Chapter 096, Trapped Town
Two days later, Guan Ying and the three returned to Zhengzhou one after another, and they were all happy and excited to know something about the Skynet mission on the way. Especially Da Han, who hasn't followed Di Cheng for a long, long time, always feels empty in his heart. It's not that others treat him badly, it's just that no one really cares about him like Di Cheng, he is a little silly, but he can clearly distinguish the eyes of others looking at him.
Since the identity of the wanted criminals has been eliminated, the nominal presidents and managers of the "Tiancheng Group" can naturally take planes and trains in an open and honest manner, instead of painstakingly planning the course of action.
From Zhengzhou, take a direct flight to Urumqi, Xinjiang, then take a train all the way west to Sigelda, and then hike through the northwestern grasslands to the first destination of the mission, Huoguo.
The change of temperature difference between day and night, the strong exposure of ultraviolet rays, and various objective factors such as water and soil adaptation have caused a lot of inconvenience to Di Cheng and others, but in the face of the endless expanse, everyone's mood is surprisingly relaxed.
After a long journey full of laughter, Di Cheng and the others finally arrived at the town of Huoguo in the evening of the fifth day!
With adobe houses, criss-crossed dirt roads, and a rich and attractive aroma of meat, the town has a strong Xin-Xinjiang ethnic minority style, and you can see ethnic minorities wearing small hats everywhere.
However, it is obviously different from the other villages and towns you will see along the way, there are not only many people of color here, but also a mixed group, and there are many Han Chinese interspersed among them. The town was surrounded by a large number of soldiers stationed on the border with loaded guns, and their eyes were constantly wandering over the travelers, perhaps due to their long-term occupation, and their eyes were always a little suspicious, and the feeling of wanting to interrogate them was very strong.
The arrival of Di Cheng and others has attracted a lot of attention, and the three daughters of Anne have already made up carefully to cover the face of Allure, so naturally they can't attract attention, and what really becomes the focus is ...... The snow lion strutting beside Di Cheng!!
The people of the western frontier have a special affection for the Tibetan mastiff, the purer the bloodline, the more noble, in their hearts, this ancient and fierce beast is like a guardian spirit projected by the gods on earth, highly respected.
The appearance of the snow lion is heroic and martial, the body size is almost as big as an adult male lion, the breath is extremely fierce, and the whole body exudes the demeanor of the beast king who is not angry and self-imposing, ordinary people can see that it is extraordinary, not to mention the border ethnic minorities who have a deep study of Tibetan mastiffs. During Di Cheng's walk, there were even a few Tibetans who bowed to the snow lions devoutly.
"Blockade??" Di Cheng and the others all stopped the meat cutting knives and looked at the soldier in military uniform in front of the door. They had just found a good-looking barbecue restaurant and were about to taste the flavors of the lower frontier, when they didn't expect a gun-wielding soldier to suddenly come to the store, and in various languages they said that the town was going to be locked down for five days.
What made them even more strange was that although the people in the room shouted and scolded a few times in dissatisfaction, they did not react excessively, and some even gloated and laughed.
Anne said a little strangely: "This is an important gateway to the Golden Crescent, and a large number of drugs are transported from here to the mainland and neighboring countries every year. At the peak of drug purchases, it is normal for the town to be locked down frequently. But it's August, and the opium poppy is just ripening, and it's not yet time to refine drugs in large quantities, and it's not time to send them out. ”
"Do you understand their language? To ask? "Shalang Road.
"I can speak their language, but ......" Anne was silent for a moment, and said: "The organization has an intelligence point here, I'll go and ask for details, don't run around yet, wait for me for half an hour." With that, he got up and walked quickly out of the barbecue restaurant.
"Ziwu, you follow, don't have any accidents." Di Cheng motioned for Gu Ziwu to go with him, and if there was any accident, he would have to take care of it.
"Do you want to sneak across the border tonight? I don't want to spend five days in this place. Looking at the noisy and chaotic environment around her, Guan Ying's gentle and delicate face showed a little disgust.
Di Cheng cut off a piece of meat, put it on Ye Wantong's dinner plate, and said: "Let's talk about it depending on the situation, try not to think about sneaking across the border first, you all saw it when you came, there are many sniper stations along the border line, if you want to escape from under the noses of these experienced soldiers, you can't just think about it." ”
"Agree, no matter how strong your personal strength is, you can't compete with a sniper hiding in the shadows." Zhou Shaohua nodded in agreement.
Sha Lang chewed slowly, tasted the barbecue on the plate, and said slowly: "What's the hurry, can Soke still run?" Let him live a few more days, earn a few more days, and when the time comes, ...... Hehe, let's have a pot and hope that this so-called international drug lord is not too poor. ”
Di Cheng smiled: "It feels really good to be a robber, let's fight for a few more opportunities like this, otherwise Xiong Cai will complain that we will only waste and not make money." ”
Thinking of that lovely Xiong Cai, a little smile appeared on everyone's faces, and it was really difficult for a person to grow into that kind of appearance.
"Hey~~" Ye Wantong suddenly pushed Di Cheng lightly, and whispered: "At two o'clock in front of the right, a few people have been staring at us. ”
Everyone raised their eyebrows in unison and looked in the direction Ye Wantong was pointing.
