Chapter 2026: Saito's doubts

Jiro Takahashi bent down and lifted the backpack at his feet and staggered towards the other party. The other party stood motionless and looked at him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't stare at his eyes until he walked to the front and asked coldly, "You just came down from the special forces?" ”

Takahashi's pale face flushed, knowing that his opponent was doubting his past experience. How can a person who has been trained in special forces get close to him without noticing, and still appear so weak, this really does not correspond to a person who has had special forces experience. And this Saito, apparently from their regiment commander Kuroda, knew that he had just retired from the special forces.

He smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Yes, just left the special operations unit for a few months. I was injured a few days ago by a master of internal strength, and now I am just getting better. And it has only been more than twenty hours of rapid marching from last night to the present night, and it has only come from the mountains on the other side of the lake, so that the body is extremely weak."

Saito's cold gaze became softer when he heard his explanation, and he nodded, turned around and took out two energy bars from his backpack, and raised his hand to hand them to Xiao Takahashi.

Jiro Takahashi hurriedly took the energy bar, knowing that this was the best food to replenish the energy needed by the body at this time, which contained high calories and various trace elements necessary for the body, which could help him recover his strength as soon as possible.

He reached out and took the energy bar, said "thank you" gratefully, and then immediately tore off the wrapping paper and stuffed the energy bar into his mouth, then raised his right leg and kicked the grass with his toes a few times, kicked a pit in the grass, bent down and put the wrapping paper of the energy bar in his hand into the pit, and pushed the floating soil next to him with his foot to bury the wrapping paper.

Saito watched his movements quietly, until he saw him bury the wrapping paper in the ground and grab a handful of grass to cover it to disguise, and then his face showed a look of relief, as if at this time he believed that he had retired from the special forces.

He waved at Jiro Takahashi, then pointed to the woodland for him to sit down, and sat under a thick bamboo with his assault rifle in his arms. Seeing his gesture, Jiro Takahashi quickly put down the backpack he was carrying on his shoulders and sat down, then took a closer look at Saito's equipment.

At this time, he was really shocked in his heart, these people around him were actually equipped with a full set of expensive special operations equipment, they were all wearing bulletproof vests with infrared concealment function, the vests were densely inserted with ammunition, self-defense pistols and sabers were strapped to the side of their thighs, and the bulletproof helmets on their heads were fixed with low-light night vision devices, and they were all carrying individual communication equipment.

He then looked into the other party's hand and saw that the other party was holding a HK416 automatic rifle with a laser optical sight fixed to the body. A twinkle flashed in his eyes, and he knew that it was a highly reliable individual weapon, said to be far superior to the famous M16 assault rifle, and it seemed that these mercenaries were extremely adept at the weapons they used.

Jiro Takahashi quickly swept over the other party's body, and he was indeed surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that the security guard at Yamaguchi would have such a deep financial resource to purchase such expensive special operations equipment for his mercenaries, and the weapons and equipment on these mercenaries in front of him were more advanced than those he was equipped with when he served in the special forces.

Saito watched him pay attention to his equipment, looked up at the dirty tracksuit he was wearing and his empty hands, and knew that he had no weapons on him, so he immediately whispered into the headphones.

With his words, he was standing at the edge of the forest with a gun and raised his gun at a mercenary in the mountains outside the forest, immediately turned around and walked quickly, walked to Kodakahashi and raised his hand to untie the pistol holster on his lap, threw the pistol along with the holster to Takahashi Jiro, and then turned around and took out a pair of monocular low-light night vision devices and individual communication radio from his backpack and handed them to him, followed by raising his hand to salute Saito, and walked towards the edge of the forest without saying a word.

Takahashi Jiro raised his hand in surprise to take the pistol, and hurriedly took the other equipment handed over by the other party, and then was about to stand up to thank the other party, but when he raised his head, he saw that the other party had turned around and left with a cold face.

He turned his head awkwardly and smiled at Saito in thanks, then expertly pulled out his pistol and checked it, then inserted it into the holster and tied the holster of the pistol around his waist.

Saito watched him inspect the gun without saying a word, and saw that he was very skillful in his movements, obviously a master of playing with guns, so he nodded with satisfaction. At this time, he really believed that this little Takahashi was born as a well-trained special forces.

He then looked at Xiao Takahashi and said coldly: "I was ordered to come here to seize the gem on the mountain, the basic situation has been told to me by the head of the Kuroda regiment, you can introduce the specific situation again, especially how did our two companions die?" You have to be elaborate".

When Takahashi Jiro heard Saito's words, he immediately understood in his heart: no wonder the mercenary seemed impatient when he threw the pistol to him just now. It turned out that these mercenaries were suspicious that they had abandoned their two companions at a critical moment, and that they had escaped alone to save their lives, so Saito and they were all a little disgusted with themselves in their hearts.

He hurriedly explained in detail the circumstances of his arrival here with two mercenaries. Then he told Saito in great detail about how he killed the three of them and how the Lingxiumen entered the cave, and how he was wounded by his opponent in a sneak attack in the forest, and the two mercenaries died one after another, of course, there was no lack of exaggeration in the process.

He already knew in his heart that those two dead companions were the companions of these mercenaries, and now that he was sitting here alive, these people would definitely be disgusted, so he had to describe the situation when the two mercenaries in the forest died as exaggerated as possible, so that they knew that they did not abandon their two companions, but were forced to break out when he had failed to rescue them and saw the two mercenaries dead.

He knew that he had to use this opportunity to gain the trust of Saito and his men. Otherwise, in the later actions, once they encounter danger in battle, the opponent will most likely abandon themselves. Although he is the cousin of their deputy head of the group, his cousin is dead, and he is not a member of their mercenary group, so he is an outsider after all.

After listening to his story, Saito was silent for a while before turning into the microphone and whispering to the guards around him to rest in place, and then looked at the cousin of the deputy head and asked with some doubts: "Is the other party's kung fu really so powerful?" Our head of the group said that the area around the top of the mountain and the cave where the treasures were hidden was extremely cold and unbearable for ordinary people. He said that your Takahashi family has some medicine that can ward off the cold in the mountains."
