Chapter X: Targeting Africa
Back at the office, Xu Zixuan took down the dusty military bag that was thrown on the big closet, took out the contents one by one, and slowly wiped them clean. His movements are slow, but every movement is powerful.
"Zixuan oppa, I'm going to a far away and dangerous place to shoot a variety show, I'm so scared"
"Zixuan oppa, I'm leaving today, I really want to eat your barbecue early"
"Zixuan oppa, did you buy the clothes on your body at Dongdaemun? Can you buy 500,000? ”
"Zixuan oppa, he (Yu Ze) really didn't call me"
Xu Zixuan slowly sorted out the equipment in his hand, and his mind kept showing Xiuzhi's delicate and moving face and the bits and pieces of being with him. Thinking about it, Xu Zixuan felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, he shook his right hand, and a bright dagger flew straight to the door in a daze, and slammed into the door panel.
"Hey Yixi" Xu Zixuan got up and walked to the balcony, looking at the street in front of the building, he suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt.
"Why doesn't Suzy ask more when she calls herself? Why do you take it for granted that Korean variety shows are like RM, although it is hard but not dangerous? Why didn't I call to say hello when Suzy was filming a show abroad? Xu Zixuan pinched the iron railing on the balcony with both hands, and thought hatefully, "If I can do anything, then Xiuzhi will not be alone in danger now." ”
After silently blaming himself for a while, Xu Zixuan took out his mobile phone and found the number that he hadn't contacted for a long time in the phone book.
"Yo isn't it colorful? oppa? Why are you calling me at this time, is there something wrong? A few seconds later, Sika's crisp voice came from the earpiece.
"Xiuyan" Xu Zixuan swallowed his saliva and said hoarsely, "Where are you?" ”
“oppa? What happened to you? How is it like this? Sika, who was on the other side of the earpiece, keenly captured Xu Zixuan's strangeness, "I'm in Yueben!" Didn't I send you a message some time ago? When we were young, we are now developing in this book! oppa, are you alright? ”
"I'm fine!" Xu Zixuan said lightly, "Xiuyan, you must pay attention to safety in Yueben, I don't want you to be hurt in any way, you know?" ”
"Nirvana" Sika looked at the caller number on the phone suspiciously, it was Xu Zixuan! Why is this oppa, who seems so indifferent every day, so sentimental now? "Is something wrong with OPPA?"
"Nothing. I've had some assignments abroad recently and may need to stay abroad for a while. So OPPA can't take care of you in the near future, you have to protect yourself well, go to bed early every day, get up early in the morning, and eat regularly" Oh, that ruthless Grim Reaper actually became a long-tongued woman on the phone, nagging and talking non-stop.
Finally waiting for Xu Zixuan to finish speaking, Sika immediately took over, "Oppa, I know you must have something." But since you don't want me to know, I won't ask any more. I took those words to heart just now, and I will also return them to you, oppa, you must protect yourself and not have any accidents, otherwise Xiuyan really doesn't know what to do, you know? ”
"Well, I promise you! Work hard and wait until I get back! Xu Zixuan quickly hung up the phone, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would fall into it, and he would not be able to pull it out if he fell into Sika's gentle township.
Not long after Xu Zixuan hung up the phone, the laptop on the table clanged. Xu Zixuan knew that the information sent to him by NIS had arrived, so he sorted out his mood, sat at the table, and clicked on the folder that NIS passed to him.
There is not much information, because even the South Korean police and NIS have not collected any valuable information. Except for the video I saw in the morning, the rest of the written materials were provided by the South Korean Embassy in Namibia, most of which were confessions from members of the crew of "Kim Byung-man's Law of the Jungle" and short videos taken by on-site staff on mobile phones or cameras at the risk of their lives.
Although the information is very messy, Xu Zixuan still reads it very carefully. Especially those short films shot on the spot, which are valuable first-hand information. In the shaky camera and the noisy noise, Xu Zixuan suddenly discovered a detail. He immediately paused the video, then used a professional tool to zoom in and sharpen one of the frames, and one minute later, a lone wolf logo with a long roar appeared on the collar of the terrorist's camouflage uniform.
