He was horribly badly wounded in the chest! It was as if I had fallen from some height, and my ribs were broken at least three times! In addition, there is a noticeable penetrating injury under the left shoulder! Apparently it was a bullet!

He also had many small injuries on his body, and the strangest thing was that I suddenly saw a tear in his pants, and I was shocked when I lifted it up to look at it! This guy's calf is already swollen, and there is a subtle bite wound mark clearly visible on the muscle!

It was obvious that something like a snake had bitten out, and I suspect that the snake was venomous, because the wound was black all around. However, it seemed as if he had covered the wound with some herb himself, and there was still a strange paste left on the wound, with the fibers of plants.

Hell yes!

The guy broke several ribs, was shot, had seven or eight minor wounds, and was bitten by a poisonous snake on his leg...... Even if you are in good health, in such a situation, you will fall down a long time ago!

And in this state, such a body is already in a state of close collapse...... This guy almost killed me three times in a matter of moments!

Why is he so good?! How good can this guy be when he's healthy?

I hesitated and made a decision.

I didn't call anyone in, I decided not to hand him over to the Trapped Tower's men. I moved him to the back of the suitcase, then took out a bottle of water and unscrewed it and poured it over his mouth.

He woke up once, looked at me, and at first there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, but then he was relieved to see me holding the ground with water.

"Can you still move?"

He nodded.

I took a deep breath and said quickly, "Listen, I can help you." The plane would land an hour later, with several soldiers trapped in the tower. When I land, I'll try to distract them, and then you'll have to figure out how to get out of the plane! Got it? I can help you distract these soldiers...... Can you move? ”

"I'll be able to move after a while." He replied coldly.

***********

I straightened my clothes, made sure I didn't show any flaws, and walked out of the hold.

After returning to my seat, I said in Chinese: "Hammer." ”

"Fifth brother?" The hammer immediately turned around.

"Listen, don't show your face!" I spoke to him in Chinese: "When you land in a while, you find a few brothers, pester these black soldiers together, and find a way to drag them, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Hammer was surprised, but nodded anyway. He is very good at this, as long as I explain the things, he will be meticulous in carrying them out, and there are many things I don't say, and he definitely doesn't ask.

I was lying asleep in my chair, a little nervous, but thankfully the soldiers didn't make it to the back of the hold. Finally, when the plane landed, it was at the airport of another small country in East Africa where we had made a connecting flight before we came.

When this dilapidated young fox transport plane landed, it always made people scared, for fear that it would hit the ground. After landing, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as I got off the plane, I gave the hammer a look.

The flight crew in the plane did not move, and a few soldiers sent by the trapped tower got off the plane and prepared to open another cargo compartment behind the cabin from the tail of the plane to help us unload our luggage.

At this time, the hammer that had been prepared for a long time immediately attached it with a few of his subordinates, and these people had already planned with the hammer on the plane. They put it on it, some of them enthusiastically grabbed the soldiers, and the others immediately took out their cigarettes.

Although they didn't understand the language, after a few packs of cigarettes, the soldiers all smiled, and soon forgot about the cargo hold for a while. By this time the door to the cargo hold had been opened......

***********

The airfield in this small East African country is also very shabby, but it is much more imposing than the airfield next to the mine of General Sleepy Tower.

Someone came in a luggage cart and took us off the runway, and when we got to the outside of the airport (because we were on the presidential plane of General Sleepy Tower, the head of state of country G...... Of course, there is no need to check. ）

When we got out of the airport, the soldiers stopped following us. When the luggage cart was unloading, I refused to let the airport people do it, and instead let my subordinates do it themselves.

The man who accompanied me to the mine in the trapped tower, Ren Lei, who was disguised as my bodyguard, had already contacted the vehicle to pick us up outside the airport.

When the luggage was finished, the black man who was hiding under the luggage jumped out of it, and everyone around him was surprised, only the hammer that had covered him just now had seen him, but he didn't say anything.

"Let's get in the car first." I stopped the people around me from talking, and then I had the black killer get into the car. He was seriously injured and did not refuse.

When I got in the car, I was truly relieved. I'm playing with fire...... If we let the Trapped Tower know that I have contained the killer who assassinated him, then I am afraid that it will affect our relationship.

