Start in Night City - #364 - Chapter 364

No matter how good things are, they cannot be traded in this way.

The other person then said again.

“But I have a request.”

“any request?”

“I don’t accept electronic bank transfers, I don’t trust electronic banking, I don’t trust any company, I only accept cash and credit chips.”

“Not accepting calls

Sub-bank transfer? If you don’t trust me, I can transfer both the deposit and the balance to you through Rogge. Don’t you think you don’t even trust Rogge? “

Said the other side.

“It’s not that I don’t trust Rogge, but I don’t trust the companies that control electronic banking, because electronic bank transfers can be traced, and money stored in electronic banks will be lost if they don’t.”

“Those who work in our industry are a thorn in the side of the company. If we are not careful, the company will destroy our family and lose all our money. Therefore, I cannot be careful.”

On the other hand, it’s not unreasonable.

If you are an ordinary person, you can still save some money in electronic banking.

The little money ordinary people can earn is not even a mosquito’s legs, and the company that controls electronic banking does not value this bit of ant meat.

But if you are not an ordinary person, but are engaged in a profitable profession, and are not under the jurisdiction of the company, then you need to be careful.

At least you can’t deposit all your worth into electronic banking.

Otherwise, if one day you go against the company and someone says to freeze your money, they will freeze your money.

Don’t blame others for using their power for personal gain. The referees are all their own, so why should you compete with them?

Therefore, Su Xiao can completely understand the concerns and worries of this Bolivian arms dealer.

only……

“You don’t trust electronic bank transfers, so how are you going to make transactions? You can’t let me send cash and credit chips to the logistics company to send them to you, right? That would be even more unsafe.”

Logistics companies can deliver anything, including payment, and even contraband can be delivered.

But the only thing you can’t do is let the logistics company help deliver the money.

No one has ever done this, and no one would do it.

“It’s very simple. You come to Bolivia, I will send you the coordinates, you come to the designated place I requested, and we will meet offline. Then we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.”

The person on the other side paused for a moment and continued, “Actually, you won’t suffer any loss if you come to Bolivia. First of all, you can treat this trip as a tour.”

“Secondly, I guess you won’t feel relieved if you don’t personally escort this valuable cargo worth 80 million back to Night City, right?”

What the other side said makes sense.

Just like the other party didn’t trust electronic bank transfers, Su Xiao didn’t trust the logistics company to help transport such valuable goods.

After all, it is better to escort him personally so that you can feel more at ease.

“Okay, then I’ll do as you say.”

…

Bolivia, the full name is the Plurinational State of Bolivia.

The country’s name comes from Bolivar, the liberator.

This is a landlocked country located in the center of South America, bordered by five countries: Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay.

The land area is 1.098 million square kilometers, and the legal capital is Sucre, but the actual government seat is in La Paz.

Bolivia is rich in mineral resources, oil and natural gas.

In addition, Bolivia has a very high forest coverage rate. The country covers an area of ​​1.09 million square kilometers, of which 530,000 square kilometers are covered by forest.

But compared to the above, Bolivia has another thing that is even more well-known.

That’s coca.

That is the main raw material for making glitter.

As we all know, Mexico is a country overrun with glitter.

The group that controls Shining is even more powerful than the Mexican government.

But Mexico itself does not have the conditions to grow the shining raw material, coca.

The main producing areas of coca are Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador.

The group that controls coca cultivation in Bolivia is even worse than the group in Mexico.

…

After renting a heavy-duty truck with Rogge, Su Xiao called V and Lucy and set off from Night City. They took the boat with them and the car, and first arrived at the coastal city of Peru.

Then he drove this heavy truck from the coastal city of Peru to the border city between Peru and Bolivia.

The meeting place he agreed with the arms dealer was in an inconspicuous town near the border in La Paz Province, Bolivia.

Due to the current political turmoil in Bolivia, many forces, such as government forces, anti-government armed forces, guerrillas and the Shining Group, are performing a drama in Bolivia where you stop and I come on.

Therefore, Su Xiao and the three of them brought their guys with them, just in case.

However, he didn’t ask why the arms dealer wanted to place the transaction in such a chaotic country.

In fact, I know it after thinking about it.

Their profession is arms dealers, and of course they can only survive in war-torn areas.

If you go to an Asian country to sell arms, wouldn’t that be a fool’s errand?

Chapter 306 Why are you chasing me? Because you have emergency syrup (4K)

Cross the border with Peru and enter the La Paz province of Bolivia.

Su Xiao, V, and Lucy took turns driving.

On the third day, they finally arrived at the town where the arms dealer said they met offline.

