Most middlemen run side businesses to optimize cash flow and maintain daily security and intelligence expenses. Lucy chooses to buy, sell and rent real estate, Henry opens several fitness clubs, and Stair owns a clothing factory and a clothing accessories manufacturing company.

The base prepared for the big operation is a warehouse of his clothing factory, located in the west of Peicheng. When you go out, you can see the highway overpass and the vast, semi-deserted plains. It is secluded and inaccessible, and the nearest neighbor is the abandoned mine.

, only the frame of the empty building is left, and the wind blowing through the windows often makes a whining sound. Steyer's clothing factory once made work clothes for surrounding factories, and it was prosperous, but now they have all moved away.

It was Zhuang Xuteng's first time to participate in a mercenary operation hosted by someone else, and since it was a big operation, he was a little nervous. On the way to the meeting place, he took the time to ask himself what he needed to pay attention to.

"The two of us are partners. We have no scruples in what we say. We can talk about anything." Ge Gongdao gave Zhuang Xuteng a lesson in advance and said: "Facing other mercenaries under Lucy's banner, the relationship is more distant. When entrusting tasks, especially

You can't talk about remuneration, the most I can do is complain about Lucy."

"But in front of outsiders, Lucy is the best. Not only do we not talk about our own situation, but we also don't talk about the situation of Lucy's other mercenaries. We don't know what social relationships they have, so it involves gangs, companies and

There’s no need to talk about anyone else’s topic.”

Zhuang Xuteng asked: "That means we don't need to talk about anything else except the mission?"

"Absolutely. Common topics that can be discussed include the weather, and the weather..." Ge Gongdao kept holding his face, but was finally discovered by Zhuang Xuteng.

"Brother Dao, are you kidding me?"

"Haha, I kind of mean that. I think you're quite nervous." Ge Gongdao bumped him with his elbow and said, "Except for things involving personal information, especially how much money you make, you can say anything you want. In fact, you can say anything.

When you arrive, you will find that everyone is almost as nervous as you - if someone is not nervous, it means he is secretly trying to betray us."

"Ah? betray us?"

Ge Gongdao nodded and said: "Think about it, the middlemen use their real identity information to suppress their mercenaries and are always on guard, which shows that there are many betrayals in this industry. Most of them work as mercenaries for money.

, and money is always a bastard. Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black... There will also be bastards among the mercenaries..."

"Uh... Brother Dao, I suggest that we find a chance to deal with Viper quickly. I'm afraid you may have mental problems."

"It will be done, I'll call you, don't worry." Brother Dao pressed the horn hard to make the stupid car in front of him that couldn't move quickly give way. When the Viper was mentioned, he was always more irritable than usual, but now the level is getting worse.

It's getting deeper and deeper. "Listen to me attentively! Every mercenary is actually wary of whether someone will betray information - not everyone is as stupid as I was. This kind of situation with multiple middlemen put together, everyone is worried

There will be more. People with two behaviors are most likely to be traitors."

"The first type is those who are particularly concerned about the content of the task, especially those who, in addition to their own part, inquire about what others are going to do, give others ideas, think of ways, and find ways. The more they understand, the more comprehensive they will be, and the links they can intervene in

The more people there are, the less likely they are to have a good mind."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and warned himself to avoid such behavior.

"The second type is to act like you don't care about anything, stay alone, and hide your thoughts deeply. This kind of person doesn't care about the success or failure of the task. He has sold the task and knows what the outcome will be, so he

No effort required.”

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head again, as if he felt that Brother Dao was still talking about him.

"After you go, you should eat, drink, and sleep. You can also train, just hide it. We are not responsible for the arrangement of the mission, nor the success or failure of the mission. If you have any problems in this regard, just go to Lu

Xi, don’t discuss it with anyone else—except me. It’s good if the mission succeeds, but if it fails, take care of yourself first, understand?”

"Brother Dao, if everyone doesn't try their best, the chance of mission failure is very high."

"Everyone will work hard only after entering the mission. Only when they see that the mission goal is likely to be achieved and they will get the money will they do their best. Everything before that is false - just remember this.

." Ge Gongdao sighed and said: "When I formed my own team, I had the same idea as you. I felt that projects organized by middlemen were too easy to go wrong. It would be better to use acquaintances who can be together for a long time.

"

Zhuang Xuteng hummed, then turned his head and looked out the car window. Most of the excitement when he took over the task disappeared. The more he thought about this task carefully, the more worried he became, and even felt a little frustrated. This is the main source.

Yu asked a group of people who were wary of each other to perform hoisting

There were too many uncertainties in the complex task of trains. At the same time, there was one thing that made him feel very strange: when he accepted the task, Ge Gongdao was also very excited. Logically speaking, he should have known what he wanted to understand now.

