Chapter 300 - 178: Escorting the Fire_Part 2
Soon it was time to depart, and Allen Zhang prayed that this mission would go smoothly. After all, he was just passing through on a trip and planned to visit the casino in Little Rock; he had no intention of getting into a gunfight with anyone.
The Artillery Team, in charge of escorting the convoy, led the way, followed by Sieg in the middle, then the PMC Lightning Company’s security personnel, and finally the other miscellaneous individuals.
Having left the city, they reached the suburbs. The Artillery Team’s security personnel constantly reported road conditions through walkie-talkies, scanning the environment and any suspicious individuals. But after dozens of minutes of high-speed road driving without any signs of danger, they all relaxed quite a bit.
"There’s still an hour and thirty minutes of driving left before we can reach Palm Valley. There shouldn’t be any significant risks, considering it’s only a 60-dollar hourly wage," Bailey reported with a tablet, reporting the roadside conditions.
"You’re getting sixty dollars, but they’re getting 85 dollars! And we’re all doing the same job," Allen Zhang joked. "If something unexpected does happen, the enemy’s bullets won’t discriminate based on your pay, thinking they shouldn’t hit you because you earn less."
"I just hope everything goes well."
Bailey silently prayed for God’s blessing; for just a few hundred dollars, why risk their lives?
The convoy of armored vehicles drove smoothly on the highway without incident. Allen Zhang was so sleepy that he couldn’t keep his eyes open and decided to put on goggles and a mask and rest.