Arrived at the arranged accommodation, here...... Barely a hotel, in these small countries in East Africa, the conditions can only be improvised, we checked in, found that it was still very safe, the man who accompanied me all the way dressed as my bodyguard also left with their convoy, before leaving he told me that someone would come to contact us early tomorrow morning.

We occupied the first floor of the little inn, and I immediately vacated the innermost room, and had the black man examined.

He'd fainted again. We didn't have a doctor, but then I sent Hammer to take people out into the street to buy some medicine and come back.

After all, this small country is not a country ruled by the Trapped Tower, it is quite stable, and this is also a city, so Hammer finally bought some medicine back.

The black man finally woke up when I examined him myself. I feel like this guy is like a beast...... A wounded beast. Although he is very weak at the moment, the sharpness between his eyes and anticipation is instinctive!

"Thank you." He looked at me, then saw the medicine next to him: "I'll do it myself." ”

"Can you?" I frowned.

"I've learned." Negroes don't seem to like to talk too much. But then I saw him treat his wounds and was relieved. He seemed to be very skilled at cleaning the wound and then bandaging it. Then I endured the pain and straightened my ribs. Finally, he looked at the wound on his calf and thought, "Do you have a knife?" ”

"Yes." I took out my dagger and handed it to him.

Without saying a word, he detoxified the dagger, then looked at me and suddenly said, "Can you turn around?" ”

"Why?"

"Because I think you probably don't like watching this." He suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and then he turned the hilt upside down with such a stiff smile on his face......

The cold light flashed, and then the blood flowed, and he actually ripped off all the black flesh of the wound with his own hands without changing his face!!

Looking at the bloody wound, he quickly applied the medicine. Then take out a bandage to stop the bleeding and bandage it. The movements were fast, and although the muscles in his eyes trembled in pain, he remained unchanging.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Is this okay?" You were bitten by a poisonous snake, right? ”

"Well, I've already medicated myself...... Fortunately, the snake is not the most venomous, and the poison is not strong...... Otherwise I would have died a long time ago. He said calmly: "The poison has been removed by my medicine, but if these carrion are kept, they will kill me, so they can only be cut off." ”

I noticed that this guy took off his clothes while cleaning the wounds, and he was covered in dense and horrible scars all over his body!

I'm also injured, but compared to him...... I'm almost fine-skinned and tender!

Seeing that his aching forehead was sweating but forcibly endured, I sighed: "Sorry, there are no anesthetics here. ”

"Do you have cigarettes?" He suddenly smiled: "If you have cigarettes, you can be more comfortable." ”

I immediately pulled out my cigarette and handed it to him.

"Thank you......" he looked at me, "thank you for saving my life." ”

After a pause, he seemed to think about it and said with difficulty: "There are still ...... I'm sorry I almost killed you. ”

After looking at him carefully for so long, I finally saw it. This black man is actually very young, and I suspect he may not even be in his twenties. Although he looked so cold and sophisticated, his face, after washing off the oil paint, looked very delicate, even with a hint of youthful immaturity...... This physiological youth, mixed with the mature and sophisticated temperament on his face, makes people a little strange.

I've always been confident in my skills, but such a badly injured guy who looked even younger than me could almost kill me three times in a matter of moments...... Such a guy really has to make me admire him.

"Why did you kill the Trapped Tower?"

He looked at me with a calm look in his eyes, but shook his head, did not speak, and then asked me in a low voice, "That companion of mine, dead?" ”

"Dead." I noticed that the young man's resolute gaze only loosened slightly when I said this, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"How did you die? Shot? Or was trapped in the tower and fed to the lions? The young man suddenly asked in a strange tone.

"......" I hesitated and looked at him, but in his eyes he was resolute, as if he had to say it: "I...... Well, you know 'Kulikaka', right? ”

"I know." The young man nodded, his face as usual: "Is that so?" Thank you for telling me. ”

I was a little surprised, because the people I saw, including the tower himself, and his wolf-like men, all had a little trepidation and jealousy on their faces when they heard the word kulikaka. But this young man was unmoved.

I saw that although his eyes were still bright, he was gradually getting tired, so he said, "Okay, you can rest for a while, if you need anything, you can talk to my people." ”

***********

It struck me strangely that the young man then did find my man, and made some strange demands, for I had told him to meet whatever he needed, as long as it was not too excessive. As a result, my men brought him something that seemed strange to us.

Feathers, oils, charcoal......

