Chapter 4: Hill Hills, the underground black market
"Hey, Miss Maina, long time no see. The man with the gun greeted, and by the way, he took the key from his pocket, and the iron gate opened with a bang.
"I'll talk to your boss Jace on the phone, take us to him!" said Mina, with her hands crossed over her chest.
The two men with guns looked around with wary eyes, and when they were sure that everything was normal, they led them towards the concrete building. The gray faΓ§ade is strewn with numerous bullet holes, large and small, as if deliberately pouring out that there was a fierce shootout here.
After chasing the dragon and following the man into the spacious building, he was greeted by rows of brand-new military off-road vehicles, each with a camouflage sprayed appearance, thick leather bags, and a pair of rugged and domineering headlights inlaid in front of the hood.
The placement of such a large number of military off-road vehicles makes the chasing dragon shine. I realized that this ordinary three-story building had been transformed into a place for the black market arms trade.
"Hi... I've been waiting for you for a long time, old friend. Chasing Dragon turned to look, a burly, muscular, half-faced, bearded man approached, and Chasing Dragon immediately guessed that this person was the leader of the arms trafficking here, Jace. Behind him stood five or six more men of great proportion, all armed with Arca rifles.
"Where did you get all these heavyweights?" Myna quipped.
"Ou... Oh my God, it took me a lot of effort to get this equipment, and you're saying it's worthless!" Jace said as he reached over the new paint and said with an exaggerated expression, clearly pleased with his gear.
"I didn't say they're worthless, isn't it as easy for you Jace to get your hands on the equipment in the government as it is to pick them up?"
"Okay...... Since we can't talk about Miss Maina, let's talk about the main topic, what weapon do you need this time?" asked Jace, leaning against the headlights of the SUV.
"Ask my friend behind me, he needs weapons!" Myna glanced sideways at the dragon.
"Hi buddy! My name is Jace, and I'm glad Miss Mina introduced you. I don't have all the weapons and equipment here, but I promise that I have all the weapons you can see on Vietnam's underground black market!" Jace smirked at the corner of his mouth.
"My name is Chasing Dragon! I hope this cooperation is enjoyable. β
"You're the famous Southeast Asian mercenary Chasing Dragon!" Jace was surprised. He was selling arms in the underground black market in Vietnam, and he had long heard anecdotes about the career of a mercenary chasing dragon, and at this time, this rumored "killing machine" stood in front of him, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart!
"Let's take a look at the weapons first. Chasing the dragon said.
"Follow me!" Jace led the way, followed by two men with guns.
Jace walked to the center of the hall and pressed the elevator button, and soon the elevator door opened, and everyone took the elevator to the first floor. The elevator door opened and passed through a wide walkway, and in front of him was a heavy iron door, and Jace reached out and turned the combination lock knob on the door several times.
Bang......
The iron door automatically moves to the left, revealing a bright and spacious basement. A series of shiny new guns were placed on display shelves, and finally dozens of large wooden boxes were piled up on the top of the wall. Apparently it was also full of weapons and ammunition.
Chasing Long couldn't help but be surprised when he saw so many dazzling weapons, and secretly said in his heart: "This is enough to arm a regiment-level military force!"
"If it weren't for Miss Maina being our old friend, I wouldn't have brought someone to the warehouse to trade. In addition, my customers are all over the world, as far as Somalia in Africa, and as close as the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia, so there is naturally no shortage of buyers. Today, since Mr. Chasing Dragon is here to take care of the business, please choose the weapon yourself. β
Jace is cunning, and on weekdays, customers come to buy weapons, and for the sake of insurance, they take samples out, and when they see Chasing Dragon mentioning that they want to see weapons and equipment, although they have concerns in their hearts, they don't want to offend this "killing machine".
Chasing the dragon walked to a row of display racks of British-made AWP sniper rifles, took them out and held them in his hands, and a familiar smell of metal engine oil came to his nose.
This is his former comrade-in-arms, and he vaguely remembers in his mind that in the Wa State region of Myanmar, he lurked alone in the complex mountainous jungle. It was with the AWP short-range sniper rifle in his hand that he fought with the Burmese drug lord organization for several days and nights, and finally eliminated all the drug lords to save Thea.
"Fancy this British-made AWP sniper rifle?" asked Mina.
