Longmen Memoirs

Chen Moyi had something to say.

"Vice Captain Crow?" He looked at Crow.

"Are you sure you want to live with me?" Crow asked, "Isn't it appropriate? [*&

Chen Mo looked away and looked at the one-eyed wolf. He ignored it and looked at the grizzly bear.

"Grizzly?"

Just as the grizzly bear was about to nod, the one-eyed wolf calmly poked the grizzly bear in the waist with his elbow.

"This, captain..."

"Tsk..." Chen Mo let out a light tut, and finally his eyes fell on the sorcerer's shocked body.

A sound of interference sounded from under the hood.

"I'm good."

Fortunately, the magician's popularity doesn't seem to be very good.

Chapter 43 I am your captain

[They wanted to train me into a bloodless and tearless assassin. It’s amazing, but they almost succeeded. 】

------

In the end, Chen Mo failed to squeeze into his little nest with the magician. The narrow bed probably couldn't bear the weight of two people, and the magician looked like he was even poorer than Chen Mo.

He couldn't bear it and spent his first night in the small town in the car.

It was early in the morning the next day, and he drove to the station while biting into the local specialty hawkbill pancakes from a roadside stall. The taste of the pancakes reminded him of the hand pancakes on Longmen Street when he was a child.

Siman was slightly surprised by Chen Mo's arrival.

When Chen Mo saw Siman, he was carefully pouring something from the jar in his hand into the cup. When he noticed Chen Mo's gaze, he opened his mouth to explain.

"Yan Guo roasted tea, authentic product, a gift given to me by the city lord, tastes much better than coffee, but most people don't have the chance to enjoy it, want some?" He asked, showing the jar to Chen Mo.

"No, thank you." Chen Mo declined and reminded: "I am from the Yan Kingdom."

"I forgot."

Siman put away the jar with satisfaction, put it back in the drawer, and picked up the boiling kettle on the table to brew.

The heat filled the air and the tea leaves floated. He moved slowly. If it weren't for the uniform on his body, he would have looked like a refined nobleman.

"Having trouble?"

He thought Chen Mo was in trouble and rushed over to ask for help. He didn't expect that Chen Mo could gather everyone in one night, even though he hurried out after getting the information without even having time to arrange accommodation.

In Siman's impression, this was a somewhat impatient young man.

"No, everything goes well. I have gathered the team."

Siman looked at Chen Mo in surprise. "So you are now?"

"Tasks are the most convenient way to get to know each other."

"That's a good idea..." Siman took a sip of the tea in the ceramic cup and asked slowly: "So you came to me to ask for a task?"

"If it's appropriate."

"Then you came at the right time. I just received a commission here a few days ago. I was worried that there was no suitable candidate, so I planned to contact the branch to send someone over." He stood up and searched among the pile of documents on the table. , and after a while he picked out a document and handed it to Chen Mo.

"have a look."

Chen Mo took it and unfolded it, while Siman sat leisurely on his chair.

After a few minutes, Chen Mo closed the document.

The content of the document was an investigation commission. In name, a nearby lord lost a small transport team. He suspected that it was caused by a bandit along the way, so he hired Black Steel to send a team to investigate, but The mission notes requested an elite team.

"How about it?"

"You said you planned to contact the branch?"

"I can't find anyone here who can fulfill this order."

"It's just a simple reconnaissance mission that shouldn't be so troublesome."

"But you have to know that the client who hired this order is a lord. A month ago, local residents discovered a shallow source mine near the Hechang Basin. The vein happened to be at the junction of the two lords' fiefdoms. "

"So this is not an investigation commission, is it?"

"In Black Steel's view, this is an investigation contract. In principle, we have no intention to intervene in any war or regional conflict between local lords, but if the client just happens to lose something, and they think it was stolen by the sand bandits, Therefore, we have reason to accept their entrustment and go to investigate." Siman tapped the ear of the cup in his hand with his knuckles: "This is a very common thing in Sargon, and you will encounter it often in the future."

"Okay, but I gotta know what do we need to do?"

"If you accept this contract, I will contact the client here. After meeting at the meeting place designated by the other party, you may be able to ask them in person."

"In other words, you don't know either."

"Ha, if you want to know, you have to find out for yourself. This is how Sargon and our group of mercenaries survive here." Siman said, and his dense beard made him look more serious: "Remind me again. Please tell me, this is not the headquarters, and the stuff from the headquarters won’t work in Sargon.”

"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Chen Mo said, and then asked: "When should we set off?"

"Have you decided?"

"It's just an investigation mission, so there's no need to think twice, right? You also said that we have to explore it ourselves. I think it makes sense. After all, we are just mercenaries." Chen Mo said, changing his words: "But my team There are a group of weird guys here, and they may not adapt to the life in the station, so we will find a suitable base in the city."

"Your team..." Siman looked at Chen Mo standing in front of him, thought for a few seconds, and nodded: "No problem, just don't disappear suddenly."

"Since the chief has agreed, do you think we should allocate some funds and supplies?"

Siman looked at Chen Mo who said this strangely.

"Black Steel does not stipulate the need to allocate funds to teams that establish their own strongholds. This is your voluntary behavior, so it doesn't work. But for supplies, you can apply for this from the logistics."

……

"Then you accepted this commission?"

The location was a small house in the east of the city that Crow Crow found. Chen Mo reported to the station in the morning, and they were responsible for moving it.

The rent money was borrowed by Chen Mo from Crow Crow.

"I'll pay you back after I've paid the allowance. I'm the captain, so I can still rely on you."

This is what Chen Mo said at that time, in the eyes of Crow with extreme suspicion.

In the end, he failed to get funds from Siman, and even his condition of exchanging supplies for money was rejected by Siman.

