Chapter 579 'Ghost'

Zhong Wei smiled awkwardly: "Do you have any weight on your body besides your abdomen and arms?" ”

Zhang Ran bent down and lifted his trousers, the black weight appeared on Zhang Ran's calf, everyone had nothing to say, Zhong Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, the gap is too big, I admit defeat." ”

Zhong Wei walked to the trunk of the tree and sat down, Zhang Ran smiled slightly: "It's good to retreat." ”

'Nighthawk' whispered beside Zhang Ran, "Boss, how is Zhong Wei?" ”

"It's okay, the reaction speed is good."

"Well, I look like I'm okay, I just don't know what he thinks."

Zhang Ran looked at Zhong Wei with a smile: "Zhong Wei, are you satisfied with your current life?" ”

Hearing Zhang Ran's question, Zhong Wei's originally smiling face became serious: "It's okay." ”

"Do you have a wife and children at home?"

"No, since I joined the army and was transferred here, I haven't had time to talk about personal issues, and there is only one elderly mother at home, and now my brother and sister are taking care of me."

Speaking of his family, Zhong Wei showed a trace of melancholy, after all, he has been here for nearly ten years, and he has not returned home once, nor has he been filial to his elderly mother, which makes Zhong Wei very annoyed. And Zhang Ran thinks this is very good, there is no worry without a wife and children, at least going to the battlefield in this way will not bring any trouble to himself.

"Oh, so what are your plans?"

Zhong Wei looked at Zhang Ran and smiled slightly: "Plans?" What can be planned? It's just a day. ”

"Don't you yearn for life on the battlefield?"

“”

Looking at the silent Zhong Wei, Zhang Ran continued: "Let me tell you directly, now you have a chance to realize your dreams, just see if you are willing"

"You want me to join you?"

Zhang Ran nodded.

Zhong Wei laughed: "Hehe, give up the army to join the mercenaries? Do you think I'm so unproductive? ”

The personnel of the army have always looked down on mercenaries, which is the pride of soldiers, and in their hearts, mercenaries are eliminated soldiers, or idlers who have nothing to do, and they cannot be compared with their own positions at all.

Zhang Ran understood what Zhong Wei meant, this feeling similar to the ancient grass did make Zhong Wei unacceptable for a while. Zhang Ran took out the communicator and contacted Bai Ge, and after a brief conversation, Zhang Ran handed the communicator to Zhong Wei.

Zhong Wei looked at Zhang Ran with a puzzled face, and took the communicator: "Hey? ”

The voice of Zhong Wei's direct superior came from the communicator: "Zhong Wei." ”

Zhong Wei stood up in surprise and shouted, "Sir! ”

At this time, Zhong Wei couldn't believe that Zhang Ran in front of him could actually contact his chief.

"Zhong Wei, you were really fired by us"

"Why?"

"I don't know, that's what the superiors mean!"

"What?"

After a few brief exchanges, Zhong Wei stood stupidly in place, but the commander thought in his heart that Zhong Wei had offended someone who could not be provoked, otherwise how could the military high-ranking officials directly issue a dismissal order for a small border police officer.

Zhang Ran sat next to the trunk and said with a smile: "How? Now there are still concerns. ”

"You, you, who the hell are you?"

Zhong Wei is also a smart person, Zhang Ran can be dismissed with a phone call, and he is a regular soldier, not to be dismissed if he is dismissed, Zhang Ran in front of him is obviously very easy to do.

The five members smiled, they knew that Zhang Ran had let Lao Zheng go a little bit, with Lao Zheng's strength, this kind of thing was completely hand-to-hand, and it was very simple.

Zhang Ran: "Do you still think that we are ordinary mercenaries?" ”

Zhong Wei stood in place dementedly, completely unaware of what had just happened, only feeling confused.

Zhang Ran continued: "There are many kinds of mercenaries in the mercenary world, some join the mercenary team for money, and some enter the mercenary world for hatred, and those large-scale mercenary groups are actually the continuation of the national power in the African battlefield, to put it bluntly, we belong to the national force, but we can't get the country's recognition from the outside world, do you understand this?" ”

Zhong Wei nodded: "Well, I know that there are actually many things in the country that cannot be directly intervened, and the team needs to help them complete the task, but I didn't expect such a mysterious group of people to be you?" ”

Looking at Zhang Ran, 'Nighthawk' and the five team members, Zhong Wei's head was clouded, and he didn't know what to say.

One of the five team members stood up: "What else do you want, let's do it with us, think about the fierce battle in the passage, aren't you moved?" ”

Thinking about the battle in the passage, Zhong Wei's blood boiled, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, he could understand what he wanted, now that he was not 'fired', what worries did he have, and Zhang Ran in front of him was also serving the country, but his position was different. Obviously, Zhang Ran's work is what he loves the most.

