Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 392 Unexpected Conflict

The old man's business was not very good at the beginning, but since Shanying sat behind his stall and ate the special hot dog with big mouthfuls, people started to patronize his stall one after another.

The old man still had time to answer Shanying's questions during his busy schedule...

"I used to live in Nenana, west of Fairbanks. I had a cabin there, and when I was young I was the best hunter around Fairbanks."

The old man was probably worried that Shanying would not believe him, so he took off a bracelet made of animal teeth from his wrist and threw it to Shanying. Then he pointed at the large Alaskan dog and said, "Simone has been with me for many years. The scars on his body were caused by a brown bear, and then the brown bear became my trophy.

This is the bracelet made from the brown bear's teeth, and if you're willing to pay $50, it can be yours.

Believe me, this thing may save your life when you encounter a wolf. "

Shanying finished the special hot dog in a few bites, then looked at the bear tooth bracelet in his hand and asked curiously, "Is this thing legal?"

The old man shrugged and said, "I don't know about other places, but legal hunting is protected in Alaska."

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle smiled and nodded, saying, "I came here because I heard that hunting is legal in Alaska.

I want to go to the Yukon River Basin and shoot some big game. Do you have any recommendations?"

The old man frowned and said, "There are moose, reindeer, and brown bears around the Yukon River, but it's not easy to get a hunting license."

Shanying said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if I can't get a permit. I am more interested in the snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and wilderness of Alaska.

If you can’t hunt big animals, camping and fishing is actually a good option.”

The old man nodded and said, "Then you need to find a good captain. The salmon taste very good during this period. A good captain can take you to a calm tributary and tundra suitable for camping."

Shanying felt that the old man seemed to be very familiar with Alaska. He took out a hundred dollars and put it into the old man's cash box, then said with a smile: "The Yukon River is very long, do you have any suggestions?

For example, where is the most worthwhile place to go, where is the most beautiful scenery...

It would be better if you could tell me which places are more dangerous, so that I can know whether the guides' recommendations are correct or not?"

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The Yukon River is very beautiful along the way. If you want to fish, I suggest you go downstream. If you want to hunt, it's best to go upstream in this season."

After Shanying heard this, he nodded seriously to show that he had taken note, then pretended to be hesitant and said, "Will it be dangerous?

When I was at the hotel, the housekeeper told me that some places in the Yukon River have been uneasy recently, so I’m a little unsure…”

The old man listened and said noncommittally: "Danger? Alaska itself represents danger!

But the hotel manager is right. Some of the indigenous settlements downstream are not peaceful recently and are not suitable for tourists to visit. "

Shanying asked curiously: "Why?"

The old man shook his head and said, "What else could it be? Gold!

It's summer in Alaska, and the gold diggers are back...

Those damn borers don't care about the local environment at all, so they often clash with local people. Last month, dead bodies were found in St. Marys and Marshall in the lower reaches of the Yukon River...

If you want to go fishing, avoid that section!"

Shanying didn't expect that he could get useful information just by chatting with someone. After Baran finished eating, he packed a special hot dog to take back to the butcher, then asked where there was a place selling dog food nearby, and walked with Baran into the fairly lively market...

One advantage of being a wealthy big customer is that as long as you spend enough money at a stall, you can chat with the stall owner at will and find out some useful information.

The conflict between locals and gold diggers...

The conflict between environmental groups and oil companies that regularly come to Alaska to protest every year...

The conflict between indigenous peoples and logging companies…

The conflict between hunters and the government over hunting licenses...

All these conflicts show that Alaska is not peaceful!
Shanying had no way of telling whether the news was true or false, and had no way of confirming what Black Fox's goal was.

However, a real 'expert' will come to him for a job in the next two days, so he is not in a hurry at all...

After a stroll through the market, I returned to the hotel with a few hunting knives and a bag of dog food.

Butler Serek learned that the occupant of the presidential suite had gone out, so he stayed in the hotel lobby...

When Shanying appeared, Serek went to meet him energetically, asked two waiters to help Shanying take the things, and then looked at Baran, who was obviously in a much better mood, and said with a smile: "This is a good dog...

It has a chance to regain some of its wildness in Alaska!"

After hearing this, Shanying looked at Serek curiously and said, "From what you said, someone has already provided you with a travel plan?"

Serek nodded and said, "Yes, sir, the largest hunting guide company in Alaska has prepared a hunting route for you...

The specific itinerary has been sent to your room, you can take a look at it before going to bed..."

Serek winked at Shanying and said with a smile, “But don’t rush to make a decision. Sometimes the biggest companies don’t provide the best services.

Some small and capable companies are more willing to meet your wishes and help you complete a pleasant trip. "

Shanying listened and said with a smile: "Do you have any good recommendations?" Serek shook his head slightly and said: "Everything depends on your needs. I can only provide some assistance when you feel hesitant."

After hearing this, Shanying nodded slightly and said, "I do need help. The locals know the abilities of those guides and captains better.

