Going through the motions

  The Undead Walking Meat (Fourth Update, Seeking Collection)

  In the 19th century, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rose up and launched a peasant uprising that shocked the world, anti-Qing and killing foreigners.

  Years later, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom collapsed due to various reasons, and the total number of casualties during this period was more than the sum of the casualties in World War II, making it the civil war with the most casualties in world history!

  The remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who had nowhere to hide, mostly fled abroad. However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and these remnants gradually evolved into a global marginal black force. Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originated from an organization called the Triad Society, foreigners referred to it as: Triad!

  The Triad hired soldiers were originally a branch of the Triad: the Qing Tang, responsible for cleaning up and assassinating enemies of the Triad. They had strong combat power. After the Triad was destroyed, foreigners continued to use this name to refer to black societies organized by Chinese people.

  The Ming Qing Tang, which was fortunately preserved, rose again during World War II and became one of the most powerful mercenary groups in the world. Due to its mercenaries being mostly Chinese or Asian, it is also known as: San He Mercenary Association!

  ……

  "Ladies and gentlemen, passengers, the train is arriving at the station, please take your luggage and prepare to disembark!"

  The broadcast sounded a prompt tone, Wang Hu stood up with an expressionless face and said: "A thousand miles to send you off, we must say goodbye!"

  "Aren't you leaving with me?" Tang Ao frowned and said: "The Second Department of the General Staff will come to investigate you."

  "What can they do to me, a disabled person? Life imprisonment? I'd actually like that, at least then I wouldn't have to humble myself for food!" Wang Hu said with some self-mockery.

  Wang Huo got off the train, and the train continued to drive towards the next station. Tang Ao took out the envelope given by Fei Shu and opened it, inside there was only a note with an address written on it: Yunnan!

  Yunnan border town, a small stall on the side of the road, two men and one woman were devouring rice noodles, it was Tang Ao, Kang Xiaolong and Zou Wu.

  "Is authentic over-the-bridge rice noodles delicious?"

  Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind. Tang Ao turned his head abruptly and saw a stout middle-aged man wearing a multi-pocketed director's uniform standing behind him - it was Fei Shu!

  Tang Ao's eyes narrowed, his voice cold and menacing: "You've ruined my family and left me to be discarded by the country. How dare you appear before me? Don't you know that I want to kill you at any moment?"

  "I am your contact!"

  Fei Shu's face was stiff as he sat beside Tang Ao and said, "The Three Alliance Mercenaries will specifically ask me to be your liaison!"

  "Is the Triad involved? Did they kidnap my son?" Tang Ao asked coldly, his face looking somewhat unpleasant.

  Fat Uncle saw that Tang Ao might have some understanding of this mercenary group, and immediately asked: "Do you know about the Three Harmony Mercenaries?"

  Tang Ao nodded stiffly, "I know, one of the largest mercenary groups in Europe and also one of the largest in the world, tied with 'X Mercenary Group' for first place in the global mercenary rankings. Most of their mercenaries are Asian, but they rarely set foot domestically!"

  "It's rare for them to set foot in the country, but I've already told you, they're here to ask for your help in finding a meteorite called 'The Hand of God'. All the intelligence agencies around the world know that only you have seen 'The Hand of God' in Africa. Even if the Three Union Mercenaries didn't look for you, other forces would eventually find you!" Fei Shu's words seemed to have a hint of excusing the Three Union Mercenaries.

  During World War II, the Axis powers of Germany, which had collapsed on the front lines, sought supernatural forces to turn the tide of battle. A meteorite called "The Hand of God" was discovered by Germany, and the energy contained within it could be converted into a small piece that could destroy a medium-sized city or supply electricity for a year, earning its reputation as a truly divine artifact. In recent years, this meteorite has reappeared on the black market, immediately sparking a scramble among various forces to seize control of it!

  Fat Uncle continued: "The Three Alliance mercenaries will get the news, there is a guy called Colonel, who sold a fist-sized Hand of God on the black market several months ago for a high price of 20 million francs!"

  "Two billion francs!"

  "Two billion francs!"

  Zou Wu and Kang Xiaolong, who were standing beside him, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at Fat Uncle's account.

  Uncle Fat nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, 20 million francs, but nobody knows who the guy with the codename 'Colonel' sold the Hand of God to!"

  "I fought side by side with this 'Colonel' in the African jungle, he was a mercenary leader, cunning and extremely afraid of death. At that time, I thought he had gone crazy searching for the Hand of God, but unexpectedly he actually found it!" In Tang Ao's mind, an image of a mysterious and aged Chinese-American appeared.

  Fei Shu formally handed a suitcase to Tang Ao and solemnly said: "We have learned that he is hiding in the capital of R country, San He Long Tou ordered you to find him before other mercenaries and ask who the Hand of God was sold to?"

  "When Tang Ao heard the word 'command', a fierce flame of anger burst forth in his eyes: 'No one can command me except my country!'"

