Ray Mingkai shook his head helplessly as he looked at the fierce villagers around him. He then gestured to the camera hanging around his neck.
"I don't mean any harm. I'm just a reporter who came here to collect information. "
"Reporter?!"
When the villagers heard Ray Mingkai's explanation, they suddenly laughed.
"You're a soldier of the Federation! Not a reporter! Don't think you can fool us with that stupid camera! "
Among the mocking laughter, there were voices that denied Ray Mingkai's identity. Although, their denial was indeed true.
Ray Mingkai was never a reporter.
The identity of a reporter hanging on his head was just an identity created for the convenience of moving around in the mechanized mixed brigade's base in the Federation.
Therefore, Ray Mingkai's expression was very calm. He was not affected by the mocking laughter around him. He didn't even care about the muzzles that were tightly locked on him.
However, Ray Mingkai's calmness angered the villagers who pointed their guns at Ray Mingkai.
Ever since the war between Jeon and the Federation began in this rainforest, the villagers who had been ravaged by the flames of war had armed themselves in order to make a living. From the moment they joined forces with their companions to seek revenge, the villagers had personally witnessed, captured, beaten, and even executed the sinners who had started the war.
Those soldiers who used to be insufferably arrogant, piloting tanks, helicopters, and even MS, which was the key to the victory or defeat of a war, when the soldiers pointed their guns at them, the fear shown by the pilots was still talked about enthusiastically by the villagers until now.
"Kacha!"
The bullet was loaded.
"Get on the ground! Goddamn Federation Army! "
The calmer Ray Mingkai was, the angrier the villagers were. Because the villagers didn't know if Ray Mingkai had other companions hiding in the rainforest not far away.
Therefore, a gunshot was heard.
"Bang!"
Before the smoke from the muzzle dissipated, a small crater formed by the bullet appeared beside Lei Mingkai's feet.
There was no doubt that this was a scare shot.
However, Ray Mingkai didn't make any moves at all.
Moreover, from the forest behind him, there was a clear, delicate voice of a young girl.
"You, what are you doing? A group of people is surrounding here! "
The appearance of this voice caused the villagers surrounding Lei Mingkai to retreat slightly, and the muzzles of their guns lowered slightly. However, that cold expression still hung on everyone's faces.
Ray Mingkai glanced at the villagers who temporarily lowered their guns and looked back at the forest behind him.
A group of people wearing shabby clothes and holding rusty semi-automatic rifles walked out of the forest one after another. Among this group of people, there was a little girl who was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Her hair was a little messy and was only casually tied up with a hair band.
It seemed that the young girl's identity.
Lei Mingkai's gaze lingered on the little girl for a moment before he shifted his gaze towards the crowd.
It didn't matter if he didn't look or not.
"What a surprise! Captain Amada. How did I meet you here? "
In the crowd, Ray Mingkai saw a young man wearing the Federation's military uniform.
He was Shiro Amada, who led the eighth squad out to carry out a reconnaissance mission earlier.
What Ray Mingkai didn't expect was that in this historical process where the sixth squad wasn't severely injured and didn't ask for help from the eighth squad, Shiro Amada, who shouldn't have been captured, actually appeared here.
"Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai?! You, why are you here?! "
Shiro Amada, whose hands were tied behind his back and his movements were controlled, saw Ray Mingkai surrounded by the villagers and shouted in surprise and joy.
"Second Lieutenant, could it be that you know the people here? Just in time … "
"Shut up!"
Shiro Amada's surprise didn't last long before he was attacked by the gunman standing behind him with the butt of his gun.
Ray Mingkai looked at Shiro Amada's defeated look and shook his head helplessly. Then, he looked at the little girl standing in front of the crowd.
"Excuse me, are you the leader here?"
Although Ray Mingkai asked this question, in fact, he had already guessed the identity of this little girl.
Qiqi.
Qiqi Lokita.
She was the daughter of the leader of the gunmen active in this area, and also the girl who had a crush on Shiro Amada in the original work.
It seemed that the encounter between Qiqi and Shiro Amada would still happen even with the influence of Ray Mingkai, an external factor.
