I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 577 Interlude
An hour later, Chen Chen got on a jeep provided by a local security company.

It must be said that the equipment of the Kenyan security company gave him quite a surprise. He originally thought that these people were at most street urchins carrying second-hand AKs bought from Ukraine, wearing tattered military uniforms, and driving shabby pickup trucks that could go anywhere except for the horn that didn't sound.

But in fact, the security personnel here drive Mobius equipped with bulletproof armor plates, and hold the same M1014 as the US Marine Corps and AK-74M as the Russians. Some even have red dot sights of unknown models installed.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is the bulletproof vests they wear.

Chen Chen felt that the thing looked familiar at first glance. After a closer look, he found that it was exactly the same bulletproof vest used by the Dongfeng Corps in Pubei.

If you insist on saying there is any difference, it’s probably just a few more English signs.

My goodness, Peng Xucheng’s business has already expanded to Kenya, and I didn’t even know about it.

It seems that I need to put more energy into "business" in the future, otherwise I really won’t even know how big my own plate is.

The car drove all the way north, and at the beginning, the security personnel maintained extremely high professionalism.

Apart from the dedicated guide who constantly introduced the scenery, ecology and wildlife along the way, none of the gunmen spoke a word.

However, as the journey became longer and longer, the somewhat boring itinerary finally made everyone unable to hold back.

At first, they just talked quietly to each other.

Gradually, they began to take the initiative to talk to the four people from the Dongfeng Corps. Of course, Chen Chen and others could not appear too indifferent. After all, their current identity was that of wealthy tourists.

So, a group of people started chatting in their broken English in the bumpy jeep, and the slightly funny questions raised by these Kenyans also made Chen Chen's tense heart relax a little.

".So you came here specifically to see the primitive tribe? Aren't there any primitive tribes to the north of you?"

The security leader asked curiously.

".They've disappeared a long time ago. Africa should be the only place where primitive tribes still exist, right?"

Chen Chen asked helplessly.

"Of course not. There are more primitive tribes in Papua New Guinea than here, and they are more primitive."

"In fact, you have been deceived. There is no real primitive tribe near Elwak. Most of the primitive people there are Somalis who make a living by performing."

"Marsabit is the largest settlement of primitive tribes. You should go there."

“We’ll go there, too.”

Chen Chen answered without hesitation, and then added:
"We are going to travel all over Kenya. In addition, we will go to Egypt, Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia."

“An adventure trip.”

The team leader gave Chen Chen a thumbs up and then asked:

"You are probably considered truly wealthy people, right? But perhaps not some old-school aristocracy?"

"How did you tell?"

Chen Chen asked subconsciously.

"It's simple. The real old money wouldn't just walk into our office and ask for security services like you did."

“Before they leave, they will inform their housekeeper to contact the Nairobi Police Station, and then communicate with us through the contact person at the police station.”

"The lower level ones may contact through the hotel they are staying at, but they will not go to the hotel's business department, but through Golden Key."

"So, you are most likely the upstarts who have made a considerable fortune. Well, you are still young upstarts."

"Let me guess. Gold diggers from the north?"

“Close, but not quite.”

Chen Chen shook his head to deny it, but at this moment, he was already feeling somewhat uneasy.

What the leader talked about seemed casual, and he even revealed a lot of "inside stories" about security hiring to me, but it can basically be said that every word he said was testing my identity, and every word carried some meaning of "getting to the bottom of things".

If he wasn't just too curious, then he had other intentions.

Chen Chen looked out the window. According to the road signs that passed by from time to time and the GPS positioning data on his watch, their driving route did not deviate from expectations.

However, this does not mean that you are absolutely safe.

The reason is simple, there is no one in front of them!
Thinking of this, Chen Chen moved his body slightly, took his right hand out from the slightly narrow side, and casually placed it on the glove box.

At the same time as he made the move, Li Bang in the back seat also adjusted his sitting position tacitly.

He gently leaned towards the security guard next to the car door and squeezed in deliberately to gain more space for himself.

If the other party intends to attack, his immediate reaction will definitely catch them off guard.

The leader was still chattering. He seemed to realize that what he said was a little inappropriate, so he quickly changed the subject and continued:
“The situation in Elwak is not safe, and it should be said that the situation in the whole of northern Kenya is not safe.”

"Your choice is wise. You are smart explorers."

"Just last year, an expedition team lost their way in the north. Their families hired us to search and rescue them in the uninhabited area. By the time we found them, their bodies had been eaten by wild beasts."

“So, you have to have a gun.”

"By the way, do you want to go hunting?"

"We can provide hunting services as long as sufficient cash is paid."

".This isn't legal, is it?"

"No one will know."

The leader smiled mysteriously and replied:
“We have provided this service many times and have never had a problem.”

"In fact, hunting in northern Kenya is much more exciting than hunting in the south."

"There are packs of hyenas, antelopes, and even the occasional wild lion and elephant."

"They are not the docile ornamental species in the reserve. In order to survive, they have evolved super-aggression. When you shoot them down, the experience is absolutely unique on the planet."

"Well, maybe the only experience more exciting than this is shooting at a living person."

"is it?"

Chen Chen's muscles have begun to slowly tense up.

"Have you ever shot anyone?"

"of course."

The team leader took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Chen. Chen Chen waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want it, so he lit it up.

"I've killed a lot of people - before I did this job, I was a mercenary."

"I was once employed by Sudan's Blue Nile Companions and went to Saudi Arabia to carry out missions. After retiring, I joined some more commercial mercenary organizations."

"Have you heard of the EW Group? I once provided services for them in Tanzania."

".real or fake?"

Chen Chen looked into the leader's eyes with a little surprise, but there was no sign of lying in the latter's eyes.

