After Silver Wolf Michelle left, Lin Rui returned to his residence, and the cheers of the mercenaries almost set off a riot.
¡°Good job, boss.¡± The tall and tall Ezeli threw a can of beer to him.
"You didn't see that Mr. K, that coward, looked at the box of chemical shells on his desk, and the expression on his face was really wonderful." Sergey laughed, "This is my most enjoyable experience. once."
Lin Rui silently opened the beer can in his hand, held it up and said, "This is for our dead brothers and for us. But getting angry is not my original intention. If we can better control the situation, maybe the mission can be Once completed, those brothers may be able to survive."
The mercenaries were silent.
Sergey squeezed in, hugged Lin Rui's shoulders and said, "Boss, relax. This is a combat operation, there can be no casualties. It's not easy for the brothers, it's not that they don't feel sad. It's just that we are all the same, today We don¡¯t know what will happen tomorrow. All we can do is enjoy ourselves in the moment and forget the painful things, otherwise we won¡¯t be able to survive.¡±
"I understand. Tell the brothers not to drink too much. This period is not peaceful." Lin Rui nodded.
He turned around and walked outside the room, standing alone on the balcony smoking a cigarette. In the room behind him, mercenaries were drinking and reveling. Several mercenaries got together to arm-wrestle and bet on winning or losing. They roared like a pack of African wild dogs, but the wild dogs' roars were not as wild as theirs. Lin Rui stood on the balcony and suddenly felt a sense of sadness. Maybe one day he and these brothers who were drinking and reveling would die on the battlefield.
No one remembers what they did, and their lives became a blank when they entered the mercenary organization. Life is put on the scale so directly to weigh enough wealth. This is the fate of a mercenary.
A hand was placed on Lin Rui's shoulder, making his smoking hand tremble a little.
Yelena leaned against him behind him and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Lin Rui whispered.
"I thought you were a person who never gets tired." Yelena chuckled.
"No one is tireless. I just want to save face and don't want to show it." Lin Rui turned to look at her and then into the room behind him. "Why didn't you drink two drinks today?"
"I've had it." Yelena whispered, "Relax a little Lin Rui, do you still remember the Nordic legend I told you?"
"What legend?" Lin Rui said in a daze.
"The legend of Hall of Valkyrie and Valkyrie. The Nordics regard bravery as the supreme virtue and death in battle as the supreme glory, so they regard Odin as the god of victory and war. The Nordics believe that whenever there is a war in the world, At that time, Odin sent his maids Valkyrie to the battlefield, selected half of the warriors who died in the battle, carried them on their horses, and entered the Valhalla Palace from Bifrost on the Rainbow Bridge.
In the Valhalla Palace, there was another feast for the war dead who were taken to heaven. The beautiful Valkyries were also wearing pure white clothes at this time, and they diligently encouraged the warriors to drink. These Valkyries, generally said to be nine in number, served the delicious divine goat's milk in large cups and wild boar in large plates, inviting the warriors to drink in large quantities.
After the warriors were drunk and full, they often fought in the wilderness outside the palace until they died in battle and came back to life after sunset. There again the beautiful Valkyries waited, pouring out great cups of the goat's milk into each warrior's beloved cup, which was made from the skull of their enemy. In this way, they feast and compete every day, fight to the death during the day, and resurrect and feast at night. The warriors train in Valhalla. They are the powerful armies of the gods and will fight side by side with the gods at Ragnarok. "Yelena whispered, "This story was told to me by my father when I was a child. "
"Very legendary Nordic mythology." Lin Rui whispered.
"But it is also a true portrayal of us now." Yelena whispered, "We fight, revel after surviving the mission, until we die in a certain mission."
Lin Rui was silent. After a while, he slowly said, "I don't seem to like it."
"That's because you are still a warrior at heart, not a mercenary." Yelena shook her head and said, "So you will think too much. It is precisely because you think too much that you will become a good boss."
"My brothers' lives are all on our shoulders. How can we not think carefully?" Lin Rui shook his head, "Let's not talk about this anymore. How are the brothers inside?"
"Everyone is very excited that you stood up for the dead brothers, but everyone also knows that we may have offended that K." Yelena shook her head and said, "I still think you may be too impulsive."
"This is not an impulse, this is the result of my careful consideration." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I decided to do this after analyzing all the pros and cons."
Yelena was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I came out to find you because I have some good news to tell you."
"What's the good news?" Lin Rui turned around and asked.
"Guess?" Yelena hugged his shoulders and sat on his lap, looking at him.
Lin Rui smiled bitterly and said, "In this case, I really can't guess it."
"Last week, I spent all the money I made before." Yelena looked at him and said.
"What? Are you crazy?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"I'm not crazy, I entered the industry earlier than you. Although my expenses are not small, I still have some savings. I have been using the money I have to ask Angel to make some investments for me, and I have made a little profit. Last week, I asked Mrs. Long to help me buy a farm in Texas." Yelena said with a smile, "Between Houston and Columbus, there is a nice farm and an old house built more than a hundred years ago. Yesterday Mrs. Long My lawyer helped me complete all the procedures.¡±
"So you are a landlord now." Lin Rui teased. He was not sure whether Yelena could understand this word, because he found Yelena very happy, as happy as a child.
"We can't be mercenaries forever. Maybe one day we will retire. Maybe it's a nice place there." Yelena whispered.
"You spent all your savings?" Lin Rui looked at her and said, "I thought you would be willing to go back to Russia to live."
¡°I just want to find a place where no one knows us and live freely.¡± Yelena leaned against him and said.
Lin Rui nodded, "Good place, good idea. But we still have to face reality, we may not survive until that day."
"I know, maybe we won't be able to wait until the day of retirement, but people must have faith." Yelena turned her head and said, "We are mercenaries, but I need a goal to fight for this to convince myself - this It¡¯s my war.¡±
