Chapter 9: New Mandates
Chapter IX New Commission
Outside the arsenal, the helicopter's rotors whipped up a strong wind and slowly landed on the ground.
……
"Interesting, our guests are here in helicopter gunships." Joe glanced out.
"Click."
Except for Zack, everyone lifted the guns around them at the same time.
The cowboy made a gesture to signal everyone to be calm.
……
The sound of the helicopter breaking through the air slowly subsided, and three people jumped out of the cabin.
All three were dressed in black suits, the difference was that the man in the lead, a bald man who looked slightly older than the two behind him, jumped off the plane with a pink doughnut in his mouth, took off his sunglasses from his face and put them in the inner pocket of his clothes, turned around and gestured to the pilot and walked straight towards the arsenal.
Rowe sat on the front hood of Chris's pickup truck, and he looked at the three strangers who were walking this way, and gave Zach a look.
Zach nodded, and without a trace, he raised his hand to the glasses on his face.
He turned his head to look at the three men outside the arsenal, and in his view, the lenses narrowed and focused on the bald man eating the doughnut, locking on his face.
At this time, the screen of his laptop in hand began to analyze the facial structure of the identified target, and began to search frantically in the database.
Unexpectedly, however, his window eventually pops up with a "no search results" prompt.
"Huh?"
Zach spread his hands to Law in confusion.
……
"Ha, cowboy! Long time no see! ”
The bald head ignored the others and walked directly to the cowboy and shook his hand very politely.
"You don't have a good memory, I just met last week." Cowboy said with a squint.
"I have a good memory, don't look at my age."
The bald head shoved the last bite of the doughnut into his mouth, looked around, but found that there was not even a chair here, so he took matters into his own hands to clear a place on the table full of guns and ammunition, and sat directly on the table.
"With all due respect, you're going to have to get some care about the hygiene here."
He noticed that after cleaning the table, there was a lot of dust stuck to his cuffs.
"I'm going to have to hire a few cleaners." The cowboy nodded approvingly.
"So, this is your team?" The bald head looked around and glanced at everyone.
"Okay, brothers, this is Mr. Harvey, Harvey, these are my teammates." The cowboy gave a perfunctory introduction to both sides.
……
"Uh...... Hi! The bald Harvey beckoned to everyone.
The response of everyone to him was only to raise their eyelids and glance at him, and they didn't even say a word to chatter Qiao.
"Don't worry, they're just a little xenophobic." Cowboy said.
"Well, you can see it."
……
The two bad sidekicks each stood in two positions, just splitting everyone into two parts.
The two of them also behaved casually, and they didn't just stand upright with their hands behind their backs.
One of them happened to be standing next to Chris's pickup, he looked at Luo, who was sitting on the hood of the car with his head down and wiping the gun oil, and said lightly: "The gun is good." ”
Luo didn't look up at him, still lowered his head to wipe the new pistol in his hand, and only responded:
"Sunglasses are good."
The attendant helped the sunglasses on his face and stopped talking.
……
"Okay, let's get down to business." The bald Harvey said leisurely: "Last week, we had a word in advance, you help me clean up the wrecked plane, and I will pay three million, right." ”
"Yes, that's right."
"You see I have a good memory." Harvey pointed to his bald head and continued, "But what about the result?" ”
He pulls out a phone and puts it on the table.
The screen of the mobile phone shows the news report of the search and rescue team of a certain Southeast Asian country on that island today.
"This is the local news, if you don't understand it, I can translate it for you."
"Not really." Cowboy waved his hand and said, "The search and rescue team found a total of four bodies, right?" ”
"Correct." Harvey clapped his hands, "I wonder, why?" ”
"Where's the other guy?"
"Huh?"
……
Cowboy nodded and said, "Wait a minute." ”
He also took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket, clicked on a video and put it on the table.
"Take a look at this."
The screen of the mobile phone shows the footage that Luo and their night vision devices have taken on the island.
"This is what my team encountered on the island, you can't be talking about it, right?"
Harvey picked up his phone and watched the video carefully, then slowly put the phone back in place, touching his chin and not knowing what he was thinking.
……
"It's very interesting, which horror movie did you take this from?"
The cowboy didn't speak, just looked at Harvey with a faint smile.
The atmosphere inside the arsenal became somewhat subtle.
The cowboy was waiting for the bald Harvey to respond, and so were the others.
If Harvey had come to ask the Teacher, then I'm sorry, they'd have taken the doctor's arm as well, and it's not the first time they've killed a client anyway.
After about a minute of silence.
Harvey chuckled dryly and nodded.
"I see."
"Well, the responsibility for the affairs on the island is mine, in fact, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, after all, according to my calculations, the test subject should still be a human ...... within five days" He seemed to realize that his mouth was about to speak, and quickly stopped, took out a card and put it in front of the cowboy, "This is the commission money, there are a total of five million in the card, and the extra ones should be my apologies to your injured team members." ”
"In addition to this, Harvey has a small request......"
