Mercenary’s War

When the military doctor came to start treating Nate’s legs, Gao Yang casually tossed away all the grenades strapped to the unconscious Nate.

After handing the pistols, military knives, and similar personal items to Nate’s subordinates for safekeeping, Gao Yang sat beside Nate, his pistol deliberately or inadvertently pointed at Nate’s head.

"Everyone, there’s no need to point guns at me anymore, right? We’re so familiar with each other, you wouldn’t feel right shooting me in the head, would you? Since you wouldn’t feel right using the gun, why even point it at me?"

"Ram! You’re an asshole! You damned bastard, don’t impose your ideas on us. You don’t understand anything, interfering with others’ freedom under the pretense of goodwill. I really want to shoot you!"

When someone expressed their gritted-teeth opposition to his actions, Gao Yang had no intention of engaging in a debate. He simply waved his hand and said, "Stop this nonsense, get on the helicopter and leave here. I want to keep you alive, whether you want to or not. Talk to me again when Nate wakes up."

The few people standing in front of Gao Yang didn’t move. Once they realized it was all a scheme, they were conflicted about how to deal with Gao Yang.

Should they shoot Gao Yang dead, or just get on the helicopter and leave as he said? Angel’s people were really torn.

Gao Yang pointed his pistol at Nate’s head and said sternly, "Now, if you don’t do as I say, I’ll blow his head off. That’s the threat, and Nate is my hostage. If you do as I say now, then decide once Nate wakes up. I won’t take your guns; if you still want to kill me then, you’ll still have the chance, right?"

After saying that, Gao Yang checked his watch and then said, "I’ve already ordered the forces to surrender to the militia by 9 AM. The 15th Independent Artillery Regiment has completed its surrender to the Government Forces by now. You have more important things to do, orders!"

After shouting the orders, Gao Yang addressed those who couldn’t help but stand at attention, "Team One, go to the secret base to pack up the bodies of your comrades and bring them. Team Two, escort me and Nate to Kiev, board the helicopter immediately! Move!"

"Why should we listen to you?"

"If you don’t listen, I’ll blow Nate’s head off."

"The helicopter doesn’t have enough fuel to get to Kiev."

"Then go back to the secret base to refuel quickly. Don’t forget to pick up Sirte at the field hospital. Leave the wounded you brought here, and we’ll take them on my helicopter. They’ll get better treatment in Kiev. Gentlemen, you have more important things to do than committing suicide, so get moving. That’s an order!"

Gao Yang emphasized once more that it was an order. One of Angel’s people couldn’t help but say, "You don’t have the authority to order us, Ram."

Ram supposedly didn’t have the authority to order them around, but after whispering among themselves, the people of Angel still dispersed.

Gao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief; only the military doctor tending to Nate and himself remained.

"Honestly, you’re really stubborn. I gave you such a good opportunity, and you don’t want it? Are you stupid?"

No one had a gun pointed at his head anymore, so Gao Yang grew bolder. After rambling a few words to the only person he could talk to—the military doctor—Gao Yang took out a walkie-talkie and said sternly, "It’s done. Send the helicopter over."

The military doctor was still bandaging Nate and suddenly said, "Actually, I understand you, thank you."

Gao Yang said with interest, "Oh? You understand me? Really?"

"As a military doctor, it’s my duty to save lives. Watching my comrades die one after another is very painful."

Gao Yang said, lost in thought, "It’s rare to find someone who understands. Wizard is dead, Scarface is dead; many people have died, enduring the pain of losing comrades over and over. How do you cope?"

The military doctor said indifferently, "Life is meaningless; dying isn’t the greatest pain. My duty has put me through great pain, but following the lieutenant colonel and other comrades to death isn’t hard to accept. It was Scarface’s luck to die early, whereas I can’t abandon my duty."

Gao Yang waved his hand weakly and said, "You’re stubborn too. Let’s leave it. Talking to you shortens my lifespan."

The helicopter arrived, the one Gao Yang had brought. When Joseph jumped off the helicopter and ran to Gao Yang’s side, he was immediately startled.

"F**k! You actually shot Nate, and not just once but in both his legs? That wasn’t part of the plan, Boss."

Gao Yang exhaled and said to Joseph, "I had no choice. As long as he could move, Nate would keep getting himself killed. People like him are too stubborn, so I just shot his legs. Now he can’t even move if he wants to die."

Joseph said helplessly, "You shot his legs, aren’t you afraid he’ll shoot you in the head?"

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "If I hadn’t shot his legs, he’d have blown my head off too. Once he realized he was deceived, he’d desperately want to blow my head off, so I decided to change my plan and take him down directly. This way, I’m a bit safer."

Joseph glanced around and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Sent them off, told them to bring Sirte and their comrades’ bodies back before leaving. Don’t worry, as long as Nate is in our hands, they’ll definitely come."

Joseph sighed and asked, "How will this end?"

Gao Yang chuckled dismissively and pointed at Nate, who was lying on the ground, "Look at him, both legs are useless. He can’t possibly go to war in a wheelchair, can he? He won’t move for at least two months, and in two months his thoughts will surely change. So this is over; Angel’s seeds are preserved."

After saying this, Gao Yang smugly declared, "I’ve saved Angel, Porcupine. I rescued Angel. You have to understand that saving a team bent on self-destruction is harder than rescuing them on the battlefield. I must say, I’m a genius! I’m really too smart!"

"Alright, further surgery is needed, but there won’t be any problems in the next few hours."

The military doctor’s words interrupted Gao Yang’s self-praise. Gao Yang waved his hand and said to Joseph, "Get him on the helicopter. Don’t forget to tie Nate’s hands, and let’s get out of here."

The military doctor urgently said, "You said you’d wait for us to escort you, and you can’t treat our lieutenant colonel like that!"

Gao Yang smiled, "I lied to you. Do I still need an escort? In Ukraine, my plane can fly anywhere. I’ll inform them where to meet later. Alright, get your boss on the plane, and if you keep whining, I’ll tie you up too."

Joseph sighed and said, "Boss, when I asked how this ends, I meant what to do when Nate wakes up."

Gao Yang was taken aback and then sighed, looking pained, "Well, let’s think about it when he wakes up. I’ll ponder for now, ponder for now."
