Chapter 1562 - Order on the Prairie (2/2)

NAC people were not foolish.

One bag of cement could be sold for the price of two. Even if the Zhao Group had to transport the cement from Wanghai, it was still substantially cheaper compared to the local cement. Moreover, the amount of cement they produced made people wonder how long their factories had been running for, and how long since their local construction teams worked on projects.

But there was one thing Feng Yuan didn’t expect.

Those African businessmen…or those tribes who do business, mostly operated poorly not entirely because of laziness, but because their businesses were mostly side-hustles, and banditry was their main line of work.

The bloody survival of the fittest was the normal state on the prairie.

On the first Sunday, after the last mu was harvested in the development zone, Feng Yuan gained a deep realization of this.

As usual, Feng Yuan threw the shotgun into the trunk of his vehicle, picked up Lusangbo and two guards, and prepared to head to the African savannah to catch some game. However, before they left, they were forced back by the sound of sirens from the settlement.

“What happened?”

After Feng Yuan jumped out of the car, he caught an officer who was running towards the wall and hurriedly asked.

“Report! Our food delivery team was hijacked by unknown armed forces. Ten trucks and twenty employees in the vehicles were taken hostage. Eight of the ten bodyguards were unfortunately killed…”

Feng Yuan’s heart immediately stuttered for a second. His top priority was no longer the dozens of tons of food on the vehicles, but the lives of the twenty employees. If any of the lives were lost, as the manager, he was definitely going to have to take responsibility.

“Where are those mercenaries?!”

“They said that the tribe was a close relative of the War Chief, and they didn’t dare to fight against them. We resisted until the end but were overwhelmed by the number of enemies.” The officer gritted his teeth angrily.

Feng Yuan was so angry that he cussed out.

These bastards are not taking any less money, but when they are asked to fight, they are more scared than anyone. If it were in Wanghai, even the mercenary group with the worst reputation would fight, instead of running away without firing a single shot.

“Report! Two kilometers ahead, unknown armed forces are approaching!”

There was a shout from the wall.

The officer looked at Feng Yuan anxiously.

Feng Yuan understood immediately and said quickly.

“Hurry and go now.”

“Roger!” The officer gave a military salute and ran towards the stairs.

Feng Yuan grinded his teeth, glared at Lusangbo, who looked calm and collected, then called the wizard to go up the wall. He took the binoculars from the soldier next to him and looked in the direction of the highway.

After Feng Yuan saw the scene, his expression changed drastically.

They certainly encountered militants who came to seek for trouble before, but at most, there were only two to three trucks and less than twenty rifles. The sentry tower just had to fire the machine gun before those militants fled.

But now, when Feng Yuan watched the billowing dust in the distance, he started to panic

Thirty trucks were approaching the development zone. He didn’t know whether they were armed with heavy weapons, but based on his understanding of Africa, the tribes with more trucks were more powerful. Moreover, these people chose the sensitive time when the first batch of crops had just been harvested in the development zone.

There was no doubt that the enemy came prepared.
