The yellow sand, moving with the wind, forms a dim curtain that envelops the rolling sand dunes and stone huts in the distance, and the sparse figures are faintly visible, but the bright colors are barely visible. The only vegetation was low, pale grass that could not be named, and it was only three or five clumps huddled together weakly, struggling to resist the onslaught of thirst.

It's a land of three continents, where black gold is inexhaustible, where there are hanging gardens, where merchants who pass by tell lonely stories, and where the Solomonic dynasty rises.

But at the moment, there is no hope in sight.

Hassan Sharif's left eye was looking out the window, and his right eye was covered in a large, dark scar that had been torn off along with the skin around it ten years earlier from shrapnel from a shell. He was dressed in a military uniform, with an M1911.45ACP pistol on his desk, and two masked and silent soldiers standing in the doorway, like two lifeless sculptures.

For so many years, I have fought in all directions, and I have never been defeated, but at the same time, I have forgotten what I am fighting for. This is sad. Most people call them terrorists, or terrorist organizations, which are some very bad words anyway. Fuck it, who cares about these things. Hassan cursed inwardly. They have more advanced weapons, they have a more developed economy, they are qualified to define everything, and they can go to great lengths against our land in the name of their God. Fortunately, Allah protects him, and there are various forces behind him to support him.

But he found that although these forces were all supporting him behind him, they were slowly working in different directions. And this trend is becoming more and more obvious - if you don't get out early, I am afraid that one day, I will be torn apart with this country and this ancient land.

He looked out the window at the scene, there were civilians running quickly with baskets, countless soldiers guarding the gate, and heavily armed soldiers on the guard tower, on the opposite roof, and by the side of the military off-road vehicle. Compared to ordinary terrorists with RPGs and AK-47s, the equipment of this army is indeed unusual - an unknown cannon is sandwiched high, the slender and square muzzle is aimed at the sky, and the faint purple light emits from the box at the end of the cannon, which has an air of mystery. Compared to the tattered scenery around it, it seems that this high-tech cannon should not be here.

"Since you've given me that power," Hassan turned and sat back down at the table in a mumble to himself, "then you should put it to good use." ”

The door was pushed open heavily, and the soldiers guarding the door subconsciously flashed to both sides, and a ragged figure stumbled in, seemingly exhausted.

The soldiers on both sides stepped forward to help the man to his feet, and Hassan looked at him coldly, as if he already knew everything.

"The ...... of the East The man of the Third Unit ...... was dressed in rough clothes, and blood spread from his shoulder sockets, staining his tattered uniform.

Hassan nodded, holding out his hand to signal him to say no more.

Two soldiers helped the man out. Although his gun power is many times stronger than that of ordinary armed forces, these things seem to be flowers in the moon mirror in the water.

Especially when compared to "them".

"All personnel are ready to go into a state of readiness," Hassan sat down, turned the communication system in his ear to his lips, and looked at the gun on the table with a frown, "once we are in range of fire, we will shoot and kill." ”

Who was the first team to get here?

After giving the order, Hassan began to hold his face in one hand and knock on the table with the other, and the continuous and regular "click" sound filled the room, and the anxious atmosphere continued to ferment.

Outside the window, gunshots rang out incessantly, and lilac light filtered in through the window.

Let's let it go, maybe there is still hope of survival. If you give up, death is inevitable.

His remaining left eye stared at the void in front of him and muttered, "Bless." ”

......

"So," the white fox looked at Long Ao, who was sitting across the table, and looked down at the pile of materials on the table, "Are you taking advantage of my vacation time to let me kill someone?"

"It's true that he hasn't killed anyone in the strict sense of the word, but I think he's ready to go on an assassination mission. Long Ao looked at him, and Mu Yi stood next to him, wiping his gun.

"This Hassan ......" the white fox looked at the information in front of him and asked Long Ao, "Have been trading with us?"

