Sitting in Wright's transport plane, the two men leaned against the edge of the cabin, and the men beside them did not speak.
Wright brought a batch of AK replicas this time, not many, mainly ammunition and magazines, as well as RPGs. Look at that weird thing at the tail of the cabin.
Wright was in a heavy mood. On another transport plane were Li Zishu's two launch vehicles and a Predator.
Even so, I almost couldn't let it go, and this guy actually brought a convoy with him when he went out.
Do you have to bring your air force with you when you go out now?
Wright looked depressed. " Why did with you?"
After saying that, he pointed at the huge ghost thing.
"Just in case." Li Zishu thought that when he was away from home and there were still warlords around, this thing could save his life.
Dealing with the militia is easy because they have no air defense anyway.
"I have a good relationship with them, so there's no need."
"This is my first contact with them, so I'm prepared."
Wright didn't want to say more, whatever you want.
"You have an airport over there? Why don't you use the 130? Is it a dirt road?"
"You're talking nonsense. I have an airport, of course it's a dirt road. You expect me to build a standard one? How much would that cost? Also, I want to buy a 130, but it's too expensive. I bought this in Wu, and now it's sold out even if I want it."
I just knew that it was a good thing that I didn’t use the global overlord, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come down.
Li Zishu looked at the other person with contempt.
"You still have investments in that shabby place?"
"Of course, it's the second largest country in Africa, with a large population, vast territory, and rich mineral resources. It could have developed well after the civil war ended, but then the east started to riot again. You don't think I plan to work in arms for the rest of my life, do you?
"We can't sell high-end products, so we can only sell low-value-added products. We make very little money a year, and we're blacklisted by various countries," Wright began to complain.
"Are you pretending to be cool?"
Wright gave him a stern look. "Being blacklisted by so many countries is just showing off?"
"This is the reputation of the underground world," Li Zishu smiled.
"We're almost there! I left my stuff at the airport and will take my time packing. First, let's go check out my rustic luxury hotel. There's a small national park over there with picturesque scenery."
"Aren't we going to the capital?"
"Of course not. It's near the border."
“Isn’t it with Rwanda?”
Wright chuckled. "Rwanda, Burundi, at the junction of three countries! Tanzania is not far away."
"You idiot, you choose a place like this and you still want to open a hotel." Eat shit!
Li Zishu looked at the other person angrily.
Rwanda? There are still tribal conflicts there, such as the Tears of the Sun and the Rwandan tribal genocide. We have fought them several times and were never able to win.
It's so brutal over there.
Even pregnant women and children are not spared, although things are a little better now that the peacekeeping forces have arrived.
But it's a mess, especially since it's at the junction of three countries. Isn't it a mess? This kind of place is the most fucked up. The Silver Triangle, the Black Triangle, and the Land Without Borders are all this kind of fucked up places.
Of course, Li Zishu could also understand that this was a paradise of sin and was most suitable for people like Wright. The large and small tribal armed forces in various places were the best market for guns.
After getting off the plane, Li Zishu felt like he had traveled through time. Although he had watched many movies and watched many videos, this place was really poor. Even Lao Fei was better off than here.
The whole place was covered in yellow mud, and the plane landed, raising a cloud of dust.
Under the sunlight, it seems that there is still water vapor rising.
The airport is just a flattened field. Calling it an airport is a huge compliment.
There are so few maintenance personnel that the hangar is not even visible.
“Is this your airport?”
"Yeah, welcome to the third world!" Wright laughed.
The men began to push the ammunition boxes down and sort them aside.
There were many people standing around holding AKs and wearing dirty blue security uniforms.
"Are these your men?" Li Zishu raised his hand and pointed to the side.
"Of course, if you don't hire some people and put up a wire fence around it, you'll see a lot of warm and hospitable locals, mostly women and children."
"Are you here for food?" Li Zishu had seen this in a movie in his previous life. Not only was this place poor, but there were also many diseases, such as malaria and yellow fever. It was not a pleasant thought.
"They want food and money, and they're not picky. Even if you give them a gun and two magazines, they'll be happy. They're very simple!"
Go to hell with your simplicity!
Li Zishu looked around speechlessly and said, "I have decided not to develop influence in Africa."
Just let this fool come, he likes this place anyway.
Li Zishu gave the other person a strange look.