"I hope you can forget about this thing as much as possible, and what happened on the island, how about it?"
Harvey said, pointing to the monster on the screen of the cowboy's phone.
His change of attitude can be described as quite sincere, but the cowboy is aware of another problem.
"How did you know one of our team members was injured?"
"Harvey has his own Harvey method." Harvey grinned, "Off topic, I'm not here today to dwell on the matter of the last commission with you." ”
"I know, you're here to deliver money."
"You're right, I'm here to deliver money." Harvey smiled and said, "I have a new commission to help me solve this trouble......
Harvey held out a finger.
"Ten million."
"You're really here to give money." The cowboy laughed.
"yes, hahahahaha." Harvey laughed too.
……
"But I'm sorry, but we're on vacation and don't accept any commissions."
The cowboy turned his tune.
The laughter between the two came to an abrupt end.
Harvey touched his bald head, and he beckoned to his henchman behind him.
The man walked up and handed him a doughnut.
Tearing open the box, Harvey ate it to himself.
It almost took three or two bites to swallow the whole doughnut.
"Did you know that food needs to be savored?" Cowboy said lightly.
"I know that when I'm in a bad mood, I want to eat, and when I'm in a bad mood, I can't taste food, you know." Harvey shook his head.
"Yes."
"Do you know why I'm in a bad mood?"
"Hmm......" Cowboy stroked his beard, pretending to think, "because I turned down your commission?" ”
"Yes!"
Harvey slapped the table hard, his expression suddenly became very hideous, and his face was bruised!
Due to the shock, the bullets scattered on the table actually bounced up to a dozen centimeters high!
"Wow." The cowboy raised an eyebrow and took a step back.
Almost at the same moment, everyone was ready to move, but a gesture from the cowboy made everyone stop what they were doing.
……
You must know that the table top where Harvey is sitting is pure metal......
"You're in good shape." Cowboy said calmly.
"Thank you." Harvey rubbed his forehead, slowly calmed down, and said, "I'm very sorry, I was a little too excited just now." ”
"It's okay."
"I want you to understand, Cowboy, I know your team is strong, almost one of the best in the industry, and these brothers of yours are killing machines." Harvey said.
"Except, of course, for him."
"Huh?" Zach, who was engrossed in his computer, looked up and saw Harvey pointing at him, looking inexplicable.
However, Harvey did not bother with Zach, and he continued to say bitterly to the cowboy:
"I hope you understand that it's not that I can't do what I've entrusted you to do, but that I can't do it myself for various reasons, you know?"
"Of course, you don't want to expose yourself." Cowboy nodded.
"Yes! That's it! ”
"But I won't take this commission." Cowboy still shook his head, "Listen, I don't know what force you come from, whether it's the gangsters or the government, but I don't think it will end too well with you, you should give up, 10 million is indeed a lot, and there will be many other teams willing to do it." ”
"No, no, no, you still don't understand, I said that I'm not incapable of doing this, and this sentence means that we are far stronger than you." Harvey said with a smile, the expression on his face becoming more and more hideous, "Even if some of you are the top killers, I can easily erase you from this world. ”
"Oh~" Cowboy nodded, "I can understand you very well when you say that." ”
"Ding."
He turned on his lighter and lit a cigarette.
After taking a sip, he said with a smile:
"Try it."
"Whew!!"
It's just a moment.
Chris's muzzle was against Harvey's bald head.
The crocodile grinned and put his hand on the shoulder of a suit-clinger, his big golden-backed toothpick sticking to the man's artery.
And the pistol in Luo's hand, which had been wiped for a long time, was also against the temple of the man wearing sunglasses next to him.
In addition to this, outside the arsenal.
The pilot in the gunship found a strange man with dreadlocks sitting in his co-pilot seat at some point, but he didn't dare to say anything because the muzzle of the gun was pointed at him.
Only Zach was still holding his notebook, and after watching the crowd look at the tension, he shifted his position and ran to a safer corner.
……
Cowboy shook the cigarette case in his hand and asked Harvey, "Do you smoke it?" ”
"No, smoking is not good for your health." Harvey glanced back at Chris, who was pointing a gun at him.
"Eating too many sweets is not good for your health." Cowboy said.
"You think a gun will do me?" Harvey asked.
"That's enough." Chris bit down on his cigar and said lightly.
"If a gun isn't enough." Cowboy puffed out a puff of smoke, "Your tie seems crooked, Mr. Harvey." ”
"Oh?"
Harvey looked down at his chest and saw a red dot on his heart.
"yes, I almost forgot, you still have a sniper."
……
In the wilderness beyond the arsenal, a bearded man hides in the jungle, his sniper scope's crosshair pointed at Harvey.
……
This man is the club's sniper, Luke.