Long Ao nodded: "The boss has been providing fire support to Hassan, so he has a lot of our original weapons in his hands, and now Hassan has unilaterally broken the contract, no matter which force can get these weapons, they can directly analyze and master our technology, so let's solve it." ”

"Why only let the three of us go," the white fox put down the information and looked at Long Ao, "This mission is still dangerous, after all, the enemy has our arms, perhaps, not only our arms." ”

Long Ao shook his head: "I don't know, the boss said that only three people can be sent, I think about it or let you and Mu Yi take Gu Lichuan there, it can be regarded as a exercise." ”

Without saying anything more, the white fox nodded, but secretly wondered in his heart: what kind of benefits make the boss willing to provide arms to Hassan for free, war is a game that burns money, and no one will do business without benefits.

"The mission will be carried out in the afternoon," Long Ao got up and walked out, "Hassan's forces are very secretive, I don't know what kind of weapons and equipment they have, and the number of military fighters is not very clear, you two must be careful, and protect Gu Lichuan if necessary." ”

"Yes~Yes~!" the white fox responded locally, quickly browsing Hassan's information. As Long Ao walked out of the conference room, Mu Yi slowly walked to the white fox and leaned over to look at his information.

"This Hassan is very unusual," the white fox sighed as he watched, "To be able to establish an armed regime in that broken place in the Middle East, and to fight with the armies of major countries many times, tsk, if not a military command genius, then rely on invincible equipment." ”

"What if it's both?" asked Mu Yi.

The white fox laughed and said a little jokingly: "How is it possible, won't this earth be conquered by him." It must be relying on weapons and equipment, and I think this Hassan must not only have arms deals on our side, and to be able to support such a large army and weapons, there must be other forces—and more than one—secretly helping him. ”

Listening to the white fox's speculation, Mu Yi nodded in rare agreement.

"Aren't we going to kill a big man?"

"Are we killing fewer big shots?"

Gu Lichuan collapsed on the bed decadently, the interface of the mobile phone slid back and forth under the plucking of his fingers, and the name in the address book appeared unconsciously, and he looked at the name and was silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" said Lingering's voice.

Gu Lichuan got up, looked at Ying Lan, and was a little entangled: "That, I want to call my family, but I don't know how to speak." ”

"What?" Ying Lan walked to the bed and sat down to look at him, "Don't you like people at home?"

"That's not true," Gu Lichuan smiled miserably, "I just don't know how to speak." ”

"What's this," Ying Lan laughed, "at least your family hasn't bored you yet. With that, she sighed, as if she had thought of something sad.

"Don't you like the fiancé your father found you so much?" Gu Lichuan felt that she should still be worried about the fiancé she had never met, "Although the arranged marriage is really not very good, I think your father should be the person who knows you best, don't you even want to see that fiancé?"

Yintong's sneer came: "Hmph, interesting, if you like to persuade people to meet your fiancé, aren't you afraid that your fiancé comrade will snatch her away?"

"If it's just my fiancé, I'll still accept it," said Yinglan, who got up, flicked the long hair draped over her shoulders, and walked out the door a little helplessly, "But that home is completely unsuitable for me, so I don't accept everything arranged for me." ”

Looking at her back walking towards the door, Gu Lichuan frowned, not knowing what to say, so he had to look at her silently, pouted, and continued to look down at the phone, falling into a tangle.

The clock in the room rang with a bang, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's almost time to go. Gu Lichuan muttered to himself, and leaned back on the bed lazily.

"Oh, what's the mission this time, won't let me kill people and set fires, right?"

"It would be nice if there was any wonderful experience," Gu Lichuan said as he reluctantly began to get up and get dressed, "Ah...... Forget it, you haven't recovered yet, how can you have the energy to fight with all your might?"

"I should have said that," Silver Hitomi teased, "It's really tiring for me to provide you with strength." ”

"Is that so?" Gu Lichuan heard Yintong say this for the first time, "I thought you were eroding my spirit and body, so it's like a parasite, it turns out that your strength didn't come from me." ”

"Cut," Silver Hitomi pouted dissatisfied, "'erosion' can't be talked about, at most it's just waste utilization, and you think you can kill the Moonlight Goddess with just your little muscle tissue and mental strength? ”

Is that so...... Hearing this, Gu Lichuan lowered his head and pondered.

"Are you leaving?" Ying Lan's voice evoked Gu Lichuan from the side, and he turned his head to look at Ying Lan who was standing at the door. Summer is coming to an end, and there seems to be a hint of chill in the wind, and Ying Lan is wearing a thin denim cardigan, and her lower body is still hot pants that reach the root of her short thighs.

