As soon as they left, Mario snorted and said, "Can't they find a hole to hide in if they have fewer people? The hole in our backyard is more than enough to last through the winter. "
Xu Cheng asked curiously, "Is this type of competition really that serious?"
Vara nodded. "It's quite tragic. Think about it. Every country would find their most elite teams to compete. Anyway, every year, during this season, the number of mercenaries killed by the elite special forces of those countries could reach the level of a few thousand! I heard that there are 10 countries participating this year, and I don't know which region will be the unlucky one. In history, there was a legend where a 50-man team from a country directly wiped out a 500-man mercenary group, which is enough to show how powerful these special forces are. Mercenaries that don't band together are really no match for them. Say, that 30-man team just now was probably taken out by five special forces. "
Mario said, "But we have a hole to hide in here, so it should be fine."
At this moment, Professor Hawking walked over. "You guys are fine, but have you thought about these engineers? Why are there so many engineers? As long as they are experts, once they enter here and discover the underground structure, it's not hard to see the anti-seismic and anti-explosion design. Even an idiot would know what to do. "
Xu Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, we can't let those special forces find this place. It's not a big deal if the mercenary group finds out, but those special forces have countries behind them, and it'll be easy for them to guess what we are going to do."
Mario and the others looked at each other, and then they looked at Xu Cheng strangely and asked, "Then Big Brother Cheng, what do you mean?"
"Which country's special forces are coming? We need to protect this place and repel them," Xu Cheng said.
"Big Brother Cheng, are you kidding me?" Mario bitterly smiled. "The special forces that can participate in the competition are all world-class, with the weakest being A-rank and the strongest being S-rank. If we go against them, it'll be like throwing an egg against a rock."
"We have to make sure nothing happens here. Even if it's not for the project, we have to think about these engineers. We brought them in, so I have to be responsible for their safety. If there's a large-scale military exercise that affects this place, we have to protect it with our lives," Xu Cheng said with a determined tone.
Seeing how stubborn he was, the others could only listen.
Xu Cheng took out a cigarette and lit it. Then, he crossed his legs and sat on the wooden chair. He said to Zhang Xiu and the others, "Tell me about the competition. I still don't know much about it."
Chekov said, "Let me say it. As someone who has participated in the competition, I have more say."
He paced back and forth as he said, "I don't know much about the competition's retention or addition of other events, but at my time, the competition definitely had two events. First, Operation Decapitation. "
"Operation Decapitation? This technical term probably means to assassinate a leader, right? "Xu Cheng asked.
Chekov nodded. "That's right. Interpol is responsible for providing intelligence and clues. The target must be a troublemaker active in the Land of Mercenaries. Under normal circumstances, only an S-class international criminal can receive such treatment. The participating teams must ambush and behead this person. Whichever country succeeds will be the winner."
Xu Cheng asked, "For several countries to work together to hunt down a leader, this kind of list is definitely not simple, right?"
Chekov nodded. "Of course. Usually, only leaders who have their own troops can receive this kind of treatment. They might all be criminals in the past, and their crimes already exist. They can't just hide in the Land of Mercenaries and get away with it. That's why people say that the more crimes a fugitive has committed, the more they want to gather troops here. It's because they want to increase their bargaining chips to protect themselves."
Xu Cheng nodded. "Then what about the second event?"
Chekov: "The second event is to seize a prize. As the name suggests, it means to occupy. The prize might be a piece of land, an oil well, a diamond mine, etc. As long as the area or the profit is too big, it will also be the target of every country. Once a country gets it, it will be a gift. If the first event is responsible for wiping out the mercenaries, then the second event is a direct battle between countries. "
Xu Cheng was puzzled. "To put it bluntly, they never put the forces in the Land of Mercenaries in their eyes from the beginning. For the first event, they can just behead the leader, and for the second event, it's like a robbery. "
Chekov: "Something like that. Who told the local government to be so incompetent, and they don't even have the right to speak on the territory. From the standpoint of the countries, we helped you clear the obstacles, so you should give us some compensation. We don't want the land, just the mineral resources."
Xu Cheng said, "That might have nothing to do with us. First of all, none of us will become the target."
At this moment, Lin Dong interrupted, "Then, Master, what if our diamond mine gets exposed and becomes a prize land?"
"Then there's nothing else to say. Let's go out and beat them to death!" Xu Cheng said, "Maybe we can even make a name for ourselves."
Zhang Xiu bitterly smiled. "I think our chrysanthemums will probably get an S rank."
Chekov also bitterly smiled. "I heard that with the current military technology, the longest range of a sniper rifle is a few thousand meters. The Americans have a few new sniper rifles, and we are still using the old ones. If we were to fight, our snipers would have no advantage at all."
"Don't worry, it won't be our turn at all," Xu Cheng said. Then, he looked at them and asked, "If the target is killed, who will get the territory?"
Zhang Xiu: "Whoever gets it first. For example, if the target dies this time, and they're still the overlord of a region, then their territory will be in high demand, and whoever gets it first will get it. But usually, the big groups will reserve it in advance, unless you have the guts to try and take it for yourself."
Xu Cheng was actually a bit interested. "Then we can expand again."
"Come on, Big Brother Cheng, we have such a big territory, and we don't have that many people to guard it," Mario said.
Xu Cheng was definitely not stupid, and he was just casually saying it.
At this moment, Luo Yi's voice sounded, "Big Brother Cheng, another mercenary group is coming to form an alliance with the Falcon Mercenary Group."
Xu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shouted at Luo Yi in the sky, "Tell them to open their eyes wide and look at our flag. If they dare to call us Falcon Mercenary Group again, tell them that the Falcon Mercenary Group's fate will be theirs tomorrow."
Xu Cheng thought about it and couldn't help but say to Luo Yi, "Tell them, we can let them spend the winter here for free, and they don't need to pay any fees. We're honest with them."
Xu Cheng still wanted to expand the number of people in the mercenary group.
Luo Yi: "They left as soon as they heard we weren't the Falcon Mercenary Group."
Xu Cheng was furious, and he immediately cursed, "Motherf * cker, are they looking down on us? I'll make sure they can't even reach us in the future! "
