Chapter 210: The Barren Land 2 (I)
"Dog, don't say I don't remind you, Dick is a playboy who knows a woman's heart!" Returning to the room, Chen Badai's words that he had been holding back for a long time finally spoke.
"Ruobing knows how to measure things." Wang Xingguo said, but with some sullenness.
"That's what you think...... Do you have a matchmaker with her or do you worship heaven and earth three times? You're not even officially boyfriend and girlfriend now. Chen Badai pursed his lips, Wang Xingguo didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin!
"I can tell you, dog, although I, Chen Badai, have my feet and stomachs turning when I see a beautiful woman, but this is my brother's woman, and I won't agree to outsiders touching me!" Chen Badai took off his clothes, showed off his muscles, and said.
Wang Xingguo smiled dumbly and said, "You still have to worry about other things, when I went to see the equipment with Dick just now, I found that those aborigines looked at us with some strange eyes, and they were not friendly." ”
"If you bury gold in your house, and such a group of people come to dig up your gold, you won't give people a good look." Chen Badai said nonchalantly, this is not a matter, I really don't know what Wang Xingguo has to worry about about this.
"No, it's another kind of unkindness." Wang Xingguo said.
"Will it still eat us?" Chen Badai pouted, this event has local tyrant-level materials and logistics support, and it is not difficult overall, it can be said to be an outdoor outing.
The standard of the dinner was prepared according to the standards of the top French banquets, and even the silver cutlery was placed, and Dick's secretary Roger half-jokingly said to Xia Ruobing that this was originally prepared for celebration, because the arrival of the angel made Dick temporarily change his mind, which made Xia Ruobing feel flattered.
Although China is like a god in the exquisite art of eating, but you can't beat the owner's heart, those top European delicacies really don't quite arouse everyone's taste buds, Chen Badai can't wait to leave early, so that he can go back to his room to soak a box of fragrant braised beef noodles.
Most of the time the banquet is an occasion to enhance feelings, eating a full stomach is secondary, everyone talks to each other about topics of interest, seeking opportunities to make friends, Dick wears a decent dress, has been around Xia Ruobing, it is easy to misunderstand Xia Ruobing is the hostess of this banquet.
Out of courtesy, Xia Ruobing could only smile and listen to Dick introduce his right-hand men one by one, shaking hands with them one by one, Mr. Min also felt a little helpless about Dick's "enthusiasm", so he had to accompany Wang Xingguo and others, so that they did not feel left out.
"It's so long and boring." Mr. Min leaned against the pillar and pretended to speak casually.
"But there are people who have fun." Chen Badai said a little sourly.
Wang Xingguo didn't say a word, holding a silver plate and fighting with the roast turkey.
"Dog, no wonder you're single!" Chen Badai was really angry.
"It's trust!" Wang Xingguo said.
"The emperor is not in a hurry, what is the eunuch in a hurry?" Sherpa shook his bear slap at Chen Badai. Sherpa is still very confident in his sister, and he thinks that Chen Badai is just worrying.
"After all, Xia Ruobing is our expert, and Dick can still grasp the measure." Mr. Min laughed.
"That bearded man's name is Christine, and he's our mechanic, and his team is in charge of our entire mechanical security." Mr. Min felt that this was the time to introduce the members of the team - although this should have been what Dick should have done, it was obvious that his energy was attracted to Xia Ruobing.
"That's Dilma, an expert in geology and minerals, and his team is in charge of topographic analysis." Mr. Min said, pointing to another person.
"They're all experts!" After listening to Mr. Min's introduction, Chen Badai put down his wine glass, and inexplicably felt a little inferior.
"Technology is just a means, but the expertise of the Forbidden Land Hunter is irreplaceable," Mr. Min said, "and that's our advantage." ”
"In that case, why do we need us?" Wang Xingguo asked.
"Some things have to be done by people you can trust." Mr. Min said mysteriously.
Dick invited these people in the name of mineral exploration, but the actual situation was still hidden from them, once the approximate location was determined, the task of these people was basically completed, and finally the last kick was completed by Wang Xingguo and others.
"Well, since it's a curse breaker, why make it so mysterious?" Chen Badai felt that this was a bit of a fuss.
In Chen Badai's opinion, finding it, going in, reciting a spell, and dancing a big god is at most difficult to pass in certain sections, is it necessary to be so mysterious and secretive?
"Chen Badai, after all, this is an immeasurable wealth, the more people know about it...... You get the idea. Mr. Min laughed.
"Oh, I see, I see!" Chen Badai suddenly realized.
