Chapter 1: Wild Bear Ridge
Wild Bear Ridge, as the name suggests, is a place infested with wild bears, in fact, this mountain located at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou is called Wild Bear Ridge, because it is the nest of the mountain bandit king Lao Liu. Originally, this place and the wild bear did not occupy the edge at all, but after Wang Lao Liu and a group of mountain bandits occupied this place, they publicized that they were infinitely powerful, and what kind of wild bear spirit was reincarnated, so they came and went, and the business travelers and pedestrians in the past called Wang Lao Liu Wang Wild Bear, and called this mountain Wild Bear Ridge.
"Hans, are they back?" Rowling, dressed in a black men's hunting suit, was bored with whipping the weeds in the mountains. The bodyguard captain Hans touched his nose helplessly, this is the tenth time Rowling has asked this question, it seems that his female boss is still quite interested in that Chinese boy. Luo Lin and they are now in a valley 20 miles away from Wild Bear Ridge, Luo Lin followed Zhao Zhi and they arrived here last night, but after living overnight wrapped in a military blanket, early this morning, Zhao Zhi took Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan into the mountain, and said that he was going to find out the news and survey the terrain.
Rowling was indeed worried about Zhao Zhi, and she saw the performance of the so-called mercenaries under Zhao Zhi along the way. After coming out of Shanghai, relying on the identification documents that Rowling got from the U.S. Embassy and the trucks with American flags, the group smoothly crossed the defense line of himself and [***], and crossed Hunan from Jiangsu to the border of Guizhou. The United States is still a neutral country in war, and although it is said that it is going to attack the United States, before revealing its claws, the US military uniforms on Zhao Zhi and his party are still very effective, at least the military inspection is not very strict, and the weapons hidden in the mezzanine of the truck ground have not been found.
After entering the national control area, the certification documents of the US embassy that Luo Lin brought with them played a role even more, and Zhao Zhi and the others had already taken out their weapons at this time, and the big noses of more than 100 loaded guns and ammunition wearing US military uniforms were far more shocking than a piece of paper. Zhao Zhi's people and Rowling's people came together about 130, divided into 7 trucks, due to Rowling's insistence, Henry, as the manager of the Chinese area of Fort London, did not come, and the decision-makers of this team became Rowling and Zhao Zhi.
On the way to Wild Bear Ridge, Rowling secretly compared her bodyguard team with the mercenaries under Zhao Zhi, and these bodyguards were all veterans of good fighting recruited by her father from the army. But Rowling found that those under Zhao Zhi seemed to be more elite than her bodyguards. On the surface, these so-called mercenaries seem to have little discipline or norms, but these guys will carry backpacks full of stones and follow the truck for 20 kilometers in the morning, noon and evening, and they still have spare energy.
The weapons they hid in the dark box at the bottom of the truck tray were put in by Rowling, submachine guns, Mauser sniper rifles, pistols, grenades, these weapons Rowling is no stranger, but Zhao Zhi has only more than 100 people, and he has 20 sniper rifles hidden, and there are as many as one pistol per person, which has to make Rowling begin to reestimate the combat effectiveness of Zhao Zhi's group.
"They're back," Hans's whisper interrupted Rowling's continued destruction of the weeds, and Zhao Zhi's guard post placed on a high post in the distance raised a red flag, which meant that Zhao Zhi and they had returned safely. Sure enough, it was just a short effort, and Zhao Zhi, who was covered with blades of grass, got out of the bushes, and when they went out, there were three people, and when they came back, it was still three, and it seemed that everything was going well.
Rowling carried a horsewhip and looked at Zhao Zhi and them who were walking towards them, and the light shining from the trees made Rowling's blonde hair extremely eye-catching and dazzling. "How's it going?" Rowling walked with Zhao Zhi side by side and asked a little eagerly. This batch of tobacco was not seen by Rowling at all, and the reason why she came with her was entirely because of Zhao Zhi and his mercenaries. When Hunter announced the establishment of a mercenary company in Shanghai, Rowling was traveling in the United States, and she had been yearning for a life of blood and fire since she was a child.
"It's not good, the news of someone leaking, the news of our coming has been known by the bandits, their cottage has been prepared, the sneak attack is not good, we have to think of other ways" Zhao Zhi scratched his head and said a little bitterly. Originally, according to Zhao Zhi's meaning, after reconnoitring first, he used the cover of terrain and night to directly attack the cottage. However, he took Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan to reconnoiter for a morning, only to find that the bandits' cottage had already taken precautions, and the only suspension bridge leading to their lair had been hung high, leaving Zhao Zhi with a bottomless mountain stream more than 20 meters long.
"Can we get around?" Rowling carefully looked at the sketch that Zhao Zhi had drawn on the ground with a tree branch, and pointed her finger at the flanks and back roads of the bandits' lair. The mountains were all adjacent, and Rowling didn't believe that there was no place to bypass the deep stream, as long as she could touch the mountain where the bandits were, she would be able to catch the bandits off guard with the weapons she brought.
Zhao Zhi threw the branch in his hand and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not possible, it's okay to go around, it's just that we don't have the tools to get in touch, and after sending a team to bypass, it is very likely that we will lose contact with the team." Moreover, to go around the mountain where the bandits' lair is located, it is estimated that you need to walk hundreds of miles of mountain roads, and the mountains are full of dense and impermeable forests, so it is easy to lose your direction. We don't have a lot of medicine and food with us, and if we get lost in the mountains, we risk losing all our efforts and ruining all our plans."
"So what do you say you should do? We can't just stay like this, nothing more, can we? After listening to Zhao Zhi's words, Rowling was a little deflated and began to pluck the weeds on the ground with a horsewhip. Rowling's face was a little ugly, she knew that Zhao Zhi was telling the truth, but it was too boring to wait like this, she knew that it would be so boring, so she stayed in Shanghai and didn't follow.
Zhao Zhi looked at Rowling's youngest daughter's house, and couldn't help but be happy, "Don't worry, I didn't say that we won't have a way" Rowling listened to Zhao Zhi's words as if there was a sense of turning around, so she grabbed Zhao Zhi's arm and looked at Zhao Zhi, looking at Rowling's eager pretty face, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and grabbed Rowling's slippery hand with his backhand.
Rowling's face turned red, she gently withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and distanced herself from Zhao Zhi, and there were bodyguards hired by Henry watching beside her, so it was not a good habit to get close to Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi coughed twice in embarrassment, looked at Hans who was staring at him next to him, and then said, "This gang of mountain bandits robbed your goods, they must have received the news to be so accurate, so we must first find their eyeliner outside the mountain, and after knowing the contact information between them, we can have a chance to take down this cottage." I've sent someone to do this, let's just wait, there will be news in three days at most."
