Dutch was very efficient in his work. The captain he was looking for arrived just after dawn and when the heavy rain turned into a light drizzle. However, Sherron still thought Caron was a local. When they met, he discovered that he was Caucasian and American.
Seeming to see the doubts of Xie Lun and others, Caron took the initiative to explain: "I have lived here for twenty years. It is no exaggeration to say that in this rainforest, if there is a place that I cannot reach, others can also reach it." No."
He paused and then said: "Of course my price is not cheap, 50,000 greenbacks! Every day! After all, in this season, no one except me will dare to send you into the rain forest."
The price was indeed ridiculously expensive, but neither Sherron nor Norman felt anything about it.
The former is because they are not spending their own money, while the latter is because they have no idea about money below six figures.
Seeing that Xie Lun did not raise any objection, Caron quickly added: "Of course, my responsibility is only to drive the ship, and I don't care about the other things. And from now on, you must ensure my life safety."
Dutch, a group of burly men armed with long guns and short cannons, shows that this trip is not simple, and maybe they are just trying to make money with their heads in their belts.
"No problem." Sherron stood up, "When will we set off?"
"Now you can."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
The group of people had nothing to clean up, and they had no nostalgia for this ugly and dilapidated thatched hut. Caron's boat was parked on the nearby river. After everyone boarded the boat, the old-looking boat immediately sailed deep into the rain forest.
But not long after, two modified ships sailed out from the town dock and also headed deep into the Amazon rainforest.
Caron's boat must have been remodeled from an ordinary fishing boat, because the space was not large, with only one single room besides the captain's cabin. This single room was shared equally between Sherren and Norman.
As for Dutch and others, they could only spend the night on the deck in sleeping bags. Fortunately, after entering the rain forest, the rain gradually stopped, and it was not so difficult for these strong men who had been soldiers for a long time to sleep on the deck.
In the private room, Sherron said to Norman: "The insider in the team must have leaked the news of our departure, so he is definitely following us."
Norman said with some worry: "But since there is a spy in the team, once I tell the coordinates of the destination, won't the enemy also know it?"
Xie Lun smiled and said: "It would be better if they follow the coordinates we provided. Didn't you say that there are monster guards near the Blood Orchid? If they go early, they can help us avoid thunder."
"But I think the possibility of them taking the initiative is low. After all, they are well aware of the difficulty of collecting blood orchids. So if I were them, I would stay far behind and wait until we collect the blood orchids. They ambush us again.”
Sherron patted Norman on the shoulder: "After all, compared to unknown monsters, killing people is more familiar."
Norman looked at Sherron, as if from the moment they met, Sherron had always had a smile on his face, as if nothing could trouble him.
He couldn't help but ask: "Then do you have any solution to this dilemma?"
"Of course, otherwise what's the point of Old Man Vigo asking me to come?" Xie Lun spread his hands and said with a smile, "You can just command the ship forward with peace of mind. As for other things, just leave it to me."
Xie Lun is not panic. For him now, the Blood Orchid does not mean much, at most it is the icing on the cake. As for why he came to Amazon, in addition to agreeing to Vigo, more importantly, the purpose was to see what Mephisto wanted to use John.
He had a hunch that as he left New York, and even the United States, some people dormant in the darkness would be unable to help but start to move.
In the NIA headquarters in Washington, Hollis put down the documents in her hands, leaned on her seat, and let out a long breath of exhaustion. The female secretary who was reporting on her work came forward thoughtfully, rubbed Hollis's temples, and whispered: "Deputy Director, do you need a cup of coffee and a rest?"
"You can have a cup of coffee, and you don't need to take a break." Hollis sighed, "Recently, I have been delayed a lot of work due to family matters. Now that the situation has finally calmed down, I have to catch up with the work progress as soon as possible."
The female secretary smiled: "Okay, I'll prepare coffee for you."
Hollis nodded and waited for the female secretary to bring the coffee before she stopped closing her eyes and concentrating, picked up the document again, flipped through a few pages, and frowned: "Why did President Robert suddenly decide to go to California to watch the football game? ?”
The female secretary shrugged: "Big shots like their decisions to be so sudden."
Hollis picked up the coffee, took a sip, and sighed: "He is the president and can make sudden decisions, but those of us who are in charge will be in trouble. Security, intelligence collection, logistics support, etc. are all... A lot of expenses.”
She put down the coffee cup, picked up the pen, signed the document at the end, and handed it to the secretary: "Never mind it, it's public money anyway, as long as Director William doesn't feel bad when it's finally reimbursed."
The female secretary pursed her lips and smiled, then handed over another document.
Hollis only glanced at it and felt a sudden pain in her temple. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who handed this document over?"
"Uh... Detective Sherron..."
Without saying a word, Hollis tore up the receipt and said angrily: "Let him lose 70% of the water before submitting it again. He dared to quote 1,000 for installing a coffee cup cushion in the car. This guy is too bold. .”
The female secretary smiled and said: "I will reply to Detective Xie, but he is so elusive that I can't be contacted by phone, so I can only send an email."
"This kid may have gone somewhere to play again. Don't worry about him. Let's wait and see when he comes back."
Hollis waved her hand impatiently, and the female secretary nodded obediently, her eyes flashing.
And in a secret base in Colorado, James looked at the man handcuffed on the seat with a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "Kenny, you are also an old man in the National Defense Department. You should know our methods, so be obedient. When we come out, it can end with dignity, so why make it so ugly for everyone."
The man gritted his teeth and remained silent.
James sighed and walked around the man: "You have also been in the field and have undergone rigorous training. You may think you can withstand the interrogation. You may even bet that we have no evidence and are just deceiving you, right?"
He patted the other party's shoulder behind him and sneered: "Actually, I targeted you during the 'Rabbit's Foot' incident. I thought you would be more honest after the Mission: Impossible team returned from China, but I didn't expect that you would be more honest." It’s quite active, which makes me very curious.”
James grabbed the other person's hair, pulled him back fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what's going on with that so-called 'package'? Where do you want to mail it?"
Even though his scalp was about to be pulled off, the man laughed strangely: "James, it's too late. The package is already on the way. There's nothing you can do."
"Yeah?"
James let go of his hand and gestured to the side: "In your place, I want to know all his secrets."
Dana slowly walked out of the shadows, stretched out her hand, and gently pressed the man's forehead in the face of the man's frightened eyes.
