976: Chapter 961: Alternative Chemical Weapon 976: Chapter 961: Alternative Chemical Weapon The used guns had all been collected, but there was no need to take them away.
Just keeping them well stored in the room was enough, and naturally, someone would come and fetch them.
Everything that needed to be said had already been said.
Gao Yang stood up and said to everyone whose mood was somewhat heavy, “Alright, I remember all of you have booked your tickets.
Those who should go, go ahead.”
Andy He gave a helpless look and said, “Boss, you only mentioned that we’d meet again in ten days, but didn’t tell us where.”
Gao Yang smiled apologetically and said, “Djibouti Airport, the time remains the same.”
Eileen was the first to stand.
She walked up to Gao Yang, who reached out for a handshake, but Eileen instead hugged him and whispered in his ear, “I’ll be back, sir.
I’ll be back.”
After speaking, Eileen let go of Gao Yang, patted him on the shoulder, waved to everyone, and then whistled as she pushed the door open and left.
Jansen waved his hand and said with a serious face, “My plane is taking off soon, I’ve got to hurry.
Goodbye, guys.”
Frey and Glolov were heading back to the apartment.
Frey said with a grin, “Big Dog, Tommy, want to ride with me?”
Grollov nodded and smiled, “Sure, take me back.”
Tommy stood up, laughed, and said, “I’m not going back.
Vita is waiting for me at the airport.
We’re going to Serbia.
See you, guys.”
Andy He spread his hands and said, “They’ve all left.
I should be going too.
I’ve got some shopping to do.
Bye, guys.”
Rafael also stood up, laughed, and said, “I’m off too.
Even though my plane doesn’t leave until tomorrow, I might as well wait at the airport.
Farewell, brothers, farewell, Boss.”
With most having departed, Gao Yang said to Little Donnie, “Take Ludwig with you, give him some cash, and let him leave America.
Tell him to go have fun somewhere for a few days.”
Little Donnie left, taking Ludwig with him as he went.
Those who had to leave, had left.
Only Cui Bo remained, sighing long and short.
Gao Yang looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?
Not leaving?
Waiting for Toad and me to see you off?”
Cui Bo grimaced and said, “You two just love to screw me over, don’t you?
If I don’t care about you, I’d feel guilty.
I swear I’m not coming back this time.
You know how bitter I feel?
Just keep screwing me over, keep on doing it.”
Li Jinfang let out a sigh and said, “Enough, don’t go on about it.
If Yang and I had any other option, we wouldn’t be doing this.”
Cui Bo waved his hand and took a deep breath, “Fine, I’ll go back and see how things are.
If there’s no way out, I’ll just stay home.
If I can sort things out for my family, I’ll come back.
And you all, be damn careful, don’t get killed or wounded.
Once this immediate crap’s sorted out, I’ll be back.”
Gao Yang nodded and whispered to Cui Bo, “You idiot, if you do go back, make sure you don’t blab, got it?
If I’m dead, remember to burn a little less paper for me during the holidays.
Also, write a letter to my parents every year, you understand?”
Cui Bo replied impatiently, “Alright, I don’t need you to tell me that.
If you’re dead, I’ll just say you’re hiding and too scared to come back.
If you die, who the hell knows where you might end up?
I’m so far away, you think you’ll receive the paper money I burn for you?
So don’t go dying.
Live well.
When you’re old and gone, let your son burn paper for you.”
Gao Yang slapped Cui Bo on the back and said, “Idiot, I’m just worried you might do something stupid.”
After that, Gao Yang didn’t know what else to say.
He looked around hesitantly and, in a very Western gesture, hugged Cui Bo firmly and said in a deep voice, “Idiot, it’s all on you now.
Take good care of home and don’t you dare worry me and Jinfang, got it?”
Cui Bo pushed Gao Yang away and complained, “The Old Russian and tomboy have gotten to you.
We’re both men; what’s with the hugging?
Huaxia People don’t do this kind of thing.”
Cui Bo was in a terrible mood.
After finishing his words, he said angrily, “Fine, that’s enough.
It’s not as if it’s life or death.
Why make it so sappy, as if we’ll never see each other again?
Toad, don’t you start with that either.”
Li Jinfang patted Cui Bo’s shoulder and said in a deep tone, “Rabbit, it’s all in your hands now.”
Cui Bo nodded and looked at Li Jinfang, “Yang is definitely going to go fool around with some girl these next few days.
You’re all alone.
What are you going to do?
Go to Africa to see your brothers?”
Li Jinfang nodded and said, “Yes, to meet up with them.”
Cui Bo sighed and said, “Alright, I’m off.
Finish this business quickly and let me come back.
Damn dawdling.
I’m leaving!”
Right after Cui Bo spoke, a miserable scream came from outside the door.
“F**k!
My eyes, ah!
Ah…”
“It’s Fork!
Something happened!”
After hearing the scream, Gao Yang let out a low shout and twisted his head to run outside.
While running, he cocked his pistol with a click.
Number Thirteen seemed a bit stunned, but he immediately followed Gao Yang and charged out.
