Summoning Mercenaries

Chapter 23 Flagrant corruption

“Squeak!” The harsh sound of the brake pads resounded throughout the checkpoint.

At this time, Simon had already driven a pickup to the checkpoint, and saw that the toll station had been transformed into a small military fortress.

originally had six channels, but now only the middle two are open. The remaining four channels are blocked by sandbags. Behind the sandbags are heavy machine guns controlled by two soldiers.

There are heavily armed soldiers behind the heavy machine guns, and their equipment is similar to that of Kent’s soldiers who traveled through the former world.

Desert camouflage military uniform, light body armor with armed belt, helmet and face shield.

But looking closely at these soldiers, there are a dazzling array of pendants. There is a small display in the front of the right eye of the helmet, which can display the remaining bullets in the magazine and the health status of the soldiers.

There is a microcomputer on the right wrist of the officer, and he can directly get the real-time information of the soldiers of the whole squad.

It can be said that, at first glance, these soldiers are similar to the soldiers before Kent in dress and equipment, but upon closer inspection, there is a qualitative difference.

…

When Kent, who was sitting in the co-pilot position, was observing these soldiers, the soldier who looked like an officer had already stepped forward, walked to the window of the pickup truck driver’s seat, and knocked.

Wait for Simon to lower the window. After seeing Kent and Simon’s equipment, the officer frowned slightly and said, “Gentlemen, please get out of the car for inspection.”

“it is good.”

Simon waved his hand, and then everyone in the pickup truck opened the door and walked down.

The officer also beckoned from behind, and jogged up to the three soldiers, saluting at the officer: “Sir!”

“Yeah.” The officer nodded slightly and pointed to Kent’s group and said, “You will have one person search the pickup truck thoroughly, and the other will search the three ladies.”

“Yes! Sir!” The three soldiers said in unison, and then two of them ran out, one of them opened the door of the pickup truck and walked into the car to search.

The other person walked up to the girls, and after paying them a military salute, they began a body search.

Due to the characteristics of the zombie virus, it can be assimilated into a zombie within ten minutes after being bitten. Therefore, the soldiers did not ask the girls to undergo a stripping examination to determine if they had any signs of being bitten.

The only soldiers remaining behind the officer are indeed guarded, looking at the three of Kent, Simon and Quill.

At this time, the officer also began to speak, looked at Kent and Simon, and asked, “Excuse me, who are you two?”

“…” Simon did not speak.

But Kent smiled slightly and said, “Hello, my teammates and I are mercenaries, hired to protect (pointing to Quail next to him), the professor of Oxford University.”

When Kent’s voice just fell, Quill also took out his ID card in time and handed it to the officer: “Hello, my name is Quill Sears. I am a professor in the Department of History at Oxford University and an archaeologist.

My students and I are going to investigate the prehistoric ruins in Sidonia. The school took into account the reasons for the armed organization of Glad, so it provided funds and asked me to hire some security personnel. ”

Speaking of this, Quill’s eyes are reddish, his nose takes a deep breath, and then he is afraid: “If there weren’t these two beside me (pointing to Kent and Simon), my students and I…may never survive. .”

After receiving Quail’s identity certificate, the officer frowned and glanced at it, then returned it to Quail, then looked at Kent and Simon, and asked: “You… have nothing to do with Glad?”

“No.” Kent and Simon said in unison.

At this moment, the soldier who searched the pickup truck walked to the officer’s side with a black travel bag and saluted the army:

“The report did not find any suspicious objects, only night vision devices and a large amount of food and drinking water, but a large bag of cash was found!”

“Oh?” Hearing the soldier’s report, the officer who was frowning finally stretched his brows a lot, stooping to remove the travel bag, and after confirming that there was a lot of cash inside, he got up and said, “What is this cash?”

“Haha.” Kent chuckled and said, “Mr. Officer, you should know that those of us who are mercenaries always like to collect cash. As for those who transfer money with Swiss banks, they are all major military contractors. .”

“Well, indeed.” The officer squeezed his chin in one hand, with a taunting taste: “You are a group of desperadoes who sell their lives for money. You can only feel at ease if you hold money by your side.”

Kent didn’t care about the officer’s words, but smiled and said, “Hehe, you are a regular army, we are only second-rate trash fish. Without your protection, the southern part of Mars will suffer.”

“That is.” The officer was very comfortable with Kent’s words, and looked up at Kent and Simon with a complacent appearance.

“…” Although Simon didn’t say anything, he clenched his fists, and narrowed his eyes to look at the officer.

Kent just glanced at it from the corner of the light and knew why Simon was so upset. After all, Simon was from the Special Operations Department, UU reading www.uukanshuu. Com was ridiculed by a mere sergeant and was a little annoyed.

However, the sergeant officer didn’t mean to let Kent and the others pass, but rubbed his right index finger and thumb back and forth, which seemed to be suggesting something.

Kent of course noticed the small behavior of the sergeant officer. He walked to the travel bag full of cash, took out three stacks of banknotes and stuffed them into the opponent’s hands, saying:

“Look at your hot weather, but fortunately, you have to check the vehicle to ensure the safety of the rear. This 30,000 cash will be my brother and I will reward you. Look at this pass…”

“Oh?” The sergeant officer secretly took the banknote, pinched it with his hand, and immediately put it in his pocket, and then smiled openly: “Not bad, you mercenaries are not fools.”

“That is.” Kent still smiled, and continued: “After all, are you also trying to protect us? Is this pass…?”

“Of course!” The sergeant officer waved his hand, glanced back, and said loudly, “Soldiers! Get them a pass!”

“Yes!” A soldier saluted a military salute, turned around and ran to the simple shed set aside.

Within half a minute, the soldier took a document and handed it to Kent.

At this time, the sergeant officer smiled slightly and said, “With this, going to Boriska from here is unimpeded, and your 30,000 has no white flowers.”

“Thank you.” Kent also laughed back, and then took everyone into the car.

Kent sat in the co-pilot, still smiling at the officer through the car window.

But when Simon drove the pickup away from the checkpoint, Kent’s smile was stagnant, and he said blankly: “Hey, if you have absolute strength, you would have solved the group of crooked melons.”
