Chapter 4031 The Original Plan
Xu Qiang said something meaningful. Yes, if he didn't trust Bart, who else would he trust? A person who had followed him for the longest time, who chose to betray him the first time after encountering danger.
In the car, Xu Qiang said nothing, as if he had nothing to say to this traitor. At the same time, Xu Qiang was also giving Bart the last chance. If Bart could still turn back now, he didn't want to point the gun at his brother who was fighting together.
"Bart, don't you have anything to say to me on the way?"
Xu Qiang suddenly asked. Bart, who was sitting in the co-pilot, stopped his fingers from moving, slowly turned around, and smiled slightly.
"Captain, what do you want me to say? You have already made a plan for retreat. What I say about this matter doesn't count."
"Okay, I see that you seem to be worried. You seem to have something to say to me. Don't forget that our mercenary group was founded by you and me from the beginning. If you have any requests, I will meet them."
Bart didn't understand why Xu Qiang said this. It was true that Xu Qiang treated him well, but at this time, it was not a matter of treating people well. He needed to find a way to survive.
This way of life must be a sure thing. Bart has already placed the stakes on Freeman. How can he turn back? He has made up his mind.
"Captain, what you said is true. You are always good to the brothers, and I don't have any special requirements."
"If that's the case, then you can do your thing. I'll rest here for a while. It will be a busy night today."
Leaning back against the seat, Xu Qiang squinted his eyes. The atmosphere became silent again, and Bart hesitated for a moment, his fingers continued to move.
He has already informed Freeman of the arrival of the goods at the dock tonight. There are a total of five transport teams this time, and they will deliver the arms on the car to the mercenary groups that have placed orders before.
The arms business emphasizes integrity, but if this batch of arms encounters an accident during transportation, then the customers who paid before will definitely not spare Xu Qiang, and Xu Qiang's situation will become the target of public criticism.
Only in this way can Xu Qiang's mercenary group be destroyed. Freeman, who received the news, would not miss such an important opportunity. He sent out three elite teams to carry out a devastating attack on the convoy transporting arms on the way.
An hour later, Xu Qiang returned to the base. The first part of the retreating team was ready, waiting for Xu Qiang's order to withdraw from the mercenary battlefield along the planned route.
Before departure, everyone did not know what the real plan was. Even Qin Gang, a close follower, did not know Xu Qiang's intention. This operation must be kept absolutely secret.
"Okay, I have said what I should say. It would be a waste of time to continue talking here. The last sum of money from the arms business has been obtained. We should withdraw."
At Xu Qiang's order, the three teams set out from the camp and headed south. These three teams had experienced several battles before. Although they were retreating, everyone's morale was high and was not affected.
The first group of people who retreated included most of the mercenary group's strength. Only Duan Zhisheng and a few confidants around Xu Qiang were left in the camp, waiting for the second group to retreat. They had a three-hour interval to coordinate with each other.
Everyone knew that the first group of people who retreated were like a death squad, but those who stayed behind were also under pressure. Once they were discovered by Freiman, they would inevitably be attacked.
Duan Zhisheng stayed in the camp, but his greater purpose was to keep an eye on Bart. Bart had become a traitor in this team and would be eliminated sooner or later, but now was not the time.
He wanted to use Bart's traitorous means to report the wrong information to Freiman. Freiman's eyes were blinded and he had no idea what Xu Qiang's real marching route was.
Two hours later, Xu Qiang ordered everyone to rest for ten minutes and set off again ten minutes later.
A lot of things can be done in ten minutes. At this time, Xu Qiang came to Qin Gang's side. There were two people beside Qin Gang, always following him.
"Xu Qiang, where are we going? I feel confused. Are we on the right route?"
Qin Gang had some ideas. If he went south, he should pass through a grassland. This was not the way he had taken when he came here.
But the route shown on the positioning device was correct, and the compass showed that they were also heading south. With such doubts, he asked Xu Qiang.
"Of course the route is correct. You two come here. I need to tell you something."
Xu Qiang called the other two. These two people were Bart's eyes planted beside Qin Gang. Based on Bart's understanding of Qin Gang, such a careless person would not know that he had secretly done something.
"Captain..."
"Come here quickly. When we divide the money later, there will be no share for you!"
Hearing the word money, the enthusiasm of the two people was mobilized, and they immediately walked to Xu Qiang's side.
Xu Qiang had a smile on his face, and everything was normal, but at this time, he suddenly pulled out a dagger with his left hand and stabbed one person in the heart.
The other man saw that something was not right and hurriedly tried to turn around and run away, but Xu Qiang would not give him the chance. He stepped forward, raised his head, hooked the man's neck, turned over and pressed him under his knees, pressing against his neck so that he could not breathe.
He suddenly exerted force and his neck was broken. After struggling for a few times, he stopped moving. Qin Gang looked at this scene stupidly. Right in front of him, Xu Qiang killed someone, and the person he killed was his own.
"Xu Qiang, what are you doing!"
"Shh... keep your voice down!"
Xu Qiang gestured to Qin Gang. He searched through the two people and pulled out two communication devices from them by pulling a line. The communication devices were always turned on.
The things were thrown in front of Qin Gang. At this moment, Qin Gang seemed to understand something. Then Xu Qiang covered the bodies of the two with a piece of tent cloth, sat down and said.
"Qin Gang, I'm telling you now that my plan has never been to retreat, but to go north and attack Fremen."
"What? Aren't we retreating?"
"I said retreat, but before we set off, I asked a computer expert to modify the program of everyone's positioning equipment, and I changed your compass and direction."
The three teams only walked a distance south when they set out. It was impossible to tell the direction in the dark. After a while, they adjusted the direction and kept advancing north.
"The reason I say this is because there are some traitors in our team. I don't want the plan to be leaked, so I have to do this."
