On the second day after returning to the base, Yang Fan went to the weapons and equipment center to determine the final grinding tools, and came to the weapons and equipment center again three days later as agreed to take the equipment that the miser promised to lend him for temporary use.

Rogers said that they were about to have a mission, and that they would have a pre-war meeting in the afternoon, and Yang Fan had to get his equipment in advance.

Yang Fan had just entered the exhibition hall on the first floor, and a beautiful lady dressed professionally walked over, who shook hands with Yang Fan warmly, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Mr. Jerry, I am the secretary of the miser, you can call me Lucy." He told you to come and pick up some of your gear today, so please come with me. ”

Yang Fan nodded, and under Lucy's guidance, he went to the rest area on the first floor, and Lucy poured him a cup of coffee and left temporarily.

About 2 minutes later, Lucy returned. She was followed by two male staff members, each pushing a rack of clothes with various camouflage uniforms and protective equipment. Another man was pushing a small cart and pulling several boxes of different shapes and sizes, and the two men put down their things and stood next to them to wait.

Lucy first pulled over the rack of clothes and said to Yang Fan: "Mr. Jerry, this is your custom-made military clothing." Camouflage uniforms include: jungle, desert, ocean, city, plateau desert, aviation, desert and general, a total of 16 sets, and 5 sets of regular combat uniforms, a total of 21 sets. These garments are tailored to your body and are made of the most advanced materials in the world, with strong protection and concealment functions. ”

Lucy pulled the shelf back, pointed to the back of a few clothes, and said, "These are two sets of ultra-light body armor, which are made of the latest nanomaterials, which can not only be bulletproof, but also absorb a part of the kinetic energy of the bullet." In our tests, it was found to be effective against 5.56mm conventional rifle bullets and medium-intensity cold weapon attacks.

These pieces are made into close-fitting styles, and we can customize them into any style according to your preferences if you need them. Behind are six sets of different grades of regular body armor, all of which have been lightweighted and 30% lighter than what you can buy on the market, but 20% more protective, which you can use alone or in combination with our ultra-light body armor, depending on the situation. ”

After saying that, Lucy pulled the clothes rack to the back, opened the largest box on the cart, and said, "This is all the equipment you have customized, including helmets, pennies, night vision devices, backpacks, belts, first aid kits, radio communication systems, all-carbon fiber multifunction phones and multi-function watches, etc., we have customized them according to your personal data."

If you have any of the above items damaged during the battle, you can bring them back to us and we will recommend that you repair and/or replace them depending on the situation. Of course, there is a fee for this. ”

After Lucy finished speaking, she handed a receipt to Yang Fan and said, "The total value of these things is 837,500 US dollars, if there is no problem, please sign it." ”

Yang Fan took the receipt and signed his name directly. Kevin and Sokolov have told him a few miserly things these days, and the equipment he makes is really impeccable, so there is no need to inspect the goods.

Lucy took the receipt and smiled with satisfaction, pointed to the last few boxes of different shapes, and said, "Those are the temporary guns of your choice, a HK417 precision marksman rifle, a SCAR-L assault rifle, a USP pistol, and a special Damascus straight knife." The boss has explained that these are borrowed for free to you, and you can return them when the time comes. If you don't have a problem, I'll send someone to send these things to your combat command center. ”

"Okay, thanks. I don't have any problems! Yang Fan said.

Lucy waved to the two men, who nodded, repacked their things, and prepared to send them to SK's operations command center.

When all this was done, Lucy was about to turn away when she saw the miser approaching.

He beckoned to Lucy from afar and said, "Lucy, the money for this part of the basic equipment has been deducted from Jerry's account, someone has already paid for it!" ”

"Okay, I got it, boss! I will deduct the money from the 2,734,800 yuan and then reprint a statement to Mr. Jerry. After Lucy finished speaking, she nodded and smiled goodbye to Yang Fan and the miser, and then turned around and left the rest area.

