for too long, after a brief celebration and a moment of sentiment, Gao Yang quickly got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the light from his flashlight, he meticulously observed the tracks on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since he left the Great Sudanese Grasslands, and Gao Yang had never thought that one day he would need to use his tracking skills again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Car tracks left on the sand were much easier to recognize than the marks animals left on grasslands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick glance, Gao Yang had a good idea of what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing the car tracks, Gao Yang shouted, “Clean up the equipment, get rid of the useless stuff, and prepare for immediate combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re moving out right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Gao Yang took out his satellite phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been wanting to call Big Brother Morgan, but there was no signal in the underground tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Morgan picked up the call, he said anxiously, “Gao, how are things on your end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposition has already announced the capture of the Aziziya Barracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you guys okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve made it out with no one dead or injured, all intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listen, I’ve found Abdul’s traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was taken by Hamis because Abdul said he was an American spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could provide Hamis with a passage to leave Libya, so I think he’s safe for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m following Hamis’s trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to reliable information, Hamis is headed towards Sirte.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have any ideas?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abdul said he’s an American spy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s bluffing Hamis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the CIA a long time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s been working for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has no ties to Washington D.C., so only I will try to rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than me, he won’t get any help, and his cover will be blown soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, I need to think of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao, tell me carefully, how did you find his trail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gao Yang precisely explained how he spotted Abdul and how he captured a prisoner, from whom he got the information, Cui Bo suddenly spoke out loud, “The car’s navigation has a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty kilometers ahead of us, there’s a place called Tayr Hunay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang asked Morgan to wait a moment, then took out a map of Libya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After locating Tayr Hunay on the map, he immediately said to Morgan, “There’s a new development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe we’ve been following Hamis this whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to our car’s navigation, Tayr Hunay is about twenty kilometers ahead of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is not on the route to Sirte.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get to Sirte, we should be following the coastline, but we are now deviating from that path and heading further into the desert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, I know that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s indeed not on the main route to Sirte.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key point is that the opposition hasn’t taken control of that area yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, Gao, do me a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can, try your best to keep following Hamis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s worked for me for ten years and, apart from work relations, we’re also close friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really don’t want him to be harmed, so please help me and Abdul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was talking to Morgan on the phone, Gao Yang still nodded and said, “Understood, I will continue the pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abdul has helped us a lot, and we are sure not to abandon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So please rest easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew you would do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You always bring hope to people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will get the opposition I am collaborating with to rescue Abdul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really want to catch Hamis, so they will surely go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the armed opposition arrives, do not act on your own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to lose two friends at the same time, Gao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded again and said, “I understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not going to talk any longer; wait for my call, goodbye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang said in a grave tone, “Brothers, now you all know the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must go and rescue Abdul, but Morgan said he could get the opposition to help us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems we’re back on the side of the opposition again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo laughed heartily and said loudly, “This is the true nature of being a mercenary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Throw all the useless stuff into the trunk; we need to be ready for combat inside the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unless absolutely necessary, do not open fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our main task now is to bring home the money we’ve worked so hard to earn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang and his team were carrying too much cash, plus the spoils from the palace, all piled up inside the vehicle, taking up a lot of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid these things hindering movement in case of a battle, it was better to put them in the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang opened the trunk only to find two long metal boxes inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang was taken aback and asked, “What are these?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal boxes were not locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang casually lifted the lid of one box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he saw what was inside, he was immediately stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the metal box were gold bars, neatly arranged in a row of six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rubbing his eyes hard, making sure he was seeing correctly, Gao Yang said with a trembling voice, “Brothers, come and see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time we’ve really struck it rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gao Yang’s exclamation, several people ran over to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the contents of the box, everyone’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grollov’s eyes were bulging as he stammered, “Gold bars, so many gold bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s my first time seeing them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my first time as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also Gao Yang’s first time seeing gold bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unconsciously nodded, then reached into the box to take out a bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the weight of the gold bar exceeded his expectations, and he could not lift it with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used both hands to finally lift a gold bar out of the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were markings on the gold bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang held the heavy bar in his hands and after looking at the inscriptions said with a quivering voice, “Brothers, this is a standard gold bar from the London International Financial Futures Exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It weighs four hundred ounces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Converted to the metric system, each troy ounce is a bit over thirty-one grams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hundred ounces, that’s over twelve kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guys, who knows the current price of gold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grollov raised his hand and, after struggling to swallow, said in a low voice, “I happened to see on the news a while ago that the gold price in South Africa was over sixteen hundred US dollars an ounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the price fluctuations, we can calculate it at one thousand five hundred dollars an ounce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing a quick mental calculation, Gao Yang uttered with a quiver, “Four hundred multiplied by fifteen hundred…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>holy shit, a single gold bar is worth six hundred thousand US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One bar is worth six hundred thousand, and there are two boxes here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there are a total of twelve gold bars…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Gao Yang couldn’t help but gasp, then continued with a shaky voice, “If there are twelve gold bars, we have seven million two hundred thousand US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brothers, this time we’ve really struck it rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-06T10:19:38.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","188bcafbff465c567333fc86c5e95871d1b0afc73c0f6cf38855407da0846d53","mercenary-s-war-chapter-140","mercenary-s-war-chapter-138",2343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmercenary-s-war-cover.jpg"]
