Chapter 248: Road Encounter
The two of them were born in the limitations of the army, and they did not have many opportunities to contact equipment outside the national system, although they coveted Xiao Yang and them, but as a qualified soldier, they were more worried about Xiao Yang's actions.
Although their superiors had ordered them to do their job as escorts before they came, what they saw now was too surprising and uneasy for them.
Xie Junhua hesitated for a moment, exchanged a look with Zhang Xiao, and said to Xiao Yang: "The order we received does not contain these, we must communicate with the above." ”
Xiao Yang looked at the two of them without a trace, smiled in his heart, and nodded, "It's okay, you guys ask for instructions." ”
He didn't want to be fully armed before, but after listening to the two of them introduce the situation over there, he felt that it was necessary to do so, of course, this is also because of the environment, if he was in the city, he would definitely not be like this, but the place they were going to was no man's land, so there were not too many taboos.
Sensing the nervousness of the two, he asked Little Ivan and the others to put down their guns and motioned for Xie Junhua to quickly contact his superiors.
Xie Junhua and Zhang Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their actions, and they didn't avoid it, and directly contacted their superiors in front of everyone and told them about the situation here.
Xiao Yang's identity, in the eyes of some people, is not a secret, Xie Junhua and the boss of their troops is one of them, although Xiao Yang's actions are a little illegal, but after a little consideration, he issued an order to Xie Junhua to fully cooperate.
After receiving this order, Xie Junhua was even more puzzled, but he understood what to do.
…………
To the west of the city, there is a very desertified wilderness, and the road condition is not very good, in order to prevent any accidents on the road, several people brought enough supplies for a week, "That road should lead to the direction of the destination?" ”
Not long after leaving the city, Xie Junhua drove into the wilderness, and he didn't take a road in the same direction in the distance, and little Ivan was a little strange.
"It's a controlled road, and the road condition is a little better, but you need to communicate temporarily, which is troublesome." Although the identities of several people were a little strange, Xie Junhua thought about it and said.
Oh! As soon as he said this, several people immediately understood.
Regulated roads, in China, how many roads are controlled roads? Thinking about the fact that this belongs to the border area, they don't ask any more, it must be a military unit, what is there to ask.
As he spent more time in the wilderness, Xiao Yang felt as if he was back in Somalia, surrounded by the same weathered landscapes, the same people, and the same bumps in the road.
"It's worse than Somalia." Before he could say how he felt, little Ivan, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke first.
Xie Junhua, who was driving, moved in his heart, "Have you ever been to Somalia?" ”
Xiao Yang, the co-pilot, smiled, knowing that he was curious about the identities of his several people, thinking that he still needed their help along the way, and he didn't mind telling him some information about his group.
"We're from Somalia, so it's a bit of a special situation, so ......," he said, gesturing to the gun in his hand.
Xie Junhua nodded, with new doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask, but asked about the others, "Are you mercenaries?" I've heard that mercenaries are very profitable. ”
Xiao Yang and Little Ivan both laughed, the reason why he asked like this must be because he thought about it from a private jet.
"You can also use us as mercenaries." Xiao Yang thought for a while and said, "Compared to you, mercenaries must be considered profitable, after all, they are working hard, but it also depends on personal ability and luck, many mercenaries don't make much money, and the cost of equipment is not small......"
He is not false, to a certain extent, mercenaries do make money, just like many years ago when Lao Ka issued a large-scale task to summon mercenaries to fight for him, even if he didn't move the gun that day, the commission was more than 1,000 US dollars, and when there was a combat mission, the daily salary was as high as tens of thousands of US dollars, and if the important local target was killed, there was an extra bounty, so in general, the mercenaries were still quite profitable, otherwise there would not be so many mercenaries in this world.
However, this does not mean that mercenaries are rich, good equipment can save lives on the battlefield, but it is also expensive, and these things are all high attrition, Xiao Yang They have encountered a situation where the gun in their hands is scrapped at the end of the day, plus this industry belongs to walking on the edge of life and death, most mercenaries like to have a drunk life today, and they can't keep it if they have money, so among the mercenaries, few are rich, and the money is spent by them.
Xie Junhua didn't know much about the mercenary circle, but he was very interested, otherwise he wouldn't have asked, and from Xiao Yang's words, he knew that this industry was not as good as he imagined.
I felt a little emotion in my heart, and at the same time, I also understood what Xiao Yang meant when he said that they were a little special.
Selectively ignoring certain questions he shouldn't have asked, shifting the conversation to equipment, "Is this gun an original American manufacturer?" He pointed to the M4 on Xiao Yang's lap.
