Chapter 201 Lovely People
When Jiang Ning arrived at the mining area, the sun had already risen.

The white miners did not dare to escape and kept wandering around.

I saw an Asian man coming and talking to a few mercenaries.

He looks like the boss, which is quite surprising.

Why are they Asians? It turns out these Americans are working for Asians.

Asians are not easy to talk to.

The white miner stepped forward and said, "Hello, sir, can you help me?"

Jiang Ning glanced at him and looked at the sea snake.

The sea snake said, "Boss, this guy is Swiss. He said he was a humanitarian volunteer for the United Nations. He came here with his girlfriend to provide humanitarian support. When he was out playing during his break, he was caught by the militants and taken here to mine."

Jiang Ning was very surprised: "UN volunteers?"

The white miner nodded quickly: "Yes sir."

Jiang Ning asked: "Where is your girlfriend?"

The miner was distraught: "I don't know. Those damn militants detained me here to mine. They took Audrey away. I don't know what happened to Audrey. I don't even know if she is still alive."

Jiang Ning had a strange look on his face, as there were also white women imprisoned in the camp.

I wonder if this unlucky guy has a girlfriend.

The sea snake said, "We rescued several European women in the camp, maybe your girlfriend is one of them."

The white miner was instantly surprised: "Really? That's great, can you help me ask if there is Audrey?"

The sea snake refused to help: "You'll have to ask my boss about that."

The miner quickly looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning ordered: "Ask for him."

A mercenary contacts the camp.

Jiang Ning asked about the situation and found out that there was nothing wrong at the mining area.

The miners were very honest and all stayed in the mining area without coming out.

I went to take a look and it was simply unbearable to watch.

If you don't come to Africa, no one will believe that human trade still exists here. Most of these miners are sold here. In special markets in some places, miners are sold and selected by cargo owners like livestock in the markets in their hometowns.

There was no light in the miners' eyes, only numbness and confusion.

I have no clothes to wear and no meat on my body.

Just skin and bones.

The sea snake said nearby: "Boss, what should we do with these miners?"

Jiang Ning said: "Let the government take care of it!"

The sea snake said: "The government here won't care about them. If the government cared about the lives of these people, there wouldn't be so many refugees here. In fact, I think these miners can stay and continue mining."

Jiang Ning shook his head: "I don't need slave-like miners."

The sea snake spread his hands and said, "Of course, the boss can hire them."

Jiang Ning said: "These little black guys are not the best miners."

The sea snake said, "They just don't have enough to eat and have overdrawn their life force, so they are thin and weak. If the boss provides them with enough food, their physical condition can be improved. Besides, there is an advantage in hiring these people."

Jiang Ning became a little interested: "What's the benefit?"

The sea serpent incarnates as a psychologist: "Boss, I won't be grateful to you even if you give me a piece of bread, because I don't lack bread. But if you give a piece of bread to a person who is about to starve to death, he will be grateful to you. If you can feed these miners, they will be the best miners and much more obedient than the black miners hired from outside."

Jiang Ning thought about it and agreed with him: "What you said makes sense, let's see!"

The sea snake pointed to a corner of the mine and said, "Boss, there are a few Asians over there."

Jiang Ning took a quick look and said, "Bring it here and ask."

A miner ran down and brought up a few Asian miners.

Several people also had numb expressions in their eyes, looking as if they would rather die than live.

I don't know how long the mine has been mined here.

Jiang Ning asked in English: "Where are you from?"

Several miners looked confused and obviously didn't understand.

Jiang Ning asked again in French.

A few miners still don't understand.

I asked this question in several local African dialects.

A miner understood Swahili and his eyes lit up: "China, China."

Jiang Ning was a little surprised that he was actually from the same hometown, so he switched back to his native language: "How long have you been arrested?"

Several miners became excited when they heard him speak his native language.

A miner answered first: "I have been arrested for almost a year. Are you also Chinese?"

