PS: The end of the month is almost here! Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!

A day later, also at night, Quinn led Tang Shuxing and the others to climb a flat-topped mountain, and everyone saw that on the other side of the mountain, there was a kilometer or two away in the province of Kanga. At this time, Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng realized that the so-called "province" here was different from the mainland, just the name of a large city surrounded by many small towns.

Khanga province is one of the three largest cities in Astaya, and the country is so small that it only takes you two days to drive a car from one end to the other.

But this small country, sandwiched between two other poor countries, is extremely rich in forestry and mineral resources. But the vast mahogany forest here has long been cut down, and furniture dealers from all over the world, especially Asia, have come here, paid mercenaries to protect themselves, constantly brought the mahogany back to their own country, exchanged it for huge bills, and then sat in their luxurious villas, staring at the globe in front of them, thinking about what to destroy with axes and chainsaws next.

As for the gold and diamond mines, they were overrun by government forces, the Liberation Front, and the Golden Tide, respectively, using the rare metals and gems dug up in the mines to buy the munitions that would condemn the country to hell forever.

Quinn, who was standing in front, pointed at the brightly lit area in the center of Kanga Province with his rifle on his back: "It is a 'sojourn area', which is the residence of high-ranking government officials, wealthy foreign businessmen and military advisers, and is heavily guarded. He pointed to the dimly lit circle on the outskirts of the quarters, "It's called Paradise Street." Compared to the 'sojourn area', it is a little worse, and it is inhabited by the local rich people in Kanga Province, the lower-ranking officers and soldiers of the government army, and the most of them are mercenaries. ”

Tang Shuxing held up the night vision binoculars and looked: "There are still many places without lights on the periphery of the two areas, what is that area?" ”

"Residential area." Quinn smiled, "Because of the war, the Golden Frenzy used to occupy Kanga Province earlier, and if it weren't for the assistance of the Americans, the government army would have collapsed long ago, and then the government army fought back. But in order to attract investment. The province of Kanga had to maintain its original appearance, but at that time most of the people in the city had fled the fighting, and General Hammod came up with a 'foolproof plan', and he drove all the inhabitants of the towns behind Kanga Province to the big city. While forcing them to rebuild the city. Blow up the surrounding towns. At the same time, it is promised that everyone who moves can get 10,000 yuan per month from the government army! ”

"Ten thousand yuan?" Tang Shuxing said with a smile, "If you are so generous, this money is definitely not worth much." ”

"Yes." Quinn pulled out a stack of Astaya's colorful bills from his pocket. He took one and lit a cigarette, and then threw it into the sky, "Now these currencies are like waste paper, and all the currencies in circulation are foreign currencies, such as US dollars, pounds, euros, and even Chinese currencies, and the most valuable ones are gold and diamonds." ”

As he spoke, Quinn walked down the hill with a litter of scrap paper bills, telling the others to take their papers, for they would soon encounter government soldiers patrolling around. On the way down the mountain, they heard gunshots from the outermost residential area, and they could see sparks of gunfire everywhere, but they quickly died down.

Quinn explained that it was a government force to capture the rebels, and sometimes when they spotted Russian unmanned reconnaissance planes, they would drive anti-aircraft armored vehicles around.

Just as they were about to reach the residential area, they were stopped by a group of government patrol soldiers, and then surrounded by a group, Quinn smiled and handed over a hundred dollars of papers, and immediately bribed the leader of the group.

The leader of the soldiers approached the dollar bill, sniffed the smell of it, smiled with satisfaction, and "kindly" took them into the city, claiming that for an extra twenty dollars, he would be a free tour guide to show them around the province of Kanka.

Of course, Quinn politely declined the offer, but he still gave the leader twenty dollars as a tip - a trick that works in most countries around the world, because where there are people, there are also zài bribes.

However, Tang Shuxing found that these people did love the dollar, and almost everyone would make a gesture of reaching out to play and sniffing deeply when holding the banknote.

Saying goodbye to the patrol soldiers and entering the residential area, the four of them could only walk in disguise, during which they continued to encounter blackmail from the patrol, and the amount of extortion each time was not large, at most ten dollars. But even if these people are greedy for petty profits, Tang Shuxing and the others can still see from the miscellaneous walking and gun-holding postures of this group of government soldiers that they are not a rabble and have received very strict militarized training.

Finally at the gate of the residential area and Paradise Street, the four of them were stopped again, this time even if they paid bribes, it did not have any effect, the other party took the money and the people checked, because the soldiers of the platoon guarding this place were all the personal guards of General Hammeade.

