Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 431 Lively Camp

Since Reddick killed Billy the Horned Man and attributed most of the credit to the leadership of Anchorage and the state government, he was quickly promoted to the Alaska Department of Safety, responsible for coordinating the work of the state police...

When the state police received the alarm from the indigenous people, Redick acted quickly. He organized a group of elite police forces and summoned a team of STRE. They flew to Marshall, the town closest to the Mountain Eagle camp.

Redick was accompanied by his two nephews, Michael and Scott...

He had originally promised to let his two nephews be responsible for the security of Mountain Eagle Travel, but due to work transfer issues, this matter was delayed.

Now that Redick had confirmed the determination of the big boss, Mountain Eagle, to settle down in Alaska, he simply transferred his two nephews to the town of Marshall, which was very close to the camp. After completing the work transfer procedures with them, he took the two young state police to the camp.

The fat man Redick brought his two nephews, loaded a large amount of supplies that Mountain Eagle needed onto the ship, and then rushed from Marshall to the camp by ship.

He didn't realize how serious the situation was...

When the boat approached the camp's pier, Redick saw a sign made of spliced wooden boards with two slightly abstract brown bears painted on it and the words "Brown Bear Camp" written below. He smiled and said to his two nephews, "This place looks pretty good, a little different from what I imagined...

The boss here is a very capable person, but I don't think he will stay here for long. If he is not here, you can come and walk around more often...

Becoming friends with that guy will be good for your future."

Michael and Scott are both young men under 30 years old. After hearing what his uncle said, Michael, the slightly bald elder brother, asked curiously, "Why? He's not even a local!
Our duty is to maintain law and order around Marshalltown. Just because he bought a campground, should we pay special attention to him?"

Redick knew very well that his two nephews still had the innocence of their early police days. He did not refute Michael, but shook his head and said, "First of all, Yue Shan is a good person. Secondly, the industry and donations he has made in Anchorage have made him very popular with the Anchorage City Government.

Most importantly, the biggest function of this camp is to serve the surrounding indigenous tribes.

The daily necessities and trading services provided here allow the indigenous people to live in peace. Once this place no longer exists, the cost of living for the indigenous people will increase two to three times.

Who do you think will be in trouble when the indigenous people can no longer hold on? "

After hearing this, Michael suddenly said, "I understand. If we can stabilize this camp and the Yue Mountain, we can basically stabilize the surrounding indigenous people, right?"

Redick looked at his innocent nephew and said with a smile, "Michael, you and Scott are both good police officers, but there are still many things you don't understand.

When you stay in Marshall for a long time, you will understand that the management power in your hands can only be directed to the residents and indigenous peoples within the jurisdiction...

For a key figure like Yue Shan, you can only provide services and you must make him satisfied.

Unless you can come up with a plan to replace the function of this camp and implement it, you don't even have the qualifications to speak loudly to him."

Michael frowned and said, "We are police officers. If he breaks the law, should I just turn a blind eye?"

Redick was amused by his nephew's honesty. He jumped onto the dock as soon as the ship docked, then stood there looking at Michael and Scott and said, "First of all, Yue Shan is also a policeman, and secondly, there is no need for him to commit a crime here.

Another thing I want to remind you is that you were born in America.

Even the IRS (federal taxation agency) that you all hate the most has a thick list...

It will tell those "upright" tax investigators which people cannot be touched and which people need to be discussed in a meeting with many people before deciding whether to investigate.

You should also make a list in your mind and put Yueshan at the top of the list.

Because as long as he feels unhappy and chooses to give up here, unless you can turn a blind eye to the large number of indigenous people who are left without food and clothing, your conscience will make your career like purgatory. "

Redick's words made the two young men fall into silence. Just when he wanted to say something to remind them, little Ruby trotted all the way to the dock, looked at the fat man Redick and said happily: "Hey, Officer Redick..."

As Ruby looked at the ship loaded with goods, he grinned and said, "Have the new chainsaws arrived? Our boss is going to hold an event to exchange king salmon and fur for chainsaws. Now the indigenous people within dozens of kilometers are waiting for my news..."

Redick was stunned for a moment, he looked at the messy camp and said, "Didn't someone report that there were vicious beasts hurting people here?

Why are you holding an event at this time? "

Little Ruby jumped onto the cargo ship anxiously and looked through the cargo boxes. When he saw what he wanted, he happily went up to the dock and pulled Redick towards the camp, saying, "Our boss organized a hunt yesterday. They killed 10 wolves and captured three people alive.

It was the people from that Dimension Card Company who were doing animal experiments, and they controlled wild animals to attack humans..."

Michael, who was following him, frowned and said, "As far as I know, Dimension Card Company has purchased a large piece of land. If they conduct animal domestication experiments on their land, you have no right..."

