Time flew by, and Luo Chen and his group soon arrived at their rest stop.
The rest stop is several hundred meters from the main road. You need to go down a side road, then walk through a grove of poplar trees, and finally reach the rest stop.
Outside the rest stop, there were several vehicles, and a guard post was located beside the road.
"What's going on?" Luo Chen frowned slightly. Could there be a formally organized military force here, and they were checking identities before entering?
Number Five explained, "Brother Xiao, since we do some business here, we have to follow their rules if we want to get in. We have to stop for a check and verify our identities. Of course, they also set this up in case some mercenaries cause trouble."
“Last time, when I came here with the regimental commander, I experienced a similar situation. I’ll go down and negotiate.” Number Five stopped the car, then walked to the outpost ahead, said a few words to the sentry, and finally took out a certificate from his pocket.
"Alright, all set. Let's go in. But once inside, the car must be parked outside, and you can only bring some basic weapons and equipment," Number Five said after getting into the car and starting the key.
"No problem, it's only right." Luo Chen understood that this place was actually similar to Hope Town. After all, everyone wanted to ensure their own safety, and if you chose to enter someone else's territory, you had to abide by their rules.
Moreover, they didn't make things difficult for you and even allowed you to carry basic firearms and ammunition, which was enough.
Anyway, it's just one night's rest. Originally, Luo Chen didn't plan to rest and just head straight to the Northern Frontier.
After all, every second wasted on the road could mean an extra risk.
However, considering that the car needed to refuel and that Mu Shiyu and the others had been in the woods for so long and needed to clean themselves, they decided to rest there for the night.
The fence opened, and Luo Chen and the others went inside.
Upon entering, one discovers that this place is essentially a small walled city, containing about five or six villas. The current administrators have clearly built a wall around these villas and expanded the area considerably.
Luo Chen observed the area and found that, apart from the previous outpost, there was a mercenary patrolling every two hundred meters.
It seems that the management here is indeed very strict; whether you want to sneak in or come out, you need a certain level of strength.
Excluding Mu Shiyu and the other three, Luo Chen and his group consisted of fifteen people with perfect combat strength.
Luo Chen's strength alone is equivalent to that of so many people. In general, their team would need at least fifty people to completely deal with them.
About 600 meters later, Luo Chen and his group parked their car outside the gate.
Luo Chen noticed that, in addition to the motorcade of the managers here, there was another car from somewhere else outside the door.
At least, Luo Chen had never seen it before, which led him to deduce that the car had only recently arrived.
"It's alright, only one car came, no one else." Luo Chen glanced around, then got out of the car and turned to Mu Shiyu and the others, saying, "You guys stay upstairs for now, and get out when I tell you to."
Luo Chen then gave some instructions to Mike, Mu Shanhai, and the others behind him, and walked into the door with Number Five.
"Hello, we'd like to rest here for the night. Could you please tell your boss that we're from the Iron Wolf mercenary group? He knows us," Number Five said to the guard.
The guard turned his head to look behind him, gestured behind him, and then turned back.
A mercenary emerged from the outpost, walked to a spot, and set up a machine gun aimed at Luo Chen and his group.
Luo Chen chuckled and glanced inside.
Although the place is small, and compared to Hope Town, it is practically a small mountain village, it is small but complete.
In addition to some essential needs, there is even a bar.
This reminded Luo Chen of the day he watched a dance performance at the Hope Town bar a few days ago.
"Alas, the good days are indeed gone forever," Luo Chen sighed to himself.
"There's a machine gun at the entrance. It's 600 meters from the fence to here, but I've only seen seven mercenaries and one heavy weapon. There aren't any tanks or anything like that. I don't know what's going on inside, or if there's any other way out. If we get surrounded, it'll be hard to get out." Luo Chen's caution resurfaced.
At any time, we should start thinking about follow-up ideas, and for any place, we should think things through clearly so that we can have a better way out.
"Fortunately, this wall isn't high, and it's probably not very sturdy either." Luo Chen glanced at the wall beside him, then tapped it with his hand.
The wall is indeed very sturdy, but there is a problem: it is not thick enough. If bombs or RPGs are used to bomb it, it would be very easy.
This made Luo Chen quite happy, at least there was a way to break through the unknown scenario.
"Hello, come in, but only the two of you can come in first." The guard who had gone to report earlier reappeared and said to Number Five.
Number Five looked at Luo Chen, and seeing Luo Chen nod, said, "Okay, let's go."
Luo Chen turned to Mike and the others, signaling them to get ready.
It wasn't that Luo Chen was intentionally causing trouble, but rather to prevent any unexpected events from happening. In this situation, caution was never wrong.
The two followed the guards to the very back of the villa.
Outside the villa, Luo Chen noticed a machine gun and four mercenaries, two outside and two inside.
When the villa door opened, a man in pajamas walked out, a cigar dangling from his lips.
"Hey, hello." The cigar-smoking man seemed very enthusiastic, and as soon as he came over, he took Number Five's hand and led him inside.
This was Luo Chen's deliberate arrangement, making Number Five the captain of their team.
The villa was very luxurious, with a huge bead above it, along with scattered smaller beads around it, forming a giant chandelier.
It has three floors in total, and the level of luxury inside is truly a different world compared to the outside.
"Has someone been here?" Luo Chen noticed two wine glasses on the coffee table.
The sofa has a slight indentation in the middle, indicating that the person has been sitting there for quite a while.
"Please sit down," the man said politely to Number Five, then sat down opposite him and crossed his legs.
"An Easterner?" The man glanced at Luo Chen, as if he had just noticed him.
"Could it be someone from our own family?" Luo Chen looked at the other person, who had the same skin color and an Eastern face.
Seemingly noticing Luo Chen's curiosity, the man exhaled a smoke ring and laughed, "Wu Hao has some Eastern ancestry, but it has nothing to do with me."
Luo Chen didn't say much; he clearly didn't want to pay any more attention to someone whose words were so arrogant.
"I remember you. You came here last time, the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, right?"
