Chapter 1097: Being the Leader of Ares (2)
"Where is it?" After searching for a while, the lieutenant found a person floating on the river in the distance. He quickly took off his body and tried to save the person regardless of his life. Ju Bo next to him quickly grabbed him: "Your injury has not healed yet, I'll go." Without saying anything, he took off his coat and jumped into the river.
"Xiao Zhu, be careful and be sure to save the person alive."
The river was not very cold, and Ju Bo swam more than ten meters in one go. Ju Bo on the shore was agile, and Ju Bo in the water was not much worse. He was as flexible as a fish in the water. Soon, he swam to the person. When he saw the latter, he recognized that this person was Xiang Xu. It seemed that the shock wave generated by the explosion of the speedboat just now shocked him. Ju Bo did not dare to delay, so he quickly held Xiang Xu's back and swam towards the cargo ship little by little.
Not long after, Junbo pushed the man to the near side of the cargo ship. Seeing this, the two brothers from the Golden Triangle immediately jumped into the water to help Junbo transport the man onto the ship.
"Hurry, hurry, check if there is any wound first, and then clean up if there is any water in the abdomen." Xie Wendong looked nervous and directed his brothers who knew medicine to check it out quickly.
After careful examination, Xiang Xu had no fatal injuries on his body. He should have been shocked by the air waves caused by the explosion. If an ordinary person had experienced such a big explosion, his body would have been broken apart. But he was just shocked. It is not difficult to see how fast Xiang Xu's reaction was. He actually smelled the scent of danger one or two seconds before the explosion and jumped off the ship in advance.
The brother pinched the man and drained the accumulated water from his abdomen. After working hard for a while, Xiang Xu finally slowly opened his eyes.
"How is the enemy's ship?" Xiang Xu's first words after waking up were to ask about the situation of the armed ship.
Seeing Xiang Xu awaken safely, a big stone in Xie Wendong's heart fell to the ground. He sighed with a long sigh and said with a smile: "The enemy has been beaten away by us. We are safe at present. By the way, how do you feel now, Brother Xiang?"
Xiang Xu shook his head, which was a little confused, and held his forehead and said, "I'm fine, thank you sir. By the way, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We should leave here as soon as possible."
"You don't have to worry about this anymore. I will arrange for someone to come and help Mr. Xiang to rest. Others will continue to drain and plug the leaks. Once the conditions are available, the ship will start immediately." Xie Wendong ordered.
I agreed to the left and right and started working hard.
After about an hour, the hull was barely repaired, the cabin was no longer leaking, and the damaged instruments were basically repaired.
With a "flute", the cargo ship set sail again.
The cargo ship sailed forward for more than an hour before meeting the reinforcements from the Golden Triangle who came to pick up the Golden Triangle. After the two sides merged, they began to go to the Golden Triangle area. As for the armed force that interrupted the attack on the Golden Triangle cargo ship on the Mekong River, the general of the Golden Triangle had already spoken that if he wanted to kill a warning, he must wipe it out in the shortest time. It also made the tribes and forces nearby understand that although the strength of the Golden Triangle is not as strong as before, it is still the well-deserved master of this area.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Xie Wendong. Xie Wendong came here with only one purpose, that is, to rescue the old ghost.
After another half an hour, they finally came up from the Mekong River. After crossing a jungle, they officially stepped into the Golden Triangle.
At this time, the sky was just dawn. Although the three words "Golden Triangle" are notorious, the scenery here is indeed very beautiful. People and nature live in harmony, and it is rare to see the scene of large-scale destruction of vegetation. It retains a very primitive appearance here. The scenery here is so beautiful, and the air is of course not much worse. Taking a breath will make people feel refreshed and intoxicated by the body and mind.
The group came to a town, and every three days the town would hold a market. People from nearby villages returned to the market to purchase some daily necessities, and some people carried their own vegetables and mountain goods to come here to sell it, which was very lively. Here, opium trading was completely public. Some vendors directly marked the opium paste into piles, and waited leisurely for customers to come to the door with hookahs.
These customers who buy opium may come from the local area or from outside, so there are still many foreigners on the street.
Of course, compared with the Golden Triangle, these opium output is simply a hair on Jiuniu. More than 80% of the farmers who grow opium in the Golden Triangle area sell their own opium directly to Lao Gui and others. Of course, the price they sell is extremely low. After the drug lords such as Lao Gui and Xie Wendong, opium that was originally as cheap as cabbage can be sold immediately in the international market. This is the huge profits generated by drug trafficking. Of course, the risks are also quite large.
In recent years, the Golden Triangle business has not been easy to do. Not only are the large number of farmers who grow poppy plants called by the government and changed to rice and wheat, but cooperation between several governments has also been increasing.
Take this year's output as an example, it is only half of the output in the same period in previous years. Xie Wendong is in charge of two of the world's six major poison sources, and other industries are developing extremely rapidly, and even if there is no 80% share of the Golden Triangle, it will not have much impact on him.
But the Golden Triangle is different. Drugs are their only lifeblood. Without opium, they have no money, they cannot buy guns without money, and without guns, they can only be eaten step by step.
If this continues, the Golden Triangle will lose the throne of one of the six major poison sources in the world within the next twenty years.
A simple but important truth can also be reflected from the Golden Triangle.
When society is changing, people should also change with society. Only when people adapt to society can they not be abandoned by society. If they are self-consistent, they can only be gradually eliminated by reality.
Under Huang Wencong's leadership, the group came to an old house on the street.
After a while, several military green military vehicles parked at the door of the old house.
"Mr. Xie, should we come here to rest first, or wait for our base camp to rest?" Huang Wencong asked.
Xie Wendong looked at the furnishings in the old house and obviously could not satisfy the rest and sleep of his hundreds of brothers. Instead of delaying here, it would be better to arrive at his destination early and rest with peace of mind.
He picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and took a sip of water, and replied, "Captain Huang, let's go to the base camp to rest."
"Then please invite Mr. Xie and everyone in the car." Huang Wencong waved his hand and greeted the brothers from the Golden Triangle beside him to sit on first. Then he began to pick up the heavy equipment on everyone and everyone.