Seeing that he asked about some unimportant things, Xiao Yang had a better impression of him.
As long as he is a soldier, there is no one who is not interested in equipment, especially under the constraints of national conditions, it is difficult for domestic soldiers to get in touch with foreign standard equipment, seeing that he is interested, and the road is boring, Xiao Yang has no reason not to give him an answer:
"Most of the parts are original, some have been modified by themselves, do you want me to come and see the car, you come to play?"
Xie Junhua hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "When I get to the camping place, I'll take care of it, you are not familiar with the road here, troublesome." Anyway, it won't be long before we stop. ”
"Okay."
Xiao Yang looked at the sky, the sunshine time here is shorter than in the west, don't look at it is still bright now, in fact, it will be dark soon, plus it is nearly October, the temperature difference between day and night will be very large, and it is their best choice to choose a place to camp as soon as possible.
The weather is like a child's face, it will change, the car will be driven for half an hour, the sky is blowing, Xie Junhua looked at the yellow sand rolled up in the wilderness, and then looked at the seemingly clear sky, and said to Xiao Yang: "We are not very lucky, it is estimated that it will snow heavily in the future, and we must arrive at the camping place before the snow, we have to speed up." ”
This situation, Xiao Yang has not seen it, he can still wear short sleeves one moment, and he may have to wear a padded jacket the next moment, he has also been to several places, he was not surprised when he heard Xie Junhua say this, and nodded, "You are the guide, you can arrange it." ”
After contacting the car behind them with the walkie-talkie, the two cars picked up speed and finally arrived at the previously booked campsite forty minutes later.
At this time, the sky was completely overcast, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature was dropping at an extremely fast rate, looking at the cave on the side of the small valley, Xiao Yang could only pray that the snow would not be too big.
Park the car in a leeward place, and then move some things into the cave, Xiao Yang took a look, and found that there were traces of human activity inside, and it would not be too long, maybe seeing the doubts in his eyes, Xie Junhua took the initiative to explain, saying that this is a foothold for them, and sometimes they will stay here for the night when they are on mission.
Listening to his explanation, Xiao Yang understood that it was obviously not only the two of them who knew about it, but a place that was "registered", so he didn't look at it anymore and began to sort things out.
After a simple arrangement, the sharp drop in temperature also made everyone feel cold, but fortunately, everyone was prepared before, and everyone hurriedly changed into winter clothes and lit a fire in the cave to disperse the cold.
This trip is not a dangerous task, little Ivan, who has never been very wronged himself, can be regarded as bringing all the supplies, seeing that it is still a little light outside and starting to snow, he found a bottle of wine from a bag, and then poured himself a glass, sighed and said: "This weather is too bad, if it is better, you can still get some game, there is wine and meat is life......"
"There's beef." Wu Si'an, who didn't talk much along the way, looked for it from another bag, and then threw over two bags of vacuum-packed beef, slightly with ice, "I took it from the refrigerator, and you are responsible for frying the steak." ”
"Good...... Good...... It's still the second child who thinks thoughtfully. Little Ivan immediately took it and began to look for the cutlery.
Xie Junhua and Zhang Xiao watched the interaction between the two, stunned for a moment, completely shocked and speechless.
This was the first time they had seen a group of people who were still so bullish on a mission, and they touched the compressed dry food in their pockets, and they were about to cry with grievances.
"It's not a war, so it's more casual." Looking at the unpredictable faces of the two, Xiao Yang said.
It's not that he doesn't know the style of the domestic army, and their behavior must be a challenge to the two of them at the moment.
"Well, feel free." The two nodded with difficulty.
Although it is said that the general will not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, what they have learned since they entered the army is really difficult for them to accept.
The environment is not used, the contact is different, Xiao Yang naturally will not pressure them to comply, Xiaoxiao didn't say more, got up and came to the entrance of the cave, looked outside, turned his head and asked, "When do you estimate that this snow will stop?" ”
Zhang Xiao immediately got up and took a look, "Don't worry, it won't affect our itinerary, according to my experience, it will take a day or two at most, and the temperature will melt quickly tomorrow morning." ”
Although it is not a big deal to delay for a day or two, Xiao Yang still doesn't want to waste it, and when he heard that the trip will not be delayed, he immediately put his heart down.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ivan, who was in charge of the food, finally made the steak and made a pot of coffee, Xie Junhua and Zhang Xiao were not pedantic people, and at the invitation of Xiao Yang, they sat down with a few people and ate steak.
However, they resolutely refused the wine handed over by Little Ivan.