"What do you want to do?" Wright couldn't stand it anymore. The look in his eyes was not right.
The people watching Li Zishu drove down the two launch vehicles.
Light came forward with interest, "Is this the Switchblade Rocket Launcher version?"
Li Zishu nodded. "Do you really want me to send someone here for training? Forget it. I built them a vehicle. It has 32 launchers. They can launch simultaneously or one by one. Two vehicles can launch 64 launchers. It's just like operating a rocket. It's very simple."
"What about operating the drone? Just launch it and forget about it?"
Li Zishu showed a look of disdain, "How much do you think it costs me to train an operator?"
Wright was stunned. Yes, there are very few people who can read here, and the cultural level is very low. Not to mention recognizing words, the only language they can speak is French. The operating interface of Li Zishu is in English.
"Fuck, I forgot. What should I do? Just kick him out and leave him alone?"
“Times are progressing.”
Li Zishu looked away.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's all in fool-proof mode, all done with a tablet console. No manual operation required, it automatically locks on to the attack, and all he has to do is give it a thumbs-up."
Wright opened his mouth wide. Damn it, is this the high-end market?
"AI?"
Li Zishu smiled.
"Is it really intelligent?" Wright looked at the other party stupidly. Don't think I haven't seen a drone. I've even played with one.
"you guess!"
"Oh my God, I feel like I'm going to be eliminated." With this thing, fighting will be magical in the future. No need for people, just fight and don't worry. Holding the tablet is like playing a game, just click to attack and it's done with one click.
Then what do we need these people for?
This guy Li Zishu will definitely be a super boss in the future, no, a super big shot.
Wright suddenly realized that his bet was right.
He can even make such a beastly thing?
"I think he needs to pay more."
Wright nodded stupidly, and indeed he had to pay more.
"Also, you can use my Starlink to strengthen the signal, prevent interference, and provide him with civilian communications, but that will cost extra."
Wright nodded stupidly again, forgetting that this guy also has Starlink.
The other party doesn’t even need to build a base station.
"I'll talk to him. Your stuff is good, can you give me more?"
"Sure, unless you take the goods and sell them yourself. But I have to warn you, you will be targeted by the CIA and will cause me a lot of trouble."
"Forget it then!"
"By the way, what are they doing over there?" Not far from the airport, a group of children were standing outside, all with their upper bodies naked.
Li Zishu was a little curious after seeing it.
"General Harlan's men here are training new soldiers."
"Children?" Li Zishu was a little stunned. Looking at their heights, the tallest was only 1.6 meters tall, and the shortest was only 1.4 meters tall. They were all pale and thin, and their AKs were almost at their waists.
"Yes, I've been training since I was a kid."
A black man in military uniform fired a burst of bullets at the child, leaving Li Zishu stunned.
"Blanks? What is he doing?"
Wright glanced at them indifferently and said, "Give them your blessing." Then he smiled.
Blessings?
Guess whether I believe it or not.
Then, Li Zishu heard a huge roar coming from that side.
“Does it hurt?”
"pain!"
"But you didn't shed blood. You are warriors who are not afraid of death. You are fighting for the prosperity of the tribe. God will bless us!"
“No fear of death!”
Listening to the child's screams, Li Zishu wanted to go over and give the man a volley of bullets. Is this what he calls a blessing? This is clearly a scam!
"Is that what they all do?"
"The tribe recruits soldiers and makes them forget their fear. It's most appropriate to do this when they are children, because adults know it's fake, but children will believe it and stop being afraid. Most tribes do this."
Barbarism and backwardness are indeed the words that describe this place. They even use child soldiers.
Li Zishu felt a little uncomfortable.
"There's nothing we can do. They have to fight for survival. It's fine in peacetime, but once chaos strikes, this is the only way."
"They're not for the tribe, they're for a very small number of people."
"You are a sensible person." Wright smiled.
Li Zishu sighed, "Let's go, it's so dusty here, I want to take a shower."
"Of course, Your Excellency the Godfather!"
"Get lost, call a taxi here quickly."
Following the convoy, Li Zishu sat in the car and watched everything outside.
There are almost no good roads, only one or two.
From time to time, you can see some corporate vehicles carrying a large number of people driving in the opposite direction.
"Is this an evacuation?"
"Yes, many foreign companies are leaving, and things are getting increasingly chaotic."