  "But they have your son's life in their hands, you can't help but obey him!" Fat Uncle loudly reminded Tang Ao of his current situation being at the mercy of others.

  "Boom!"

  Tang Ao slammed a dagger onto the table, his face filled with rage, but he didn't say another word.

  "Alright, I've prepared everything you need to find the principal. This suitcase contains currencies from various countries, totaling 500,000 RMB, which will be your reward for this mission! As for weapons and intelligence, I'll provide them for you. If you need anything in the future, just contact me through the information in the suitcase, and I'll deliver whatever you need as soon as possible. No problem? Then I'll take my leave!"

  "Wait a minute, I'm doing things for them. When will they let go of Little Dragon? And what about Little Dragon's illness?" This is the thing that Tang Ao cares most about.

  Uncle Fei said solemnly, "Don't worry, the Triad has specially arranged for the best European medical team to treat your son. You may feel embarrassed that your son was taken away, but I think it's better for him to receive treatment from the Triad than to be by your side and not get good medical care. They said that as long as you find the meteorite, they will definitely return a healthy son to you!"

  "When can I see Xiaolong then!" Tang Ao asked again.

  In a situation where it was unclear whether his son was alive or dead, Tang Ao would not act rashly.

  "Dragon Head said, after half a year, I can let you go to headquarters to see your son!"

  "Why is it half a year?" asked Kang Xiaolong beside him.

  "Because the Three Harmony mercenaries will distrust me and fear that I'll betray them!" Tang Ao answered Kang Xiaolong's question with a gloomy expression on behalf of Fei.

  Fei Shu got on a motorcycle and left under the gaze of three people. Tang Ao, who had no appetite for food, said to Kang Xiaolong and Zou Wu: "I was wanted by the Second Department of the General Staff and can only leave the country. There is no banquet that does not disperse, I think today we will have to part ways..."

  "What are you talking about?" Kang Xiaolong interrupted Tang Ao's words with a cold face, saying: "Can I just watch and do nothing when you're in trouble now?"

  "But you!?"

  Tang Ao wanted to say something, but Kang Xiaolong interrupted him again, saying decisively: "There's no need for any 'buts', we've been through so many years together, fought together, gotten hurt together, slept together..."!

  "I didn't sleep with you, I don't have that kind of hobby!" Tang Ao quickly took over the conversation to defend himself.

  "Haha!"

  The tacit understanding of the two singing in harmony made Zou Wu laugh out loud, and her 2.5 catties (a unit of weight) on her chest shook back and forth, it was a breathtaking sight, making Kang Xiaolong's eyes almost pop out.

  Tang Ao opened the suitcase given by Fei Shu, took out a few bundles of cash and handed them to Zou Wu, saying: "Wu Mei, this money is considered as my repayment for your kindness."

  Zou Wu's face changed, and she said angrily: "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Using money to humiliate me?"

  Tang Ao smiled wryly and put the money back in his suitcase, then said solemnly: "I'm going to R country, I don't know when we'll meet again after this trip, it's really a bit...!"

  "Stop, stop, are you trying to drive me away? This little white face can help you, why can't I?! Zou Wu's face was full of discontent. "After doing so many years of killing and arson, do you know how I lived after retiring from the army? Four words: a walking corpse. Every day, I'm exhausted from running around for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, almost going crazy. Since being a mercenary can make so much money, I've decided to follow you. Once I've earned enough, I'll consider other options."

  "Have you ever really thought about that kind of life where you're licking the blade and tasting blood?" Tang Ao's phoenix eyes stared tightly at Zou Wu's eyes.

  Zou Wu's eyes were firm, just like her words: "If you think I'm a hindrance, I'll leave now. If not, then you'd better accept me, because I will become your strongest arm, at least stronger than that little pretty face beside you!"

  Tang Ao's heart was moved, because the road ahead was dark and uncertain, and battles would inevitably be frequent. Zou Wu's marksmanship, which was considered top-notch even in the first battalion, was undoubtedly what he needed most right now.

  "If you don't speak up, I'll take it as your consent."

  ……

  Mercenary base, in the vast military base, soldiers come and go, their skin color is different, but they have the same quality, fierce and bloody!

  A helicopter landed on the helipad, and a nearly two-meter-tall muscular Asian man jumped out of the armed helicopter. The man was expressionless, but his eyes had an arrogant color that looked down on everything.

  An armed helicopter had been waiting below for some time. A European man, holding a photograph, walked up to the Asian man and asked, "Are you Lei Feng?"

  The Asian man nodded indifferently, this was none other than Lei Feng, who had escaped from the military camp and been accused of treason!

  A European man pointed at one of the people in the photo and asked: "Is this you?"

  Lei Ting nodded again, treasuring every word like gold. In this photo, there were three figures rapidly running in the jungle, but if one looked closely, they could still make out the appearances of the three people. One was Lei Ting, and the other two were Tang Ao and Kang Xiaolong.

  "Then you must have seen..."
