After a long silence, Lawrence told Cheng Yu that he needed to think about it again.
Of course Cheng Yu didn't care. He didn't care whether Lawrence agreed or not, and if possible, Cheng Yu wanted to kill Lawrence.
In any case, avenging Vincent's father can be regarded as Cheng Yu's promise to Vincent, even if Cheng Yu never really said this promise.
Cheng Yu didn't know that his indifferent performance, in the eyes of Lawrence, was increasingly regarded as a sign that the forces represented by Cheng Yu were indeed moving forward with multiple forces and did not bet on him alone.
All in all, both of them had their own agendas and ended up eating this tasteless late-night snack.
After returning to the room, Cheng Yu certainly didn't think about going out again. First of all, a life had been lost in the laboratory on the top of the mountain. Even if the life was committed in front of Andre, Feyenoord's suicide was too high.
It's so inexplicable that even if those people are not too alert, they will at least be more nervous than usual.
Cheng Yu would really feel uncomfortable running up at this time.
Lying down on the bed, Cheng Yu forced himself to fall asleep quickly. The next morning, as soon as it was light, Cheng Yu had already woken up.
In places that are very close to the Antarctic Circle, the days are longer in summer than at lower latitudes.
It will light up earlier in the morning, and it will naturally get dark later in the evening.
Basically, there are more than eighteen or nineteen hours of daylight every day, which is normal in this location during the summer.
Although it was already getting a little bright, the time was actually only about four o'clock. Cheng Yu actually didn't sleep enough, but he thought that nothing would happen during the day. On the contrary, at this time, everyone should still be sleeping, even if
After waking up and feeling relatively relaxed, Cheng Yu decided to go out for a walk alone.
After getting up, Cheng Yu went out directly without covering anything. At this time, there was no need to worry about being photographed by the surveillance camera.
Although it is summer, it is still a bit cool on the sea island early in the morning. As soon as Cheng Yu went out, he went back, went to the activity room, took a bottle of whiskey, took a few sips, thought about it, and carried it with him.
On hand.
Along the mountain road up the mountain, Cheng Yu's goal was not the top of the mountain, but after passing the two houses with surveillance functions a little further up, there was a branch road, and Cheng Yu's goal was there.
When following Cindy up the mountain on the first day, Cheng Yu noticed this fork in the road. He also asked Cindy, and Cindy told him that it was the only road leading to the other side of the mountain.
At that time, Cindy said: "Remember when we drove the yacht over from the Argentine port in the north? I changed the flag on the yacht as we approached the island, and then you should also see some figures shaking on the mountain.
Those are the security personnel guarding the mortars. Once they find that someone is trying to land on the beach without the special flag I hung, they will warn those people that this is a private island and no landing is allowed. If
If anyone dares to force a landing, they will definitely hit them with a cannonball."
Regarding the existence of mortars, Cheng Yu certainly needed to figure out what was going on.
According to Cindy, the main mortars on the island are all left on this side, and there should be some on the side where they live, but no one usually stays there to guard them, so she doesn't know the specific location.
Cheng Yu has observed that this side of their lives is actually not suitable for mortar attacks. The bushes are too dense and it is not easy to successfully shoot out the shells. After all, most individual mortars are
The projectile is loaded directly from the barrel, and then fired upwards to bypass obstacles in a parabola to hit the target.
There are a lot of trees here, not to mention aiming has become a problem, just trying to shoot the cannonball upwards smoothly can be easily hindered.
Only the other side of the mountain faces the vast northern sea and is dominated by rocks. This terrain is more suitable for the use of mortars.
Of course, this does not give Cheng Yu a reason to conclude that there are no mortars that can constitute an effective attack in this area where he lives. If possible, he still hopes to find out the location of those mortars. If he can use some tricks,
, that would be the best.
Cheng Yu had already used firearms skills once last night under the pressure of Lawrence, and he had completely confirmed his thoughts on firearms skills.
Although it only lasted less than a minute, Cheng Yu had already determined that the firearms technique had given him more than just becoming a person who could control firearms with a caliber of less than five centimeters, turning him into a person with a hit rate of over 95%.
The sharpshooter is so simple.
The art of firearms gave Cheng Yu a complete understanding of firearms.
It's not the kind of mechanical cognition that comes from commandments, but a unique feeling for guns.
That feeling is like meeting a particularly familiar person.
When you don't see that person, it really makes you imagine his or her appearance, body shape and other details, but you may not be able to figure it out.
But when that person stands in front of you, you will have many familiar feelings from the past. Even if there is a tiny mole somewhere, you will think of it.
Even if there is a small bump somewhere on his or her bones, you will know it.
This is what it feels like.
Muscles and tactile nerves precede the brain's memory of sensations.
When Cheng Yu got the pistol at that time, he only felt heavy and cold in his hand. He no longer felt anything. Even if he stuffed the gun into Peng Bo's mouth, he only had a feeling of discomfort.
But after he used firearms skills, the gun in his hand seemed to have come to life immediately. Even if he was just holding it in his hand, Cheng Yu could feel all the subtle structures inside the gun body, even a spring, a
Cheng Yu knew exactly what shrapnel looked like.
