Chapter 68: Overseas Mercenaries

There is a village on the edge of the desert, which has also been used as a temporary location base. The desert and the sea are the main objects, so you should stay here for two days. A lot of people have a lot of fun watching people riding camels on TV. But Lin Tsai wants to tell everyone that it is really not interesting at all, and the camel is very smelly. You can't wash it off with ten bottles of shower gel. And celebrities don't have to suffer from this, they have rented sand cars.

Anyone who has ever been to the desert knows that the edge of the desert is really not beautiful. But if you can go deeper than ten kilometers, the scenery is very different. The bigger challenge of the desert is temperature. It can reach 50 degrees during the day and zero degrees at night. But the effect of the scenery is very good. In the middle of the desert, a lonely man dances in the middle of a sea of sand. Even Li Qi, who doesn't have many musical cells, feels pleasing to the eye. Because of the hot weather during the day, the best time to shoot is in the evening and early morning. The team set up camp in an oasis 25 kilometres from the village.

Five or six tents, the actors had sleeping bags that had been airlifted in advance, Lin Tsai and Li Qi were dumbfounded, although they knew the desert situation, but they didn't expect to spend the night in the desert. In the evening, Lin Tsai went to discuss with Xiao Lin, turned around and came back and said, "Let's not make trouble for the drama." I'm going to get something to start a fire. "There's a lot of dead wood.

"I'm going to catch some scorpions."

This is not a desert in the strict sense, Li Qi took an hour to bring back two snakes, as for the scorpion, the wool was not seen. Lin Tsai was a soldier, and as a navy, he had experience in island survival, and the two began to kill snakes and skin them. One for soup, one for barbecue. Lin Tsai went to the star and touched a dozen beers.

They are a few hundred meters away from the star's tent for the simple reason that they are. The director not only did not thank Li Qi for saving his life, but also in order to protect privacy and trade secrets. Outsiders like Lin Tsai and Li Qi are not allowed to get close to the circle. And the stars have to rest and rehearse the dance for tomorrow's shooting. Camera equipment and celebrity items are more expensive. Of course, the director's attitude was much better, and he would take the initiative to greet Li Qi, which almost frightened Xiaolin.

Lin Tsai came back with beer and said: "It's really not good, celebrities and models have to take a shower and change their clothes." We're running around...... Fuck, I got into the men's section. The bodyguard checked my phone twice before letting me go, alas...... My bird is not as good as his bird. ”

Li Qi smiled: "Don't say it, if you can take a few photos of Qiyue and Conghan taking a bath." Two hundred thousand, not a problem. ”

"That's right." Lin Tsai said: "Li Qi, you said that you are an infantryman, and you seem to be very familiar with the desert. ”

"Desert ......," Li Qi thought about, "I used to fight in the desert. ”

"Cross-border combat?" Lin Tsai came to ask with interest: "What secret mission?" ”

"I can't say it, and it's hard to say. That time spent half a year in the desert. It's not really a desert by comparison. Li Qi said: "In the real desert, the storm is like death. Scorpions hide in the sand during the day. You will camp in their old house, and they will rise up in the middle of the night and bite you. The Israeli golden scorpion, the most venomous and aggressive scorpion, is unguardable. We call it a killer scorpion. We were stupid for half a year, and we didn't lose our troops in battle, but we lost two people because of the murderous scorpion. ”

Lin Zai suppressed his voice: "You went to be a mercenary after you retired from the army?" ”

Li Qi was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

"The Israeli golden scorpion is a Middle Eastern specialty."

Li Qi did not deny it: "For money, I worked for a year and a half. I was about 20 years old. After the age of 21, Li Qi participated in the selection of IS's personal bodyguards, and with his strong learning ability, understanding of the Middle East, and familiarity with weapons, he joined the IS special service group a year later. Another year, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the head of the special service team.

"Twenty years old, you didn't go to college, you went to the army in high school?" …,

"Almost." Li Tou, the mercenaries are real, but the identity of the Chinese infantry is fake.

Lin Tsai asked with interest: "Are mercenaries fun?" ”

"It's not fun." Li Qi said: "However, the comrades-in-arms among the mercenaries have a good relationship. There are also quite a few Chinese. Most of them are French Foreign Legions, and they can get status after a few years of service. There are also a few in the United States, and you can get a green card after retirement. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of mercenaries, one is to give money to whomever to give his life. There is also a security company with a background. Of course, there are also some for the sake of faith. The first type of ordinary people is difficult to apply for because they have no legal protection, belong to underground mercenaries, and the requirements are relatively low. The second, like the French Foreign Legion, doesn't matter where you're from, no matter what you've done. After passing the assessment, they will be assigned to the corps. The second type of logistical support is strong, with high-quality personnel and a clear position. Every year, tens of thousands of people go to France for interviews, and only a few hundred pass the assessment. And there is a certain difference between the French Foreign Legion and the mercenaries, the mercenaries are on a contract basis, while the Foreign Legion is on a establishment system. It's no different from the regular French army, and you still have the status of a legion after you leave the army. There are recruits in major cities in France, and room and board are free during the selection period. Their slogan is that as long as you are loyal to the Legion, the Legion will give you a home. ”

"You say I'm excited." Lin Tsai drank his saliva and asked a little yearningly: "How many Chinese are there?" ”

"Probably dozens of people, by the way, you have the right to refuse to fight against your mother country. But do you know English or French? ”

"Oh......" Lin Tsai burst into tears: "Death hole." ”

"And the Foreign Legion salaries are not very high." Li Qidao: "It's good in a security company, there is no danger to life, and the work is easy. Closed down, as far as you and my senior staff are personal bodyguards, it is not difficult to change jobs. ”

"Our navy is different from your army, we rarely touch infantry weapons, and people don't like to ask for them." Lin Tsai looked to the left and said, "Someone...... Ah, from the cold. I went to wash and change clothes, got my camera, and asked for an autograph. ”

"It's not necessary, is it?" Li Qi saw Lin Tsai get into the small tent and sweat one.

"Well...... The director asked me to ask you what you need. Shen Conghan approached the fire and sniffed his nose.

Miss, it's okay to make up the reason for you to use dim sum. Li Qi asked: "Are you attracted by the fragrance?" ”

Shen Conghan smiled sweetly: "You expose me again." ”

Li Qi shouted, "Lin Zai, bring a basin out." ”

"Great!" Lin Tsai appeared, with a clean suit, a neat shirt, and hairspray in his hair. respectfully handed the dishes and chopsticks to Shen Conghan: "You, you, please." ”

Shen Conghan is wearing jeans and a long white shirt today. Unceremoniously sat on the ground. Li Qi wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. Shen Conghan asked, "What?" ”

"It's fine." Li Qi shook his head.

"It's okay."

"Well...... If you come here empty-handed to eat, will you feel a little guilty and embarrassed? ”

Lin Tsai looked at Li Qi with a murderous eye.

Shen Conghan thought for a while and then replied, "No." ”