Jiang Ning hummed.

Another miner said, "I was captured three months ago. Can you give me something to eat?"

Jiang Ning waved his hand and asked a mercenary to take a few people to eat first.

Suddenly, a wailing sound was heard nearby.

Turning around, I saw the white miner from before.

Jiang Ning asked, "What's going on?"

A mercenary came over and said, "Boss, that guy knows what happened to his girlfriend."

The corners of Jiang Ning's mouth twitched, indicating that he understood.

He had seen how miserable those women were.

in fact……

I am lucky to be alive.

It was already noon when the government troops arrived, along with staff from the United Nations humanitarian agency, who came to rescue those poor women. The white miners were wearing clothes stripped from the bodies of the militants.

I also arrived at the camp and finally met my colleagues.

She cried so hard.

The kind-hearted young man came to Africa and was finally taught a lesson by the cruel reality. However, the price was a bit high. His girlfriend seemed to be pregnant and was determined to break up with him.

The government forces' actions are shocking.

When they come, they don't care about the prisoners, they just take the seized weapons and equipment.

And all the supplies in the camp.

Mercenaries are not easy to deal with and will not be tolerated.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight.

Finally, seeing that the mercenaries were not easy to deal with, the government forces fled in disgrace.

They didn't care about the lives of the prisoners at all.

The sea snake was helpless and asked Jiang Ning: "Boss, what should we do with those captives?"

Jiang Ning pondered. Killing someone during a fight would be considered combat death, and no one would condemn him. But killing prisoners was different, and that was something only terrorists would do. He didn't want to be the executioner.

Otherwise, if someone catches you by the tail, you will be in trouble in the future.

But the government forces did not care about the lives of these prisoners.

What else can be done?

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Give it to the United Nations rescue organization."

The sea snake agreed and ran to do it immediately.

It didn't take long.

A staff member of the United Nations rescue organization ran over and said angrily, "Damn you, you shouldn't have left those prisoners to us. We are already short of manpower and are too busy rescuing those poor women to take care of the prisoners. You should go to the government and ask them to send the prisoners to the hospital."

Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "I have looked for them, but you saw the result. Those sons of bitches don't care about the prisoners at all. They are here to grab the spoils. If they had a sense of responsibility, I wouldn't bother you."

The staff was in a bad mood: "We are not capable of managing those prisoners."

Jiang Ning was very happy: "Then let those prisoners fend for themselves!"

"You're such a jerk!"

The staff member was furious and left after cursing angrily.

Jiang Ning didn't care, after all, he did cause trouble for others.

I have to say, although this world is a mess, there are still a group of lovely people, like the miner who didn't go to work after graduating from college, but took his girlfriend to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a place that couldn't be worse, to do good deeds.

This is probably what our ancestors said, only when you have enough food and clothing can you know etiquette!
How can someone who can't even fill his stomach have such leisure time?

After a while, a mercenary came to tell him.

The rescue organization sent a doctor to treat the prisoners.

Jiang Ning immediately gave instructions to withdraw all the people.

The camp was given to a relief organization.

They even left some of the seized daily necessities to rescue organizations.

Now that you’ve finished pooping, let these caring people wipe your butt!

Then build a house near the mining area.

Call Winder over to oversee the construction of the mining area.

Jiang Ning went out alone and visited Walikale.

Walikalai is a small town in the western part of North Kivu Province, next to the Congo rainforest, which is one of the forbidden areas for mankind. Because of its rich tin reserves, it has been occupied by warlords all year round, and there are also several anti-government armed forces and terrorists active in it.

Mukasutu has close ties with several anti-government armed groups.

It is impossible for Jiang Ning to stay here permanently.

Got to clean up the tail.

To the southwest of the town is the tropical rain forest. According to Mukasutu's confession, an armed force called the 'Rwanda Peace Movement' is hiding here, mining while receiving benefits from the mysterious organization.

Go out and do something from time to time.