"Although this AWP sniper rifle is lightweight, it has a range of about 600 meters, and it is inevitable that it will be short in the jungle of the Golden Triangle. "As a mercenary, he knows the performance of most semi-automatic weapons and equipment in the world.
Chasing the dragon turned around in front of the display stand, thinking that this Jace really didn't lie to himself, except for a few long-range sniper rifles, other weapons and ammunition that could be seen in the world could be bought here.
At the moment, an Arca 47 rifle and a Browning pistol, a military bayonet, several boxes of caliber bullets, a number of portable timed bombs and grenades, and a military bow and crossbow were selected.
Chasing the dragon glanced at the weapon of choice, and said in thought, "I also need a weapon that is very powerful, the kind that can allow me to deal with large trucks and helicopters." β
"Bazooka?" Jace said.
"Exactly, but the official name should be RPG portable launcher. Chasing the dragon explained.
"Haha...... Man, you're lucky, I just got a few of these last month, but they're powerful enough! boom ......" Jace made exaggerated movements with both hands, trying to imply that he had indeed seen the power of bazookas.
"Go...... Bring that bazooka over here, under that machine gun case. Jace commanded.
In a short time, two men with guns carried the box over. Chasing the dragon saw that the wooden box was printed with red paint, which was the word RPG.
"Quick...... Open it and let Mr. Chasing Dragon take a look! β
"No, this thing can't be faked, you can just deliver three more rounds of ammunition. That's all I need, pack it tightly and wait for me to ship it myself. "Chasing the dragon.
He thought that in the past, he could complete the mission with a sniper rifle, but now the enemy he had to face was too strong, and he had to prepare well and decided to fight against the water.
"Another one with the same weapons and equipment as him!" Mina said.
"You're going to rob a bank?" Jace laughed.
"You want to participate?"
β
It's a bit too much to do such a blatant thing, and I don't interfere with the river water with them, and this tacit understanding is very good!" Jace laughed.
Chasing Long knew that he could continue to sell arms and arms in peace, and he must have a good relationship with them.
"Miss Maina is so cheerful, let's talk about my first cooperation with Mr. Chasing Dragon, so let's do it! I'll give you both a piece of equipment at half price. β
Jace finished removing a large package from the wall, pulling out a dagger to cut open the thick plastic bag, and taking out a camouflage suit from inside. Chasing Long saw that this military uniform was slightly different from what he usually saw, the fabric was thick, there were small pockets on each side of the sleeve arms, two iron rings were hooked into the fabric sewing on the waist, there were several solid sponges on the chest, and the pants had several hidden pockets on the calf, which were obviously placed daggers.
"Is this a special operations suit?" Chasing Long wondered.
Although he had heard before that the special forces of each country were the best trained, and the weapons and clothing they were equipped with were custom-made, he had not worn them once. At this time, this set of special operations clothing was placed in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
"That's right! It is the combat clothing of the special forces of Western countries, and Mr. Chasing Long is quite visionary. I got it through a special relationship, and I hope you come back alive and continue to take care of my business next time. Jace laughed.
At that moment, he ordered his subordinates to pack all the weapons and ammunition that Chasing Dragon fancied into several wooden boxes.
"How many dollars?" asked Chasing Dragon, the equipment was worth a lot of money, and he asked empty-handed, just for Maina.
"Old friend...... $800,000!" Jace laughed. He knew that in addition to his own, this batch of equipment could not be bought with a lot of money in other underground arms markets in Vietnam.
"Okay! The fee is on Jomeison's head, and he'll call for it in the evening!" said Mina. She was hired by Jomaison to carry out a mission, and any expenses incurred during the mission were reimbursed by Jomaisen, and of course there was no need to save him money.
"Of course, no problem! Boss Joe is also a big customer of mine. Jace said.
On the mountain road back to Hill Hills, a black SUV was speeding on a bumpy road.
"Now just wait for Jo Maison to bring over the sniper rifle, and we can go!" said Chasing Dragon, looking out the window of the car at the shadows of the trees that were hurrying away.
"You want us to leave as soon as possible?"
Chasing Dragon didn't answer this question, he certainly hoped that the mission would start as soon as possible and end as soon as possible, so that the day of reunion with Thea would come sooner. But he can't guarantee that he will be on the mission as soon as possible, not sooner than the day when he will never be reunited with Thea!
