from night city

The group continued to move forward, and after about 100 meters, several wooden buildings outside the gold mine came into view.

Su Xiao clenched her fist again and signaled everyone to stop.

He said on the communication channel: "Team Alpha has arrived."

After a while, Mitch, who walked around to the other side of the gold mine from the other direction, also responded: "The Beta team has also arrived."

"Sniper?"

"Snipers are ready to fire."

Su Xiao once again used the tactical eyepiece to scan the buildings ahead.

Check the conditions inside.

"Pay attention, the enemies are sleeping in the two outermost buildings, but the workers are living in the shack in the middle. Be careful not to accidentally injure them."

"Received"xN

"Sniper, aim at the sentry on the roof of the building, follow my instructions and fire. Others, after the sniper fires, immediately rush into the building and eliminate all enemies without leaving any one behind."

"Now, activate the combat assist enhancer."

"Sniper, fire."

The sentry on the roof of the building suddenly tilted and fell down like a drunken man.

Su Xiao waved his hand, and the two teams rushed into the two outer buildings at an alarming speed.

Then there was a burst of fire and the sound of silenced gunfire.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao and others came out of the building.

Meet in the open space outside.

After confirming that there were no survivors, Su Xiao led the people to the shack in the middle.

Although the weapons of Su Xiao and others were equipped with silencers.

But a silencer doesn't completely silence the sound.

Moreover, it is impossible to isolate the screams of the anti-government militiamen before they die.

Therefore, the laborers in the central shed were awakened by the screams, and they hid in the shed and shivered.

Fortunately, faced with such a situation, Lidya Su had already considered this aspect.

He asked his men to go to the militia's house immediately to get food and water and distribute the food and water.

These workers usually eat very poorly and are not at the same level as these militiamen.

Although it was late at night, I was already hungry.

Seeing Su Xiao's men bringing food and drinking water, his eyes suddenly lit up.

But no one dared to move.

Past experiences and painful lessons taught them.

If they dare to touch that food and water.

The lightest one was a beating.

The serious consequence is that you may lose your life.

So no workers dared to move.

Lidya Su saw their fear.

He asked his men to put food and water on a blanket, and he took the people back 30 meters. He told the workers in Spanish that they should feel free to eat without worrying.

These workers did not trust Su Xiao and Su Xiao's people, but they gradually couldn't resist the hunger in their stomachs.

Finally, one of the workers couldn't help but pick up the food placed on the blanket and ate it in big gulps.

He didn't know if he would be killed. He might be shot immediately, or he might be beaten severely.

But he can't handle that much anymore.

Ever since I was caught here, I have barely had enough to eat.

People who have never been hungry may not understand what it feels like.

Let's put it this way, if you have to choose a way to die, beheading or a lucky death can be considered a mercy.

Starving a person to death is truly cruel.

Unexpectedly, the workers saw Su Xiao and his party and did not stop them.

Seeing this, others gradually became bolder.

Seeing their companions eating so deliciously, they kept swallowing their saliva.

Finally, the second man took action.

If there is a second one, there will naturally be a third and fourth one.

No longer hesitate.

I also gave up thinking.

People follow the crowd, even if they are tortured, ill-treated, or executed, anyway, there are so many people, at most they will die together.

While the workers were devouring the gold, Su Xiao asked Saul from behind to send someone to take over the gold mine. At the same time, he asked Lao Wei and Gloria to come with them.

Su Xiao had no intention of forcing these workers to work for him, but before letting them go, he could ask Lao Wei to see a doctor for them.

Of course, there is no charge.

at this time.

A worker walked towards Su Xiao.

Someone immediately stopped him and warned him not to go any further.

Adecado, who was standing next to Su Xiao, also clenched the weapons in his hands.

As long as the worker acted rashly, his life would be taken.

But Su Xiao waved his hand and asked someone to let him go.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

The laborer glanced fearfully at the Adecados beside Su Xiao: "Dear Sir, are you from the government army?"

"No, we are from Shuguang Military Company."

"Shuguang Military Company?" The worker was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head, "I have never heard of this name."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. All you need to know is that this gold mine now belongs to me. Of course, I am not a robber. In fact, this gold mine was given to me by the president of Bolivia."

"Then, my dear sir, what do you plan to do with us? Are you going to force us to work for you?"

"No need. If you want to leave, you can leave now, but I suggest you wait."

After a pause, Su Xiao continued: "My medical team is already on the way. They will help you check your body and treat you if you are sick."

"We have no money," the worker said.

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to pay, it's free."

The laborer was stunned.

His eyes looked at Lidya Su again.

He noticed that there was no playful or frivolous expression on Lidya Su's face.

Including others too.

He paused and asked hesitantly: "With all due respect, Your Excellency, what is your purpose?"

The purpose is to hope that you can spread the good reputation of yourself and Dawn Military Company. This is Su Xiao's purpose.

But, of course, you cannot say this to the workers in front of you.

Therefore, Su Xiao said without thinking: "There is no purpose, it's just that I think I should do it."

The laborer didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

After much hesitation, he finally made up his mind.

"Your kindness is admirable, Your Excellency. If you don't mind, we are willing to serve you."

Settling down the workers in this gold mine.

Next, Su Xiao led people to capture another gold and copper mine.

After knocking down those two minerals, Su Xiao also left people to protect them and sent patrols to protect the communication lines between these minerals and the capital La Paz.

Everyone knows how important transportation lines are. If there are no transportation lines, then these three mines will be dead.

The three mines need more laborers. If there are not enough people, they can recruit workers from nearby villages. However, Su Xiao's approach is not to recruit more workers like the government forces or anti-government forces.

Instead, pay them a salary.

To be fair, the wages Su Xiao paid them were on a higher level than those in Night City.

But this made the workers desperate.

Because the local standards are insanely lower than those in Night City, even the salary level in Night City is considered high income locally.

Not to mention that Su Xiao is still paid a salary that is higher than that of Night City.

This approach quickly spread the reputation of Shuguang Military Company in nearby villages.

Without even spending too much time, people throughout eastern Bolivia knew that there was a "good man" who hired workers and was willing to give money.

The reason why this good man is put in quotation marks is because Su Xiao feels that when hiring people to do work, they should be paid.

But the local people seemed to really regard Su Xiao and his party as messengers sent by God.

After occupying these three minerals and ensuring the transportation of the transportation lines, Su Xiao and Sol discussed and decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue to attack to expand their sphere of influence instead of just limiting themselves to these three minerals. superior.

Because of their approach, local civilians supported their arrival and even provided them with enemy intelligence.
