His chest was terribly badly wounded! It seemed that he had fallen from some height, and at least three ribs were broken! In addition, there is an obvious penetrating injury under the left shoulder! Obviously hit by bullets!
There were many small injuries on his body. The strangest thing was that I suddenly saw a tear in one of his trousers. When I lifted it up, I was shocked! This guy's calf is already swollen, and there is a slight bite wound mark clearly visible on the muscle!
It was obviously bitten by something like a snake, and I suspect it was poisonous, because the wound was blackened around the wound. But it seemed that he had used some herbal medicine to cover the wound, and there was still a strange paste on the wound, with plant fibers.
hell!
This guy had a few broken ribs, was shot on his body, had seven or eight small wounds, and was bitten by a poisonous snake on his leg... Even a person in good health, under such circumstances, would have fallen down a long time ago!
And in this state, in such a state where the body is close to collapse... This guy almost killed me three times in just a short moment!
Why is his skill so good? ! How powerful can this guy be when he is healthy?
I hesitated and made a decision.
I didn't call anyone in, I decided not to hand him over to Yunta's men. I moved him to the back of the suitcase, unscrewed a bottle of water, and poured it over his mouth.
He woke up once during the period and glanced at me with a sharp flash in his eyes at first, but then he saw that I was holding water, so he was relieved.
"Can you still move?"
He nodded.
I took a deep breath and said quickly, "Listen, I can help you. This plane will land in an hour, and there are a few trapped soldiers on the plane. When it lands, I will try to lure them away At that time, you can only rely on yourself to find a way to get out of the plane! Understand? I can help you distract these soldiers... Can you move?"
"I'll be able to move after a short rest." He answered me coldly.
…
I tidied up my clothes, made sure that I hadn't exposed any flaws, and then walked out of the cargo hold.
After returning to my seat, I said in Chinese: "Hammer."
"Fifth Brother?" Hammer immediately turned around.
"Listen, don't show your face!" I said to him in Chinese: "When you land in a while, you find a few brothers and entangle these black soldiers together, try to hold them back, understand my point mean?"
Although Hammer was surprised, he still nodded. He is very good at this point, as long as I explain things, he will execute them meticulously, and if I don't say a lot of things, he will never ask.
I dozed off in the chair, but my heart was a little nervous. Fortunately, the soldiers did not go to the cargo hold at the back during this period. Finally, the plane landed at the airport of another small country in East Africa that we had transited before.
When this dilapidated young fox transport plane lands, people are always on tenterhooks, for fear that it will hit the ground. After landing, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when I got off the plane, I immediately winked at the hammer.
The flight crew in the plane didn't move, but several soldiers sent by Yunta got off the plane and prepared to open another cargo compartment behind the cabin from the tail of the plane to help us unload our luggage.
At this time, Hammer, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately posted it with a few men. These people had already planned with Hammer on the plane, and they posted it. Some enthusiastically held the soldiers, and others immediately took out Cigarettes come.
Although they didn't understand the language, after a few packs of cigarettes, the soldiers were all smiling, and soon forgot about the cargo hold. At this time, the door of the cargo compartment has been opened...
The airport in this small East African country is also very dilapidated, but it is much more magnificent than the airport next to the mine of General Kunta.
Someone drove a luggage cart, took us out of the runway, and waited outside the airport.
When we left the airport, those soldiers stopped following us. When the luggage cart was unloading the luggage, I refused to let the people at the airport, but let my men do it themselves.
Those who accompanied me to the mine in Kunta, among them, who was dressed as my bodyguard, Ren Lei, had already contacted a vehicle to pick us up outside the airport.
After the luggage was moved, the black man who was hiding under the luggage jumped out. Everyone around was surprised. Only the hammer who was covering him just now saw him, but he didn't say anything.
"Get in the car first." I stopped the people around me from talking, and then let someone help the black killer into the car. He was seriously injured and did not refuse.
After getting in the car, I was really relieved. I'm playing with fire... If Kunta finds out that I housed his killer, it may have an impact on our relationship.
Arrived at the arranged residence, here... It can barely be regarded as a hotel. In these small countries in East Africa, the conditions can only make do. After we checked in, we found that this place is still very safe. The one who accompanied me all the way pretended to be my bodyguard People also left with their convoy. Before leaving, he told me that someone will contact us tomorrow morning.
