Chapter 8 The mountain rain is coming

Like the gusts of wind before the rainy season in Africa, a really strange news spread in the oasis base - someone has found a very high level of uranium ore in Viper Canyon, and the first prerequisite for mining these uranium ores is to clean up Viper Canyon completely!

For some reason, the clean-up must be completed within twenty-four hours of the order being issued!

No one can tell where the original source of the news came from, but the mercenaries or agents who came into contact with it all put on a mysterious appearance.

Almost all of the agents in the two communication bases occupy a computer terminal, and sneakily report the news they have received to their respective financiers, hoping to hear an accurate reply from the financiers. And the mercenaries, who are said to have received the task commission, have also begun to dodge and purchase weapons and equipment.

Although all the mercenaries who procured the equipment claimed that it was just a routine replenishment of weapons and equipment, everyone who heard the answer was scoffed at the answer - mercenaries were not arms dealers who made money by hoarding and short-term dumping. For them, a problem that can be solved with a dagger will never waste a bullet!

Gossip...... In other words, information that has been pieced together intentionally or unintentionally has become an unstoppable mainstream information by midnight. Humvee after Humvee and wheeled armored vehicles were refueled, and mercenary after mercenary was filling his magazine bag with enough ammunition. The atmosphere of impending war permeates the entire Oasis base.

As a result of these actions, the arms dealers at the Oasis base increased the price of their weapons at about the same time. In particular, vehicles suitable for sand chase battles and weapons and equipment with night vision functions have suddenly become invaluable. And those who are busy are staring at the computer screen with red eyes, or clutching their satellite phones for news, for fear of missing any information.

Almost imperceptibly, the quarrel began to spread within the Oasis base. In order to compete for what appeared to be an important piece of weaponry, or to stop another team of mercenaries who seemed to be in danger of getting in the way of their fortune, the two groups of mercenaries began to draw their guns against each other. And those agents who are indispensable on weekdays are intriguing for their own masters, and they have even summoned mercenaries who have long-term cooperation agreements with each other, putting on a posture of being ready to fight at any time!

In the world of mercenaries, violence has always been king. In an attempt to protect themselves, some agents and mercenaries began to make improvised combinations, trying to make their forces the best of the Oasis base for the time being. After arguing, swearing, intimidating and threatening, the mercenaries in the Oasis base finally reached an agreement - to carry out this anonymous entrusted mission together, and distribute the final benefits according to the troops dispatched from all sides and the results of the battle!

More than 15 strong agents undertook the credit guarantee and interest guarantee for this agreement. For the next two hours, the convoy lights whistling from the base of the oasis almost made the dawn of the arid country come early......

Coldly watching one after another cars full of mercenaries drive into the darkness, Tang Guoming let out a long breath and turned his face to look at Gu Weisu who was standing beside him: "It takes less than ten hours to achieve such an effect, good job!" ”

Grinning disappreciatively, the corners of his mouth were considered to have been smiling, and Gu Weisu stretched out the military laptop in his hand to Tang Guoming's eyes: "This is the credit of Pan Guan and Harbara." The mercenaries who went out of the Oasis base had at least twelve rotary-wing drones hanging from their heads, with a flight time of at least forty-eight hours. That is, all the actions of those mercenaries, right under our noses! ”

Taking over the military laptop, Tang Guoming said casually while checking the picture flashing on the computer screen: "What about those agents? What are you busy with right now? ”

Reaching out and clicking on the notebook a few times, Gu Weisu pointed to the several agents who were holding the satellite phone and talking non-stop on the screen and said, "They are still suspicious, but they don't dare not accept such a commission." After all, the gold lord behind them gave them the right to dispose of it on the spot, and letting go of such a big piece of fat meat is definitely not their style! By the way, according to the ambiguous information given by Pan Guan, if I didn't know the inside story, I might have believed that there was uranium in Viper Canyon? ”

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Tang Guoming laughed in a low voice: "Falsifying information and superimposing incitement warfare, Pan Guan's strength is this." I haven't practiced kung fu for several years, but the foundation is still there, which is really good! ”

Wiping the engine oil on his hand with a cotton cloth, Halbara strode to Tang Guoming's side and whispered to Tang Guoming: "Boss, all the vehicles have been modified, and the weapons and equipment have also undergone preliminary modification and debugging, when will we leave?" ”

Stretching out his hand on the computer screen to call up the topographic map of Viper Canyon, Tang Guoming pointed to several roads on the topographic map and said: "The mercenaries from the Oasis base launched a pincer attack in two directions, which can be seen from their driving routes. Since it was a clean-up operation, they would definitely not have wiped out all the armed personnel in Viper Canyon, the big deal was to drive them away! ”

After checking the two paths displayed on the computer screen, Tang Guoming stretched out his hand and pointed to the other paths and said: "Eric is a hostage kidnapped from the Republic of Dawa, and his men will definitely not return to the Republic of Dawa when they escape from Viper Canyon, so there are only two ways left!" ”

Looking at the map displayed on the computer screen, Bao Lei reached out and tapped a few times on the bridge on one of the paths, calling up the real-time image of the bridge: "Give me fifteen kilograms of explosives, and I can make this bridge fly directly into the sky!" ”

