Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
Coro Island was the main island located on the southernmost tip of the Pannu Islands. Northwest of the island was Country F, and southwest of it was Australia and New Guinea. Finally, to the direct south was New Zealand.
The only airport in the country was situated on Coro Island. On the southernmost tip of this island was also the only deep water harbor of the country- built by Johnny International at the cost of over a million USD.
Typically speaking, these massive deepwater harbors would have a ring of factories surrounding it. But with the pillar industries of Pannu Islands being fishery and farming, the commonality didn't seem to apply.
Beside the deepwater harbor was only three warehouses.
A brown-skinned local was chewing on a sugarcane as he sat outside the outermost warehouse, guarding the door.
His name is Cassan, a native of the Pannu Islands. He wasn't well educated, but he could do the job of a security guard very well. His daily task was to sit in front of the warehouse, guard the phone, help when goods need to be offloaded, and chew on sugarcane when there was nothing to do.
When the five Senatas stopped in front of the gate, the young man glanced enviously at the cars a few times before throwing away the sugarcane in his mouth and walking towards them.
”Celestial Trade, this is my company here,” Jiang Chen introduced to Ivan as they got off the car.
Though it was only a shell company with a security guard. All the business was outsourced to elsewhere.
”Celestial? That's a weird name,” Looking at the letters on the giant warehouse, Ivan exclaimed.
As they chit-chatted, the security guard Cassan walked in front of them and smiled at Jiang Chen.
”Boss, why are you here?”
Jiang Chen arrived in the Pannu Islands two days ago but he had been busy with other things, so it was his first time here. Seeing the boss here personally, Cassan was very surprised.
”Nothing, just open the door for me.”
”Which one?”
”Warehouse three.”
”Okay, okay!” Cassan nodded as he immediately took out the key and ran to open the metal gate.
After sending Cassan outside, Jiang Chen signaled Ivan and the crew to walk into the warehouse and stand in front of a container.
After dragging the container open, there was a row of automatic rifles inside.
It was not the reaper rifles he brought back from the apocalypse, they were the standard M series assault rifles common on the black market, and also the civilian type.
”Mission?” Ivan immediately put on a serious expression.
The 14 people behind him also lined up waiting for Jiang Chen's order.
”Don't be anxious, there is still some time before the show really starts. This mission is only a warm-up.” Jiang Chen signaled them not to be too tense.
Jiang Chen cleared his throat and pointed at the weapons in the container.
”Considering the deterioration of the Pannu Islands' political situation, for the time being, the security of these warehouses will depend on you. There are 15 gun licenses in the container. I requested it through a special channel from the current regime. You can use them once you write your name on the licenses. To people attempting to break into the warehouses, first time fire a warning shot, second time shooting is permitted.
”Yes!” Ivan answered affirmatively.
As to Jiang Chen's mission, he had no other questions, as was the same for the soldiers behind him.
Jiang Chen nodded. He was delighted by the veteran's attitude.
”There are materials here to construct a temporary camp. All in all, the security here will be up to you.”
”Leave it to us.” Ivan smiled.
He then cleanly turned around, looked at his comrades, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
”Did you understand the mission!”
