In the thin morning mist, a massive steel monster slowly stopped on the calm edge of the Ayeyarwady River, and Uncle Billy flipped a switch on the dashboard, and the Paramount Marauders under his command stopped in a rough roar, merging into the quiet morning light.

The slight vibration of the engine stop woke up Anatoly, who was resting in the co-driver, and he sat upright, rubbing his sparse sleepy eyes, touching his bald head, looking at the scenery outside the window, and asking, "Are we in Mandalay?" ”

"To be exact, in the eastern suburbs of Mandalay City, wake up the children to wash up and watch the rare sunrise over the Irrawaddy River. Oh yes, by the way, put away everything and find a place to hide, Mandalay is known as the safest city in Myanmar and even in South Asia, and the local government definitely doesn't like people other than them to have weapons. Uncle Billy, who had slipped out of the cab with a cigar in his mouth, replied, then stepped on the front wheel cover and walked to the hood with his back to the windshield and sat down.

"Why do you want me to do these things while you're smoking?"

"Because I'm on duty in the second half of the night, I'm very tired and need to rest." Uncle Billy answered rightly.

Anatoly responded with a straight middle finger, removed the HK416 and AK12 assault rifles they were accustomed to from the gun racks next to the driver's and passenger seats, closed the safety along with the pistols, and bent over into the compartment with these weapons.

During their stay in Thailand, the two uncles teamed up to carry out a second transformation of the rear compartment. The comfortable but impractical leather seats were removed, and replaced with two hammocks and a long cabinet, the upper and lower bunks on the left were used for Erina Nagi and Fu Hua to rest, and the long cabinet on the right was covered with soft cushions, and Jiang Yunfeng lived in this patchwork hard bed.

"Wake up, it's dawn!" A loud roar and the crackling sound of slapping the iron cabinet sounded in his ears, and even Jiang Yunfeng, who was sleeping like a dead pig, was also resurrected in place. Anatoly urged him to get up quickly, removed the cover, opened the cupboard, hid the weapon in his arms in the reserved compartment, and turned back and urged, "Hurry up to the river, wash up, dress yourself up nicely, and we will soon enter the city." ”

Jiang Yunfeng truthfully conveyed the news to Fu Hua, who was still half-asleep and half-awake, and the monk Erina Nagi looked a little confused, and then the two realized that they had arrived in the suburbs of Mandalay, hurriedly lifted the thin blanket and turned over and jumped out of the hammock, picked up their respective toothbrushes and towels and trotted to the river to start washing.

The rising morning sun peeks out from the intersection of heaven and earth, and the morning light dispells the fog that condenses on the Irrawaddy River, and also shines on the city of Mandalay in the distance, where the towering temple spires reflect a dazzling golden light that contrasts with the white walls, reminding visitors that this is the land of Buddhism.

The group took to the road again, washing away the mud along the Irrawaddy River, and the domineering Paramount Marauders drove into the city through layers of inspections. Jiang Yunfeng followed the address of the hotel displayed on the tablet and signaled Uncle Billy, who was driving, to turn right at the intersection, but the latter turned to the left.

"Uncle, where are you going, the hotel we booked is on the right, are you too tired from driving?" Jiang Yunfeng pointed to the map on the tablet and said.

Uncle Billy glanced at the map and replied with a slight smile, "Return the hotel, I'll take you to a better place, it's no worse than the one you booked, and I'm also going to visit an old friend I haven't seen in years, Miss Nagi won't mind, right?" ”

"If a last-minute change of plans could reunite Mr. Billy with an old friend he hadn't seen in years, I wouldn't mind." Erina Nagi expressed her opinion very gently, after so many trips, she has been very clear about Uncle Billy's personality, although she has always been disrespectful to the old, but in her bones she is still affectionate and righteous, an honest and brave western cowboy.

Uncle Billy was relieved to get Erina Nagikiri's understanding, and was quickly covered up by the bohemianism of the western cowboy, and his eyes were still like a deep pool as always, but from his hand holding the steering wheel trembling slightly, Jiang Yunfeng could feel the excitement in his heart at the moment.

"Hey, hey, soap, did you go to visit an old friend and ask me for my opinion?" Anatoly in the co-pilot is gone, Uncle Billy's old friend is very likely to be an Anglokee if not an American, and will he suddenly appear in the once hostile camp and fight again as he did in Moscow.

"It's been all these years, there's nothing to worry about. Could it be ~ Yuri, are you cowardly? "Uncle Billy used the agitation method.

Anatoly obviously won't be easily fooled, "Don't think that a few words of understatement can stimulate me, if it were so easy to get caught, I would have died in Afghanistan a long time ago, since you are so expecting it, I'll go and see what kind of three-headed and six-armed monster it is." ”

Uncle Billy didn't continue to provoke but concentrated on driving, and soon the massive body of the Paramount Marauder left the relatively spacious New Town of Mandalay and entered the narrow old town, but he still managed to pass the obstacles smoothly under his skillful driving, and finally stopped at the door of a three-story wooden building built on the water.

Jiang Yunfeng, who jumped out of the car, looked up at the wooden building in front of him, the light gauze curtains of the open door moving with the wind, the simplicity of the decoration revealed the elegance, the owner of this homestay must be a person who understands life very well.

Taking a deep breath and stabilizing his mood, Uncle Billy tilted his head and made a follow-me-a-follow expression, and instead of ringing the electric bell on the counter, he did not turn to go up the stairs, but went straight through the corridor to the terrace behind the hotel that had been driven into the river with large wooden stakes.

The expansive terrace is lined with tables and chairs, apparently for guests staying at the guesthouse to enjoy the riverside scenery over a cup of tea. At one of the tables, there was a man with his back to everyone reading the news on his phone, but instead of picking up the table's teacup and taking a sip.

Uncle Billy didn't speak, just stared at the man quietly, seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Yunfeng and the others were not good at making a sound, so everyone kept quiet, and the atmosphere became a little embarrassed, and finally the man broke the silence, he turned off the mobile phone screen and raised it to observe the situation behind him with reflection, Jiang Yunfeng also saw the man's half old face through the reflection of the mobile phone screen.

"I'll tell you why I've been restless for the last few days, especially when I wake up this morning, my eyelids are jumping, which is a sign that some great people are coming. I didn't expect it to be you, John. McTavish. The man stood up and turned to face the group, stroking the large skull ring on his hand.

Uncle Billy smiled faintly and responded, "Isn't it a surprise?" What should I call you by that name? Nicknamed Barney. Ross is still his real name John. Rambo? ”
