"Someone."

Not to mention Jing Thorn who had trained his body to its physiological limit, even Zhu Shijiu spotted several civilians on the ground wearing tattered clothes and dragging large and small suitcases who were waving at the helicopter.

"The Papua New Guinea military is really crude. There are still people in this area, but they actually reported it as an empty zone."

"Go down and pick them up." Thorn's decision was simple and clear.

Since there are only four refugees here, they can use helicopters to pick them up. But if there are still a large number of refugees who have not been evacuated, then Thorn and his men will notify the military to continue sending delivery trucks to pick them up.

The robbers were delighted to see the helicopter really coming down towards them.

However, the scarred man in the lead said to the brothers behind him: "The only ones who can still have a helicopter at this time are the authorities. We must not reveal that we looted this money from other people's houses! Do you understand?"

The three younger brothers behind him nodded quickly: "Got it! Got it!"

Before the boss could give a few instructions, the helicopter landed on the ground. The huge noise from the propeller made it impossible for them to hear the shouts of Jing Ji and Zhu Shijiu. They were terrified at just one look - sitting on the helicopter were two fully armed soldiers!

It was like a mouse meeting a cat. They were already guilty of their crimes and not very courageous. They were frightened all of a sudden and didn't dare to move forward for a while.

Zhu Shijiu thought that these people were afraid of their weapons, so he put down his guns, waved at them, and signaled them to come up.

"Let's go. Just don't get discovered." The boss took a deep breath and said to the younger brothers behind him.

The younger brothers nodded repeatedly, and then followed the boss dragging the suitcase.

But as they were about to board the helicopter, Thorn stopped them and asked in the local Pidgin language: "What's in the suitcase?"

The robbers froze immediately.

"Inside... inside are... clothes, food, and some daily necessities." The leader said quickly.

Of course, Thorn would not trust the robbers so easily, and simply ordered: "Open it."

The robbers stopped moving.

Zhu Shijiu was puzzled. He didn't understand Pi Jinyu, but he roughly understood the meaning. He asked, "Do we still need to check at this time? It's better not to waste time if we can."

Jingzhi glanced at Zhu Shijiu and said calmly, "Remember, no matter what time it is, never lose your vigilance. What if there are bombs in here? What if these refugees are assassins of other hostile organizations disguised as refugees? There are many possibilities, and we have to be prepared."

"Moreover, this is not necessarily a waste of time, because if we confirm that their suitcases are filled with useless things, then we can let them throw away the suitcases, and then we may be able to carry a few more people on our helicopters."

Learned…

Zhu Shijiu was thoughtful. Many times, seemingly useless operations actually contain deep thoughts.

Then he also looked at the four refugees and motioned for them to open their suitcases.

The robbers were panicked now.

What do these two soldiers mean? After a long conversation, they were asked to open the suitcases. Did they mean that their actions had been discovered? What would happen after opening the suitcases? After seeing the money, would these two soldiers want to keep it for themselves and shoot them

The robbers' malnourished and sallow faces now looked somewhat pale.

"Open it." Thorn noticed their hesitation and pointed his gun at them. "You'd better not make me repeat it for the third time."

The robbers had no choice but to open the suitcases.

The moment the suitcase was opened, banknotes flew out wildly along with the air flow stirred by the helicopter propeller. For a moment, it was like a storm of banknotes, and the large amount of banknotes in the suitcase flew everywhere!

Zhu Shijiu was startled, but Jingzhi didn't react at all.

The robbers felt very distressed when they saw the banknotes they had worked so hard to collect flying everywhere. They only opened the suitcase for a second and then quickly closed it.

"Money?" Thorn asked, "Didn't you just say that it was filled with clothes, food, and some daily necessities? How come it's filled with money?"

"Commander! It is a universal truth that wealth should not be shown to others. Moreover, this money can allow us to buy the clothes, food and daily necessities that I mentioned, so what I said is not wrong." The robber boss was still making excuses, and the younger brothers behind him nodded repeatedly, as if to say, "The boss is right."

Jingzhi stopped arguing with these people. After confirming what was in the suitcase, she said, "Throw away the suitcase and get up!"

The robbers were stunned.

What does it mean? Seeing so much money, they didn't even think about sharing a piece of the pie, but instead asked them to throw the suitcase away

"Sir..."

"Tomorrow, the entire island of Papua New Guinea will be destroyed by a meteorite, and the value of your local currency, the Kina, will drop significantly. The things in your suitcases may not be worth as much as the suitcases. What's the point of taking them? You might as well wait for the authorities to provide relief to you refugees."

"… "

After all this time, the money they had wasted so much time on was actually useless?! These robbers with low knowledge were dumbfounded and wanted to curse.

However, after Thorn explained everything, they knew they were safe, and the two soldiers did not realize that they were robbers who took advantage of the situation.

The robbers boarded the helicopter with peace of mind.

Zhu Shijiu made way for the robbers, and then heard Jingzhi say beside him: "These idiots got their money from other residents. They are robbers among the refugees."

Zhu Shijiu nodded: "I think so too."

Thorn said, "Tell me about it?"

"They were wearing ragged clothes, none of which were as clean as the suitcases. We could smell a foul odor, and it was obvious that they had not showered for a long time. Although it is possible that they were disguising themselves for safety, by observing their physical condition, we could tell that they were pale and thin, and had been in a state of malnutrition for a long time, which was a huge gap from the amount of money they carried in their suitcases."

Zhu Shijiu's analysis was flawless. It was an easy logic to understand. In fact, he had doubts the first time he saw them. Then, the money that flew out after they opened their suitcases made him certain that there was something fishy going on with these people.

Briar nodded.

Zhu Shijiu had a question: "Why not just let them throw the suitcase away? Wouldn't that be faster? That way there would be no need to check it."

"To confirm their identities. If their suitcases contain these things, then it's nothing. No matter how low-grade the garbage is, we still need to save it. But if their suitcases contain bombs or something like that, then we can regard them as enemies. If they are enemies, then we will kill them directly."

Some people need to be saved, while others don't even need to be saved.

In the eyes of the Black Soldier Organization, what they do is the right thing, and the enemies standing before them are no different from alien insects.
