American comic mercenaries

Unexpectedly, it started to rain heavily in the middle of the night, so a group of people drove to a small town in Parang Province in the heavy rain early in the morning. As the vehicles moved forward, the road became difficult to walk, and the original asphalt road gradually turned into Dirt road.

On such a rainy day, the dirt road has turned into a muddy road, and the wheels have become easily slippery. This makes the journey that originally only took three hours, by the time Meng Zu and the others actually arrived, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. .

Wearing a raincoat, Meng Zu stepped on the muddy road. He was a little agitated by the heavy rain. He was a little puzzled that Jack was so anxious. "Jack, do you need to be in such a hurry? Why not wait until the rainy season is over and look for it."

Jack wiped the rain off his face and explained: "Blood orchids bloom once every seven years, and the flowering period is only half a year. Now should be the best time for blood orchids to bloom. If the rainy season has passed, the flowering period may have passed. "

Ten minutes later, the four Meng Zu finally arrived at a tavern at their destination. Through inquiries, they learned that local captains usually went to the tavern to drink, especially during the rainy season. The boatmen were either at home or in the tavern. The other party told Jack that these captains would not take risks during the rainy season. I will take you upstream. If you must go upriver during the rainy season, you can only go to a red house tavern to find a captain named Bill Johnson. Only he dares to go out on the boat during the rainy season, as long as he has enough money.

Jack can't make the decision on his own. Gale needs to follow him as the company's review representative. Gordon is in charge of the money and he needs to pay for the charter. Naturally, he needs to go there with him. It's not as safe as a big city. What's going on in the tavern? There are people like this. For safety reasons, Jack asked Meng Zu to accompany them to the tavern.

Meng Zu took off the hat on his raincoat, pushed open the wooden door and went in. He found that compared to the loud sound of rain outside, the inside of the tavern was not windy at all. The whole tavern was bustling with people of all kinds, and the noisy sounds filled the room. Throughout the tavern.

The four of them came in. Some people in the bar just took one look and stopped paying attention and continued drinking and chatting. Looking at the people in the bar, Gordon said with a flash of inspiration: "Maybe besides Bill Johnson, others are willing to take us. Go high.”

Jack looked at the various people in the tavern. Some of them clearly gave him the feeling that they were not good people, so he asked Meng Zu: "Meng Zu, what do you think?"

In Jack's opinion, Meng Zu was a mercenary who often came into contact with such people, and he must have experience in this area.

Regarding Gordon's words, Meng Zu naturally knew his plan in his heart. He wanted to save some money. He shook his head slightly and said: "Go directly to Bill Johnson. There are all kinds of people here. There is no need to add unnecessary trouble."

"Well, then just go to Bill Johnson."

The four of them came to the bar of the tavern. The bartender, a middle-aged man, saw the four of them smiling and said, "Four, what do you need?"

Jack asked: "Excuse me, is there a captain named Bill Johnson here?"

The bartender looked at Jack and said with a smile: "Bill Johnson? It seems like there is one, but it seems like there isn't."

Jack was a little confused by the bartender's words, and didn't quite understand what he meant, whether it was Bill Johnson or not.

"Ahem!" Meng Zu coughed twice. Jack turned around and saw Meng Zu rubbing his thumb and index finger to indicate to him. At this time, Jack understood what the bartender meant and took out a dollar and put it on the table. on the counter.

When the bartender saw the dollars, his smile suddenly brightened. He reached out to collect the money and pointed at a man sitting at a round table in the corner drinking alone, and said, "He is Bill Johnson."

The four people skipped the crowd and came to the round table to sit down. Jack said directly: "Are you Bill Johnson?"

Bill held the beer bottle and looked at the four Meng Zu up and down, "What do you want from me?"

"I heard that you can take people to the upper reaches of the rain forest during the rainy season."

It seemed that he was here for business. Bill put the beer bottle on the table, looked at Jack and said, "Of course, I just need you to be willing to spend money."

Hearing this, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. Blood Orchid was his only hope for a comeback. If no one was willing to take him to the upper reaches of the rain forest during the rainy season, he would really be doomed. "How much does it cost?"

Bill looked at Jack, thought for a moment, and then said: "Fifty thousand dollars."

Jack is a shrewd man. It is the rainy season and other shipping companies have stopped sailing. It is very dangerous to go upstream in the tropical rainforest rivers during the rainy season. Since these people are going upriver at this time, they must have something very important to do. , during this period, no one but themselves dared to risk going upstream, so they had to rely on themselves, so Bill planned to offer a high price.

"no problem."

Seeing Jack agreeing so readily without paying back the price, Bill raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take you to my boat now, and I'll give you the key."

Hearing this, Gale stood up and said, "Wait, give us the key? Aren't you going with us?"

Bill sat down again and said lazily: "It's the rainy season and it's very dangerous to go upriver. Fifty thousand US dollars is only enough to rent a boat. I'm not willing to take the risk and go together."

Jack frowned. It was the rainy season in the tropical rainforest. If there was no captain who was familiar with the local conditions, it would be no different from seeking death. He asked, "How much will you pay for going with us?"

Bill said: "If you want me to take the risk and go with you, it will cost you one hundred thousand dollars."

Gale was shocked by Bill's lion's big mouth, and said to him angrily: "One hundred thousand dollars! You are crazy about money."

Gale turned to Jack and said, "Jack, let's find someone else. For fifty thousand dollars, there must be someone willing to take us to the upper reaches."

"Oh, okay, you can go and give it a try. No one but me will go upstream during the rainy season." Bill looked at Gale and smiled confidently.

"This!" Jack was in a dilemma. One hundred thousand dollars was not much, but his group was just looking for a guide who was familiar with the local environment, and Bill obviously regarded his group as the enemy.

At this time, Meng Zu said: "There is no need to get entangled. Tropical rainforest rivers in the rainy season are very dangerous and changeable. The locals will not risk going upstream. Maybe he is the only one. Of course, when the rainy season is about to pass, then he is willing to There are more people going to the upper class.”

Hearing this, Jack no longer hesitated. He had to hurry up and get the blood orchid. He said to Bill: "Then for one hundred thousand dollars, you go with us."

"Jack! You~" Gale looked at Jack in disbelief.

Jack interrupted Gale directly, "Okay, needless to say, I was originally responsible for this operation. As long as I can get something, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that one hundred thousand dollars had been received, Bill said happily: "Well, four of you, I will take you to see my ship, the Bloody Mary!"
