Moreover, that medicine could also cure diseases. One of his sons had leukemia and thought there was no cure, but after using this medicine, his condition gradually improved. After using it three times, he was basically cured. The attending physicians were amazed and asked where the medicine came from.
This medicine is practically a panacea for wealthy people who are afraid of dying!
So later, Ming Changda began to resell these drugs in his circle. A drug that cost three million US dollars per dose could earn him eight to ten million US dollars after auctioning it off, making a very considerable profit!
At this moment, Ming Changda's eyes kept darting around. He stared at Zhang Manli's face and said, "Miss Manli, since you're leaving now, could you give me a batch of medicine first?"
“I knew you’d want it, so the boss had me bring it.” Zhang Manli took three sealed glass test tubes out of her pocket and placed them on the table. “Nine million US dollars. Remember to pay it together with the money you owe.”
Ming Changda looked at the medicine on the table. The medicine in the glass test tubes emitted a faint, alluring, and mysterious red color.
He swallowed subconsciously and laughed, "Don't keep talking about money, we've known each other for a long time."
"So, you want these medicines without paying?" Zhang Manli directly exposed Ming Changda's thoughts. "If you don't want to pay, just say so earlier. There's no need to waste so much of my time."
Zhang Manli stood up, put away the three sealed test tubes, and turned to leave.
"Stop!" Ming Changda suddenly slammed his hand on the table, and a piercing alarm immediately blared in the reception room. At the same time, he took out a golden Desert Eagle from the table and pointed it behind Zhang Manli.
The next second, a squad of armed soldiers carrying AK47s filed in and entered the living room, all raising their guns and pointing them at Zhang Manli.
With the gun pointed at her, Zhang Manli smiled nonchalantly and said, "So? You want to steal the goods?"
"I'm not only going to steal your goods, but I'm also going to take you!" Ming Changda grinned lewdly, his gaze lingering on Zhang Manli's slender waist.
Zhang Manli said, "You're wrong. These goods don't belong to me; they belong to the boss. As for you wanting them from me... go ask my boss first, and we'll talk about it after he agrees."
After saying that, she sat back down in her chair, leaning back lazily, and even yawned casually.
Seeing Zhang Manli's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Ming Changda suddenly felt a strange tension in his heart. He raised his voice and said:
"I know you're impressive, having recruited quite a few assassins and mercenaries here a year ago, but you need to understand, this area is my territory, my kingdom, and I call the shots!"
Zhang Manli ignored him after hearing this and remained indifferent.
Hearing this, Gu Ranying's clone understood something and thought that what Zhang Ronghua had taken over must be the legacy of the Zhang family in Chiang Mai.
The Zhang family of Chiang Mai initially made their fortune through assassinations, but they were later wiped out by the Zhang family of Southeast Asia in a muddle-headed manner, which was entirely their own fault.
Ming Changda was enraged by Zhang Manli's nonchalant attitude: "You wait, I'll send troops to blow up your cave base right now, and tonight I'm going to pin you down on my bed!"
He was curious to know what kind of expression Zhang Manli would have when he looked down at her on the bed, and whether she would still be as calm as she was now.
Ming Changda gritted his teeth, stopped looking at Zhang Manli, ordered a few people to guard Zhang Manli here, and then went to the parade ground to muster the troops.
Ming Changda blew the assembly whistle on the playground, and it took about twenty minutes to get the team together.
This was during the daytime, and everyone was dressed neatly.
If this were a Chinese soldier, even if he were sleeping in his undress at night, upon hearing an emergency assembly call, he would be within three minutes.
They can get dressed and armed within the time limit and complete the assembly.
Compared to a regular army, a disorganized guerrilla force is worlds apart.
But Ming Changda didn't care about any of that. He believed that in northern Myanmar, as long as there were plenty of people, guns, and bullets, that would be enough. Each of his soldiers had an AK and a full supply of bullets. There were 500 regular troops in this town, and five other towns like this in the surrounding area, all of which belonged to him.
This is his largest and most secluded town, so it has the most people; other towns have at most two or three hundred people.
This arrangement was also carefully planned. Ming Changda believed that he had learned from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's demise and that local areas should not be allowed to become more powerful than the central government. Therefore, the quality of the soldiers and the equipment in his town were the best. In addition to AKs, there were also heavy weapons such as mortars and mountain guns.
Including the surrounding villages, this area was also within his sphere of influence, with militia numbering nearly a thousand people.
So if mobilized, he could muster about three regiments of troops to wage guerrilla warfare in the jungle, and the Burmese government army would not dare to enter the mountains and fight them.
Now, he has gathered three hundred men to attack the Zhang family's cave base, which is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—making a mountain out of a molehill.
This cave base has been operating for almost ten years. The people living in the cave also come to the town for shopping and entertainment, so Ming Changda knows exactly how many people are inside.
At most twenty people!
With two hundred men against twenty, how could they possibly lose?
Even if we can't beat him, he still has a mountain cannon!
"Where's Naichai? Why isn't he here?" Ming Changda discovered that one of his squad leaders was missing.
"Brother Nai Cai just took a big fish to have some fun. He's probably in the noisy gambling hall and didn't hear the assembly whistle," a soldier replied.
"Forget it, let's ignore him." Ming Changda didn't care and let a vice-captain temporarily replace Naichai.
In his view, as long as they set up a show of force at the entrance of the cave, the people inside, seeing so many guns and cannons, would they still resist? Even a fool would know to surrender immediately!
Two hundred against twenty, the advantage is in my hands!
Ming Changda's history was not fully understood. He didn't know that the later bald-headed principal also thought the same way. Every time he felt that "the advantage was in my hands," that was when the bald-headed principal suffered a defeat.
……
not far away.
