Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1725 Perfect Security
Walking to an empty place, I said to Arthur: "Why don't you go there first, report the situation here and my people, and come up with a safe plan. Now we can Make sure, this is the drug manufacturing factory, try to destroy it, I will stay here first, and cooperate with you inside and out!"

Arthur shook his head and said: "You may not know what kind of existence this Grizzly Corps is? Among the four major mercenary legions in the world, they rank third, and they have their branches all over the world. Where there is war, there is money. Earn, where are they! Half of the mercenary regiments are retired soldiers, and their corps are all active-duty top soldiers from various countries with high salaries! This is not something we can handle, whether it is weapons and equipment or staffing , we are all far behind! Coming here is no different from committing suicide!
That Todd is a real executioner, he can slaughter all creatures, even himself, in order to achieve his goal! "

I sighed and said: "But there are some things that you know you can't do, but you have to do it! Things have reached this stage, there is no turning back, you go back and discuss it with them, I'm here to see if I can help you What?"

Arthur sighed and said, "But you are here, once a fight breaks out, you will be blackmailed by them as a bargaining chip, how shall we fight?"

I smiled and said: "I have my way of survival, you just need to rest assured, I will not become your burden!"

Arthur just nodded.

When Batu saw us coming back, he asked, "How is your discussion going?"

I hummed and said, "I'll stay. Mr. Arthur will go out and get the money to come in. It will only take one month, and the delivery must be made after one month. Otherwise, not only will everyone fail to cooperate, but all the consequences will be borne by you!"

Batu nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, then I hope Mr. Arthur can raise funds and come back as soon as possible!"

Arthur left with his deputy and He Dayong, leaving only Shiyou and me.

Batu arranged for us the best house in the village, but it was still just a thatched hut. Apart from two beds, the only household appliance in it was an old electric fan.

Batu was also very embarrassed and said: "The conditions are a bit difficult, but there is no way to do it. The location here is remote and the transportation is inconvenient. I don't want to be discovered by too many people. The cables are not pulled in. They generate electricity by themselves, so , Electric appliances are used as little as possible, and basic daily necessities are brought in only once a month. Most of the food is self-sufficient here, and the only thing that is not lacking is water! I will trouble you two, work hard for a month first, and wait for the transaction After it's done, I invite you to go to the capital to enjoy!"

I smiled wryly and said, "That's unnecessary. After this line is established, you and I can become local tyrants. Have you thought about when you will retire?"

Batu said bitterly: "I will never retire, and my brother will not let me retire either! This can only be blamed on me. Among all these brothers and sisters, the one who reads the least and kills the first! In our family, there is no People who use value are equivalent to waste, they are no longer members of our family, and will be abandoned at any time! I also want to make a fortune and fly away, but with the mark of the Xinsaier family, I can see it everywhere Can’t go, especially someone like me who knows too many secrets!”

From his words, I also heard his helplessness, so I comforted him: "Only those who really control the real power will be free! Then you never thought about quitting?"

Batu looked at me and said very sincerely: "Mr. Ma, I see that you have hit it off, so I might as well tell you what's in my heart. How could I never think about quitting? I think about it all the time, no one thinks about it." Kill people without blinking, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? Who wants to live in fear every day, and every day is full of unknowns about the future? But I will never be in power, I don't understand politics, I don't understand economics , only understand what you see!"

I hesitated for a while, and tentatively said: "Then you never thought about gaining some real power? I see that you have such a powerful corps, which can do a lot for you! You have money, an army, and you control the lifeline of the economy. Why not make a plan for yourself?"

Batu's eyes suddenly became serious, but he calmed down after a while and said: "For the sake of your sincerity, I won't bother with you. If someone talks to me like this, I will immediately Pull out the gun and shoot him in the head, you are encouraging me to revolt!"

I hastily explained: "I didn't mean that, I was just not worth it for you! You have done so many things by yourself, but you still have to be afraid in such an environment. It's not fair to spend time and drink!"

Batu said with emotion: "In our country, your birth determines your destiny! My mother was just a servant, and the law of our country does not allow abortion, so she gave birth to me, but my My status means that I can only be an inferior person, and now I can climb to this position, I am very satisfied, there are many people with the same status as you, some of them are still serving people in the palace!"

I sighed and said: "This world is really unfair, the same person does not have the same fate!"

Batu didn't have too much emotion, just smiled lightly and said: "In the evening, I'll ask them to open a few bottles of wine for you, and kill another sheep. The quality of the goat meat here is very good. I think you should like the roasted sheep." , it’s just that there’s no electricity here at night, so don’t wander around, it’s best to stay in your room!”

I asked angrily, "Are you going to put me under house arrest?"

Batu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course not! It's just the members of the Corps. No matter who you are, you can't go out casually at night. Otherwise, they can shoot you on the spot, not even me!"

I said with an oh: "Okay, I got it!"

At night, half a sheep and a few bottles of wine were brought in for us. Facing a dark mountain, Shiyou and I sat on the stone bench at the door with candles, ate lamb chops and drank red wine. It's also unique.

I asked Shiyou: "We don't have any surveillance here, do we?"

Shiyou nodded and said: "No, all the communication devices here are blocked! It's really isolated from the world. I've always thought about finding a place like this to practice Taoism carefully!"

I smiled and said: "That project is not small! In the future, when we go back, I will help you find it! However, it is estimated that there are very few places like this now!"

Shiyou also smiled and said, "I only once thought about it that way!"

