"You little brat, you expect me to treat you to a meal? You ruined my host club before, I'm already being generous by not making you pay for it!"
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei finally realized, "So you're the boss's wife!"
Su Enxi scoffed speechlessly, "The way you put it makes me feel like a madam..."
Lu Mingfei wanted to say something more, but Su Enxi had already hung up the phone immediately.
When Brother Hei saw that Lu Mingfei had hung up the phone, he immediately asked when the money would arrive.
Lu Mingfei said the money had already been deposited into his account, and if he didn't believe him, he could check it himself.
The black man was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out a cell phone from the drawer. Since they were close to town, they could receive a signal. The black man saw a text message from the bank, notifying him that he had received one million dollars.
The black man was dumbfounded; it was the first time someone had given him money so readily.
He put his phone back in his pocket, then looked down slightly and glanced at the pretty girl with light blonde hair.
The girl looked so noble, with fair and delicate skin and an elegant demeanor, like a princess raised in seclusion in a grand palace.
The black man seemed to have taken an interest in Zero, and couldn't help but quote a line from Shakespeare: "Woman, your existence is like the most beautiful scenery in the world. Would you please have dinner with me?"
Just as Shakespeare said, beauty is more likely to arouse evil than gold and silver. Looking at the black man's lewd smile, Lu Mingfei revealed a smug smile and a set of big white teeth.
He stood in front of Zero, blocking the black man's view, and said, "My young lady..."
Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by the big black guy and fell on his butt.
Looking at Ling's aloof face, Big Black Brother reached out as if to touch her cheek. He slowly reached out, looking at her face, and unintentionally their eyes met.
Her eyes shimmered with a faint golden light. Despite traversing the wilderness, she remained untouched by the world, like an angel untouched by earthly dust, making her seem untouchable. Yet, her beauty was as alluring as a devil.
Lu Mingfei rubbed his butt on the ground, wondering if this black guy had some kind of fetish.
He remembered how Zero had used his advantages to extract secrets from the priests of the Snake Clan, and subconsciously didn't want Zero to do that again.
Lu Mingfei looked around and suddenly noticed the gun on the table. He lowered his eyes slightly to observe the gun and the black man's movements, like a lion eyeing an intruder in its territory.
Brother Hei seemed to sense something. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. He instinctively turned around but saw nothing. Despite the sweltering heat, he inexplicably shivered.
Then he finally realized something and looked back at Lu Mingfei once again.
Lu Mingfei was still rubbing his butt on the ground, only glancing at him from time to time, as if he didn't care about anything.
Brother Hei was puzzled again. Could it be that he sensed something wrong, or that it wasn't him?
In the end, the black man did not reach out to touch that flawless white face, but once again invited Zero to a candlelight dinner that evening.
He nodded at midnight, which was considered an agreement.
Overjoyed, the black man mumbled something to the outsiders in his native language, saying that he was a man of his word and would send Lu Mingfei and Zero to the nearest town first thing tomorrow morning, and their equipment would be returned.
Then he had someone take Ling and Lu Mingfei to another room to rest.
The two were taken to a relatively cool room with a fan.
The black man only sent one black man to guard the door, seemingly not worried that the two would escape, and even untied them both.
It makes sense. The two men were unarmed, while the others were armed. Anyone with eyes could see that power and strength come from the barrel of a gun, and no one would be foolish enough to fight someone with guns while unarmed.
Because a gun is always fast and accurate within seven paces.
But these two are not ordinary people; they are both people who wield 'power and influence'.
Evening came quickly, and Zero was asked to leave. Lu Mingfei ate canned beef and boiled potatoes in his room. This simple dinner was the normal food Lu Mingfei had eaten in Africa, and he ate with relish.
He wasn't worried about Zero's safety. Once Zero was untied, he would be like Lu Bu after being untied, easily unleashing his full power and cutting down the people here like grass.
However, to Lu Mingfei's surprise, Ling returned before he had finished his dinner.
Chapter 536 Burning Down the Camp
"Eating so fast?" Lu Mingfei looked at Ling who had returned.
"I didn't eat it. He put drugs in the food." Ling reached out and snatched the half potato that Lu Mingfei had left in his hand, and finished it in a few bites.
"Let's go," she said, tilting her head to Lu Mingfei.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Lu Mingfei controlled himself, trying not to think about how Ling had just eaten his potato.
If this were a Japanese romance anime, this kind of 'indirect kiss' scene would definitely cause the female or male lead to blush and feel shy.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei is not the main character, so he doesn't have a romantic mindset.
He followed Zero out of the room in a daze, then realized with a start: "Are we just going to walk away like this, openly and honestly? What about us?"
Ling walked ahead, with Lu Mingfei following behind, only to find that there was no one around.
“They didn’t take us seriously at all, and these armed separatist forces are just a bunch of ragtag soldiers with no discipline whatsoever; they don’t even have anyone on guard duty,” Zero explained.
Lu Mingfei looked around and it was true. There wasn't even a sentry. The security here was worse than in his hometown. At least in his hometown, there was an old man at the gate watching the security camera.
Soon, the two arrived at the place where supplies were stored. This was an important part of the camp, so two people were guarding it with guns.
"Go and attract their attention." Zero left these words behind and then disappeared.
