In the living room.
Everyone threw their backpacks aside and lay down on the sofa.
"George, go cook or call for takeout!”the captain ordered.
"Why is it me again?"
"Who else could it be if not you?" The captain glared at him, then pointed at Li Qinghe and the girl." Li Youshi, you do it tonight!”
George was speechless. He could only get up and go upstairs to call for takeout.
The Chinese woman, Li Qing, pulled Chen Shuang to the living room and sat down.
Everyone's spirits were lifted as they sat down.
Somehow, they all felt that this unfamiliar girl was very strange, but they couldn't tell why.
Therefore, everyone wanted to hear Li Qing's question.
"Chen Shuang, how old are you this year?" Li Qing asked.
"15 years old!" Chen Shuang answered timidly.”
What was that? Only 15 years old?
Everyone was stunned.
In Australia, citizens were considered adults between the ages of 16 to 18. In other words, this strange little girl was still a minor!
An underage girl actually ran into the primeval forest.
If this matter was reported to the Youth Protection Association, the " guardian " would be sued.
In this world, the developed countries had done a good job in protecting the children.
The laws in this area were extremely strict.
"Chen Shuang, tell me, why did you run into the primeval forest at night?”
Chen Shuang lowered his head and said nothing.
"Chen Shuang, I see that you're wearing a school uniform. Can you tell me where you studied before?”
Chen Shuang remained silent.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing felt a little helpless. She then turned around and shook her head slightly at the captain, indicating that she did not get anything out of him.
The captain frowned and said in English.
Li Qing nodded and said to the girl,"" Chen Shuang, I'll call the police station. They'll…"
Before he could finish, Chen Shuang suddenly raised his head and pulled Li Qing's sleeve."Don't call the police! Sister, don't call the police."
Li Qing was stunned. What did he mean?
"Sister, don't call the police! I beg you!" Chen Shuang pulled Li Qing tightly and begged.
Hearing this, Li Qing instantly understood.
"Did you sneak out? Run away from home?"
Chen Shuang lowered his head once again, not saying a word.
OH，MYGOD！
At this moment, everyone was speechless.
Who would have thought that everyone would bring back a problematic girl? F * ck, what should we do now?
Everyone looked at their captain.
The white captain thought for a moment and made a decision."Li Qing, help her call the police!"
"But…"
"No buts. Don't forget our identities, we still have a mission!”
Li Qing couldn't refute this. She took out her phone and prepared to call the police.
At this moment.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
There was a knock on the door, as if an uninvited guest had arrived.
"Who is it?"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A middle-aged man with a gold chain around his neck led a few black men in.
Seeing this scene, everyone stood up collectively, and their expressions instantly changed.
The white captain's face was ashen as he quickly went up to him.
"Hunter, what do you mean?"
"Ha! What did he mean? Big Boss asked me to come over and take a look!"
The middle-aged man ignored everyone's angry gazes and walked past them to sit down on the sofa.
Suddenly!
He was stunned for a moment, then sneered,"Yo, why is there a little girl? James, is this your new recruit?”
James was the name of the white captain.
He had accepted a bounty from an international medical group to go to the primeval forest to find a special plant for medical experiments to treat cancer.
Rather than calling them a wilderness exploration team, they were more like a mercenary team.
There were many teams like them in the entire world. It wasn't just in the primeval forests of Australia, but also in China's Shennongjia, Southeast Asia's rainforests, and the Amazon jungle... There were countless such mercenary teams accepting bounty missions.
Multinational medical groups had invested more than 20 billion dollars in this project.
At this moment, Captain James made a gesture to Li Qing, signaling her to bring the little girl upstairs.
Li Qing quickly pulled Chen Shuang up and went upstairs.
"Hunter, we went to the primeval forest again, but we didn't find the plant required for the mission.”Captain James explained.
Bang!
The middle-aged man named Hunter slapped the coffee table in the living room.
"You didn't find it? James, how long did you say your team has been on this mission? It had been four months, but he still hadn't found her. Didn't the big boss give you money? Didn't the big boss provide you with advanced exploration equipment? And you? Four months and nothing."
Captain Jamu and his team members were rendered speechless by the other party's curses.
They had already tried their best, but the Goddess of Luck was not on their side.
"James, according to the guild rules, if you can't complete the mission, you must pay us three times the bounty. Tell me, how much is triple the bounty?”
Captain Jamu's expression turned ugly."" 1.2 million USD!"
"So, do you have 1.2 million dollars?”
"No!"
Captain Jamu was in despair and collapsed on the ground.
"Captain!" " Captain!"
Everyone rushed forward and helped their captain up.
"Mr. Hunt, we have tried our best! "Last month, we stayed in the forest for 19 consecutive days. After we came out, everyone was hospitalized..." One of the team members explained anxiously.
"Get lost! You have no right to talk to me!" The middle-aged man interrupted him and looked at their white captain." James, what do you think we should do now? Compensate?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt, we don't have that much money.”
"No money?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Behind them, a few black men instantly pulled out their pistols from their waists and pointed their black muzzles at James and the others.
Seeing this, James and the others broke out in cold sweat.
"Mr. Hunt, can you please ask the big boss to give us a few more days?" Captain James pleaded. We'll go to the forest again tomorrow. We'll definitely find those wild plants.”
"Extension? Haha, James, you're an old mercenary. Was there a saying in the mercenary world that allowed for a few days?”
Captain Jamu was speechless, his heart filled with despair.
The iron rule of the mercenary world was to either complete the mission or refund the commission and pay up.
"James, on account of our past friendship, I have a new mission here. As long as you accept this new mission, the compensation will be written off.”
What was that? New mission?
Captain Jamu and his team members raised their heads and looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
"Yes, a new mission!" The middle-aged man nodded and said," This afternoon, a red mecha flew into Australia. Its final landing point was the eastern part of the forest. As long as you accept this mission and help the corporation find that red mecha, all the debts owed to your team will be written off, and the corporation will pay you another million dollars. Why? Will you accept this mission?"
Captain Jamu shook his head in fear.
If it was in the afternoon, before he received any news, he would definitely accept this mission.
But now, agents and military special forces from dozens of countries, including China, America, Russia, Japan, Britain, and France, had entered the country and were doing their best to search for that mecha in the eastern part of the forest.
According to the news, gunshots were heard all the time in the eastern part of the forest, and there were even the roars of individual missiles.
How could a private team dare to participate in such a national-level confrontation?
This was courting death!
"Hunter, I'm sorry. We don't dare to accept this mission.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face turned pale.
"Good! James, prepare the compensation. Tomorrow at noon, I'll come and get it. If he didn't have the money, then he had to keep his life!”
"Let's go!"
With that, the middle-aged man stood up and left with his subordinates.
James and the others looked desperate.
1.2 million US dollars, a whole 1.2 million US dollars. No matter what, they would not be able to come up with such a large amount of funds.
What about tomorrow?
Oh, right, there was also that strange girl that he had picked up.
What about her?
