Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 436 Ambush
After driving for more than an hour after leaving the airport, Liang En's vehicle smoothly drove into a yard on a mountainside in the suburbs of Guatemala City.

When the car just arrived at the gate, the gate of the yard was opened, and then a fat Indian woman directed the vehicle to drive into the yard.

From the conversation between the local driver and the woman in Spanish, Liang En learned that this place was the driver's home, and it was also the home of someone in the security company, and now it was open to the security company to make a fortune.

Because it is already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and because there is very little food on the plane at noon, everyone feels a little hungry. Fortunately, the host here has prepared dinner for everyone.

Considering that everyone is not a local, this meal is more European. Except for tortillas, local grilled corn on the cob and an absolutely hearty fruit platter, the rest are European-style stews and barbecue.

If you want to make an overall evaluation, the cooking of these dishes can be said to be quite satisfactory. Although it is not delicious, it is not unpalatable, but the fruit for dessert after the meal is indeed very delicious, and the amount is also very large.

As a country with a tropical rainforest climate and agriculture, this country is rich in tropical fruits. The most important thing is that because there is no need for long-distance transportation, the ones on the local market are all ripe and picked. It is much better cooked.

After the meal, the security personnel went to the attic to get their weapons and went for maintenance inspections, while Liang En and the others stayed and communicated with the owner of this room.

Because of the function of the [Catholic Words (R)] card, Liang En spoke Spanish with a local accent, shortening the distance between the two of them, and then chatting.

"The place you are going to is safe. Because that place is too poor and not on a key road, those criminals are not interested. Just pay attention to wild animals and mosquitoes." The hostess of the room nodded and said.

Although there are more than 7 criminal organizations in this country, they are willing to become outlaws only for money, so there are not many criminals in such remote areas.

This news is of course a good thing for Liang En. After all, compared to beasts or poisonous insects, human beings are the most dangerous creatures in the world. Not to mention that Guatemala is still a country full of guns.

After all, his arrangement this time is a treasure hunt, looking for lost ancient Mayan emerald veins, not a gunfight with someone in the rainforest or the concrete jungle of the city.

Anyway, the lessons learned by the Americans have been put there, letting people all over the world know how stupid it is to fight the local aborigines in the vast tropical rainforest.

All the equipment and vehicles have been prepared for reasons of preparation in advance.So after resting here for one night, Liang En and the others drove three off-road vehicles to the east early the next morning.

According to the plan, several of them will drive all the way to a small town closest to the destination, and then transfer to prepared mules and horses and enter the real rainforest along the river valley.

January happens to be the dry season in Guatemala, so the small convoy of three off-road vehicles brought up a cloud of dust as they drove on the dirt road.

Although after leaving the urban area, both sides of the road are covered by lush tropical rainforest plants, but when there is no rain, the dirt road is still covered with thick dust.

Liang En misses his ravens a little at this time. After all, aerial reconnaissance is still valuable. Unfortunately, considering that the dense vegetation in the tropical rainforest is actually not conducive to these guys' activities, he didn't bring the three ravens with him at all this time. fat bird.

"Is the connector we went to that town on good terms with everyone?" Taking advantage of the relatively straight road, Liang En asked Fan Meng beside him. "The security company actually paid him the full amount in advance."

The reason why he asked this is because it is not easy to provide a dozen mules and horses in such a small place at one go, and the security company did not hesitate to call the other party five or six days in advance to hire these animals the full cost of .

"It's very reliable. My old squad leader and some of the security personnel's old squad leaders are meeting us." Fan Meng said with a smile, "It's a pity that half of the sole of my foot was blown up by a landmine during a mission in West Africa, so I only I can go home with my pension."

The soldiers of the French Foreign Legion come from various countries. In a chaotic and poor country like Guatemala, there are many people who are willing to make money for this bloody knife. Unfortunately, there are not many people who can pass through layers of screening to enter the Foreign Legion every year. .

"Then why doesn't your squad leader stay in France?" Liang En asked a little puzzled, because following Fan Meng's introduction, Liang En learned that his squad leader was a senior sergeant. From the looks of it, it should be possible to stay in France.

"Because the other party has a lot of family members here, he needs to take care of his family members." Fan Meng pursed his lips and said. "And it's not a good idea for a disabled person to stay in France."

An important reason why France has the Foreign Legion is to find foreigners to die instead of its own.In this case, the foreign legion is obviously different from the genuine French soldiers in terms of wages, bonuses, and pensions after death.

Take Fan Meng's squad leader as an example. The sum of his retirement pay and casualty allowance may only be enough for him to live alone in a small French city, and this kind of life without a future is definitely not what the other party wants. .

So the other party chose to bring the money back to his hometown to marry a wife and have children. According to Fan Meng, this squad leader had a good life in his hometown, and even became a quite prestigious person in the local area.

"—His hometown is the town we are going to." Fan Meng said while driving, "We can just have a good meal and rest there, and then start our search work."

"You're right. At least in this kind of operation, having enough support and not having enough support are completely different things." Liang En nodded. "After all, this kind of unfamiliar place—"

But before Liang En finished speaking, there was a bang from a distance, and then Liang En and the others felt that the left rear wheel of the vehicle seemed to be flattened suddenly, and the whole car bumped violently.

"Prepare to speed up, there is an attack!" Fan Meng grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted immediately, and then stepped on the accelerator. At the same time, one after the other.The other two vehicles also started to accelerate.

As professionally trained security personnel, everyone knows that the first thing to do after encountering an attack is to leave the attack scene to get rid of the enemy's attack.

But what they didn't expect was that just after they turned a few hundred meters along the dusty road and turned a corner, they found an old American-style school bus rushing out of the road and fell on the side of the road. At the same time, several gunmen were approaching the school bus.

"Get ready to fight!" Seeing this scene, Fan Meng immediately said to Liang En and the others. At the same time, the car slowed down and drove to the side of the road. At the same time, the other two vehicles driven by security personnel also stopped.
