Chapter 84: Underground Heaven
Dawn began to appear in the east, and the sky was already dawning. This article was written by...... Starting
The morning mist of Cape Town gradually rose on the sea surface in the mountains and forests, and gradually drifted away with the wind, and no one knew where it would drift until it disappeared.
In the town outside the mercenary station, a row of cabins is next to the town's grove, and the dim light is still there. There were occasional sporadic laughter inside, and the people in the room obviously didn't know that the dawn was coming, and they were still greedy for joy in their drunken dreams. It's a very special place. There is wine but not a tavern, there is gambling with cards and billiards but not a casino, and there are bewitching women, but not a brothel.
But it's always been a favorite place for mercenaries. The jukebox was playing loud music, the wooden house was filled with smoke, and the smell of tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and cheap perfume of women mixed together to form an inexplicable strange smell.
The mercenaries of the military security company do their best. So in the middle of the task they have to be completely calm. But they are also human beings. After the bloody storm, they also need a place to rest. With a highly dangerous profession and the constant pressure of dying, it is easy to ruin a person, even the strongest man.
So these mercenaries have to gamble and get drunk, fight each other, and find the best-looking woman who is the easiest to get started with, so that some things can be completely forgotten. Even if they are hard to forget, they can't even forget at all. So they can only continue to gamble and drink incessantly, continue to fight, and continue to look for women. That's why the cabin has a name -- Underground Paradise.
Lin Rui was coming to this place for the first time, because he had almost nowhere to go except here. He sat alone in the corner of the underground heaven, looking at the qiē around him. These mercenaries were all about everyone, Caucasian, black, and a few Asian and Latinos. Just like the liquor served here, there are whiskeys and local African earth shochu, but also two-pot heads and agave.
Zhao Jianfei sat beside him and placed a bottle of wine in front of him. "Don't you want to have some wine from home?"
Zhao Jianfei was biting a cigar in his mouth, and the half-naked girl was sitting on his lap, his white arms wrapped around his neck like a snake, and his warm chest was pressed against his chest. They were all beautiful and young, so they didn't feel how terrible it was to sell their youth, and they could smile so sweetly and be so happy.
"Erguotou?" Lin Rui shook his head, "Thank you, it's the first time I've seen such an expensive Erguotou." I knew why I would have come out to be a mercenary and make a fortune by opening a winery. ”
"Everything here is expensive, because mercenaries make easy money. Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "What about Qin Fen?"
Lin Rui pointed to the distance, "Playing cards there is a good time." However, I estimate that his salary will not be guaranteed this week if he continues to play. ”
Zhao Jianfei laughed and said, "He deserves it, you must know that the British are experts in playing cards, and Ivan is an old gambler, and he is used to cheating when playing cards." This kid doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he dares to play cards with him, isn't this looking for a loss?" Lin Rui shrugged his shoulders and said that he would not evaluate.
"Well, you don't like alcohol, you don't like gambling, I didn't even see you go to a woman. Then you have only one thing to do in Underground Heaven. Zhao Jianfei sighed.
"What's the matter?" Lin Rui said with some curiosity.
Before Zhao Jianfei could speak, there was already the sound of angry scolding and brawl from the other end of the room.
Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "It seems that someone has already started first." Belch...... Hell, it's our people!" Zhao Jianfei immediately pushed away the woman next to him and rushed over with Lin Rui. It was actually a woman who was fighting! The blonde hair and blue eyes were surprisingly good, and the enthusiasm of the mercenaries rose at once. Screaming and shouting around there, whistling and laughing desperately.
"It's Yelena, should we help her?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Just kidding, her nickname is Viper. Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "Do you know why you say that? Because she is poisonous and fast." ”
Before Zhao Jianfei's words were finished, Yelena on the opposite side had already thrown the sturdy mercenary who was a head taller than her to the ground with a judo move. And kicked the man in the face. It caused a burst of excitement among the mercenaries.
Lin Rui smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Jianfei, "I still think that the title of female tsar is more suitable for her." ”
But there was a commotion among the people around him, and the mercenary who was knocked down by Yelena was obviously a little unbearable. He got up, pulled out the dagger tied to his leg with his backhand, and rushed up in a rage, the dagger in his hand had been raised high.
With a crisp gunshot, the dagger in the mercenary's hand was shot and flew out of his hand and nailed to the wall of the wooden house.