"So, we're not here to make friends, you have to understand that." Although Mr. Min didn't say it explicitly, everyone heard it and kept their distance from others as much as possible.
"Okay, so when can we start?" Although Wang Xingguo said that he didn't mind Dick revolving around Xia Ruobing, he was actually very uncomfortable in his heart.
"There is also a special batch of supplies, which will take a few days." Mr. Min said.
"In other words, in the area of several thousand square kilometers now, we don't know where the mine is, and Wang Ling doesn't know." Wang Xingguo asked.
"Yes." Mr. Min replied crisply.
"Running to this bitter cold place to kill time!" Chen Badai sighed.
While he was talking, a person hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words to Dick, and Wang Xingguo noticed this person, dressed very smartly in a snow coat and a warm fluff hat.
"This is our security consultant," Mr. Min saw Wang Xingguo looking at him attentively, and said, "Chinese, named Robert Lee, is said to be a gun instructor, who originally participated in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and has been working as a security consultant for the rich after retiring, Dick specially spent a lot of money to dig it from a local tyrant this time." ”
"If it's an expedition, why do you still have a security advisor? I guess they also carried weapons, right? Wang Xingguo saw Dick dump the guests and talk to Robert Lee alone in the corner, although he couldn't hear what was being said, but Dick's expression was a little angry.
"There has to be a perfect preparation, although Dick is the legal master here, but the aborigines don't think so." Mr. Min said.
"You can see that the aborigines are not very friendly people." Wang Xingguo reminded.
"Wang Xingguo, whether it is a diamond mine or a royal tomb, any immeasurable wealth, most of these aborigines are the descendants of those who chased wealth back then, and they stay here because there is still hope."
At this point, Dick and Robert Lee seemed to be arguing, and Dick pointed with his finger, but Robert Lee spread his hands and shook his head constantly.
"Looks like there's trouble." Wang Xingguo said, walking over there.
"No way, Dick, you invited me here for safety, but not for a crime!" As Wang Xingguo approached, he heard Robert raise his voice and stopped.
Dick and Robert both saw Wang Xingguo, the two were a little embarrassed, Wang Xingguo walked straight over, pretending to be casual and asked, "Is there any trouble?" ”
"It's not much of a hassle." Dick disguised.
"Dick, we have to think about this, or I'm afraid there's going to be more trouble," Robert softened a little when he saw that there was an outsider, "I'll go out and deal with this first." ”
"Bigger trouble? I am the master of this land, these thieves and robbers live on my land, and I have to pay them a lot of money! Dick sneered, "What could be more trouble than this?" ”
As soon as Dick finished speaking, he heard an explosion outside, and Robert shouted, "Unlucky!" Hurriedly rushed out.
The explosion dissipated the atmosphere of the party, and most people did not know what was happening, and they froze in place, followed by another explosion.
Robert rushed out as he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! ”
Wang Xingguo then followed, and as soon as he walked out of the banquet hall that had been converted into a warehouse, he saw a raging fire in the parking lot, and sporadic gunshots came from that direction.
Xia Ruobing also ran out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'll go and see, you go back to the room, don't come out!" Wang Xingguo felt that things were not simple.
"It's ours! Our! Get out of here! When Wang Xingguo hurriedly ran to the parking lot, he heard the angry roar of the aborigines.
In the face of interests, any morality and law are so pale and powerless. It is true that Dick is the rightful heir to the land in legal terms, but the Zacher family has not managed and managed the land for hundreds of years, and the people who have been chasing the wealth here have not achieved the wealth they have coveted, and they have multiplied here, and their descendants have taken it for granted that this place is theirs.
Chen Badai's analogy is not wrong, neither side recognizes that the other is the owner of this land, and the ownership of wealth in the land is very controversial.
Dick had come here in the name of a mining company, and when he first arrived, he paid a lot of rent to the aborigines, renting some of the best houses in town as outposts, but as time went on, the natives smelled something strange - these people were not here to survey, they were asking about Walla, about the diamond mine that had disappeared for hundreds of years, and since then, the conflict between the two sides has begun to erupt.
"These damn robbers are just trying to snatch the last coin out of my pocket!" Dick cursed, but the matter had to be settled.
Robert Lee is a very experienced security expert, although he was attacked, but he strictly restrained his own people, did not shoot, and finally did not expand the matter, although Dick cursed thieves and robbers, but he could only solve the matter through negotiation at this time.
The expedition also lost two vehicles, and the aborigines seemed to know that a strong dragon could not overwhelm the snake, so they chose to set fire to the banquet when most of the people were attending the banquet, and Robert Lee had only five security personnel under him, obviously unable to prevent the siege of two or three hundred people.
