933: Chapter 923 Berserk 933: Chapter 923 Berserk On August 21, 2013, at half-past two in the morning, Bruce died in a chemical weapon attack in the Eastern Suburbs of Damascus, Qutah District.
No matter how many others died, Gao Yang didn’t care; he neither had the time nor the means to care.
But when Bruce died, Gao Yang went berserk, completely berserk.
Even though Gao Yang’s descent into madness was unremarkable, without any outbursts or solemn vows, it was hardly noticeable—in fact, no one did notice.
However, all the members of the Satan Mercenary Corps knew that their commander might from now on be called the Angry Ram, for they understood Gao Yang’s personality.
What kind of person was Gao Yang?
Initially, Gao Yang was just an ordinary person, but once he became a mercenary, he was no longer ordinary.
Gao Yang valued family, brotherhood, friendship; he was a man who prized loyalty.
Should anyone dare to harm his brothers, he would annihilate their entire family, despite never uttering such words, that simply was the kind of man he was.
Besides his sense of loyalty, another characteristic of Gao Yang was his indifference to profit.
Money, that damned thing, can be earned again once spent; this was always Gao Yang’s belief.
If anyone harmed his parents, Gao Yang dared to take up a gun and kill them, and that was before he was even a mercenary.
Japanese whaling ships almost caused his girlfriend to lose her life, and although she hadn’t actually died, Gao Yang was willing to spend his entire fortune to take a ship full of torpedoes and annihilate those who had nearly claimed her life, sparing none, and he truly dared to do so.
Therefore, Gao Yang was also a man whose brain could easily get “Hot” and impulsively make a move that would “poke a hole in the sky.”
Now, Gao Yang was a mercenary with a top-tier Mercenary Group in the industry and was capable of accomplishing what most people couldn’t.
He had money, too—perhaps not much by a tycoon’s standards, but certainly enough for many things, enough to buy lots and lots of armaments.
Right, he also had a diamond mine that reaped profits without investment.
When someone capsized his girlfriend’s boat, nearly freezing her to death, Gao Yang and his crew sank four whaling ships and slaughtered every last crew member.
And now, someone had killed Gao Yang’s closest comrade-in-arms, his brother-in-arms.
So it would not be surprising what the now Gao Yang would do, and it would be anything unexpected unless he suddenly changed his nature.
But as the saying goes, it’s easier to change rivers and mountains than one’s nature.
Vengeance was certain, and that the revenge would be intense was also certain.
Before Gao Yang embarked on his frantic and reckless retribution, he had more important matters to attend to than revenge.
To bring Bruce home, giving him a grand funeral.
To safely send Lucica home, ensuring a beautiful future and a stable life for Lucica and their child.
Gao Yang got through to Polovich on the phone, and as soon as he heard Polovich say “Hello,” Gao Yang immediately said, “Polovich, I know you no longer work for Grand Ivan, but you must still have the channels and connections from before.
Do me a favor, help me find chemical protective suits; I need them urgently, the sooner the better.
I’ll pay, you name the price, and I won’t haggle.”
Listening to Gao Yang’s calm yet urgent words, Polovich, surprised, said, “What’s happened?”
After a moment of silence, Gao Yang replied softly, “We’ve been betrayed, Bruce is dead, Sarin has poisoned and killed him, so we need protective suits against Sarin.”
“Shit!
F**k, damn it to hell, Test Tube is dead?
God, this is so unfortunate, may God bless Bruce.
I must say, Ram, these kinds of things happen in our line of work; don’t take it too hard, don’t act rashly.
You need to calm down now and figure out what you need to do.”
Gao Yang said solemnly, “I am calm.
I need the protective suits.
Can you get them?”
After a moment of silence, Polovich sighed and said, “I can get them, and very quickly.
I have a hideout in Damascus; I used it often when I was doing business in Syria.
Syria has chemical weapons, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the government army or Rebel Army used them someday, so I prepared two sets of protective suits for myself and my people, capable of shielding against nuclear, biological, and chemical threats, but there are only two sets.”
After thinking for a while, Gao Yang replied in a deep voice, “Two suits are too few, but it’s enough.
How do I get them?”
“I’ll have someone deliver them to you; it’ll be much faster than if you try to get them yourself, and they can move more conveniently.
Ram, is there anything else you need help with?
I’ll do my best.”
Gao Yang said solemnly, “Thank you.
There is something else I need your help with.
I have to bring Bruce home.
Can you help me?
Bruce, his body has been contaminated with too much poison; he can’t be brought back by normal means.”
Polovich seemed troubled and replied, “That’s difficult, Ram.
If I’m to help you with this, I must use Grand Ivan’s channels, and as you know, if I interfere with the channels Grand Ivan gave me, I can’t guarantee it’ll work.”
Gao Yang said solemnly, “Try anyway.
If it’s not possible, then forget it.
And regardless, if I can see Grand Ivan and Uriyangko, I can’t guarantee that you can regain your former status and position, but I can promise you’ll continue to work for Grand Ivan.”