Xu Zixuan stretched out his hand and kept stroking on the computer screen, as if he wanted to wipe the logo in the picture more clearly, and muttered, "It's you?" Daniel. Horton? So you still remember the 5 million?! ”
Daniel. Horton, the leader of the African lone wolf mercenaries and a former captain officer of the British SAS (Royal Special Air Service), was sent to Iraq to participate in the desert operation in 1991. This man was a hot-tempered and fierce man, and during the war in Iraq, he repeatedly shot at innocent civilians, killing nearly 100 people. This act against humanity was filmed by Western journalists and reported to the world through television and other media. In order to appease the public anger, the British political axe sent him back to London from Iraq, and after a military court, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison and expelled from the British [***] team. After serving his sentence, Horton left England with a stomach full of grievances and came to Africa. In Africa, he used his strength and appeal to recruit a large number of retired soldiers from SAS and SBS (Royal Marine Corps Special Ship Squadron) to establish the famous lone wolf mercenary group in South Africa, based in Angola and Namibia.
The lone wolf is a typical mercenary group with milk and motherhood. As long as the price is right, they can do anything for you. Morality, law, or even family names are not within their consideration. In 2009, when the gold mine of a domestic mining company in Angola was surrounded by local [***] armed forces, Xu Zixuan received an order to go to Angola to rescue the trapped employees back to China. Because of China's foreign policy, it is impossible for China to send a large number of troops to Angola to carry out rescue operations, and China does not have any troops or bases in Africa, so it cannot provide effective assistance. Therefore, in order to complete this mission, Xu Zixuan was authorized to allow him to find armed groups in Africa to cooperate. So, Xu Zixuan was introduced by a local intermediary and met Horton, and also came into contact with the lone wolf mercenary group.
It has to be said that although the lone wolf asks for a high price, its overall strength and individual strength are first-class in Africa. With the cooperation of the lone wolf, Xu Zixuan led the rescue team into the tiger's den, and after a bloody battle, rescued the employees of the Chinese company trapped in the gold mine from the armed men of Angola [***]. But it was at that time that the greedy character of the lone wolf was undoubtedly exposed. After discovering that there were still a lot of unfinished gold sands and diamonds in the gold mines, Horton believed that these materials were the spoils of a lone wolf and demanded that Xu Zixuan and the Chinese company hand them over unconditionally. As a member of the national special forces, it is impossible for Xu Zixuan to hand over the country's things to a mercenary group so casually, so a contradiction arises. Later, the lone wolf regiment not only did not help the rescue team get out, but turned around and colluded with the [***] armed forces in Angola and turned their guns to deal with Xu Zixuan. After countless battles, Xu Zixuan and the rescue team finally successfully embarked on the road back to China with employees and supplies, but the losses were also quite heavy.
"Horton, you're looking for death" Xu Zixuan looked at the screen and said fiercely, "If Xiuzhi has three longs and two shorts, I want your lone wolf entire army to accompany the funeral!" ”
After reading the information provided by NIS, Xu Zixuan dialed Jin Guoren's phone.
"Team Leader Jin, I'm Xu Zixuan." Without any greetings, Xu Zixuan went directly to the topic, "I have already understood the information you provided, did the other party propose to pay the money somewhere?" ”
"Nope! So far we have not received further news! Xu Zixuan, what do you want to do? How do you need to cooperate with you? ”
"Money, I need a lot of money!" Although Xu Zixuan is not short of money, after all, this is for the Korean political axe, and Xu Zixuan has no obligation to use his own money to do business.
"It's okay with the money. A dedicated account number and password have been provided in the information, and you can transfer money anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection. Don't need anything else but money? We have selected a capable operational team in South Korea's special forces and are ready to wait for orders. In addition, we have informed the embassies of Namibia and neighbouring countries that they are required to provide you with all necessary assistance within the scope of their law. ”
"No need! I don't have any confidence in your South Korean special forces, so let them stay in the country and scare the people! I will use my own way to rescue this time, and I hope that you political axes will not interfere. By the way, book me a flight to Johannesburg tonight, the sooner the better! ”
"No problem. However, Xu Zixuan, there are some rules that I still want to emphasize to you that this rescue operation is not recognized by the South Korean political axe, and everything you do in Africa has nothing to do with the Korean political axe. Once the rescue fails, the Korean political axe will not recognize the rescue operation, let alone your relationship with the political axe. ”
"Understood! But in my Grim Reaper's dictionary, there is never such a word for failure. Without further ado, let's get to work! During my time in Africa, if there is any news, do you have to keep me informed? Xu Zixuan said confidently.
"Don't worry, although your actions have nothing to do with NIS, our goal is the same!" Jin Guoren hung up the phone decisively.
At 6 o'clock that night, Xu Zixuan took a Korean Air flight to Hong Kong, and after staying in Hong Kong for four hours, he took another flight to Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa. (To be continued.) )
