from night city

The arms dealer couldn't help but complain: "I just said leave them behind, we can walk much faster on our own."

Lidya Su glanced at him.

"Don't be so stubborn. Even if we leave them behind, we still have to find a place to rest at night. This is the territory of the rebels. It's still several days away from La Paz. You can't be so naive as to think that, You won’t encounter any rebels in the next few days, right?”

"Have a good rest at night so that you can be energetic during the day and not rush into the rebels without knowing it."

The arms dealer did not refute again this time because he knew that what Su Xiao said was right.

When they go to La Paz now, they don't just have to drive there, they also have to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

To maintain such vigilance, you must have a good rest at night.

Chapter 3 The Defeatist Counselor (4K)

The group parked the car in the wilderness.

Then international relief organizations began distributing food.

They didn't light a fire.

Because making a fire in this wild place is still too conspicuous.

Su Xiao took many weapons from his car and distributed them to the people from the International Rescue Organization, so that he did not have to rely only on the arms dealer and his three bodyguards.

He divided all those armed into three squads.

The first class is responsible for guarding now, the second class is responsible for the first half of the night, and the third class is responsible for the second half of the night.

In each squad he was joined by his own people, people from the International Rescue Organization, and bodyguards from the arms dealers.

International Rescue Organization Su Xiao can rest assured, but Su Xiao is not so assured about the arms dealer and his bodyguards.

When you go out, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you can have the intention to guard against others.

None of the people from the International Rescue Organization had any objections to this arrangement.

The arms dealer and his three bodyguards had nothing to say.

Although several of them were separated, they could completely understand Su Xiao's approach.

And except for civilians, everyone has been assigned tasks to stand guard, and no one can be lazy. This is fair.

At this time, the middle-aged white man took food and water and walked next to Su Xiao.

"I saw that you were busy and didn't get the food, so I brought it for you."

Su Xiao took the food and water from the middle-aged white man and thanked them.

"No, we are the ones who should express our gratitude," the middle-aged white man sat down next to Su Xiao and said hesitantly, "Mr. Su, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"what do you wish to ask?"

"During the day, you said you were from Shuguang Military Company, so why are you here?"

Su Xiao didn't hide it, because he felt there was nothing to hide: "Kidnapping your rebels and stealing our things, it's that simple."

"Are you and those two ladies the only ones in your company?"

"Of course not, we..." Su Xiao originally wanted to say that there were dozens of people in his company, but when he looked into the eyes of the middle-aged white man, he immediately realized that the other person must have a purpose for asking this.

After thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "I just came here to pick up something. There is no need to send so many people."

The middle-aged white man didn't notice Su Xiao's ambiguity. He nodded, and then asked: "Then do you accept a long-term protected employment contract?"

Su Xiao reacted quickly and understood why the middle-aged white man asked that question just now.

"Long-term protection? You mean you guys?"

The middle-aged white man touched his somewhat bald head.

"Yes, we operate in various provinces of Bolivia. I am ashamed to say that in the past we were very resistant to private military companies because we felt that we were healers and were neutral. No party in the war would regard us as enemies. , so there is no need to bring weapons and hire private military companies to protect us."

"But after experiencing what happened today, I realized that our previous ideas were wrong, so if

If you are willing to accept it, I would like to hire you to protect us for a long time. "

Lidya Su did not agree immediately, but pondered.

"Well... I need to know first where you are mainly operating. You know there are several forces in Bolivia. For example, the anti-government forces you encountered today are one of them."

"If you spend most of your time within the sphere of influence of the government forces, then it's not bad. After all, the government forces are among all the forces in Bolivia, so they are pretty good."

"But if you go deep into the territory of the rebels and the Shining Group like you did today, it doesn't mean you can't do it, but the employment fee will be quite high."

"You have seen with your own eyes what the rebels look like today. As for the Shining Group, I can tell you clearly that those guys are more beastly than the rebels."

"These guys who come into contact with Shining are all out-and-out lunatics. Telling them about ethics and morals is all nonsense. The only sound they can understand is the sound of bullets."