Just when I had rested for the night, and when I went to see the young man again the next morning, I saw that he had already gotten out of bed.

The room had already been decorated by himself, and the walls were covered with many strange patterns that he had drawn with charcoal. I could see that it was some kind of totem or something, and then this young man, he took off his shirt and wore only a pair of trousers, and he had a lot of oil paint on his body, and he also made up some patterns, and his face was also stained with feathers.

When I entered, he was kneeling on the ground, facing the totem on the wall, his hands open and his eyes closed, and he was chanting something out loud...... He speaks the Turkish language. I don't understand, but I can see the pious expression on his face, it seems to be a prayer ritual or something.

I stood in the doorway, and when I saw such a scene, I didn't know whether I should go in, but then I saw the black man take out a dagger, quickly cut off a tuft of his hair, and then trimmed off a little of his fingernails with the dagger, and finally respectfully placed it in a basin in front of him, and took out a lighter and burned it to ashes.

He was prostrate on the ground, whispering the native language, and the bytes were so sonorous and powerful that I could not understand a word, but I also felt the taste of piety.

Finally, he finally put an end to all this, then stood up, glanced at me at the door, didn't say anything, first calmly took a towel and wiped the oil paint and feathers off his face, then cleaned up everything, and even wiped all the totems off the wall, and then sat down again.

The wounds on his body were a little cracked, and he was bleeding a lot. But this guy was calm, as if he didn't feel the slightest pain.

"My name is Tu." He looked at me, and finally a trace of sadness finally appeared in his face: "I, and you have seen my companion who was killed by the trapped tower. We are all combat members of the e.a.o. Seeing my blank face, he slowly explained: "The whole process of e.a.o is the 'Europe-Africa Mercenary Alliance', which is an alliance company with dozens of mercenary organizations under its umbrella. He is responsible for representing various mercenary activities in Southern Europe, North Africa and East Africa. My companions and I do not belong to any mercenary organization, we are combat members directly subordinate to the headquarters of the Alliance Corporation...... Our duty is to defend the majesty of the Alliance, and if any of the mercenary organizations under the company violate the rules of the Alliance, or mutiny, etc., then it is up to us to come forward and punish the traitors. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Oh? Then why did you kill the Trapped Tower? ”

"No, I didn't plan to kill the Trapped Tower." Tu shook his head: "As I said just now, I am a combat member of the headquarters of the alliance company, I am not a mercenary, the alliance company will not send us out to do mercenary work, our task is to suppress those mercenary organizations that rebel against the alliance...... We are the last trump card to defend the alliance. As for the assassination of the Trapped Tower......"

He hesitated, but told me directly: "Actually, things are not what you think. The assassination in the mines of the trapped tower was carried out by my companion...... In fact, he's just like me, a member of the Alliance Corporation, but he's from the Decacala clan, and his clan is being slaughtered by the Trapped Tower. The assassination of the trapped tower was a kind of revenge on his own initiative. He violated the company's rules and assassinated the Trapped Tower twice for personal vendettas, one of which he nearly succeeded in killing one of the military generals of the Trapped Tower. And what you see is the second assassination. He acted privately in disregard of the company's regulations, and has seriously violated the company's regulations, so ...... I'm not here to kill the trapped tower...... My mission is to stop my companions' violations. The company gave me the power to kill him if I had to! "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]

I was really completely surprised: "You're not here to kill the trapped tower?" ”

"It's not." He shook his head.

"......" I looked at the guy: "That...... So, that day, it was your companion who stabbed the trapped tower with a sniper rifle. And you're here to stop him, aren't you? ”

Tu laughed...... He smiled calmly: "Here's how it happened...... Dead this guy. His name is Delon, he is a member of the same combat group as me, and he is better than me. However, his unauthorized escape and unauthorized assassination of the head of state of country G have been regarded as a traitor by the company. The company successively sent two combat members to stop him, but Delon's skills were so good that the people who were sent out in front were all killed by Delong. And I am the third person sent by the company.

It took me a long time to find his whereabouts, and in the jungle just outside the Trapped Tower Mine, he and I fought each other for three days...... All these wounds that you have seen on my body are left to me by him...... It's not the soldiers who are trapped in the tower, those soldiers can't hurt me at all. He was indeed stronger than me, but he was wounded, and the two warriors I had sent to deal with him before me. It also caused him to suffer some damage that affected his combat effectiveness, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have been killed by him.

