Gin likes me?

As for Vermouth, although Uozuka Saburo was unable to confront Vermouth on many issues due to his personal stance, this woman's performance gradually made Uozuka Saburo trust her more.

"can."

Hearing Uozuka Saburo's tone without any wavering, Rum did not show any reaction, but continued speaking in a calm and low voice.

"In fact, the objectives of these three missions are the same."

"When you, Vodka, broke into the battlefield and caused chaos, attracting the attention of others, there was another team in the organization that went deep into the central mine of the battlefield and took the rare metals inside the mine."

"The mine in the center of the battlefield?"

His pupils contracted slightly. As someone who had experienced this mission twice, although he had never understood the organization's goals, he was very familiar with the authorities' battlefield environment.

"If I remember correctly, the main reason for this battle was because of the central mine, right?"

"That's right. To be more precise, it's because our organization and some other organizations want to obtain the metal in that mine that this battle broke out and has continued until now."

"I see. This is indeed the style of the organization."

Although he grinned, Uozuka Saburo's heart became even more depressed.

He found that he had underestimated the organization's cruel style of action.

I originally thought that the many exaggerated actions carried out in Japan and Magnesium were already excessive enough, but compared to what Rum told me today, it was nothing.

He actually started a war just because of his own needs?

When he thought of this, Saburo Uozuka couldn't help but recall the scenes he saw the previous two times he was on the battlefield.

Even as a killer, when Uozuka Saburo assassinated his target, he treated him as a human being and ended his life.

But on that kind of battlefield, in the face of that level of death, the concept of being human had already been confused and lost.

Damn it!

The anger in his heart was already burning, but Uozuka Saburo still managed to control his emotions well.

"Well, since you took the initiative to find me, I think this mission is not something I can refuse. Besides, I have done it twice, so this time is not a big deal. I will accept it."

"I knew that I would be most reassured to entrust this kind of mission to you, Vodka."

He smiled and nodded. This was what Rum was most satisfied with about Vodka.

Although he has strong strength and extensive connections, Uozuka Saburo is always able to find his own position in the organization. Although he looks a little arrogant at ordinary times, he never refuses to do what he should do.

"But this time the operation is a little different. You don't have to just create chaos on the periphery like before. You need to go directly to the mining area with the collection team organized by the Magnesium Country to bring back the metals."

"Why is it different this year? Didn't the mission go smoothly in previous years?"

He looked at Rum with some confusion. You know, according to Rum's previous style, he rarely let Saburo Uozuka come into contact with members of the Magnesium organization.

"Today's war situation has become a little intense. The organization in Magnesium Country is worried that the mission will not be carried out smoothly, so they want to borrow you."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, Rum would certainly not leave out an explanation for such a thing.

"After all, there are many assassins in our organization, but when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, no one can compare to you, Vodka."

"Hehe, I will be proud if you praise me like this."

Touching the back of his head and laughing twice, Uozuka Saburo didn't really care too much about Rum's compliment.

This old fox has to think carefully about every word he says to be able to guess what he wants to express.

If you are not careful, you will be tricked by him. Uozuka Saburo will not believe what Rum says.

"Okay, I'll take this mission, but you have to talk to the big sister, Mr. Rum. I'm working for the big sister now. If I take this kind of mission without telling her, she'll be angry."

"Don't worry, I will talk to Gin about this. This is also an order from the boss, and Gin will not stop it."

"It's the boss's order."

He repeated the sentence somewhat stupefiedly, then Uozuka Saburo pretended to be curious and pulled his chair closer to Rum.

"Mr. Rum, can you tell me why the organization values ​​that metal so much? What is it used for?"

"Well, at your level, it doesn't matter if you reveal a little."

Feeling the beard on his chin, Uozuka Saburo felt something was wrong as soon as Rum said this.

He was just trying to maintain his own image and express his curiosity in a disguised way.

According to Rum's previous style, he would not explain too much to himself about the orders given directly by the boss.

But unfortunately, Rum looked like he was ready to have a serious talk with him, so now Uozuka Saburo could only grit his teeth and listen carefully.

"That metal is used by the research department of the Magnesium Organization for important research. Because it is difficult to purchase from other channels, this mining area is very important to our organization."