The soldiers of the pro-guard team were covered in American-made equipment, and even the leader's mouth spoke a non-standard American language. The standard equipment is the M4 rifle of the short protrusion model, the M9 pistol, the MP7, the P90 submachine gun, the walkie-talkie, and the satellite phone. There are also M249 and M240 machine guns in the sentry fortifications on the second floor on both sides, and there may be snipers who take turns to be on duty at a certain commanding height.

Cross-examination, review, verification...... Half an hour later, the guards finally opened the gates to let them in, and the platoon commander wearing a ski mask kept telling Quinn: "Set up a equinox on Paradise Street, or someone will invite you to eat guns at any time!" ”

Quinn smiled and nodded, waved goodbye, and led the other three inside, and then turned back to them and said, "Now we need to find a place to stay, and then contact each other, I need to go and inquire about the news." ”

Tang Shuxing looked at the relatively lively street in front of him, there were pedestrians everywhere, most of them were carrying guns, judging from their appearance, there were people from all continents, and most of them should be mercenaries. These people looked at them and were not curious, just like looking at an ordinary passerby, glancing at them and doing their own thing.

"I'll have to get a radio, contact Hammod's men, ask about the hostages, but don't let them know we're in Khanga province, or they'll be on guard." Quinn walked forward. I kept looking at the signboard with colorful lights on the house next to me, looking for a place to stay.

"Do you really want an armed rescue?" Ji Kefeng asked in a low voice.

Quinn glanced back at him, "You have three million?" ”

Ji Kefeng shook his head slightly, and Gu Huaiyi took over the words in the rear: "Even if there are three million, given at one time, even if they don't tear up the ticket, they will find other reasons to continue to blackmail until they squeeze us dry, and then they will directly find a place to kill the hostages, and we have nothing to do." ”

"Quinn, I'm curious. How much can you earn on this trip? Tang Shuxing asked Quinn with a grin.

Quinn stopped. Staring at a five-story building on the right, he looked up at the signboard with several lights unlit: "Guess what." ”

"All the arms deals in Asyata?" Tang Shuxing replied, waiting for Quinn's reaction.

Quinn shook his head slightly, and said expressionlessly, "No." Astaya will soon be gone. There will be no more markets in such places. Quinn walked into the building.

Tang Shuxing and others stood outside the building. couldn't understand Quinn's words, if it weren't for Gu Huaiyi hitting Tang Shuxing's arm, I'm afraid he would still be in a daze and guessing. Gu Huaiyi entered the house first. Ji Kefeng Then, when Tang Shuxing was about to go in again, he suddenly had a feeling of being stared at by someone, he immediately turned around and looked back, and saw a black shadow flickering under the opposite wall, and then that feeling disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Ji Kefeng came out again and asked.

"It's nothing, it feels weird." Tang Shuxing touched the back of his neck, "I can't say it, it looks like someone is poking his neck with his fingers." ”

"Thoughtful, huh?" Ji Kefeng motioned for him to go in, Quinn was waiting, and everyone didn't have much time.

After entering the house, Tang Shuxing found that it was a patio building, and the bottom of the patio, that is, the first floor, was a bar. There were dozens of humble tables, surrounded by men and women laughing, most chatting and drinking, and a few sitting in dark corners whispering something, all wary of their arrival.

These people also carry a variety of weapons - AK47, M16, G36, ARX160, FN_FAL, etc., and everyone carries a gun.

Quinn, who was sitting next to the bar, waved at Tang Shuxing, motioned for him to sit next to him, and then turned his back to the bar and whispered, "Most of the people here are mercenaries, and a few are arms dealers. The mercenaries are all alone, and the guys affiliated with the company do not operate here, because the owner of the bar is a mercenary middleman, and basically there are orders from within the government army, most of which are mainly assassinations and auxiliary government operations, and the commissions are paid in gold and diamonds. ”

As he spoke, Quinn tapped the bar with his finger, motioned for the bar to bring beer, waited for the bartender to leave, and said: "It is easy to bring gold and diamonds out of Astaya, but it is difficult to enter countries such as Europe, Asia and the Americas, so they are all traded on the black market, which is very troublesome, once you go to the black market, the value will be reduced by at least one-third, and black gold and black diamonds are not as valuable as before." ”

