Chapter 827 Special Chapter. Heavenly Punishment XCⅤ

April 15, 2056

Just after 0 o'clock

A spark drifted past, and a pile of bonfires burned, and then piles of bonfires lit up one after another.

Ellie sat tremblingly in front of the campfire. It was not until just now that they found the place where they would spend the night. It was on the side of a leeward mountain wall, and people were still collecting firewood all around.

The flames briefly drove away the chill on everyone's bodies. The two-day mountain road was extremely miserable for researchers like Ellie.

The kidnappers are making distilled water that will be used tomorrow. They seem to be completely adapted to this kind of life in the mountains and forests. Ellie is still a little confused about what happened at noon yesterday, and Thomas comes closer.

"I'm sorry, you made the right decision."

Ellie hummed. If she wanted to survive, in this kind of mountain range, she could only move hand in hand slowly.

Yesterday, Ellie directly told those people that the leaves of that plant were poisonous. Because they were put in the wrong place, they had to make them again. Although some water was wasted, they later found the water source with the help of Thomas.

In less than two days, they had traveled more than 60 kilometers away from the place where they were kidnapped. These people carried them through many sections of the road.

At first, I thought that this group of people would threaten or even harm them unscrupulously, but they did not do anything extraordinary. Instead, they were very disciplined and took good care of the 11 of them.

Thomas knew very well that Ellie's judgment was correct. If these people were reduced in number, sick and died, they would also be in danger.

Thomas is well aware of the complexity of the terrain in this mountainous area. Throughout the day today, the number of planes flying over has been very small.

In addition, these guys all have relatively primitive equipment in their hands, without any electronic equipment, and even use the most primitive flint for ignition. They seem to be very adapted to such a life in the mountains and forests.

Now they can only take one step at a time. It is impossible for the military not to take action. After they leave this mountain forest, they will be at the junction of three small countries. Thomas speculates that the military will make effective arrangements there. Although they were kidnapped, the client probably wanted the technology in their hands, and the 11 of them would not be in danger.

Thomas glanced at the faces of the others. Everyone's expressions had softened a lot now. Although the nightmare experience the day before yesterday left many people at a loss, it would be fine as long as they figured it out.

Looking at Ellie next to her, she was still comforting a younger woman.

"You are indeed not suitable for doing certain research."

Thomas muttered, and Corey came over with some canned food.

"Eat, ladies and gentlemen."

Thomas said and looked at Ellie. She was the calmest among the 11 people. She did not become frightened or sad because of the sudden encounter. Instead, she took things as they came and never complained at all.

People are often more vulnerable when faced with threats of violence. Others still have fear written on their faces, but this woman named Ellie is different. She is not very old, but she looks like she has experienced it. Countless strong winds and waves.

Now Corey is sure that the army has planned to do something near the mountains, but I'm afraid they will be disappointed. After leaving this complex mountain range, there is a small base in the mountains, which they prepared early in the morning, and there is an airplane. .

Everything needed for this operation was provided by the client. The aircraft had all the information and code signals that had been prepared. It could go directly to a port on the seaside, and an international rescue team ship that had been prepared was theirs. The path away from O continent.

In order to ensure the success of this plan, Corey and the others spent three months making detailed arrangements when they took on this task.

Now the military may have raided their stronghold, but Corey has no plans to go back there. After all, their organization split three years ago, and they have long been at odds with the bossy lady in the base. .

Before Corey carried out the mission, he had already released false news based on some information provided by the client. The location of the transaction and the client behind the scenes were all known to the woman.

Nowadays, each person can receive more than 1 million, which is enough for them to live comfortably in a small country in N continent for a lifetime.

Although Corey and the others have made a lot of money from the income of mercenaries over the years, they have also paid a lot. They have to spend a lot of money to perform tasks in many places before they can travel unimpeded.

In fact, after spending on the mission, including equipment maintenance and some necessary expenses, they did not save much money, but this mission was different and allowed them to retire.

Over the years, Corey has become a little tired of such a life of licking blood. Recently, as the frozen world has begun to connect again, and countries have begun to interact with each other again, their lives will be very difficult in the future.

The moment this mission was successful, Corey thought about retiring, but he didn't expect to lose so many people. This was something Corey didn't expect.

No one has a family, so every time when performing a mission, everyone has agreed that once caught, they should not hesitate and just end it on their own.

"Mr. Corey, can I ask you a question?"

Corey came back to his senses, the mountain wind whistled past his ears, and Ellie behind him was shivering. Corey nodded and went to the fire.

After the two sat down, Ellie looked at Corey angrily and asked.

"Why kill other people?"

"This is what the client told us. The number of people we can take away is limited."

Ellie didn't ask any more questions. She stood up and walked towards Thomas and the others. She glanced at the mercenaries who were talking and laughing around the fire.

"This is the world, miss."

Ellie smiled, shook her head and said.

"Everyone will pay for what they do, Mr. Corey."

Corey hummed.

"You are right, miss. Everyone will pay for what they do, but we are in such a crazy world. If you want to talk to me about human nature, I can actually Let me tell you, it’s the stupidest thing to talk about in this crazy world.”

"I just want to tell you that what you are doing is wrong!"

Ellie returned to the fire, Thomas smiled helplessly, and Nicole, who had half-closed eyes, sneered.

"Can you reason with these guys?"

Ellie shook her head.

"When you make a mistake for the first time, if no one reminds you, you may make the same mistake again and again in the future. My teacher taught me this a long time ago. Mistakes can be corrected. You think in a single thought instead of using this world, this society, or injustice as an excuse. This is the behavior of a coward!"
