: Shadow of the Giant Snake
Chapter 1367: Shadow of the Giant Snake
In the woods on the border, there is an open space that was temporarily cleared. The area is about the size of two or three football fields and is filled with "houses" built with many simple work sheds and various tents.
People wearing various uniforms or carrying various identification patterns kept shuttling back and forth among these houses, some with serious expressions, some with alert eyes, or some laughing arrogantly, waiting for an opportunity to find "rich men" around to improve their lives.
In the midst of this chaos, which was tinged with a hint of murderousness, a man wearing brown glasses and a jacket with a giant snake emblem was sitting on the side of the road, silently watching the people around him.
Among them, quite a few vicious villains noticed the other party's gaze and tried to step forward to have some fun, but were dissuaded by the people around them.
The tail of the giant snake.
This was after the last war, when the situation of mercenaries was getting worse and worse. However, the Tail of the Giant Serpent, which still had strong profitability and extensive network of contacts, became the dream place for many mercenaries.
Any mercenary would be envious after knowing the situation of the Tail of the Giant Serpent.
Compared to the few and dangerous missions outside, the Serpent's Tail can always get some missions that are not very risky but have very generous rewards.
As other equally famous mercenary teams gradually declined, the Serpent's Tail successfully overtook them with this point and became one of the few mercenary teams that still maintains vitality and profitability among the many mercenary teams today.
"Hey. Why are you still sitting here? Everyone is inside!"
Just as the man was looking at the crowd, a strong white man with a big beard walked out of the house, stood next to the man and spoke.
The sturdy white man was the intelligence expert of the Serpent's Tail, Reed Weller.
"Just sit for a while."
Cong Yunhe nodded slightly and spoke.
"Come in first! There are some things that require you to make a decision."
Reed Weller glanced at the crowd and suddenly seemed to see a familiar figure.
"No. I'll just sit here for a while. We'll talk about things later."
Cong Yunhe seemed to have discovered something. He did not heed the calls of his companions, but firmly chose to stay outside.
Reed Weller was a little confused, but seemed to have discovered a clue.
Before he could speak, the other party showed up on his own initiative.
A man wearing a tattered military uniform with all insignias removed stood out from the crowd and came in front of Cong Yunhe and Reed Weller.
"Long time no see! Reed Weller."
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he stated that he was an old acquaintance of Reed Weller.
"You? Are you Marco?"
Reed Weller was stunned for a moment, and after careful identification, he looked at the other party in surprise.
In his memory, Marco had died in the war several years ago.
"I was lucky enough to survive that year. After lying in bed for a year, I finally stood up again."
The other party understood Reed Weller's surprise, then smiled and told him about his recent situation in a calm and relaxed manner.
"The person who has been monitoring us, is it you, or is it someone else?"
Cong Yunhe ignored this and just looked around.
"Your Excellency Cong Yunhe, your words are too kind. We just want to ask you to help us deal with some things."
"Dealing with something? Marco. You should have left the Earth Union by now, right?"
Reed Weller narrowed his eyes, and a hint of caution flashed under them.
In the midst of the raging war, they had faked their death and escaped until now, only to suddenly appear in front of them, claiming that they were needed and that they needed the Giant Serpent's Tail to handle some matters?
The current situation,
The land beneath your feet,
Almost in an instant, Reed Weller understood what the so-called matter was. "Yes! What am I doing staying in such a rotten place? Am I going to be treated like a dog by those high-ranking people?"
Marco snorted coldly, a hint of resentment flashing across his expression, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Forget it! Let's not talk about this. Cong Yunhe, the ace of the Giant Serpent's Tail, I want you to complete a commission."
Marco changed the subject and stared at Cong Yunhe closely.
"Wait. We don't know the content of the commission yet? At least let..."
Reed Weller spoke quickly.
This is their usual procedure when accepting commissions, but it was broken today.
"I accept! Tell me the reward! If the reward is not satisfactory to me, I will refuse it."
Cong Yunhe's words stunned Reed Weller on the spot.
He finally reacted and quickly pulled Cong Yunhe aside.
"Wait! He. The situation is so tense right now. If we accept the commission rashly, we might have to face off against the Alliance's MS forces."
"Well, I see."
Cong Yunhe nodded, but did not change his mind.
"Hey! Wait! Hey, you also know how foul those Iron Man MS troops of the Alliance are within the range of the solar power generation system! Endless energy support, extremely tough armor and terrifying energy weapons, they are simply not something that we mercenaries can contend with!"
"It's okay! This time, we shouldn't be facing the alliance's MS forces."
Cong Yunhe turned his gaze to Marco.
Marco smiled softly.
"Yes. Lord Cong Yunhe is right. This time, we only need you, the Giant Serpent's Tail, to help us destroy something. Of course, in order to ensure the commission is carried out, we have also invited three other mercenary teams. I hope Lord Cong Yunhe can understand."
"No problem. Talk about the reward!"
Cong Yunhe didn't seem to care about this, but instead kept emphasizing the reward.
Marco was not displeased by this. Instead, the smile on his face became even brighter.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card, placing it on the table.
"This is an advance payment. After the matter is completed, we will not only give you a reward that will satisfy everyone at the Serpent's Tail, but we are also willing to provide you with some technical support!"
Cong Yunhe reached out, picked up the card, glanced at it, and threw it to Reed Weller.
"Okay! Giant Serpent Tail has accepted this commission. Let's talk about the content!"
"Very good! We need the Giant Serpent's Tail to enter Victoria Airport and completely destroy a convoy that is parked in the cargo area. The time of action is midnight three days from now. Here are the gathering coordinates. I hope everyone from the Giant Serpent's Tail can arrive on time!"
After Marco finished speaking, he took off his hat, saluted the two men, then turned and disappeared into the crowd.
"Captain Cong Yun! Your Excellency Cong Yun! Cong Yun He!!! You have given the Giant Serpent's Tail a hot potato. This is a big trouble!! Everyone knows that Victoria Airport is a bottomless pit! Whoever goes there will come out sideways!"
As soon as Marco left, Reid Weller couldn't help but start complaining.
"It doesn't matter! This time the reward is our bonus! Check it carefully and put it away carefully! If the other party regrets it, our bonus will be gone."
When Cong Yunhe returned to the room, he spoke in a voice that only Reed Weller could hear.
Reed Weller was stunned, and suddenly realized that things did not seem to be that simple.
