The reason why this house is strange is that this house is located in the interior of the hotel, there are no windows like a secret room, but the layout is very much like a bank hall open to the public.
With a total area of more than 100 square meters, five sets of leather sofa covers are neatly arranged below, and red wine and cigars are placed on the coffee table in the middle.
It looks very tall, like a luxurious upgraded bank waiting area.
There is a closed counter in front of it, and there is only one external reception window, and you can see that there are people inside, which is very similar to the service window of a bank.
Before leaving, the middle-aged white man did not introduce this place to Xing Xiaolong.
Fortunately, although Xing Xiaolong was here for the first time, before the Green Zone Hospital left, Louis had already told him the whole process in detail.
According to the process explained by Louis, Xing Xiaolong walked to the front and delivered the letter to the window.
All in the window is a sexy chick, the kind with blonde hair and big waves exploding body, but unfortunately there is no expression on her face, she picked up the letter and opened it to read it quickly, and said dryly: "A gold coin, service fee." β
Xing Xiaolong sent the gold coin into the window, curiously wanting to look inside through the window.
It's a pity that I can't see anything, and the frosted glass is blocked.
The blonde sexy woman took the gold coin, put it on the instrument on the right and scanned it, looking like she was checking the authenticity, and then said without emotion: "Mr. Louis Gabriel Largs, the following information needs to be checked, you just need to answer yes or no." β
Although the blonde used an honorific title, her tone was completely reversed.
The kind that doesn't match!
"Every place is weird, and sending a letter is also mysterious, how can I look at it more and more ......?"
Xing Xiaolong whispered in his heart and said yes in awkward English.
Simultaneous translation earbuds can translate synchronously, but it can't make Xing Xiaolong speak standard English, fortunately, he only needs to answer a simple yes or no.
Otherwise, this is really embarrassing Xing Xiaolong, who has eight advanced English skills.
Although Xing Xiaolong's appearance is not like the European and American format of the name, and the English is also sparse, and he doesn't even say a Yes, but the blonde sexy girl doesn't care.
It can even be said that she doesn't care about this at all, she only thinks that the gold coins are not real.
"Class A rescue mission, are you sure!"
The blonde asked the first question, Xing Xiaolong couldn't figure out what it was, so he simply came to the guidelines for English conversation, and if he didn't understand, he said, "YES!" β
"The mission commission is $2,000,000, and once confirmed, this money will be paid out of your pre-deposit account in advance and deposited in the Peace Hotel commission payment account, whether it is confirmed."
βYESοΌβ
"List of rescue missions: two rescue targets, Artilisia Lotus Largs, a white woman; Su Dayu, Asian female. Duration of the mission, two days. Attach conditions, agree to join a rescuer, whether it is OK. β
βYESοΌβ
"The mission has been fully determined, it cannot be changed, the mission order will be on the list in three minutes, you can go, and Mr. Lucas will arrange the rest."
After the sexy girl finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xing Xiaolong to reply, and simply closed the small window neatly.
It's very cold!
"The rescue commission is 2 million US dollars, I can't earn so much in my life, and the people who do this business, this money is really easy to make."
Xing Xiaolong was speechless, and retreated from the room with envy.
"Sir, please come with me, please rest assured that I will arrange the rest, I will take your room to rest first, and when the task personnel arrive, I will take you to meet them then."
It was still a middle-aged white man in a tuxedo just now, who took the initiative to come up and introduce the process to Xing Xiaolong, and then sent him to a very luxurious hotel suite.
Wine and lunch are already on the table, and there are a few sets of clothes to choose from.
It's all free!
I have to say that although this place is chattering, this service really has nothing to say.
Xing Xiaolong was not used to drinking red wine, and he was not in the mood to drink, so he devoured the unpalatable "fish eggs", grabbed a large piece of steak and gnawed it.
I took a shower, changed into a free suit, and sat in the living room waiting for news.
What the hell is this mission order, Xing Xiaolong doesn't know.
He didn't know exactly what mode it was running.
He also didn't know how long it would take for the person to arrive.
As the saying goes: Hometown is timid!
