Chapter 73: Witchcraft?
Radiation, real name Geiger, is from Somalia and is a mercenary, just like Li Yexing. He used to work for Roples for a few years, but due to intense competition, he quit a few years ago.
Later, he heard from Argo that he became a human smuggler in the Malvia area and helped people cross borders. All parties would give him face, and he can be considered a comrade of Li Yexing's. Besides looking wild, he is surprisingly nice.
The nickname "Radiation" was given to Geiger by a Russian mercenary. The mercenary thought that Geiger's name sounded like the Geiger counter used to measure radiation, so he give him that nickname.
This time, Geiger accepted Argo's commission and is responsible for helping Li Yexing deliver his troublesome cargo to the government-controlled area of Malvia. Under Geiger's leadership, the truck passed the checkpoint smoothly.
The shabby truck followed Geiger's red car and slowly stopped in a secluded and abandoned yard.
"I also heard from Argo that you need to handle some things over here and also transport some goods..."
Geiger sat in the driver's seat of his car, lighting a cigar, and said, "Your batch of goods has given Argo a headache. What exactly are you transporting?"
"Just some weapons and equipment," Li Yexing replied.
"Heh, I don't quite understand why three people would need to fill up a truck with weapons and equipment, and..." As he spoke, Geiger's eyes glanced at the two women behind Li Yexing who were trying to open the truck's cargo hold.
"Are these your chicks? They're pretty good-looking."
"Keep staring and I'll gouge your eyes out," Li Yexing said.
"Looking at your behavior, it's just like how you were back then, still a mad dog. I just don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like your mouth is more stinky now."
Geiger joked, "And, to be honest, why did you bring chicks with you over here? This isn't a good place, not suitable for women to be hanging around."
"It's okay, they're tough," Li Yexing flicked the ash off his cigarette.
"True, that short one looks so skinny, but she can lift a minigun like it's nothing, I can't believe it. Did you bring two Charlie's Angels with you?"
"Say what you will," Li Yexing said.
"By the way, did you come over here for a mission?" Geiger suddenly asked.
"That's right, it's a mission from Tricell. They want me to kill a woman."
"Tsk..." Geiger frowned and said, "Buddy, I'll tell you the truth, this isn't the right time for you to be here."
"Why?" Li Yexing raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Lately, things around here have been a bit strange..."
Seeing that Li Yexing didn't seem to care, Geiger said seriously, "You don't live around here, so you don't feel it. The recent conflict between the Government Forces and the Rebel Forces is too weird. Both sides fight like they have a death wish. Even the craziest mercenaries wouldn't fight like that. The situation is like they're just asking for death."
At this point, Geiger looked mysterious and said, "I heard they're under some kind of witchcraft."
"Witchcraft? Do you still believe in that kind of thing?" Li Yexing found Geiger's words amusing.
"Forget it, it's just a rumor. Who knows what's going on?"
Geiger stood up and patted his butt, "My mission is to settle you guys down. This place can be your base. Of course, you can find your own place, but I don't recommend it. There's a cellar under the bed, you can put your equipment there."
After explaining everything, Geiger drove away.
Li Yexing led the two women into the small house in the yard and found that although the outside looked shabby, the inside was surprisingly clean.
Following Geiger's instructions to push the bed aside, they discovered a not-so-small underground cellar, even larger than Li Yexing's storage room.
"Come on, let's move everything in," Li Yexing turned to Lilith and Rita.
With the help of these two women whose abilities were far beyond human, the weapons and some of the miscellaneous items in the truck were quickly moved into the cellar.
After they finished, Li Yexing finally had a chance to rest.
Lilith lay motionless on the bed with an expressionless face, moving her limbs like she was swimming. Rita carefully observed the small room to see if there were any dirty places.
In his opinion, this place was already clean enough as a temporary base, but for the perfect maid Rita, it was far from enough.
With nothing to do, Li Yexing took out his phone and browsed through the mission-related information.
The mission's target was named Kanan Mafar, gender female, age and nationality unknown.
About six months ago, she suddenly formed a group called 'Black Mamba' and began launching terrorist attacks against Tricell Pharmaceutical facilities in the Middle East region. Due to the local situation being unstable, Tricell Pharmaceutical was unable to obtain support and quickly withdrew from the area.
Recently, the Malvia conflict has been escalating, and in the spirit of humanitarianism, Tricell Pharmaceutical immediately came to the area to provide low-priced medical services for war casualties.
However, not long after, Tricell Pharmaceutical's place was attacked, and they quickly confirmed the identity of the attacker to be Kanan Mafar from the Black Mamba.
If they cannot quickly deal with this woman, Tricell will likely face a situation similar to the one in the Middle East.
If necessary, the upper management of Tricell can only try to seek help from the mercenaries who dare to intervene in the conflict zone, hoping to use their hands to give this terrorist the punishment she deserves.
According to the intelligence Li Yexing has obtained, this Kanan Mafar seems to have been acting alone, taking every opportunity to assassinate employees and even management of Tricell Pharmaceutical, and creating explosives to damage Tricell Pharmaceutical's transportation vehicles and facilities, causing heavy losses to the company.
"One person, one gun, crossing such a great distance, relentlessly attacking Tricell..."
Looking at the woman's photo on his phone, Li Yexing murmured to himself, "What has Tricell done to you?"
"Tricell? Is there a problem with our employer?" Rita, who was inspecting the room, asked when she heard Li Yexing talking to himself.
"Oh, there's no problem with our employer..." Li Yexing casually said, "It's just a pharmaceutical company that wants to become the next Umbrella."
"Wants to become the next Umbrella..." Rita repeated what Li Yexing had said, showing a rare surprise on her face. "Master, this is not a trivial matter..."
"What it wants to become is not important to us, what's important is our commission." Li Yexing said relaxedly, "We'll take care of this woman who seems to have a deep grudge, and then we'll go home."
"But, Malvia is so big, Master, where do you find this woman?" Rita asked with slight doubt.
"We certainly can't find her ourselves..." Looking at the photo on his phone, Li Yexing chuckled, "But we can find Tricell Pharmaceutical, can't we?"
"You mean..." Rita suddenly realized.
"This woman is like a hunting dog chasing after Tricell..."
There was a somewhat inexplicable smile on Li Yexing's face.
"As long as we follow the path of Tricell, we will definitely encounter this woman, won't we?"
