Chapter 356: Chapter 349: This is the Same Thing

The ship had no electricity, and fire wasn’t allowed on the sailboat, so when Xinghe caught a nearly 200-pound marlin, they could only eat sashimi.

The unchilled sashimi was fishy, but Gao Yuan didn’t mind since he had never eaten it before. However, the sailors, Avi, and Renato all expressed their regret for not being able to properly enjoy the marlin without ice.

But everyone still ate with great relish.

Even Gao Yuan ate a lot. Under everyone’s cover, he ate at least ten pounds of sashimi and found it quite tasty.

What was most crucial was that, whether it was psychological or due to some other reason, after eating this time, Gao Yuan didn’t throw up.

For the first time in these ten days, Gao Yuan ate a lot and didn’t vomit.

Then the sailboat made landfall. Of course, not by going directly ashore, but by ferrying people and equipment to the shore in several inflatable boats.

For any special forces soldier, paddling a dinghy was a piece of cake, and Gao Yuan was the first person to be taken ashore.

Panxin and Li Jingang jumped into the water, pushed the dinghy ashore, and when it was half in the water, half on the sand, Gao Yuan stood up. He staggered onto the long-missed land.

At that moment, Gao Yuan really felt like crying, and then he discovered a terrible truth.

Turns out getting seasick on the ship was one thing, but getting landsick after disembarking was another.

Gao Yuan felt that after getting used to the constantly swaying deck, stepping onto solid ground suddenly made his head spin.

Was the earth shaking, or was it his mind?

Gao Yuan looked to the soaking wet Panxin and Li Jingang in distress, then Panxin nodded at him, saying with sympathy, "Some people get landsick, others don’t, but you..."

Gao Yuan opened his mouth to speak, then turned his head and vomited.

When boarding the ship, at least he had managed to hold it until they left the harbor—but this time ashore, well, Gao Yuan lasted only a minute.

Gao Yuan staggered forward, not wanting to carry any equipment, not even his weapons which he never parted with.

He walked a few steps, turned his head to throw up, walked a few more steps and threw up again, until his knees gave in and he knelt on the sandy beach.

Just like in the movies, Gao Yuan knelt on the beach, raised his hands to the sky, and let out a silent scream.

"Because your physical functions are too strong, and your brain reacts too quickly,"

Xinghe squatted beside Gao Yuan, reached out to touch his hair, and said with sympathy, "Generally speaking, motion sickness tends to occur in children, and it’s less common in adults. But you’re different. Your body has been modified. You have many times the perceptual ability of an ordinary person. Once your body and brain are fully synchronized, you won’t have this problem. But for now, you’re prone to motion sickness, and it’s more severe than in ordinary people."

Gao Yuan nodded woodenly.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Basically, it meant Gao Yuan had to suffer sometimes since he always reaped the benefits.

Yu Shunzhou laughed, a sound that was definitely not schadenfreude, but Gao Yuan really felt like hitting him.

Xinghe fanned her nose with her hand and sniffed, then she sniffed again and said, "It stinks."

Gao Yuan really didn’t have the strength or ability to stand and shower, so it was no wonder that he who hadn’t bathed for ten days smelled bad.

But something was off. No matter how bad, it shouldn’t stink this much.

The soaking wet Panxin walked forward several steps, then squatted down, and shouted, "Stay alert!"

Four Russians, one dinghy. The first thing they did after coming ashore was to squat down with their guns.

Yu Shunzhou looked ahead, then turned his head away in disgust and said, "No wonder it’s so stinky."

Gao Yuan let out a breath and said, "Isn’t it me that stinks?"

Yu Shunzhou pointed ahead and said, "A dead body."

Panxin said sternly, "Stop the nonsense and stay alert! Help with the equipment!"

Yu Shunzhou was reprimanded with a sentence, and he touched his nose unnaturally, bending over to move the equipment.

Gao Yuan pulled Xinghe’s hand, making her crouch down, then he asked Panxin, "What’s the matter?"

"Corpses, time of death about three days ago, shot to death."

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I thought they were zombies. Aren’t they? Where are we? How can there be dead bodies here, and right on the beach, too? That’s impossible, right?"

Taking a breath, Gao Yuan tried to stand up. His legs were weak, his body was weak, and even the act of standing made his vision blur for a moment.