The time for rescue was getting closer and closer, and the thought that he might have to face a group of militants and even kill someone, Xing Xiaolong's heart became more and more apprehensive and nervous.
To kill people, these three words, I feel that most people dare not think of it, because when they think of it, they will instinctively fear.
Xing Xiaolong never thought that he would kill people, even if he went to be a soldier, he never thought that being a soldier in peacetime would require killing, this possibility is too low.
But now, killing people is already in front of you.
What would it be like to kill the first person with your own hands, will it be disgusting like in the movie, or will the whole person fall into autism.
Xing Xiaolong didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it, forcing himself not to think about it.
Just remember one thing β
Save!
Xing Xiaolong's mind was full of thoughts, but fortunately, the middle-aged white man named Lucas didn't let him wait long, and reappeared in the room in less than an hour.
took Xing Xiaolong through the hidden elevator and went down to a large room in the basement that looked like a conference room.
It's not as luxurious as it is above, except for the white lighting, there are only simple tables and chairs, and all kinds of weapons and equipment placed on the table.
Six different rifles, more than a dozen pistols, a wide variety of grenades, bullets, accessories, sniper rifles and light machine guns mounted on the table, and more.
It's all like a small arsenal!
Before Xing Xiaolong arrived, there were already 6 men and 1 woman in this house, wearing the same all-terrain camouflage uniform, and they were skillfully sorting out the weapons and equipment on the table.
Seeing the appearance of this group of people, Xing Xiaolong was very sure that he was not a soldier or a policeman, and his first thought was that he was the most widely circulated mercenary in China, and he couldn't help but ask in broken English: "You, mercenaries, are you mercenaries?" β
"Mercenaries? Hahaha"
Standing at the front of the left side of the large round table, there was a scar on his forehead, his face was full of beards, he was more than 1.85 meters tall, and his body was stronger than Xing Xiaolong, standing there like a white strong man with a brown bear.
Hearing Xing Xiaolong call them mercenaries, he laughed out loud.
Xing Xiaolong could hear that this was a contemptuous laugh, a smile that he disdained to be with it from the bottom of his bones, but he didn't know why this strong man with a scar was laughing.
The word mercenary, is it really that funny?
Xing Xiaolong doesn't understand!
"Click! Click! Click! β
The strong man with the scar pulled a few shots, put the muffled Hk 416 on the table, pointed to a sturdy black man directly opposite him, and said, "Among the names of people like you, two years ago, his name was Delta Special Forces. β
Then, he pointed to the second one opposite.
"A year ago, he was still known as the SAS elite, the pride of Niu Niu Country, did you see the badge on his chest? That's because of the knight's medal, his baby. β
"And I ......"
The scarred hair-faced man poured a sip of wine into his mouth and wiped the wine stains on his beard: "10 years ago, I retired from the Alpha team, and now my code name is the Tigers, the Tigers from Alpha.
It doesn't matter what kind of name we used to have, but now we only have one name, PMC, which is our only name,
Mercenary? Hahaha, call us that salted fish offal, are you kid insulting me? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu punches you flat. β
When the name PMC was mentioned, the scarred strong man who called himself the Tiger flashed a strong sense of faith and honor in his originally listless eyes.
A sense of honor that belongs to a warrior!
This aroused Xing Xiaolong's confusion and curiosity.
Scar Man is right, mercenaries are indeed a group of salted fish and offal, except for a very small number of innocent people who have to join, the vast majority of mercenaries are gangsters, murderers, robbers, war criminals, etc., who have no place to go.
To put it bluntly, there are no requirements to be a mercenary, anyone can do it.
Such a group of scum, will they have honor and faith?
No!
Xing Xiaolong never thought that there was no bottom line, and the mercenaries who were cholera on the battlefield purely for money would have a belief in honor in their hearts, let alone a firm belief.
However, this strong man, who calls himself a tiger, has honor and faith from his bones.
In that case, he was certainly not a mercenary.
But why is this group of people no longer soldiers, but they still have the belief of soldiers, is this PMC in his mouth really different?
Xing Xiaolong was intensely curious!
What Xing Xiaolong didn't know was that it was because of this inadvertent curiosity that brought him into a new world and started a legendary life of PMC that belonged to him.
