After bidding farewell to the two Xia country passengers, the convoy continued on its way.
It didn't take long before the entire convoy arrived in front of a large and luxurious villa.
The prices in Tanzania are still extremely low compared to Xia Country. Even these luxury houses are not worth much, and many of them are even abandoned. Therefore, the Black State branch of Xinghai Security simply rented a large villa as its base.
There is one particular benefit to renting this type of villa.
The luxury houses here are really uninhabitable without adequate security measures. Villas like these basically have a full set of security facilities such as power grids, monitoring, security alarms, etc.
High gates, large courtyards and thick walls are also standard. Some even have bodyguard rooms, observation towers and even shooting holes, which are no different from natural fortresses. For a business like Xinghai Security that tends to use force, it is absolutely perfect to use it as a base and headquarters.
At this moment, this villa manor has been slightly renovated by Xinghai Security and has become a fortress as strict as a military base.
Many of the so-called villas in China are just small courtyards, but it is different here. The area starts from thousands of square meters. Most of them are used for landscape gardens or are simply empty, with only two or three buildings in the middle.
The Xinghai Security base is no exception. Most of the open space is used as training grounds, while the main building in the construction area is used as office space, and the various ancillary buildings are used as dormitories and warehouses.
Of course, there are also watchtowers and garages, which I won’t go into detail about.
There are many security teams patrolling and taking turns day and night. There are sentries and snipers occupying the highest points on several spires in the villa building area. There are power grids, surveillance, and alarms in all directions, which is absolutely no worse than a military bunker.
"BOSS."
"Mr. Xia."
"Mr. Xia, Supervisor."
After passing by several groups of patrol personnel and teams in training, Xia Xu was welcomed into the main building of the villa with respectful greetings.
"Old Yang and Old He, although you may be a little tired after just getting off the plane, your lives are at stake, so I hope you can start the investigation as soon as possible. I will ask Li Zhe to arrange for someone to hand over the intelligence we have and take you to the scene."
As soon as he sat down, Xia Xu began to give orders in a swift and decisive manner.
The main accompanying personnel this time are several Tianbing Engineering Transformers from Xinghai Security and Yang Bowen and He Qing from Joyoung Consulting.
Meng Bochao's physical condition is too weak, and coming to Heizhou might cost him half his life. Besides, as a computer technician, he could provide online assistance, so he was not brought along.
If I really come here, I will have to worry about equipment and network issues. Information technology is not very developed here, so it would be more convenient to stay in the country.
As for Pan Long, on the one hand, he was not good at investigation and was a little mediocre in terms of martial arts; on the other hand, Xia Xu had recently recommended him to a special department to be a non-staff member for training, and now there happened to be an assisting mission, so he was simply not called over.
"good."
"No problem, boss. There's nothing tiring about flying. I just had a good sleep and I'm full of energy."
Both Yang Bowen and He Qing responded positively.
One of these two is a four-star tracker and the other is a four-star investigator. Yang Bowen also has an additional three-star talent for investigation and intelligence gathering. When it comes to finding people, I think there are not many people in the world who are more professional than them.
Xia Xu attaches great importance to top scientific research talent like Feng Wenbin. In fact, he even temporarily stopped the transformation of Ato and transferred him here. However, Ato was shipped together with weapons and equipment and has not arrived yet.
"Zhou Mingjie, you are responsible for their safety. Li Zhe, you should also arrange a few people to serve as guides and translators."
Seeing that the two agreed, Xia Xu continued to give orders.
Zou Jin, Meng Ji and Cheng Hui all received giant gland implants, and they would be too conspicuous if they walked out, so Zhou Mingjie was the most suitable person to serve as the military guarantee for Lao Yang and the others.
The force that kidnapped Feng Wenbin this time is most likely targeting the Xinghai Group. We don't know what conspiracy they are hiding behind the scenes, so we cannot be overly cautious.
