, don't have any hope for this place, now that you see here, you are completely dead, right?" As he spoke, Li Huan pointed to the larger tailings pond at the southernmost end of the mining area and said, "See that tailings pond is not?" According to the coordinates, the second hidden spot is in the middle of the tailings pond. Now in this situation, how do you let us find it?"

Shangguan Qing took out the binoculars and looked at the tailings pond that Li Huan was referring to, and finally shook her head helplessly.

The tailings pond is formed by the accumulation of very fine particulate matter, with poor coagulation capacity and low air permeability and gas capacity. Lack of nutrients for plant growth, soil bacteria and microfauna cannot survive, and because of the enrichment of a variety of heavy metal elements, it is completely inconsistent with plant growth. The damage to vegetation in tailings ponds is very serious, and now in regular mining areas, in order to protect the environment, tailings ponds are occupied

Vegetation can also grow, usually with a layer of waste rock and soil about one metre thick on the surface of the tailings pond, so that vegetation can be planted to ensure maximum environmental restoration of the mining area.

But again, it costs a lot of money.

Obviously, the owners here are black-hearted guys, and instead of covering the waste rock layer and soil, they have adopted a more frantic approach, which is to choose the tailings pond in a low-lying area, so that the abundant rainfall here can directly flood the tailings pond, making the tailings pond a real pool.

It's immoral, even if you don't cover the waste rock layer and soil, don't use this method.

The only advantage of this method is that it prevents the tailings pond from producing dust. However, the consequences are extremely serious, because the water of the tailings pond will be seriously polluted by heavy metals, although the tailings pond is located in a low-lying area, surrounded by mountainous areas, so that the polluted water can not flow out, but the polluted water will continue to go deep into the ground, and eventually the entire island's groundwater source will be polluted. This process can take a long time, but there is no doubt that the groundwater will be contaminated, and even the surrounding sea area is highly likely. But who cares about this? These mine owners may pat themselves on their heads and leave here after ten or twenty years of mining, and they have nothing to do with whether they are polluted or not, but what about the people who live here?

However, they themselves are only accomplices.

Although Li Huan and the others were also scolding them for polluting the environment, such an environment also made Li Huan feel that he was even more stupid than yesterday on the sea when he came here to lure the enemy deeper. The reason is too simple, the tailings ponds here are strongly destructive and corrosive, although Li Huan knows that the skull is in Siberia, but as long as there is no problem with the brain, he will understand that there is nothing here, and the people who come here to find things have their brains kicked by donkeys in the water, and the practice of luring the enemy is obviously not enough.

"Let's go, if they have a good brain, they won't be fooled, it looks like we're going to the next place. Li Huan said, although he knew early on that the skull would definitely not be here, but he still hoped that the trip to the Philippines could lure out the people who had been following him - whether it was Aegis, sunset notes, or anything else, if Li Huan left the Philippines now, no matter where he went, he would leave with this group of troubles, so Li Huan felt that he must lure them out before leaving the Philippines.

Since this place is not suitable, go to the next place.

Leon shrugged, he didn't want to waste time in a place where it was hard to even breathe. So he started the car and began to drive down the mountain, and the three cars behind him immediately followed. But just as the car was about to arrive at the three-way intersection, several swarthy men suddenly came up on the side of the road, black and thin, looking like the local natives, but these natives were all holding guns in their hands.

Li Ang, who was leading the way in front, suddenly became nervous, the car they were riding in was not a bulletproof car, so Li Ang immediately asked everyone to stop in the mental power channel, and he stopped the car with a foot of the brake, and said: "Everyone quickly lower your head, don't look up if it's okay, we're in trouble." ”

Then, Leon pressed the walkie-talkie hanging on his ear again and repeated that it was for the two female bodyguards.

His words were heard by everyone, and then with a series of sharp brakes, the four white Toyota domineering cars all stopped, but the two domineering cars driven by Li Ang and Rodman stopped directly in front of Li Huan's car, blocking the car tightly, and the car driven by the two female bodyguards blocked Li Huan's car behind.

Standard defensive formations.