Zhong Wei nodded vigorously: "M's, Lao Tzu will follow you." ”

Zhang Ran laughed: "Master's choice!" ”

'Nighthawk' leaned on Zhong Wei's shoulder: "Now that you have officially joined us, you should also have your own nickname as a mercenary." ”

Zhong Wei lowered his head and thought for a while: "'Ghost'." ”

"'Ghosts'?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Ran nodded: "The nickname is just used for communication when we act, and it is just a code name, just like the name." ”

Nighthawk smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello 'Ghost', I'm Nighthawk." ”

"Hey, hello, hello."

The 'ghost' walked up to Zhang Ran: "What should I call you?" ”

Zhang Ran slowly stood up and said with a smile: "My name is Sabre, but before returning to the African battlefield, don't call me this nickname, just call me the boss." ”

"Yes, Boss, then they," the Ghost asked, gesturing to the five members. The 'ghost' could see that the five people seemed to have different feelings from Zhang Ran's 'Nighthawk', but the five people were a little like themselves.

Zhang Ran explained: "They are members of the army, as for what organization they belong to, you still can't know, this time they are here to assist us in completing the task." ”

The 'ghost' smiled: "Boss, is the task related to Huang Chao?" ”

Previously, the 'ghost' knew from Zhang Ran's mouth that their target was Huang Chao, and now after a period of contact, the 'ghost' is more certain of the key person in this mission.

"Well, the Nighthawk will tell you the details and purpose of this mission later, and when this mission is completed, you will come with us."

"Let's go? Where to go? ”

"You'll know when the time comes."

"Well, well, the boss said to go and go there."

As the sky darkened, several people left their temporary shelters and headed southwest, moving at a constant speed in the dense mountain forest, and the 'Ghost' was clearly accustomed to this environment, opening a path in front of the team for the team members to move forward.

Getting closer and closer to the base coordinates provided by Bai Ge, in the jungle of the dark night at this time, the 'Nighthawk' asked Zhang Ran suspiciously: "Boss, we have been gone for two days, why haven't we seen any of Huang Chao's team members?" ”

This area is already very close to the Huang Chao base, and it stands to reason that there should be patrols or guards around here, but this place is indeed empty, except for trees and trees.

"Well, judging from our current location, we are already very close to the base, and we have not found any guards and patrols to indicate that Huang Chao has not arranged these posts, it seems that there are more defensive things here than guards."

Zhang Ran looked around, but did not find any high-tech surveillance.

The ghost said slowly, "Boss, why don't I go to the front first?" ”

Zhang Ran knew that the 'ghost' was very familiar with the characteristics of this landform, and also had the experience of fighting in this environment all year round: "Well, bring a night vision device, come back as soon as you find out about the situation, don't be reckless, remember, any of your actions may expose us." ”

"Yes!"

This was the first mission for the 'Ghost' to join Zhang, and he didn't want to mess up.

Looking at the 'ghost' who was leaving, Zhang Ran smiled: "Let's see what news he can bring back." ”

After waiting for a few moments in the makeshift shelter, the 'Ghost' slowly walked back with his head down, seemingly finding nothing.

"What's wrong?"

The 'ghost' said embarrassedly: "There is nothing, this mountain forest is terrible, not even an animal, let alone a person." ”

Zhang Ran smiled faintly: "Isn't this just a discovery?" ”

The 'ghost' looked at Zhang Ran suspiciously: "Boss, what do you mean?" What did you find? ”

"Didn't you say there weren't even animals?"

The Ghost nodded, "Hmm." ”

"Isn't it strange that there isn't even a single animal in such a large area?"

"Hey, yes! Even though some of the animals were resting, there were a lot of nocturnal animals here, but I didn't see any signs. ”

"Hehe, brothers, you have to act carefully, the animals here are estimated to have been driven away by Huang Chao, the purpose is very simple, these animals can touch the trap alarm device they installed, or the infrared alarm, only by driving away all the living creatures here, can we more effectively find that there is an enemy attack, in this area where there are no moving objects, except for people, who else can touch the alarm?"

Everyone listened to Zhang Ran's analysis, nodded, looked left and right, and found nothing.

Zhang Ran continued: "Now it seems that the only way to determine whether there is an alarm device is there first. ”

Zhang Ran took out the communicator: "White Leather." ”

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Check out if there is an infrared alarm device in my vicinity so far."

"Well, it's very simple, I just need to mobilize the satellites to analyze whether there are any different signal sources in your vicinity now, and wait for me for five minutes."

"Hmm."

Not long after, a map appeared on the screen of Zhang Ran's communicator, and the green point in the map represented Zhang Ran's location, and next to the green dot, there were many small red dots.

Bai Ge said slowly: "Boss, those red dots are the signal difference areas, and some infrared alarms are on the road you must pass, and it seems that they need to be disassembled by technology, which is not difficult for you." ”

Zhang Ran nodded: "Well, it's very simple to disassemble, and now with this signal map, it's a lot easier, but there are a lot of points that need to be disassembled." ”

"Hehe, come on!!"

After the communication was interrupted, Zhang Ran immediately said: "Let's go and remove the infrared alarm device that must pass through now, and do some work in advance while the night is dark." ”

The crowd recovered from their astonishment, stood up and saluted, "Yes! ”
