Chapter 7 Escort the goods out of the city!
Logistics is one of the main businesses of the Lawrence family. With a large amount of capital investment, they quickly occupied the largest logistics market in the entire Santa Fe City.
The largest logistics warehouse in the west of Santa Fe City is an industry owned by Lawrence Group. Countless containers sail here every day and are then transferred to various ports in the world. The profit in a single day is enough to make ordinary people live a luxurious life. lifetime.
Outside the busy warehouse, two trucks full of goods were parked, and three guys who didn't look like they were easy to mess with were waiting quietly beside the trucks.
"This cargo is very important. Please pay attention to it and make sure nothing happens."
Conrad held a cigarette in his hand and turned around to warn his two companions: "If something goes wrong, the three of us tied together won't be able to compensate!"
Samuel, the driver, and Joshier, the security guard, nodded silently. After many years of cooperation, they had already adapted to Conrad's instructions to them.
Who told this guy to be a mercenary before? He has successfully completed many dangerous missions in the tropical rainforest and Gobi desert. In terms of combat ability, this guy can subdue them with one hand.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Joshelle, who was tall and thin and wearing a light body armor, asked, "We have waited here long enough."
"Wait a minute, Chris asked us to wait for him to come over before setting off."
Conrad threw down the cigarette butt and stamped it out, "Okay, they're here."
After saying that, he straightened his clothes and strode towards Chris who was walking from outside.
But then he noticed an old man with a beard next to Chris.
"Are there any other arrangements, Mr. Chris? We are all ready."
Conrad smiled and spoke to Chris.
Chris did not respond directly, but turned to introduce to Logan beside him: "This is Conrad. He used to be a mercenary and has very strong fighting ability."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the driver on the other side, "His name is Samuel. He has excellent driving skills. Even when driving on the most rugged mountain roads, he can make you sleep extraordinarily peacefully in the car."
"There is also Joshel. He is proficient in assembling various firearms and his driving skills are surprisingly good. He is the driver of the second car."
Logan was still wearing the cheap suit. He looked at the three people in front of him and nodded lightly, "Hello."
Chris smiled, then pointed at Logan and introduced: "This is Mr. James. He will complete the mission with you. I hope you can have a happy cooperation. By the way, you must obey James for any problems on the road." arrange."
"he?"
Conrad glanced at Logan in surprise, "He looks at least sixty years old, Mr. Chris, are you sure you're not kidding?"
"Of course not."
Chris looked at Conrad, his tone unquestionable, "I believe in my vision, Mr. James will be a good leader. If you want to get money, you'd better do as I say."
In the face of money, Conrad finally chose to remain silent. He just looked at Logan up and down, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously a little embarrassed to ask him to obey the old man's order.
"Okay, let's go. I hope you have a smooth journey."
Chris smiled and pointed to the van.
Logan said nothing and strode towards the co-pilot of the first truck.
The other people said nothing more and turned around to get in the car.
But before Josh turned around, Chris pulled him out alone and whispered in a low voice: "Keep an eye on James on the road. That guy is not trustworthy. If there is any change, I don't mind if you bring his body back, but you must Be careful, if you do it, make sure you hit it with a fatal blow, he is a dangerous guy.”
Joshier glanced sideways at Chris's fierce eyes, then turned to look at Logan who was already in the car, nodded silently, and turned around to get in the car.
The two cars left the warehouse and drove on the highway in the desert.
Logan looked out the window at the endless desert and remained silent.
This time the destination is Las Vegas, Nevada, which is very far away from Texas.
At the same time, this is also the first time Logan has left San Antonio and Texas.
After staying in San Antonio for so long, he almost forgot what the outside world was like.
He thought he would remain a hermit in San Antonio until he earned enough money to take his professor to the sea to retire.
Unexpectedly, now I have to leave this dry desert early for twenty thousand dollars.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Logan looked complicated, filled with emotions in his heart, and let out a long breath.