No wonder you have business.
Li Zishu saw a Wuling Hongguang car with several fellow villagers handing out flyers.
“Stop!”
The driver stepped on it.
A middle-aged man nearby saw the convoy and immediately came over.
Li Zishu rolled down the car window.
"Hello, I didn't expect to see a fellow countryman. Are you here for business or tourism? If you're traveling, you've come to the wrong place. It's better to go west, not east. If you can avoid Gang, don't. Go somewhere else, like Mali, where the civil war is over and things are relatively stable, or another country."
Li Zishu smiled when he heard the other party's advice right away.
"Thank you, I'm here to discuss business."
"Is that so?" The man glanced at Wright beside him and understood. "Stay safe. Many businesses have closed."
"What about you guys? Business people?"
"Yes, most of the cars used by businesses and individuals have left. Only a small number remain."
“Are you from a corporate company?”
"Yes, hold on to the last line, for the country."
Li Zishu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"By the way, fellow, please keep an eye out for us, this is a reward!"
"Reward?" Li Zishu took the flyer. He didn't recognize the words on it, as they were in French.
"Ten thousand dollars, information is fine."
"What's going on? Why are you offering a reward?"
"A couple was murdered. The wife was pregnant, and the husband also died. They were both doing business here. The Chamber of Commerce was very angry and offered a reward in the hope of finding the murderer. We are fine, so we all came out to help distribute flyers. When we are outside, we need to unite."
"What happened here?" Li Zishu narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, it's getting more and more chaotic here. Thefts and robberies are frequent. It will probably get even more chaotic soon. Fighting has already started east of the M23 highway."
"I'll keep an eye on it!"
"Trouble."
"Drive!" Li Zishu glanced at the flyer. "It looks really chaotic. Is your business partner the warlord here?"
Wright nodded.
Li Zishu didn't say anything.
The convoy was still moving, passing through a small town with a simple dirt road and plastic-steel houses on both sides. A group of child soldiers rushed forward with guns and opened fire at some military uniforms not far away.
The movements are quite skillful.
Soon several men in green military uniforms fell, and one of the children, about ten years old, was shot in the neck and fell to the ground.
His eyes stared blankly into the distance.
There were many people around, standing aside. No one went up to rescue, and no one spoke. Some mothers even looked at them blankly and continued to breastfeed.
Indifference or habit, Li Zishu didn’t know what it was, but he knew clearly that there was no hope in the eyes of these people.
Bang, another child soldier fell to the ground. His companions called out a name that Li Zishu couldn't understand, and even reached out to pull him.
He is at the age of going to school, but he is treated as cannon fodder. There is not a single adult soldier here.
Li Zishu watched calmly, thinking of the blank bullet scene at the airport, and how ironic the death before him was.
Your death is just for the rulers here to occupy more territory and make more money. Your death is worthless, and your blood only buys him a delicious lunch.
There is no chaos here, businesses will not leave, public security will not be bad, and that couple from the same hometown will not die.
Is this hell on earth?
It will be even more chaotic and terrifying here in the future!
The convoy arrived at a hotel in the suburbs.
Wright's small property has independent power generation, not many rooms, and is made entirely of wood. There is even a bonfire in the hotel lobby.
The rooms on both sides are made of wood on top and have huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the bottom, like a mushroom.
The architectural style is very unique, Li Zishu likes it very much. It is very clean here, the air quality is very good, and there is a lot of greenery. It is not like a world apart from the previous town.
Li Zishu remembered a saying: Heaven is actually not far from hell.
"Welcome, my friend!" At the entrance of the main hall of the hotel stood a middle-aged man wearing a red beret and a spotless white military uniform. Behind him stood three tall black beauties, and around him were some soldiers armed with guns.
Wright got out of the car and gave the man a hug. "This is my friend Lee!"
"Hello!"
The black man smiled and came over to give him a hug.
Li Zishu put down his hand and just made do with it.
"Wright's friends are my friends, please come in!"
After that, he took Li Zishu and Wright into the hotel. It seemed that this place had been turned into a temporary residence by the general.
Sitting in the courtyard, three black beauties prepared fruit and drinks for them. In the nearby villages and towns, many people couldn't even get enough to eat. This was the reality of the world.
Li Zishu sat aside and looked at the other person.
