Chapter 46 Awesome! My First Pot of Gold
The butcher's perverse sense of humor was not something everyone could tolerate, not even the captain could stop him, so everyone chose to avoid seeing him and not wanting to be bothered.
While the butcher tortured the prisoners in the house, everyone else began to do the cleanup work after the war.
When Xingtian and Kuaimanji arrived to assemble, they saw only severed limbs everywhere, and the screams of the butchers torturing prisoners echoed through the camp like vengeful spirits.
Similar to Chen Jun's reaction, Xing Tian's growth was also clearly visible.
Xing Tian no longer felt nauseous as before. He was puzzled as to why the change was so quick. Lost in thought, he stared blankly at the rainy night.
"What are you thinking about, Xingtian?"
The captain noticed Chen Jun's unusual behavior, walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked him what was wrong.
"Thinking about what's happened these past few days..."
Xing Tian sighed and said, "Ah, it feels like I've had a very long dream."
I encountered robbers and killed someone for the first time. Then I encountered a butcher and almost got strangled to death by him. After that, I was captured and wandered around in the mountains. Then I saw you, and followed you here to fight. I killed so many people.
What happened in just over a month was more dramatic and bizarre than anything in a movie.
Xing Tian only gave a brief overview of what happened, without explaining the changes in his mindset.
From initially experiencing a racing heart and flushed face when killing someone, and feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit at the sight of a corpse, to now feeling no emotion at the sight of minced meat scattered on the ground.
How can one become so indifferent to life, and how can one's mindset be so drastically altered?
This is Xingtian's biggest inner conflict!
"Don't dwell on what's already happened. Just ask yourself, are you still afraid of us?" The captain looked at Xing Tian with a calm gaze.
The calm and peaceful look in his eyes calmed Xing Tian's heart.
"Am I afraid of you? I can't say for sure. I only know that in the past few days, I feel that I have changed, changed a lot. Rather than being afraid of you, I am more afraid of myself, of whether I can survive on the battlefield."
Xing Tian clenched his fists tightly, the bulging veins revealing his inner turmoil.
He really didn't want to die!
"Do you know why we're called the Wolf Pack? A single wolf can't do anything, but a pack of wolves can tear everything apart. Mercenaries are wolves on the battlefield. Only by uniting as one can we survive on the battlefield. As long as we're united, nothing can defeat us."
The captain held Xing Tian's shoulder tightly with his right hand, his voice rising several octaves uncontrollably.
Those around heard the captain's words, and the deep-seated sense of identification and camaraderie with his comrades drew them in.
First, the cowboy extended his right fist, and then the speed machine pressed the fist against the cowboy's fist.
Then comes the Big Bear, the Primer, the Demon, the Doctor, the Butcher, the Vanguard, the Captain...
The veterans of the wolf pack all raised their fists, bumping them together in the middle to form a firm force, and finally all eyes turned to the two new recruits.
This demonstrates trust in Chen Jun and Xing Tian, signifying recognition of their abilities.
They were formally invited.
Chen Jun and Xing Tian could feel the intense emotion, like a strong 90-proof liquor. Driven by their strong emotions, they didn't hesitate to raise their fists.
The fourteen fists collided perfectly, leaving not a single gap.
The captain smiled!
All the team members laughed!
"Welcome to the Wolf Pack Mercenaries."
The team leader, representing the Chinese, formally extended the invitation, concluding with a loud shout: "Wolf Pack!"
"Hoo-ah, hoo-ah."
More than ten people shouted at the top of their lungs.
The wolfish howls burned away the unease that had settled deep within Chen Jun and Xing Tian's hearts, like a fire.
The intense friendship from teammates transformed into a powerful blow, shattering all loneliness.
The heat from the wolf pack's teammates' punches transformed into the strongest spiritual force, flowing into the hearts of Chen Jun and Xing Tian, unlocking a new source of power for them.
This power is called—
team!!
……
The wolf pack had a hard time getting here, trekking for almost two days through mountains and rivers, but the return trip was much easier, as Nighthawks came to pick them up in helicopters.
Compared to the fear and anxiety they felt on their first helicopter ride, Chen Jun and Xing Tian were now able to joke and laugh with everyone on this trip.
That was a feeling of joy and relaxation that came from the bottom of my heart!
The Black Hawk helicopter landed at the camp before entering the mountains, which was the Funan government army camp where Chen Jun and Xing Tian had been staying for half a month of special training.
Even before the helicopter landed, you could see many people waiting on the ground from the sky.
Once the helicopter landed and the cabin door opened, the captain, along with Chen Jun and a group of more than a dozen people, disembarked one after another. A man wearing glasses, who was waiting in the group, led his team to come up quickly.
Grasping the captain's hands, he said excitedly, "Thank you, Colonel, you've been a great help to us."
This group of people has been hiding in the mountains, causing us extremely negative impacts. We have sent several groups of people, but we have been unable to eliminate them.
"You wolf pack are really something, wiping them out in just a few days. Now I can go to the election with peace of mind."
At first, Chen Jun couldn't figure out the man's identity, but after hearing what he said, he basically understood. It turned out that the man was of such high status that he was a presidential candidate who could participate in the election.
His willingness to hire foreign mercenaries and interfere in his own country's internal conflicts is enough to show that he is a hardliner.
He is definitely a tough guy.
The captain was very enthusiastic about this person who might actually become the president of Funan in a few months and bring in big business.
He said politely, "You're welcome. Since we are mercenaries, we will do our best to complete your mission once you have paid us."
If you ever need anything from us again, feel free to contact our wolf pack.
The captain subtly left a clue, and the bespectacled man also gave him face by saying, "The remaining balance has been transferred to your designated account."
If I ever have the opportunity to become president, I would like you to provide tactical guidance to our soldiers.
The pie was drawn to be big and round, looked delicious, and required no effort from the man himself—a win-win situation that proves the bespectacled man has high emotional intelligence.
"That would be our honor, and we'd be ready anytime," the captain readily accepted.
"I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Funan's doors are always open to you." The bespectacled man was decisive and efficient; he turned and left with his men as soon as he finished speaking.
After the bespectacled man walked away, the captain turned to the group and announced, "The mission is a complete success, and the commission has been received. Everyone can rest here for two days, and then each of you will be able to take home half a million US dollars."
However, you'd better watch out, the money might be too heavy and make you fall off the plane, haha.
The captain is a calm and composed person who rarely jokes, which is enough to prove that he is in a very good mood.