Shangguan Qing pouted: "Is it necessary? My mental power can make them all drop their guns, but they are just some ordinary people." ”

"We can't use the power of cultivators on ordinary people until we are mortally threatened, have you forgotten?" Li Huan smiled faintly: "It's okay, just let Li Ang and them deal with it." This is also what they can't ask for, and if you stop them, it will make them feel a great sense of loss. ”

What Li Huan said is true, although Leon and Rodman have always been Li Huan's bodyguards, in fact, these two people have not done what bodyguards should do at all. It's not that they don't do their job, it's just that their boss is too tough. In many cases, it was actually Li Huan who came to protect the two, not the two to protect Li Huan. There is only one explanation for this kind of thing happening. In addition to Li Huan's own strength being too strong, they have always faced those with special abilities, that is, cultivator enemies. Although the two of them had been pushed to the cultivator level by Li Huan, they did not practice the exercises, they just used cultivation to strengthen their bodies and improve their physical limits. They don't know any spells at all, so when they encounter enemies with special abilities, the two can only retreat behind Li Huan and let the boss protect them. What made the chat most uncomfortable was that not only did they not make a move to protect their boss, but Li Huan gave them a high reward that exceeded that of the bodyguards. No, that can't be called a high reward anymore, that is, almost crushing them to death with money.

Who has ever heard of a bodyguard worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

These ordinary people who suddenly appeared, suspected of being "road rage", made the two of them blood boil, all they have encountered for so long are perverts, and the two of them are really so excited that they almost shouted - finally it's time for us to show our talents?

"What are you doing!" Rodman's voice was full of excitement

I saw him take off his automatic rifle and aim at the six people who suddenly appeared through the car door. With Rodman's movements, Leon and the two female bodyguards were not to be outdone, raising their guns and aiming at the enemy.

Leon, who was at the front, held an AR15 in his hand, hid behind the door and shouted in English: "The people in front put down their weapons and lay on the ground, you have seriously threatened our safety, I count to three, if you don't put down your gun, we will shoot!"

English is the official language of the Philippines, and these indigenous men may not be able to speak English, but since they have guns in their hands, they can definitely understand English.

Sure enough, with Li Ang's voice, the six indigenous men were so frightened that they were swaying, and they were arrogant just now, but at this time they were as frightened as quails, and they put the AK47 in their hands on the ground one by one, and then lay on the ground. It is estimated that they did not expect that there would be so many strong people in these four cars. Li Ang and Rodman went up and took away the guns that several people had put on the ground, and then looked at Li Huan's car with a little disappointment: "Boss, it's solved, it's safe." ”

Li Huan was speechless as he listened to their slightly disappointed tones, how eager you two are to prove yourself.

Li Huan got out of the car, slowly walked in front of several natives, and asked condescendingly, "Who are you?" Why did you stop our car with a gun?"

"Why don't you speak!" Li Ang urged, but he also said to himself strangely: "No, this island is actually quite peaceful, where did a group of people come out of the road to rob?"

Several natives trembled and didn't dare to speak, Rodman was angry when he saw this situation, he was already tall, and his appearance was also iron-blooded, plus the momentum on his body was even worse after cultivation, he stood in front of several natives, and the kind of momentum on his body exploded, which frightened those natives even more. He kicked the native man in front of him, and the muzzle of the gun was directly aimed at the guy

"Say!"

A stench suddenly came from between the man's crotch, and this guy was so frightened by Rodman that he peed his pants. But this didn't affect Rodman, he just spat and then directly pulled the bolt of the gun, and there was a posture that you didn't speak and Lao Tzu shot you.

"#¥%......&" The man trembled and said something, but unfortunately, this guy obviously doesn't speak English, only local dialect, fortunately, as long as there is a language in this world, Li Huan can understand it, and after listening to the man's muttering for a while, Li Huan probably understood.

It turned out that on the other two roads at this three-way intersection, there were two wooden barricades erected at this time, and the barricade leading to the mining area seemed to be a regular point, but the barricade leading to the other road was clearly a barricade put together, and although this man could not speak English, with his gesture of "counting money", everyone could understand why these guys appeared here.

Obviously, the roadblock leading to the mining area at this intersection should have been set up here by the mining area to intercept unrelated people and vehicles, and these natives with guns should have guarded this intersection. The road was narrow, with ditches more than half a meter deep on both sides, and it was obviously impossible to turn around on this road, so the car that didn't know the situation had to take another road when it arrived.

These guys were hired.

Natives like them have no income on the island except to work in the mines. This morning, a group of Westerners hired them to set up barricades here, and the demands were not too high, and they gave money and weapons, and they demanded to intercept everyone who entered the mine. These indigenous men usually have no other income, so they naturally agreed to such a good thing, and honestly and unceremoniously set up roadblocks. In their eyes, this is simply a gift of money - they are paid for their weapons, and they are told that these people have coordinated the relationship with the mines, and that they will not be troubled by setting up roadblocks.