Polovich’s voice also grew firm as he said in a deep tone, “I still can’t guarantee it will work, because Grand Ivan and Uriyangko have disappeared and we can’t contact them.
Grand Ivan’s channels are just operating as usual by routine, but I can still make contact with people, so I will try my best.
Now tell me where you are, and I’ll have someone deliver the protective suits to you as fast as possible.”
After giving Polovich the coordinates, Gao Yang hung up the phone and looked at Li Jinfang, who was calling Little Donnie, “Did you get through to Little Donnie?”
Li Jinfang nodded and said, “I got through.
There’s nothing happening at Little Donnie’s end for now, but he will hide first and wait for us to return.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “It’s not just Little Donnie; our families might also be in danger.
Although the likelihood is small, we have to guard against it.
I’ll call Morgan and ask him to help take care of our families.”
After saying that, Gao Yang called Morgan.
Morgan answered the phone with laughter, and he chuckled, “Gao, do you have any good news?”
Gao Yang was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s not good news.
It’s bad news that doesn’t concern you.
We’ve been betrayed—Bruce is dead.”
“What!”
Morgan sounded extremely shocked.
Gao Yang continued, “We were betrayed by Tomler.
It might not be Tomler’s own scheme, but the possibility is high.
So, Morgan, could you help protect our families until we return?”
Morgan replied very seriously, “It’s unfortunate.
I really liked that guy Bruce.
I’m waiting for you; when you come back, we’ll talk about everything.
Tomler was someone I introduced to you, and I will explain this to you.
You don’t have to worry about your families’ safety at all; I give you my word.”
After a moment of silence, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang thought for a moment and dialed the old numbers of Uriyangko, Ivan, and Grand Ivan, but it was the same as before—all of them were unreachable.
After putting down the phone, Gao Yang stood up and said in a deep voice, “Prepare to evacuate.
Maybe Polovich can arrange our departure, maybe not, but be ready.
There will be two sets of protective suits.
Who will go with me to retrieve Bruce?”
Everyone gathered around Gao Yang.
Jansen urgently said, “Have you found him?
That’s great, Boss.
Please let me go with you.”
Everyone wanted to go, but after surveying the group, Gao Yang sternly said, “Let’s have Li Jinfang come with me.”
Seeing that others still wanted to speak, Gao Yang said in a stern voice, “This is an order.”
No one spoke again.
Eileen, her head lowered in disappointment, said, “Yes, sir.”
Seeing everyone’s somber faces, Gao Yang suddenly asked, “Lucica hasn’t been given the antidote.
What, does it affect the baby?”
Andy He nodded and said, “Yes, atropine can affect the fetus.
Since Lucica almost showed no signs of poisoning, I didn’t administer it to her.”
Gao Yang was concerned that Sarin might affect Lucica’s unborn child but dared not speak.
He merely gave Andy He a meaningful look.
Andy He understood Gao Yang’s hint.
At first, he nodded but then seemed to think that was not right and shook his head.
Feeling uncertain, he finally said, “Lucica’s baby will definitely not be affected by Sarin.”
Perhaps everyone shared this concern but none dared to voice it.
After hearing Andy He’s words, everyone let out a long breath of relief, and Lucica herself looked relieved, unconsciously touching her belly again.
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Come on, why are you all acting so dumb?
Don’t make Lucica stand; let her lie down in the car.”
Glolov said anxiously, “The car is too small, and it won’t be comfortable lying there.”
Gao Yang said urgently, “Then hurry up and lay something down—camouflage net, moisture-proof pads, make it thick so she can lie down.
Oh, and also, hang a camouflage net to block the wind for her.”
The crowd scattered, each going to retrieve items.
At that moment, Lucica said helplessly, “I’m fine, you don’t need to fuss over me.
I’m just over a month pregnant; it doesn’t affect my ability to move at all.
We were still fighting not long ago.”
Gao Yang barked, “Nonsense!
I won’t say anything about you guys, but still, you’re pregnant and you dare…
you…
just lie down and rest properly, don’t move around!”
Perhaps feeling his tone was too harsh, Gao Yang quickly said more softly, “In any case, you can’t get too agitated, nor should you be too sad.
Now you have to think more about the baby.”
Lucica became a point of focus for protection.
Although the child had lost its father before being born, still, in this misfortune, the fact that Bruce left behind a posthumous child was the only comforting aspect.
The news of Bruce’s death was a cause for sorrow, especially because Lucica could not just brush it off as though nothing happened.
However, Gao Yang felt that no matter what, Lucica had to be kept from becoming too despondent.
To distract Lucica, while others were busily creating a more comfortable environment for her, Gao Yang sat down in front of her and spoke softly, “Have you two thought about naming the baby?
I think maybe it’s time to consider it now.
What do you think?”
Gao Yang didn’t think Bruce and Lucica could have already picked a name for their newly conceived child, but Lucica nodded gently and said, “We did.
Bruce said, if it’s a boy, his name would be Bruce Yang William, and if it’s a girl, her name would be Lucica Yang William.” (To be continued.
