By the time the mercenary's plane landed at the airport, everything on the island that was too nerve-stirring had already been moved or hidden. Humanoid machines, towering turrets, drone swarms...... All these surprising things have been silenced on the island for the time being.

As soon as they got off the plane, the mercenaries were taken to the island's indoor training hall, where they would wait to meet their employers. And this whole process was "escorted" by a whole team of soldiers.

The soldiers wore sunglasses and civilian clothes. Equipped with a stealthy shield generator. With a gunpowder lance that they hadn't used for a long time. Plays the role of a maintainer of order.

With the arrival of other planes in a short time, it is likely that these mercenaries, who have not yet figured out the situation, will have some "conflict" with each other. And the task of the soldiers at this time is to suppress the possible "conflict" before Shen Chao arrives.

After entering the indoor training ground, these mercenaries were immediately received by Sun Yang, who had already arrived, and several assistants, and when recruiting these veterans, he was the direct contact, so as soon as they heard that it was him, the mercenaries who arrived in the first team finally put their minds at ease.

"Mr. Sun, what's going on?" Didn't you say we'd go straight to the mission location to meet your boss, what kind of place is this? ”

An American mercenary from Seattle asked, who was a front-line special forces member a few years ago and had been having a hard time since his military career.

Because so much of his military file was sealed and he couldn't put it on his resume, he couldn't mix up a well-paid military adviser in the private sector like some other veterans.

Originally, after signing this contract a few days ago, he thought that he had come to work and finally met an employer who appreciated him. As a result, on the plane that had just come, he dismissed this idea.

Because there were several people on the plane that he knew, and even two of his old comrades-in-arms. After further exchanges, he and a few friends discovered that the dozens of people on their plane were former members of the US special operations forces.

Seals, Delta, and Air Special are all available. This situation shocked everyone, because after a few side knocks, they found out that they all had a history of overseas operations.

Of course. Because the file has not been unsealed, no one on the plane has pointed out that they are specifically playing black ops during their service. But the implication is clear, they can all be considered "elite" members of the military when they serve.

And as the plane took off, their GPS and mobile phones were out of service. They also questioned the guy who led the team, and even drew a gun and threatened, but to no avail. The two pilots in the cockpit ignored them. Until now.

"Don't be in a hurry. Guys, there are a lot of other people who haven't arrived, you guys take a break, wait a minute, and the boss will be here in a few hours. ”

Sun Yang replied politely while wiping his cold sweat. Many of the mercenaries he was responsible for recruiting in front of him were carrying guns. And when he was asked, he was also murderous.

Under this kind of stimulation, he could only persuade the grumpy mercenaries in front of him over and over again to wait patiently.

For the sake of the well-paid contract they all signed, this team of mercenaries didn't have anyone to trouble him, and they all put away their weapons and waited patiently. At least for now.

While waiting. The group of mercenaries could only stand and chat here, waiting for the others to appear. Ten minutes later, with the appearance of the second team of mercenaries from Northern Europe, their communication circle also expanded a little.

The composition of this group of mercenaries is more complicated, the French. Germans, British, Norwegians. But there were not many of them, only a third of the number of mercenaries from the United States of the previous team.

Judging by their numbers, it looks as if their co-employer wants to hire a translation team. As for how do these people who don't speak their native language communicate?

Of course, it's the same as ordinary people. Find a language that you can understand together, then talk to each other, and then get useful information from each other.

After all, the elites who can appear here are all military personnel from various countries who have participated in overseas operations, how can they go abroad to shoot other people's bricks if they don't know a few foreign languages?

So, I learned English, French, and German...... They were all surprised to find that the new team was also a peer.

Not only are they all veterans, but more importantly, they all participated in overseas operations during their service, except for those two Germans......

After another half hour, at the peak of their confusion, the third team entered the wide training hall. This time the crowd that arrived was not as small as the previous team.

The team was almost as numerous as the American and Nordic mercenaries combined, and they were immediately recognized. : "It's Russians! Several of the mercenaries confirmed it in their minds, and immediately put their hands on their holsters.

The Russian veterans on the other side also reflected the same thing, they reported to each other on the plane the numbers of their previous units, and had a small party with the drinks on the plane.

They are not as worried as their American counterparts. But as soon as they saw the Americans in front of them, they instinctively became vigilant.

