When Chen finally woke up and opened his eyes hazily, it was almost dusk.
"Ji Luo, I slept for so long, why didn't you wake me up?"
"It's a good thing to get some more sleep. You still have to drive at night."
"Well... you obviously know it. I've already told you that the convoy will probably stop to rest tonight and won't rush on its way."
Chen was not fully awake at this time, so there was a hint of naivety in his voice. Ji Luo stretched out his right hand and stroked the girl's cheek. Chen rubbed the back of his hand with his palm, with a sweet smile on his cheek.
"Tomorrow morning, let me drive, okay~"
"Okay, tomorrow you drive and I'll lie down~"
Ji Luo and Chen's physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if they really sit and drive for a whole day, they will not feel tired.
However, this feeling of mutual care and concern between two people is far more comfortable than lying aside to rest.
"Attention all vehicles, there are thirty Originium bugs ahead, please slow down and prepare for battle."
"Thirty Originium Bugs? That's not too many. The scouting team ahead should be able to handle them."
As soon as Chen heard about the fight, she woke up immediately. She put on her hood, lowered the car window, and began to observe the situation ahead with a telescope in her hand.
Ji Luo also didn't want to be the first to stand out, so like other cars, he slowed down and hid in the crowd to observe the situation.
"how is the situation?"
"It's just a bunch of Originium bugs. No big deal. We'll solve it right away."
Chen quickly confirmed the result. She closed the car window again, took out two bottles of water from her backpack, unscrewed them and handed one to Ji Luo first.
"Chen, have those few people who deserve attention taken action?"
"No, but Krush showed off his dart throwing skills, which was quite accurate~"
Although Chen and Ji Luo joined the Birch Mercenary Group in name, she remained on guard and had already arranged all the imaginary enemies.
What happened next was just as Chen had judged. The Originium worms were quickly eliminated, the convoy's alert was quickly lifted, and the public channel returned to its previous noise.
At this point, the convoy had reached the edge of Gantry's moving route. Due to the direction and terrain, they could no longer continue on this safe path.
"Tonight's rest stop is ahead. Please park in the assigned area to avoid congestion."
In the public channel, Ji Luo heard a rare female voice. Judging from the tone of her voice, this spokesperson should not be from the three mercenary groups, but from the Warren Chamber of Commerce.
Ji Luo didn't care too much about this little thing. He quickly arrived at the designated location and parked the car at the surrounded location according to the serial number of the convoy.
"My goodness, did they arrange this vehicle because they are afraid that I will drive away in the middle of the night?"
Ji Luo just sighed. He didn't have any extra thoughts about Krush's defensiveness. He just let the other party do whatever he wanted.
I have to say that the resting point chosen by the Warren Chamber of Commerce is indeed a very good place.
The steep slope is slightly higher than the surrounding flat land, and the view is very good. Any unusual movement can be discovered at the first time.
After Ji Luo took the tent and sleeping bag out of the back of the car, he and Chen started the big project of setting up the tent.
Compared with the group-purchased equipment allocated to others, the things purchased by Ye Han were obviously high-end goods, which also made their tent stand out from the crowd and looked very abrupt.
At this time, Ji Luo and Chen were surrounded by people from the Birch Mercenary Group. A few of them came over tentatively to approach them. Their attitudes were pretty good, at least when they mentioned what happened in the morning, they were criticizing the other two mercenary groups.
Chapter 149: I don't pretend, why do you pretend?
null
Chapter 150: Jian Lei wins perfectly
I don’t know if it was because enemies meet on a narrow road or if the other party was deliberately seeking revenge, but the two parties who had previously cut off each other’s car and sprayed chili oil met again.
Ji Luo twisted his neck, looked at Feng Ti whose eyes were as red as a rabbit, and laughed happily.
"Hey~ Can you still see the road clearly with your eyes? Please don't drive. It's not good for you or the passengers. It's unsafe~"
"What the hell-"
Fengti was so angry at Ji Luo that his face turned red. He was about to rush over to attack, but was stopped by the gun raised by Krush. He didn't even dare to swear.