The first floor of this small hotel was occupied by us, I immediately vacated the innermost room, and then had the black man checked.
He has passed out again. We didn't have a doctor, but then I sent Hammer and took someone out into the street to get some medicine.
After all, this small country is not the G country ruled by the Kunta. It is fairly stable here, and it is also a city, so Hammer finally bought some medicines and came back.
The black man finally woke up when I checked him personally. I feel like this guy is a beast...a wounded beast. Although he is very weak at the moment, the sharpness in his gaze is instinctive!
"Thank you." He glanced at me, and then saw the medicine beside him: "I'll do it myself."
"Can you?" I frowned.
"I've learned it." The black man didn't seem to like to talk too much, but then I saw him treating his wound, and I felt relieved. He seems to be very skilled in cleaning the wound and then bandaging it. Then I endured the pain and straightened my ribs. Finally, he looked at the wound on his calf and thought for a while: "Do you have a knife?"
"Yes." I took out the dagger and handed it to him.
Without saying a word, he sterilized the dagger, then glanced at me, and suddenly said, "Can you turn around?"
"Why?"
"Because I thought you might not like to look at this." He suddenly grinned, showing his white teeth, and then he turned the handle of the knife upside down, with just such a stiff smile on his face...
There was a flash of cold light, and then the blood flowed, he actually gouged out all the black flesh around the wound with his own hands without changing his face! ! !
Looking at the bloody wound, he quickly applied the medicine, then took out a bandage to stop the bleeding and bandaged it. The movement was fast, and although the muscles in the corners of his eyes trembled in pain, his expression remained unchanged.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Is this okay? You were bitten by a poisonous snake, right?"
"Well, I have used the medicine myself... Fortunately, the snake is not the most poisonous, and the poison is not strong... Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago." He said calmly, "The poison has been removed by my medicine, but These rotten flesh will kill me if I keep it, so I can only cut it off."
I noticed that this guy took off his clothes while cleaning the wound, and his body was covered in horrible scars!
Although I also have injuries all over my body, compared to him... I can almost be regarded as thin skin and tender flesh!
Seeing his painful forehead sweating but trying to endure it, I sighed: "Sorry, there are no anesthetics here."
"Do you have cigarettes?" He suddenly smiled: "If you have cigarettes, you will feel more comfortable."
I immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
"Thank you..." He looked at me: "Thank you also for saving my life."
After a pause, he seemed to think about it, and said with difficulty: "Also... I'm sorry that I almost killed you."
After watching him carefully for so long, I finally saw that this black man was actually very young. I suspected that he might not even be twenty years old. Although he looks so cold and sophisticated, his face, after washing off the oil paint, looks very delicate, even with a hint of immaturity of a young man... This kind of physical youth, and the kind of expression on his face The mixture of mature and sophisticated temperament makes people feel a little strange.
I have always been very confident in my skills, but just such a guy who looks even younger than me and is seriously injured can almost kill me three times in just a short moment... Such a guy is really unbelievable Don't let me admire him.
"Why did you kill the Kunta?"
He glanced at me with calm eyes, but shook his head without speaking, and then asked me in a low voice: "That companion of mine, is he dead?"
"Dead." I noticed that when I said this, the young man's resolute eyes only slightly loosened, but they returned to normal in an instant.
"How did he die? Executed by shooting? Or was he trapped in a tower and fed to a lion?" The young man suddenly asked in a strange tone.
"..." I hesitated and looked at him hesitantly, but his eyes were very determined, as if he must say it: "I... well, you know 'Kurikaka', right?"
"I know." The young man nodded, his expression normal: "Is that so? Thank you for telling me."
I was a little surprised, because everyone I saw, including Yunta himself, and his wolf-like subordinates, when they heard the word Kuri Kaka, they all had a little bit of expression on their faces. Fear and dread. However, this young man was unmoved in the slightest.
I saw that his eyes were still bright, but his expression was getting a little tired, so I said: "Okay, take a rest, if you need anything, you can talk to my people."
…
What made me feel strange was that this young man found my subordinates afterward, but he made some strange demands, because I had told him before that as long as he had any needs, as long as they were not excessive, I would try my best to satisfy him. Turns out my guys got him something that seemed weird to us.