"You, you are also from the Federation's army? Hmph! It seems that you still recognize this bad guy! Forget it! Men. Tie him up and bring him to the leader. "
The little girl, Qiqi, didn't ask about Ray Mingkai's identity and why the villagers surrounded him. She just relied on the conversation between Ray Mingkai and Shiro Amada just now and made a decision.
However.
Shiro Amada would be captured without a fight, but it didn't mean that Ray Mingkai would be captured without a fight.
"Wait. I came here because I want to see your leader. "
Ray Mingkai picked up the camera hanging around his neck and waved it as he explained to Qiqi.
"I'm just a war reporter. The reason I came here is nothing more than to interview you and make some equivalent transactions. "
"Reporter? Transactions? "
Qiqi was stunned and glanced suspiciously at the camera in Ray Mingkai's hand. She didn't seem to believe Ray Mingkai's words.
But in the next moment, Shiro Amada shouted again.
"Yes! That's right! The second lieutenant is a war reporter. He's just here to interview you! "
When Shiro Amada shouted like this, Ray Mingkai's eyebrows suddenly twitched.
Although he knew that Shiro Amada was still in the state of a hothead when he had just come to Earth from the universe, knowing and experiencing were two different things.
Fortunately, Qiqi seemed to be a little shaken.
"You, go and get that guy's camera."
Qiqi pointed casually and called someone to go forward and ask Ray Mingkai for his camera.
Lei Mingkai, on the other hand, generously handed his camera over. No matter how much Qiqi studied it, she probably wouldn't be able to find anything.
Therefore, the result was, of course, after Qiqi looked at Ray Mingkai's camera several times, she no longer insisted on tying up Ray Mingkai. Instead, she arranged for two sturdy men to follow Ray Mingkai.
"Come with me! We'll talk about the transaction you mentioned later. But don't play any tricks. Otherwise, our bullets won't spare you just because you're from the Federation Army. "
Strictly speaking, Qiqi's threat didn't feel threatening at all.
After all, even if she was the daughter of the militant leader, she was still just an underage girl.
The villagers who surrounded Ray Mingkai were dispersed.
And Qiqi also brought Ray Mingkai and Amada Shiro to a big house in the depths of the village.
This might be Qiqi's house, which was also the militant leader's house.
Perhaps because they were interested in the transaction Ray Mingkai mentioned, Ray Mingkai and Amada Shiro, well, especially Amada Shiro, didn't suffer any abuse. They were just pressed down on the stool and couldn't move. They could only desperately signal Ray Mingkai with their eyes.
This was because Amada Shiro knew that if he opened his mouth, he would definitely be taught a lesson. Fortunately, at this moment, he wasn't alone.
"Creak."
At the same time, there was a slight sound of a heavy object rolling over a wooden board. At the same time, a man in a wheelchair with an eyepatch over his left eye was pushed out of the house by Qiqi. He appeared in front of Ray Mingkai and Amada Shiro.
"You're the reporter that Qiqi mentioned?"
The one-eyed man's eyes looked at Amada Shiro and Ray Mingkai, and then fell on Ray Mingkai.
"Yes. Hello! You must be the leader of these people, right? "Lei Mingkai nodded and admitted his identity without hesitation.
"Yes. I'm their boss. You can call me Lokita. Mr. Reporter, what's your name? "
The one-eyed man's attitude seemed to be very good. As he introduced himself, he raised his hand to signal his subordinates to loosen the suppression on Amada Shiro.
Of course.
These gestures of goodwill were all built on the basis of the deal that Lei Mingkai had mentioned earlier.
If the bargaining chip that Ray Mingkai brought out later didn't meet the one-eyed man's requirements, Amada Shiro and even Ray Mingkai himself would be in danger.
"Ray Mingkai. Mr. Lokita. Time is of the essence. I'll get straight to the point! "
Ray Mingkai glanced at Amada Shiro, who was still winking at him, and directly put the bargaining chip on the table.
"As you can see. I'm a reporter! Today I'm here to interview you and get some information that you know but our Federation doesn't. "
As he said this, Ray Mingkai raised his hand and took out an A4 paper from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it to the one-eyed man.