The gun seemed to have grown in his hand and become a part of his body.
There is another kind of toy that children always have a special ability to take apart their favorite toys when they are young, but then put them back together completely.
Cheng Yu had that feeling when he held the gun in his hand. He felt that he was absolutely sure to dismantle the gun into a pile of parts in a few seconds, and that he had the ability to quickly restore it.
Because of this, Cheng Yu is absolutely sure that as long as the caliber of the mortars on the mountain is less than or equal to fifty millimeters, he can easily destroy these mortars, and the damage can be invisible on the surface.
Only when you actually want to put it into use will inexplicable problems such as explosion of the chamber occur.
Of course, most of the mortars in the world now have a caliber exceeding 50 mm. Even the smallest and lightweight mortars are measured based on a caliber of 60 mm.
Those below sixty are collectively called lightweight.
Take, for example, the equipment deployed by the entire Chinese army, which is the 60mm caliber mortar.
It can be said that in today's world military situation, it is rare to see mortars with a caliber of less than five centimeters. However, these are all equipment of the national army, not some mercenaries or small warlords.
For example, in places like South America and Africa where there are still frequent wars, many motley crews are still equipped with mortars with a caliber less than 50 mm. The key is that they are lightweight and can be carried by one person. Not only are they
The gun mount is light, and the shells are also light. Especially in the jungles of South America, if you get an 80mm caliber mortar, it is quite powerful, but who can move it? It can't even enter the rainforest.
, it’s not really a war between armies.
Cheng Yu estimated that even if there were many mortars on this island, they should have been items retired by the army in the early years. They were then resold by some arms dealers and fell into the hands of Lawrence's group of mercenaries.
inside.
This was further confirmed because it was confirmed that the financial backers behind Lawrence were only wealthy Americans and not people related to the U.S. government military.
Of course, Cheng Yu needs further confirmation as to what exactly it is.
This was Cheng Yu's main mission when he wanted to go out for a walk early this morning.
After all, although the shooting accuracy of mortars is not high, the key is to reload quickly and can fire at least a dozen shells per minute. If Cheng Yu and Li Dali fled in a hurry on the yacht on the sea, Lawrence commanded
If his subordinates chirp and chirp, if a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, if one of his casual attacks hits his yacht, it will basically stop him.
After wandering for a while, Cheng Yu had already bypassed the hill. Judging from the direction, this was already the direction he and Cindy took the boat from yesterday.
At that time, Cindy waved to a place not far ahead. Cheng Yu estimated that the person on duty should be here.
In fact, Cheng Yu hoped not to meet anyone, but this small mountain road seemed to become wider and wider as he walked. After completely bypassing it, there was a flat platform in front of him that seemed to be flattened, surrounded by people.
It is dominated by rocks and there is no cover. Unless there is no one on duty here, it is almost impossible not to be discovered.
It has been more than half an hour since Cheng Yu came out. The sky is already very bright now, and the red light of the rising sun is faintly visible at the end of the sea level in the distance.
Not far ahead, Cheng Yu could clearly see three mortars falling on the ground. At the bottom was an A2 paper-sized base, and above it was a rather compact gun barrel.
It’s really small!
Cheng Yu pretended to have nothing to do, and then, a figure moved in the grass, and a security guard walked out sleepily.
"What do you do?" The man pointed at Cheng Yu, looking like he didn't recognize Cheng Yu at all.
In fact, at this time, there were not many people on the island who didn't know Cheng Yu even if they hadn't seen him.
Cheng Yu's image is already very clear. He has an Asian face, fair skin, and elegant appearance. And it is impossible to have a completely new face on the island. As long as you see someone who matches this characteristic, it can only be Cheng Yu.
.
But this person, after seeing Cheng Yu's appearance clearly, asked him who he was.
"I am Ms. Cindy's assistant..."
"Cindy? You mean Miss Cindy? Has she come to the island? She hasn't been here for a long time!"
"I arrived yesterday afternoon. I came with her, didn't you know?"
The other party held a gun in his hand, but he didn't appear too alert. Holding a gun was just a habit of his.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he said: "Yesterday afternoon, that yacht changed its flag when it arrived near here, right?"
Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
"It's so early in the morning, why are you here wandering around if you don't want to sleep?" The other party put down his gun and seemed to recognize Cheng Yu's identity, "Damn it, I've been guarding here for two days. I was originally here last night.
Someone should come to change the shift, but no one came. Do you know what happened?"
Cheng Yu was stunned and thought to himself that this guy was really unlucky. It was probably because someone "suicided" last night, which made everyone nervous, and in the end they forgot about changing shifts.
However, don’t they have an intercom device to communicate with each other?
Cheng Yu scratched his head and said, "Mr. Bill arrived last night..."
"Well, I know that Mr. Bill arrived so late and couldn't possibly invite everyone to a drink. I don't understand why no one came to change the shift. If the boss hadn't told me to be more careful these days, even Mr. Bill would have
If something happened, I would have gone back long ago."
Cheng Yu added: "Before Mr. Bill came, a man named Feyenoord committed suicide in front of a man named Andre..."