Feather, oil paint, charcoal...
Just when I went to see this young man again early the next morning after resting all night, I saw that he had already got out of bed.
The room has been decorated by himself, and he has drawn many strange patterns with charcoal on the walls. I can see that it seems to be something like a totem. Then this young man, he took off his shirt and only wore A pair of pants, a lot of oil paint on his body, also formed some patterns, and his face was also stained with feathers.
When I went in, he was kneeling on the ground, facing the totem on the wall, with his hands open and his eyes closed, and he was chanting something loudly... He was speaking a native language, which I couldn't understand, but I looked at his face The pious expression seems to be a kind of activity like a prayer ceremony.
I stood at the door, saw such a scene, and didn't know whether I should go in, but then I saw the black man took out a dagger, quickly cut off a bunch of his hair, and then used the dagger to repair his own hair. A little fingernail, and finally put it respectfully in a basin in front of him, took out the lighter and burned it to ashes.
He prostrated himself on the ground, whispering the dialect in his mouth, those words were sonorous and powerful, although I couldn't understand a single word, I also felt the taste of piety.
Finally, he finally ended all this, then stood up, glanced at me at the door, said nothing, first calmly wiped off the oil paint and feathers on his face with a towel, then tidied up everything, and even After wiping off all the totems on the wall, he sat down again.
The wound on his body was open again, and a lot of blood flowed out. But this guy looked calm, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
"My name is Tu." He looked at me, with a trace of sadness finally showing in his expression: "I, and you have seen my companion who was killed by the trapped tower. We all belong to E. Combat members of A·O." Seeing my blank face, he slowly explained: "The whole process of E·A·O is the 'United Alliance of European and African Mercenaries', an alliance company with dozens of mercenary organizations .Responsible for various mercenary activities in South Europe, North Africa, and East Africa. My companions and I do not belong to any mercenary organization. We are combat members directly affiliated to the headquarters of the alliance company... Our duty is to defend the majesty of the alliance. If Which mercenary organization under the company violates the alliance regulations, or mutiny, etc., then it is up to us to come forward and punish the traitor."
I thought for a while and said, "Oh? Then why did you kill the Kunta?"
"No, I didn't intend to kill Yunta." Tu shook his head: "I just said that I am a combat member of the headquarters of the Alliance Company. I am not a mercenary. The Alliance Company will not send us out to do mercenary work. Our mission It is the mercenary organization that suppressed those rebellious alliances... We are the last ace force to defend the alliance. As for the assassination of the sleepy tower you mentioned... "
He hesitated for a moment, and told me directly: "Actually, things are not what you think. The assassination in the mine in the tower was done by my companion... In fact, his identity is the same as mine, and he is A member of the Union Company, but he is from the Decakara tribe, and his tribe is being massacred by the Kunta. The assassination against the Kunta is his private revenge. He violated the company regulations and twice for personal grievances Unauthorized actions to assassinate Yunta, one of which almost succeeded, killing a military general under Yunta. And what you saw was the second assassination. He acted privately in disregard of company regulations, which has seriously violated Alliance company regulations, so... I didn't come out to kill the tower... My mission is actually to prevent my companions from violating the rules. The power given to me by the company allows me to kill him when necessary!"
I was really completely surprised: "Didn't you come to kill Yunta?"
"No." He shook his head.
"..." I looked at this guy: "Then... So, that day, it was your companion who assassinated Yunta with a sniper rifle. And you came to stop him, right?"
Tu smiled... His smile was very calm: "This is what happened... The guy who died was named Delong. He was a member of the same combat team as me, and his skills were better than mine. However, his behavior of fleeing without authorization and assassinating the head of state G without authorization has been regarded as a traitor by the company. The company sent two combat members to stop him, but Delong's skills are too good. , were all killed by Delong. And I was the third person sent by the company.
It took me a long time to find his whereabouts. In the jungle outside the Kunta Mine, he and I fought each other for three days... The injuries you saw on my body were all left by him For me... not the soldiers of the trapped tower. Those soldiers couldn't hurt me at all. He is indeed stronger than me, but he was also injured, and the two soldiers sent to deal with him before me also caused him some damage and affected his combat effectiveness, otherwise, I am afraid I will be killed by him up.