The miser sat down on the sofa next to Yang Fan, and before Yang Fan could speak, he preemptively said, "I know what you want to say, you don't want to owe others." But the money was paid by Evan, and he paid for the basic equipment for all 8 of you. He said that in terms of firearms, everyone chooses according to their own preferences, and each person has one set of these basic equipment, and he pays for it, and all of them are the best. Moreover, even Parker from that intelligence information center has it.

Oh, and he asked me to say something special to you. He said that he was none other than him, that you were brothers, and that there was nothing that was not owed. I'm modifying the basic equipment of the other people according to their situation, and I expect it to be completed in 3 days. Evan told me not to tell you yet, just to tell you at checkout. ”

Yang Fan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Miser." In his heart, Evan was indeed not an outsider. There are a few other friends who are the same, although we don't get along for a long time, but they can talk very well, in Chinese dialect, there is a feeling of seeing each other late.

"Jerry, I really didn't misread you!" The miser continued, "I am one of the heads of the seven departments of T3, and I have the right to know some of your experiences. I know very well that although he has a wide range of contacts, he will never make friends casually. All 9 of you have unique experiences, at least among the mercenaries of T3.

To be honest, after a long time of contact with those mercenaries, all I have in my eyes is money. But I want to believe you, I want to believe you, you are different from them. That feeling... It's like... Particularly trustworthy, I don't know why this is happening, so I'm willing to let you owe me money.

At the same time, I also believe that you can really give me something that I like. To be honest, not everyone can get their hands on what I like. The guys at SK always get some good stuff, but those guys are not short of money, they would rather buy things from me for more money than give me really good things! ”

He approached Yang Fan, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "But you are different, I know that you are not for these, and the nine of you are not for these." So, you know... Hey, hey, hey. ”

Yang Fan also smiled slightly, he liked the whole miser a little, although he was mercenary, but at least he was above board, so he smiled and said, "Mr. miser." You're willing to let me owe you money because you think you can get what you want from me? ”

The miser sat back to his normal sitting position, thought about it, and said solemnly: "Not exactly! You may not believe it, they all call me a miser, but I need friendship in addition to money.

In fact, my money is enough for me and my family to live well for a lifetime. But I'm used to being here, I'm used to life here, and I'm even more used to the people here. Here, you get everything you want, but you're not necessarily happy, that's what I've come to after 10 years here.

I was touched by you and Evan, and your friends. In this base, there is no shortage of brothers in life and death, in fact, every person in the squad can be regarded as brothers in life and death. However, most of the feelings between them come from the battlefield, and the battlefield can indeed allow two people to quickly close the distance between each other, but I never think that is the kind of friendship that people should have. But a few of you are different, I feel that there is a simple like-mindedness between the few of you, which is the real friendship. ”

He leaned over a little more and said to Yang Fan, "You know what? When I chose to promise you to default on your equipment that day, I actually felt a long-lost trust, not just a transaction. It was a very happy feeling, and I haven't experienced that feeling in a long time. Hey, you probably don't understand it now, but you'll understand what I'm talking about when you stay here for a long time. ”

With that, the miser twisted back and leaned back on the back of the sofa chair, looking like he was enjoying it.

"I believe in you, Mr. Miser. I think I'd love to be friends with you. Yang Fan said.

"Yes, why?" The miser asked, looking surprised.

Yang Fan took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Because I need to tell myself that this is the life I want." I don't want my life to be full of blood, revenge and killing, I need something else to support me back to my normal life. ”

The miser nodded and said, "If a few years ago, I would have said that you were naïve, this is not the thinking that a mercenary should have. But now, I can only say that you are very smart, many mercenaries do not understand what they live for until they die. But you, when you first entered this field, you already understood! It's so rare! ”

"Well, thank you, miser. I'm leaving, and in the afternoon the captain is going to call a pre-war meeting. Yang Fan stood up and said goodbye to the miser.

"Okay, Jerry. Remember, you must survive! The miser instructed.

"I remember, and you can call me Yang Fan." Yang Fan smiled slightly and walked out of the weapons and equipment center.