"If you want to eat mutton, I welcome you. If you want to fight, I am also willing to accompany you."
Krush is not a man who is good at speaking. The loaded gun in his hand, ready to fire at any time, represents his attitude.
"Krush, why get angry? We are all on the same side, we should take care of each other."
As the leader of the Pine Needle Mercenaries, old Wolper, with white hair and beard, always speaks with an inexplicable sarcasm.
"It's better not to point guns at your teammates. If you have any conflicts, why not just fight with fists and feet~"
"Old Moore, you are too confident."
Krush knew exactly what old Wolper wanted to do this time. The other party mentioned Ji Luo's matter, but it was just an excuse. The real target was still him.
As a mercenary for so many years, Krush has crawled out of a sea of corpses and bones. His silence is often regarded as cowardice, but it is actually a consideration of the battle.
"We, the Sarkaz, are never afraid of fighting and death."
"..."
Old Wolper raised his eyelids slightly and watched Krush stand up from the campfire, throw down the gun in his hand, and clench his fists.
On the other side, the members of the Birch Mercenary Group found out that their leader was going to fight in person, and they immediately surrounded him and wanted to fight on his behalf, but were rejected by Krush.
"Yo yo yo~ Krush, why are you so lively here? Are you making something delicious~"
A cheerful female voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd. Upon hearing the voice, the White Birch and Pine Needle troops all went their separate ways in tacit agreement.
She was a Wolper woman with purple hair and purple eyes. She wore slightly baggy pants, a beret tilted on her head, and held a dark shield in her hand. She walked through the crowd and came to the campfire.
"Jian Lei?"
Ji Luo recognized her instantly. She was a four-star heavy-armored operator in "Arknights". After all, Jian Lei's recognition was too "huge"!
"Hey~ Bro, you know me~"
Jian Lei didn't care about the tense atmosphere at all. Or rather, for her, who came from the Colombian regular army, this kind of conflict between mercenaries was just a small scene.
"You are a new face. Did you join Baihua in Longmen?"
"Yes, newbie."
Ji Luo has a natural liking for the operators who were once just paper figures. Moreover, Jian Lei has a strong sense of justice and is a very reliable big sister.
"Jian Lei, are you here to eat red-bristled goat meat too?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, yes~ I've been eating too much butter and jam these days, so I want to eat some lamb~"
Jian Lei covered up the reason for coming over, and after her interruption, the two groups that were about to fight calmed down a little.
Krush picked up the gun on the ground and put it back on his waist. Old Wolper changed his sitting position and looked at Ji Luo, thinking.
Jian Lei didn't pay any attention to that. She threw her shield to the ground, sat on it and asked when the lamb would be ready to be roasted.
On the other side, Willow, who was worried about the situation, breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there would be no fight. She immediately brought the barbecue utensils over and put the prepared red-bristled goat on the campfire.
"Wow~ I've heard that red-briered goats are very delicious, but I didn't expect to be able to eat them today. I'm lucky~"
Jian Lei rubbed his hands in anticipation, and seemed to be completely attracted by the roasted lamb. The two subordinates behind her were already accustomed to this, and said nothing, silently standing in a position ready to provide support at any time.
At this point, the leaders of the three mercenary groups, the White Birch, Pine Needle, and Maple Sugar, have all arrived.
Krush, who was about to take action, sat back in his original position. For a moment, a delicate balance was formed in the field, and the atmosphere fell silent.
"..."
Ji Luo didn't have any thoughts at this time. He smelled the mutton that was beginning to emit fragrance and licked his lips expectantly.
At this time, Chen, who had been sitting next to Ji Luo without saying a word, suddenly leaned over to Ji Luo's ear and whispered a reminder.
"Ji Luo, I think if we help the Birch Mercenary Group stabilize the situation, we can save a lot of trouble."
"Well……"
Ji Luo never considered himself a mercenary, so in his heart, he never had the real feeling of joining the Birch Mercenary Group.
In this state of mind, Ji Luo just chatted with Krush with a completely bystander mentality.
