326: Chapter 324: Two People Are Enough 326: Chapter 324: Two People Are Enough Generally speaking, a large oil field is operated by the same company, but in South Sudan, that’s not quite realistic.
In the Abyei region, there are several large oil fields with a proven total reserve of about 180 million tons, but right now South Sudan can only manage two, one of which has been taken over by Morgan, while the other is being exploited by a Huaxia oil company in cooperation with the South Sudanese government.
Morgan wanted to sell the oil field, but the Huaxia people’s oil field needed to extract the oil as quickly as possible, so the Huaxia oil company had already started drilling.
About sixty kilometers away from Kolm’s camp, there were two drilling team camps from Huaxia.
Kolm’s group and the Huaxia drilling teams kept to themselves, rarely interacting.
Normally, Kolm would not be aware of any issues at the Huaxia drilling team’s site, but today, a friend of Kolm in Malakal had called him to inform him that the Huaxia camp had been robbed and advised Kolm to step up security.
Kolm was unclear about the specifics of what happened inside the Huaxia camp, he was only aware that someone had charged into the Huaxia camp and opened fire, and after the security at the Huaxia drilling team’s camp returned a few shots, the invaders scattered.
After hearing Kolm summarize the situation, Li Jinfang immediately became restless.
As a Huaxia soldier, or at least considering himself one, it was really hard for Li Jinfang to stand by knowing his compatriots were in trouble.
After hesitating for a while, Li Jinfang suddenly stood up and said urgently to Gao Yang, “Brother Yang, I have to go check it out, I’ll just go and see what’s going on, see if there’s anything I can do to help.
There won’t be any danger, you stay here, I”
Looking at Li Jinfang’s worried face, Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “I know what you’re thinking, don’t panic, keep your cool.”
Afterward, Gao Yang said to Kolm in a stern voice, “Do you have a way to get in touch with the Huaxia drilling team?”
Kolm shook his head and said, “No way, I don’t know their phone number, nor do I have their radio frequency.”
After contemplating for a moment, Gao Yang said decisively, “Since the drilling team is working for the South Sudanese government, if they have been robbed, is there any possibility that the military or police will protect them?”
Kolm let out a chuckle and said, “Don’t joke, if the military or police here were reliable, why would we bother hiring security guards?
Well, it’s now been proven that even the security guards we paid for can’t be relied upon.
The Dinka people and the Nuer people are about to go to war; their military is made up of mostly Dinka or Nuer people.
They are gearing up to fight each other now, I guarantee that Malakal can’t even spare a single soldier.”
Frowning deeply, Gao Yang said anxiously, “So you mean, for the short term, those Huaxia people will have no one to look after them.
Would the Huaxia embassy have a way to rescue them?”
Kolm shrugged, “Unless those embassy folks could bring an army with them, which is impossible, maybe the South Sudanese government would redeploy a troop from somewhere else, but that takes time.
With their efficiency, it will be pretty good if they can send troops to the drilling team’s camp within two or three days.”
At this point, Li Jinfang could not hold back any longer.
He said anxiously, “Brother Yang, I have to go have a look, I must.
What if I leave now?”
Gao Yang nodded and said to Kolm, “Sorry, buddy, both of us might have to leave for a bit.”
Destin frowned and said, “Do you two plan to go by yourselves?
Just the two of you, that’s not enough people, but if we all go, what about this place?”
Kolm also wore a look of distress and said, “Buddy, you can’t do this.
I thought you guys were staying to protect us.
You have to understand, it’s also very dangerous here now.
What will we do if you leave?”
Gao Yang let out a troubled sigh and said, “Sorry, but those Huaxia people are my compatriots; I must go and check on them.
Destin, the safety here will depend on you guys for now.
We should be able to come back quickly.”
After hesitating for a moment, Destin said solemnly to Kolm, “We are here, so you don’t have to worry about safety.”
Kolm spread his hands and said with a bitter smile, “Sorry, I might seem a bit too selfish.
Rising to help compatriots in need is a virtue and very noble, but there are only two of them.
What can they do?”
Destin, David, and the others all laughed.
Then, David said with a chuckle, “With those two, it’s enough.”
At that moment, Destin patted Gao Yang on the shoulder and then patted Li Jinfang’s shoulder before saying in a deep voice, “I understand your thoughts, so I have no intention of stopping you.
If you are determined to go, I can accompany you.
Two people is ultimately a bit too few, and three people here will be enough to stay.”
After thinking it over, Gao Yang still shook his head and said, “No need, these matters are unrelated to you guys to begin with.
Besides, there is also danger here.
You better stay, just me and Toad is enough.
If there really is any danger, I will ask for your help.”
Destin nodded and said, “With your abilities, you should not encounter any danger, but remember, safety first.
Don’t be too impulsive.”
After sighing, Kolm said, “Alright, you two, really, I don’t even know what to say.
I’ll provide a vehicle for you.”
Gao Yang, who had finished his meal, wiped his mouth and stood up, saying in a grave tone, “The situation is urgent.
Please prepare the car and the coordinates quickly.
I’ll go get ready.
Gentlemen, after we return, let’s have a proper drink.”
No more needed to be said, Gao Yang and Li Jinfang each returned to their rooms, donned their gear, packed their weapons and ammo, and drove off in a pickup truck straight to the Huaxia drilling team’s camp.
When Li Jinfang arrived, he brought all of Gao Yang’s equipment, and ammunition was plentiful.
Li Jinfang had ten magazines plus three hundred rounds, while Gao Yang had over three hundred rounds, though his spent magazines had yet to be refilled.
After driving out of the camp, Gao Yang began loading bullets into the empty magazines one by one in the bumpy vehicle.
Watching Gao’s silent demeanor, Li Jinfang suddenly said, “Sorry, Brother Yang, I’m a soldier, you are not.
I know if I go, you inevitably have to follow.
We shouldn’t talk about this between brothers, but I still feel I owe you an apology.”
Upon hearing Li Jinfang’s words, Gao Yang looked at him in astonishment and laughed disdainfully, “If stupidity is a disease, you must have caught it from Rabbit at some point.
Has your IQ dropped?
What’s our relationship that you’re telling me this?
You fool!”
Gao Yang was genuinely angry.
Given the relationship between him and Li Jinfang, they really didn’t need to say much, so when Li Jinfang came to rescue him, Gao thanked everyone else but never thanked Jinfang, because it wasn’t necessary.
After speaking his piece with animosity, Gao Yang lowered his head again and continued loading his bullets.
After a while, he said indifferently, “Don’t forget, I’m also a Huaxia person.
And don’t ever talk to me like that again; I hate it.”(To be continued.