Under such circumstances, several natives were inexplicably excited, thinking that they could make a fortune, but they unexpectedly kicked on the iron plate.

They also didn't think that why would someone give money and guns to them to set up barricades, they would not think of such a complicated problem in their minds, all they could think of was to do it.

After Li Huan explained what the natives said, everyone frowned. Clearly, no matter who hired them, their aims and motives were certainly not pure. Giving money and guns and helping to coordinate relations with the mine to let them block the road and rob, this is the attitude of his own father - a group of Westerners came from thousands of miles to provide a group of natives with the same service as their own father, what kind of international humanitarian spirit is this? If these people didn't think about it, Li Huan would have screwed his head off.

"Maybe they've arrived. Li Huan suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Finally showed the horse's feet." ”

"Boss, do you mean those people who have been chasing you?" Li Ang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Impossible, we left the dock early in the morning, and today we came here is also the first boat, I also asked my friend when I got off the boat, no one else has been to this island except us today." Even if they wanted to set up a roadblock before us, they wouldn't have the conditions. Besides, boss, why did they set up barricades, you were the one who beat them up to the ground. They don't think they're so brain-dead, do they? They think they can stop us by just a few natives and a barricade on the road. If that's the case, I'm really worried about their IQ. ”

"No, you're wrong. On the contrary, if this is someone they sent, then they are quite smart. If he appeared in front of me now, there would be a big battle. First of all, they sent these natives to test me, so that they could find out what we were about without meeting each other. Second, they let these natives go ahead without themselves having to show up. Because they also know that people with special abilities cannot use their abilities against ordinary people when their lives are not threatened, let alone natives who don't know anything and are used as guns. They guessed right, even if they sent these natives, I really couldn't do it. So they sent these natives just to get a feel for us. See how we're doing. If my guess is correct, they're not far away from us right now, and they're just outside of the range of the psychic sense. That's why I say they're pretty smart. ”

"The boss seems to be true when he says this. Damn, these guys are just too insidious. Rodman spat on.

"However, I think that they are hiding outside, and letting these natives come to us, just to see if we have gained something. From their point of view, I can be sure. Last time in France they were already scared and afraid to appear in front of me easily. Hmph! It's still some special institution, they are too timid. Li Huan snorted lightly: "Let's go, don't embarrass these natives." They're just being used as guns. ”

Chris nodded, put his gun behind his back, and trotted to the barricade on the other side, and had just moved the barricade when he heard a noise behind him.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to find an open-top SUV driving up, and four men who were obviously Westerners got out of the car with guns in their hands and raised their guns against the car......

Obviously, things are not as simple as Li Huan thinks.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the four men immediately leaned on the off-road vehicle and aimed their guns at the crowd, and one of them shouted loudly as a big man about the size of Rodman. And Li Ang and the others were naturally not to be outdone, and they raised their guns one after another and aimed at the four men.

Li Huan hung a layer of spiritual power shield on himself and pulled Shangguan Qing behind him. Then, with his hand pinching a trick behind his back, the plants on both sides of the road were covered with a faint aura and trembled with eagerness, and if you looked closely, you could see that the blades of grass had begun to reflect a metallic sheen. If they dared to make any changes, Li Huan would be able to turn the blades of grass on the side of the road into weapons at the first time, sieving them at range.

Li Ang's actions also made the four men nervous, not to mention anything else, just talking about the number of people, it is more than three times as many as them, and they also have cars as cover, they have nothing here, counting on those small trees as cover, it is almost no different from no cover. The most important thing is that these four people all felt a familiar sense of crisis from Li Ang's actions, these people in front of them are definitely not ordinary people, they are definitely elites who have seen blood.

But the man with the most athletic figure did not flinch, but frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this? Also, who are you, and why are you looking for trouble at the gate of the mine? Not to scare you, once you shoot, our helicopter will be able to fly in within three minutes, and then you will have nowhere to run." ”

This is presumably the mine security.

Li Ang looked at Li Huan, Li Huan nodded slightly, Li Ang stood up, rushed down at gunpoint, walked to the car of the four people and said: "You don't need to know who we are, what you need to know is that these six people actually pointed guns at our convoy, so we are like this." ”

After a pause, Leon glanced at the deltoid part of the big man's left arm, and snorted slightly, "Ranger?"
