Chapter 424 Otis's Gold Mine
"Baker, ask your men to go to the reception room and prepare tea." Zhang Yang ordered Baker who was accompanying him.
"Reception room? Okay." Baker agreed and immediately made a phone call to make arrangements.
Generally, guests are only received in the manager's office, but the other party was able to enter the reception room as soon as he came in, which was enough to show how much the boss valued him.
It seems that we need to build good relationships in the future.
"I really miss that time..." As he walked into the hotel, Charles' memories were gradually brought back by the familiar layout.
He stroked the wall of the hotel, his eyes gradually becoming moist.
"I never thought I could come back..."
"Can you please tell me what happened back then?" Zhang Yang has always been curious about Charles Ewing's survival.
Why all the Juves turned into exorcists, and only he survived.
"Back then?" Charles Juventus had already let down his guard against Zhang Yang. He leaned back in his chair and began to reminisce.
"The story begins with a mercenary operation we participated in..."
……
……
……
I was once a member of the Black Gold International Task Force, just like my boss Fred.
Our story begins with the war in Otes.
In the late period of the Civil War, we were employed by the First Army of the Union and fought a decisive battle with the Confederate Army at Otis.
It is clear that Carmona’s Civil War is just a tentacles of Colen and Twila.
We don't care about good or evil.
The reward for this job is not low. The boss said that after finishing the job he can take a good rest and travel around the world with his wife Mary.
……
Boom boom——
On a stormy night, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
This is a hilly area with undulating terrain. We were wearing camouflage combat uniforms and walking on the muddy mountain road.
It was not an easy journey and my boots were full of water.
"Those northerners are offering a really high price." A casual voice sounded from the front row of the troops.
His name is Jason, he is Fred's lieutenant and one of our superiors.
"We have to let them know what good value for money means." Fred responded calmly, frowning slightly.
In addition to us, there are also some special detachments transferred from other places to support the Northern Army this time.
But in terms of authority, they all have to obey the more senior boss Fred.
The wind was howling and the rain was falling like a curtain, blurring our vision.
"Target spotted at two o'clock!"
"Ready to fight!"
The team members responsible for reconnaissance in the front soon sent a signal, and then a brutal firefight began.
bang bang bang bang...
"Everyone, suppress with fire!"
"You're fighting an expert!"
Fred and Jason continued to move forward. As the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of this operation, their every word and action affected the morale of the troops.
I was the youngest and followed the other task forces to fight the enemies they had already defeated.
Lightning flashed across the sky like a silver snake, instantly illuminating the corpses on the ground. I stumbled and fell into the muddy pool.
I have to admit, I was a little scared.
But since everyone around me is not afraid, I am not afraid either.
"Charles, hurry up, we're almost falling behind." Frank reached out his hand to me and pulled me up from the ground.
He has a high reputation in the team because of his incredibly accurate shooting skills.
"Thank you, brother." I patted my knees, fortunately I was not injured.
Thunder rumbled, as if beating the drum to cheer for the fierce firefight.
"The enemy sniper has been eliminated." Jason's report came through the tactical headset.
We immediately felt much more at ease.
He has sharp eyesight and can always take out troublesome guys from a distance in one go.
Bullets flew through the rain, making sharp whistling sounds.
I was a little scared and fired into the darkness in the distance.
bang bang bang...
"Uh-huh~"
"Eh? I think I knocked one down."
"Outflank them!"
Soon, we eliminated the enemy forces stationed in this military camp.
We were soaked by the rain and went into their tent to rest.
Jason lit a cigarette and offered one to Fred.
Although this battle ended quickly, some familiar figures were no longer visible.
"Where's Charles?" Someone was looking for me in the hall.
"I'm here!" I raised my hand, and it turned out that the person looking for me was the boss.
"Are you okay, kid? Frank said you were injured?"
"Fortunately, I'm fine." I felt warm inside. This little injury was nothing in the army.
"The Southern Army is truly pitiful. With just the words 'independence' and 'freedom', they have become pawns of others."
Jason looked at the map of the barracks and expressed regret.
"In my eyes, we are no different from them." Fred put out his cigarette.
I don’t quite understand this sentence.
We are clearly fighting for ourselves, and there is a real bounty on the line.
"Frank, look how many people we lost." Fred then turned his gaze to Frank standing aside.
"Yes."
"Boss, Nash discovered a mine!" A man came running excitedly outside the military tent.
It's Langdon.
He is always like this, making a fuss out of nothing.
"There are large gold particles on the walls of the mine, and the ground is covered with gold sand. We suspect that it is a gold mine!"
"Gold mine?" Fred and Jason couldn't sit still at the same time.
So do the others in the military tent!
I noticed that another group of special agents had strange expressions on their faces, and they seemed to have bad intentions.
"Quick, take us to see it!" The boss slammed the table and stood up.
Gold mine!
"If what Charles said is true, then we won't have to live on the edge of a knife for the rest of our lives." Jason said happily.
"I can also just retire and travel around the world with Mary." The eldest brother, Fred, was also very excited and took the lead.
The gold mine is some distance away from the military camp, to the west of the direction we came from.
This place is deserted and it seems that Nash is the first one to discover it.
"Boss, look! I just wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain to perform surgery, but I didn't expect that this mine was full of gold!"
Nash spoke excitedly, having already picked up some gold sand of uniform texture.
"Yes, it is gold."
It is no secret that Outes is rich in gold, but I didn’t expect that there is an undiscovered gold mine here!
The rest of the people also rushed over after hearing the noise and surrounded the entire mine.
"Hey, whoever sees it gets a share, shouldn't we get some too?" A special agent with a ferocious face rushed out from the crowd.
"That's it!"
His name is Sili, and he is the leader of another task force. In terms of the authority of this unit, he is second only to our boss Fred.
As soon as he opened his mouth, many people followed suit.
"Of course, this is our opportunity, and it is also our common wealth."
"Everyone who sees it gets a share, and it should be divided equally among everyone and kept secret. What do you think?" Fred, the boss, spoke up.
"No problem!" I was the first to raise my hand.
Nash, Langdon, and Frank also raised their hands.
We seem to have more people. But Xili had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was planning.
He was not reconciled.
"Fred, from what I understand, your wife is still in Tulip Hospital?"
"What did you say..." Fred stepped forward, his eyes obviously changing.
Frank, who was standing next to me, touched me and quietly picked up the gun.
I picked up the gun too.
Everyone around is ready to make a move.
Xili wants to keep it all for himself?