After a while, a beam of strong light came over and shone on my face, making my eyes golden, but soon the strong light slid past my head, and only then did I see clearly that it was the searchlight on the mountain in the distance .

I sneered and said, "I also said that I don't want people to find out here. Such a strong light can be seen for dozens of miles around. It's simply deception!"

Shiyou shook his head and said: "From a distance, this light looks like a sea light, and it won't attract attention! Their security is actually very good in this regard! Entering from the outside, you have to walk dozens of miles on the mountain road , there should be a dark card on the road. Since we are on the main road leading to the entrance, it is a straight road, which can be seen at a glance and cannot be approached at all. People can't climb up rocks at all. When they land in the air, there are trees everywhere. In the jungle, it is difficult to find an accurate landing position. If you are not careful, you will directly fall to the bottom of the cliff, and you will never come up again!

Let's take another [-] points, even if we enter the gate, it is simply impossible to come in here, the entrance of the cave alone, how to get in!They also have an elevator, from which they can escape with their goods at any time, and they can't catch up!In addition, we don't know how many people are arranged on the top of the mountain, and we can fire at the ground at any time. What is done here is perfect!

Also, the local soldiers here are all elite soldiers, not to mention those mercenaries. What Arthur said is not an exaggeration at all. I saw their gestures holding guns, and they are all ready to shoot at any time. Never let your guard down! "

I grunted and said, "It's probably the lesson that the drug manufacturing village taught them last time. This is indeed a good place to guard against death! Then what do you think we should do? We really have to wait for them to come and die? Don't spread the situation here to them, let them trade as planned, anyway, our ultimate goal is to catch Lao Du, and there is no need to fight with these desperadoes!"

Shiyou suddenly became serious and said: "Do you think that He Dayong and the others have a sense of mission, everyone is actually quite afraid of death, but they have been taking risks, trying, and even sacrificing for a belief I don’t hesitate to take my own life! Even people like Wang Jue who chose to retire in the end, he left with guilt, but what’s wrong with him? He died once! Why would he feel guilty? Woolen cloth?"

I sighed and said, "Yeah, he has nothing to feel guilty about! But what about us? Aren't we the same, what do you say what we are doing now has anything to do with us?"

Shiyou said with a smile: "Really? Our purpose is not so pure! At first it was for revenge, then it was for money, now? It's for escape and to have a stable future! They are different. Ah, they could have lived their lives in peace and contentment, but they still resolutely chose to fight against crime. I say this is a risky spirit, is it not an exaggeration? We should learn more or less!"

I laughed loudly and said, "It's true that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black! Are you so enlightened now?"

Shiyou shook his head and said, "This is empathy!"

"So what do you think we should do?" I asked.

Shiyou thought for a while and said: "Let's stay in peace for the past two days. After they lower their vigilance, I will go out at night to see if there are any breakthroughs. And you, don't be idle, and talk to the villagers in the village. Let’s build a good relationship with each other, see if we can get something out of it, and most importantly, find a way to contact the outside world and tell them that we are not [-]% sure, so don’t act rashly, or we may be wiped out!”

We drank all the wine, leading to the next day, it was noon, and the two of us didn't get up.

Shiyou whispered in my ear: "In one morning, four groups of people came to see us!"

I laughed lightly and said, "Isn't this great? It fits our dreamy personality!"

After casually eating some of the sweet potatoes they brought over, Shiyou and I went for a walk separately.

Seeing the farmers in the field planting rice seedlings, I walked over and said hello, but no one paid any attention to me, just bowed my head and worked.

I thought it was my language barrier, so I tried to greet them again in their local dialect, but there was still no response.

I had no choice but to walk away resentfully, and walked to a supply station, where I saw that there was a Coke seller, so I asked for a bottle. When I was about to pay, the boss refused. I didn't understand after talking for a long time.

This is a girl dressed in a farmhouse, wearing a big sun hat, walked up to me, and said to me: "He said, someone told you that you don't need money for selling things!"

I looked at the girl in astonishment and asked, "How can you speak Chinese?"

Only then did the girl raise her head, smiled at me and said, "We are the drainage treatment engineering team they invited back! We are from Hubei!"

I said, "Come back, please? Come here? Do you know what this place is for?"

The girl nodded sadly and said: "I didn't know at first, but I found out later!"

Seeing the girl's sad look, I couldn't help feeling strange and said, "How did they invite you? Go to Hubei to invite you over, isn't it impossible?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, and instead of answering my question, she asked me, "What about you? Why did you come here? They said, you are Vietnamese? Why do you speak Chinese?"

I smiled and replied: "I'm not Vietnamese, I just lived in Vietnam for a long time, I'm from Cantonese!"

The girl smiled and asked, "But you haven't answered my question yet? Why did you come here?"

Seeing the owner of the supply station look at us both suspiciously, I whispered, "Why don't we find a place where there is no one to talk?"

The girl thought for a while, nodded, and led me to a simple tin shed. After pushing the door and entering, there was a Datong shop inside, which was simple but neat.

I asked the girl, "You all live here?"

The girl nodded and said: "Yes, you answer me first, why did you come here?"

I hesitated and replied, "Come here for business!"

The girl's face immediately sank and said: "Then I know, you are not a good person, and you will only harm people if you come here to do business!"

I also want to explain that when I heard someone talking from an outsider, it seemed to be asking where is the person?

Soon a group of soldiers rushed in and saw that I was pressing on the girl. I tore a hole in the girl's blouse, and the girl screamed in pain under me.