The business of the barbecue restaurant is very prosperous, and the rough men have no scruples in eating meat and drinking, which makes the not small shop seem very noisy and crowded, in the slightly dim corner of the store, there are eight people sitting around the table eating and drinking slowly, while talking softly to each other, their eyes are always intentionally or unintentionally glancing in the direction of Di Cheng and them.
Di Cheng casually looked at the eight people in the distance, and finally settled on the Han man who looked capable, tall and thin. People who wander in the dark world all the year round or killers who make a living by assassination always have a special temperament, the most obvious is the coldness of their eyes, no matter how they cover up, there will always be a time when they leak out, and this point naturally can't escape the keen insight of Di Cheng and others.
"Hey, five men and three women, similar to what we have here." Sha Lang suddenly laughed. Those eight people are also five men and three women, a bewitching girl snuggled tightly to the man who should be the leader, just like Di Cheng and Ye Wantong; A man is as strong as an ox, although he is not as eye-catching as Da Han, but the explosive force is still clear and palpable; There is also a blonde girl, full of wildness and bewitching flowers, who can barely get in touch with Anne.
The only difference is that there are two black people and one white race among the remaining three, not Han Chinese.
Seeing the eyes of Di Cheng and the others, the eight people in the corner looked at each other, and the leader-like man picked up the mare's milk wine in front of him, and walked over with a bewitching girl and a strong man.
"Friends, Chinese?" The tall and thin man sat down in Anne's seat by himself, looked around, and then looked at Di Cheng.
"Something?" A few people continued to eat the barbecue, and they were not affected much by their arrival, only Di Cheng raised his eyes and asked casually.
The man laughed softly, raised the big bowl of wine, and said, "I just want to make a friend, my name is Zhai Qian, and I am a businessman." ”
"Merchant?" Sha Lang deliberately shrugged his nose and snorted and laughed: "I seem to smell blood, what are you selling?" Selling human flesh? ”
His face changed slightly, but Zhai Qian was not angry, he still had that hearty and generous smile, and said: "When you go out, there are many friends and many roads, if someone wants to make friends, it is best to smile." Especially in this small town of Huoguo, the law sometimes doesn't work, and the people who can protect themselves are not the police. ”
Sha Lang shrugged his nose deliberately, and said in surprise: "I seem to smell a threat." ”
"Boy, you seem to be very arrogant." The majestic man spoke, and his rough face appeared a little hideous.
"Yuhyuk? Did you find out about this? Grandpa, I've been arrogant since I was a child. Sha Lang put down the knife and stared at the strong man with a low smile, with a hideous expression in his expression. He has a solitary personality and is very unhappy with the guy who suddenly appears and speaks in the tone of an elder.
Di Cheng didn't stop Sha Lang, and raised his eyes to look at Zhai Qian from time to time, with a somewhat smiling expression on his face. Ye Wantong didn't say anything, she seemed to be bored eating and drinking, but she listened to their conversation with great interest, feeling bored, and came to find trouble.
"Hehe, a few friends don't seem to be friendly." The smile on Zhai Gan's face retracted, pointed to the snow lion lying on the table, and said, "I'll just say it, I want to buy your Tibetan mastiff." ”
"Buy?" Di Cheng smiled, touched the snow lion's head, and said, "Do you want to buy it?" ”
"The Tibetan mastiff is brave and fierce, and it is the overlord of the grassland, so those who are qualified to have it must not do nothing."
Di Cheng smiled and asked, "What do you mean...... I'm not eligible? ”
Zhou Shaohua and the others' expressions became strange, Di Cheng is not qualified? They didn't know where this Zhai Qian came from, and they could feel how much his strength was good, but they dared to despise Di Cheng...... Hey, it's rare.
Zhai Qian leaned forward slightly and stared at Di Cheng: "If my expectations are correct, you people should be a group, similar to the killer group of the hunting organization." ”
Di Cheng and the others showed a very tacit expression of vigilance and solemnity at this moment, and even deliberately held the steel knife, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.
The smile on Zhai Qian's face deepened, and he slowly leaned back in his seat. "Tell me the name of your group, don't worry, if I wanted to make a move, you would never be alive now, and if I wanted to make a move, I would never come here to talk to you."
Di Cheng pretended to hesitate vigilantly for a moment, and said, "Leng Feng." ”
"Cold front?" The corners of Zhai Qian's mouth hooked, it was really a small organization that did not enter the stream, and he had never even heard of this name. The bewitching woman and the sturdy man in the back showed a little disdain, and their heads couldn't help but raise a little higher.
Zhai Qian took out a check from his arms and pushed it in front of Di Cheng: "This is a check for one million, accept it and hand over your Tibetan mastiff to me." That's a lot less than a purebred Tibetan mastiff, but I can accommodate a few additional requests. ”
"For example?"
"I can give you a little guidance, for example."
"Guidance?" Di Cheng couldn't help laughing: "What qualifications do you have to say that you can know us?" ”
Zhai Qian also chuckled a few times, and lowered his voice and slowed down: "Because we are a ghost mercenary group, we ...... Eligible! ”