It is indeed possible that the people sent by Peng Xucheng in Tanzania had hired security guards or mercenaries locally, but isn't this too much of a coincidence?
"of course it's true."

The team leader nodded solemnly and then said:
"The bulletproof vests we wear are products of the EW Group."

"We had a pleasant cooperation, but unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to join that mercenary group."

"why?"

“They look down on me.”

The leader answered calmly:
"They are truly bloodthirsty monsters. Every battle they have is as terrifying to me as a trip through hell."

"Don't you go to YouTube? There's a channel there that's dedicated to counting the number of kills by the EW Group."

"According to the above data, the number of murders committed by the EW group in Southeast Asia has already exceeded 5000. Some even say that they are now in Syria, helping government forces fight against the opposition, terrorists and NATO."

"If this is true, then their record is amazing."

The team leader shook his head and didn't continue. At this time, the team had been driving for more than five hours and was more than 300 kilometers away from Nairobi.

They entered a real no-man's land. At first glance, all they saw outside the window was the desolate scene of the desert Gobi, with no trace of human existence at all.

The atmosphere in the car was strangely silent. Chen Chen wanted to speak, but the team leader suddenly raised his hand.

"It's time to get down to business."

"If you want to keep going, you have to pay more."

"You know, it's very dangerous ahead, and there are many terrorists from the Somali Youth Party."

"In order to get you to Elewak, we must take risks that far outweigh the rewards."

"That's unacceptable - I think you understand that, right?"

"Completely understand."

Chen Chen nodded slightly and asked calmly:

"But how are we supposed to transfer money to you? There's no internet or bank here, and I don't think I have enough cash on me, right?"

“Elevak has everything we need.”

The team leader breathed a sigh of relief, seeming quite satisfied with Chen Chen's "cowardly" reaction.

"Like I said, you're a smart man, a smart upstart."

"You know how much your life is worth, so you should name your own price."

"If the price doesn't satisfy us, maybe you'll have to stay in Elewak."

"The Somalis there will be more cruel than us."

"clear."

Chen Chen nodded again, and then asked:
“Have you been doing this?”

"Only occasionally."

"That's not the first time, is it?"

"of course."

"Did anyone die in your hands?"

"No, we never kill people - but the Somalis may not be the same."

"understood."

Chen Chen let out a long sigh and turned to look at Li Bang in the back seat.

There is no need for any verbal communication. The moment their eyes meet, the decision is made in their minds.

All the muscles in Chen Chen's body tensed up instantly, and before the team leader in the driver's seat could react, his left hand had already reached out to the back of the other person's head.

The unshaved long hair became the team leader's biggest flaw. Chen Chen grabbed the other's hair on the back of his head tightly, and at the same time, his right hand quickly stretched out and pinched his chin.

Apply force and rotate.

With a crisp click, the leader's neck was broken in an instant.

Then, Chen Chen took control of the steering wheel and looked at the back seat.

At this time, the back door had been opened by Li Bang, and the security guard sitting on the far right was kicked out of the car. Smoke and dust rose, and his tumbling body was crushed by the vehicle behind. The so-called "guide" who was controlled in the middle had completely lost the ability to resist after two consecutive elbows from Li Bang.

"What should he do?"

"Leave."

Chen Chen spoke decisively, then opened the driver's door, unbuckled the team leader's seat belt, and kicked his body out of the car.

Then he quickly flipped to the driver's seat, stepped on the brakes to stop the jeep, loaded the shotgun, aimed at the rear tire of the jeep and fired a shot.

"boom!"

The jeep immediately tilted to one side and slowly stopped after driving for dozens of meters.

When Chen Chenhe arrived with a gun, Lin He and Pingchuan had already gotten out of the car.

They each held a weapon that did not belong to them, and the interior of the car was now filled with blood and brain matter.

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

After everyone reported their situations, Chen Chen checked the conditions of the so-called "security personnel" one by one, and mercilessly shot the still twisting "corpses".

After everything was done, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Depend on."

"They just bumped into us. If they were really tourists, we would have been ripped off by them."

"Li Bang! How's the guide doing?"

"Still alive!"

"Understood. Drag the bodies down, take the bulletproof vests away, burn the cars, get in our cars and keep moving!"

"understand!"

Pingchuan and Linhe stripped the bulletproof vest off the corpse, threw a relatively clean one to Chen Chen, then quickly got into the car and sped away at the accelerator.

This "battle that wasn't a battle" lasted only two minutes from start to finish.

Within two minutes, the unarmed Dongfeng Corps' four-man team killed four fully armed security guards without a single injury.

Under the huge shock, the guide who remained in the car had completely lost the ability to move.

He huddled in his seat, trembling, and uttered intermittent pleading sounds that were almost like moans.

"Please. I am forced."

“I’ve never killed anyone”

"Shut up."

Chen Chen interrupted and then said:

"Keep showing the way. Once we get to Elewak, I'll let you go."

"I know I know!"

"thanks, thanks"

The car continued to move forward, and two hours after crossing the no-man's land, the first town in the Elwak area finally appeared in front of everyone.

Chen Chen arrived at the temporary airport where the meeting point was as agreed, and there, he indeed saw the truck that had arrived in advance and was waiting.

Something has arrived.

Chen Chen finally felt relieved. He drove the car to the truck without hesitation, while the Somali Youth Party militants who were on guard nearby surrounded him with a covetous look.

Chen Chen pushed the door open and got out of the car, showing the identity badge that had been agreed upon long ago, and said:

“Take delivery.”

In an instant, all the militants dropped their guns at the same time.

Chen Chen turned to look at Li Bang and said:

"Kill the guide and notify the plane to land."

"Leave in an hour and cross Sudan!"