——It doesn’t matter how things turn out, it has nothing to do with me anyway.
But after Chen's reminder, Ji Luo suddenly realized that if he really turned a blind eye to everything and let the Pine Needle Mercenary Group swallow up the White Birch, there might be more trouble!
"Ah~ I hope this journey won't be peaceful all the time."
"It's better to be restless. If we can completely resolve the crisis of the Birch Mercenary Group, our position will be awkward."
Chen keenly sensed the delicate balance between the three mercenary groups. The two of them did not need to do anything superfluous now. As long as they could maintain this balance, the journey would be worry-free.
Ji Luo made a gesture that it was okay, and silently reached a tacit understanding with Chen. It didn't matter what happened to the mercenaries, but they must not interfere with their plans.
——Otherwise, Ji Luoke would have hit someone.
The meat of the long-haired goat was being roasted, giving off a rich aroma, but old Wolper, who was sitting downwind, seemed to be unable to smell the aroma, and his expression remained as if he were an old monk in meditation.
"Krush, because of your group's huge negligence, our two families suffered heavy losses. Regarding the issue of compensation... we haven't had a good discussion yet~"
There was a hint of wit in old Wolper's words. He brought Jian Lei into the picture and changed it to 'we'. As a result, the situation changed from being one where he was putting pressure on the other side to two mercenary groups asking for compensation.
The fox ears on Jian Lei's head trembled, and her eyes, which had been staring at the roasted lamb, sank slightly, but she said nothing and just listened.
Krush was prepared for this. He turned his gaze to old Wolper and looked him in the eye without giving in.
"We, the Birch Mercenary Group, don't want a penny of the profit from this trip. We'll give it all to you."
"Oh~ That's it?"
Old Wolper wanted a lot in his heart, so of course he would not agree. But Jian Lei, who was staring at the roasted lamb, suddenly said yes.
"Old Moore, our mercenary group has traveled far and wide to make a living. There is no need to force people to death. We have made a lot of profit on this trip. If we split it in half, it will be enough to make up for the loss."
"not enough!"
Old Wolper snorted coldly, slapped his hands on his knees, and directly rejected the proposal.
I have to say, Krush's move was very cunning. He threw out the profits of this trip but did not mention who got more or less, just to divide him and Jianlei!
"Krush, I lost more than 20 good fighters here. They all have families. The compensation alone is more than this amount!"
"Jian Lei agreed!"
No one expected Ji Luo to speak suddenly. In the minds of others, Ji Luo was just a newcomer to the Birch Mercenary Group. When the big guys discussed important matters, he had no right to speak.
However, in this impending stormy atmosphere, Ji Luo stated his decision in an unquestionable tone.
"The pine needles and maple syrup were damaged together. Now... Jian Lei has agreed to the compensation plan."
Ji Luo stopped talking here, but everyone could hear his next words:
Jian Lei has agreed, why don't you agree? !
"Ha~"
Old Wolper was so angry that he laughed at Ji Luo's words. He had been running the Pine Needle Mercenary Group for so many years and was considered a veteran. He talked to Krush on an equal footing and looked up to him.
Now, a kitten or a puppy that appeared out of nowhere has the right to run up to him and speak nonsense!
"Krush, what do you—mean?"
"What he means is what I mean."
Although Krush didn't understand why Ji Luo had just refused to help and now took over the matter, he didn't hesitate at all and directly endorsed Ji Luo.
"Hehehe~ Good! Very good~"
Old Wolper's smile seemed a little ferocious, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. To be able to gain such support from Krush, this young man with silver hair and black eyes must be no simple man!
Jiluo sat on the ground, his face still relaxed. He would not allow old Wolper to achieve his goal, nor would he let Krush rest easy.
The conflict among the three mercenary groups can be dragged on and can be aggravated, but it cannot be completely resolved before arriving in Colombia, and they cannot tear each other apart.
"Hey! Old fox, if you say yes, then you agree!"
"Huh? Why should I agree to that?!"
"Based on what you just said, if there is any contradiction, why not just have a fight~"