Everyone was silent, and they turned their heads to look at the man who had shot. It was a small old man of modest appearance, wearing a dirty waistcoat and an apron tied around his waist. It was clearly the bartender in front of the bar just now.
The old bartender didn't even raise his head and said, "Young men, don't forget the rules on my territory." "The strange thing is that this old man's words actually made the mercenary who was as strong as an ox just now wilt immediately. The other mercenaries also kept their mouths shut.
"Who is this old man?" Lin Rui frowned and asked Zhao Jianfei in a low voice.
"The owner here, Angel. Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "A pretty powerful character." ”
Lin Rui almost laughed out loud, because this name was homophonic with the English angel, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you serious? Angel, this little old man's name is actually called Angel?"
"I'm not kidding, it's an underground paradise. It is said that he did not call God because of humility. Zhao Jianfei said lightly, "You don't want to think about it, how can ordinary people open a store here? And you look at it, this is in South Africa, how can people who don't have the slightest access get these wines, cigars, and women. ”
"So this Angel is really powerful?" Lin Rui said with a smile.
"Anyway, here, you have to remember one thing, never offend this person, but he is still very kind. After all, he is a businessman, and he makes money with harmony. Zhao Jianfei said.
Lin Rui didn't know what to say, this was really a chaotic and strange place. The drinkers were rude, but the barkeeper was still very kind when he openly shot and threatened the customers. He could only smile wryly and shake his head.
However, the mercenary who was defeated by Yelena obviously couldn't swallow this breath. He slapped the table and shouted, "Then we will follow the rules! The cage he was talking about was an octagonal cage next to the underground heaven. It was a standard fighting ring, surrounded by barbed wire. Once the fight starts, there is no room to quit. Until someone falls.
According to the rules of the underground heaven, knives and guns are not allowed here. If there is a conflict between mercenaries, they can go there to solve it. One-on-one, with no weapons or protective gear, a fist-to-hand fight. A grievance and contradiction are resolved in the octagonal cage, and after getting out of the cage, the two have nothing to do with each other.
Yelena sneered with a wine glass, "It's up to you?"
"Viper, I'll fight you on his behalf. Out of the crowd came a strong black man, his short-sleeved vest tightly supported by knotted muscles, and his arms were almost as thick as ordinary people's legs.
The crowd suddenly boiled again!"Tagore, it's Tagore!" Obviously, this strong black man was quite well-known among the mercenaries.
Jiang An walked over and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous now, although Yelena is okay, but her specialty is not hand-to-hand combat." The black man, Rabindranath Tagore, was a master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Although Yelena is very fast, she is a woman after all, and her strength is the biggest shortcoming. ”
Zhao Jianfei patted Lin Rui and said, "Xiaolin, I will give you the opportunity to save the beauty and protect the female tsar." ”
"Me?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Of course it's you, what is my identity, as soon as I appeared, Tagore was about to pee his pants and soften, what else did it mean. Besides, you can't watch a woman get beaten, right?" Zhao Jianfei said disdainfully.
Lin Rui said helplessly, "Then I'll try?"
"Go up, go up!" Zhao Jianfei urged, "Let these foreign devils see your Chinese kung fu." ”
Lin Rui could only step forward and say, "Hey, that big guy, what is your name Tagore, right? You're such a big guy, it's a bit inappropriate to hit a woman, right?
"You?" the black man Tagore turned his head to look at Lin Rui, and suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, "With your little ribs, you dare to stand up?"
Lin Rui's face changed, and he sighed and said to Tagore, "Based on your words, I will discount your ribs today." ”
"Hey, I didn't ask you for help!" Yelena frowned.
"Just give you a favor in return, I remember the last shot you shot me. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Besides, I don't like him a little." He slowly descended into the octagonal cage next to him, and beckoned to the black man, Rabindranath Tagore, with a calm and relaxed look. Immediately angered the black Khan, who had never been so despised. Not to mention being an Asian.
The mercenary drinkers at the scene suddenly became emotional, with applause and cheers and sharp whistles. Zhao Jianfei took advantage of the situation and grabbed a smiling girl and sat on the sofa to watch the play. Shogishi glanced at him and said, "Is this really good?"
"Trust me, it's only good for him. We have too much pressure at work, so he has to have a way to decompress by guò venting. That's why the underground paradise is alive. Zhao Jianfei took a sip of his wine glass
