Chapter 5, Ideas

The old demon is the Irishman brought by the captain

This journey spans less than one hundred kilometers, which is the escape route taken by Qi Tianlin and his group of dozens at that time. The rebel forces have already crossed this area and advanced westward. This weary solitary traveler encountered no additional troubles and arrived outside the town two days later

Looking at the seven MasterCards in hand, five of them have their passwords written on them. Only Baby says his sister knows the password, and Xiong Yu says his wife knows the password. There is at least two million dollars here, which they earned from new accounts opened this year. There seems to be a legend that if someone reveals their account to their family in advance, either their wife will abscond with the money, or their life will be in jeopardy on the battlefield. Therefore, these soldiers change their accounts every year, hoping to earn money to take home, so that on the day they can no longer fight, they can live out their remaining years in peace.

Daxiong is Somali, and he is also a local person nurtured by the captain himself

The sky is a deep blue, with clouds that are so faint they seem to be just wisps, and there is no wind; everywhere there is a sense of lifelessness.

Let us first consider Somalia among the seven locations on the map. After the matters concerning the mosque are completed, we will head to Somalia. It appears to be the only place that belongs to Africa, and it is said that the black girls also come from there. Perhaps we might encounter something interesting.

Fulfilling the brothers' wishes is the most straightforward matter

The most important thing is, what do you intend to do yourself

Out of caution, Qi Tianlin decided to first visit a cement factory under construction outside the town. This factory was being built by a Chinese engineering company, and apart from the security personnel, all the workers there were Chinese. When he was stationed in the town, Qi Tianlin would often come over to chat with the workers, which was a rare opportunity for him to learn about the situation back home. However, as the situation became increasingly tense, the construction site was finally abandoned a month ago, and the workers were evacuated back to their country. It was a bus sent by the consulate that came to pick them up. Qi Tianlin watched from a distance, feeling a bit envious of that sense of having one's homeland behind them, a feeling he had not experienced for many years.

I just saw that there are still some food supplies from the country buried in the collapsed warehouse behind the cafeteria, which have not been moved. With his strength, he can naturally dig them out. Therefore, for the time being, let’s rest here. If any unexpected events occur, we can also use the excuse that we are workers from this factory. Leaving this country should not be too difficult.

Qi Tianlin looked at the clumps of beard scattered on the ground, contemplating in his heart

I went to the back of the cafeteria that had already collapsed in the factory area and found the underground water well that the engineering company had dug. I pumped up a bucket of water, took a comfortable shower, changed into some clothes, and took a Chinese fan I had just found. Carrying only a handgun, I climbed up a dust treatment tower. From here, I could overlook the surroundings; it was indeed an excellent observation point. However, it was not suitable for combat, as a single rocket could be fatal.

Qi Tianlin felt quite satisfied, skillfully finding an electrician's room within the factory area to serve as his temporary refuge. He took a moment to rest, set down his backpack, and then headed over to the dormitory area to rummage through things. Due to his understanding of the habits of his fellow countrymen when it comes to organizing belongings, he discovered an unopened pack of underwear on top of a cabinet. Given the preciousness of the water source here, the experienced foreign laborers knew to wholesale some inexpensive underwear, as it was cheaper to replace them when dirty than to wash them.

Gala is actually a small town under the jurisdiction of Aweland City, located at https://m.hetushu.com. The town relies entirely on the discovery of oil for its inhabitants. However, apart from the oil refinery area, the town is not large, with only about a hundred households. After the outbreak of conflict, many residents fled to larger cities, seemingly believing that the more people there are, the safer it is.

Pulling out the defense claw left by the old demon, it is a beautifully crafted alloy steel piece, about the size of a palm, shaped like an eagle's claw. The inner side features serrations and a cutting edge, while the handle is a circular shape. One could slowly shave off their beard with the sharp edge, perhaps many people in the town still remember that Asian bearded guy from the mercenaries

Isn't there a saying that goes, the more you deliberately seek something, the less likely you are to find it; when you are not preoccupied with other matters, that very thing may just appear before you

The baby is in the United States, in Montana, while Qi Tianlin has yet to set foot on that land

With slow movements of his hands, he was calculating in his mind. Having stayed here for half a year, he had become somewhat familiar with the local area. The mosque in the city was the largest in the nearby provinces. The most prominent elder had died suddenly last month, and all the powerful elders in the vicinity had gathered, both to pay their respects and to vie for ownership of the mosque. He had visited once to witness the commotion, where the crowd was overwhelming. It was said that it would take three months to elect a new elder, after which the mosque might settle down a bit. Perhaps that would be the time for him to take action and retrieve the so-called sacred object.

The mosque is located sixty kilometers away. After shaving, Qi Tianlin casually etched a world map on the wall with his defensive claw, with the same rooster at the center.

The male fish comes from Greece, and like Qitianlin, belongs to a very rare nationality

The current situation requires finding a third option, which is the relic of Otar. Recently, we should complete this task and then fulfill the wishes of our brothers, while gradually searching for clues about the individuals involved in the process

It is the most uncertain matter to find those three individuals who possess no information whatsoever

The recidivist is a Russian, a firsthand witness of the Second Chechen War

What about Qi Tianlin? He has collected five bank cards, all stored in a safe deposit box at a bank in France. If he does not contact his lawyer within a year, they will be transferred back to the country. It seems that when visiting the Citroën family, it is also necessary to check in with his lawyer.

The cement factory is also in disarray. After the workers evacuated, it is evident that it has undergone several rounds of looting. There are hardly any usable materials left, and it is chaotic everywhere, with no signs of human presence.

This North African country is already engulfed in flames of war, with conflicts arising everywhere! Sporadic soldiers and militia have begun to appear near Gala Town, and residents capable of fleeing are escaping in small groups to larger cities, seemingly finding some solace in the presence of more people.

Citroën is French

The captain is a retired member of the British Special Forces, possessing the old-fashioned British colonial mindset towards Africa, which is why he has come here to continue his adventures and serve.

The protests that have lasted for six months have gradually evolved into a rebellion

Qi Tianlin has never been a particularly perceptive person, and it seems that Otar is not either. His thought process remains quite simplistic; when faced with difficult decisions, he simply seeks three solutions and chooses the middle one

In the town, which is in disarray and filled with the scent of yellow earth, the residents, both young and old, are hurriedly packing their belongings in every house, large and small

The so-called three-option rule in the military requires finding another option.

Qi Tianlin and his team have been rooted here for the past six months. Their compensation is structured such that they receive half upfront, with the remaining half disbursed monthly. In fact, by the last two months, they had already received the full amount, and the subsequent payments were doubled, settled in cash, all in US dollars. It must be said that the government truly does not owe them any money.
