Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 711

The car drove until midnight and the group stopped to rest.

Yang Xiaole got out of the car and said to Zhao Gang, "Send a few people to guard, and the others go to the car to sleep for a while. We will set out during the day tomorrow. I'll go check out the surrounding area."

After all, there is ammunition on the cart, so we still have to be careful.

"it is good!"

Zhao Gang agreed and went to make the arrangements.

Yang Xiaole quietly entered the darkness.

Those people were just killed. No one should be chasing them in the short term. Moreover, the closer they are to Kinshasa, the weaker the local armed forces will be.

I shouldn't go too deep into it.

What he needs to do now is to look for the route back.

Following the previous path may not be safe.

The biggest problem is the river. The water resources in Congo are actually very rich. Many streams will only dry up during the dry season.

It's everywhere now.

The problem with passing is the bridge.

Thinking of this, he quietly left here to search for a route forward, and cut down a lot of trees by the way.

We took the tree into the space and used the steel plate to build a large wooden bridge.

This bridge can be used across any terrain except large rivers.

……

The next morning, just after dawn, Xu Jinbu came over with water.

"Add some hot water! Eat something!"

Yang Xiaole took the combat rations and filled his kettle with some boiled water.

Started eating there.

Xu Jinbu went to distribute water and food to others.

Lao He came over while eating and asked, "Xiao Hei, are you carrying too much stuff? Are you too big a target?"

There were indeed too many things. Excluding the three people driving cars, there were a total of ten trucks.

Yang Xiaole hummed: "Yes, a little bit. Just be careful on the road. If not, just throw these things away."

After saying that, he looked at the muddy car in front of him and said with a smile: "Old He, isn't it time to change your equipment? This sedan is really not suitable for driving in Congo. Why not change it to an off-road vehicle? At least change it to a pickup truck!

This makes it convenient when performing tasks. In the rainy season, this car is more difficult to drive.”

We actually encountered quite a few problems on the road, but since there were so many people and they were all strong, there wasn't any major trouble.

Old He looked at the car and nodded slightly: "It's time to change it. I'll change a few when I get back."

Yang Xiaole nodded and said nothing. After all, these people were out there and couldn't spend the money they earned whenever they wanted.

After chatting for a while, he came to Zhang Xuesong.

At this time, Xu Jinbu was bandaging his wound, as the gun had scraped his skin yesterday.

Yang Xiaole came over and said with a smile: "Are you okay? Can you still hold the gun?"

Zhang Xuesong chuckled: "With just this little injury, how can you not be able to lift it! It's not a serious injury. In your words, if it was a little later, the wound would have healed."

This made the others laugh.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded.

It's not a serious wound, but it's not a small one either.

Looking at Xu Jinbu who was not smiling, he said, "What's wrong? You haven't spoken since yesterday! What happened?"

Xu Jinbu was silent for a moment.

Suddenly stood up.

"Report! Yesterday...yesterday...he fired a few shots at the beginning, but then he got scared and just...he lay there and didn't dare to move."

Xu Jinbu said it hesitantly.

There were still tears on his face.

Yang Xiaole didn't say anything.

He just said "Oh" softly, then glanced at the others: "Yeah, I know!"

He just said this briefly and didn't say anything else.

When the others saw this, they all looked over.

After a while, other people also stood up with red faces.

"Report, and... and me!"

"Me too"

Three people stood up one after another.

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly. These three people were indeed the ones who were scared at the beginning.

He never pointed it out.

Now that he has admitted it, he won't say anything.

After all, not everyone has the same psychological qualities and it cannot be forced.

Zhang Xuesong smiled and said, "It's okay! It's good that the brothers are all okay! This little injury is worth it for the brothers' safety."

These words made several people look guilty.

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "Okay, I didn't say anything, just be more careful next time. Rest for a while, and we'll set off later."

After saying that, he left here directly.

Leaving a group of people there whispering.

Everyone stayed here for a while, went to the toilet, and then set off again towards their destination.

There is no urgent task this time.

And it won’t have any impact if these things are lost, so there’s naturally not much psychological pressure.

Yang Xiaole led his men along the route he had explored.

The road was very slippery at the beginning.

It got a little better in the afternoon.

After winding around in the mountains and forests, we would build a wooden bridge to cross a small river when we came across it.

Even the local villagers we met on the road would just be curious when they saw such a long team. Even small armed forces would have to think twice when they saw it.

