There are all dirt roads in the Kimberley Mountains, but the passing vehicles drove very fast. In less than 3 minutes, they appeared in Long Zhan's field of vision.

Although the car was very worn, the paint on the surface was gone, covered in dust, and the front bumper was collapsed.

But Long Zhan still recognized him at a glance.

This is a sixth-generation Toyota Hilux Tiger pickup truck that has been customized and modified, with a thick external anti-collision beam installed in the front and a wading hose specially raised to the A-pillar roof, which greatly enhances the off-road capabilities.

.

The car was so old that no repairs were done, and no maintenance was ever done.

It seems that the car owner only wants mobility.

From a psychological perspective, the owner of the car is not living a positive life, which is called Buddhist at best and decadent at worst.

To put it bluntly...

That is, there is no goal in life at all. The state of life is to live one day at a time. When you have no money, you will earn a little. When you have money, you will eat, drink, have fun, lie down and rest. The goal of daily life is just one -

As long as you don’t starve to death!

"This guy is too careless. Is he really qualified for the rescue mission?"

As the broken pickup truck got closer and closer, Long Zhan, who had studied psychology and basically made a judgment about the owner of the car, couldn't help but start to question Nicole's vision.

but.

It doesn't last long.

When the Toyota pickup truck passed through the fence gate and stopped in front of the gate with rising dust, the driver opened the door and got out.

The doubts in Long Zhan's heart disappeared in an instant.

The man who got out of the car was unkempt, with a sloppy beard and badly styled hair. But through the bulging undershirt, it was easy to see that he had strong muscles.

And his height is also very outstanding.

Wearing hiking boots, he looks about 1.95 meters tall, which proves that his naked height is definitely over 1.9 meters, and he can be considered a macho man wherever he goes.

Pair it with a pair of handmade Matsuda M3040 gold sunglasses priced at more than $500.

Don't say it.

Quite handsome and cool.

However, his handsomeness is second only to his head, because the rest of his body below the head is completely incompatible with the word handsome.

He was wearing a brown tank top, a pair of boxer shorts, and a pair of flip-flops.

He was also holding a bottle of Dulac beer produced in Australia, which is very popular in the Kimberley area and is very popular among locals.

Getting out of the car while drinking is a proper drunk driving.

With this attitude of completely letting go of oneself, coupled with this outfit that completely disregards image, if I can add a beer belly, I will definitely have the image of a greasy uncle.

Fortunately, although this strong man lived a sloppy life, he still maintained a good figure, which barely gained him a few points.

The reason why Long Zhan saw his true face and no longer questioned his abilities was that this sloppy man had been friends with him for many years.

"Taylor? I didn't expect to meet you here. It's incredible."

Long Zhan recognized the person who got off the car at a glance and walked over with a smile.

The slovenly man who got off the car also recognized Long Zhan at a glance and walked over with the same smile.

"Long, my good brother, is indeed incredible. I never thought in my wildest dreams that we would meet here after many years of separation."

"Yeah, it makes me happy to meet you in this place where birds don't shit."

Taylor and Long Zhan walked over to each other and hugged each other. It was a bear hug between men. The smiles on their faces were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

"When you were transferred from the first team to the third team, five years have passed since then. Time flies so fast."

Taylor sighed repeatedly and said in surprise: "If my feeling is correct, you are not only stronger than you were five years ago, but you also seem to be taller."

"A team? SEAL team?" Nicole thought to herself.

After knowing Taylor for so many years, Nicole knew that Taylor must have served in the U.S. military and was a special forces member due to the strong strength he displayed in action.

But until this moment today, she didn't know which special force it was.

Navy SEALs, world famous.

Realizing that Long Zhan was also from the Navy SEALs, the only trace of worry in Nicole's heart was completely calmed down at this moment.

It was the first time in Nicole's life to command two former elite SEALs.

A little excited!

Long Zhan knew his height better than anyone else. He had no way to explain it, so he could only jokingly say: "Your feeling is right. I seem to be still growing twice as an adult, and I'm still 2 centimeters short."

