After a week's long journey, everyone finally entered the land of Vajra Fruit.

This way of eating and sleeping in the open, walking in the rugged mountains, made the five people of the dragon soul suffer a lot.

Fortunately, they are all mercenaries, and this kind of wilderness survival is not unexperienced, so there are no accidents.

What's more, they have plenty of weapons and ammunition in their hands, all of which were provided by Jacob before. They didn't use much during their mission, so the journey went a lot smoother.

Whether it was the poisonous snakes and beasts in the jungle itself, or the mob rebels hiding in it, they didn't have much impact on Lin Dong and them, and in the end, they gave Lin Dong a lot of mercenary points.

However, after entering the Vajra Fruit, their journey is not over, because now they are only in the easternmost province of the Vajra Fruit, North Kivu Province.

And the place they need to reach is the province southwest of Vajra, Kasai Occidental, or now known as Lulua.

The capital, Kananga, is the second largest city in Kongo, located on the southern edge of the Congo Basin, on the Kuango Plateau, with an altitude of about 650 meters. It is surrounded by world-famous diamond mining areas.

The person who issued the mission this time was in Kananga City, and he was an acquaintance, it was Lin Xia, a beautiful woman who had a relationship in South Africa before.

The reason why she was able to contact Lin Dong was that in the previous meeting, Lin Dong and Fang Duo left contact information for each other.

This time, her purpose for contacting Lin Dong was actually related to Fang Duo and them.

As early as when they were in South Africa, the purpose of Fang Duo's visit to Africa this time was not only to meet Lin Dong, but they also had another important mission, that is, to go into the Congolese jungle to find something.

And this Congo jungle is the tropical rainforest of the Congo Basin in Africa. Its area is second only to the tropical rainforest of the Amazon Basin in South America, and it is known as the "second lung of the earth".

More than half of the tropical rainforests of the Congo Basin are located in the Central African country of Kongo. The land area of the diamond fruit is more than 2.3 million square kilometers, of which 54% is covered by forests.

This time, Fang Duo and their scientific expedition team into the jungle had a total of ten people, led by Fang Duo, who was a special forces officer, and he also led a six-person escort team.

The remaining three are scientists, an old professor of biological sciences at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lin Zhongchen. and two doctoral students led by him, Wei Xing and Fang Yu.

Originally, Lin Xia also wanted to follow along, but was rejected by Fang Duo and her father Lin Zhongchen at the same time, so she could only act as a peripheral contact person, always paying attention to the situation of the scientific expedition team.

It was only a week ago that their contact with the expedition team suddenly disappeared, and although they got some news intermittently, it was not good news.

The scientific expedition team encountered danger in the depths of the rainforest, and people had already died, so Lin Xia wanted to organize a rescue team and enter the depths of the rainforest to rescue.

But this is not something that can be done overnight, and the most important thing is the members of the rescue team.

You must know that the escort team composed of six special soldiers is in distress, and these people are simply looking for death when they go in.

The news had already been transmitted back to China, but it would take some time to organize people to come over, so Lin Xia, who had nothing to do, had to think of a way to hire mercenaries to rescue.

And this method has also been approved by the country, and they are willing to pay the corresponding commission for this employment.

Moreover, in a place like Africa, it is more convenient for mercenaries to do things than for people from within the country.

This is what happened to Lin Dong and their Dragon Soul Mercenary Group to King Kong Fruit.

It took less than half a day to get to Kananga by plane from North Kivu province.

Of course, they are not in a regular civil aviation, after all, their group is smuggled over, and it is a little unlikely that they want to do civil aviation.

This time they were on a helicopter, and the owner was a guy who specialized in providing various services to mercenaries.

Provided, of course, that you need to be rich!

Ben was in charge of contact, because he had been in the Congo for two years, and he had one or two dealings with each other during that time.

But it's all done as a last resort, in Ben's words, this guy is a vampire, and if they deal with him once, then they need to do at least one major war mission to earn it back.

However, this is not a problem for Lin Dong and them, and now Lin Dong and they are not short of money.

What's more, now they are on the road to make money, and the employer is too urgent, so Lin Dong and they have to use this method.

Just one time of travel, it cost Lin Dong and them 5,000 US dollars, an average of 1,000 US dollars per person, which is definitely countless times more expensive than taking a flight.

"This guy doesn't just have this kind of logistics service, he's also in charge of buying and selling arms, so boss, if we need anything here, we can just go to him, and you can get whatever you want."

Sitting in the cabin of a Black Hawk helicopter, Ben said to Lin Dong.

In this regard, Lin Dong nodded very much in agreement, just because the other party could easily get a Black Hawk helicopter, it could be seen that his strength was there.

You must know that in King Kongguo, even their government army only has a small amount of American-style equipment, and most of the armament is still AK47 assault rifles and RPG rocket launchers.

This level of equipment, even in Africa, is only available to militants or rebels, and regular government forces are equipped with more advanced weaponry to ensure their combat effectiveness.

"We really need to change our equipment." Lin Dongdao.

They still have G3 rifles and UMP45 submachine guns brought from Kenya in their hands, but these will be a little difficult to enter the deep jungle in the future.

Entering the jungle is no better than the city, especially the Congo jungle, a tropical rainforest that stretches for millions of square kilometers, which is full of unknown dangers, and Lin Dong doesn't want any more accidents on their mission.

Moreover, from Lin Xia's mouth, Lin Dong also knew that their mission this time was not only to face a treacherous environment but also dangerous jungle creatures, and most importantly, they might face an armed enemy in the jungle.

This kind of high mountain and dense forest place happens to be a happy land for all kinds of armed groups to live.

And there's something in it that they live on. For example, all kinds of rare wild animals and plants, as well as rare minerals, etc., these are resources that can support them.

Therefore, Lin Dong and the others must be ready to encounter these people at any time.

"No problem, boss." Ben patted his chest and said.

"I'll get in touch with him now, and when we get to Kananga, we'll be able to get the gear we want from him."