"Conducting research? Do we have that here in Neon?"

"No, it's just the Magnesium Organization. Although both our organizations are conducting research, the directions of the research are somewhat different."

With his neck slightly tilted, Rum said something in a very ethereal tone that made Uozuka Saburo stop asking questions.

"I won't tell you more about this part of the news. When your performance makes the boss full of praise, Vodka, the boss will take the initiative to find you."

"I see. I understand. It seems I still need to work hard to perform well."

With a smile and a nod, Saburo Uozuka did not take the folder. He put out the cigarette in Rum's ashtray, stood up and straightened his coat.

"I've accepted the mission. Please contact me when you are ready to set off, Mr. Rum."

"Well, Gin can't go with you on this mission. The Neon Organization needs someone to stay behind to guard the place. But besides Gin, you can select other people from the organization as helpers."

"Also, this operation is being carried out together with members of the organization in Magnesium Country. You should also pay attention to some things."

"Be more careful? Will they cause trouble for me?"

"No, I mean, don't scare them."

Shaking his head in amusement, Rum felt that Saburo Uozuka's evaluation of him from the members of the Magnesium Organization was not clear enough.

"They wouldn't dare mess with you."

"Got it. I'll be leaving now."

. . .

"Again? Rum really likes to use you. But it's also true that among the current members of the Neon Organization, there really is no one who can take on this kind of troublesome task."

Stroking his chin, Kimura Taka expressed his agreement and regret for the new mission proposed by Uozuka Saburo.

Although such tasks are important, the operations they can intervene in are too small.

Not to mention anything else, just the battlefield experience alone is enough to defeat Kogoro Mori, Kasa Aso and others.

Maybe Daimon Yuxing can still perform well, but after all, they are all adapted to urban warfare. If they are suddenly sent to the battlefield, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Even though Kogoro Mori had worked with Uozuka Saburo and his men and had experienced small-scale battles, his mission at the time was only to provide sniper support and firepower assistance on the high ground that had been prepared long ago.

"That's about right. Rum told me to choose someone, but I think it would be more convenient for me to act on my own."

"Are you going to act on your own? I think you'd better bring someone with you if possible. After all, if you are the only member of Neon in this operation, you seem a little outnumbered. Of course, I know that sometimes the number of people doesn't mean much, especially for a pervert like you."

"It's too much to say you're perverted, but you do have some truth in what you said. It would be more convenient to bring someone along... Well, let's take Chianti."

"Huh? It's Chianti. I think it would be better if you bring Cohen with you."

"No, it's Chianti. This time the battlefield environment doesn't have any large open areas, which means that high-level snipers are not needed. Compared with Cohen, who currently only specializes in sniping, Chianti's changed style is undoubtedly more suitable for battlefield operations."

"Chianti's style, you're right. Apart from you, there shouldn't be anyone more suitable than Chianti in the organization right now."

Thinking about the changes in Chianti over the past six months, Kimura Ying was speechless.

After joining the organization for so many years, this was the first time he encountered a member of the organization who would carry a full load of individual grenade launchers, rockets, grenades, smoke bombs, etc. before going out on a mission.

"But that woman is a little crazy. Are you sure it won't be bad to take her with you?"

"It's okay. Chianti is still very obedient in front of me. I can suppress her."

"Okay then, just take Chianti with you?"

"That's right. Chianti alone is enough. It would be inconvenient if there were too many people. I also have important things to do in this operation."

"That metal, huh? I started investigating right after I got the news, but I didn't find any useful information."

Quickly catching up with Uozuka Saburo's train of thought, Kimura Taka showed the tacit understanding between them as colleagues of many years.

"It doesn't matter. After this operation is over, I will definitely take some back. Then I will let Ayako and her laboratory study it secretly to see what's so special about this metal."

"Metal alone may not be enough. Didn't you say that this metal is used by the organization in Magnesium for research? Our organization in Japan doesn't need it. What I'm curious about now is that if the research project of the organization in Japan is the so-called 'eternal life' that Miss Shirley is in charge of, then what is the organization in Magnesium responsible for?"

"...Do you think there is another possibility, Kimura?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and as he thought of some of Vermouth's situations and his own experiences and knowledge in the organization over the years, Uozuka Saburo expressed the most likely guess in his mind.

