Chapter 47 Earn him 1 million, and it has to be in US dollars.
Bottom Fire, Cowboy, and the other old wolves howled with joy upon hearing about the money, and began plotting how to spend it when they got back.
Some say they want to buy the luxury car they've got their eye on, others say they want to find some beautiful women and have a good time...
"You made half a million dollars so easily, and in US dollars no less?"
Only Chen Jun and Xing Tian were somewhat bewildered, feeling it was still a bit unreal. Xing Tian even went to ask the captain, "Do we both have 500,000?"
"Of course, you participated in this operation as well, so naturally you have a part in it," the captain replied affirmatively.
"Holy crap, 500,000 is over 4 million RMB! That's too easy money. No wonder so many people want to be mercenaries."
Chen Jun was excited, amazed, and also relieved that he was so lucky.
He stumbled upon a fortune by sheer chance.
"Captain, we earn seven million for just one mission. Will we be able to earn this much for every mission from now on?" Xing Tian was very excited, as this was the first time in his life he had such a huge sum of money.
"Funan is just a small country, and a poor one at that. It doesn't have much money, and this mission was very simple, so we only earned this little. If we were working in Dongwu, we would be earning at least tens of millions of US dollars," the captain said with a smile.
"Did we still earn the least this time?" Xing Tian felt like his worldview was about to be turned upside down.
"No wonder they only killed one guy surnamed Yang, and Butcher and Buck still made us pay back 25 million in debt." Xing Tian suddenly realized.
They were initially worried that the amount of money owed was too much, believing that the butcher and Big Buck were extorting them. Now they understand that it really was worth that much money.
"The reason he's worth so much money is because Yang's identity is very special. He's not only a big D tyrant, but also the eastern leader of the Dongwu Anti-Government Alliance, and at the same time, Asia's largest military intelligence broker. Many of our businesses were facilitated by him."
The captain looked very serious, not like he was bragging, and there was indeed regret in his eyes.
But I have no regrets!
"Uh, so you're saying that if I kill him, you'll lose your contact person here and won't be able to take on business, which will cause you a lot of losses?"
Chen Jun's tone was full of apology; he knew very well that this was a serious matter of cutting off someone's source of income.
Xing Tian frowned, a deep unease in his eyes.
The captain's words made Xing Tian realize the danger. Since the Yang they killed had such a high position in Dongwu, it meant that Xing Tian was being watched closely.
Xing Tian was certain that as long as he appeared in the country, something bad would inevitably happen.
There's a high probability that the parents will be implicated.
Filial piety is the most deeply rooted tradition of the Chinese people. Xing Tian would rather die outside than let his parents be in any danger.
After figuring out the pros and cons, Xing Tian looked up at the sky and sighed.
He knew...
He can never go back!
The captain was chatting with Chen Jun and didn't notice Xing Tian's emotional changes. In response to Chen Jun's question, he said, "Actually, it's not very serious. It's just a loss of some money."
Now that the Red Army is gone and Funan is at peace, Hongpang has nothing to do, except for D Xiao in Dongwu, where there is business to be done.
I don't know anyone there. Even if Yang were alive, I wouldn't need him to connect me with people anymore. So, Yang's absence won't have much of an impact on us.
Chen Jun knew that the captain was trying to comfort him, and silently accepted his kindness.
We didn't continue discussing this topic.
He changed the subject of his curiosity and asked, "You guys can earn so much money at once, and you've been doing this for so long, you must all be millionaires."
Since you're already so wealthy, why continue doing such dangerous work in this industry? Why not find a stable place to enjoy your retirement?
Retirement is one of the biggest concerns in China. People raise children for the sake of their old age, earn money for the sake of their old age, and get married so that they can have a companion in their old age.
In short, 80-90% of life revolves around retirement.
Even Chen Jun, who has already lived twice, is willing to join the mercenary army to make big money. On the one hand, it is to make his life more exciting, and on the other hand, it is also to save money so that he can have enough capital for retirement.
That's why he was curious about why the wolf pack mercenaries, who were already so rich, were still doing this.
The Butcher and Big Buck can earn 25 million in a single mission, so Chen Jun has good reason to conclude that the wolf pack is full of billionaires.
"Hahaha."
The wolf pack, including the captain, laughed when they heard Chen Jun's words.
Chen Jun's words seem rather naive.
Then the butcher stepped forward as a representative, brandished his gun, and said, "This line of work lets you handle guns, bombs, and kill people, without worrying about getting arrested and going to jail. It's such an attractive job, why would I leave it?"
After saying that, the butcher drew his military knife, stuck out his tongue and licked the blade, looking both fierce and evil.
"All right."
Chen Jun shrugged, spread his hands, and said, "My idea is different from yours. My goal is to earn 100 million yuan, then find a good place to retire and enjoy a comfortable second half of my life. I don't want to live in fear every day."
"Brother Jun, count me in! Let's buy an island overseas together, fish, grow vegetables, and live a peaceful life," Xing Tian immediately expressed his support.
Realizing that he could not go back, Xing Tian had to find a way out for his future.
Buying an island overseas for retirement is a great idea.
"Retirement? Shouldn't we be focusing on the present? Who the hell cares about what happens when we're old? These two kids are incomprehensible."
The butcher curled his lip in disdain and strode toward his tent.
After several days of continuous fighting in the primeval jungle, everyone was sticky and couldn't stand it anymore. After saying goodbye, they all went their separate ways.
Chen Jun and Xing Tian returned to their previous tent and couldn't wait to take off their combat uniforms.
It was deliberately left outside the tent.
The clothes, stained with blood, sweat, and human tissue, had become so pungent over the past few days that they smelled like a biological weapon.
Then I quickly ran to take a hot shower and lay down in a comfortable bed.
As the last trace of vigilance dissipated and their bodies fully entered a state of recovery, the fatigue of the past few days swept over them, and the two fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept.
Suddenly, a cold sensation came over his neck, jolting Chen Jun awake. But because of the coldness on his neck, he dared not make any sudden movements.
Xing Tian, on the other side, was in the same situation, with a sharp dagger held to his neck.
"If I were the enemy, you two would be dead. Never think you're safe. Even when you're sleeping, you should keep one eye open."
The butcher's cold, hoarse voice made Chen Jun and Xing Tian gasp for breath.
Then came a string of curses.
"Damn it, I almost thought I was really going to die."
"You bastard, do you have nothing better to do?"
