Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2376 - 2352: Too Early

Gao Yang was feeling a bit annoyed, so he didn’t go to see Abdullah. Instead, he took part of the Dagger Assault Team and Satan’s people to a military hospital and stole enough supplies.

Actually, it was just annoyance, nothing more. And the reason for Gao Yang’s annoyance wasn’t Abdullah, but himself.

Gao Yang still felt uneasy about his actions, so he decided to try and save the wounded he’d used as cannon fodder, to alleviate his inner unease and his self-loathing.

Gao Yang tried to be a mercenary in the right way, but he wasn’t a cold-blooded person, which was his biggest problem now.

The process of robbing a military hospital was not worth mentioning, as it was just a small hospital guarded by a few soldiers. When the world’s best Mercenary Group led a bunch of cannon fodder to rob a hospital, and the target was just some common medicines, the process couldn’t be too difficult.

So, when Gao Yang and his team returned to the temporary camp they set up in the mountains, they weren’t much later than Andy He, who had set off earlier. As a result, when he came back with a truckload of supplies, Andy He and Albert hadn’t even completed their first surgery.

After delivering the supplies to a tent they temporarily borrowed, Gao Yang softly asked Andy He, who was focused on surgery, "Can you talk?"

"I can. Did you find the supplies?"

Andy He didn’t look up, his voice muffled by the mask he wore.

"Yes, not as good as we’d use ourselves, but they are common medicines, and I brought back some plasma too."

"Good, in that case, at most, three more people will die, the others should be saved."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "Alright, thanks for your hard work. I’ll head out."

Andy He was doing surgeries in one tent, while Albert was providing first aid in another, mainly stopping bleeding, then organizing the most urgent cases by severity. Their cooperation and division of labor were very efficient.

Satan had dual cats, which was a blessing for all the Satan members.

Outside, the Dagger Assault Team was in a bit of a disarray. Peter was giving a lecture to these lucky ones. Seeing Gao Yang approach, Peter stopped and asked, "Do you want to say something?"

Gao Yang stood before the slightly chaotic crowd, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "I don’t mean to insult you, but I must say you are really too weak."

The crowd quickly quieted down. The expressions towards Gao Yang were complex, with gratitude and hostility, but now there was an added genuine respect.

After contemplating for a moment, Gao Yang said seriously, "I originally didn’t plan to train you, since you’re veterans, and veterans are hard to retrain. But after tonight’s battle, I think it’s better to let you undergo some training. Now you all surely know that I have the right to say you’re weak, so you should seriously listen to what I have to say, and be grateful for the training I’m going to give you."

Gao Yang was speaking confidently, and those who were previously disdainful or even hostile did not show any resentment towards his words.

It wasn’t about Gao Yang’s identity, but because the combat strength of people led by Gao Yang made everyone genuinely respect him.

Whether they liked him or not didn’t matter, as long as they respected him.

Gao Yang suddenly sighed deeply, then said loudly, "I have a problem, or rather a psychological flaw, which is that I hate seeing my comrades die in front of me, especially when their deaths are due to my orders. To ensure fewer of you die in the future, preferably none, I have to spend time and effort to train you."

Peter suddenly asked, "How to train? What’s the content?"

Gao Yang looked at Peter and smiled, "That’s your problem to consider."

Peter said seriously, "This won’t be easy, but I welcome the challenge."

Gao Yang also said seriously, "I won’t interfere with your training methods, but I do have one request: Make sure they aren’t so easily killed."

Peter smiled and said in a firm tone, "That’s actually quite simple, I know how to do it."

Gao Yang was very satisfied with Peter’s answer, knowing Peter could do it. It might be troublesome, but he knew Peter would achieve it.

At this moment, Gao Yang saw Liang Dong.

Liang Dong had actually arrived some time ago, but seeing Gao Yang talking to Peter, he waited on the side.

"What’s the matter?"

Liang Dong habitually wiped his hands on his apron, then said seriously, "After a battle, everyone must be hungry. I’ve prepared a late-night meal, just waiting for your command."

Gao Yang nodded and said to the people, "Those not helping with rescue, go eat first. We’ll talk about anything after the meal."

The Dagger Assault Team members sluggishly began to move towards the two large pots, but less than half went to eat. The rest quickly ran to the two tents where the injured were being treated. They couldn’t go in, nor did they need to help, but they were willing to wait outside the tents.

Liang Dong suddenly sighed and said softly, "Made too much food, there will definitely be leftovers tonight."

It wasn’t that too much food was made, but suddenly more than fifty people were missing, so fewer people were eating.

Gao Yang looked at Liang Dong and suddenly said, "You also need to change your name or get a nickname. Think about it yourself. If someone else gives you a nickname, it might not be nice."

Liang Dong paused and said, "Do I really need to? I’m fine as is."

Gao Yang shook his head, "No, you have to change it. You’re the last one left. You need to give yourself an animal nickname, otherwise, it won’t be lucky, so you must change it."

Gao Yang was serious, so Liang Dong hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright then, I’ll think of a nickname."

At this moment, Gao Yang’s phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Justin calling, so he moved a few steps aside and answered the call.

"Did you find out?"

"I found out some things. There’s good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"I hate bad news, so let’s start with the good news."

"The good news is, without waiting for you to push, Saudi Arabia has started using mercenaries in combat, and the bad news is, the competition you’ll face will be fierce."

Gao Yang forced a smile and said, "These don’t sound like good news."

Justin said, "Why not? You don’t have to do anything now; Saudi Arabia will recruit strong Mercenary Groups. Isn’t that good news?"

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Not good news, because I’m not ready. This situation came a little too early."