There is a mine on the edge of the rainforest, which looks like a gold mine.

Jiang Ning looked around but didn't find any gold. There were quite a few armed elements in the mining area, hundreds of them. He caught a leader and interrogated him, but he was quite difficult to deal with. The leader of the armed elements was not here, hiding in the rain forest. No one knew the exact location, only his trusted personnel knew.

These outsiders only knew that they had to walk in the rainforest for a long time.

Then you will reach a river and take a boat to the general's palace.

Jiang Ning entered the rainforest and found the path the militants mentioned.

Trekking through the rain forest was too difficult.

After walking for more than half an hour, we came to a small river.

There is a simple pier by the river, see if there are any boats.

Jiang Ning rode the water and was a little dumbfounded after half an hour.

A tributary appeared ahead, and two small rivers merged in a valley.

Which way is this special seedling going?
The leader of the militants who was captured before had only been to the river. As for how long it would take by boat or how far to reach the general's palace, he had no idea. Jiang Ning was speechless that a small bandit had such a strong sense of vigilance.

I had to randomly choose one side and continue to ride the water.

As a result, not long after, new tributaries appeared.

The two streams merged again, which was a bit awkward.

The Congo rainforest is densely covered with rivers, which eventually converge into the Congo River, the second largest river in Africa. Trying to find a group of hiding militants in the vast rainforest is actually like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jiang Ning searched for a while without any results, so he changed to another river channel and continued his search.

It took two days and the hard work paid off.

Finally, traces of human activities were found on the edge of a swamp area.

Several small boats were hidden in the water plants.

Jiang Ning immediately expanded the search range and spent another half a day before finally finding a village in an extremely hidden valley two kilometers away from the swamp area. The village looked very peaceful. If there were not armed men patrolling nearby and a large number of traps around the village, it would really look like a place where an hermit lived in seclusion.

I explored it first.

The leader of the militants was not found, but a tunnel was discovered under the largest house.

The tunnel was dug about a hundred meters long and led to a small river.

There is also a small boat at the exit.

How insecure this guy must be, he even dug a tunnel under the house.

The entrance to the tunnel is very hidden. There is a treasure house under the house. The entrance to the tunnel is under the table in the treasure room. If Jiang Ning hadn't discovered the tunnel, it might not have been discovered by entering the treasure room from the outside.

There's nothing good in the treasure room.

Besides some guns, there was a small amount of gold and some cash.

There is not much gold, only about ten kilograms.

There wasn't much cash, just a few hundred thousand US dollars.

I don’t know whether the leader of the militants is relatively poor or his property is not here.

Jiang Ning didn't move anything and went out after the investigation.

An armed man was captured and interrogated.

As expected, the boss was not there; he was out meeting some friends.

It is said that he went to meet the leader of a terrorist organization.

According to the militants, their generals usually do not stay away for long periods of time, half a month at most, and usually three to five days. This time he has been away for three days and may be back at any time.

Jiang Ning buried him and moved into the general's treasury openly.

There are all kinds of living facilities inside.

He guessed that General Dog Hair probably slept in the treasure house at night.

The house above is a cover-up.

If the situation gets bad, escape through the tunnel at any time.

As long as you get out of the tunnel, you can take a boat downstream.

Jiang Ning didn't wait for two days, he was lucky this time.

When I woke up, I heard voices talking above.

If nothing unexpected happens, it must be the militant leader who has returned.

Because no one dares to come into this house.

Jiang Ning was planning to go out, but the host came down by himself.

He didn't go up and waited in the treasury.

The leader of the militants was a black man about fifty years old. He was so fat that he could hardly walk. He was dressed like a primitive man and looked like a country native, not a city dweller. His face also looked a bit sinister.

After going down to the treasury, I suddenly saw that there was someone in the treasury.

He was immediately shocked: "Damn, who are you?"

Then I felt something was wrong and turned around and wanted to run.

