The video followed Jessie and the two children until they walked into the medical area surrounded by barbed wire, the gate and the nearby security guards.
Solomon asked Christmas to watch it again before he got up and bowed to William. He kept thanking him incoherently. He now really believed in William's sincerity.
William helped him find his wife and daughter and provided them with a safe environment without hunger. He had indirectly saved his family. He had to rely on William to find his son and even save his son, Dia.
Therefore, Solomon didn't reject William's mission at all. Instead, there was a faint inexplicable excitement in his heart. Solomon couldn't help but look forward to the mission when he thought about completing the mission, finding the diamond, and getting 3 million dollars, and his family could live in a country without war.
His eyes looking at William were no longer full of vigilance and distrust as before.
"Christmas, give Solomon some equipment. I need to know his every move so that we can take countermeasures."
"Understood, boss." Christmas nodded and turned to go out to get the equipment. After a while, Christmas came back and Solomon saw Christmas walking to him with a pair of ordinary shoes, an inconspicuous belt, and a small box.
"This is a size 10 shoe. After conversion, it is a size 45 shoe. There is a receiver in the left and right heels. The transmission distance is 5 kilometers. Looking at your feet, size 45 should be enough."
Solomon quickly took off his shoes, sat on the ground and put on the shoes that Christmas brought. After putting them on, he stood up and walked around and said, "Just right, no problem." Then, he put on the belt and put the earphones in his ears. The microphone was embedded in the belt buckle.
After adjusting the earphones and locator, Christmas joked with Solomon, "Be careful, Solomon. This set of equipment is worth 120,000 dollars. Especially the earphones in your ears that are the size of rice grains are worth 100,000 dollars. Don't lose them."
The price made Solomon so surprised that he couldn't speak. He stared at Christmas with his mouth open, making William, Barney, and Christmas laugh.
After laughing, William said, "Alright, Christmas, stop scaring him." He took out a map and spread it out on the table. "Where's the mine?"
Solomon looked at the map for a long time but still couldn't pinpoint the exact location. He only knew that it was about 20 kilometers north of his village. If he wanted to know the exact location, he could only rely on a car or walk.
However, this was not a problem for William. The mining area was so big. As long as he went to Solomon's village and released the Blackpeak drone, he would definitely be able to find it.
William looked at the map and realized that the distance between Freetown and Solomon's village was only about 180 kilometers. The doe's combat radius of 310 kilometers was more than enough to find the mine.
"Xmas, take your men and the Black Edge UAV with the Hind Helicopter to search. Don't be in a hurry to take action when you find the mine." With that, William asked Solomon, "Do you have a photo of Dia?"
When Solomon heard this, he was shocked for a moment. Then, he shook his head with a sad expression. "No, when the rebels went to my village, I didn't have time to bring anything else."
"This is difficult, Solomon. It seems that you can only wait until you go to the mining area and see if you can find your son."
Looking at the time, Solomon had been here for almost 2 hours. William let Solomon return to the lobby to continue working and wait for someone to find him. When he was about to leave, William reminded him,
"Be natural, Solomon. Think about the 3 million USD, think about your wife and children, and the days when you go to Europe in the future. Then think about your current life. Aren't you full of energy?"
"Understood, Mr. Devonshire. Don't worry, I'll do it well." Solomon rubbed his face. When he put his hand down, his expression had changed back to that of a simple and honest man. This made William very satisfied. He instructed Solomon to dirty the surface of the new shoes and rub off the paint on the belt buckle.
Solomon looked at the new shoes and belt on his feet and nodded with a little heartache. He knew what William meant. At the same time, he was surprised that William could be so meticulous. He secretly became vigilant. "Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. I'll do as you say after I leave the building. Goodbye, sir."
After Solomon left, Antonov walked in with an anxious face. "Boss, I just received news that the rebels are only 30 kilometers away. The government troops might not be able to defend Freetown. What should we do?"
"So fast?" William looked at Antonov in surprise. "Didn't they say that they were 100 kilometers away? How could they be 70 kilometers away in a day? F * ck, these useless people. Are the government troops sleepwalking? Did they let the rebels drive to Freetown on a cruise? "
After William finished cursing, Antonov suggested, "Boss, we should leave the city first and go to the Zero Hour base outside the city. It's north of Freetown and near the sea. If the situation is urgent, we can retreat by sea. Also, the rebels probably won't go north after taking over Freetown."
William nodded. "Barney, let the remaining members of the suicide squad take turns to release the Blackpeak drones. I want to know the exact time the rebels will enter the city. Also, arrange for a ship to be on standby outside the base. If we can't rent it, we'll buy it."
He then asked Antonov, "Antonov, do any of your people know how to pilot a ship?"
"Of course, Boss. Not to mention a ship, we know how to pilot anything that can move. There are a few people in the squad who know how to pilot a fighter jet."
"Looks like you're really poor." Antonov's words surprised William. How poor must a fighter jet pilot be to go abroad to become a mercenary?
Antonov shrugged helplessly.
"Leave 12 of your squad's strongest fighters here. They'll be on standby with us. The rest of you, go to the base first. Tell your men not to engage in combat unless there's a threat. This isn't our country, and our mission has nothing to do with the government or the rebels. Don't meddle in other people's business," William said.
"Understood." William's words were exactly what Antonov wanted. He was afraid that William would suddenly have a sense of justice and want to help innocent people. He happily took out his walkie-talkie and assigned tasks to his squad. The Zero Hour base also began to be on alert.
Two hours later, bad news came. The people Barney had bribed told him that the chances of defending Freetown were not high. They were to prepare to leave the city as soon as possible. The rebels would enter the city by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
There were still two days left. William was relieved. As long as the rebels did not enter the city today, there would be a lot of time left for him. William let Barney and Antonov go out to deal with their own matters.
Holding a glass of wine, he walked to the balcony and looked at the sea. He wondered if he should let the 2,000 southern mercenaries occupy the mine first, and then pretend to be miners and mine militants to wait for General Jett Frobby's men to walk into the trap.
If he did not ambush them, William was worried that the 2,000 Zero Hour mercenaries would be defeated by General Jett Frobby's men in a few rounds.
However, the timing of occupying the mine had to be handled properly. If it was too early, he was afraid that the news would leak and Jett Frobby would find out. If it was too late, he was afraid that there would not be enough time.
However, William was determined this time. No matter how much money he had to pay, he would get rid of the hidden danger, Jett Frobby, so as to prevent Jett Frobby from retaliating in the future.
