Compared with the island paradise of the Maldives, which is advertised by the tourism industry, the Seychelles is more pristine, and of course, the development of the Seychelles is also accelerating after the Maldives has been brushed off.

The management team hired by the Seychelles government with high salaries is quite capable, and this speed has been slowed down by the high level of tourism spending.

When Xia Ming and his entourage of seven came to La Fons Island in the Seychelles in mid-March, they immediately experienced the feeling of spending money like water. From a small airport to a villa-style hotel, a half-kilometer journey of people, luggage and checked goods costs $200.

Looking at the "doorman tip of 2 US dollars or 10 Chinese yuan" sign written in several Chinese at the door of the hotel, and then seeing that the waiter who carried the luggage in the hotel was also reaching out to Xia Ming, He Xinghui and Hu Jun smacked their tongues one after another. But they don't have to pay a penny, and they just sigh.

In addition to Xia Ming, Lin Cheng, Xiaotang and Xiao Huan, the four "new humans" who already have QNI, there are also Liluo, who has already settled into the house, and He Hu and the two are also scheduled to develop "downline", after all, they are in direct contact with Qianyan, and it is impossible to avoid them in everything, and bringing them on vacation can be regarded as deepening their relationship.

"What a blue sky! What a green sea! ”

Xiao Huan shouted excitedly, seeing her happy appearance, thinking that she was just looking at things through electronic eyes, Xia Ming couldn't bear to remind her that it was just a lagoon......

The things to be salvaged are more than 40 kilometers west of La Fons Island, and the deep-diving mother ship will not arrive until the day after tomorrow, so everyone has more free time to move around.

However, Xia Ming and Lin Cheng were not included, Lin Cheng had to assemble the XGPA that had been disassembled and brought over, while Xia Ming went to meet with Metz and the security advisor he had hired to discuss the details of the operation.

Metz is indeed a handsome guy, with blond hair and blue eyes, fine skin, and a chin that does not have the green stubble that is common to Westerners. This is also the reason why Xia Ming didn't let Xiaotang follow, well. If you can miss one contact, it counts as one......

"Boss!"

As soon as they met, Metz emphasized his status in Chinese, and he is indeed working for Xia Ming now.

"This is Jonathan Anson, a security contractor for Frontier Services, a former Navy SEAL."

Metz introduced a sturdy middle-aged man beside him to Xia Ming, "Frontier service is FSG, Jonathan used to be the backbone of Blackwater, boss, if you know Blackwater......"

Xia Ming smiled slightly, of course he knew.

Eric Prince, the chairman of Frontier Services, is the founder of Blackwater, but Prince is now owned by Huaxia. FSG Services focuses on providing safety training and services for Huaxia's various activities in Africa, and its third largest shareholder is a Huaxia state-owned enterprise.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want Shang Weidong to know too much, Xia Ming could have contacted FSG directly through him. It is even possible to find Prince directly.

"Blackwater was sacrificed by a weak U.S. government! We may have made some mistakes in Iraq, but we never failed to live up to the wages our employers paid us! ”

Anson's voice was very loud, Xia Ming speculated that this guy used to be a sergeant major, and Anson's words, Xia Ming felt that he could still believe seven or eight points.

Blackwater's rise in just a few years is not only due to Prince's connections and expertise, but more importantly, to credibility. From a money-eyed "mercenary" to a trustworthy "security contractor", Blackwater has contributed greatly to this transformation.

But there is no Blackwater anymore. As Anson put it, it was a victim of the U.S. government's staggering in Iraq. Anson is not now an employee of Frontier Services, but an independent "security contractor", to put it bluntly, a mercenary contractor. But there is a Prince relationship. He only took the work of Xianfeng's service, and his reputation and ability were much stronger than that of ordinary contractors.

Xia Ming is very interested in this industry, and Frontier Services has also inspired him, maybe this kind of "company army" will be needed in the future. There is some insight from Anson's side.

"There were thirteen young men with me, and they brought a helicopter. There are no blacks, no Arabs, only whites, reds and yellows. Yes, there are three Huaxia people like you, who I specially selected for this operation......"

Anson was unabashedly revealing his racialistic tendencies, and if it was only aimed at blacks and Arabs, Xia Ming felt that there was nothing unacceptable.

But the next words made him uncomfortable: "They are as young as you, but you are very lacking in exercise, and you can't beat one of them with three." ”

"Then I'll rest assured, I believe you won't live up to my $1.5 million", Xia Ming had no choice but to find his identity back.

Anson squinted and smiled, "You have the final say, boss!" ”

This price is really attractive, otherwise Anson would not have gone into battle in person, and after getting this order, not to mention him, the guys below can rest comfortably for a whole year.

Anson took Xia Ming to "review" his team and equipment, thirteen people, including helicopter pilots, snipers and military doctors, each of them had long and short guns and a full set of body armor, all of which were purchased by themselves, and there were various models. There is also a Bell 412 helicopter, small and small, but very reliable.

This team is enough to guard against the general situation, if Lao Hong is wearing XGPA, these guys who only hold small arms will all become meat targets.

The attitude of these people is not very respectful, and Xia Ming doesn't care, after all, they are just employers, and they just need to do their duty. Although he hates business very much, as long as he doesn't go to extremes, he still thinks that business relations between people are the least bad, and there will be no coercive personality oppression.

Xia Ming and Anson finalized the details of the security plan, the security of the hotel and the beach today and tomorrow, and the security of the diving ship starting the day after tomorrow, Anson needs to make a plan, and Xia Ming will make the decision.