He asked for two boxes of various crossbows from the station, two boxes of various general tactical grenades, five sets of tactical communication equipment, five sets of new summer and winter uniforms, and maps of the Waifan Alliance's controlled areas, plus various maintenance. Tools, several ropes and small electronic equipment, battlefield first aid medicines, and various daily necessities, including a reconnaissance drone.

Fortunately, the car borrowed from the branch was not repossessed.

Now these have been moved to the living room of the house. The map that Chen Mo asked for from the station is hung on the wall of the living room, and the stacked supply boxes are placed in the center.

Chen Mo felt helpless when he thought of the logistics operators looking at them like thieves when they brought these things back.

"There is no other way. Everyone has proposed this task. I can't refuse it. Do we still want to hang out here in the future?"

Chen Mo sighed and sat in the main seat, with crows and shocks on both sides, and grizzly bears and one-eyed wolves on the other side.

"Don't tell me you can't see it."

"Of course I can see that the commander of the station wants to try our skills, but to be honest, I also want to see your abilities." Chen Mo looked around the room with a simple layout: "People have reasons to do this, we We are new here, and if we do well, it will be beneficial to future development. Of course, our status is not suitable for staying in the station, so this is the condition. I made it very clear before, if possible, I don’t think anyone would want to do this. Get through it.”

Raven sighed.

"So what are you going to do?"

"You have also seen the content of the mission. What I mean is that it is impossible to refuse now. Even if we can refuse this mission, there will still be another one, and the next one, or we will simply be forgotten here." Chen Mo said : "So I think I should complete this investigation mission. What do you think?"

"I have no problem with that," Crow replied.

"I'm the same as the vice-captain."

"Don't look at me, you are the captain." The one-eyed wolf looked away. As for Zhenbao, when he was about to speak, Chen Mo waved his hand.

Shock kept his mouth shut, but the meaning was clear.

"In that case, let's get ready." Chen Mo looked at his watch: "We will set off in 10 minutes."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the crow.

"Where is my room?"

"I'll take you there."

Crow stood up.

"How did you allocate it?"

"There are three rooms upstairs. Me, you, and Shockwave live upstairs. One-Eyed Wolf and Grizzly Bear live downstairs. I'm opposite you, and next door is Shockwave's room."

Following Crow up to the second floor, he opened the door at the end of the corridor and stood at the door.

Chen Mo looked at the empty room, with a wooden bed in the center, and the bed was simply covered with a thin quilt.

"This is?"

"I sold it for you on the way here. If you don't like it, there's nothing you can do about it."

"Thanks." He walked into the room and sat on the bed, "It's not bad, but it looks a little empty."

Crow leaned against the door and his eyes fell on Chen Mo sitting on the bed.

"What do you mean?" she asked suddenly.

"Ok?"

"I understand the reason why you took this mission. Black Steel's code of conduct in Sargon is different from that of the headquarters in Colombia. But what I can't understand is that you clearly know that this mission was specially selected for us by the commander of the station. Why do you still want to take it?"

"Um, you're saying there's something wrong with the commander of the station?"

"Sman Grave, a former Colombian officer, a senior black steel operator, and the commander of the Sargon area. I don't know if he has any problems, but he has lived in Sargon for ten years and said that he and the local lords I don’t believe there’s no involvement.”

"So you think we might have been taken advantage of this time. What's the purpose?"

"There are many purposes, killing people, complicit, and helping people deal with their problems in the name of Black Steel. You know Sargon is very chaotic. There is a lot of wealth here, but this wealth makes this country more chaotic. Sometimes you are Even if you work hard in Colombia for more than ten years, you can't live here for a few months, of course, provided you are smart enough and have no bottom line."

"So after all, it's not about money." Chen Mo took off the heavy knife from his waist and leaned against the bed: "To tell you the truth, I came here also for money. Of course I understand what Siman means, no matter what he is Do we simply think this task is suitable and we want to test our abilities, or do we have other purposes, but it has nothing to do with me, you do his thing and I do mine."

"In other words, Crow, we are not familiar with Siman. He has no reason to embarrass us, and we have not involved his interests. If he still wants to be his own commander, he will not be stupid enough to put several The operator was destroyed here, why not think about the good things, if we are really capable, we might not be able to cooperate with Siman, maybe we will be sent to other areas soon."

"I'm just here to remind you." Crow was noncommittal, and she turned and left the door: "But don't forget, as I said before, I came to Sargon to survive, not to seek death in advance."

The figure of the crow disappeared at the door, and soon there was the sound of a door closing from the other side.

Chen Mo lay on the bed, looking at the gray ceiling.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and everything was peaceful, except for the logo of the black uniform on his body, which was suddenly eye-catching.

He remembered some past events that he had almost forgotten many years ago.

Chapter 44 See if there’s a clue

Walking alone in the wilderness is undoubtedly a very foolish thing to do.

A long journey and an unchanging scenery【|=

The magician is obviously a person who is very good at relieving boredom and loneliness.

Sitting in the back compartment, he effectively acted as a barrier between the one-eyed wolf and the grizzly bear. The sniper's awkward personality made people wonder what to say.

"How far is it?" Chen Mo asked Crow sitting in the passenger seat and unfolding the map.

In Sargon, this relatively primitive way of traveling is the most common choice for travel. It would probably be much more convenient if there was a huge land craft as a logistics support system.

But if Black Steel can get a land speeder, it can't be considered a security company.

"About 27 kilometers, if I go correctly."

"Then pray. This is my first time here. If we go the wrong way, we will have to walk on two legs. God knows how far we have to go."

About 15 minutes later, several eye-catching black dots appeared at the end of the yellow sand and weathered rocks.

Vultures circled in the sky, and the wind stirred up layers of sand.

The car stops.
