Lin Chuxue was going back to school. This trip didn't end up with anything good, but instead, it ended up in a horror movie, which made Haber feel very guilty. He originally wanted to bring them to Dubai for a vacation.
Of course, for Lin Chuxue, it wasn't like she didn't gain anything. At least, as Xu Cheng's wife, she got to know Haber's wife and other rich Middle Eastern women. Also … she and Xu Cheng could be considered to have further solidified their relationship. This was also the reason why she decided to follow Xu Cheng to the end.
Xu Cheng originally wanted to keep her around for a while longer, but Lin Chuxue was in a hurry to further her studies in finance so that she could help Xu Cheng manage his business, so she decided to go back.
Xu Cheng didn't force the issue. He was going to the Land of Mercenaries with Haber's team to build an underground base in their territory.
He personally sent Lin Chuxue to Harvard, and then he met up with Stenson and Lin Dong.
Sal and the others treated him to a grand meal, mainly because Xu Cheng gave them 100 million in return, which made them very happy.
Stenson stayed behind to take care of the operation of the casino and told him to find a professional manager or a gang of four to take care of it.
As for Lin Dong, Xu Cheng planned to take him to the Land of Mercenaries for training.
Lin Dong also had the same idea, so he volunteered to go with Xu Cheng.
Haber invited a team of 100 people, all of whom were brave and willing to do anything for money. Although their skills and professionalism weren't up to par, it was enough. If they could go to a place like that, what else was there to worry about?
Haber would also pay their expenses to their team after the event.
Luo Yi knew Xu Cheng was coming, so he drove a total of 10 pickup trucks to the border of the Land of Mercenaries to pick them up.
The Land of Mercenaries was very boring. It was either a desert or a barren wasteland with smoke everywhere.
Sometimes, you might not even see a single person on a long sandy road.
Big and small mud houses could always be seen along the way. Those were all villages that collapsed because of the war, and now no one lived there. The entire Land of Mercenaries was very dry and hot. If it wasn't for the fact that they had nowhere else to go, who would want to take root in a place like this?
The group of people stopped at a transfer station to refuel and resupply, and Luo Yi reported the situation to Xu Cheng from a nearby hotel.
Xu Cheng curiously asked, "We heard gunshots along the way. Why isn't there any in this area?"
Luo Yi said, "We've been on the edge of the war along the way, so the sound of gunfire is incessant. This is the armistice zone. It's a place where crossfire is prohibited.
Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows. "There's someone behind this?"
Luo Yi nodded. "The local government is corrupt and incompetent. They don't have the construction capacity and funds to provide the convenience of life. Only the various countries are in charge of the transportation channels, so they are jointly responsible for the management and construction of these cities. To put it bluntly, no one is allowed to cause trouble in these cities. Not to mention, other than the biggest profit from crude oil, these types of cities are also very profitable."
Xu Cheng nodded. "Of course. You have to eat and drink if you fight all day. Plus, there is a transportation city profitable too. That's how you get rich from war. "
"Kuk" Kuk, "Dong. there, I, I, I, I, I, I have in in up in up in in with in with with with. with, that I, in, I in, I, I, in with." Kutch has five cities of its own, and I saw that each of the four major families also has one. It's not a small scale. "
Xu Cheng asked, "How many members do we have now?"
Luo Yi awkwardly smiled. "About 80 people. Although it's a small number, it's reliable, and they're all good fighters."
Hearing this number, Xu Cheng was a bit embarrassed. "You guys have been working for so long, and it's only 80 people? If I eliminate them, wouldn't it be even smaller? "
Luo Yi said, "It's mainly because we haven't won any battles, nor have we participated in any. No one knows the reputation of the Mercenary Group yet, and if we can win a few battles, we can attract more people to join us. Big Brother Cheng, you haven't been here for a long time, so Li Wei and I can only do intelligence work first. The two of us are barely at the S level, but we don't want to win before we win, so we want to take the steady route. Our current territory was won by me and Luo Yi. Big Brother Cheng, you don't know this, but we don't have many people in the group. Even if we expand our territory, you don't have anyone to manage it. We are in a dilemma. First, we don't have enough people, and second, we can't win battles and recruit more people. These two are interconnected. "
At this moment, the other nine pickup truck drivers, who were also members of the mercenary group, came over to greet them.
Luo Yi pointed at Xu Cheng and introduced them, "This is the founder of our Mercenary Group, Li Wei and my boss!"
Xu Cheng shook hands with the nine burly guys, and they politely said to Xu Cheng, "I've been hearing Luo Yi talk about you for a long time, and I finally get to meet you today. That Mercenary Group is an alliance with a leader, right?"
"Chris, Italian." Luo Yi was about to introduce them one by one.
Chris interrupted him and said, "From the moment we entered the Land of Mercenaries, nationality doesn't matter. Here, there's no distinction between countries, only alliances. Strictly speaking, when I escaped here, my nationality was already revoked, so I'm now an anonymous person!"
Xu Cheng: "Well said. Chris, right? My surname is Xu. "
Chris reached out and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Boss Xu."
Luo Yi then introduced the others. "Curt, Walla, Dussel, Chekosov, Zhang Xiu …"
Xu Cheng saw the name Zhang Xiu, and seeing that he had an Asian face, he curiously asked, "Why did you come here?"
Zhang Xiu straightforwardly said, "Murder, life imprisonment! That's why I came here. "
Xu Cheng looked at the group of people and asked, "Who's been here the longest?"
Chris raised his hand. "Me, I've been here for nine years."
Xu Cheng asked, "Why didn't you join another alliance and chose us?"
Chris: "I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix! I'm a wily old fox. Because I don't have money, I can't form my own allied army. However, I don't want to join other allied armies that are suspected of interfering with other countries and become their executioner. All these years, I've been following the flow and waiting for an opportunity. If there's a ready-made allied army for me to be the leader, with my experience, I can make this allied army go further. "
Xu Cheng smiled, and then he looked at Zhang Xiu and the others and asked, "What about you guys? Why did you join us? "
Zhang Xiu smiled. "Can I say it's for the tattoo of the Mercenary Group?"
The others all chimed in, "I just want to live."
Chekosov: "I'm just here for the commission. After I earn enough, I'll go back."
Walla from Thailand said, "I'm not going back. My family wants me to become a human or a monster to earn money. I choose to die like a man rather than end my life like that."
