King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer -
Chapter 958 - 861: Reinforcements Arrive
Two female students, one named Liu Xiaoli and the other named Ma Wenjing.
Both of them enlisted in the military right after high school as female special forces members. After several years of rigorous training and completing their service, they grabbed the chance to further their studies at the Capital University of Foreign Languages. However, while they were halfway through their studies, someone found them and recommended a job at a travel agency.
There were also two male students, named Fang Bo and Yuan Xiao, who were also students at the Capital University of Foreign Languages, but they were graduate students studying diplomacy.
These four elites had their life paths seemingly set in stone.
However, they ended up being pushed into an on-campus recruitment event at the last minute and were hired by Red Tint International Tourism Company, which claimed to have a registered capital of 5 million but whose actual boss couldn't even come up with 500,000, at an intern's monthly salary of 3500.
They didn't even know what they were supposed to do, receiving only a very general order...
Work diligently, study diligently, observe carefully, and do your utmost to protect.
At first, they truly had no clue about Tong Tong's identity because all of Qiao Liang and Tong Tong's online information had been erased. No one who didn't pay special attention to her could remember there was once a 'Red Tint Little Fatty' on social media.
The most crucial point was, Tong Tong seemed really unreliable!
Her dad was the district bureau chief of the Industry and Commerce Administration, her mom was a chief physician, and her grandparents were retired officials from the Planning Bureau.
This kind of family background wasn't considered very rare in the capital, but it was definitely not common either.
What was peculiar was the execution ability that Tong Tong exhibited...
The travel agency's registered capital was borrowed from a woman akin to a mistress.
The business license was obtained through tears shed before her father.
The funds for the company to scout travel routes in Africa were crowdfunded from a bunch of elderly gentlemen and ladies.
If these were still considered normal, then they racked their brains but couldn't figure out how Tong Tong managed to secure the qualification for outbound tourism.
It was only after they arrived in Africa that they felt Tong Tong's uniqueness.
To sum it up, she was simply too energetic!
From the moment they got off the plane in Kenya, they felt something was off. Right after disembarking, someone picked them up and put them on a private plane, which was piloted by a Swedish Prince.
Upon landing in Ndele, they were greeted and protected by a fully armed troop.
They went to a super resort located in the middle of the savannah. Apart from a bunch of Monaco celebrities vacationing there, they were received by a Dubai Prince and two Princesses.
The Prince named Sayyid was very warm to Tong Tong, as if she could really strike up some big business deal, which made the four domestic elites feel quite surreal.
What was even more unexpected was that after touring the resort, Prince Sayyid actually entrusted his two sisters to Tong Tong, bringing them along to Sangha Town.
Moreover, arriving in Sangha Town, home base for the infamous P·B, Tong Tong acted as though she was returning home, greeting everyone she met. Even the street dogs got a kick from her—but somehow, it seemed like everyone liked her.
The four of them might have been out of the loop, but they had still heard of the recently famous P·B company.
Only then did they realize that the 'Africa Big Brother' Tong Tong talked about might just be the legendary Hu Lang rumored online to stir up storms in the Middle East.
Believing they had found the core of their mission, they perked up and started to follow Tong Tong around Sangha Town, contributing a little to the local epidemic prevention work.
The sudden appearance of the 'delegated squadron' startled them...
We're not spies after all...
This must be an outpost for some related department in Africa...
That Devil Bird looked Middle Eastern, she could even be one of our own Uighur girls...
The group let their imaginations run wild, not guessing a single thing correctly.
Facing Tong Tong's question, Liu Xiaoli gave an embarrassed smile, and then glanced at 'Monkey,' who didn't seem to remember her. She hesitated, then said, "Military training was 4 years ago, I might have mistaken you for someone else."
'Monkey' seemed to recall something upon hearing this; he looked carefully at the faces of Liu Xiaoli and Ma Wenjing, then nudged 'Rooster' beside him with his eyes...
'Rooster,' a retired staff officer who had spent nearly a year in Libya, how could he possibly know the ins and outs of things back in China?
He shrugged his shoulders indicating he didn't know or care, then turned to Nis saying, "Ma'am, our men need a day to rest.
Tomorrow we can enter the river to get familiar with the terrain and patrol boat operations; we'll need someone to assist us..."
Nis nodded, glanced at Belic beside her, and said, "Arrange a place for them to rest and issue each a set of jungle gear.
Tomorrow let the patrol team liaise with them. Don't go too far; we'll be transporting medicines into the jungle in a few days."
'Rooster' was the proactive type; as he walked away, he replied, "Do you need our help with that?"
Nis hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Then arrange for some of you to follow the patrol team and deliver goods along the river. This way, getting familiar with it might even be quicker."
As she spoke, Nis turned towards 'Monkey' and continued, "Our boss has specifically mentioned you all. The situation over in Congo is not too good right now.
Those should be the men arranged by G·I·D company. They want to drive us out of that jungle to collect samples of hybrid coca plants.
Our people have clashed with them many times and have suffered a bit due to the virus issue.
If you are willing, I will have someone fly you in by helicopter."
'Monkey' had been waiting for this day for who knows how long. His eyes suddenly lit up, and after pondering with his head down for a moment, he said, "We need frontline data. Enemy surveillance footage would be even better, if available.
"We need to regroup for a day, change our equipment, and if possible, I'd like to borrow your propeller airplane to do some field reconnaissance," said 'Monkey' with a steely look in his eyes.