As Michael was speaking, he heard two terrifying roars coming from not far away. When he turned his head to look over...

"Oh shit, what the hell is this?"

Two muscular wolves with mottled fur were tied to two large trees near the dock. When they passed by, two giant wolves jumped out from under the trees and rushed towards them with bared teeth...

The thick iron chain was instantly stretched straight, making a crisp buzzing sound, and then the two giant wolves were pulled back...

It's not surprising that there are wolves in Alaska, but anyone with eyes can see that these two wolves are abnormal.

Little Ruby picked up a thick wooden stick and hit a wolf on the head with it, breaking the stick. However, the giant wolf seemed to feel nothing and continued to roar terrifyingly at Redick and the others.

The fatter Redick subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at little Ruby and said, "Is this the evil beast you were talking about?"

Little Ruby saw that he had no good way to deal with the two wolves, so he nodded and said, "That's them, there are many more like them in the mountains.

The boss said that Dimension Card Company is doing biochemical experiments inside, and these are all transformed monsters. Once they enter the wild, Alaska's ecology will suffer a huge blow!"

At this time, Redick realized that something was wrong. He looked at the noisy camp not far away and asked anxiously, "Where is your boss?"

Little Ruby spread his hands and said, "The boss took his daughter to go fishing. He said that if you arrive, you can set up your own tent...

Oh, he said the three people they caught have confessed. If you are still worried, you can go and ask them yourself.

But an FBI agent has arrived first, so you may have to wait a while!"

When Redick heard that the FBI was also here, he was relieved, realizing that Shanying had not tricked him this time...

With the FBI as the big boss in the front, the Alaska State Troopers just need to provide support.

Looking at the excited little Ruby, Redick sighed and said, "Who else is in the camp?"

Little Ruby thought for a moment and said, "An ATF tactical team, an HRT hostage rescue team, and a few reporters filming everywhere..."

Ruby looked at Redick with a strange expression and said, “Your STERs are here too, but they are not as impressive as I saw before.

When they see HRT, they always shrink their necks, not like tough guys at all! ”

Michael and Scott looked at each other in bewilderment at Ruby's words...

The difference between Alaska's STER and HRT is like the difference between the Boy Scouts and the regular army...

Whether in terms of training level or equipment level, the HRT under the jurisdiction of the FBI is the top tactical team in the United States.

It’s just that due to the different professional division of labor, HRT is a little less aggressive than the famous seals and deltas, but their abilities are actually not bad at all.

Redick knew that things were definitely not as simple as Ruby said. The FBI even sent HRT, which showed that things were very serious...

He rubbed his temple painfully and said, “Okay, I get it, can you find me a good place to set up the tent?

It would be best if it was close to a toilet. I have been having stomach problems lately, and if I can’t stand it anymore, I may have to go back to Anchorage for medical treatment at any time.”

As they talked, they walked to the center of the camp...

Old Ruby no longer looked like he was about to die at any moment. After changing into clean clothes, he looked like a competent pawnshop attendant. He sat behind a huge wooden table and patiently appraised the furs brought by the Indians...

The quality of the fur determines the price...

A reindeer skin costs $50 to $150.

A wolf skin costs $200 to $600.

A fox skin costs $150 to $300.

A bear skin costs $500 to $1500.

The Indians not only brought the furs of large animals, but also the furs of beavers, muskrats, snow hares and other wild animals that they had stored at home.

Whenever old Ruby calculated the price of the furs and the two parties reached an agreement, the old guy would stamp the price with a digital stamp on a card the size of a business card.

Then the Indians can use this card to go shopping at the surrounding daily necessities stalls...

All the children in Huai En's tribe who could count were hired. These children would accompany these fellow tribesmen and introduce them to the prices of the items on the stalls.

Gasoline, bullets, shoes, windbreakers, shotguns, nails, asphalt tiles, color steel tiles, tools...

Everything is about 30% more expensive than in Anchorage, but these Indians think it is very reasonable and cheap.

For the first time in more than a decade, Old Ruby discovered that the camp could actually make money...

As long as you purchase in large quantities, you can spread the transportation costs over each item. At the same time, as long as you can endure the pain of capital backlog and extend the transaction time, the camp actually has room for profit.

Because as long as the goods here are complete, it can not only serve several tribes near Huai En, but also serve Indian tribes farther away.

Of course, if you want to make a real profit, you have to process the furs again and then find a market for them.

But that is not what Old Ruby is considering now. On paper, the camp is profitable and everyone is happy.

Watching little Ruby rush into the crowd and loudly announce that the chainsaw has arrived, and then people cheered loudly...

Looking at a tent not far away, there was a group of guys wearing FBI jackets with serious looks on their faces.

Redick stopped his nephew who wanted to go over to find out what was going on and said, "Are you hungry?

Let’s go find something to eat…”
