People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon - Chapter 861:
Chapter 861: King Canaan (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“They are saying that you are amazing and hope that you can join them…” Nami was also excited.” Zhao Yu, with you joining us, the strength of our mercenary group will definitely increase by two or three levels…”
“That exaggerated?!”
Zhao Yu was stunned. Wasn’t it just a Gatling gun? It is not a laser beam or rocket launcher that could destroy a building.”
For the next day, Zhao Yu was at the shooting range, practicing with the Canaanites who did not understand the language. He also familiarized himself with firearms while Nami went to accept missions.
Although he could not understand what these people were saying, he could tell from the fanaticism and worship they showed.
During this period, there were even female mercenaries who intentionally or unintentionally touched Zhao Yu’s thigh, making him feel slightly awkward.
However, a day of practice was not without gains. After Zhao Yu familiarized himself with firearms, his accuracy increased again.
Especially the Gatling gun, which could compress bullets within a one-meter radius within a two-hundred-meter range. It was simply terrifying.
The next morning, Nami came looking for him.
“Zhao Yu, I’ve accepted a job that’s related to Da Xia. The money is also very rewardable…”
“Of course, the most important thing is that it has something to do with the Wakun Warlord that you have a grudge against…”
“The daughter of a wealthy businessman from Da Xia was kidnapped to Canaan. The kidnappers sold her to a criminal group under the Wakun warlord…” Nami introduced.
“Now, this group is negotiating with a wealthy businessman and wants a ransom of 100 million yuan…”
“However, the wealthy merchants of Da Xia did not believe them. They were afraid that they would still kill the hostages after taking the money, so they came to us…”
She shrugged and said,” Canaan’s side is too chaotic. Killing hostages is common. It’s very normal…”
“It’s related to the Wakun warlords. No mercenary group stationed in Canaan dares to take the job, so this big contract has fallen to us…”
She didn’t specify the exact amount, but she told Zhao Yu that if he joined the mission, he would receive a bonus of five hundred thousand once it was completed.
“I’m in!”
Zhao Yu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Getting five hundred thousand for rescuing someone was quite a hefty sum.
“Great, with your addition, our mission should be much easier to accomplish!”
Seeing Zhao Yu agree, Nami quickly left.
As the leader, she had a lot to handle.
However, Zhao Yu started pondering quietly.
“Earlier, Nami said that no other mercenary group dared to take the job because it involved the Wakun warlords, so it fell to them…”
“If other mercenary groups don’t dare to take it, why does Nami?”
“Either she has some powerful backing, or she has a grudge against the Wakun warlords herself!”
Zhao Yu speculated silently, leaning heavily towards the second possibility.
After all, he had escaped from the Wakun warlords, and when Nami and her team found him, they didn’t sell him back to the warlords but kept him instead.
The mission required rescuing the hostage as quickly as possible, so it wasn’t long before Nami sent someone to call him to depart.
Sitting in the vehicle, everyone else had already been assigned their tasks by Nami. When it was Zhao Yu’s turn, she came over to explain personally.
After all, Zhao Yu was the only Da Xian citizen in the group, and Nami was the only one who spoke his language.
“Our mission this time is divided into three parts…”
“First is to locate the hostage, second is to rescue the hostage, and third is to cover the retreat and hold off pursuing enemies…”
“Parts one and two require light gear, so you won’t be needed for those…”
“Your task is in the third part, covering the retreat and acting as rear guard…”
“This criminal group’s camp has about fifty armed thugs…”
“The most important thing is that this camp is not far from a Wakun warlord garrison with around two hundred soldiers…”
“So the real challenge is to hold off those soldiers, and that will be up to you…”
Nami smiled, “Of course, you don’t need to be too nervous. We’ll lay mines during the retreat to ease your burden…”
“You’ll also have three snipers with you, targeting enemy leaders to create as much chaos as possible…”
“Do you understand your task now?”
Zhao Yu nodded quickly, “Understood!”
This was his first mission, and he was determined to perform flawlessly.
“Good!”
Seeing that Zhao Yu understood, Nami went off to attend to other matters.
Soon, their convoy reached a point three hundred meters from the criminal group’s camp.
Their mercenary group had deployed over twenty people for this mission. Though their numbers seemed small, each was highly trained, former elite soldiers far superior to common thugs who just knew how to pull a trigger.
“Zhao Yu, this is the route the Wakun warlord’s reinforcements must take. You’ll block it…”
Nami’s face was serious, “Our successful retreat depends entirely on you…”
“Our team has other heavy weapons specialists, but they’re on another mission and can’t support us right now…”
Zhao Yu knew this. Nami’s mercenary group had a large number of personnel, with seventy to eighty combat members and two to three hundred in support roles.
Zhao Yu even suspected they might be part of a tribe, considering their base was hidden deep in the mountains, clearly avoiding someone.
“Understood, I will do my best to delay them…”
Zhao Yu nodded, his palms sweating. This was his first large-scale combat operation, and it was impossible not to feel nervous.