After finishing these, Xia Ming introduced them to the objects that needed to be defended one by one, except for Lin Cheng, everyone else was resting on the beach. When the gang saw the three girls through the binoculars, they all whistled.

"Whoever shows that bitch expression again, I'll cut someone's egg!"

Anson noticed Xia Ming frowning and scolded harshly, and the guys were fooled with a playful smile and a "Yesir".

Xia Ming didn't care too much, but he had already doubted the idea of forming a "company army", no matter how capable and credible a mercenary was, he was only a mercenary after all.

It's already evening, and the beach at dusk is also beautiful. Everyone also stayed on the beach and enjoyed the hotel's dedicated beach barbecue service.

Lin Cheng, who was so tired that he had a thirst for a dead dog, almost swept away the things on the barbecue grill, so angry that Xiao Huan and Liluo squeaked and screamed, kicked the sand and threw the ball, and had a good time.

Xiaotang quietly leaned on the beach chair and watched the sea, Xia Ming leaned over and said regretfully, "Only tomorrow will provide special services for ladies." ”

Xiaotang sneered: "I don't want to show swimsuit lines on my body......"

Looking at her fair and crystalline skin, Xia Ming swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't want to either." ”

Xiaotang glanced at him and pointed at Xiao Huan: "If you really don't want to." Serve Xiao Huan tomorrow, I don't have any meat on my body, and I don't feel anything when I wipe it. ”

Then she slapped away Xia Ming's hand that was quietly stretched out to her lap: "Xiao Huan is here, accompany her well." ”

[How do you feel that you are consciously pushing me towards Xiao Huan? ] 】

Xia Ming couldn't help but give her a pop-up window on the God Chat.

[I don't push, she stares at you with those big eyes, will you not go? ] 】

[uh...... Yes, but not like that. 】

[Since it's not, what am I worried about?] 】

[You won...... The Tsundere Queen. 】

Xia Ming got up, and was slapped by Xiaotang at his feet. Pounced on the sand and ate a meal of sand. Hearing her laughter behind him, he smiled bitterly and then happily.

Sure enough, I still admit it......

Xiao Huan hugged his arm and shouted, "Ah Ming! Watch the sea with me! ”

The full benefits of only a thin layer of cloth made him secretly gasp: "Hey, what else can you see if you take off your electronic eyes?" ”

"Turn your perspective to me. I'm going to use your eyes! ”

"Okay, I'm your eyes."

Looking at the figures of the two clinging to each other, Xiaotang paused for a moment and covered his face with a straw hat.

A beach holiday of less than two days is over quickly. Xia Ming still got what he wanted, and provided Xiaotang and Xiaohuan with a special service of applying sunscreen, and took it with him and enjoyed a handful of Liluo's skin.

Lillo was forced to get into this service. After wiping his back, he didn't even care about the strap of his shirt as if he was provocative, and turned over directly to ask Xia Ming to continue, but Xia Ming had no choice but to flee.

On the third day, the group took a dinghy and transferred to the deep-diving mother ship, Xia Ming packed the XGPA in a box and transported it to the ship by helicopter in the name of scientific research instruments.

"It's the first time I've fished for something at a depth of 5,000 meters. But don't worry, Haidilao things, the most troublesome thing is positioning, there is data now, as long as there is no big error, the next thing is very fast. ”

After discussing the details of the operation, the captain felt that this trip was not difficult, and the coordinate data given by Xia Ming was very fine, but he didn't know what that thing looked like.

Although this is very strange, the captain is paid to work, and he is introduced by his own people, as long as he does not fish for nuclear warheads that may leak, or other dangerous things, he will not care.

In the afternoon, the deep-diving mother ship came directly above the salvage object, first used sonar to do a rough scan and analysis, and if the coordinate data was not a problem, then put the deep-diving submersible for further observation, and finally formulated a salvage plan.

"The homologs are no longer sending contact signals, and it is impossible to confirm the exact situation."

Xia Ming originally thought that if he was so close, he should have sensed the suspected "anchor mark", but he didn't feel anything, he asked R3AI, and got such an answer.

Now R3AI often responds to some of his questions, but they are only limited to details, and he needs to ask the right questions to get some useful information. Questions such as "what is the specific indicator of consciousness activity" and "where is the signal from the anchor" still do not get answers.

However, R3AI gave him a vague hint about consciousness activity, and his current consciousness activity is above 0.8, and if it exceeds 1.0, he may be able to figure out what this indicator means.

Xia Ming guessed that this was probably the reason why R3AI would determine that he had the qualification of "subject", but he did not have the power of "subject". When fighting R3AI's formatting, he linked the consciousness of the other five people, and at that time, maybe the consciousness activity had exceeded 1.0.

It's just a pity that he can't reproduce the previous link, unless he falls into a crisis of consciousness similar to formatting.

Anson suddenly said on the intercom: "Boss, we have a company......"

Xia Ming raised his binoculars and looked in the southwest direction indicated by Anson, about three or four kilometers away, three speedboats were rapidly approaching this side.

At this point in time, the pinching is really accurate......

Xia Ming reminded Anson: "Attention, it may not be an ordinary pirate, be prepared for battle." ”

Anson is foreshadowing the price increase in the future: "Boss, your enemy is not small......"

His guess was very American: "To accurately grasp our whereabouts, reconnaissance satellites are the most convenient, plus pirates from Madagascar, boss, you won't mess with the CIA, right?" (To be continued.) )