"Do you want to smoke?" Samuel suddenly handed over a cigarette. He already had one in his mouth, and the smoke he exhaled was instantly dispersed by the wind outside the car.
"Thank you." Logan took the cigarette, lit it with the cigarette lighter and took a deep breath. The white smoke blew away in the wind.
"Is this your first time participating in an escort mission?"
Samuel asked as he drove the car.
"Um."
Logan just nodded.
"Haha, if you steal Conrad's position as team leader, that guy will definitely feel uncomfortable. Be careful, he is not easy to mess with."
Samuel was holding a cigarette in his mouth, holding the steering wheel, and spoke casually.
Logan looked at Samuel in surprise.
Logan was a little surprised by the other party's words. He didn't expect that he would say this to him.
"I just do it for the money, nothing else."
Logan responded indifferently. He would leave as long as he made money. As for the team leader, he didn't care.
"Who among us is not interested in money?"
Samuel smiled and shook his head, "But people like us can only earn some hard-earned money at most. If we want to earn more US dollars, we can only enter the Lawrence family. Once we set foot there, we can truly get rid of the bottom and enter the upper class."
"Conrad wants to enter the Lawrence family?"
Logan glanced at the rearview mirror and looked at the truck behind him. He suddenly understood why Conrad cared so much about the position of team leader.
Samuel nodded, "Of course, that guy is very ambitious, and the team can complete the task well. Chris and others will naturally credit the credit to the team leader, so Conrad usually takes the position of team leader very seriously."
"In short, you should be careful. For the position of team leader, he may try his best to find fault with you, and may even deliberately make some noise to delay or fail the task, showing that he is the only choice for the team leader, so that Chris and others will pay more attention to him."
Samuel may not want to let anything go wrong during the task, or he may be kind and let Logan be careful of Conrad.
"Thank you for your reminder." Logan nodded indifferently. He didn't care about Conrad's potential threat.
Samuel smiled, "Don't thank me. If there is a problem with the mission, my bonus will be reduced. I hope this trip will be safe."
...
While chatting, the vehicle arrived at the checkpoint on the Texas border.
As a federal country, each state even has its own unique laws. If you want to travel across states, you need official certificates.
This is also the reason why Logan rarely goes out after entering Texas. As a wanted criminal by the government, he obviously can't get a certificate from formal channels.
But it is obvious that the Lawrence family has already opened up the network of relationships here.
The truck with the Lawrence family logo does not even need to stop at the checkpoint. It drives out of the checkpoint unimpeded and successfully crosses the Texas border.
As Chris said, this is a very long journey. Nevada is very far away from San Antonio. It was only halfway through the journey until the sun went down.
However, after leaving San Antonio, the original desert gradually faded, and lush green plants began to appear on both sides of the road. The route they chose was a forest road. At the end of the road was a small town. The convoy needed to cross the town before entering the new highway.
"Let's take turns tonight. I don't want to waste time on the road."
Logan glanced at the gradually darkening sky and turned to look at Samuel.
The longer you delay on the road, the more things may happen. Logan doesn't want to see any accidents happen.
"Okay." Samuel obviously didn't care about running all night, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "I'll tell them."
However, as soon as the voice fell, Samuel's face suddenly froze when he looked at the rearview mirror, "Wait, what are they doing!"
Logan hurriedly looked at the rearview mirror, only to see that the truck that had been following behind suddenly turned and stopped outside a tavern.
"Stop and take a look!" Logan ordered.
Samuel hurriedly stopped the vehicle.
At this time, Conrad and Josh in the car behind had also gotten out of the car and were about to enter the bar.
Logan stepped forward to stop them, "What are you doing? Did I say we were going to stop?"
Conrad glanced at Logan and said disdainfully, "Old man, I don't care what you think, but I need to rest now. If you want to leave, go by yourself. We need to drink some wine here and set off tomorrow morning!"
Logan frowned and said with a sullen face, "I say, get in the car now and drive overnight!"
Conrad just glanced at Logan, snorted coldly, strode forward without caring, and pushed Logan away with his shoulder and walked into the bar.