Not everything can be intercepted.

Mainly, the back of the truck was blocked with cloth.

No one knows whether these are goods or people.

At least people's first reaction is that with so many vehicles, there must be a lot of weapons.

For some checkpoints that were impossible to bypass, Yang Xiaole would deal with the people and tie them up in advance.

The journey that should have taken more than ten hours actually took two days to get close to the city.

Two nights later, the group returned to the cabin safely.

The group got off the car in front of the yard.

After Lao He came down, he went straight to the yard.

The others naturally got off the car and stood guard without any orders.

Yang Xiaole got out of the car and looked at Lao He who came out in a hurry and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Old He frowned and said, "Wang Yu is not here, the bed is warm, I wonder if something happened."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole laughed.

He looked around and said with a smile, "Old He, a convoy as big as ours would scare anyone!"

After saying that, he put his fingers to his mouth and made a sound like a bird chirping.

After a while, I saw a figure slowly approaching from the darkness outside the yard.

"It's really you!"

Wang Yu came over and looked at everyone, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lao He slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. I forgot to notify you in advance. Are you scared?"

Hearing this, Wang Yu rolled his eyes: "What do you think! I heard such a loud noise outside while I was sleeping. I thought something happened to you!"

Then he looked at the long line of trucks and asked curiously, "What's going on with you? Why did you bring back so many trucks?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, drive the car into the yard first and squeeze in. It should be enough. If there is not enough space, park it outside first."

There are quite a few rooms in this yard, and the yard is also very large.

The trucks of this era were not as long as the container trucks of later generations.

Seeing this, Wang Yu opened the door to the yard.

The cars drove into the yard in order.

The yard was indeed big enough to fit all the trucks in, but there was hardly any space left in the yard.

The three cars can only be parked outside.

Fortunately, there are not many residents nearby, so there is no need to worry too much.

Everyone returned to the yard.

Yang Xiaole looked at everyone covered in mud and said, "Zhao Gang, send someone to keep watch. The others should take turns to take a good bath and clean the car tomorrow. Oh, by the way, have something to eat."

The cars on this road have been ruined beyond recognition.

Getting on and off the bus with mud on it.

If these people were not in good physical condition, many of them would probably have fallen ill.

Zhao Gang agreed and took people to make arrangements.

Yang Xiaole entered the main room with Lao He and Wang Yu.

Out of Wang Yu's curiosity, Lao He told him everything that had happened to them along the way.

After hearing what they said, Wang Yu was also surprised.

"I didn't expect you guys to be in this situation! But you're taking too much risks. We're here to carry out a mission, and you were too reckless with the weapons."

Finally, something serious.

And Old He nodded slightly: "Indeed, I didn't think it through. At that time, I just wanted to blow up the weapons of Ricardo's armed forces, but I didn't expect Xiao Hei to be able to wipe them out completely, and he didn't suffer any losses himself."

Yang Xiaole also spoke up at this time: "This is something I didn't consider. I won't do it next time."

Wang Yu hummed, then thought for a moment and said, "It's not a good idea to leave so many things here. We need to move them as soon as possible."

Lao He nodded: "Yes, I know. We will transfer a batch of these things to others, and take the rest of Xiao Hei to the rain forest for their training."

Wang Yu distributed cigarettes to the two and said, "Well, as soon as possible!"

Yang Xiaole took the cigarette, thought of something and said, "Old He, I want to ask a question. If you can answer it, then answer it. If you can't, forget it."

"You tell me! We'll answer whatever we can."

Yang Xiaole asked after hearing this: "When you carry out your mission here and do any business, do you have to ask for permission from your superiors, or can you make adjustments based on the actual situation?"

Old He pondered for a moment after hearing this.

After making sure that the question could be answered, he said, "You don't need to ask for permission to do any business, unless it's too big. After all, this place is too far from home. Why are you asking this?"

Yang Xiaole said: "If possible, we can open a mining company ourselves. I have been out for a few times recently and found that the agricultural sector here is well developed and many wealthy people are keen on mining. If we set up a mining company, the mobility of miners is very high, which is very suitable for covering up those of us who come here to carry out tasks.

If I had my own ship, it would be much more convenient to carry out missions..."

They have no shortage of food and drink here, but in fact ordinary people in Congo are very short of food.

Due to the geographical reasons, there are no big farmers here, and most ordinary people just make a living.