After receiving feedback from his shadow clone, Gu Ran watched Ming Changda foolishly assembling his troops from the side with his white eyes, thinking to himself that this warlord was truly a mountain clumsy fool.
However, Gu Ran felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and help Zhou Yancheng find his sister. He could also take the opportunity to sneak into the cave base and find out if there was any news about his mother, Zhang Qiong.
Chapter 329 Releasing Deadpool
Before entering the cave base, Gu Ran created a shadow clone and handed it a pile of clay and explosive tags.
"Go help Zhou Yancheng find his sister. Take these things with you; they should come in handy."
The shadow clone nodded, took everything, and left using the Body Flicker Technique.
The shadow clone took away half of Gu Ran's chakra. This means that now that he has a large family and a lot of chakra, he has more than he can use. In the past, when he only had 1 chakra, he would not have dared to use the shadow clone so frequently.
Just then, Ming Changda arrived with his two hundred-strong force. Gu Ran once again concealed himself in camouflage and hid to the side.
Ming Changda was very domineering. His large army was armed with guns and cannons. With ten times the strength, he could easily overpower a small cave.
"Use grenades to blow open the cave entrance!" Ming Changda ordered.
A soldier next to me took out an AK74 rifle equipped with a GP-25 grenade launcher. This classic Soviet-era design allows the AK to fire grenades and is known as the 'world's smallest mortar'.
The soldier was very inexperienced; after mounting the grenade, he hesitated and couldn't fire it. It turned out that the safety hadn't been fully engaged.
To prevent soldiers from accidentally triggering it on the battlefield, this grenade launcher is designed with three safety mechanisms, but this inexperienced soldier only unlocked one.
After all the safety devices were disengaged, the soldier pulled the trigger again, but the grenade still did not fire.
"Are you even capable?!" Ming Changda was furious watching from the side. Although he knew his soldiers were not as good as the regular army, he did not expect them to be this bad.
Keep in mind that the soldiers in his town were already among the best in terms of quality.
The soldier took the grenade down, suddenly tapped the fuse on his hand, and said, "This is a dud!"
When Ming Changda saw what he did, his eyes widened in shock, his face turned almost green with fright, and his heart pounded wildly!
Thank goodness it was a dud, otherwise everyone around here would have been killed!
His soldiers are good at bullying men and women, and they can handle the unarmed "piglets" in the base, but they always fail when it comes to crucial moments.
Fortunately, today's operation was not dangerous, otherwise Ming Changda would not have taken the risk.
"Holy crap, I got startled too!" Gu Ran muttered to himself, then silently drifted a little further away to avoid...
Accidentally injured.
After switching to a different grenade, it was finally launched safely, denting the cave entrance.
"Change to an RPG!" Ming Changda ordered.
The RPG had good penetration capabilities; after two high-explosive rockets were fired, the door was completely blown open.
This door is an automatic door made of sheet metal and aluminum alloy. It doesn't have any special defensive capabilities and is not even as good as a security door for entering a house.
Ming Changda shouted into the cave through a megaphone: "Listen up, you people inside! I am Ming Changda, and I am now taking over this cave. If you know what's good for you, surrender and come out now. I, Ming Changda, have always been magnanimous and treat prisoners well. Besides, we have worked together for so many years and have developed feelings for each other. As long as you surrender, I will let you go home!"
"Now, I'll give you five minutes to think it over. Hurry up, I'll be storming in in five minutes. I have guns and cannons, and more than five hundred men. You can't escape. Surrender is your only way out!"
After saying this, Ming Changda handed the megaphone to a soldier next to him who could speak Chinese: "You, start the countdown. Remind them inside every minute so they know time is running out."
"If they don't come out in five minutes, each squad rushes in. Remember, don't break anything inside; the things inside are very valuable!" he continued to tell the squad leaders around him.
Gu Ran overheard their battle plan and thought to himself that although these people were novices, they still had some fighting ability since they had guns.
However, he can now take advantage of the chaos to enter the cave.
The cave passageway is equipped with traps; any ordinary creature that enters would likely be attacked. Moreover, it probably uses a thermal imaging system, so even if it were to become invisible, it would still be detected.
However... Gu Ran still has a way.
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique!
This ninjutsu uses chakra to turn soil into flowing, loose sand, allowing one to dig forward underground like an earth dragon.
This ninjutsu allows one to remain hidden underground while simultaneously sensing the situation on the surface, making it ideal for surprise attacks and reconnaissance.
Gu Ran could completely hide beneath the soil and sneak in quietly.
Go underground, the mechanisms above will definitely be useless!
So, Gu Ran began to form hand seals and, where no one was watching, hid himself in the ground.
He hid as low as one meter underground and quickly entered the cave entrance.
He quickly passed through the passageway without triggering any of the mechanisms inside.
Underground, he can use his Byakugan's X-ray vision to observe the paths on the ground, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost at all.
The only problem is that there are some things he can't hear.
For example, he has now entered the central hall of the cave, where many people are standing together, seemingly having a meeting.
In order to hear what they were saying clearly, Gu Ran had no choice but to rise up and eavesdrop closer to the ground.
The floor here was hardened with epoxy self-leveling compound, which is made of epoxy resin. It's quite thick and has good sound insulation.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to hear what was said, but Gu Ran once used his Sharingan to copy Caesar's Word of Power: Kamaitachi.
So he lightly uttered dragon script and quickly established a Kamaitachi Domain. One by one, transparent, elf-like Kamaitachi began to emerge from the ground to listen to their conversation.
“Ming Changda is such an idiot. He thinks he can scare us like this. How stupid,” a female technician sneered.
A young man next to him chimed in, "That's right. Although we're all researchers here, and not many of us are actually good at fighting, we're not afraid of a fight. They have no idea how strong we hybrids are."
Despite being heavily besieged outside, the people here are not nervous at all.
