The sky was getting dark.
North of Mayotte, a cargo ship slowly sailed to the fishing port northwest of the island.
It was next to the slums of the Republic of Madagascar. Under the rows of dilapidated brick houses and shacks, disease, crime, and death were like garbage bags, mixed in the dirty alleys. There were only two types of people who would go here. One was the skinny poor, and the other was the strong murderers.
Black children sat on the edge of the dock in groups, looking curiously and vigilantly at the cargo ship and the offshore platform behind it. Although people from Arrow occasionally used the dock, it was the first time they saw such a weird thing.
Because of the arrival of the cargo ship, the originally messy dock became even more chaotic. The half-naked black men left in a hurry. A few naked black mercenaries with magazines on their bodies and AKs in their hands screamed and jumped onto the dock. Then, they gestured to the freighter.
"Three o 'clock, the black man with the hat, he is the hidden guard of Arrow. Five o 'clock, the guy waving at me is the informant responsible for contacting us. His name is long and tongue-twisting. I usually call him Andre … Can I talk back to him? "
"Look natural," Jiang Chen, who activated optical invisibility and stood next to him, whispered.
"Okay …"
Zaid squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, but it was not obvious under the cover of the night.
Zayad negotiated with the people at the dock and soon obtained permission to dock.
The other party sent a few sailors on board. The black man named Andre happily walked next to Zaid, slapped him hard on the arm, and said in Madagascar's common French.
"Hey, man, this is a big deal. You have to buy me a drink when it's done."
"Come on, let me confirm the account first." Zaid took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it up. He cursed, "Where is the docking ship? Do you want to drive this thing directly into your warehouse? "
"It'll be there in a moment," Andre said. "Right, where is Bageri? How come I don't see him? "
"He's in Somalia. I didn't bring him on this mission," Zaid said.
"Where is the hostage?"
"Fed to the fish." Zayad grinned cruelly.
Just from this smile, Andre could smell the strong smell of blood, so he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Hey, pretend I never asked."
Two hours ago, the frigate approached the cargo ship that had slowed down, and a platoon of Marines boarded the ship. The staff and crew of High Tech Freshwater boarded the frigate in small boats.
The clothes taken from the pirates came in handy. At this moment, the soldiers standing on the side of the ship with AKs were all Celestial Trade Marines. The kinetic skeleton was tightly hidden under the robe wrapped in rags, and the Reaper Rifle was hidden in his hand.
Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly and whispered to Captain Cramer, who was dressed as a pirate.
"You are not allowed to speak Chinese."
The white man, whose skin was red from the sun, grinned.
"Understood." (Arabic)
Jiang Chen nodded and signaled Ayesha behind him.
The two activated optical invisibility again and hid in the night.
Time passed very slowly. The warrior who was waiting had a feeling that every day was like a year.
Several sailors confirmed the safety of the ship, as well as the desalination platform behind the cargo ship, and then returned to the bow. After confirming the situation, Andre stood by the side of the ship, leaned against it, and made several calls in a row.
Soon, a cargo ship with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons appeared on the sea.
The cargo ship was obviously modified. The deck was cleared, and there were two helipads with two Black Hawk helicopters parked on them. The soldiers in desert-colored camouflage jumped onto the deck. Jiang Chen, Cramer, Zayad, and others all had their hearts in their throats.
It was the most critical moment!
These soldiers were obviously the elites of Arrow. If they exposed themselves, the plan would fail, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, the sky was dark, and Jiang Chen didn't expose himself. Perhaps because they had cooperated with Zayad many times, these Arrow soldiers also relaxed their vigilance. They just walked from the bow to the stern, unloaded the offshore platform from the back of the cargo ship, and connected it to their own cargo ship with a steel cable.
"Where's the money?" Zayad said to the mercenary who contacted him.
"It has already been transferred to the account," the mercenary said with a blank expression.
When Zayad heard this sentence, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't worried about Arrow scamming his money. All he thought about now was that he had to quickly transfer the money from the Swiss bank to the Russian bank account. Putting money in Europe always made him feel unsafe. After all, he heard that the shareholders of Arrow were Europeans, and they belonged to a large family.
After completing the delivery of the "goods," the Arrow mercenaries immediately returned to their ship and began to return with the desalination platform. In two days, the desalination platform would be towed to Europe, and German engineers would study its structure.
Arrow's ship went away, but Zayad's clenched fists tightened.
Because he knew that as soon as the ship left, it was time for the real show.
"All the work is done. Let's go and have a drink on the island." Andrea laughed and patted Zayad's shoulder.
"You go first, I'm a little dizzy." Zayad pinched the bridge of his nose, pretending to be a little uncomfortable, and wanted to send him away.
"Haha, don't tell me you're seasick, buddy!" Andre laughed weirdly.
Pirates are seasick?
This joke was really creative.
Just as the two were joking, the cargo ship slowly approached the port.
Under the cover of the night, an Aurora-20 quietly arrived over Mayotte.
"Archer-1 has arrived over the target, requesting instructions …"
The backward radar of the Republic of Madagascar was almost defenseless against Celestial Trade's fighter jets. Knowing that Arrow had infiltrated the Madagascar government, Jiang Chen didn't even ask those guys for instructions on tonight's action.
And he would never admit to tonight's action.
The pilot's report came into his ear. Jiang Chen took out the rifle from his back and whispered.
"Turn off the lights for them."
"Roger."
After the communication was cut off, Archer-1 skillfully opened the safety cover with his fingers …
Then, he pressed the red button with his thumb.
A black bomb attached to the belly of the plane separated from the Aurora-20 and accelerated toward the clouds.
At the moment it touched the clouds, the bomb suddenly exploded, and the blue electric light spread across the clouds. High-energy particles were ejected and collided with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the air. The entire cloud was like an electrode plate, projecting a strong instantaneous electric field to the entire Mayotte Island.
"Is there thunder?"
The noise in the air caught Andrea's attention. He took off the burning cigar and looked at the clear night sky.
"Maybe," Zayad said vaguely, quietly distancing himself from Andree.
The lights suddenly went out, and the night eroded the entire coast in an instant.
"What's wrong, buddy? You don't look right — "
Andre's words came to an abrupt halt. There was a bloody hole on his forehead.
Zayad closed his eyes and squatted on the ground with his hands on his head.
[Buddy, sorry … I had no choice.]
The sound of gunfire suppressed by the silencer rang.
The killing had begun!