As he spoke, 'Monkey' coldly said: "Our goal isn't just to fight, we need to capture prisoners alive, and after interrogation, involve the behind-the-scenes G·I·D Company."
Upon hearing this, Nis frowned and said, "We're used to checking for survivors after the fight..."
'Monkey' was momentarily taken aback, then he realized what Nis meant...
P·B has a bunch of old monsters, and for them to capture someone alive is simple, but they have too few hands, and it's troublesome to have a prisoner with them.
It's no problem for Night Tiger to rush over and grab one or two people then retreat, but that's not really helping.
Everyone's cooperation isn't official in nature, and Night Tiger's actions carry a hint of personal vendetta. If he only considers himself and not P·B, Night Tiger's position will be very awkward in the future.
Seeing Nis's cool gaze, 'Monkey' hesitated for a moment and said, "We need at least three to five living prisoners, and preferably white."
But you're right; we could fight first and then see..."
Nis looked at 'Monkey' and nodded slightly, "We never risk our own people. You might have some misunderstandings about Africa; we don't always need solid evidence to act.
There are many ways to strangle a pharmaceutical company..."
Used to operating within the rules, 'Monkey' was stunned for a moment, but eventually let out a wry smile, saying, "I want revenge, not to destroy a pharmaceutical company, but to drag out those who led those horrifying experiments and kill them.
This company has nearly 20,000 employees; I need to distinguish clearly, otherwise, there could be accidents."
Nis, accustomed to mingling with Qiao, was not very receptive to 'Monkey's' way of thinking; in her mind, if a pharmaceutical company had an issue, they should go after their boss, not fishing in troubled waters at the bottom.
However, Nis was not one to idle talk, and she shook her head slightly, "You do your thing. My only request is that once you're there, you follow the command of our people."
'Monkey' pondered for a moment, then nodded earnestly, "No problem, we also need to adapt and be led. Having a veteran command us in front is definitely better than going at it alone."
As he spoke, 'Monkey' glanced at 'Thorn' next to Nis, and after furrowing his brow in thought, he said, "I've seen 'Spider,' and it seems I've seen you too?"
'Thorn' grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, "The scar on your hand is from the little snake I let bite you. What, you want revenge?"
'Monkey' stared fearlessly at the terrifyingly faced 'Thorn', stating, "No, we're not enemies; the people of G·I·D Company are.
What I want to ask is, is the commander ahead the same type of person as you?"
'Thorn' rarely received such serious treatment and toned down his monstrous smile, nodding, "It's 'Silt' and 'Tree Demon,' they are a bit more ruthless than me. Better put away any Boys Scout ideas, or it will end up like Guinea."
'Monkey' understood what 'Thorn' was implying; in the jungle, only those who stay alive have the right to discuss anything else.
Once, he and his comrades in Guinea didn't understand this, and as a result, their losses were substantial.
The jungle is unlike any other place, with its survival pressure greater even than desert areas.
Those accustomed to jungle warfare are usually more cunning and more vicious. In the jungle, any encounter is a close-range one, and the merciless stand firm.
There isn't much chatter between enemies; a moment of inattention can be fatal.
To move freely in the jungle like a fish in water, one must adapt to the jungle, embrace it, and merge with it.
'Monkey' looked at 'Thorn's' ugly face, extended his hand for a handshake, and said, "I'm taking your advice, thank you!"
After saying this, 'Monkey' glanced at 'Rooster' next to him and the sponsored teams; he hesitated, then told 'Thorn', "They are here for combat training exercises."
Upon hearing this, 'Thorn' let out a wild laugh, "Then they've come to the right place, we've got plenty of trouble lately.
Are you sure they can handle it? There will be casualties!"
'Monkey', looking at 'Thorn's' strange demeanor, gritted his teeth and nodded, "No problem, that's what they're here to do!"
Nis saw that 'Thorn' wanted to intimidate 'Monkey' further, she shook her head slightly, "The sponsored soldiers will temporarily join the patrol teams, let the anteater pair up and give mutual guidance with them.
Our patrol fleet also fights frequently..."
Having said that, Nis no longer paid attention to the people present. She turned around, pulling Tong Tong, who wanted to take photos with Night Tiger, and said shaking her head, "Let's go home!"
Upon hearing this, Tong Tong sighed regretfully, waved to the People's Liberation Army uncles, then turned and hooked her arm in Nis's, chirping happily, "Sister-in-law, could you get Dragon Gecko to make me one of those fragrant pouches you wear?
I've been bitten by mosquitoes these past few days and can't sleep..."
Nis nonchalantly nodded, "I'll talk to Dragon Gecko about it, but don't go around giving them out generously, those pouches are not easy to make."
When Tong Tong heard this, she laughed, "No problem, I just want two, one for me, one for Qiao Liang.
You wouldn't think it, but despite how tall he is, he's really scared of mosquitoes...
Hey, sister-in-law, when will this virus outbreak end? I still want to visit the Virunga Volcano resort.
Prince Sayyid has made it sound magical, and I need to take lots of photos to attract tourists to join my tour...
I'm telling you, I plan to run high-end private tours, charging a good ten or eighty thousand per trip; I'm sure I'll make a fortune next year..."
Nis looked at Tong Tong who was always dreaming of wealth and thought about the chaotic situation in Congo. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Just be a bit careful when recruiting your clients..."
Curious, Tong Tong asked, "Careful about what?"
Spreading her hands, Nis replied, "Anyone wanting to go to Congo in the next few months needs to be brave and in good health..."