"Lee has brought you some very useful things this time. With these, you will be able to easily decapitate and even attack the enemy's armored vehicles, artillery, and mortar positions!" Wright began to introduce.
"Really? That's great!" The black man raised his glass to Li Zishu.
Li Zishu calmly picked it up and put it down without drinking it.
"But it will cost a little extra, and my friend wants to use gold instead of diamonds."
"Oh?" The black man frowned.
"This weapon does not require any personnel training. Once launched, it will automatically search for the target according to the direction. You just need to give the command and it will attack autonomously!" Wright explained again.
"Really? Just like in the movies, robots?" The black man found a metaphor.
Li Zishu grinned.
Xiya almost rolled her eyes behind her. It's terrible to be uneducated.
"Yes! My friend said it's automated."
"Okay, if that's the case, I'll pay you in gold. Don't you like diamonds? Many foreigners like them."
That's the biggest scam of the century. There's plenty of that on the Russian side. Li Zishu shook his head. "I prefer gold or the US dollar."
"Haha, I like gold and US dollars too!" The black man took a sip of wine.
After saying that, the black man stood up, raised his hand, and his men handed him a gun.
Nick looked at it and wanted to shake his head, golden AK.
Li Zishu also saw it. At that time in Thailand, the Russian boss also had one.
Is this what everyone's into these days? Is it to show off or just to elevate your status ? Why don't you just paint yourself gold? Do you need to touch up your makeup after a few shots?
"This one is also made of gold. Do you like it?" the black man asked Li Zishu?
"What did he say?"
"He asked you if you like it?" Wright said on the side.
"Come with me, it's quite useful. In fact, if you didn't want the gold, I was going to give you this." The black man pulled out a large pink diamond from his pocket. "It's natural, and the color is very rare. If you sell it, it can fetch at least $10 million."
The black man shook the diamond in his hand and said, "This is from my mine. A thief hid it and didn't hand it in. As a worker, he stole my property. But luckily, I found it!"
The black man took back the diamond and walked with the women to the back of the hotel.
A family of four was tied up there, two men and two women. The older ones were a couple, and the younger ones were probably their children.
The black man handed the AK to a woman behind him, then pulled her in front of him, asked her to hold the gun, and suddenly fired at the man. It was too late .
He didn't put it down until he finished shooting a whole volley of bullets.
His woman laughed and fired the gun.
"Are you happy?"
The woman nodded.
Wright didn't say anything. He was used to this kind of thing.
Li Zishu remained calm as he watched the other man's wife and children throw themselves on the man and burst into tears. While crying, he touched the corpse helplessly.
They dared not curse, let alone get angry.
"Thief, you must be prepared to be punished." After saying that, he handed the golden AK to Li Zishu!
"Want to try it?"
Li Zishu glanced at the other person.
"He asked if you wanted to try it?" Wright translated.
"How do you try?"
Li Zishu took the gun.
The black man pointed at the remaining children and women, his meaning was clear.
The woman immediately fell to the ground and shouted , as if begging for mercy. Unfortunately, the family leader didn't understand a word she said.
"Shoot, don't provoke the other party!" Wright sighed.
Haha, angry?
Li Zishu smiled.
“It’s hell on earth!”
Hearing Li Zishu say this, Wright smiled bitterly.
Thea Hound's expression turned strange.
Nick subconsciously placed his hand on his lower abdomen.
"Let's try it!" Li Zishu raised his gun and suddenly turned sideways.
Bang bang bang bang!
A burst of bullets hit the black general's body, and immediately a large amount of blood appeared.
Bang bang bang!
Nick, the Sea Hound, raised his gun at the same time, "Fire!"
The surrounding guards fell down instantly.
At the same time, there were bang bang bang sounds outside.
The black man's mistress was stunned. An adjutant behind him looked at Li Zishu in horror. Several soldiers behind him immediately dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
For the first time, the adjutant was confused. Everyone who comes here should behave themselves and be honest, even if you are an arms dealer or a big boss. But what about this guy?
How dare you? How dare you? You want to die? Do you know whose territory this is? You lunatic.
Wright covered his forehead with his hands and said, "I knew this would happen."
Are you here again?
Oh my God!
Why don’t you wait until I leave before shooting? I’m becoming your accomplice again. I make money by cooperating with others, but it’s risky to cooperate with you.
