Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 167 The Authentic Experience of Running a Business

This town needs to change!

After being bored in the sand for nearly half an hour, Song Lan came to an important conclusion.

He finally understands the importance of those private visits in micro-services in the movie. If he hadn’t walked out of the gate of District [-] himself, it would be hard for him to imagine that people here would regard this sultry, dangerous and uncomfortable sand bath as a way to relax Way.

Heart to heart.

If he was a businessman traveling between the neutral country and the [-]th district, he would not have crossed the desert to reach the inn, but what awaited them was a dilapidated inn that could not even take a shower.

"We took this as a starting point, and there's another reason."

After returning to the hotel room, Lu Xiang said, "It's a rare time to come out. I want to experience the life of merchants. Most of the people downstairs just now are mercenaries, and they all come here to find work."

Only relying on the power of merchants, it is difficult to complete the transportation of goods alone, even by air.

The local criminals are extremely well-equipped, and they have contacts with multinational arms dealers behind their backs, and many of them are equipped with ground-to-air weapons.

If the transporting plane is shot down by a criminal group, the loss will be unimaginable.

Because of this, even merchants who have financial resources for air transportation prefer land transportation.

"This small town is the starting point of the trade route. Usually, many businessmen come here to recruit mercenaries. In addition to dealing with criminal groups active on the route, there may be mutated creatures in the desert along the way. For example, here There is a mutated creature called the Death Crab by the locals, which looks like a crab and usually hides in the sand, and will attack once a convoy passes by.”

Lu Xiang helped Song Lan popularize some "outside" knowledge, "The size of an adult death crab is bigger than a transport truck, and its strength can easily overturn an object weighing more than ten tons."

In addition to criminals, there are also huge monsters that can overturn a truck weighing more than ten tons?

Song Lan felt that there was a big problem with Lu Xiang's understanding of "tourism".

Or should they go home?

However, before he could speak, Lu Xiang continued to reveal his plan, "We can apply for mercenaries, so that we can follow a caravan to Country No. 12."

When she proposed this plan, Song Lan rejected it from the bottom of her heart.

But Lu Xiang saw through his thoughts at a glance, and added, "In this way, you can leave the desert area as soon as possible, and there is an air conditioner in the car, which is much cooler than staying in a hotel."

Song Lan had to admit that Lu Xiang was always able to accurately hit his weak spot. Now he suspects that the experience of sand bathing is also a trick of the other party. He is so hot now that he really wants to find a place with air conditioning to stay. If possible, he also wanted to leave this small town as soon as possible.

Lu Xiang also mentioned "leaving the desert area", that is to say, this kind of simple town is not abnormal. Maybe out of the desert area, there will be a high-end hotel with an elegant environment waiting for them.

This couldn't help giving him another glimmer of hope.

Because not all places in the "outside" are poor. As far as he knows, country No. 12 is the trade center of a neutral country. A random investment by its princess can immediately solve the financial problems faced by their department. The construction is probably much stronger than that of the seventeenth district.

You must know that the urban construction of the 2020th district is the worst echelon in the entire coalition government. Except for the downtown area with more rich people, the architectural style of other areas is not much more advanced than that of [-].

Ever since she came to 2166, Song Lan hadn't tasted the charm of first-tier cities.

After thinking for a while, he reluctantly agreed to Lu Xiang's plan.

However, two hours later, Lu Xiang, who was originally full of interest, returned to the hotel room, sat on the bed, and fell into a state of low pressure.

In her original plan, at this time they should have found the caravan that hired them, and began to count the supplies and prepare to embark on the journey to No. 12 country, but she ignored a fatal problem.

In order to deceive others, both she and Song Lan adopted certain disguise techniques.

This did save them a lot of trouble, but it also had a consequence.

The supervisor of the [-]th district's law enforcement department, together with the powerful combination of "enthusiastic citizens", has repeatedly failed in the job hunting process, and no caravan is willing to hire them, even if she clearly stated that the price is not a problem.

Even though he gritted his teeth and offered a free escort, he was still declined by the caravan.

If this continues, they may become the first wronged species to become mercenaries at their own expense.

And if they are mercenaries at their own expense, no one will hire them, because they are too suspicious-how can any normal person be willing to spend money to escort others, what are they trying to do?

Therefore, they had reason to suspect that these two suspicious elements who worked as mercenaries at their own expense were headhunters placed in the caravan by the criminal group.

In Lu Xiang's travel plan, traveling with the caravan is a very important part, because it allows them to get in touch with the caravan at close range and understand more intuitively what the caravan may encounter on this trade line. difficulty.

"I think they're a sane team by not hiring us."

Song Lan sat next to Lu Xiang, stroking her back to calm her emotions, "We don't have guns, and we don't look like ruthless characters. You see, your arms are so slender and your skin is white. It looks like the 'outside' is running around."

Of course, if there was a fight, Song Lan conservatively estimated that Lu Xiang should be able to beat up the mercenaries on the first floor of the hotel within a minute.

"Then what do you say?"

Lu Xiang turned his face sideways, his eyes a little aggrieved.

"Do you have to act with the caravan?"

"Ah."

"Then, let's make them something that matches our appearance."

Seeing Lu Xiang's rare pitiful expression, Song Lan used his brains and said, "There is no need to be limited to mercenaries. We can claim to be an investigation team from a big company and hope to go with them. Anyway, we And don’t expect to make money from mercenary fees, at worst, share the mercenary fees with them.”

"Exploration team?"

"Tesla Technology's biological investigation team, the purpose of this trip is to collect biological information in this area for a new type of household robot."

This can also just explain why they did not take the suspension car, but chose to follow the caravan.

With their delicate skin and tender flesh, they looked like employees of a big company at first glance.

"You wait for me here, I'll go and negotiate with the caravan in the town."

……

About a quarter of an hour later, Song Lan returned to the house.

"Now there is a caravan ready to go, and they are happy to go with us."

"You still have more ways to do it."

Lu Xiang nodded, his frown relaxed, he picked up the unopened suitcase, and followed Song Lan's footsteps.