Under the condition of underdeveloped industry.

Many people like to be miners. The mining industry here is very developed and there are many private mines.

The armed forces here are basically private mine owners.

Old He was pondering in his mind when he heard this.

Then he said, "But if there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed! Our store is small, and once it is exposed, it will be easy to move. This won't work!"

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "Actually, that's not the case. Once you get bigger, you can manage it by region! The mining area is so big, you can put your people in one area. And when the company reaches a certain scale, there will be many upstream and downstream companies, and you can squeeze people in. Just do a good job of management!"

These words made Lao He ponder.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's think about this matter. It's getting late. Let's go take a shower and go to bed! We've been exhausted these past few days."

Yang Xiaole didn't say anything when he saw this.

Lao He took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Are there any new tasks recently?"

Wang Yu nodded, "Yes, there will be people from the mainland coming next week. Although there are security guards here, we will also be on the periphery to ensure their safety."

“Did it come through official channels?”

"Yes! So our mission is not very important, we just need to stay on the periphery. However, because of our skin color, we might attract attention. We can't have too many people go this time, so as not to be targeted and no one will be able to use us in the future.

Also, we may need to do something in the middle. I didn’t say what, just let us be prepared.

The specific mission locations will be communicated to you later."

After hearing this, Old He pondered there.

Nodding gently: "Okay, I understand."

Then he looked at Yang Xiaole and said, "You heard it too. Let's take a break these two days and recuperate."

"Okay, I'll go wash up first."

Old He hummed lightly when he heard this.

After making sure that nothing was wrong, Yang Xiaole stood up and left the main room.

I went back to the dormitory, found some clean clothes, and went back to the yard to wash up.

After washing, I felt much more comfortable. I was almost covered in mud along the way.

After finishing, he left the yard and went to the corner outside the yard to find Liu Bing hiding.

"Liu Bing, I'm here, go back to sleep!"

Liu Bing held the gun in his hand and smiled: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

"Okay, let's go!"

Seeing this, Liu Bing didn't force him. He gave him the gun and went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Yang Xiaole held the gun and stayed for a while, making sure that everyone had gone to sleep. Only Li Jianguo was still on guard in the distance.

After waiting for a while, he quietly entered the space and headed towards the city.

We soon arrived at the previous hotel.

Ivanka was found in the hotel.

The other party may have known that he was coming alone, so he booked a room for himself.

Ivanka was lying down and sleeping. She felt some movement in the room and reflexively reached for the pistol under her pillow.

The person also rolled down.

At this moment, the lights suddenly lit up.

"gentlemen!"

When he saw Yang Xiaole, he quickly put away his gun and stood respectfully aside.

Yang Xiaole hummed, pulled over a chair and sat down.

He gestured in Russian: "Take a seat! When did you arrive? Did you come here through the formal channels?"

Seeing this, Ivanka sat down beside the bed and said, "I received a notification from you, sir, that you said there was no rush. We came here after completing the formalities. It will take four or five days."

"Well, how's the gold mine going now?"

Upon hearing this, Ivanka told them about the situation over there.

Yang Xiaole listened quietly there.

He has been gone for over a year.

The base is not short of money during this period, and the base facilities are now quite complete.

We recruited a lot of veterans from the Russian side.

They are all between 25 and 40 years old, and they are not physically disabled. They come here just because life at home is not going well.

There are now more than 200 veterans.

This does not include the various armed forces recruited locally, the total number has reached six or seven hundred.

There are not many people, but with Yang Xiaole's well water treatment, and the current training intensity is very high.

So these people's fighting power is very strong.

And now I am carrying out missions all over the country, but because I am not famous, I don’t receive many orders.

After Yang Xiaole listened, he was thinking about it.

When I left, I gave the other party training directions.

They were trained completely in the way of special forces.

The training method he gave to people like Zhao Gang was copied from later generations, but people like Zhao Gang had special circumstances and could not be trained in the army.

The training time was a bit short this time.

Seeing this, Ivanka asked respectfully, "Sir, what did you ask us to do here? This time we brought a total of thirty elites from the camp."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole came back to his senses.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, there's nothing specific. You guys stay here and wait for my notification."

He really doesn't have any specific tasks now.

Still have to find an opportunity.

I definitely don't believe that we could get in touch so directly.

Ivanka naturally had no objection to this.
