Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2362 - 2338: Old Foes

When giving nicknames to others, high and mighty nicknames don’t catch on; it’s the sneaky or personally offensive ones that make an impact.

For example, Vorvitsky is very thin, so nicknames like "lamp post" or "bamboo stick" for skinny people immediately come to mind without any effort.

Vorvitsky is very unhappy with his nickname, and he loudly said, "No way, such a nickname is absolutely not okay!"

Actually, this is just a temporary nickname, and Gao Yang even considered changing everyone’s nicknames, because as Satan became famous, some nicknames have already spread out, and if we keep using the usual nicknames, there’s a chance someone might hear them.

But changing nicknames might lead to confusion in heated moments, or even forgetting them, so Gao Yang decided to give up on the idea of renaming everyone and just let the newcomers pick their own nicknames.

We can’t waste time over nicknames forever, especially since they’re temporary. Realizing Vorvitsky wasn’t willing to be called "bamboo stick," Gao Yang casually said, "Then quickly think of a nickname. Simple. Just pick an animal you like and use it as your nickname, quickly."

Vorvitsky said with some distress, "I don’t have any animal I particularly like."

Gao Yang gave Vorvitsky a once-over and said nonchalantly, "Then how about ’snake’? You’re skinny like a stick, so a snake suits you; you’re a top student, so let’s call you ’Cobra.’

Vorvitsky puzzledly asked, "What’s the connection between a top student and a cobra?"

"They both have glasses."

"But I don’t wear glasses."

"Shut up, you’ll be called Cobra from now on. It’s a mighty nickname. Be thankful I didn’t call you Earthworm."

After forcefully giving Vorvitsky a nickname, Gao Yang looked at Joseph, nodded, and laughed, "Do you have a nickname? How about ’underwear’?"

The way Joseph categorized bodyguards by clothing left a deep impression on Gao Yang, so he jokingly offered an impossible nickname.

Sure enough, Joseph immediately said, "Glove, just call me Glove! If anyone calls me underwear, I’ll flip out!"

Gao Yang laughed heartily, "Alright, the newcomers all have nicknames. Let’s eat, and head out once we’re done."

At this moment, Glolov solemnly said, "It’s bad luck."

"Huh?"

Glolov looked at everyone and said seriously, "The nicknames for Peter and Joseph aren’t animals, and neither is the squad leader’s. It’s bad luck."

Gao Yang hesitated, then Peter spoke nonchalantly, "It’s just a nickname, what’s unlucky about it? Besides, it’s just temporary. Real nicknames aren’t easily given. Let’s wait until after this battle to change them."

Glolov didn’t insist too much, since the concept of bad luck is indeed superstitious. Those who believe take it seriously, while those who don’t naturally disregard it.

Glolov just nodded and stopped insisting.

Gao Yang also thought it was just a temporary name, so there’s no need to change it again. He said solemnly, "Alright, let’s eat, then adjust the radio frequency, use it when we set off, and everyone must wear bulletproof vests."

Peter said solemnly, "Boss, if we wear bulletproof vests, we’ll stand out, especially with helmets; our disguise will be meaningless."

Gao Yang sighed, "We can hold off on helmets for now, but they need to be ready. If necessary, it’s better to be exposed than to not wear a helmet. As for bulletproof vests, they can be worn under clothes, so they must stay on. That’s an order."

After saying this, Gao Yang waved his hand, "Eat and set off, hurry up and eat."

The rest is clear to everyone, just pack all the combat gear, check the guns and ammo, and head out.

With a highly mobile team, the biggest advantage is naturally fast movement.

After eating, tidying up, they descended from the mountain into the city, and by the time they met with Lavagani, only two hours had passed. During this chaotic panic, their speed was already impressive.

The war hasn’t started yet, but the atmosphere in Sanaa City is already tense. Naturally, for most ordinary people, life goes on as usual, and a military conflict isn’t much of a concern; they’re used to it. But for those with an agenda, it’s the tense moment before a war could break out.

Abdullah by rights shouldn’t have come to Sanaa, but he personally entered the city, along with his brothers and cousins, of course, including Lavagani.

Everyone knows what kind of shady plan Lavagani is up to. Although benefiting himself by intentionally being used by Lavagani, being used is ultimately unpleasant, no matter if it’s voluntary or not.

Gao Yang had no desire to waste words with Lavagani now. Whatever happens tonight, many results are already destined, so upon meeting Abdullah and Lavagani, Gao Yang didn’t bother with idle chatter.

"Give us a rundown, who are the enemies, how many, their precise location, and what are the combat objectives?"

Before Abdullah could speak, Lavagani said seriously, "The enemies are intelligence personnel from Saudi Arabia, totaling around a hundred, the majority from the Shah Intelligence Agency. Less than half have combat capability, and the rest are clerical staff. But these Saudi intelligence personnel are very capable fighters, so we need Mr. Petram to quickly deal with them."

Lavagani overstepped his role once again, but to Gao Yang’s surprise, Lavagani went ahead and revealed they were Saudi intelligence personnel. He probably knew he couldn’t hide it, and it was better to openly disclose it, turning a covert plan into a transparent one. If Gao Yang was unwilling to go, it obviously signified a lack of Russian commitment, and if he agreed, it conveniently implicated Russia.

"It’s the Shah Intelligence Agency, old adversaries."

Gao Yang casually mentioned, a slip of the tongue, because he recently had many dealings with the Shah Intelligence Agency. But realizing he had said something he shouldn’t, Gao Yang didn’t mind, since the KGB and Shah Intelligence Agency are indeed long-standing rivals.

After the mention, Gao Yang looked at Abdullah, "What should be done with these men, wipe them out entirely, or?"

Abdullah immediately replied, "Try to capture them alive."

Gao Yang then said, "Alright, try to capture them alive. So where are they specifically located?"

Gao Yang knew their precise location but still asked, and Abdullah immediately said, "Salim knows and can directly lead you there!"

Gao Yang spread his hands, "No need to hesitate. Go and start the fight, right?"

Abdullah nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

Gao Yang immediately turned around, waved at Salim, and shouted loudly, "Let’s go, commence the fight!"
