Chapter 5 Lurker Mercenary (2)
"My name is Black Hawk. I used to belong to the US 'OP' special operations group. Now I'm a mercenary, and I make a living by leading these guys. In fact, we just do business with guns. The word businessman seems more appropriate." Black Hawk picked up a glass of red wine, raised it to Zhao Ziyang remotely, and drank it all in one gulp.
Mercenary, battlefield executioner, bloody butcher.
Hearing the word "mercenary", Zhao Ziyang immediately . However, he did not show it, and clenched his fists to hide the murderous intent in the deepest part.
"You are the mercenaries who came from the west of Lop Nur." Zhao Ziyang stared into Black Hawk's eyes, trying to capture his eye movements.
However, he did not see anything wrong. The other party's eyes were very stable, without any strange color. But the more this happened, the more Zhao Ziyang became alert. He used the corner of his eye to see the saber on the other party's waist and calculated the probability of snatching the saber and holding him hostage.
This group of mercenaries would never cross the border to Lop Nur for no reason. Their purpose was the same as the mercenaries who ambushed them, which was to obtain the items for the top-secret mission.
"Yes, that's right." Black Hawk nodded.
"The mission item is no longer available." Zhao Ziyang continued to stare into Black Hawk's eyes.
"Hahaha..." Black Hawk laughed loudly, took out a piece of chewing gum and threw it to Zhao Ziyang, saying: "Don't be so nervous, maybe eating a piece of chewing gum will make you feel more relaxed."
Zhao Ziyang took the gum and put it in his mouth and started chewing. He had to stay alive. If he wanted to stay alive, he couldn't trust anyone easily, even if they saved him. They saw him swallow the task item, maybe they wanted to use him for something. He couldn't trust anything the other party said easily. What he had to do was to analyze the authenticity of the other party's words.
"Who is the person who killed my comrade?" Zhao Ziyang asked Black Hawk, chewing the gum in his mouth hard.
"Defender." Black Hawk answered Zhao Ziyang's question.
Zhao Ziyang didn't know who the defenders were, but he knew that it was a mercenary organization and Black Hawk would not deceive him on this.
"Who is the defender?" Zhao Ziyang asked.
However, Black Hawk did not answer his question. He took out the saber from his waist and placed it on the table. He smiled at Zhao Ziyang and said, "I will tell you what kind of organization the Defenders are later. The first thing we need to solve is the issue of mutual trust."
Black Hawk's bright eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.
"You are of no use to us, and we will not choose to be the enemy of your country. We don't care what mission you are carrying out. We are just sniping the defenders. This is our mission. As for who hired us, I can't tell you."
Zhao Ziyang nodded and analyzed Black Hawk's words in his mind.
"You should know this principle." Black Hawk pushed the saber towards Zhao Ziyang and said to him nonchalantly, "One lie needs a hundred lies to cover it up. I don't think I can tell you a hundred lies without being found out. So I will tell you what I can, and I won't tell you what I can't."
Looking at the saber at hand, Zhao Ziyang sighed softly in his heart. He knew that Black Hawk's actions had two meanings: one was to show his sincerity; the other was to show his strength and that he was not afraid of him suddenly attacking and holding him hostage.
Maybe he is sincere, maybe now I can only believe that he is sincere.
"Pa pa," Black Hawk clapped his hands twice and said loudly, "Seth, photo."
Following Black Hawk's voice, a projection appeared on the wide wall in front of the hall. The photo on it petrified Zhao Ziyang instantly: a naked, hot girl appeared on the wall, and there was a clear red line on the girl's neck. It was clearly Pandora who gave him a gun...
"Shit!" Black Hawk cursed loudly while holding his head when he saw the naked photo of Pandora. He raised his head and shouted loudly, "Damn you Seth, you put Pandora's head on the body of a porn star again. I want the photos of those defenders!"
"Oh, shit, wrong place!" A frantic voice came from the loudspeaker, and then the photo was switched.
"Boss, don't tell Pandora, or I'll be completely hopeless." A pleading voice came from the loudspeaker, and then warned Zhao Ziyang fiercely: "Special Forces, you'd better forget what you saw, otherwise I will crush you and throw you into the toilet!"
"Hahaha... Seth, you'd better transfer a few hundred thousand to my bank account so that I can keep my mouth shut."
"Seth, all you have to do is install your newly developed operating system on my computer, and I'll treat it as a wet dream."
“…”
The other mercenaries in the hall laughed and began to take advantage of the situation.
"Shut up!" The voice on the loudspeaker sounded panicked and angry, roaring loudly: "This is not a threat. I can't guarantee that the balance in your bank account will become a string of zeros!"
"Hahaha..." Another burst of laughter rang out, as if people were no longer surprised by Seth's threats.
Suddenly, Zhao Ziyang had a feeling in his heart. He thought these guys were quite cute.
"Ahem..." Black Hawk coughed twice and said to Zhao Ziyang with a smile, "Special Forces, this is just a small episode, and the broadcasters of the episode are our eyes and noses. Seth, a former member of the Electronic Countermeasures Center of the British Royal Air Force Special Forces, can instantly cut into the military satellite of any country. He is a very good person, romantic and humorous."