"Of course. If you accept my request for an interview and provide us with reliable information, then, all the materials on this list will be yours. "
The one-eyed man, namely Lokita, didn't answer him at once. After exchanging glances with his daughter Chichi, Chichi took the list and studied it carefully before passing it to Lokita.
After a while, Lokita, who had roughly read the list, raised his eyes and stared at Ray Mingkai.
There was no denying it.
Ray Mingkai's list had undoubtedly hit Lokita, and even the entire armed group's weakness.
Drugs,
Food,
Even weapons were the most scarce materials in their armed group.
Although there weren't many weapons on this list, the amount of drugs and food was enough for the entire armed group to use for three months, which was enough to move Lokita's heart.
"I need a guarantee!"
Lokita opened his mouth and immediately retorted.
"No. Whether it's the Federation's soldiers or the Gion Army's guarantee, we can't trust it. Compared to this empty piece of paper, I believe in the real thing more. "
Looking at Lokita's calm appearance, Ray Mingkai slightly shook his head.
This was something that Lei Mingkai had foreseen.
"One-third of the materials on the list are now at the coordinates C323. It's not far from here, so you can send someone to check it. "
Ray Mingkai casually pulled a stool from the side and sat down, showing a look of 'I've already said it, and now it's up to you.'
Lei Mingkai's aboveboard counterattack made Lokita stunned for quite a while. At the same time, he gained a new recognition about this young man who claimed to be a war correspondent.
"Hahahahaha! Good! Cool! You, you, you, go to the coordinates he said! "
"Wait!"
When Lokita's men went out to check the materials, Ray Mingkai stopped them and threw a hand-drawn map to them.
"This is a map in case you can't find the place. Although it's hand-drawn, I think you can find it since you're born and raised here. "
Lokita stared at his men who were holding the map in a daze, and after driving them out, he stared at Ray Mingkai.
"I didn't expect there to be such an interesting … second lieutenant in the Federation's army. Very good! Very good! "
"I'm just an ordinary person. Leader Lokita, can you let go of my colleague now? "
Ray Mingkai smiled slightly, indicating that he was not worthy of Lokita's praise.
Lokita glanced at Amada Shiro, snorted slightly, and signaled his men to let go of Amada Shiro.
"Young, second lieutenant! Quick! Quickly tell them to let me go! The combat mission is about to start! "
Once he was let go, Amada Shiro immediately rushed to Ray Mingkai and said quickly.
In the conversation between Ray Mingkai and Lokita just now, Amada Shiro could see that Ray Mingkai already had some authority. Therefore, in order to ensure the combat plan he made not long ago, Amada Shiro immediately asked Ray Mingkai for help.
"Combat plan?!"
Ray Mingkai frowned, and subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall.
15: 10.
"It can't be so coincidental, right?"
Surprise flashed across Ray Mingkai's face.
His mind was also quickly replaying what happened at the edge of the jungle just now.
It turned out that the wheel of history was still firmly turning along the original track.
The reason why Amada Shiro was so anxious.
It was probably when Karin, Sandas, Elidoya, and the others from the 8th Squad were attacking Gion's stronghold in the nearby village.
"Captain Amada. Calm down! We will catch up. "
Ray Mingkai had just comforted Captain Amada.
The people who went out to check the situation of the supplies hurriedly rushed into the house.
"Bo … Boss!! The … the supplies … are real!! So … so many!! "
Looking at his subordinate who was out of breath but whose face was full of joy, Lokita's remaining right eye flashed with a bright light. He asked Qiqi to push him in front of Lei Mingkai and raised his hand to indicate, "Let's go."
"Good! Since you have already expressed your sincerity, then we have a deal! "
"Hehe. Thank you very much, leader! But, now, I have a presumptuous request. "
After Ray Mingkai reached out and shook hands with Lokita, he immediately made a request.
"En? Is it this team captain's combat mission? Sure. But, we need to get half of the supplies of those Gion bastards! "
Lokita straightforwardly agreed to Ray Mingkai's request and raised the condition.
"No problem! Now, can I go back? "Amada Shiro, who cared about his teammates, immediately agreed when he heard that he could go back.
"En. Chi-Chi, you lead the way. Then, this reporter friend, can you stay here and chat with this old man? "
"Of course."