However, the arms dealers are not here.

They had no way to find anyone to question.

Because the whole town was razed to the ground.

Now only a ruin is left.

Since recent years, the situation in Bolivia has become increasingly turbulent. Acts of massacre and burning of villages like this have become increasingly common in Bolivia.

Bolivia is not unusual.

Currently, Bolivian government troops are huddled in the capital, La Paz.

They can’t even control the province of La Paz.

Not to mention all of Bolivia.

Anti-government armed forces and the Shining Group often engage in unscrupulous exchanges of fire and bloodshed on this land.

Su Xiao called the arms dealer directly, but there was no signal.

Just when I was thinking about what to do, V suddenly pointed at the radio station in the distance.

“Su, look over there… there’s a radio station there, go and give it a try.”

So the three of them drove to the bottom of the radio station.

Letting V and Lucy wait below, Su Xiao climbed up to the radio station alone.

He pulled a line from the tactical eyepiece and connected it to the control panel of the radio station.

Then started trying to call arms dealers.

It was vague and intermittent at first.

But after debugging, the signal gradually became clear.

“Hello? Hello, can you hear me?”

“Is this voice…Mr. Su?”

Su Xiao got straight to the point and didn’t mince words: “Yes, it’s me. I’m here, but the town has become a ruin. Where are you now?”

“How many of you are here? Do you have guns?”

Su Xiao heard the anxiety in the arms dealer’s tone, and he realized something was wrong.

“You have a gun, but what happened to you? What happened?”

The arms dealer said in one breath.

“The town where we agreed to meet secretly supported the government forces, but somehow, the anti-government forces found out.”

“They came here last night to kill and shoot people when they saw them. I didn’t have a few men with me. I was no match for the anti-government armed forces, so I quickly escaped from the town.”

“I just heard what you said, and now that town has been razed to the ground?”

Su Xiao nodded and said: “Yes, everyone was killed and the town was turned into ruins.”

Su Xiao heard a curse from the other side.

“Sorry, I can’t join you now, but can you come to me? I was in an abandoned church about half an hour south of the agreed town, and I was overtaken by rebels. They cornered me and my people in this church.”

“Is the cargo with you too?”

“Wha… of course, you’re with me.”

“Okay, then you hide and hold on as long as you can, so you don’t get beaten to death.”

After the communication was completed, Su Xiao came down from the radio station and said to V and Lucy who were guarding below.

“The seller is in an abandoned church in the south of the town, about half an hour away. He was blocked there by anti-government armed people and we need to rescue him.”

V wondered: “How could he, an arms dealer with a neutral position, be hunted by the anti-government armed forces? Isn’t the arms dealer able to get along with everyone?”

Bolivia is not a night city, and there are no weapons stores everywhere. Whether it is government troops, anti-government armed forces, or the Shining Group, if you want to buy weapons, you can only go through arms dealers.

Therefore, generally speaking, no matter which party it is, it will not take action against arms dealers.

Lidya Su shook her head: “Then I don’t know.”

He didn’t care so much about the arms dealer’s life and death. After all, if you went to a war-torn area like Bolivia to sell weapons, you should have considered the risk of being attacked in advance.

If something happens, you can’t blame others.

But he had something Su Xiao wanted in his hands, so he had to go there and see the situation.

Moreover, after saving the other party’s life, the balance of the payment will be discounted in half. Is there anything wrong with that?

…

In the church south of the town, half an hour away.

The arms dealer was wearing a suit with a bulletproof vest, and held a kinetic pistol in each hand.

He stayed close to the window on the front of the church and observed what was going on outside.

His three bodyguards are also responsible for one direction of the church.

In fact, he had a total of seven bodyguards, but when he was in the town, two bodyguards were killed on the spot, and two were separated during the evacuation.

Now only these three bodyguards are left.

They still follow the arms dealer, not because they are loyal, but because they know that even if they abandon the arms dealer, they may not be able to escape.

It is better to huddle together for warmth. If everyone gathers together, the chance of survival will be greater.

At this time, a bodyguard was probably staring out the window. He felt too bored and couldn’t help but say something on the communication channel.

“BOSS, why do you think they insist on insisting on us? We don’t have emergency syrup.”

The arms dealer replied angrily: “You ask me, I’ll ask who will go.”

Another bodyguard asked: “BOSS, how long will we stay in this church? Why don’t we go out right away?”

The arms dealer replied: “What are you doing out there? Are you a target for the enemy? I have already contacted reinforcements. Please wait patiently. Reinforcements will arrive soon.”

Everyone else was stunned.

“Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements coming from?”