His assassination failed. It led to a massive search of the mountains by the soldiers trapped in the tower, and I happened to be in the jungle, I was already badly wounded, and he was in a similar situation to me. I escaped, but he was captured. Before I was caught, the two of us fought again, and he had a chance to kill me, but in the end he gave up. Because of the situation, he knew that he had no chance, so he let me go and let me escape. ”

Tu said slowly: "Delong is a very good fighter, and all his abilities are top-notch. If it weren't for the fact that he had been chased and killed by the company before, which seriously affected his combat effectiveness, he would not have died at the hands of those soldiers trapped in the tower! Hum! There was no way that the waste would have killed him. But he is too stubborn, he is too extreme, he must kill the trapped tower, this is his biggest mistake! He even violated our local habits by assassinating himself with serious injuries. This is very dangerous. In the end, he had to give up his life. ”

I could faintly hear that this Tu seemed to have a faint respect for the guy named Delong.

"Since you're not here to kill the Trapped Tower...... Instead, he came to deal with that Delong's ...... So on the plane, why didn't you kill me? "I think it's weird.

Because on the plane, he had obviously held me up with a gun, and after I said, "I can help you kill the trapped tower", he let me go. I thought he was here to assassinate the Trapped Tower.

"Delon is dead...... He was not able to fulfill his wish. Tu looked at me: "And I, I can't violate the company's rules, I can't fulfill his wish on his behalf." I can't do anything to the Trapped Tower. ”

I understood, "You're hoping that someone can help him fulfill his last wish, right?" ”

Tu didn't speak, just looked at me.

Damn, it looks like my life was really chosen.

"On the plane, you saved my life." Tu's voice was not loud, but it was very resolute: "And you brought me back, and you also saved me." He looked at me: "I can repay you." ”

"I don't need to reciprocate." I said lightly, "What can you give me?" Money? Or something else? ”

"I'm a good fighter." Tu looked at me.

I laughed: "I don't need fighters. I live in a civilized country, not in Africa. I have a lot of men. And...... Do you say you belong to that EAO organization, and they allow you to do it yourself? I don't want to get in trouble! ”

Tu looked at me for a while, and suddenly said, "Eao thought I was dead. Procedurally, Delon has already killed me. ”

“？” I looked at him.

He explained: "The members of our operations will have a signal device, and when the mission is successful, someone from EAO will send someone to organize our evacuation. This annunciator lets the people in the rear of the company know if our action is a success or a failure. I destroyed his equipment when I fought DeLong in the jungle, and he subdued me when he fought me in close quarters......"

***********

……

…………

The jungle was filled with the smell of rancid after the rainy season, Tu was wheezing among a pile of blades of grass, his chest aching sharply, and the broken ribs had almost put him into shock briefly.

He had lost ninety percent of his mobility, and although he was lying on the ground, he still maintained a defensive posture, facing the eyes that were close at hand!

Delon was still able to stand up, and he was on one knee, but in his hand he held a signalman that he had snatched from Tu's body.

"I lost, you can solve me." Tu felt that he was about to faint, and he said calmly to Delong.

Delon's face was bloodied, one of his arms was almost completely immobile, and there was a complicated look in his eyes beneath the mess.

Suddenly, he took the annunciator and sent a message back quickly.

The reply from the annunciator of "Confirm identity, coordinates ......" was like this.

Delong smiled, then took the signal, and in front of Tu, he said slowly: "I am Delong, and your people were killed by me...... This is the third one! ”

There was no reply. The display light on the annunciator went out immediately, which was a unilateral move by the other party to stop the signal.

Tu closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, staring at Delong: "Why?" ”

"It's very simple, Tu, now you're zìyóu." DeLong looked at Tu and gasped like a wounded beast: "We are not fighting machines, we are people...... I've teleported to the headquarters of the Society, and through my sonic analysis, they'll make a decision that you're dead. And then...... They're going to send a fourth man to kill me...... And you, on the company's report, are already a dead man. ”

After saying a few words, Delon was exhausted, he slowly sat down, and listened to the movement around him: "Fifteen minutes at most, they will search here, the soldiers of the trapped tower are very good at jungle warfare, we will all die here." ”

Tu had already closed his eyes, and he was a little dazed in his heart......

Dead person? Is it already a dead person on the record?