His assassination failed, which led to a large-scale search of the mountain by the soldiers of the trapped tower, and I happened to be in that jungle. I was already seriously injured at the time, and his situation was similar to mine. In the end, I escaped, but he was arrested and returned. Before we were caught, the two of us fought again. He had a chance to kill me, but in the end he gave up because he knew he had no chance because of the situation at the time. So he let me go and let me escape. "
Tu Huanxuan said: "Deron is a very good fighter, all his abilities are top-notch. If he hadn't been chased and killed by the company before, which seriously affected his combat effectiveness, he wouldn't have died in the sleepy tower. In the hands of those soldiers! Hmph! Those trash can’t kill him at all. But he is too stubborn. He is too extreme. He must kill Yunta. This is his biggest mistake! He even violated our action habits , It is very dangerous to carry out assassination activities when his body is seriously injured. In the end, he could only take his own life."
I could vaguely hear that Tu seemed to have a faint respect for that guy named Delong in his tone.
"Since you didn't come to kill Kunta... you came to deal with that Deron... Then why didn't you kill me on the plane?" I found it very strange.
Because on the plane, he obviously held me with a gun, and after I said "I can help you kill the tower", he let me go. I thought he was also here to assassinate Yunta.
"Delong is dead...he failed to fulfill his wish." Tu looked at me: "And I cannot violate the company's regulations, and I cannot fulfill his wish on his behalf. I also cannot take action against Yunta."
I get it: "You want someone to help him fulfill his last wish, right?"
Tu didn't speak, just looked at me.
Damn, it seems that my life was really picked.
"On the plane, you saved my life." Tu's voice was not loud, but he was very firm: "And you brought me back, which also saved me." He looked at me: "I can repay you."
"I don't need to repay." I said lightly: "What can you give me? Money? Or something else?"
"I'm a good fighter." Tu looked at me.
I smiled: "I don't need soldiers. I live in a civilized country, not in Africa. I have many men. And... You said you belong to that EAO organization, do they allow you to act without permission? I don't want to cause trouble !"
Tu looked at me for a while, then suddenly said: "EAO thought I was dead. According to the procedure, Delong had already killed me."
"?" I looked at him.
He explained: "Our members who come out to act will have a signal-sending device. When the mission is successful, people from EAO will send people to organize our evacuation. This signal device can let the company's rear personnel know that our action is Success or failure. When I fought Deron in the jungle, I destroyed his equipment, and when he fought me in close quarters, he subdued me...”
…
The jungle was full of the rotten smell after the rainy season, and Tu lay panting among a pile of grass leaves, his chest was in severe pain, and the broken rib almost caused him to go into a brief shock just now.
He had already lost 90% of his mobility. Even though he was lying on the ground, he still maintained a defensive posture, facing the pair of eyes that were so close at hand!
Delong was still able to stand up. He knelt on the ground with one knee, but in his hand was a signal device snatched from Tu.
"I lost, you can finish me." Tu felt that he was about to faint, he said to Delong calmly.
Deron's face was covered with blood, and one of his arms could hardly move at all. Under the disheveled hair, there was a trace of complicated gaze in his eyes.
Suddenly, he took the signal device and quickly sent a message back.
"Confirm identity, coordinates..." This is the reply in the annunciator.
Delong smiled, then took the signal device, facing Tu, and slowly said to the inside: "I am Delong, I killed your people... this is the third one!"
There was no reply, and the indicator light on the annunciator immediately went out, which was a unilateral cessation of the signal by the other party.
Tu closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, staring at Delong: "Why?"
"It's very simple, Tu, now you are free." Delong looked at Tu, panting like a wounded beast: "We are not fighting machines, we are humans... What I just said has been sent to the headquarters of the society, through my sound waves Analysis, they will make a conclusion that you are dead, and then...they will send a fourth person to kill me...and you are already a dead person in the company report."
After saying a few words, Delong was exhausted. He sat down slowly and listened to the surrounding movement: "At most fifteen minutes, they will search here. The soldiers under the sleepy tower are very good at fighting in the jungle. .We're all going to die here."