Old Yang and the others have been with him for a long time, and he doesn't want two more people to fall into trouble before Feng Wenbin is rescued.
"Boss, what about us?"
Seeing that Xia Xu stopped talking after he finished his explanation, Zou Jin took the initiative to ask questions. Meng Ji and Cheng Hui also turned their eyes to Xia Xu.
"You three should take a rest first. You can't help with the investigation. Regain your strength first. You will have the chance to use it later."
Xia Xu waved his hand.
"Boss, you should take a rest first. You are so tired from the journey..."
Li Zhe quickly interrupted enthusiastically.
"No need. Arrange two people who know the local language to go out with me."
Xia Xu shook his head.
All the equipment he prepared had not arrived yet, so like Zou Jin and the others, he, as the boss, could not help much. This was also the reason why Li Zhe continued to arrange the reception matters in a timely manner. He was extremely tactful in handling matters.
However, after undergoing the transformation through the Heavenly Soldiers Project, he was full of energy and physical strength, and did not feel tired at all.
In addition, his chief pharmaceutical chemistry expert was missing, so he naturally had no intention of resting at the moment. It would be better for him to walk around the area. If he found something unexpected, that would be great. If not, he would just take it as a chance to appreciate the local customs and culture.
Taking the two branch bodyguards arranged by Li Zhe with him and rejecting the proposal of Zou Jin and the other three conspicuous and stupid guys to accompany him, Xia Xu walked out leisurely.
The area nearby is a villa district, with high-walled courtyards like the branch, and most of them appear to be vacant.
There was obviously nothing interesting around here, so Xia Xu and his two bodyguards wandered around and ended up at a nearby market.
There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, with mansions and shacks just one step away. The market that the locals normally go to instantly becomes a slum.
Various shacks, small wooden houses that look like old-fashioned newsstands, speeding motorcycles and tricycles, and clothes that look even dirtier against their skin color, the style of the painting suddenly changes.
“The seafood here is quite cheap…”
With two bodyguards acting as translators in the poor local language, Xia Xu managed to stroll around the market reluctantly.
To sum it up in one sentence, there are all kinds of things for sale, the most common ones are rice, flour, fruits and seafood. Arusha is by the sea, so seafood is very cheap, especially lobsters which the locals don't eat.
It’s a pity that the people from Xinghai Security have only been settled in Heizhou for three or two months, and those who are more familiar with the local language have already been assigned to Yang Bowen and others.
His two bodyguards could only use poor vocabulary and gestures, so there was no way to get any information from them. They could only watch the fun.
"Hey sir, do you need a guide?"
As they were strolling, a little black boy suddenly caught up with Xia Xu and his friends, speaking English with a strange accent.
At first, Xia Xu didn't want to pay attention to him. Having two bodyguards was enough for basic communication. If a guide and translator were really needed, Li Zhe could also contact local professionals.
As for the black kid who came to his door, he learned some about the local situation from Li Zhe.
Many of these children who have been struggling outside since they were very young are orphans with no one to rely on. In order to survive, they are basically not clean. Petty theft and even involvement with gangs are common. It would be troublesome to use them.
But soon Xia Xu became interested in the little boy.
Because after he ignored him, the black kid immediately switched back to speaking Xia Guoyu. Although his accent was still strange, at least he could understand what he meant.
Seeing that Xia Xu still didn't respond, the black child immediately switched to the island language and Korean, and then some Southeast Asian languages.
"This person is actually a person who is proficient in multiple languages?"
Xia Xu became a little interested.
Being proficient in multiple languages is not uncommon, but it is very rare in a place like Heizhou, especially for a child. If he could not only speak this one sentence, he could be considered a language genius.
"Do you only know these few words, or are you proficient in these languages?"
Xia Xu asked in Xia Guoyu.
"I can communicate these things in a basic way, sir. Believe me, I am the best guide here."
The black kid immediately perked up.