"So if you go to the sphere of influence of the latter two... it's not impossible, but I have two conditions:"

"First, when operating on territory controlled by the anti-government armed forces and the Shining Group, all actions must be under the command of our people. If our people feel that certain actions are too dangerous and must retreat, then you must execute them. ;"

"Second, you have to add money."

The middle-aged white man was silent.

He could understand the intention of these two requests made by Su Xiao.

To put it simply, I hope that they will not let the Glory of the Holy Mother break out, and then help everyone regardless of cost, even if it costs their own lives.

Instead, you should do things to the best of your ability.

The middle-aged white man could understand what Su Xiao meant, but he couldn't agree with it.

"I cannot differentiate between the civilians of this country. All of them deserve our help. This is what we came to this country to do and we cannot live up to that ideal."

Su Xiao nodded and acknowledged: "Of course your ideal is correct, but one thing I also hope you can understand is that if you die or are injured, then you will have no way to help others, even if you can help Even if you get it, it can’t be helped.”

The middle-aged white man was silenced by Su Xiao's words, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Su Xiao smiled and continued to persuade in a gentle tone.

"Your organization is just a non-profit organization, and you don't have enough people. It's impossible to help everyone. Moreover, I will say something that you may not like to hear."

"What you are doing now is indeed great and worthy of my admiration, and I also believe that everyone will be in awe after hearing your deeds."

"But please note that I am saying no."

"Your contribution is indeed indelible, but please also pay attention to an objective fact, that is, your approach can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"You have helped those civilians. These actions are certainly worthy of praise, but no matter how many civilians you help, there will be more suffering civilians."

"In the final analysis, no matter how hard you try, the fact is that you can only take care of those people you can see. As for those you can't see, you can't help."

Su Xiao noticed that the middle-aged white man's face was becoming increasingly ugly. He added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm just stating an objective fact."

"As long as the situation in Bolivia does not change, and as long as there are still so many forces in Bolivia, more and more civilians will need your rescue, and you will never be able to save everyone."

Finally, Su Xiao stepped forward and gently patted the middle-aged white man on the shoulder.

"In my motherland, there is a saying that "only by preserving yourself can you destroy your enemies."Modify this sentence and it will apply to you as well. "

"Only if you protect yourself first and confirm your own safety can you better help more people."

The middle-aged white man was silent for a long time, and finally he was convinced.

"I think you're right."

Just when the two of them finished talking, Lucy, who was leaning on the huge wheel of a truck, suddenly shouted to Su Xiao.

"Su, there's something going on!"

Hearing Lucy's voice, Su Xiao briefly comforted the middle-aged white man, and then quickly walked to Lucy's side.

"what happened?"

Lucy turned the laptop in her arms so that Lidya Su could see it.

The picture on the laptop screen showed a large group of armed men approaching their location in the wilderness a few kilometers away.

Su Xiao could tell at a glance that all those militants were anti-government armed militia.

Lidya Su’s brows wrinkled slightly.

Looking at the direction they were heading, it was clearly heading towards the place where they were currently camping.

However, what puzzles Lidya Su is...

"How did they know we were in this position?"

However, now is obviously not the time to dwell on this issue.

Lucy said anxiously: "Su, should we notify everyone of the transfer?"

"You can't avoid what's coming," Su Xiao shook her head, "You go and notify the international rescue organization."

People, ask them to gather here, and don't forget the arms dealer and his three bodyguards. "

……

Soon, the people Su Xiao was looking for appeared in front of Su Xiao.

The middle-aged white man first asked: "Mr. Su, what happened?"

"There is a large group of anti-government armed militiamen approaching us. They are only a few kilometers away from us."

The arms dealers were the first to become anxious.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get everyone on the run."

Su Xiao glanced at this "defeatist counselor".

No, can this guy stop thinking about running away every time?

Zhu Bajie is reincarnated, right?

He always thinks about breaking up.

He ignored the arms dealer and turned to look at the middle-aged white man: "What do you think?"

"Looking at it like this, they seem to be coming towards us. I don't think we can escape."

The middle-aged white man's thoughts are also Su Xiao's thoughts.

He nodded in agreement.

"If those who come are not good and kind, we will kill them, leaving only one alive so that we can press for more information. I have finished speaking. Who is in favor and who is against?"

People at international aid organizations listen to middle-aged white men.
