Chapter 1 [The Expendables]
On the silent sea, an ocean-going cargo ship was sailing slowly.
The sky gradually faded, and the night was shrouded in the lights on the cargo ships sometimes disappeared.
A black figure crawled on the signal tower on the right side of the cargo ship. He adjusted his posture and found a comfortable position. After black figure slowly placed his left hand on the sniper rifle in front of him, fixed the gun body, stretched out his index finger with his right hand and placed it on the plate machine.
Sniper position!
Ready to go!
"Sizi..."
The messy electric current suddenly rang out, and the black shadow frowned and stretched out his hand to put on the communication earplugs hanging on his chest.
"Aren, how are you preparing?!"
Hearing Li Jie's voice, Gu Ren smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li, everything can't escape my eyes!"
While speaking, Gu Ren turned on the sniper rifle's magnification. Under the effect of night vision goggles, dozens of figures on the cargo ship's deck were clearly visible.
As he said, all enemies were exposed to his gun.
"That's good. This is your first time participating in a mission. You don't ask for merit but you don't make mistakes. Just remember not to shoot at will and wait for the captain's orders."
"no problem."
"Then I'm looking forward to your performance."
...
On the east side of the cargo ship, Li Jie took off his headphones and turned to Barney Ross and said, "Head, there is ready over there."
"It seems that our newcomer seems to be very confident." Ross squeezed out a shriveled smile. His already paralyzed face always gave people a stiff feeling.
Christmas, which has always had a good relationship with Ross, couldn't help but tease him when he saw his crooked smile, "Head, can you stop laughing in the future? It's so scary when you smile. If you don't know, you think you are a humble person!"
"Haha..." The suicide squads next to them laughed.
Ross glanced at Christmas, shook his head helplessly, and as usual, he sorted out his equipment and made sure everything was correct. He then looked up and talked about this mission: "This mission is to rescue hostages on the cargo ship. The customer requires us to ensure that we must achieve zero casualties, so you must see clearly before taking action. I don't want the customer to take hostages due to death and injury and deduct the bounty we should get."
When everyone heard this, they nodded to show their understanding.
"This time the enemy is a group of pirates in Somalia. They have been asking for ransom from the country where the cargo ship is located by hijacking for many years. The specific personnel are unknown, but according to my private information, there will be at least less than thirty pirates on this ship."
"..." Barney Ross reported on this task while formulating a plan that had been arranged earlier.
As the leader in the mercenary industry, in addition to the members of each with their own magical powers, Captain Ross' tactical command ability is also an important factor in making the mercenary industry stand out in the world.
Whether it is the EP mercenary company that is famous in South Africa, the French mercenary gang that ravages Europe, or the Blackwater employed company in North America, they have all given olive branches to the squad, the squad with a 100% mission completion rate.
But Barney Ross, the captain of the Suicide Squad, does not seem to join these mercenary corps.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Guys, it's up to you next."
Barney Ross clapped his palms, and when he finished speaking, everyone took action according to the planned plan.
After the people were dispersed, Gunna Jensen did not act as planned, but instead followed behind his head.
"Is there something wrong?" Barney Ross looked back at Gounner, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"You agree that the newcomer introduced by Yin and Yang comes in. Do you want to replace me?" Gongna saw the dissatisfaction, but he still couldn't help asking for the doubts in his heart.
Since receiving the mission, Gunna Jensen learned that newcomers were joining, and it was welcomed at first. But after learning that the newcomers were a sniper, the welcome became angry. The current six-man team of suicide squads, each with each person's position, and Gunna Jensen is the sniper position he serves as.
But now a new sniper has been welcomed. No matter what purpose he is, he will give him the plan of the captain giving up himself and instead wanting to train new people.
Barney Ross didn't want to have a dispute with his teammates during the mission, and shook his head slightly and said, "We will talk about this later. The most urgent task is to complete the mission!"
"No, you have to tell me now! Should I keep me or that new guy!"
Plop!
Barney Ross stretched out his hand and pressed Gouna on the container behind him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked directly at the other party's eyes, and said coldly: "Guna, I don't want to repeat the rules I made with you."
Upon hearing this, Gongna took a few deep breaths and calmed down for a while before nodding and agreeing, "I understand."
"It's best."
Barney Ross let go of his hand and took a few steps back, looked at Gongna meaningfully, turned around and ran towards the inside of the cargo ship.