Li Jinfang and Cui Bo were unarmed; their guns had been stowed away.
The two men opened their gun bags, each grabbing a rifle, and snatched up a magazine before also hurrying out.
They couldn’t shout, especially not Rafael’s name.
If Rafael really was under attack, shouting loudly could reveal Gao Yang and the others’ position.
So the plan was to move out silently and then open fire directly.
After Li Jinfang and Cui Bo left the room, they saw Gao Yang had already put away his gun and was waving at them to come inside.
Turning to look at Rafael, they saw him on the grass outside the parking lot, covering his eyes and wandering around in circles.
Cui Bo sniffed and said, “Damn, what’s that smell?
It’s so putrid!”
Little Donnie and Ludwig hadn’t left yet.
They also came out of the room.
Upon seeing Rafael, Little Donnie opened his mouth wide, then said with a pained expression, “Oh!
Fork’s in trouble, a skunk!
He’s been sprayed by a skunk!”
The motel was in the suburbs of Jersey City, surrounded by nice greenery.
Right next to the parking lot was a lawn, followed by a small grove of trees.
Rafael was now covering his eyes, bumping around like a headless fly.
Li Jinfang was quite worried.
He grabbed Little Donnie and demanded, “What happened to Fork?”
With a helpless face, Little Donnie replied, “The idiot Fork, he got sprayed by a skunk.
He’s screwed.
Big time.
Hey, hey, Boss, keep your distance from him!
I’ll handle this!”
Gao Yang attempted to approach Rafael, but when he was about four or five meters away, he couldn’t bear the extremely strong stench any longer.
Pinching his nose, he shouted loudly, “Fork, how are you doing?”
Rafael, after retching a few times, screamed, “My eyes, I can’t see!
F**k, I smell like death!
What the hell is this thing?”
Li Jinfang and Cui Bo ran back into the room, set down their guns, and when they came out again, the motel’s elderly owner had already appeared.
Little Donnie was shouting at the owner, “Water!
Bring me some water!”
Gao Yang pinched his nose and ran to Rafael’s side, but he didn’t touch him.
Instead, he yelled loudly, “Don’t move, don’t rub your eyes, you’ve been sprayed by a skunk; it’s just temporary blindness.”
Rafael, with a trembling voice, shrieked, “Am I going to go blind?”
The motel owner, carrying a lot of bottled water, ran over with Little Donnie, whereupon the owner loudly exclaimed, “Damn, how much did you get sprayed with, didn’t you know to keep away from the skunk?”
Rafael roared, “Hell, how was I supposed to know it was a skunk!
Who the f**k can tell me what a skunk is!”
Little Donnie urged urgently, “Don’t move, I’m pouring water on you, you wash your own eyes, oh, hurry up, I’m going to puke!
Oh, really, how can you be so putrid?
How much did you get sprayed with?
Did you kiss the skunk or something?”
As Rafael washed his eyes with the water, he said, “That damn beast sprayed me right in the face!”
The motel owner once again covered his face and shook his head helplessly, “My God.”
Gao Yang felt infinite sympathy for Rafael because getting sprayed by a skunk could make one feel like death, not to mention that the stench could last a very long time and the extremely strong odor could be detected hundreds of meters away.
Little Donnie, pinching his nose and mumbling, asked, “How far were you from the skunk that sprayed you, did you get a lot on you?
Was it like a mist or a jet?”
Rafael replied urgently, “It sprayed me right in front of my eyes!
Covered my face and neck, oh, damn, why does it stink so bad!
I’m about to pass out!”
Li Jinfang and Cui Bo, holding their noses, ran over.
Hearing Rafael’s plight, Cui Bo burst out laughing, “Fork, you’re in deep trouble, the worst kind of trouble.
Don’t even think about going home, no plane would let you on board, haha.”
When a skunk releases its foul-smelling spray, it’s spot-on within three meters.
If it’s a farther distance and only a bit gets on you, it’s manageable with skunk odor neutralizers and other detergents to wash away the smell.
But being sprayed so closely on your face and neck is another story; you can wash all you want, but the smell won’t fade completely for days.
While it would smell for a few days, having a way to deal with it wasn’t so bad.
Before chemical deodorizers, when humans got sprayed, it was agony beyond words.
Gao Yang, feeling nauseous, dizzy, and gagging, stepped back and said to the motel owner, “You can go back now, no need to suffer here with us.”
The owner, more than happy to comply, took off running at the word.
Once the motel owner left, Gao Yang, still pinching his nose, said, “Little Donnie, isn’t there someone who specializes in dealing with this?
Call someone quick, it really stinks to death here.
Also, I heard that Israel developed something a long time ago called the Skunk Bomb, with a stench worse than a skunk’s and lasting a full five years.
I didn’t think it was anything impressive, but I’ve decided, I’m buying Skunk Bombs!
I definitely will!”
Gao Yang wasn’t joking.
He had made up his mind; he really would buy a batch of Skunk Bombs.
After witnessing the power of the skunk, Gao Yang believed that skunk bombs, this alternative chemical weapon, would definitely be of use.
