Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 24 Supplies
If you want to contact Luca, you have to stay in a hotel.

Gao Yi has been sleeping in the restaurant he opened for two days. Apart from the extremely hot weather and the mosquitoes that could bite people to death, the biggest problem is that there is no internet.

Gray Horace's reign turned Suakoko into a primeval forest.

But Gray Horace was still polite to the Chinese, because now only the Chinese were willing to purchase timber, and selling timber was Gray's only source of income.

The army was supported by aid from the United States, but the money from selling wood went into Gray's own pocket, so even if the wood was sold at a low price, Gray could still earn at least several million dollars a year.

These were all heard during the casual chat during the meal. After the meal, Gao Yi didn't need to find any excuse and naturally followed the bosses to the hotel.

The hotel is less than 100 meters away from the restaurant in a straight line, and it only takes three or two minutes to walk.

Locals were not allowed to enter the hotel, but Gao Yi was with a few bosses, so at least he had no problem using the internet.

But when they came to the hotel again and sat down in the lobby on the first floor with a few people, only Lin Xianghua went back to the room alone, and Gao Yi just sat there and sent a message openly.

It's normal to play with your phone while chatting.

"It will open at ten tomorrow morning."

In one sentence, Luca knew what it meant.

After receiving the message, Luca barely waited, he replied immediately.

"So soon? Are you sure?"

"Okay, if you're on time, you can wait for me in the sky, and you can land when I give you the signal."

"Got it. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and sent another message.

"There's a weird guy, he's Chinese, I think he's in the same industry as me."

"?"

"He looks stupid, but he has stood the test..."

Gao Yi briefly explained Lin Xianghua's situation, then he put down his phone and continued chatting with others. After arriving at the hotel, these people would not talk about any sensitive topics because the hotel was directly controlled by Gray Horace.

After chatting for a while, Gao Yi pretended to be casual and opened his phone, and saw Luca's reply.

“Consumables.”

The characteristic of English is that you don’t understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. Gao Yi was stunned for a while, and then he had to use translation software to check it before he realized that the word meant consumables.

“What do you mean by consumables?”

"We call consumables consumables, and mercenaries cannon fodder. The guy you're talking about must be a new consumable. If he's not a threat, ignore him."

Thinking about Lin Xianghua's appearance, Gao Yi felt that the word "consumables" was really appropriate.

A newbie who knows nothing and is so stupid, it's obvious that he's here to die. Maybe people are just using him to investigate the situation.

Suakoko's situation is too special, and it is not easy to obtain information. Since Luca found him, the others found Lin Xianghua, which means the same thing.

Thinking of this, Gao Yi suddenly thought of a question, that is, could it be that he was also regarded as a consumable by Luca?
I can't think about it. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is really the case.

Fortunately, Gao Yi has the means to restrain Luca, so he is not worried about being abandoned by Luca. If that really happens, Luca won't get a penny anyway, and he will have to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Without thinking any more, and after chatting for a while, Gao Yi said goodbye to everyone and returned to his hotel alone.

This time, although Lin Xianghua was there the whole time, he did not mention working for Gao Yi again, and it seemed as if he was really going to give up.

Of course, Lin Xianghua may have other plans, but it doesn’t matter anymore and it has nothing to do with Gao Yi.

After a good sleep, I woke up the next day, packed all my things into my bag, and put the bag behind the door of the room where I slept. If they really wanted to do something, I would just take it and leave.

Gao Yi had just packed up his things and hadn't had time to prepare food when he heard someone outside shouting, "Boss, boss! He's coming out."

It was only around seven o'clock in the morning, and Sambanda came again, with six of his men, two of whom were carrying metal detectors or something like that.

"Good morning." Sangbanda greeted Gao Yi politely, then he waved his hand and said to the men who followed him: "Check carefully and don't mess it up."

Gao Yi was dumbfounded, because he didn't expect the security check to be so strict. He was just a warlord, why did they have to be so professional?

Sangbanda sat down and waved his hand at Gao Yi, saying, "Sit down and wait. It will be quick."

Four people began to check the restaurant. There was nothing in the restaurant, but a soldier carrying a metal detector was still scanning everywhere.

Gao Yi asked curiously, "What is this? A metal detector?"

It's nonsense to ask questions even though you already know the answer, but Gao Yi thinks this is normal.

And Sangbanda didn't think there was anything wrong with Gao Yi's curiosity. He said complacently: "It can not only detect metals, but also explosives."

Gao Yi was secretly thankful that he didn't use any weapons, otherwise it would be difficult to avoid such strict inspection.

Soon, all six soldiers returned to the restaurant, and one of them said, "Sir, there is nothing unusual, and there are no weapons."

Sambanda nodded and then pointed at Gao Yi.

Immediately, a soldier began to scan Gao Yi from head to toe, and the metal detector made a sound.

Gao Yi stood up, silently took out his mobile phone and placed it on the table beside him, then opened his arms and asked someone to scan it again.

There was definitely no sound the second time, but after the soldier with the metal detector walked away, Sangbanda stood up, motioned Gao Yi to open his arms again, and began to touch Gao Yi's body.

Sangbanda was not very tall, only half a head taller than Gao Yi, but he was too strong. It looked okay from a distance, but when he got close to him, he felt particularly oppressive.

Gao Yi felt a little unconfident.

He is too strong and must have strong ability to withstand blows. If he really uses his bare hands, can he deliver a fatal blow without making any sound like Sambanda?

Also, the soldiers around Gray might be wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, so many deadly moves would not be deadly.

Gao Yi felt that things were starting to become difficult.

After Sambanda finished his inspection, he took two steps back and said with a smile, "It's ready now. How long will it take for your dish to be ready?"

Gao Yi didn't have a watch, so he picked up the phone on the table next to him, checked the time, and said, "It's half past seven. We have to hurry up now. It will be almost done by ten o'clock."

"Okay, do it."

Gao Yi turned and went to the backyard, but to his surprise, Sangbanda followed him, and two other soldiers also followed him.

Do I have to watch the whole process even when I’m cooking?
Gao Yi silently went to the chicken coop and took out a live chicken he had prepared. He walked to the side, put the chicken's head on the wooden board, grabbed an axe, and chopped off the chicken's head with one stroke.

Sangbanda was standing nearby, watching Gao Yi busy with great interest.

The hot water has been boiled, and the chicken is plucked, gutted, and cleaned, then taken to the kitchen and chopped into small pieces.

Gao Yi was not very skilled at doing these things, because although he could cook, he had never killed a chicken before, so naturally he seemed a little unskilled when doing these things.

Just as Gao Yi put the chopped chicken into a bowl, Sambanda suddenly said, "You don't look very familiar with these. Are you really a chef?"

Gao Yi said helplessly: "I used to use slaughtered chickens. We don't have to kill chickens ourselves."

Sambanda shrugged and said, "Good reason."

He became much more skilled at doing the rest, and Gao Yi looked like a half-master chef.

Three people were monitoring the entire process. No matter what Gao Yi did, there would always be someone staring at him intently.

Even when Gao Yi went to the toilet, there was a soldier staring at him and he refused to turn his head away.

But Gao Yi doesn't need to make any preparations. His biggest advantage is that he can take action at any time. As long as he doesn't take action, he won't reveal any flaws.

So, all Gao Yi had to do was cook, and nothing else needed to be prepared.
