American comic mercenaries

(The protagonist was given multiple English names called Yi Wen, but I was too lazy to change the previous one.)

The Bloody Mary had a nice name, but the boat was a bit shabby, no different from a small fishing boat. If it hadn't been found that the boat was relatively solid, Jack would have definitely regretted renting Bill's boat.

After seeing Bill's boat, Bill looked at Jack and asked, "When do you want to set off?"

Jack thought for a moment and said, "We'll leave tomorrow morning. We need to transfer things to the ship today."

Seeing that Jack had set a departure date, Meng Zu said to Bill, "We need some guns for self-defense. Is there any way you can get them?"

Hearing Meng Zu ask for a gun, Bill frowned slightly. If the other party had a gun and threatened him on the road, it would be dangerous. However, when he thought that the other party needed to rely on himself as a guide, not to mention that he also had a gun, Bill thought about it. Said: "We are leaving tomorrow. The only thing we can get in such a short time is a double-barreled shotgun. What do you think?"

Meng Zu thought for a while and realized that a double-barreled shotgun was enough to deal with wild beasts. It could also cause considerable damage to a big python. Moreover, this kind of gun was easy to use, so it was very suitable for Jack and the others.

"can."

"How many do you need?"

"Six will be enough. You need to prepare more bullets."

Bill smiled and said, "What about the gun money?"

"I'll give you a piece when I leave tomorrow."

After talking about the matter, the four Meng Zu and Bill all went back to prepare things. On the way back, Jack asked with some confusion: "Evan, there are seven of us in total, why do we only need six shotguns?"

Meng Zu explained: "These six shotguns are for you. This kind of gun is simple and easy to operate and is more suitable for you, but I am not used to using this kind of gun."

"What about you?"

"I have a way to get a gun that suits me. You go back and pack your things first, while I get the weapons first." After saying that, Meng Zu and Jack left separately.

Looking at Meng Zu walking away, Gordon whispered: "Jack, if Evan has a way to get the gun, why are he still looking for Bill?"

Jack also didn't understand why Meng Zu was like this, but he only hired him to protect his safety. Since Meng Zu wanted to get his own gun, he didn't have to pay for it himself, so he said: "Gordon, Ivan is a mercenary. Of course there are ways to get weapons, but those weapons may not be suitable for us, okay, let's go back and sort out our things first."

In fact, Meng Zu has no way to get a gun in this town, but he has a gun in his storage space. However, judging from the performance of the few people who just talked about Bill's remuneration and the fact that this employment mission only has one hundred thousand dollars, their money It's definitely not many. My guns are not cheap, and I don't want to give them money.

Meng Zu went to have a meal, then found a bag shop and bought a long bag. Then he rented a room in a hotel, put the weapons he planned to use in the storage space into the bag, and made After finishing this, he lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone. After nearly four hours passed, Meng Zu took his bag and returned to Jack's residence.

Early the next morning, Meng Zu and his group came to the dock and boarded Bill's somewhat dilapidated Bloody Mary. However, there was an Asian named Achuan on the ship. Upon inquiry, it turned out that he was Bill's assistant. The first mate of the ship, he was responsible for the work of sailing the ship, and Bill directed the route forward.

The weather was nice today and there was no rain. Several people gathered on the deck. Bill took out a map of the Borneo rainforest and asked, "Where is the destination?"

Jack replied: "It's the Sartan Basin."

Bill dared to venture upstream during the rainy season. Naturally, he had some skills. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. He immediately planned a safe route and said: "The river is very dangerous and complicated in the rainy season. The submerged trees and The vines hidden at the bottom of the water can easily sink the ship, and the upper reaches are even more dangerous. If we want to go to the Satan Basin, we can't take the original waterway and can only start from here."

Seeing that the route drawn by Bill's finger on the map was much further than the previous one, Jack couldn't help but said: "How long does it take to get there?"

Bill was already familiar with the route and said based on past experience: "If nothing happens, we can get there in five days, but the rainy season is complicated. If there is a problem, it may take a week or two weeks to get there."

"Can you hurry up?" Jack disliked the time and wanted to find the Blood Orchid as soon as possible.

Bill shook his head and said, "No, for safety's sake this is the fastest route."

Hearing this, Jack frowned and walked to Kerr who was operating the computer, "Is it done?"

Kerr tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard and replied without raising his head: "Wait a moment, I'll be fine soon."

Upon seeing this, Bill put away the map and Jack and the others waited quietly for Kerr without saying a word. Mengzu did not participate in it. He just stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the surrounding environment. After all, he was only responsible for the safety of Jack and the others. What was the route? It's fine for them to decide on their own.

Kerr tapped his finger on the Enter key and said, "Done!"

Jack and Bill came to Kerr. When they looked at the computer, they saw a blue line marked on the map. Kerr said proudly: "I just connected to the satellite. According to the river conditions in Borneo in the past few years, An optimal route was calculated that was our fastest and safest route to travel.”

This route has the same general direction as the route Bill drew on the map just now, except that only a few parts of the route are different, but it is indeed shorter than the previous route.

Jack looked at the route on the computer and asked Kerr: "How many days will this route take?"

Kerr said: "If nothing else, it will only take about four days."

This made Jack smile, but it didn't mean that he could really set off just by relying on the route on the computer. He had to ask Bill, a captain with experience in going upriver, "Bill, what do you think?"

Bill looked at the blue line carefully, thought for a moment, and said, "No problem, just follow this line." "

"In that case, let's go."

The ship slowly moved away from the dock. Meng Zu and Bill sat on the bow of the ship, drinking beer and chatting, "Ivan, are you a mercenary?"

"Yes, Jack, did they tell you?"

"No, I can see that you and Jack are obviously not the same kind of people, and you have the aura of gunfire about you. I have had many contacts with mercenaries before."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zu became a little curious about Bill's identity, "Oh? Bill, what did you do before?"

"Been in the U.S. Special Forces."

"How did you get here from the United States?"

Bill drank beer and said flatly: "I just want to start a new life. Only by staying away can we have a better start."

"You're right." Meng Zu and Bill clinked their drinks.

Bill glanced at Jack and the others who were discussing the problem together, and asked: "By the way, Ivan, what are they looking for? They actually have to go upriver during the rainy season."

"They are looking for a plant called blood orchid."

"Blood orchid? What is the use of this plant?" This was the first time Bill heard the name of blood orchid.

"I don't know about that. They didn't tell me. Anyway, I'm only responsible for their safety." Meng Zu replied with a shrug.