I went out and walked around today and met some interesting locals who made me realize that travel itineraries can be changed and that the right people are the most important thing to really understand Alaska!"

Serek nodded in understanding. Just as he reached out to press the elevator button and prepared to send Shanying upstairs, a scream suddenly came from the hotel lobby...

Several masked strong men rushed into the hotel lobby, stabbed a middle-aged man carrying an outdoor bag to death with a knife, then snatched his bag and ran out of the hotel...

The security guard in front of the hotel wanted to stop them, but was scratched on the arm by the other party. When several security guards pulled out their guns and tried to surround the burly men with knives, the burly men turned around and rushed into the hotel, as if they wanted to rush out from other directions.

However, they were obviously not familiar with the internal layout of the hotel. After running for a while, they actually rushed to the elevator room where Shanying and the others were.

Seeing that they had reached a dead end, the three masked men looked around and saw Shanying and Serek who were waiting for the elevator...

Serek realized something was wrong, and he kept tapping the buttons of the old elevator, as if that would make it open faster.

Shanying whistled at Barang while turning his back to the elevator door. Then Barang moved sideways two meters, the fur on his neck stood up, and he growled threateningly at the three masked men.

Baran's deterrent power was definitely enough. Originally, they only needed to turn around and run to other places, and Mountain Eagle would not be able to mess with them.

However, as the hotel security approached, when one of the masked men pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Baran, and approached Shanying, things took a turn in another direction.

Shanying could feel Serek's legs trembling beside him...

Seeing a strong man with tattoos all over his naked body, pointing a gun at Barang and yelling at him...

Shanying raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons, and said in a slow and firm tone: "Sir, you should find a way to escape now instead of staying here and causing trouble for me.

If you miss my dog, it will tear your throat out...

You still have time to change your mind!"

Facing Shanying's kind words of advice, the strong man seemed to be stimulated. He suddenly pointed the gun at Shanying's head and shouted loudly: "Why don't you shut up, you damn Asian monkey?

Shut your damn mouth and get in the elevator, quick..."

Shanying stood at the elevator entrance. Facing the strong man's threat, he said calmly: "Just to remind you, this elevator will only stop at the door of the presidential suite on the top floor. You can't escape through it."

As Shanying said this, he looked at the hotel security guard who had already chased after him. He said to the strong man who was panting like a wild bull, "You can't run away now..."

The gun-wielding muscular man, who was clearly not in control, looked back and was about to take Shanying hostage when Shanying's left hand suddenly grabbed the slide of the gun and pulled it down and twisted it to complete the action of grabbing the gun. At the moment, his right hand opened its palm and quickly pushed against the muscular man's Adam's apple...

The sturdy man, who had been extremely excited, knelt on the ground, covering his throat, sticking out his tongue and making "cough" and "cough" sounds, seeking help from his two companions.

The two knives-wielding sturdy men froze for a moment. When one of them wanted to swing his knife at Shanying, Barang grabbed his wrist...

"what……"

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the fear of being bitten by a police dog. When Baran, who weighed 60 to 70 kilograms, shook his body vigorously, the knife-wielding man fell to the ground...

The first thing he did was not to fight with Baran, but to try hard to save his wrist from Baran's mouth.

This inexperienced approach made the situation worse for his wrist.

This group of people were obviously just thugs. The last sturdy man with a knife actually forgot the existence of Mountain Eagle and the hotel security. He jumped up and down and circled around Barang and his companions, wanting to rescue his companions but not daring to get too close.

When a black security guard hit this guy with a Taser, he was shocked to the point of peeing his pants...

"what……"

Shanying saw that the hotel security had taken control of the situation. He quickly removed the magazine from his pistol, pulled the slide to check the chamber, and then handed the pistol and the magazine to a white security guard who was approaching cautiously...

Seeing the white security guard heaved a sigh of relief, Shanying blew a whistle to call back Barang, then pointed at the masked man who was already a little out of breath and said to the white security guard: "Before the ambulance comes, it's best to let the hotel doctor intubate him...

I was a little nervous just now, so I didn’t control the strength well. "

Shanying looked at the stunned Serek and said, “Is this considered self-defense?

Will the police come to trouble me?"

Serek was stunned for a moment, then nodded decisively and said, “Don’t worry, our hotel has complete legal consulting services.

We have full surveillance, and I can testify for you that you fought back when your life was in danger.

According to Alaska law, there is no limit to the intensity of self-defense counterattacks!"

Shanying nodded slightly after hearing this. He took a look at the backpack that the three strong men had snatched away. A few inconspicuous grains of gold sand fell from the side pocket of the backpack to the ground...

Frowning and sizing up the burly men, Shanying led Baran into the elevator, nodded to the respectful security guards, and said, "I'm upstairs. If the police need me, I can help with the investigation...

Of course, it’s better not when I’m sleeping, thank you! ”

I haven’t been feeling well these past two days, and there’s still one chapter tonight!