He really was too weak.

Standing up allowed him to see a little further, and then Gao Yuan saw at least a dozen corpses, along with the boundless desert.

Gao Yuan wanted to crouch down, but he lacked the strength to support himself. He felt almost the same as when he had first boarded the ship: dizzy, very dizzy, and also hungry, so hungry he was on the verge of collapsing.

The bodies were in military uniform, but Gao Yuan only noticed this because the heavily decomposed corpses completely sapped his courage to take another look.

It was too disgusting. Already feeling faint, the disgust made Gao Yuan crawl to one side and throw up for a while.

At this moment, Renato came ashore.

Just by sniffing the air, Renato said in a low voice, "The stench of decay."

After taking a few steps and seeing the bodies, Renato stopped in his tracks.

Gao Yuan had to admire Renato because, although Renato frowned, it was clear that it wasn’t the sight of the bodies that bothered him but rather the uniforms they wore.

Renato turned to Gao Yuan, let out a sigh and said softly, "Trouble. They’re all from the Biliya National Salvation Front. It seems... the situation isn’t looking good."

Gao Yuan said feebly, "What organization is that?"

Renato said with a grave expression, "They are a Biliya armed faction under Angel’s control. You can also consider them as Angel’s cannon fodder."

Gao Yuan simply lay down on the beach, slowly saying, "And what is Angel?"

Renato spread his hands and said, "Angel Mercenary Corps. Actually, my going to Afghan to find Germany soldiers was to help them bolster their numbers, and then, the Angel Mercenary Corps is financed by our group’s war loans. In plain terms, Satan Mercenary Corps is Angel Mercenary Corps’ creditor."

Gao Yuan said softly, "Oh, whoever owes money is always the boss, huh."

Scratching his head, Renato looked at the corpses again and said, "There are no Angels among them, but I think there should be more corpses around. This is troublesome. Angels must have encountered trouble. If Angel is gone, our entire investment is going to vanish."

Gao Yuan didn’t care about the life or death of a mercenary corps, and a name full of such adolescent fantasy like Angel Mercenary Corps didn’t sound like a force to be reckoned with.

But Renato looked troubled as he said, "And the most troublesome thing is, we have a doomsday base near Sirte, where we have a lot of supplies. I just hope Angel has held onto our doomsday base, otherwise, our landing at Sirte will be a disaster."

What? The base they were betting their hopes on before departure, the warehouse that had everything, was in Angel Mercenary Corps’ hands?

Gao Yuan, who was lying down, suddenly stood up, and then he said to Li Yang, "Damn, you’re not talking about the same thing, are you?"

Li Yang thought about it, then said with a bitter smile, "It seems, maybe, probably the same thing. We’re looking for Poseidon, and Poseidon is very likely with Ram. If Ram handed that base over to Angel Mercenary Corps, then, that’s the same thing..."

Renato glanced at Li Yang, then Gao Yuan, and with a look of helplessness, he said, "I knew it, Poseidon must be connected with Shenzhou, and he still desperately denied it. I knew Ram was also related to you guys. He always wanted to hide it..."

Walking a few steps forward, Renato looked around, then with a face full of helplessness, he said, "Just along the coast there are kilometers, and looking at the state of these dead bodies, they were shot from behind while fleeing in defeat. There must be more bodies nearby. Let’s search and see how many there are. I think Sirte must have already fallen, which means Abu Hadi might also be occupied by Angel’s enemies. Guys, we’re really in a bad situation."

Abu Hadi Airport, that’s the location of the secret base, a critical secret known only to Gao Yuan and Li Yang. Had Zhao Qiang not died, only three people in this team would have known the location of this base, and now Renato was casually disclosing it.

Moreover, this revealed that the base Gao Yuan’s group was searching for, which was planned to be a resupply point for the Expeditionary Army after reaching Africa, was the same one controlled by Angel Mercenary Corps. They were indeed talking about the same place.

Now, nothing else was important, what mattered was who had the base.

Just then, a sound like distant thunder began to rumble, and upon hearing this noise, Renato and Panxin both had looks of elation on their faces.

Renato joyfully said, "That’s artillery fire! And very intense, too. Great! The battle is still ongoing. Abu Hadi hasn’t fallen!"
