King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 1163 - 1015: Survivors

Joe Ga faced the external undercurrents with a calm demeanor, and he hadn't been idle since the day they got trapped...

He wasn't on guard against anyone because he didn't know that the people from the Edward Fund had already air-dropped into the Amazon Rainforest, much less that this dangerous move resulted in several of those night parachuters getting killed.

Joe Ga and the others used the Sea Bear plane to set up a temporary camp on the water's edge.

The plane's battery was still relatively powerful. Tony used the battery along with the boss's solar charger to establish a temporary reconnaissance center, utilizing drones to search the surrounding area and establish detailed battlefield coordinates, all while continuing to search for the crashed Senas.

Joe Ga stood by the river, holding a makeshift fishing rod...

Seeing a crocodile that kept trying to nuzzle up to him, Joe Ga, annoyed, kicked the plump creature, causing it to hiss...

Noticing the creature was persistent, Joe Ga bent down, fished a big catfish out of the bucket, and waved it in front of the crocodile's face. When it opened its mouth, he tossed the catfish in.

The crocodile, having received its reward, tilted its head back to swallow the 40-centimeter-long catfish, then contentedly shook its head and retreated a few meters to bask on a gentle riverbank.

As Joe Ga picked up a stone to drive the greedy crocodile further away, he suddenly felt a weight on his arm. Instinctively, he lifted the fishing rod and excitedly shouted, "Grab the harpoon, I caught a big one..."

Dorian, who was busy trying to find a signal on the satellite phone, heard the commotion and quickly hung up the call. Grabbing a harpoon, he rushed over to stand beside Joe Ga, keeping a close watch on the river...

For the past two days, the group had relied on Joe Ga's fishing to survive, forming a kind of habitual awareness.

With Joe Ga's violent tugging, a large, bluish-black fish appeared on the distant water surface.

This fish, resembling a bream, was the size of a large plate, constantly rolling in an attempt to free itself from the hook.

Recognizing the fish, Dorian excitedly shouted, "Oh shit, it's a pacu piranha. These things like to attack people's nuts...

Boss, reel it in, reel it in, let me take it down..."

Joe Ga gripped the rod tightly, pulling upwards with all his might...

But fishing without playing the fish is ineffective; the big fish was full of energy and strength.

Despite Joe Ga's tall stature and over two hundred pounds, he was pulled forward, his foot stepping into the river.

The nearby crocodile noticed the commotion in the water and slowly slid into the river, heading towards the big fish, clearly intending to steal Joe Ga's catch...

Just as Joe Ga was yelling for Dorian to drive away the creature, the big fish that had been resisting him suddenly leapt out of the water as the crocodile approached...

Joe Ga, losing his footing, sat in the water. But as he fell, he still remembered to lift the rod, using the fish's leap to pull it closer to shore.

Dorian immediately threw the harpoon in his hand, hitting the big fish, and then the two of them worked together to quickly haul the fish onto the shore.

Looking at the fish, at least 50 centimeters long and extremely plump, Joe Ga gleefully hooked its gill with a gaff...

Seeing the crocodile catch up to the shore and open its mouth with a hissing roar, expressing its displeasure, Joe Ga irritably grabbed another catfish from the bucket and tossed it into the creature's mouth, showing the now-empty bucket to calm it down.

In truth, as long as crocodiles aren't particularly hungry, they won't proactively attack what they see as larger-sized humans.

Moreover, Joe Ga and the others, being two-legged creatures, have been offering the fish they catch as protection fees, so the big crocodile has been relatively amiable.

Aside from occasionally scaring Tony into a scream, Joe Ga and the others got along pretty well with it.

Joe Ga, dragging the giant pacu piranha a few steps onto the shore, threw it onto the ground and used a stick to knock its head hard...

After confirming that the big fish was motionless, he pried open its mouth, and seeing the human-like teeth, he laughed and said, "Why do they say this thing eats people? I think fish with teeth like this usually eat fruit..."

Dorian nodded, saying, "Yep, they look for fruit on people. Brazil has several men every year who get their fruits bitten off by it.

FUCK, why are the fish in the Amazon so bizarre?"

Medic Bird came over to look at their meal for the day and smiled, "Come on, this isn't bad. Do you know what Brazil's most disgusting fish is?

I saw an idiot swimming naked in the river, and two candiru fish swam up into his second...

The idiot didn't even scream this loud when he got shot in Aqionghan!"

Taking over the big fish, Medic Bird laughed, "This kind of fish has parasites, it's best pan-fried.