In other words, I no longer belong to EAO. Tu, who was cultivated as a fighting machine, suddenly had a sense of confusion that he had lost his subordination.

That's when it happened. Suddenly, he had a tingling pain in his leg!

When he opened his eyes, Tu saw that Delong was holding a thin needle about the length of a finger in his hand and inserting it into his thigh.

"Tu." Delong had a smile on his face: "This is the last 'angel', your injuries are lighter than mine." This 'angel' can give you some mobility back...... Get out of here. ”

As he spoke, DeLong had lowered his arm, and he coughed a few times, and he coughed up some blood because of the injury to the lobes of his lungs - and the injuries to the lobes were stabbed by Tu in the fight with Tu.

Stimulated by the injection of the "Angel", Tu felt that he quickly regained a trace of strength, and he slowly stood up: "Why? ”

Tu stared at Delong carefully.

DeLong lay down on his back, gasping for breath, and then he laughed, "Because ...... Have you forgotten? You and I are the same, we are all ...... Person! ”

Finally, he pointed to his head: "Maybe you've forgotten about that...... But remember, we are people, not machines. Remember, zìyóu! Have you ever tasted zìyóu? I'm dying, but I'm lucky that during the time I've been away from the company, at least I'm zìyóu! ”

……

…………

***********

"And then?" I listened to Tu describe the situation in a calm tone, and I asked, "And then you left?" ”

"Yes." Tu said lightly: "I asked Delong when I was leaving, I see that he is in pain, I can help him finish." ”

I understand what "end" means.

Tu continued: "DeLong refused, saying that he still had a little strength and could kill two more soldiers trapped in the tower. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes again: "Without the signalman, I can't contact EAO, and without the help of the evacuees, I can only get out of there on my own." I found the airport and got on the plane...... You know the rest of the story. ”

I didn't speak, I looked at this guy.

Tu said slowly in an indescribably complex tone: "I have received the most rigorous training...... I've been training since I was six years old, and I've killed a lot of people. My whole mission in life is to serve EAO. But now, I'm a dead man. I can have two options. First, I can reconnect with the company, and then I will be taken back immediately, and after the company's nuclear investigation, my loyalty will be confirmed, and if the company accepts me, I will continue my career as a warrior and continue to kill for the company. If the company thinks I'm suspicious, or suspects that I've been 'tainted' by DeLong, then I could be terminated by the company. ”

"That'...... And second? "My heart moved.

"Second, I left the company. Normally, the company wouldn't find out, as long as I stayed away from Africa. His voice became strange, with a hint of strangeness: "Just like Delon said...... I, zìyóu. ”

When he said the word "zìyóu", his voice trembled a little unusually.

"You saved me, and I should repay you." Tu said slowly: "I can help you kill people...... That's all I'm going to do. ”

"Murder ......" I silently.

Tu's eyes suddenly became very cold: "Yes, kill." I know all kinds of combat and killing techniques, and in return I can kill for you, anytime, anywhere...... But there is one condition, I do not kill official people, and anyone with political sè color. Because such a person is very sensitive, it is easy to attract the company's attention. I don't want to be a machine, or be hunted to death like Delon. ”

"I don't need fighters." I smiled wryly: "If I need a soldier, I can always spend a lot of money to hire a team of retired special forces from the United States, such as 'Seals', this kind of retired soldier I don't have money to hire." ”

Tu said lightly: "Seals? He thought for a moment, and his tone was disdainful: "In the top mercenary organization under the EAO, the combat quality of any member is far stronger than that of the American seals. One of the missions I once accepted, I and a companion were on a mission to execute a mercenary group that had betrayed the company and defected to another company, they were originally A-class mercenaries in the company, and the two of us dealt with eleven of them, killing them all in two days, and we were not harmed. ”

"You...... What else will be? I smiled wryly.

"I speak English, French, and especially French, and I can speak four accents. In addition, I can do all the firearms, I can fly a helicopter, jīng through explosives, hand-to-hand combat, jungle combat, torture, counter-torture, and ......" Tu said in one breath......

"Stop! Stop! "I'm already sweating a little, but I secretly said in my heart, damn, this whole humanoid weapon!

I thought for a moment: "Can you drive?" ”

“…… Yes. ”

"Good!" I laughed and said, "If you're willing to follow me...... Then from today onwards, you are my driver.