Tu had already closed his eyes. He was a little dazed...
dead? Is it already recorded as a dead person
In other words, I no longer belong to EAO. Tu, who was trained as a fighting machine, suddenly felt a sense of confusion of losing his subordination.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his leg!
Opening his eyes and looking, Tu saw Delong holding a thin injection about the length of a finger in his hand and inserting it into his thigh.
"Tu." There was a smile on Deron's face: "This is the last 'angel', your injury is lighter than mine. This 'angel' can restore some of your mobility... you can get out of here .”
As he said that, Delong had lowered his arms, and he coughed a few times. He coughed up some blood because of the injury to the lung lobe—and the injury to the lung lobe was precisely because he was stabbed by Tu in the fight with Tu.
Under the stimulation of the "angel" injection, Tu felt that he quickly recovered a bit of strength, and he stood up slowly: "Why?"
Tu stared at Delong carefully.
Deron lay down on his back, panting heavily, and then he smiled and said, "Because...have you forgotten? You are the same as me, we are all...people!"
Finally, he pointed to his head: "Maybe you have forgotten this... But remember, we are human beings, not machines. Remember, freedom! Have you ever tasted the feeling of freedom? Although I am dying, I am very happy. Luckily, during the time I'm out of the company, at least I'm free!"
…
"And then?" I heard Tu describe the situation in a calm tone, and I asked, "Then you left?"
"Yes." Tu said lightly: "I asked Delong before I left. I saw that he was in pain. I can help him end it."
I understand what "end" means.
Tu continued: "Delong refused, he said he still has a little strength, and he can kill two more soldiers who are trapped in the tower." There was a trace of sadness in his eyes again: "I lost the annunciator, and I can't communicate with you." EAO contacted, without the help of the evacuation personnel, I had to get out of there on my own. I found the airport, and then got on the plane...you know the rest of it."
I didn't speak and looked at this guy.
Tu slowly said in an indescribably complicated tone: "I have received the most rigorous training... I have been trained since I was six years old, and I have killed many people. The whole mission of my life is to serve EAO. But now, I I am already a dead person. I can have two choices. First, I can contact the company again, and then I will be taken back immediately. After the company’s audit and investigation, my loyalty will be confirmed. If the company accepts me, I will I will continue my career as a soldier and continue to kill for the company. If the company thinks I am suspicious, or suspects that I have been 'tainted' by Deron, then I may be executed by the company."
"Then... What about the second?" My heart moved.
"Second, I'm leaving the company. Under normal circumstances, the company won't find out, as long as I stay away from Africa." His voice became very strange, with a hint of strangeness: "As Deron said... I am free .”
When he said the word "freedom", his voice trembled slightly abnormally.
"You saved me, I should repay you." Tu Huan said: "I can help you kill... I only know this."
"Kill..." I was silent.
Tu's eyes suddenly became very cold: "Yes, kill people. I am proficient in various combat killing techniques, and in return I can kill people for you, anytime, anywhere... But there is one condition, I will not kill official people, and Anyone with a political color. Because such people are very sensitive and easily attract the company's attention. I don't want to become a machine anymore, or be hunted to death like Deron."
"I don't need soldiers." I smiled wryly: "If I need soldiers, I can always spend a lot of money to hire a team of retired American special forces, such as 'seals'. I don't have money to hire such retired soldiers. "
Tu Que said indifferently: "Seal?" He thought for a while, and his tone was very disdainful: "In the top mercenary organization under EAO, the fighting quality of any member is far better than that of American seals. One of the seals I accepted The mission, a companion and I performed a mission to execute a mercenary organization that betrayed the company and took refuge in other companies. They were originally A-level mercenaries in the company. The two of us dealt with eleven of them and killed them all in two days. , our side is harmless."
"You...what else?" I smiled wryly.
“I speak English, French, especially French, and I can speak four accents. Also, I can operate all firearms, I can fly a helicopter, I am proficient in demolition, hand-to-hand combat, jungle warfare, torture, counter-torture, and… "Tu said a series of words in one breath...
"Stop! Stop!" I was already sweating a little, but I thought to myself, damn it, a humanoid weapon!
I thought for a while: "Can you drive?"
"… meeting."
"Okay!" I laughed and said, "If you are willing to follow me... then from today onwards, you will be my driver."