"What? Feyenoord committed suicide? What happened?"
"I don't know the details. Ms. Cindy and I heard gunshots and came out to see what happened. We happened to encounter someone coming down from the top of the mountain and said that Feyenoord had swallowed a gun in Andre's office.
He committed suicide, and Andre said that he had always been weird and suspicious before. Then, we learned that Mr. Bill had arrived, so we went down the mountain together to greet Mr. Bill. Therefore, we also know what happened at the top of the mountain.
Not particularly clear."
The man scratched his head and said: "What the hell, this is nonsense. I feel like committing suicide when I stay in this wretched place! That guy from Feyenoord is usually a bit nervous, but committing suicide? I really don't understand."
What did he think? By the way, you haven’t said yet why are you here without sleeping so early in the morning?”
Cheng Yu hurriedly explained: "I can't sleep? I haven't gotten over the jet lag yet. I woke up early, and then when it was dawn, I ran out without thinking too much. As I walked, I noticed that there was a fork in the road here.
I didn’t know where it led, so I just walked around casually. At first, I thought it was because the weather was bad, so there was no sun. Who knew that when I got here, I saw that the sun hadn’t come out yet. The jet lag made me dizzy.
I can’t tell what time it is…”
The other party looked at Cheng Yu with some suspicion, but there was not much suspicion at all. After all, the people who came with Cindy should not have any trouble. Moreover, he had met Lawrence Bill last night, so he should not be too suspicious.
What's the problem?
When Cheng Yu saw that the other party was silent, he added: "Isn't this a restricted area? If so, I'll leave right now."
"It's not a restricted area, but it's not a place where you can come casually. If you come, just come. It doesn't matter anyway. Is that wine you're holding in your hand?"
Cheng Yu hurriedly walked over, handed the bottle to the man, and said with a smile: "I just like to drink. I took it back to the room and drank it before falling asleep. Today I woke up and the bottle was still there.
I had it in my hand, so I didn’t think much about it, just carried it and went out.”
The man unscrewed the wine bottle, took a big gulp, burped, and said with a very satisfied expression: "Well... I finally came to my senses. Come on, let's sit down and chat. Thank you
Come, otherwise I will suffocate to death here alone."
Cheng Yu sat down as he was told and asked hypocritically: "You were supposed to change shifts last night, but no one came. Why didn't you ask?"
"Who should I ask? Before dinner, the other two people left. Normally I should have stayed until about ten o'clock in the evening, then someone should come to take over. Who knew no one would come."
"Isn't there an intercom?"
"The intercom equipment doesn't work here. It works on the other side of the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, all the signals are blocked. It's not like you don't know what's going on in the experimental building on the top of the mountain. Once the signal is blocked, then
It's just indiscriminate shielding, and it won't even work here. If I want to use the walkie-talkie to contact the other side of the mountain, I have to jump down..." The man took another sip of wine and pointed to the surging sea water below.
Cheng Yu chuckled, trying his best to look harmless, pointing at the three mortars and saying, "Are those mortars?"
The man nodded and said, "It's useless, it's just a window dressing thing."
"It looks pretty awesome to me. Does this caliber have to be 80?"
"It's not that big. This is the smallest mortar, with a caliber of only 43 millimeters. I don't know how many years it has been used. The last time it was used was seven or eight years ago. At that time, I and you
He said, we just arrived on this island. You know that this island was occupied by us, right? Then the government of Falklands sent some people over to try to drive us away. However, we used this thing to fight them back.
.”
"Have you ever fought against government troops? On a small island like this, isn't that asking for death?"
"Of course, it was Mr. Bill who went to negotiate with the government later, and someone also gave money, so the corrupt Falklands government stopped pursuing the case.
It's been seven or eight years now, and the neighborhood is calm, so this thing has always stayed here.
I almost doubt whether it will fire if I throw the cannonball in now. Even if it fires, the cannonball has been exposed to wind and rain for so long, and it is on the sea. Who knows whether it will explode.
Anyway, this thing is just a facade now. If something happens, we have to rely on this guy in our hands..."
As he spoke, he patted the AK47 slung across his chest.
The caliber is forty-three, and it has not been used for a long time. Cheng Yu finally got the general information.
However, to be on the safe side, Cheng Yu still wanted to waste a few points to check it out personally to see if these mortars were still useful.
"How many mortars are there in total on our island?"
"That's not all. This is the one that has been kept here. The others are in the basement of the experimental building on the top of the mountain. I guess these three are of no use, but the ones on the top of the mountain must be very well maintained. They are definitely
Just take it out and use it in battle."
Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this. The man drank another sip of wine, and then said a little warily: "Why are you asking about this?"
"Have I never seen a mortar before? I'm curious, and I didn't ask anything. I'm just asking this. The rest is all your own."
The man thought for a while, and it seemed to be about the same. He smiled and said, "You can just listen to this. Anyway, the people brought by Miss Cindy should not have any problems. But you must not say this."
Tell others, otherwise I will be implicated."
"Don't worry." Cheng Yu said with a smile, "Can I see those cannons?"