"What Shiho has researched may just be a guess in the manual left by her parents. It is something she discovered completely by chance."

"And the organization in Magnesium Country is researching the 'eternal life' that the organization has always been pursuing?"

"this..."

657: Some trouble

"This is Africa. This is my first time here."

Wearing camouflage combat uniforms that are convenient for movement in the jungle, with a bulging combat bag on his back and another combat bag in his hand, Chianti looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest.

"You only find it interesting now. In less than three days, you will be bored with everything in front of you."

Looking at Chianti with amusement, Saburo Uozuka, who only had a combat bag on him, slowly turned his gaze towards a white man who was standing in front of an off-road vehicle not far from where he and Chianti got off the plane and was waving to him.

After receiving the task from Rum, Saburo Uozuka did not waste any time.

After informing Suzuki Ayako and Hagiwara Chisu about his itinerary, and receiving the notification from Kurosawa Hotaru that she already knew about it, Uozuka Saburo immediately found Chianti and took her to the organization's training base for some one-on-one turning training before Rum asked the two to set off.

Saburo Uozuka was not worried about Chianti's shooting skills. This training was mainly to cultivate Chianti's and his own tacit understanding and cooperation when fighting in the jungle, as well as how to communicate and deal with some common situations on the battlefield.

Wild jungle combat is different from urban combat.

Chianti's mission this time is not as simple as finding a suitable sniper point, setting up the sniper rifle, and waiting for Saburo Uozuka to lure the target to the shooting location.

Fortunately, Chianti had a good talent in this area. After Uozuka Saburo spent almost a week on intensive training, Chianti's performance was already quite good.

Around this time, a notification came from Rum announcing the start of the mission, informing them of the location and transportation method that Uozuka Saburo and his team needed to reach.

They flew directly from Neon to a city 500km away from the target area, and then found the "wilderness airport" that the organization had prepared in advance. After getting the equipment that Uozuka Saburo and Chianti had reported in advance, they took a small plane that looked a little shabby but had no problem with safety and flew to the nearest "airport" outside the dangerous area of ​​the battlefield.

Then, we saw the member of the organization who was responsible for picking up Uozuka Saburo and Chianti.

"Vodka, Chianti, I'll pick you up."

Seeing Uozuka Saburo and Chianti coming over with things, the white man nodded, obviously not wanting to help or communicate more.

After opening the trunk and watching the two people put their things away, the man quickly sat in the driver's seat. With a roar of the engine, he rushed into the jungle like a wild beast.

"Have all the members of the organization from Magnesium arrived yet?"

Although the man looked like he didn't want to communicate, Uozuka Saburo didn't let go of the idea.

Saburo Uozuka had already read and memorized most of the information provided by Rum, but there were some situations that he could only judge after arriving at the scene.

"Everyone has arrived."

He nodded slightly, looking as if he didn't want to answer anyone, but in response to Uozuka Saburo's question, the man obviously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his tone was a little unnatural, but he answered Uozuka Saburo's question very quickly.

"Oh, several people, who are they?"

His eyes narrowed slightly behind the sunglasses. Feeling the man's strange attitude towards him, Uozuka Saburo also moved his body and turned his head from the passenger seat to look at the man driving.

As Uozuka Saburo's tone changed, Chianti, who was chewing gum like a child at the back, narrowed his eyes, took out the pistol from the magazine on his waist very naturally, and pulled the holster to load the pistol without any concealment.

"There are eight people in total, three of whom are members of the research team, and the remaining five are action members organized in Magnesium Country. They all have wine names, and two of them are elite cadres!"

Hearing the sound of a pistol being loaded from behind him, the man's speech speed increased significantly, his hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his original calm expression completely disappeared.

"What's the officer's name?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know about that. My job is just to pick you up here. After I drop you off, I will leave and wait for your next summons."

Shaking his head cautiously, the man became nervous, fearing that his answer would displease Saburo Uozuka.

"I only know that the member of the operation team who was in charge of connecting with me named his drink Hell Tequila!"

"Tequila Inferno."

After repeating the name softly, Saburo Uozuka leaned back into the passenger seat. At the same time, Chianti in the back put away his pistol and looked at the scenery outside the window boredly while chewing gum in his mouth.
