Volume 3: The Road of the Strong Chapter 08: The Price of Life

"I hear you, Mole. What's the situation? Rogers asked.

"Captain Rogers, I've spotted the target and marked the target's location as you requested. My mission is complete, can you pay me the commission? The mole asked.

Rogers hesitated slightly. According to the rules of the mercenary world, the commission should be paid after the battle. However, the mole's pay was pitiful, and Rogers didn't care about these details, and said on the radio: "Penumbra, his mission is complete, inform T3 and pay him!" ”

"Rogers, Captain, pay now!" Parker replied.

"Alright, Mole, your mission is complete. The commission has been paid according to your requirements, now please withdraw from the target area! We're about to launch a raid! Rogers said.

Hearing Rogers' words, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, the mole's mission was thrilling. Although it is not a lot of money, it may be a very important income for the mole to improve the life of the family, and everyone who gives for the sake of the family should be respected.

"Captain Rogers, I have one more request!" "I'm right now outside the buildings on either side of the doorway you're directly across from you, there's patrolling the road, and I think most of the rest of the people are resting in the house, so I can go in and reconnoiter inside." That, that...," the mole continued, a little embarrassed.

"If you can scout more detailed information, I'll give you another $5,000!" The harvester guessed the mole's intentions and said directly: "However, if you are discovered, we will not affect the whole operation in order to save you!" Do you understand? ”

"Okay, I understand! Then wait a minute! And, thank you! The mole replied.

Jazz looked at the Reaper and whispered, "Captain Reaper, this is not good!" The mole went inside to investigate, and if it was discovered, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake, and the gains outweighed the losses! ”

"No, since he wants to make this part of the money, he should be sure. Besides, if he is discovered, as long as I don't reveal my location. 5,000 US dollars, we can get more detailed information inside, which can improve our chances of completing the mission and reduce the possibility of casualties on our side, which is very cost-effective! Harvester said.

Rogers also had some opinions on what the harvester was doing, but it had already happened. In order to save the face of the harvester, Rogers didn't say anything either.

Yang Fan also felt that there was some truth in the words of the harvester, but it was completely from the position of SK. He didn't think about the child's life or death at all, he just thought about whether it was worth the money he spent and the information he received. This way of thinking made Yang Fan inexplicably a little disgusted, in his heart, nothing can be more important than life.

After about ten minutes, the voice of the mole came over the radio: "Captain Rogers, there are about 20 more people in the rooms on either side of the doorway. From the point of view of equipment, they are basically equipped with AK47 rifles, as well as some M16 rifles, and no heavy weapons have been found.

There are 4 people at the main entrance, all of them are SVD sniper rifles, there are two ladders in the doorway, they should be 2 people handle the doorway, 2 people are ambushed at the head of the wall, and no machine gunners are found.

I also heard the patrol man talking to the other two snipers, who I guessed were ambushed on the roof of the first building on the left and right of the doorway, and the two snipers were supposed to be on a different shift than the others, and they were well camouflaged. ”

"Okay, I got it. Penumbra, check the Mole's information. Rogers replied.

Only a few seconds passed, Parker said over the radio, "Captain Rogers, the mole is right. The first building on either side of the doorway did have two snipers hidden, and they were very well camouflaged. If I hadn't gotten the information and zoomed in on the drone screen to focus on the investigation, I wouldn't have been able to find them! The screen has been transmitted to you! ”

Yang Fan raised his arm and saw two extremely well hidden snipers on the screen of his watch.

"Penumbra, please help me transfer $5,000 to him, use my own account!" Said the harvester.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Parker replied.

Rogers said to the mole over the radio, "Mole, I have received your intelligence, you are doing a good job, thank you!" Now please withdraw it, your mission is done. ”

"Your commission has been paid to you too!" The harvester added.

"Okay, thank you! Thanks, veryβ€”" replied the mole.

"Who, someone's breaking inβ€”" Suddenly the voice of an enemy came over the radio.

"Oops! The mole is exposed! The male dog said.

"Mole, what's the matter? Please reply immediately! The harvester shouted over the radio.

Parker then said over the radio, "Captain Rogers, the guide has been spotted!" He crawled out of a tunnel at the doorway on the left, and is now fleeing in your direction! ”

"Bastard! Don't run to our side, that will expose us! The harvester pressed the microphone and continued to shout.

But the mole couldn't pay attention to the radio at this time, and the gunshots behind him kept coming, and the bullets hit him or flew past him. The mole now only wanted to run for his life, and he ran like crazy in the direction of the crowd to hide.

He was still a kid after all, and although he had experienced battles, he had never been so close to death as he was today. The pressure of being chased by death stimulated his instinct to survive, and on the verge of life and death, he finally lost the calmness that should not have belonged to him. At this moment, the mole thinks that only Rogers and they can save themselves. The terrain outside the town is more complicated, and the mole is extremely fast, and the opponent did not hit him.

The vampire said over the radio: "Captain, the mole is running towards us, and the sniper on the other side is not shooting!" This means that they may have guessed our presence, and we will be discovered if we move now, but if the mole runs into our camp, it will also reveal our location. ”

The ronin said to Rogers, "Captain. If we let the mole run to us, we lose the first opportunity! Next, we may have to face more than 100 attacks. In that case, it will be almost impossible to complete the task within the allotted time! ”

Rogers nodded, frowning, and silent.

"I suggest killing the mole, now the enemy is also shooting, if we hide well, the other party may not be able to detect us!" Said the harvester.