"That's right," Gu Lichuan nodded, "The White Fox was notified yesterday, it's always okay to arrive early." ”

Ying Lan nodded: "Then I'll buy something and wait for you to come back and cook." ”

Gu Lichuan was helpless: "I thought you were going to cook......

"Are you going out too?" Looking at Ying Lan's dress, Gu Lichuan asked.

Ying Lan nodded: "Of course, how can you waste a rare vacation, go buy a few new clothes, but unfortunately you have a task, I can only let Andre accompany me." ”

"Then Andre must be very painful......" Gu Lichuan teased.

"How do you understand the joy of shopping, go first. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Ying Lan jumped out, and now Gu Lichuan was the only one left in the whole house.

Standing in the empty room, Gu Lichuan was stunned for a while, then smiled to himself, and turned around to prepare his things.

......

"Oh~ Are you here?" The white fox standing next to the fighter plane waved towards Gu Lichuan. Gu Lichuan looked over there, there were indeed only White Fox and Mu Yi in battle suits, and Andre in a suit holding a document next to him, and at first glance, it was not a posture to go together.

"I'm sorry, there was a slight delay on the way. Gu Lichuan smiled at them.

"It's nothing," Andre flipped through the file in his hand, as if to check if there were any omissions, "Originally, you didn't exceed the allotted time." ”

"This mission?" Gu Lichuan asked, pointing to the document in Andrei's hand.

Andre nodded, and was just about to speak, when the white fox suddenly came up with an arrow and grabbed Gu Lichuan's neck, and said very mysteriously: "This mission is not ordinary, have you done anything to kill people and sell goods, and it is difficult to look directly at the blood~" As he spoke, he put his other hand on his neck as a suicide gesture, and his face was still trying his best to show that terrifying look, just like the grinning Japanese samurai in the ukiyo-e, which made Gu Lichuan laugh.

Andre shook his head helplessly: "I really don't know how the boss would let you and Xingchen act separately, without Xingchen I don't know what kind of moth you can make." Then, he handed the document in his hand to Gu Lichuan: "This is the relevant information for this mission, because it is more abrupt, I didn't have time to give it to you in advance, you can just take a look at it on the plane, it's not an important thing." ”

Gu Lichuan nodded, took the pile of brand-new materials, and turned around to board with the white fox.

"Hassan Sharif......" Gu Lichuan frowned, and immediately thought of a certain artist.

"It's just a duplicate name," the white fox looked at him, still wiping the blade in his hand, "This time the task is to kill him, it may be more dangerous." ”

Gu Lichuan raised his eyes to look at the smiling white fox, and then lowered his head to flip through the information in his hand, as the information turned page by page, the white fox's facial expression became more and more indescribable.

Finally, after he finished reading this information, Gu Lichuan looked at the white fox with an incredulous expression: "Are you kidding me? Isn't this equivalent to letting the three of us go and get rid of a bandit's den! And it's also an alien bandit den!"

Hearing his description, White Fox and Mu Yi looked at each other: "What he said makes sense." ”

"Why do I feel that this mission is no less dangerous than the last one?" Gu Lichuan sat back in his chair as if he was deflated, his eyes full of uneasiness, "And this time only the three of us will go, wouldn't it be too reckless?"

The white fox shrugged: "I said you, maybe it's a little too underestimating me and Mu Yi." ”

Gu Lichuan looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, lowered his head again, and did not speak.

"That's it," the white fox leaned back and looked at Mu Yi, who was standing on the side smiling and not saying a word, "Let me make it clear to you, Xingchen will never participate in this kind of assassination mission." ”

"What?" Gu Lichuan raised his head, puzzled, "Why?"

Ignoring his question, White Fox continued: "It turns out that the assassination mission was carried out by me, Mu Yi and Ying Lan together, and we have all experienced more than dozens of times than this. ”

"Something like the sun naturally shines brightly," said the white fox, looking down at his knife, "but there are things that need to be eradicated quietly." ”

Gu Lichuan looked at the white fox, behind the silver hair and the shining sword light, there seemed to be infinite deep darkness, pouring down with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, devouring everything.