Let me handle this, then we'll wait to see the boss's skill."

Joe Ga smiled and nodded, "If Iron Shovel were here, that guy's the real chef, much better than an amateur like me."

Then Joe Ga looked at Dorian beside him and asked, "Did you get in touch with 'Kitten' and the others just now?

How long until they arrive?"

Dorian shrugged and said, "Boss, the map shows we're just 480 kilometers in a straight line from the resort, but to sail here takes at least 8–10 days.

However, the people coming from the Colombia direction can reach us faster, only needing to drift down the river, and they'll reach the main river channel 15 kilometers northwest of us in just 4 days.

"Boss, we need to be careful, there's quite a number of opponents this time."

Joe Ga listened, nodded slightly, and said, "Then speed up the drones, this constant on-and-off communication is making me uncomfortable.

The Winged Dragon can carry 8 Blue Swords, combined with the Talus system, it's enough to block off the surrounding rivers and provide us cover."

Dorian nodded and leaned closer to Boss Joe, whispering, "Boss, Dragon Gecko is coming...

Word is he's in a bad mood, Spider and Leech got beaten up by him."

Joe Ga blinked and said, "Why are you looking at me? Dragon Gecko won't hit me…"

With that, Joe Ga patted Dorian on the arm with a cheerful smile, saying, "Don't worry, just close your eyes, and Dragon Gecko's fury will pass.

The old guy values Igor more than his own life, it's not easy for him, let him vent a bit, I'll give you a raise later."

Dorian looked at Boss Joe as if he were seeing a ghost, hesitated, and then said, "Boss, honestly, I'm not afraid of him, I just feel sorry for that kid Igor.

Yeah, that kid has it really tough..."

Joe Ga listened and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Indeed, it's tough, whose kid is taken out to fight just after a month's birthday?"

While the two were talking, Tony, who had been busy, suddenly pushed open the plane window, poked his head out and shouted, "Boss, come take a look, I found something…"

Joe Ga and Dorian exchanged a glance and quickly rushed into the cabin...

Looking at the monitor images, wisps of smoke were rising from the jungle, clearly someone had started a fire.

Joe Ga frowned and said, "What's this? Someone's making a fire in the jungle?

The Colombians wouldn't arrive so quickly; is it the natives?"

Tony quickly tapped a few keys on the keyboard and excitedly said, "Boss, look at this…"

The footage from a small drone wasn't very clear, but Joe Ga still recognized it as a crashed plane.

Due to the dense vegetation and the angle of the crash, the drone could only spot it when it was directly south; in a few days, the wild-growing plants would surely bury it.

Joe Ga and Dorian exchanged a look, then said, "The people on the plane are still alive…"

Tony excitedly said, "Boss, there must be survivors, should we go rescue them?"

Joe Ga thought about the passengers on that plane, besides the pilot, there was a woman and four children...

It's the fourth day since the crash; if we don't help, they probably won't last long.

Joe Ga hesitated for a moment, then said, "How far is the smoke from us?"

Tony tapped a few keys on the keyboard again and said, "A straight-line distance of 9 kilometers, under normal circumstances…"

Joe Ga waved his hand, saying, "There are no normal circumstances in the jungle; 9 kilometers could take us three days..."

He pondered seriously for a moment, then pointed at the river on the screen and said, "Tell 'Kitten' to rendezvous with us here.

We'll pack up and head out immediately.

I crashed for their sake, we must rescue them and let them say 'thank you' to me!"

Tony excitedly said, "Yes sir! Packing up and heading out immediately!"

Joe Ga looked at the hesitant Dorian and said with a smile, "Don't worry, time-wise we still have some advantage…

Change gear!

The jungle is anything but friendly, we have a tough battle ahead of us!"

Dorian listened, bitterly smiled, and nodded, saying, "Alright, just nine kilometers, it's not too hard..."

With that, Dorian got off the plane, walked to a box, stripped down to just his underwear, and put on a set of Talus flexible exoskeleton…

After getting used to moving around in the exoskeleton, Dorian put on a set of jungle camouflage, then sat on the ground and began sorting ammunition from the box.

A UMP45 fitted with a silencer, an M4 shotgun, and jungle combat essential grenades…

Boss Joe looked at the excited Tony, and with a smile, said, "Tony, you're our communications scout now, go get ready."

Tony pointed at his nose, excitedly shouting, "Boss, can I also use the Talus exoskeleton?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Of course, it's nothing precious!

Without it, you won't be able to carry your stuff far in the jungle!"
