The bosses of both sides met in the middle of the battlefield and agreed on a trading time of one hour.
In fact, less than 50 minutes later, on the only access road to the left of the palm forest to the east, an ordinary pickup truck with a white cloth strip stuck on the front and no weapons installed appeared on the road.
Drive slowly along the road towards the base at an average speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour.
When they reached the middle line of the exchange of fire between the two sides, about 100 meters away from the base's first line of defense, the pickup truck stopped again.
The mercenary driving the pickup truck got out of the truck, took a puff of smoke and ran away without looking back.
The mercenaries deliver the materials to the central point, and then the contractor sends people to inspect them, and then transports the goods back to the base after confirming that they are correct.
This was agreed upon from the beginning.
"I need someone to go over and check the goods to make sure there's nothing fishy inside. Which of you will go?" Long Zhan asked everyone around him.
"I go!"
"let me!"
"Boss, I can do it."
…
Perhaps Long Zhan had taken a good lead before and boosted everyone's morale. None of the contractors was a coward, and they all stepped forward to show off.
Even though there are many unknown risks in this trip, no one will care in the excitement.
When Long Zhan saw so many people coming forward, he was very pleased that he had not made a mistake. He was very satisfied with the atmosphere of the team and said with a smile: "Just go to one."
"Then let me do it. I used to be an EOD expert, so I'm more suitable." Cook said.
Long Zhan thought that if the mercenaries were cunning and insidious, they might indeed hide some explosives in the vehicle and then detonate them after the vehicle entered the base, causing a devastating blow to the base.
Even if there are only a few dozen kilograms of TNT hidden in the car, it is powerful enough to cover the entire base.
Even if the contractors in the base are not killed, they will be stunned and disoriented.
When the mercenaries take advantage of the opportunity, they will swarm in. Once the contractors recover from the dizziness of the explosion, it may be too late to defend.
If a professional EOD expert is there, this kind of accident can be prevented to the greatest extent.
Thinking of this, Long Zhan decisively agreed: "Okay, Cook, it's up to you. Make sure to check clearly. We have no room for mistakes."
"Don't worry, I'm a professional in this area."
Cook confidently patted his chest in assurance, put the AK47 behind his back, kicked off his feet and pulled it up with his hands, and jumped up from the trench easily.
Jogging all the way to the pickup truck.
Cook is quite smart and worthy of being a veteran, with experience reflected in everything.
As he ran all the way, his upper body intentionally swayed left and right, as if his legs and feet were unsteady and he was running unsteadily.
And I specifically choose to run next to areas with dense grass and undulating terrain.
After such careful handling, even if the opponent wanted to shoot him, there was a high probability of missing the vital point. Cook could also jump into the pit next to him and hide to save his life as much as possible.
Although the probability of shooting from the opposite side is extremely low, it is important to have this kind of crisis awareness.
It took thirty or forty seconds for Cook to successfully run to the pickup truck. The mercenary did not fire and looked very sincere.
Being able to do things like tampering with the car seems like Long Zhan's worries are unfounded.
Cook, however, did not relax.
As soon as he came to the pickup truck, he immediately used professional means to investigate.
Climb down under the car and take a look around; tap the tires with a gun to see if the echo is normal. If there is a foreign object inside, the sound will be different; open the hood and check carefully; open the cab seats and check each one;
There are piles of various canned and vacuum-packed foods, and there are at least one ton-sized car trunks, so check them more carefully.
Cook spent nearly 5 minutes checking everything inside and outside the car to make sure there was nothing abnormal. He raised his hand and gave Long Zhan a sign that everything was normal.
Long Zhan also raised his right hand and raised his head high to draw a circle to indicate withdrawal.
Cook got the order and got into the cab, turned on the engine and started the accelerator. The car whined black smoke and rushed straight into the base along the road.
Two circles of trenches were dug outside the base, and the road was the only place that was not cut off.
The only entrance and exit for vehicles entering and exiting the base!
Several contractors who were guarding the only entrance and exit on both sides of the first trench defense line saw Cook driving back and immediately came up to remove all obstacles on the road.
After Cook's pickup truck whizzed by with dust, they moved the obstacles back onto the road.
"Start, let them in."
The French cannon, who had been paying close attention to the pickup truck, saw the pickup truck being driven back by the contractor, and immediately issued an order to his younger brother.
soon.
An ambulance fleet of eight vehicles, consisting of three jeeps and five pickup trucks, slowly drove out from the left and right sides of the palm grove.
Every two vehicles form a group and run in four different directions: southeast, northwest, and southeast.
Long Zhan used his binoculars to scan around the eight vehicles and found that each vehicle was occupied by 4 to 5 mercenaries. Neither the station nor the mercenaries had weapons on them. Instead, they all had red cross armbands hanging on their shoulders.
It looked like there was nothing unusual about the people who moved the body.
Although Long Zhan couldn't find any abnormalities after searching for a long time, he still felt that something was wrong, so he patted Bobby Gu on the shoulder next to him.
He handed the telescope to her and said: "Take this, go to the roof of the office building, keep an eye on me, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."
"Okay, boss."
Bobby took the telescope and ran back along the ditch without slacking off.
As the sound of Bobby's leaving footsteps gradually faded away, Long Zhan entered a relatively quiet environment. No one spoke, only the sound of breathing was left.
Everyone turned their attention forward, locking eyes on the mercenary vehicles that had entered the combat zone.
The mercenary side was also very quiet.
It was the same in the four directions of south, south, north and west. At a glance, there was not a single mercenary in sight. It seemed that all the mercenaries had already evacuated.
In fact, they were just hiding, hiding in pits and other terrain blind spots.
Fortunately, none of the mercenaries were exposed, especially the French cannon, who was already nervous at this time, otherwise Long Zhan would definitely have noticed something fishy.
With both parties reaching cooperation, time passed minute by minute.
Eight jeeps and pickup trucks entered the scene, running back and forth on the battlefield and behind the mercenaries, carrying away carloads of corpses.
As more and more corpses were transported away, the faint smell of corpses became more and more dull.
More than 20 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
"Boss, there's a problem."
Just when Long Zhan's uneasiness became more and more intense, Cook, who had just been sent out, suddenly ran back with a very strange look on his face.
Long Zhan immediately took the initiative to greet him and asked, "What's the problem?"