Zhao Ziyang nodded. He knew that Seth was definitely more than just able to instantly cut into military satellites. He should be a true genius among the Lurker mercenaries.
"Okay." Black Hawk clapped his hands, pointed at the three mercenaries on the wall and said to Zhao Ziyang: "Look, these are the defenders of Lop Nur that day. Maybe you can recognize them."
Zhao Ziyang narrowed his eyes instantly, and his fists clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds. He saw clearly that the facial features of one of the mercenaries matched the one in his mind, especially their armbands.
The flames of hatred surged out from Zhao Ziyang's body, and the fierce murderous intent made the black shadow next to him feel surprised.
"You need to drink a glass of red wine." Black Hawk patted Zhao Ziyang on the shoulder and handed him a glass of red wine.
Zhao Ziyang took the red wine from Black Hawk and drank it all in one gulp. Hatred shone in his eyes, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I want revenge!"
Black Hawk shook his head, took a sip of red wine and said to Zhao Ziyang: "You want revenge to prove that comradeship occupies a great position in your heart, but can you take revenge?"
"Do you know what kind of organization the Defenders are?" Black Hawk continued to ask Zhao Ziyang.
Zhao Ziyang was stunned for a moment. Indeed, he didn’t even know what the Defenders were. How could he take revenge?
"Then do you know the story behind the Defender Mercenaries?" Black Hawk asked again.
Zhao Ziyang shook his head. He knew nothing at all.
"Calm down. You must control the angry devil in your heart. Otherwise, you will lose your life in an irrational way." Black Hawk calmed Zhao Ziyang down, snapped his fingers, and said to the sky, "Seth, play some soothing music."
"Damn it, boss, I'm not your exclusive sound engineer. I'm very busy! But I'm happy to dedicate to you the cranberries' Never Grow Old. May you stay forever young, ha."
As the music started, Zhao Ziyang followed Black Hawk to one end of the hall and sat down, listening quietly to him introduce the origins of the defenders.
"The Defender Mercenaries are a product of the new war economy model. They recruit retired soldiers from the world's famous special forces to serve powerful countries in the name of maintaining peace. They claim that they have the most just position. Fighting against weak countries goes against their beliefs and wishes, and they will not be moved even if there is a lot of money to tempt them.
Until now, no one knows whether the defenders are the product of the new war economy model or the product created by a powerful country, but one thing is certain: their combat effectiveness is amazing, even the old foreign legion and Blackwater pale in comparison to them. "Black Hawk took a sip of red wine and nodded to Zhao Ziyang.
Hearing this, Zhao Ziyang felt bitter in his mouth. He could imagine how powerful the defender was.
"By the way, maybe you don't know us Lurkers yet." Black Hawk, who had seen Zhao Ziyang's expression, smiled and said, "We Lurkers are a mercenary organization serving third world countries. We love peace and never serve powerful countries. We have our own beliefs and the creed of victory and destruction. We are not afraid of power and do not fight for money. We only fight for justice in our hearts. Because justice always needs to be defended by fighting, and we are the weapons of third world countries to defend justice and fairness.
We have wild blood flowing in our bodies, strong, arrogant, and bloody! Most importantly, we and the defenders are mortal enemies!"
Hearing Black Hawk's last words, Zhao Ziyang's heart twitched violently. He didn't care what kind of organization the Lurkers were, or what kind of justice the Lurkers advocated. He just wanted to know whether the Lurkers could compete with the Defenders.
"By the way, your injury has healed, and you can return home at any time." Black Hawk seemed to be ending the conversation. He stood up and took two steps forward, then turned around and said confidently to Zhao Ziyang: "Finally, I want to tell you a fact, which you may not like to hear."
"Speak!" Zhao Ziyang clenched his fists.
"Can you get out of this again after you return to your country?" Black Hawk asked lightly.
This sentence hit Zhao Ziyang hard. After returning to China, he would be investigated by the relevant departments, and he would not be able to explain what happened. Investigation is like arrest. Investigation is easy, but cancellation is a long way off. From now on, he will not be able to leave the country. He may be imprisoned in a secret prison, disappear mysteriously, or become a guinea pig in a laboratory...
If I go back, I will never have the chance to find the answers, and I will never be able to avenge my comrades...
Zhao Ziyang stood up slowly. The scene of his comrades' tragic death passed before his eyes again. His eyes became more and more determined.
"I want to join you!" Zhao Ziyang said this firmly to Black Hawk's back, his back straight and his eyes emitting a wild light.
Black Hawk did not stop his steps. He just stretched out a finger and shook it gently, then disappeared into the hall.
Zhao Ziyang understood the meaning of that finger: If you want to join the Lurkers, your current strength is not enough to qualify!
A boxing ring slowly rose from the center of the hall, and on it stood a Russian strongman who looked like a polar bear. He crossed his shoulders and looked at Zhao Ziyang with contempt, hooking his little finger at Zhao Ziyang: "If you want to stay in Lurker, then knock me down first, otherwise get out of here!"
Instantly, the wild blood that was already flowing in Zhao Ziyang's body was ignited, and he jumped onto the ring like a wild beast, arrogant, bloody, and insolent...