Pointing to the only remaining road, Pan Guan frowned and said, "The road that can be left behind is basically a desert road, and it is difficult to find even a terrain that can get stuck on the road. If we carry out hostage rescue on this road, in case Eric's outlaws take hostages and force their way through the attack...... I'm afraid we can't stop it, right? ”

Pointing back to the heavy trucks that had been welded or mounted with bulletproof plates, Bao Lei shouted confidently: "I have found a lot of good goods with the boss today, which is enough to deal with this kind of scene!" Boss, let's go, shall we? Afraid you won't be able to catch up if it's late? ”

Raising his eyes to look at the faintly visible morning star in the sky, Tang Guoming looked back at Pierre's office: "We still have something to do - you guys are ready to go, I'll go talk to Pierre and Penan!" ”

Strode into Pierre's office, and before Tang Guoming could speak, Pierre had already jumped up from his chair and whispered to Tang Guoming: "My God...... How did you do that? Just a few hours after leaving my office, you've almost all the agents in the Oasis base?! ”

Without answering Pierre's question, Tang Guoming turned his face to look at Peinan, who was sitting in the corner of the office with a bottle of beer, and said in a deep voice in Chinese: "Are we still on the same boat now?" ”

Putting down the wine bottle in his hand, Pei Nan nodded towards Tang Guoming: "Of course!" Frankly, I wasn't going to join the hostage rescue at first, but after seeing what you've done...... I think I've changed my mind? ”

Glancing at Pierre, who was rolling his eyes and looking at him and Pennan, a smile suddenly appeared on Tang Guoming's face: "So...... How do we divide and work together? ”

Nodding quickly, Penan replied, "No problem – you're the boss!" What do I need to do? ”

Lightning-fast reached out and pulled out a steel thorn the thickness of a sweater needle from the side of the seam of his pants, and Tang Guoming turned his hand and stabbed the steel thorn into the side of Pierre's neck. Without waiting for Peinan, who jumped up in shock, to speak, Tang Guoming had already helped Pierre, who had fallen limp, to sit on the chair: "Look at our money here, don't go anywhere!" ”

Looking at Pierre, whose breathing suddenly became heavy, but his face did not change much, fell into a deep sleep, Penan looked at Tang Guoming with some confusion: "That's all?" ”

Gently pulling out the steel thorn that had stabbed into the side of Pierre's neck, Tang Guoming re-stuffed the steel thorn into the hidden pocket next to the seam of his trousers: "Now the only one who can harm our business is Pierre!" As long as Pierre can remain silent until we finish the rescue operation, then I will do the rest! Rememberβ€”until I get back, you'll have to make sure there's no mess here! ”

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Penan bent down and grabbed a bottle of spirits, and poured it on Pierre: "A drunken drink that lasts at least twenty-four hours, is this excuse appropriate?" As for Pierre's henchmen and Eric, I'll let my men look out for them! ”

Turning around and walking out of Pierre's office, Tang Guoming quickly jumped into the Humvee that had started the engine, and nodded to Bao Lei who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Let's go, go to the northeast path!" ”

Slightly stunned, Bao Lei, who was driving forward, glanced at Tang Guoming in surprise: "The northeast path? Why don't we blow up the bridge first? ”

Closing his eyes slightly, Tang Guoming replied in a low voice: "That bridge is useful to keep!" I take a break for four hours, and then switch to me! ”

With a promise, Bao Lei grabbed the communicator and got in touch with the Harbara of the heavy truck, and quickly galloped towards the direction of travel designated by Tang Guoming......

The wind of dawn gradually became soft and warm from a slight chill at first. As the sun jumped over the horizon, the wind pouring in through the car windows became even more scorching. Despite being in a war-torn area, the scenery of nature is still beautiful. As far as the eye can see, a scenery full of black African recklessness can really make people's hearts feel refreshed, and it makes people feel more and more spiritual.

Running all the way along the winding road, when the sun was already high in the sky, Tang Guoming, who was originally in the car with his eyes closed and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and patted Bao Lei's arm: "Replace me to drive!" ”

Obediently parked the car on the side of the road, Bao Lei stretched out his hand and pointed to the military computer hanging in front of the driver's seat: "Those mercenaries are like chicken blood, you are chasing me all the way." Two cars overturned on the way, but the other cars didn't even stop, and rushed directly towards Viper Canyon! ”

Rubbing his eyes slightly, Tang Guoming asked in a sullen voice, "Judging by their speed, when will they be able to reach Viper Canyon?" ”

Silently calculating the speed of the mercenary convoy and the remaining distance, Bao Lei pointed to the clock displayed on the military computer: "In ten hours, they will almost be near Viper Canyon." Judging by the usual warning distance in the area of engagement and the combat experience of those mercenaries...... The fastest time they could attack should be around twenty o'clock in the evening! ”

Looking at the distance of the path displayed on the computer screen, Tang Guoming neatly took over the driving responsibility given by Bao Lei: "We can be one hour ahead of them!" Lei Gong, is there a problem with laying a deceptive mine array with a width of at least 200 meters in one hour? ”

Nodding confidently, Bao Lei closed his eyes as he leaned on the co-pilot's seat: "Forty-five minutes is enough!" Boss, I'll take your place in four hours! ”
