Zhang Xiaoman assigned a total of three tasks to the Danlan Department. In addition to a long-term intelligence-gathering task, the remaining two were timely tasks that could be completed relatively quickly.
However, compared to recruiting base builders, finding the venom of the black mamba snake is relatively difficult.
This kind of snake is not an endangered species. Because of its own abilities and few natural enemies, its population in Africa has tended to be stable.
The troublesome thing about finding this kind of snake is that there is no market for this kind of snake in China. Although it can be purchased abroad through certain channels, the number is bound to not be too large because there is no value in large-scale breeding.
Of course, you can definitely find a small breeding facility, but this is not cost-effective because the price of snake venom itself is very expensive.
It can be said that the price of the same amount of snake venom can be even better than the top and most expensive perfumes on the market. If you buy it in large quantities, it is not only very difficult to find, but even if you find it, the quantity may not be enough, and the price will be one Sky-high prices.
Therefore, based on all the above considerations, the method that Xiao Shun and others thought of was to go directly to the place of origin to search. Fortunately, Mr. Bei had a way to obtain a large amount of snake venom, otherwise it would be a lot more troublesome.
At this moment, about 5 days have passed since the mission was dispatched.
In an unknown small village located in the north of Gangguo Country, east of the Uele River, a group of people from the Light Blue Department were sitting in a very simple small house eating breakfast.
What they ate was a local specialty delicacy, called "wooden soup" according to Bei Ye's translation. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a paste made by grinding and boiling cassava.
"ukael Masatolgongkkoyopasa Anglpi, omonngotoukésntoeekozemsilimbidaTo."
Beside the room, a black woman wearing a white high cloth hat said to everyone.
She is wearing a traditional ethnic costume from the Gangguobu area. She is the owner of this house, and everyone is staying here this time.
She was speaking a language from the north of the country called Lingala. Many words in this language came from French. However, the variations were so strong that even Xun You, who was proficient in French, could not understand it. .
But this is not a problem. After all, in this small team of the Light Blue Department, there is a person like Mr. Bei who travels all over the country. Although he is not proficient, he can still use the local language for some simple communication.
"What she just said is that these are the first batch of ripe cassava, which are usually used to entertain distinguished guests."
Mr. Bei played the role of translator very well. Although it may be a little inaccurate, the general meaning can be expressed.
"￥......#￥%@!@#"
Mr. Bei said something to the man, and the other man replied a few words, and then left with a smile.
"I asked her to help us check if Wes has arrived. Today is the time we agreed on. If this guy arrives, he will definitely go to the only restaurant here to drink first, but the boss there is not very welcoming to outsiders. , of course, with the exception of Wes, who once saved the boss’s son from a lion.”
The other three people nodded after hearing this. The Weiss that Mr. Bei mentioned was one of their goals this time.
Wes's full name is Wes Kaman. He is a bounty hunter. He was born in Texas, USA. When he was young, he followed an elder in his family to take on tasks. He was active in the Middle East, Africa and other regions all year round. .
He and Mr. Bei met during a common wilderness expedition. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they had contacted each other several times, so they had experience in cooperation.
Bounty hunters and mercenaries are different. The biggest difference they see is that mercenaries usually work for whoever pays the most, but bounty hunters will not participate in such illegal activities. Although they will Gang leaders fight wars with their employers, but they will always stand on the side of the local government.
Therefore, the most common task for their team is to help official forces to eliminate gangsters and drug lords.
Occasionally, people and things like the one Mr. Bei asked him to do today would be picked up, but usually such easy jobs were almost impossible to come across.
The woman went to find Weiss now, leaving Mr. Bei and others still enjoying breakfast at the table.
Hu Peng ate a large bowl of cassava in three gulps, then looked at the big pot not far away, stood up and prepared to fill more, and said with unfinished meaning:
"I didn't expect that the cassava here would be so delicious. It's really beyond my expectation. I originally thought that the food here would be the type that is hard to swallow. Today, I was surprised. No, no, I I still have to pretend a little bit."
At this time, Mr. Bei put down the bowl and stopped him and said: "Hu, it's better for us to eat less. We still have a long journey to go today. Too much is not good, and..."
As he spoke, he looked at the contents of the bowl again, as if thinking of some bad memory, and said:
"Furthermore, the local cassava contains a lot of hydrocyanic acid and other substances. Even if it is peeled and cooked, it is difficult to avoid trace amounts of toxicity. If you eat too much at one time, your body will not get used to it, and it will become You vomited and pooped.”
When Hu Peng heard what he said, he immediately stopped and stopped thinking about having another bowl. Even Xiao Shun and Xun You who were still eating on the side couldn't help but stop their movements.
Mr. Bei looked at them and said, "You two don't have to worry. This portion won't make you feel upset. Don't lose energy later if you don't feel full."
In this way, several people continued to enjoy today's breakfast, but Hu Peng on the side could only look at them helplessly because he ate too fast.
Just after everyone finished eating the cassava paste in their hands, the black woman who had gone to find someone came back, and a white man was following behind her.
This white man is about 1.8 meters tall and wears a short-sleeved vest. His figure is not strong, but against the tight clothing, you can see his explosive muscle lines, which makes him look very strong. Capable.
Obviously, this person should be Wes Kaman.
ten minutes later.
"Hahaha, Bell, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you are still the same as before. You are the only one who can bargain so hard in front of me. Okay, 10,000 meters, who said this mission is so easy? , I just thought it was a vacation."
said a bounty hunter named Wes.
"But you know my rules. Pay half of the deposit first, and the remaining half will be transferred to my account after the task is completed."
Mr. Bei looked around and asked, "Wes, are you here alone this time? Where is your team?"