A few seconds later, after the two groups of people came closer, suddenly, several of the two groups of people were nervous, and they saw acquaintances.

"It's them! One of the Russian bunch, a gray-haired veteran, shouted in his native language with a contorted face, and then suddenly drew his pistol.

The other men with guns around him did the same. The same is true of the "Euro-American bloc" opposite. Dozens of pistols came out of the set, and the two teams of people drew their guns and confronted each other. The atmosphere became extremely tense in an instant.

It turned out that the veteran who was the first to draw his gun found an enemy he had encountered in the past when he was operating overseas: an American soldier about his age.

Several soldiers who were on guard at the scene immediately intervened when they saw this, and they rushed to warn and pulled the two opposing groups into two corners. It took Sun Yang a lot of time to let the people of the two teams coexist peacefully for a while.

And this peaceful coexistence is also based on separating their two teams from a distance. The standoff reached its peak an hour later, when an equally large group of Chinese veterans arrived.

Three groups of 100 people gathered to guard the veterans from the other two districts from a distance. The reason is also very simple, many of them know each other.

The veterans of China, the United States, and Russia present not only knew each other, but also had the experience of cooperation or confrontation with each other overseas, and sometimes they would "exercise" together. There are also times when they will break the blood flow overseas. It's an "acquaintance".

For ordinary people, acquaintances are synonymous with trustworthiness and friends, but for these elite veterans, acquaintances in front of them can be a little far away from friends. Because they have the blood of some of the other's former comrades-in-arms on their hands.

The confrontation continued, finally. Three hours after the first mercenaries arrived, the last team of mercenaries from Africa finally arrived and were brought here.

At this time, there were already nearly 150 mercenaries and 7 employees of Star Energy in the spacious gymnasium. And after that, Shen Chao finally appeared.

Dressed in civilian clothes, he came with a few of his similarly unarmed teammates to inspect their mercenaries. As soon as Sun Yang saw him enter, he introduced their employer to the people who gathered in a few piles.

Under the gaze of the mercenaries, Shen Chao walked over, and then motioned for his agent to dodge away, giving up the position of the speaker to himself. Sun Yang immediately complied.

After Shen Chao stood in the middle of the field, he waved his hand to signal a few teams of people who were far away to come closer. Seeing his gestures, several groups of people remained vigilant against each other and slowly approached his position.

"Gentlemen, I know that you may well have all kinds of old grudges against each other, but today, you must exercise restraint, because I don't have time to deal with a shootout between employees, and if you want to kill each other, then terminate the contract, and you can talk about it after you leave......"

Shen Chao took out the contract they signed and reminded. Sure enough, as soon as he heard him say the contract, the hostility in the crowd decreased a lot, none of them were very wealthy people, otherwise they would not have accepted Shen Chao's high-paying employment.

Although veterans who have participated in actual combat can usually be arranged a decent job after retiring from the army, the people on the scene obviously do not belong to this group, they are a group of people who have been forgotten by their respective countries. All need the money for this contract.

"Very well, now we can get down to business. As you know, each of you has been gathered here because I have an important task that needs help," Shen Chao began to introduce.

"Excuse me, sir, may I ask a question?" After he said this, a middle-aged man in the crowd suddenly raised his hand and asked. Shen Chao has seen his profile, and it seems that he is a former major of the US Army.

"Just ask. ”

"Sir, are you going to hire us for a combat mission?" If so, then the contract we signed before is invalid? The gray-haired, somewhat balding middle-aged man asked more than 100 other people.

After seeing so many peers, none of them would believe that Shen Chao was just going to hire them to be responsible for the safety of several overseas construction sites. That kind of work doesn't require anyone of their level at all.

"Yes, I may need you to participate in combat operations. However, the contracts you signed are still valid, and if you do not want to participate in possible military operations, you can still choose to go to Syria to protect the sites mentioned in the contract. The contractual treatment will not change either. Shen Chao explained.

Hearing him say this, the mercenaries in front of them all breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that they would spend so much time to run in vain, since the original contract was still valid, they had a way out.

"What I am now offering you is the opportunity to change your contract and get ten times the previous reward for a single mission of the same duration. Anyone interested? Shen Chao further explained. (To be continued.) )
