Chapter 97: War Begins
"Dear cousin, you know, you really disappoint me." Yahya, dressed in a white robe, showed a disappointed expression and spread his hands helplessly.
Looking at him like this, others would definitely feel that he was really disappointed, not just disappointed, but extremely disappointed.
However, Mekale thought this expression was a joke, a joke that a winner showed towards defeat.
"Dear cousin." Mekale put his hands in his trouser pockets, straightened his back and said to Yahya with a smile: "I am sorry to disappoint you. Of course, disappointment is only one side of your expression. In fact, you should be laughing in your heart."
“Hahahaha…” Yahya laughed, stretched out his hand and tapped Mekale and said, “My cousin, you are indeed my closest person. You can even guess what I’m thinking. Hahaha…”
Facing Yahya's victorious smile, Mekale became more and more calm, and even a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Dear cousin, have you ever thought about the consequences of killing me?" There was a strong threat in Mekale's light words, and his eyes were filled with viciousness along with this threat.
Mekale is both a serpent and a lion, and remains ferocious even in defeat.
"I've thought about it." Yahya clasped his hands together and smiled. "My country will be easier to rule without you. I will continue to be re-elected, and eventually dissolve parliament and become a great man praised by future generations."
"It's a good idea, but you, ah..." Mekale sighed heavily, and said to Yahya with a complicated look in his eyes: "Cousin, why did you kill Karen?"
It is normal to ask this question at this time, as you are about to die.
“Hahahaha…” Yahya laughed so hard that he bent forward and backward, and said loudly, “Why? Hahahaha…do I need to say this?”
"Why?" Mekale asked again seriously.
“Because—” Yahya changed the subject and said in a cold voice: “She betrayed me.”
Mekale nodded after hearing this. He knew Yahya's character very well. Anyone who betrayed Yahya would only die.
"Is there anyone who betrayed you who didn't die?"
"No!" Yahya shook a finger with great pride, telling Mekale that no one could betray him and survive.
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Mekale's face, and then he lunged forward, lying heavily on the pile of corpses, and picked up a corpse to cover himself.
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..." A sound of breaking wind was heard in the distance, and four missiles with long tails flew straight towards the tall walls of the Presidential Palace.
“Boom!…”
A violent explosion sounded, and the wall of the machine gun bunker collapsed. The flames caused by the missile explosion rushed straight into the sky. The exploded bricks and stones flew in all directions like flowers scattered by fairies, smashing the soldiers in the courtyard.
At the same time, another missile flew towards the center of the Presidential Palace , and the whistling sound of breaking through the wind sounded like the howl of death.
The panicked Yahya was knocked down to the bottom of the stairs by a group of fearless bodyguards and was protected by layers of guards.
"boom!"
Half of the room collapsed in the explosion, and bricks and stones hit Yahya's bodyguard hard, making a deep dent in his head.
Mekale hid himself under the corpse to avoid the flying rocks, then dragged a rifle and rushed westward like lightning.
Escape, what he has to do now is to escape!
"Da da da..." Gunshots rang out behind him, and a group of soldiers chased Mekale frantically to kill him.
Mekale's lion-like figure actually completed a series of extremely difficult tactical movements at high speed. While his body was performing S-shaped forward tactical movements, he used various tactical feints to guide the firepower of the pursuers and continued to run forward unscathed.
With a "puff" sound, a soldier chasing in the front splattered a puff of blood on his chest. While running and fighting against the penetration of the bullet, he strangely jumped up from the spot, paused in the air for a second, and then fell heavily down.
"Puff puff!……"
The pursuing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another, making it impossible for those behind to continue chasing Mekale. They could only crawl on the ground and watch Mekale's figure disappear around the corner of a building.
"Boss, the situation has changed. Mekaler escaped with the help of an unknown force." Swart, who had been paying attention to the situation below, immediately reported the situation to Zhao Ziyang.
"I know!" Zhao Ziyang's voice came from the radio, accompanied by a burst of confusion.
Swart and the others saw the situation reversed, but Zhao Ziyang and Pandora experienced the reversal firsthand. The missile that blew up half of the room almost buried them alive, and they were now in a state of despair.
“Pah! Pah!” Zhao Ziyang spat out the dirt and rocks in his mouth twice and cursed at the radio: “Damn it, listen carefully, no one is allowed to kill Mekaler, just stand back and watch from a distance, I’m going to kill this bastard in one fell swoop.”
"Boss, why not kill?" Blade's voice came from the radio.
"Why?" Zhao Ziyang showed a murderous look on his face, and chuckled: "Because Mekale is a mercenary of EO. Let him escape, let him lead us to find EO, and then... start a war!"
The radio fell silent, as if everyone was frightened by Zhao Ziyang's words. Isn't it too early to start a war with EO now?
"Boss, are you sure you're right? Do we really have to go to war with EO at this time?" Daofeng felt that Zhao Ziyang's head must have been stimulated by something.
Their lurkers have just completed the deployment of their mercenary company in Africa, and are currently short of manpower and busy on guard against EO. It would definitely not be a good idea to proactively provoke a war. The best way is to speed up the pace, make adjustments, and then prepare all necessary defenses.
"I'm not wrong." Zhao Ziyang brushed the dust off his head and said to the radio as if nothing had happened: "Anyway, the battle with EO is not far away. It's better to launch an attack first than to be chased by them. Guys, the best defense is offense, this sentence is absolutely correct."