, I’m about to cross the two-meter mark.”

"Holyshit, secondary growth? You are really a freak. You have never changed. God knows what surprises you will give me next time."

"Who knows? Maybe next time we meet, I will grow a pair of wings, haha."

Long Zhan used his nonsensical humor again, and then asked with some confusion: "Weren't you married back then and already had children? Why are you living alone in this remote place now?"

As soon as Long Zhan asked this question, Taylor, who was smiling when he met an old friend, changed his face instantly.

The smile faded, and his eyes were full of sadness.

Long Zhan immediately reacted and realized that Taylor's family must have undergone tremendous changes, which ultimately led to him becoming the decadent person he is today.

What exactly happened, Long Zhan couldn't guess.

In this case, it is not convenient to ask questions, so as not to expose Taylor's scars and make him feel more uncomfortable.

I want to comfort me but don't know where to start. Tough guys don't need the comfort of a girl, but the atmosphere of the topic has been destroyed, so it will be difficult to continue.

Fortunately, Nicole, who had been standing nearby without speaking, was surprised that Long Zhan and Taylor were acquaintances, and she stepped forward in time when she realized that the atmosphere was not right.

"Hey, Lake, I'm not a transparent person, aren't you going to say hello to me?"

Women have unique advantages in nurturing emotions and soft topics. Nicole was very skillful in what she said, changing the topic in an understatement.

"You call this place home, don't you?"

Taylor replied with a meaningful word, forced a smile on his face, and punched Long Zhan in the chest: "Let's go in and have a drink together."

After saying that, Taylor walked straight into the house.

Long Zhan and Nicole followed behind and finally stepped into this mountain cabin.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Long Zhan's eyes became strange.

Nicole stretched out her slender index finger in astonishment, pointed at the wall inside the room, frowned and said, "There is a chicken in your bathtub!!"

"He is my pet. I like chickens. If they could stop pooping everywhere, I would keep a bunch of them instead of just one."

Taylor didn't think there was a problem and explained in a serious manner.

"..."

Long Zhan and Nicole were speechless!

"You can find a place to sit by yourselves, you're welcome."

Taylor glanced at the bathtub full of poop, walked to the washbasin next to the bathtub, turned on the faucet, and washed away the dust on his face from running up the mountain.

"What you said is the same as what you didn't say. Your place is like a doghouse. It's good if I can stand down."

Long Zhan glanced at the entire room. There were all kinds of debris piled everywhere, and he couldn't even keep his feet around. He complained mercilessly.

When talking between old acquaintances, there are not so many worries.

"Compared to camping at night in Afghanistan, this place is already very good. At least you don't have to worry about being bombed in the middle of the night."

Taylor's ability to adjust his emotions was good. He washed his face and returned to his normal state. There was no heavy pain in his eyes, and he could still joke with Long Zhan.

While talking, he walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator that was not powered on, took out two bottles of beer, and threw one bottle to Long Zhan.

“The local Dulac beer is just okay.”

After saying that, he picked up the dusty spoon next to him, pried open the cap of the other bottle in his hand, and poured it into his mouth.

There is absolutely no intention of giving a bottle to the remaining Nicole.

Long Zhan easily caught the thrown beer, and under Nicole's surprised look again, he opened the cap of the beer bottle with just his thumbs.

There are no tricks to speak of.

It was purely based on the callus taken from the inside of the tiger's mouth of the thumb while holding the gun for many years as a fulcrum, and with pure strength, it was broken open.

Compared to Nicole's fuss, Taylor seemed to be used to it, without any change in his expression.

Many people can open bottle caps with bare hands, and Taylor can do it too.

It just requires catching skills.

Like Long Zhan, who can break it with his thumbs and do it so easily, Taylor can't do it, and he hasn't seen anyone else do it.

The reason why I am not surprised is mainly because I have seen enough and become accustomed to it.
