Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 435 Reaching Guatemala
A week after checking the information, Liang En and his group of 12 departed from Dublin by plane, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and went straight to La Aurora International Airport in the capital of Guatemala.

Unlike previous trips where there were usually only two or three people, this time in addition to Liang En, Fan Meng and Joan of Arc, there was also an eight-member armed team hired from a French security company to take charge of the security work.

This was mainly because unlike the places Liang En had been to, the security conditions in Guatemala were very poor, so he spent a lot of effort in finding a reliable security company during the preparations.

Originally, Liang En planned to use personnel from the newly established security company at the mines in the Sinai Peninsula. After all, these Copts were definitely more reliable than others, but after asking, he had no choice but to give up this plan.

After all, the target of their operation this time is located in the tropical rainforest of Central America, and this location is simply unable to exert their strength for the Copts who are better at deserts and cities.

So after repeated selection, he chose a security company suggested by Fan Meng. The main personnel in it were all retired soldiers of the French Foreign Legion, and several of them were comrades in arms who had a good relationship with Fan Meng.

And after a simple investigation in private through the channel of Butler Lubzon, Liang En also confirmed that this security company is indeed reliable and fully meets his requirements.

According to the information compiled by the housekeeper Lubzon, this is a small-scale security company. The founder is a captain of the foreign legion. The overall establishment time is only three or four years. The scope of work is the security of South America work-oriented.

In fact, the French, especially the security companies with the background of the French army, basically operate in either Central and South America or in West Africa or North Africa, and this basically coincides with the former French colonies and special interest areas.

It's just that this company called White Knight has developed very mediocre recently. This is mainly because a mission they took at the beginning caused four of them to die, and the company took the compensation for those four people and brought a lot of money. economic pressure.

This industry is like this, one step at a time, one step at a time, so the scale and strength of the White Knight Security Company are not much different from when it was first established, and it can only take on some small jobs.

So it was definitely a big deal for Liang En to hire 1/3 of their fighters at one go this time. For this reason, the other party sent an elite team to join this operation.

But it was also because of this that Liang En decided to hire this group of people as his security personnel, because it would make people feel more at ease if people with morals and bottom lines like this were used as bodyguards.

But then again, many of the big businesses in this industry are on the edge of the law, and it is indeed difficult for such a security company with its own bottom line to find a suitable job.

Through the porthole of the plane, Liang En saw that the ground had changed from the sea to lush forests, which meant that the plane was about to land.And the fact is the same, the flight attendant began to send entry forms and customs declaration forms to everyone.

And when everyone basically filled in these contents, the plane landed on the runway smoothly.As soon as you get out of the cabin, you can feel the billowing heat waves hitting your face, just like entering a steamer.

"Why is this place so humid?" Joan of Arc wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief while everyone was waiting in line to clear the customs. "It feels like the whole body is soaked in water."

"Our season is considered the local dry season, and it should be the least humid time." Liang En shrugged and said, "Of course, the non-humid season refers to the comparison with the local rainy season."

For some unknown reason, the customs officers at the airport moved extremely slowly, let alone compared with China's customs, even the customs of those European countries were much faster than them.

Fortunately, no matter how fast the team was moving, they would always finish checking, and soon they took their luggage on the conveyor belt, and then walked out of the waiting hall together and headed straight to the parking lot.

As the White Knights security company with operations in this area, they had arranged for the pick-up work a few days ago, so after they left the parking lot, they quickly connected with a brown-skinned local informant.

"Let's go to the safe house in the suburbs to get our weapons, and then take a day off and wait for tomorrow morning to go to the upper valley of the Motagua River." Louis, the security leader, turned his head from the co-pilot seat and said. "By the way, can you ride a horse?"

"Both of us can shoot at the same time." Liang En pointed to Joan of Arc and said, "But we don't have the knowledge of how to travel and survive in the tropical rainforest, and we may need your help."

"It's fine if that's the case. Because the second half of the place you are going to is very bad, you can't even allow cars to pass. In many cases, the only means of transportation are mules and horses." Louis nodded and explained.

The country's infrastructure in Guatemala is very bad. From 1960 to 1996, the country fought a civil war for 36 years, resulting in the death of 20 people and the displacement of millions of people. The consequences of the civil war have continued to this day.

For example, the overall infrastructure is very bad. Except for the cities and surrounding areas, the only roads connecting big cities in the whole country are hardened roads, and they are also potholed and lack of maintenance.

The destination that Liang En and the others planned was in a remote area, and the only way to the nearest village in that area was the dirt road that was obviously in disrepair. Considering the climate of the tropical rainforest, those roads could barely pass cars.

In the second half, you need to enter the tropical rainforest. Although there is a road marked on the map, in fact, that road can only be used by people and horses, and vehicles are basically impossible.

So in this case, being able to ride forward is naturally much better than simply walking forward. Not only is the speed faster, but it can also bring more things.

Soon, the car sped along a road. On both sides of the road, there were small dilapidated rooms. People who lived in this place could be seen, and the overall look was very messy.

Fortunately, they drove on a dirt road not far from the urban area. Although the road was a bit bumpy, they finally drove out of the slum that didn't look very safe before.

"This is the fifth most dangerous city in the world, and the slums are the most dangerous of dangers." After driving out of the city, Louis breathed a sigh of relief. "Except for the four districts 10, 11, 14, and 15 in the city, there are deadly threats in other areas."

For these security personnel, passing through such a dangerous area without a gun in their hands is always a bit scary, but unfortunately they have only this way to go, fortunately, nothing happened just now.

Of course, being able to go so smoothly is also related to the local staff knowing where it is safer to pass.For example, as long as you drive on the road just now and close all the windows and don't stop, you can basically pass safely.

After passing through an intersection guarded by policemen in black and soldiers in green camouflage, they passed through a tunnel, and then followed the mountain road on the side into a yard halfway up the mountain.
