Everyone present subconsciously sat up straight.
Next was the highlight of the meeting.
“Little Qiu, tell everyone the details.”
Qiu Yuluo nodded and said to the people present,
“Just now, Boss said that during the mission, Team 2 and Team 3 were severely injured. The reason is that their whereabouts were leaked, nearly costing us everyone’s lives. Therefore, the mission this time is revenge!’
As she spoke, Qiu Yuluo picked up the remote control and controlled the PowerPoint presentation on the big screen.
Lin Yi looked up and saw a foreign man in his fifties on the screen.
He was plump and had a cigar in his hand, just like Marlon Brando in The G.o.dfather.
Then, below the photo, three more people appeared. Two men and a woman.
One of the men was shirtless, but covered in tattoos. He looked like a monster.
The other one was wearing a suit and tie. He looked a little handsome.
The remaining woman was wearing a red dress. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was s.e.xy and charming, like a Medusa that could seduce souls.
However, in the eyes of an experienced person like Lin Yi, he could tell that a woman like her probably know more positions than he did.
If there was a chance, they could spar.
“The name of the man with the cigar is Jeffrey. He owns Black Gold Corporation in Meiguo. His business is focused on selling intelligence on Tilia Island. The three people below, from left to right, are his three profiteers. Their names are Jimmy, Paul, and Alyssa.”
“Among them, Paul and Alyssa both have their own private teams and are active on Tilia Island all year round. They are very strong themselves. In addition to selling information, they also have a series of businesses such as smuggling. Based on rough calculations, more than half of the Bath ore that flows into the United States comes from them.”
Qiu Yuluo controlled the remote control, and the photo of the first man who had an exposed upper body was enlarged.
“He’s the intelligence officer of the entire Black Gold Company, and he was the one who sold our information.’
After saying that, Qiu Yuluo’s expression froze. “So the target of this operation is him!”
At this moment, w.a.n.g Bingyu stood up and distributed the doc.u.ments in her hand to everyone present.
“This is his relevant information. We’ve received news that the Quantum Cruise will sail out to sea tomorrow night. Jimmy will appear on the ship and trade with an unknown target. Our mission is to stop him midway and obtain the ores that he is carrying.”
After w.a.n.g Bingyu finished speaking, Qiu Yuluo continued.
“Team Leader Ning and I will lead the team to complete this mission. At the same time, this is also a trial mission for you before you officially come into contact with Tillia Island. I hope everyone can perform well.” “Yes!’ everyone replied in unison.
However, Lin Yi sat on the chair silently and did not respond.
He was concerned about the situation on Tillia Island and was not interested in other missions.
However, the mission had already been given, so he had no choice but to accept
it.
However, there was something suspicious that Lin Yi couldn’t figure out, and Qiu Yuluo didn’t explain it clearly.
With the tight security of the Central Guards Brigade, how could news of their operations ever be leaked?
This place was too suspicious.
“Little Qiu, Little Ning, I’ll leave the rest of the mission to the two of you. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave first,” Liu Hong said.
“Leave it to us,” Qiu Yuluo said seriously.
After Liu Hong left, the atmosphere in the meeting room lightened a little. Zhang Hui said,
“Team Leader, when are we going to take action?”
“We will be sailing on Meiguon time, starting at 6 p.m. Our mission is to reach the port of Maymi before 6 p.m. and board the ship.” Qiu Yuluo looked at everyone and said.
“Remember, you have to listen to Zhi Thi’s instructions and not act on your
‘Yes!’
Seeing that everyone was ready, Qiu Yuluo gave Tao Cheng a look. Tao Cheng understood and gave each newcomer an An paper and a pen. Everyone was confused and did not know what they were doing.
“Because the mission has a certain degree of danger, everyone has to write their will before the operation begins, because it’s very likely that you won’t be able to return.”
“Huh…”
The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly turned cold.
Other than Lin Yi and the old team members, everyone’s expressions were very ugly.
They knew that after joining the Central Guards Brigade, they would carry out some dangerous missions, but they did not expect to be asked to write a will.
Subconsciously, everyone recalled the loss suffered by Team 2 and 3.
Originally, there were only 30 people in the two teams, but nearly half of them had died in one mission.
Even the original team leader did not survive. Therefore, this will was not just for show. In addition, they were all new members. Be it in terms of experience or strength, he was much weaker.
If they really encountered danger, they would very likely face death.
Hiss…
Everyone present shuddered.
Even a slight injury or disability was something they could not accept.
“Team Leader, we’re all newbies and have no experience at all. Are you sure we have to partic.i.p.ate in such a dangerous mission right from the start?”
“This has always been the tradition of the Central Guards Brigade. Our members are all nurtured in such battles.” Qiu Yuluo said.
“This is not a place where people live in luxury. People really die here.”
“Apart from what Team Leader Qiu said, there’s another statistic that I want to share with everyone.” Ning Che said.
“The death rate in the median brigade exceeds 400/0 of the total annually. I believe everyone knows what this number represents, and it’s why it’s necessary to write the will before the mission.”
“And don’t include any unnecessary dramas. We don’t have time for these psychological testing segments, so we have to write this will well. It might be useful after the mission.”
Ning Che’s words extinguished the last bit of hope in everyone’s hearts. Although meritorious service was important, in the face of death, everyone was afraid.
Whoosh..
Lin Yi took a deep breath and felt that the situation in front of him was right.
Based on the previous scenes, everyone treated the Central Guards Brigade as a promotion channel.
They felt that once they joined this place, they would definitely have a promising future. Their families would also enjoy a bright future over the next 20 years.
However, compared to their own lives, such benefits were useless. Therefore, some of the people present had already started to back down.
“Team Leader, I want to ask you something,” Guo Qingkun said.
Qiu Yuluo nodded. “If you have anything to ask, just say it.”
“Is it too late to withdraw now?”