Waiting for the bartender to take the wine, Quinn opened it and pointed behind his back with his thumb: "The people in suits are all arms dealers, all of them are small private companies, and they sell scrap weapons found in other African countries to mercenaries by the ton, and the mercenaries then resell them to the rebels from underground channels, those weapons, they will explode after a few shots, but there are still people who buy them, and the government army knows it, but as long as there is money to pay bribes, it is not a problem, after all, broken guns will reduce the combat effectiveness of the rebels." ”

Quinn drank his wine and said, "My Sharman Power is the largest arms supplier here, and it has permission from the U.S. government, and we have a document from the U.S. Congress. ”

Gu Huaiyi answered on the side: "Your company is also one of the arms suppliers of the US military. ”

"Yes." Quinn laughed, "We built the first unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. With that, Quinn finished his beer in two or three sips, knocked on the table and said, "I'll go get the equipment, you guys rest first." ”

Quinn left, Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi drank their own wine, Tang Shuxing was unbearably thirsty, but he could only drink unclean tap water, but where there was tap water in the bar, it was in the bathroom, and the toilet had to go to the back alley - this made him feel like he was back in the poor streets and alleys of Zhenyang City.

Tang Shuxing, who was squatting in the dilapidated bathroom and drinking water from the faucet, suddenly smelled the tempting fragrance again, and immediately looked up to turn off the faucet, looking around for the source of the smell - he knew very well that the fragrance he smelled was the stench of rotting corpses, could it be that there were dead people around here?

Tang Shuxing, who was looking around, finally found that the smell came from the window outside the toilet, so he simply turned out the window and followed the smell, and finally walked into the alley behind, came to a small courtyard, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a piece of highly rotten meat hanging from the tree in the center of the courtyard, and it was 100% human flesh - Tang Shuxing's nose could already distinguish it.

Tang Shuxing realized that someone had brought him in, and immediately stood against the wall, his hand on the hilt of the dragon blade, and just when his fingers were just leaning on the top of the hilt, a figure suddenly came out of the right corner, raised his fists and struck him in the chest.

Tang Shuxing blocked with both arms, but found that it was just a false move, the man suddenly closed his fist and punched again, both fists hit him in the abdomen, Tang Shuxing also kicked out, both of them were hit, and at the same time took several steps back.

The attacker disappeared into the darkness again, and soon came back from the front, again with his fists, and the fists broke the wind more violently than before—this time with all his might!

Tang Shuxing didn't draw his sword and draw his sword, he knew that if someone died in Heaven Street, this mission would be lost, so he had to keep dodging, trying to find out the opponent's weakness and directly restrain him, asking where the other party came from, why he knew to use carrion to attract himself, but the other party didn't seem to give him this opportunity at all, constantly waving his fists, attacking him in the upper, middle and lower ways.

Tang Shuxing, who had been punched seventeen or eighteen, didn't feel the slightest pain, and the more fierce the opponent hit, the clearer his eyes became, and finally he raised his hands and directly grabbed the opponent's two lightning-like fists, and shouted at the same time: "Who are you?" ”

The other party sneered, let Tang Shuxing grab his fists, dragged him to the middle of the courtyard, and rushed to the wall behind him with his body.

Tang Shuxing kicked his feet on the ground, drew two deep marks on the ground, rushed halfway, and when he was about to reach the wall, the other party suddenly retracted his fist, and even with Tang Shuxing's body, he flew up and kicked him in the chest, and then didn't chase and hit, and just said coldly after landing on the ground: "The rumors are really true." ”

Tang Shuxing raised his head suddenly, he heard it clearly, this voice was a ghost tiger that he had never seen since the Gu hunting ground separated.

It's hard to meet an acquaintance in a foreign country, and it's even harder to meet an enemy, and that's in this case.

"What rumors are true?" Tang Shuxing asked knowingly, he knew that what the ghost tiger said was his mutation.

"You're already a monster, a mutant, a species more terrifying than a corpse, so when I found you at the bar door earlier, I thought of using a piece of rotten meat to see if the rumors were true." The ghost tiger stood there and said coldly, "The corpse doesn't need to eat that kind of meat, you need it!" ”

"Oh-" Tang Shuxing knew that the ghost tiger must have something to say, but he immediately turned around and said goodbye, "It's nice to meet you, I still have to leave beforehand, bye." ”

"Goodbye!" The ghost tiger didn't keep it, but just faced the other direction, and said to himself, "The person in charge asked me to tell a mutant named Tang Shuxing a word, and the person in charge said that let him do it himself, because the way to change himself and restore his original human identity is in the hands of Yaojin, and the people of the Bafang don't have that ability!"
