“If you have anything to say, then speak it out; why are you suppressing it?” T6, who was reloading, spoke frankly: “If there’s anything, us brothers would face it together, no matter how difficult a mission is, hadn’t we returned each time smoothly, this time wouldn’t be different.” With that said, he raised his fists and hit G3’s shoulder gently.
G3 finished calibrating the sights; he gazed at the comrade in front of him, eyebrows raised, “Since when did Old T start being concerned about me? That’s hard to come by; I feel flattered.”
“You have a girlfriend concerned about you. Do I even need to be?” T6 rolled his eyes at him, passing the reloaded automatic rifles to K7 for re-inspection, “However, we’re comrades, after all, seeing you biting on that bullet again, out of the kindness in my heart, I was afraid you’d suffocate yourself by whatever you have on your mind. Speak, what’s it about.”
“Just now, with Q King and Blue Bird around, you couldn’t say it. Now that both of them have left, you can speak whatever it is on your mind.” T6’s eyes stared at him with seriousness; they were comrades who had fought together, they understood the meaning behind each mannerism among themselves.
G3’s mood was obviously because of Q King or Blue Bird. However, he believed it had something to do with Blue Bird.
The other three comrades turned their eyes on G3, then, G3’s usually hoarse voice rumbled sternly, “I’m a bit worried about Blue Bird; after Z7’s analysis just now, even her complexion changed.”
Her father, whom she had never met, was among the scientists they were going to rescue this time, that was already a cruel news by itself, and now that their analysis was that it was very likely he had taken out the tracker implanted in him by himself… a knife stabbed into his arm, gouged it out, how much courage would that even take!
K7 finished the job in his hands; he picked up a combat dagger and a handgun, heraised and pointed his chin at V8, and walked towards the door without saying anything.
The two of them needed to get Pigeon, as well as take a look into their surroundings. Meanwhile, T6 and G3 would be walking around the hotel and hotel perimeter and understanding the area.
“Stop thinking; Blue Bird knows what she needs to do; I have faith in her.” V8 picked up his weapons and departed, as he comforted G3 like so.
T6 then said: “I also believe that Blue Bird knows what she needs to do, don’t overthink it. Better to think about the next stages of our plans, come, let’s go take a walk, the hotel’s interior seemed quite nice, we could take a look. Get some rest after returning later; by the time Q King returns, we’ll have to do our jobs, and go to our stations, and prepare for our operation at any time. Oh, right, us two could go and have a meal; there’s a restaurant beside the hotel, G3, bring some Somalia shillings, we’ll first feed our stomachs.”
The four of them left front and back, now only Z7 with a computer on his lap was left in the room; he couldn’t leave; he needed to guard their equipment, as well as their satellite communications systems.
Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian, who had left earlier, got onto a motorcycle, Xia Jinyuan spoke out the address of a restaurant in Arabic, and the African man whose head was shaved till it shined started up his motorcycle and departed from the hotel entrance in extreme familiarity.
In Somalia, the motorcycle was necessary transportation as well.
After about ten minutes, Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian walked into a restaurant. This was a Western restaurant, business was scarce, and there weren’t many customers; this was the place where they were meeting Lin Feng, code-named ‘Mountain Eagle.’
After the arrival of the millenia, Somalia had a short moment of peace; some of the closed restaurants were starting to open up; this Western restaurant was among the few that didn’t close down even though the flames of war had affected them.
The owner of this Western restaurant was rumored to be a Chinese man.
The couple sat down, a child walked over, his eyes revealed a mature and seasoned look that was not in line with his age, and he greeted them very politely in English.