Thing, why are you still so excited?

Is there any information that Brother Dao is deliberately hiding to give himself a surprise (scare)?

About half an hour later, they followed the instructions to Steyer's warehouse and parked the car inside. Lucy was waiting for them here as promised. Currently, including Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, the team already had nine people, including

Four are Lucy's mercenaries. The other two are drivers, and one is nicknamed "Silver".

Grove is a male, black, with a strong build and a slightly arrogant attitude. He is a former racing driver and seems to have the smell of coal powder that cannot be washed away. The other has not yet made a name for himself, the mercenary codename is Muir.

, is a petite and slender girl with white skin, dry dark red hair, and severe freckles.

"Style came out with two people, frontline intelligence officers, a pair of cousins, the two in the middle of a pile of instruments on the front left. They have short light blond hair. They have participated in many commissioned tasks, and they have not distinguished themselves but have not had any accidents - in fact

This is the most important thing." Lucy led the way and introduced them to

Introduce the people here. "The taller one is called Nightingale, and the shorter one is called Yanque. The two of them not only have some abilities as intelligence officers, but also a few extraordinary spells. It is absolutely impossible to get the train without them.

Therefore, they are the core of the mission, please protect them."

Ge Gongdao immediately asked: "How to determine the priority? Muir first, or them first?"

"Muir can take care of himself." Lucy concluded with this sentence, then pointed to the three people on the right and said: "The three people drinking afternoon tea here are the mercenaries recommended by Henry, the rock climber Kent, and the flying squirrel Wei.

Eun and Spiky Prince.”

"I know the three of them. They are all good players." Ge Gongdao waved over there. Wen Duan, who was wearing a black suit, nodded slightly. Prince, who was rich and generous, turned his head and shook his long black wavy hair to Ge Gongdao.

Gongdao rolled his eyes and gave a middle finger. Kent, who was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, walked towards Gongdao with a smile and opened his arms.

The two people hugged each other briefly, patted each other's arms, and you could hear their muscles making muffled sounds. Kent looked square, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin without a beard, and looked like a worker or farmer doing hard work. He

He had a short crew cut that was easy to take care of and always had a smile on his face. He nodded to Zhuang Xuteng and finally smiled at Lucy and said, "It's great that Brother Dao can come."

Ge Gongdao smiled and said: "It's been a long time since the three of you got together. What are you doing here this time? Are you planning to steal my business?"

"Yes, we are ready to replace you at any time." Kent approached Ge Gongdao, covered his mouth with his hand, and lowered his voice and said: "Be careful with Prince, she still has a grudge and will definitely teach you a lesson. If she lets me and Wei

Please help us, we dare not refuse, so please forgive me first."

Zhuang Xuteng looked left and right, his heart burning with gossip.

"I can hear you talking!" Prince still raised his middle finger to Ge Gongdao. "Kent, don't go there and embarrass yourself! If I want to find Brother Dao, I don't need your help!"

"It seems that I am disliked." Kent smiled and shrugged, and said: "Lucy, I won't delay your business anymore. Your residence is further inside. I haven't seen this new person before. Let's have a good chat after making an appointment.

.Let’s go, let’s see you later!”

Kent and Ge Gongdao fist bumped, then turned around and left. Zhuang Xuteng waved to the three people, and then asked: "Brother Dao, have you ever had any issues with Prince?"

"A little friction has not been resolved well. We just need to have an in-depth communication and talk about it." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "By the way, I want to remind you first that Kent and Wayne like men.

Yes, you should pay more attention to your behavior. If the joke is about women, don't tell them, it will make them feel awkward."

"Don't you usually tell jokes like this?"

"I want you to pay attention and stop talking so much nonsense!" Ge Gongdao pressed Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder and looked left and right along the way. He must be thinking about something.

The three people continued to walk inside and quickly took a clear look at the operational base converted from the warehouse. Once entering the warehouse, the area is used for parking. The door must be closed at ordinary times, and entry and exit must be registered to avoid attracting attention. After entering the parking lot, it is

There is a free activity area with sofas, TVs, magazines and a refrigerator full of food. Everyone can rest and watch at the same time.

Further inside are eight neatly arranged containers. Each container is a living unit and can accommodate four people inside. 4832, middlemen do not live here, and now there are only nine.

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao shared a room, and the two drivers shared a room. The utilization rate of the container was only half. If calculated this way, there should be sixteen people. The number of people did not match up, and it was a bit weird.

Further inside the residential area, Steyer built a windowless steel house in the warehouse, next to which was the power generation room that provided power for the entire operational base. This steel house was equivalent to a combat intelligence room, where detailed plans would be drawn up.
