272. Arrived in Mexico
Over North America, a plane flew by.
At this time, on this plane, Yan Xiuze and Minglang were sitting side by side in two seats next to each other, Minglang was holding an electronic tablet inside and sliding the screen, not knowing what he was watching; Yan Xiuze, on the other hand, was holding a book in the seat on the outside, reading it with relish.
At this time, Minglang, who was originally fiddling with the electronic tablet, raised his head, looked at the small TV on the plane, and said: "There is still more than an hour to reach Mexico City, and then transfer trains, about another four hours or so, you can reach the destination of this trip, T City." ”
"Got it." Yan Xiuze was still concentrating on flipping through the book, and replied without raising his head: "You can arrange the route, and I will only be responsible for the part that needs to be solved violently." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, there will not be too many links that need to be solved violently this time." Ming Lang sneered, and then slid the screen of the electronic tablet: "I'll repeat this mission again - this is a protection mission, the object of protection is a thirty-six-year-old Mexican male named Santos, and the mission goal is very simple, that is, to protect him for a month." ”
"It doesn't sound too complicated." Yan Xiuze was still reading the book with relish and replied casually.
"That's right, that's right...... It does sound like a simple and straightforward task. Minglang said slowly: "But this task is priced at a full two million dollars on the dark web!" Don't you think there's a problem? ”
"Since you said that, you must have found the problem, so can you get straight to the point?"
"Well, I'll make it clear, the reason why this man named Santos hired us to protect him for a month is actually very simple, that is, he is the new mayor of T City, and this time he is going to take office."
At this time, Yan Xiuze slowly closed the book in his hand, glanced at Minglang with some confusion, and asked, "Wait a while, I didn't understand too much...... Why do you want to be a mayor and hire bodyguards? ”
Minglang sneered again: "Because this is Mexico." ”
"In just the last decade, hundreds of mayors have been assassinated in Mexico, not to mention other government officials, and it is said that the shortest one was a female mayor who was killed within 14 hours of taking office, and serving as a mayor in Mexico — especially a mayor who wants to do something practical — is a proper high-risk industry."
"No, but why? This is weird, isn't it......" Yan Xiuze's face still had an inexplicable look on his face: "Assassination of the mayor? Isn't this a provocation to the Mexican government? Who would dare to do such a thing? ”
"Of course it's a drug dealer...... Minglang said lazily: "The rampant extent of all kinds of drugs in Mexico is unimaginable, and the big drug lords who are rampant in Mexico are not one or two, and even the equipment in their hands can completely compete with the army...... And that's what I've said before – there's not a lot of violence going on. ”
"I don't know how many mayors who wanted to clean up drug gangs have been quietly killed, but now the incumbent mayors are either playing dead or simply being bought, and few people dare to challenge the authority of drug traffickers in Mexico...... They're a bunch of lunatics that even the president of Mexico would dare to threaten. ”
"Well, it's kind of hard to imagine." Yan Xiuze shrugged his shoulders, for him who grew up in a country with relatively good security, this kind of magical realism plot has only been seen in some steampunk background single-player games.
"So we're going to Mexico to fight the drug lords this time?"
"What does your relaxed tone mean?" Minglang narrowed his eyes and said with deep meaning: "This trip may not be too smooth." ”
"Really? What about drug dealers? I still catch less in Huaxia? Yan Xiuze is very confident in his strength.
"I advise you not to feel too good about yourself." At this time, Minglang poured cold water on him in a timely manner: "Drug dealers in Mexico are not the kind of weak chickens in China who can be rated as a 'large criminal gang' with two small broken pistols......"
"Since you know this trip is so dangerous, why do you have to come with me?"
"Mainly, I also want to go to Mexico to see, the opportunity is rare, and it is safer to have you by your side than to go by myself." Minglang said.
"I don't even want my life to see the world?"
"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think." The corners of Minglang's mouth curled slightly: "Before leaving, I had a lot of good things with Qi Zhao......"
"By the way......" Minglang looked at the book Yan Xiuze put on his lap again: "I saw that you were reading this book from the terminal, but after getting on the plane, I read it all the way...... What is it that makes it so engaging? ”
Yan Xiuze raised the book in his hand, pointed the cover side at Minglang, and shook it: "Look for yourself." ”
Minglang leaned over, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Introduction to Spanish? ”
"The official language of Mexico is Spanish, so it never hurts to learn it."
The corners of Minglang's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "That, let me ask, when did you start reading this book?" ”
"Started last night."
"Is it useful for you to be cramming like this?"
How do you know that Yan Xiuze shook his head: "It's better than not learning at all." ”
"Besides...... Forget it, you'll understand later. ”
An hour later, the plane landed in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.
Walking out of the airport, Ming Lang and Yan Xiuze quickly found a car, which they had to take for more than four hours to reach the final destination of the trip, T City.
The driver, a thin-faced, mustachioed Mexican man in his forties, spoke broken English, spoke clearly and with great difficulty, and it took a long time to get on the bus to T City.
By the time Ming Lang and Yan Xiuze got into the van, there were already two men in the car, and it seemed that they should be local Mexicans.
Yan Xiuze and Minglang sat in the seats in the last row of the car without saying a word, because of the slight language barrier, the two simply stopped communicating with the three men in front of them, but played with their mobile phones, after all, as long as they could send them to T City smoothly, the rest would be fine.
The two Mexican men in front of him, who seemed to be quite familiar with the driver, were chatting hotly in Spanish, while Yan Xiuze and Minglang, who were sitting in the back seat, were also chatting in Chinese at this time.
"The map shows that we'll be out of Mexico City in half an hour." Minglang fiddled with the electronic tablet in front of him and said: "After leaving the Mexican capital, you have to cheer up, especially in rural areas, which are not peaceful. ”
"Are you sure we're safe in Mexico City?" Yan Xiuze pushed the frame of his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and lazily reclined on the seat.
"What do you mean by that?" Minglang frowned.
"Remember the question you asked on the plane? Now I can answer you - cramming is not useless. Yan Xiuze said lightly: "The three men in front of me are discussing unscrupulously in Spanish at this time where to dump us in the wilderness......
"Our ......"
"It's a black car."