However, he was fat and moved slowly, and he just ran to the entrance.

I felt my body lighten and someone grabbed my neck and lifted me up from behind.

Jiang Ning carried him to the treasury hall, kicked him and threw him to the ground.

Lao Hei screamed, feeling as if he was kicked by an elephant.

It felt like my left leg was broken.

Jiang Ning sat down on the big animal skin chair and looked at Lao Hei who was lying on the ground.

Lao Hei wanted to get up, but his left leg refused to respond.

He could only sit on the ground, staring at Jiang Ning angrily and asking, "Who are you?"

Jiang Ning knew several African dialects, but he didn't understand what the guy said. The old black guy didn't speak Swahili or any other language he was familiar with. It should be a tribal dialect. He had to speak in French: "If you can understand French, then speak French. If you can't even understand French, I think it's a waste of my precious time to talk nonsense with you."

The black man could speak French, and angrily asked in French: "Who are you?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I am here to take your life."

Lao Hei froze for a moment, then said calmly, "I have never offended any Asian."

Jiang Ning was surprised and asked, "Do you need a reason to kill people in Africa? Just like you bastards, if you get upset one day and kill a few poor civilians to vent your anger, do you need a reason?"

Sweat began to drip from Lao Hei's forehead: "Let me go, I can give you money and gold."

Jiang Ning was curious: "How much money do you have?"

"a lot of!"

Lao Hei tries to show his value: "I have a lot of money and gold."

Jiang Ning asked: "Are you referring to the gold and US dollars hidden here?"

Lao Hei moved his legs with great effort and said, "Of course not. This is just one of my palaces. There is not much money here. My money and gold are all in another place. As long as you let me go, I will give you a lot of money."

Jiang Ning would not underestimate these natives. None of the bosses in such a chaotic place are good people. One can't tell how many conspiracies and tricks they will come up with with just a glance. This guy is obviously stalling for time.

So he stood up and went down.

With a flip of his wrist, a small knife appeared in his hand.

Grab Lao Hei's ear and swing it.

Lao Hei screamed and covered his left face.

Blood oozed out from between his fingers without any mercy.

Jiang Ning remained calm, returned to the big leather chair and sat down, saying, "I don't like people who play tricks."

Lao Hei screamed in pain and it took him a while to recover.

The treasure house is more than five meters underground.

As long as people outside don't get close to the entrance, they won't be able to hear what's going on inside.

Lao Hei shouted for a long time, but no one came to rescue him.

Only then did he resign himself to his fate and stopped screaming.

Jiang Ning wiped the knife on the big leather chair and asked, "Tell me, where is Makenga?"

Lao Hei was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to show it.

I'm worried that the other ear won't be saved.

……

Half an hour later, Lao Hei collapsed in tears of blood.

There was a knife stuck in his forehead.

Jiang Ning escaped from the treasure house and killed half of the militants.

The rest fled into the rainforest and never dared to look back.

Jiang Ning returned to Walikale and stayed there for a few days.

He visited several powerful armed warlords and tribal forces. No one was killed, so it was a relatively friendly visit. Although the visit made the warlords and tribal armed leaders a little unhappy, the result was still good.

When we returned to the mining area, the house had not been built yet.

Winder and the mercenaries all lived in simple tents and their life was rather hard.

The mercenaries are quite resentful.

Jiang Ning announced a decision in public: "I have decided to take out half of the US dollar gold seized last time as a reward and give bonuses to everyone. I will make it a practice that whenever there is gold seized in the future, I will take out half as a reward and give bonuses to everyone."

"Yeah, the boss is generous."

The mercenaries were immediately delighted and high-fived each other to celebrate.

The previous resentment is gone.

As long as you pay enough, a little hardship doesn’t matter.

We traveled all the way to Africa just to make a little more money.

Jiang Ning rested in the mining area for a night and explained some things.

The next day I went to Goma and visited some senior officials.

In fact, he is just a warlord.