Lu Mingfei was quite aware of being the bait. He raised his hands and walked towards the two men, asking as he went, "Where is a place to take a bath? I want to take a bath!"
The two black natives seemed not to understand what Lu Mingfei was saying, and both frowned.
Seeing that they didn't understand, Lu Mingfei made a gesture of rubbing his back with a towel with both hands. The two black men finally understood. One of them put down his gun and pointed to the river not far away.
Just as he lowered his gun, another person holding a gun was suddenly attacked from behind and immediately fell down. Before the other person could react, he was knocked unconscious by Zero's "Fatal Chicken Slap" and "Ghost Slap on the Back of the Head".
"Let's go."
Ling walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and Lu Mingfei quickly followed.
He glanced down at the two people. One was convulsing on the ground, seemingly having suffered a nerve injury, while the other lay on the ground, his chest rising and falling slowly with each breath.
Neither of them died.
So he strode after Zero.
The warehouse was full of food, and their heavy loads were also there. Lu Mingfei and Zero picked up their backpacks, and miraculously, Zero's two dumbbells were still there.
"Go move the stuff to the warehouse entrance, I'll go steal a car," Ling instructed Lu Mingfei.
"Just like that? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
Lu Mingfei had a clear understanding of his own abilities. He could be used as a trained soldier when he had cover, but he was not good at charging into battle.
If it were Caesar and Chu Zihang, they might not need to go through all that trouble; they could just lead the charge. But Lu Mingfei doesn't have that kind of strength!
"I made a simple ignition device over there."
Zero pointed to the room where the black guy had lived before.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet what you did to that black guy?" Lu Mingfei asked.
That black guy actually dared to drug Zero, he's bound to have a bad ending, right?
"We only physically castrated him; we didn't kill him," Zero said calmly.
"Physical castration..."
As a fellow man, Lu Mingfei had already sensed the sadness in the other man's testicles.
But he deserved it; Zero was already merciful by not killing him.
"However, if he remains undiscovered, he may bleed to death."
As she spoke, Zero suddenly started running, disappearing into the darkness in a few quick movements.
She's going to steal a car.
Without wasting any words, Lu Mingfei immediately went to the warehouse and moved several boxes of canned goods, a sack of potatoes, and a case of soda!
I didn't expect there to be drinks too, that's great!
There's a flatbed cart with casters in the warehouse, which is perfect for helping Lu Mingfei move things. He just needs to load the items onto the cart and then pull it along!
As he pushed the flatbed cart full of food to the door, an explosion suddenly came from the Black man's house, followed by towering flames.
The makeshift ignition device involved scattering diesel fuel from the generator into the house, then using a bayonet to puncture the insulation of an electrical wire, causing the generator to overheat and run.
Before long, sparks from the wires ignited the diesel fuel, and it started burning.
The explosion was an accident; it must have been a bullet or grenade that burned inside the house.
Regardless, the explosion and the fire at night immediately attracted the attention of many people. Their first reaction was to watch the spectacle, and then they realized it seemed to be the leader's house, which is when they remembered to put out the fire.
Just as they were shouting and yelling about putting out the fire, Zero had already driven over in a pickup truck.
Lu Mingfei quickly moved everything upstairs. The group of people didn't seem to have noticed them. Logically speaking, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," a fire in the camp must mean someone is coming to raid the camp, so the first thing to do is to guard their own granary.
But these black guys seem to be uneducated and haven't read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." None of them came here. This is their grain warehouse. How can they not value it?
"That's enough, let's go," Zero said.
“We gave them a million, it would feel like a huge loss if we didn’t move more.” Lu Mingfei seemed to want to move a few more boxes.
“I got that million back,” Zero said expressionlessly. “Before he lost consciousness, I found out his bank account password and transferred all 1.3 million dollars from his account. You can have the extra 300,000 as pocket money.”
"Uh... thank you!" Lu Mingfei always felt that Zero was like a female thief who robbed and plundered.
"Arurururu, gala la!"
Suddenly, shouts and screams came from not far away, and finally someone noticed the commotion.
Without a word, Ling raised his hand and fired two shots at him before crawling into the driver's seat. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, climbed into the back of the pickup truck and lay down to provide support by firing.
Actually, Lu Mingfei didn't need to do anything. Zero drove very fast. Under Zero's control, the pickup truck was like a beast, roaring away in an instant and taking them far away.
Several black men tried to chase after them in their cars, but Lu Mingfei, holding the school-issued M4A1, fired several bursts of fire that blew up their tires!
Then there were no more pursuers chasing after them.
In fact, as soon as Lu Mingfei fired his gun, these black guys scattered like birds and beasts, without even considering giving chase.
Ling drove for a while until the firelight behind them could no longer be seen before slowing down and letting Lu Mingfei sit in the passenger seat.
"Speaking of which, no air conditioning?" Lu Mingfei glanced at the car logo on the steering wheel. It was a Toyota pickup truck, but he didn't know the specific model. However, this model of pickup truck seemed to be frequently modified into war vehicles by African people.
"This car can travel a maximum of 600 kilometers. If you turn on the air conditioning, the range will be even shorter."
"Oh, I forgot about that," Lu Mingfei said. "I should have stolen some diesel fuel."