Looking at the captain's back as it left, Gongna clenched her fist, relaxed again, then grabbed the rifle hanging on her chest and followed closely behind the captain.
"Interesting..." Gu Ren showed a sneer on his lips. It seemed that Brother Li was right. This silly guy is not a good person to get along with.
Gu Ren, who was condescending, could clearly see the small friction between Captain Ross and Gongna just now. Although he couldn't hear what the two were saying, he could understand his dissatisfied attitude towards Gu Ren when Gu Ren was in contact with the death squadrons over the past few days. The appearance of him, a new sniper, put pressure on the old sniper.
"I hope I can be smarter and not stop me from completing the task." Gu Ren muttered, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he was telling Gongna.
...
The bottom of the cargo ship, where hostages are held.
"It's been too long! You have enough time to pay the ransom for three months, but you don't care about their life or death at all." Looking at the video recorder in front of you, the pirate leader pulled out the big knife worn by his waist, gently stroked the cold knife face, and looked fiercely at the kneeling hostages, tied up both eyes.
He grabbed the hair of the hostage kneeling on the ground and suffered a lot. The hostage subconsciously raised his neck. The pirate leader pointed at the camera and roared: "You don't care about their life or death, we don't care about them!! Their deaths next were all caused by you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pirate leader suddenly raised the sharp sword in his hand, and a cold light flashed under the searchlight.
"Plop"
A black duffel bag fell from the sky, which scared the pirates around him. His hand holding AK couldn't help but tremble. The sudden change made everyone's nerves tense.
"enemy!"
Suddenly, a pirate discovered the suicide squads hiding on the upper slab of the cargo ship and shouted, "There are enemies! They are on it."
The pirates looked up and saw, "Good guy, when did seven or eight people get in?"
Crack, Crack...
Accompanied by the sound of the bullet loading, the pirate leader was horrified to find that there were a few red dots on his body. He was quite a bit evident and understood that these red dots must be infrared sights.
"Don't move! Don't be nervous, everyone!" The pirate leader was afraid that his subordinates would accidentally leave the fire, and let the enemy lurking in the dark kill him first.
After appeased the men, the pirate leader looked up at the enemy lurking above and said, "Don't shoot! Friends, who are you?"
"You don't have to worry about who we are. The money in the bag is three million US dollars, which is enough for you to be carefree for a while and let the hostages go!"
Barney Ross' dull voice echoed in the cabin.
The pirate leader looked down at the black duffel bag not far away, which contained three million US dollars! At this moment, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, raised his head again, stared at the figures that could not be seen clearly on it and said, "It's too late, you've come too late. Now I don't want three million US dollars, I want five million US dollars!"
Gu Ren, who was on the commanding heights of the cargo ship, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the greedy words of the pirates, "These pirates are so greedy! They are all touched by others, and they dare to temporarily increase their money. I really don't know how to write the word "death"!"
As Gu Ren expected, Barney Ross was very dissatisfied with the pirate leader's temporary price increase. Their operation was only one million yuan in employment fees. It was a dream that these pirates wanted to get another two million when they spoke.
"The last chance! I'll take it or not!" Although the pirates had been sentenced to death, Barney Ross decided to treat the hostages first and then fight, and wait until the hostages were rescued, and then look back and take them back.
"Now! Five million dollars must be given, otherwise I will kill a hostage immediately." The pirate leader was not threatened by Barney Ross at all. He had been rampant in Somalia for many years and had long been accustomed to life and death. Money is the most important thing.
When Gongna, who was already in a very upset when he heard the pirates' refusal, burst out instantly. With a "click", he loaded the grenade in his hand. In Barney Ross's surprised gaze, he shouted to the bottom: "This is a little warning for you!"
"No!"
Barney Ross didn't expect that Gunner would act without regard to the order. Just when he was about to stop him, Gunner pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the howitzer, which was blazing with fire, rushed towards the pirates below.
At such a close distance, although howitzers can deal with the pirates, they may not even survive the hostages brought up.
Seeing that the grenade was about to explode among the crowd, Gu Ren, who was hiding at the commanding heights, quickly knelt up half-kneeled, held up the M110 sniper rifle in both hands, and didn't even have time to aim, so he pulled the trigger.
There was only a "bang" sound.
The bullet shot out from the chamber of the gun and hit the grenade in mid-air.
With the loud "boom", the explosion flames scattered everywhere, and the scattered shrapnel hit the closest pirates, and blood mist filled the surroundings for a moment.
Chapter completed!
