Lin Rui and the others have been lurking on the hillside without moving, except for those who are on guard, the rest of them have taken a nap.

The fortress in the distance was on high alert, and the personnel in the fortress were all in a tense mood at all times. There is only one exception - Gross.

This former member of the Israeli special forces Wild Boy has an extraordinary calmness. The big war was imminent, but he didn't have the slightest worry. He sat in the command room of the fortress, facing the mirror, slowly trimming his sideburns with a knife.

He was young when he left the army, but now he is in his forties. More than ten years of bloody storms on the international battlefield have not only made his Gross name quickly red with blood in the mercenary world, but also made his beard appear a little gray and white. But in any case, he is still Gross, one of the most dangerous mercenaries in the world today.

"The teams report back. Gross said faintly into the microphone in the command room.

"The first team is normal, and there are no signs of invasion during the east-west inspection of the fortress. Complete. ”

"The second team is normal, the frontal defense is intact, and there is no invasion. Done""The sniper team is in normal condition, over. "The internal defense team is normal, over. ”

The response of each team was timely and rigorous, but Gross frowned. This assessment is limited to seventy-two hours, and it stands to reason that this rookie team should take advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack, because a night raid is more beneficial to their attacker. But for some reason, this team seems to have been slow to move. And I don't know what these rookie mercenaries are doing now.

Gross put down the sharp saber in his hand and jumped out of his seat. Slowly, "Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise." The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first. ”

"Sun Tzu's Art of War, you also know this?" said a young man sitting across from him with a slight smile.

"I'm a soldier, and a soldier has to know this grandson. Gross looked at the young man and said, "Mr. Jiang, but you don't seem like a soldier." ”

"I am a representative of Morningstar, the on-site evaluator of this live confrontation. Strictly speaking, you can think of me as an accountant. The young man named Jiang smiled calmly and said, "You are warriors, and I am a businessman." That's all there is to it. ”

"Businessmen don't carry this with them. Gross put a pistol on the table and sneered, "Walter's HKP7 pistol is known as a world-class pistol. The 9 mm Balabylum cartridge is used, with a total length of 171 mm, a total weight of 0.78 kg, a barrel length of 105 mm, a muzzle velocity of 351 m / s, and an effective range of 50 m. However, there are only eight rounds of ammunition, and the appearance is too delicate. ”

"It seems that you know a lot about guns. Jiang nodded calmly.

"It's okay. Gross said coldly.

Mr. Jiang said slowly, "Then you should understand that no matter whether you look good or not, what can kill people is a good gun." And no matter how many bullets a gun has, being able to hit the talent is key. The biggest thing that a good accountant and a good gunman have in common is that they are precise and fast. Gross, I have shown the utmost kindness and even handed over my matching gun. You're not going to even interfere with my audit work, are you? Don't forget, I'm representing your employer. ”

"My employers are bastards, villains, and shameless politicians. Gross shrugged disapprovingly, "Of course, Morningstar isn't any more noble than my former employers. Considering the influence of Silver Wolf Michelle at the top of Morningstar, I have to guard against you. So not only can't you return the gun, but you have to stay here so that you don't do anything that would harm fair play. ”

"You Gross do things, and sure enough, it's leaky. You have earned my respect in this respect. So in terms of careful and cautious assessment, I can give you a good evaluation. Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

"No, no, you seem to have misunderstood me. Gross shook his head, "I mean I'm not going to let you stay in my command room like this. He lowered his face and waved his hand, "Handcuff him for me." ”

As soon as Gross gave the order, several mercenaries of five big and three thick immediately came, and they held down Mr. Jiang and handcuffed him to the seat, and even his feet were restrained by high-strength nylon ropes. Mr. Jiang was also calm, looked at Gross slowly, and said, "Gross, what do you mean by this? Do you want to interfere with my work? I can sue you, the employer will be very unhappy." ”

"Since you're an auditor, it should be enough to bring a pair of eyes. Gross said slowly, "Although I restricted your freedom of movement, I did not blindfold your eyes and ears. You will see and hear everything that happens here. But just for the bystanders, I'm not going to risk letting you go in and out of my fortress freely. In my team, it's up to me to make the final say, and even if you're from Morningstar, you can't break this precedent. ”

"But you're like this, I can't work properly, tactical evaluation is a comprehensive and complex job, not a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. If I don't look at all the items, then my analysis is one-sided and unrepresentative. Gross, are you too cautious about using such tactics against an accountant?"

He smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity, you're an accountant who knows how to use guns, and you have a unique taste for guns. You're right, I, Gross, have been on the battlefield and have been in the mercenary world with strong hands until today, and all I rely on is prudence. And because of that, I'm alive now, and I will live for a long time. That's why you have to stay here today, right under our noses. Whether you're really doing those hellish counts or have another purpose, you don't have a chance to mess around. ”

Gross turned to his men and shouted, "Order the squads to be on guard." The order of patrols is one more important. Today is the first day of the Thunder Project, and it is also the most dangerous time, and it is necessary to remain vigilant until dawn no matter what. ”

Gross's orders were simple and straightforward, and his team executed them more efficiently. It is this tacit understanding and efficiency that has made them internationally famous. This time, though, Gross was clearly disappointed. The birdsong of the empty mountains in the Caucasus mountains, and the faint morning fog, all herald the dawn. For the whole night, those rookie newcomers did not appear.

Gross seemed to sit in the command room in some silence, and he also had not slept all night. In the corner of the command room, Mr. Jiang, who was locked in a chair, yawned and said, "What time is it?"

"Five o'clock. Gross said coldly.

"Oh, good morning. Mr. Jiang sighed and said, "Can I have another cup of coffee?"

Gross shook his head, "It's not good to drink too much coffee, you've already had a lot of it this night." ”

"yes, but I'm still asleep. My contract with Morningstar didn't say anything about me working overtime. It looks like I'm going to have to change my contract when I go back and get them to give me a raise. Mr. Jiang smiled bitterly.

"I also want to know what these Chinese are up to." Gross frowned, "If we didn't launch a surprise attack overnight while we were not on a firm footing, we wasted this first night." Of the seventy-two hours, they had already wasted five hours. And it's a precious night. As a military assessment specialist, what do you think about these?"

Mr. Jiang said lightly, "Pour me a cup of coffee, maybe I'll give you some Jianyi." You know that from the company's standpoint, my identity should actually be neutral. And providing you with advice is undoubtedly suspicious of favoritism. If I do, shouldn't you treat me to a cup of coffee?"

Gross glanced at his men, and the Israeli man walked over and poured a cup of coffee for Mr. Jiang. Considering that Mr. Jiang's hands were tied, he put a straw in the cup.

"Thank you. Mr. Jiang nodded gracefully. Although he was in a bad situation and was trapped in a chair, his demeanor was as leisurely as if he were in a café enjoying excellent service. However, after taking a sip of coffee, he frowned and said, "Gross, you are a good hand at fighting. The job of making coffee is not even as good as that of an Irish country girl. ”

Gross's big mercenary took out a gun and put it at Mr. Jiang's head, and sneered, "You're right, we're not chicks. ”

"Get your people to get their guns out of the way. Mr. Jiang said coldly, "Then I will give you a Jianyi, as for whether you can listen to it or not, it's your business." ”

Gross glanced at the big mercenary with a gloomy face, and the mercenary let go of Mr. Jiang with some amusement.

"First of all, Gross, what I want to tell you is to wait for work. Mr. Jiang said slowly.

"Waiting for work?" said Gross, frowning, "We're guarding the fortress, and they're on long runs. Who is Yi and who is Lao, the advantages and disadvantages are self-evident, right?"

"Indeed, they came from out of town to participate in this assessment. Not dominant, but they kept a good attitude and had a night's rest. And you, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I stayed up all night with you. Not to mention the hard-working brethren out there. Who do you think is the advantage and who is the disadvantage in the current state?" Mr. Jiang said slowly.

"Tired soldiers, so cunning. Gross snapped, "It seems that they will definitely arrange a raid tonight." Immediately pass my order, and each team should seize the time to take a break. It is essential to sleep for a certain amount of time before going down at night. ”

Mr. Jiang shook his head and said, "Gross, as a professional soldier, you may have some ability, but as a commander, you are completely unqualified in this assessment. ”

"What do you mean?" said Gross.

"On what basis do you conclude that they must attack at night?" Mr. Jiang said word by word, "Now that the temperature is getting higher and higher, after lunch, with such a good sunshine, people are the most likely to get tired and sleepy, and their attention is also the most easily distracted. So noon is the most dangerous time. ”

Gross was slightly startled, turned his head suddenly, looked at Mr. Jiang and said sharply, "Who are you?"

"An audit evaluator, you can also call me an actuary. Mr. Jiang said coldly