These words rang clearly in the ears of every mercenary, and they immediately realized that Zhao Ziyang had already arranged everything and was just waiting to use Mekaler to declare war on EO first.
In fact, Zhao Ziyang did make some arrangements. The breakthrough point for provoking the war was Mekale. He would do some work in the middle to let Yahya not kill Mekale for the time being, leaving a gap for this guy to escape, and then track him down and start a war.
But the situation suddenly changed and the EO people came to rescue. This is the best way, it is easier to cut out the middleman.
"Boss, how can you determine that Mekaler is a member of EO?" Gun Ghost asked Zhao Ziyang curiously, because he didn't know it for such a long time.
"It's simple. Remember when we rescued Mekale, he covered his chest with his hands? There was a soldier card there, an EO soldier card. Why was he so willing to accept our help without any suspicion? That's because this guy is eager to deal with us. As long as he becomes president, he will have many ways to trap us. He knew about the EO mercenaries we killed at that time, but he just pretended to be stupid all along."
After hearing this, the mercenaries all understood why Mekale had easily fallen into this trap. It was not only because of love, but also because of hatred for the Lurkers. All the EO comrades who supported him in the battle with the Fula tribe were killed by the Lurkers.
"Alas..." Dao Feng sighed deeply and groaned, "Boss...you are too insidious..."
"No, it's cunning," Rifling added.
"NO! NO! NO! It's shameless and vulgar!" The gun ghost said seriously.
"No, you are all wrong." Swart cleared his throat and corrected: "This is because the boss is Chinese, and Chinese people are the most mysterious."
This statement was unanimously agreed upon. They now truly realized that the Chinese people are cautious, or insidious, cunning, shameless, and vulgar. At least Zhao Ziyang is like that.
But they like it. With a leader like this to lead them into battle, it’s not that easy to die, ha ha ha…
The lurkers began tracking Mekale, following the western coastline of Gambia northward into Senegal, and then through a jungle to Kaolack, Senegal.
The six EO mercenaries who assisted Mekaler in his escape did not notice the lurkers far behind them during their retreat. In comparison, their abilities were quite good, but unfortunately they were still not comparable to Zhao Ziyang and his men.
It would not be difficult to kill them in the jungle, but Zhao Ziyang was unwilling to kill seven people. He wanted to destroy an EO military base. Since war had been declared, they had to fight openly. The Lurkers would not be secretive in their future actions. They wanted to stand proudly in the mercenary world with an arrogant attitude.
This is an office building in the city center of Kaolack. Since Kaolack is just a small city on the west coast of Senegal, the office building is not big, only five stories high. The appearance is very inconspicuous and a little mottled due to long-term wind and rain.
The sign on the office building had the name of a company written on it. Mekaler and six mercenaries walked into the building and never came out again.
Zhao Ziyang, along with Pandora, Daofeng and a few others, broke into the residential building opposite the office building. After drugging the owner, they occupied the house opposite the office building and began to observe the office building.
"It looks like this is a company with good trading business." Blade lay comfortably in the chair, observing the situation on the opposite side through the telescope placed in front of the blinds.
"Of course it's good. All mercenary companies are doing very well. They will hire professional managers to take care of the company's external business. Poor business will expose them very quickly." Swart said while holding the coffee and took a sip.
It is daytime now, and it is working time. The windows of the office building opposite are full of employees. People come in and out of the building from time to time, and it looks extremely busy.
"Have you found anything?" Zhao Ziyang asked Daofeng.
"Hehehe, yes, there is a big discovery!" Blade sat up, stared at one of the windows with a telescope and said seriously: "Boss, this is indeed a big discovery."
"Condition!"
"The woman in the office opposite was not wearing any underwear. I saw her bending over towards the window just now. The most amazing thing is that she is very beautiful. I never thought that there would be such a beautiful black pearl in this small place..."
"Fuck!" All the mercenaries raised their middle fingers towards Blade.
Blade, sensing a different atmosphere, turned around, blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Boss, what you're asking about is a great discovery. Isn't this a great discovery?"
Zhao Ziyang walked up to Daofeng very decisively, grabbed his collar and lifted him up, then kicked him into the bedroom to stay with the family who had just woken up and were tied up.
"Boss, boss, I promise I won't find a woman without underwear again, I promise..." Daofeng shouted anxiously, but unfortunately the door was locked from the outside, as if they were going to lock this guy up.
"Special forces, you bastard!" Blade cursed, but no one outside the door paid any attention to him.
Helpless Dao Feng sat down on the ground, and he and the family of three looked at each other eagerly.
"Do you want to smoke?" Blade asked the bored man in his forties.
The man, whose mouth was taped shut, shook his head in horror.
"Would you like some chocolate?" Blade took out a piece of sugar-free chocolate.
The three members of the family continued to shake their heads, especially the little girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, who was so frightened that she didn't know where to look.
"Want to play poker?" Blade took out a deck of cards and asked the host.
Hearing this, the man stared at the poker cards in Blade's hand, with a gleam in his eyes.
Seeing the man's expression, Dao Feng immediately got excited and let go of the man and started gambling with him. I didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a big gambler. Once he started gambling, he would forget everything.
After Blade found someone to play with, he forgot about the naked Black Pearl. Zhao Ziyang and the others continued to monitor the office building opposite, but there was no progress after watching it for the entire morning.
Just as they were preparing for their next move, Dao Feng kicked the door open, came over excitedly and shouted, "Boss, boss, we can get in, haha..."