Hearing the words of the harvester, Yang Fan's heart swelled with anger, the harvester really didn't care about the mole's life from beginning to end, and only regarded him as a tool that could be discarded at any time. Thomas was right, he only had tasks in mind, only money.

He looked at the harvester and said angrily, "How is this possible? The other side has a sniper, and as soon as you shoot, the other side will definitely find out our location, and the mole is just dead in vain. You executioner, you can't make up for your mistakes like this! ”

"Bastard! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! The harvester cursed, picking up his assault rifle with the muffler on it and observing the mole's position. There has long been a tacit understanding between SK, and the harvester is the vice-captain, and his proposal, as long as Rogers does not deny it, represents acquiescence.

Yang Fan wanted to follow, but Sokolov grabbed his arm and said sharply: "Newcomer, don't mess around!" You have to learn to obey orders! Our guns are all modified by the miser, and they are very effective at extinguishing flames, and if the harvester is fast enough, it will not reveal our position! ”

Kevin also pressed Yang Fan's shoulder at the same time, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, "Newcomer." This is SK, you are one of them, you have to obey orders, you have to act according to SK's style, don't have your own attitude. When you're strong enough to take control of a squad on your own one day, you'll have the right to decide what to do and what not to do! Do you understand? ”

"But, I..." Yang Fan turned his head to look at the indifferent Rogers, he knew that Kevin and Sokolov were right. He looked at the mole in front of him, which was hiding in a depression, and slowly gave up his resistance, but still clenched his fists.

The harvester quickly moved to a dense pile of bushes, and aimed at the mole through the gaps in the branches, trying to hide the slight flames of his gun through the bushes.

At the moment when the mole got up from the depression and wanted to rush towards them, a "bump" of a gunshot, a bullet shot through a branch to the head of the running mole, the mole's head splashed a cloud of blood mist, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

The harvester is indeed powerful, and he deliberately shoots the mole when it has just emerged from a depression. In terms of location, the opposite shot was better, this shot was accurate and hidden, and it was impossible to tell who the mole was shot by.

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment when he saw the mole falling, this child who was just elated to earn an extra $5,000 for himself fell to the snatch in an instant, and his own people snatched it. And the one who shot was the man who had just given him $5,000, the man whom the mole thought had given their family hope. It is estimated that the mole never thought that the extra $5,000 he earned was exchanged for his own life.

This is Yang Fan's first mission, and the first time he has seen someone shot, and the person who was shot and the person who was shot were his own people. The harvester returned to their side, and Yang Fan turned his head to look at the harvester with a relaxed face, and his fists clenched "gurgle".

Penumbra said over the radio, "Captain Rogers, there's nothing unusual about the other side. They didn't come out to check, and resumed their normal patrols, apparently not aware of your presence! I didn't care too much about the mole, probably thinking of him as an ordinary thief or a townsman who wanted to escape! ”

"Okay, receiveβ€”" Rogers was about to reply to Parker, but was interrupted by Yang Fan's cursing.

"Reaper, you bastard!" After confirming that he was not discovered, Yang Fan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, he stood up, rushed to the hidden position of the harvester like crazy, and punched the harvester in the face.

The harvester had already discovered Yang Fan's movements, he dodged Yang Fan's punch with a dodge, pressed Yang Fan to the ground, pressed Yang Fan's back with his knees, pressed Yang Fan's helmet with his right hand, and shouted in a low voice: "! Are you crazy? You're exposing us like that! Did You Know?! ”

Although the voice of the harvester was not loud, it was full of anger and murderous aura, and there was almost fire in his eyes.

Yang Fan was pressed to the ground and was still struggling desperately and scolding: "You're crazy!" You're crazy! The mole is still a child, and you let him risk it for $5,000! If you have an accident, you shoot him mercilessly like an enemy, and he is also our comrade-in-arms! Do you still have any humanity?! ”

"That's his own volition, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu has already paid him! He is not Lao Tzu's comrade-in-arms, we are just an employment relationship. He's threatening us, I'm going to have to kill him, do you understand?! Put away your poor compassion, or we will all be killed by you sooner or later! The harvester also roared angrily, but still lowered his voice and firmly controlled Yang Fan's movements.

The harvester continued to press Yang Fan into the grass. Yang Fan's mouth was already full of grass, and he couldn't make any sound anymore, but he didn't stop cursing in his heart.

At this point, Rogers walked past the two of them, and he pushed the harvester away. As soon as Yang Fan raised his head, Rogers slapped Yang Fan on the left side of his face, then grabbed his collar and whispered angrily: "Newcomer, listen to me!" Everyone's life has a price, and his life is worth it, so we negotiated the price in advance and paid for it. Since he decided to make money with his life, this is the result he has to bear! So we don't owe him anything! This is his life! Do you understand?!

It wasn't us who took his life, but those mercenaries of the other side! If we say we owe it, then it is God who owes it to him, God made him born in this ghost place, let him live in the chaos of war, not us! You don't have a flood of compassion here, calm down! The Reaper is right, you're useless except to kill us! ”

Yang Fan looked at Rogers and was silent for a long time, he wanted to refute Rogers, but he found that he had no reason. Yang Fan's eyes were red, and even he didn't know if it was because of sadness or anger.

"Boom" An explosion came, everyone quickly fell to the ground, and Rogers subconsciously pressed Yang Fan down and pressed him down.
