Joja's "big move" stunned several of his buddies.

They had seen people come up and offer cigarettes and alcohol, but who had ever seen someone come up and hand out hand grenades and pistols?

But as for the hand grenades, they could let it slide. The pistols, on the other hand, were truly irresistible to a group of poor guys.

In this unfortunate place called Sudan, it was standard for PMC security personnel to carry an AK-47. However, it was quite difficult to obtain a close-quarters defense weapon.

The fact that the company provided them with bulletproof vests was already commendable. It was impossible for everyone to have a pistol.

It wasn't that the non-PMC companies didn't have money, but rather that the United Nations' arms embargo policy on South Sudan restricted them.

For a "newbie company" in South Sudan, obtaining the desired weapons through legal channels required some exploration.

This joint venture security company between China and Malaysia had not fully grasped the ways of the international security industry yet, so taking a detour was the most normal situation.

Joja's purpose in giving these "gifts" was actually to establish connections and see if he could develop some new clients.

Just as he was about to chat with a few people, he suddenly heard Nis's voice on his radio, "Boss, I've found the target, but I can't confirm if the sniper is inside."

Joja was taken aback. He greeted Lu Jun and turned around, running all the way to the rooftop of a small building.

Seeing Nis and Antar sitting behind a sandbag fortification, Joja rushed over and squatted down, asking, "How many people are there and where are they?"

Antar turned her head to look at Joja and said, "They are in the forest 1.6 kilometers southwest of here, on the backside of the hill. It seems like they are not planning to give up the attack, but rather waiting for something."

As Antar spoke, she showed Joja the tablet in her hand and pointed to the white figures on it, saying, "They don't seem to be setting up camp. There is a small road nearby. They must be waiting for something."

"What are they waiting for?"

Antar shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but it's either for reinforcement or support."

After hesitating for a moment, Antar whispered, "However, the enemy knows that we have a helicopter, yet they still chose to stay there. I suspect they have plans to attack the helicopter."

"Boss, I suggest you take off now and use the helicopter to disperse them. Otherwise, once the enemy obtains anti-aircraft weapons, if that little antelope that flew away comes back with reinforcements..."

Joja furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. In the end, he shook his head. He didn't believe that anyone would bring anti-aircraft weapons to South Sudan because those things simply couldn't find buyers.

But even if it wasn't anti-aircraft weapons, just RPGs alone would be enough to give the little antelope a hard time.

As long as the visibility conditions were good and they could infiltrate within a range of 800 meters, there would be danger when the little antelope landed.

The mining camp was established on the outskirts of a hill. There was a road in front and a river on the side, while the remaining southwest sides were all hills.

Once the enemy hid on the hills, they could directly use RPGs to bombard the temporary helipad in the warehouse area.

Helicopters were indeed useful, but they were too vulnerable when landing. Once hit, the casualties would be significant.

However, Joja was unwilling to venture into the jungle and engage in night battles with those guys.

Originally, he had taken 200,000 yuan from Lu Jun to suppress the enemy sniper and prevent them from continuing to harm the community members.

Now that it was clear that the enemy had withdrawn, launching a risky attack did not fit Joja's character. After all, night battles in the forest were too dangerous. If the enemy had set up booby traps or something, he would be in trouble if he stepped on them.

After careful consideration, Joja shook his head and said, "The helicopter won't be effective above the forest. If we fly too high, we won't be able to see, and if we fly too low, we'll be easily shot down.

Here's what we'll do. You guys keep an eye on the hills on both sides and mark all the positions that can attack the temporary helipad."

Joja gestured with a rangefinder and said, "The distance from the hills on both sides to our position is 700 to 1200 meters. Our guns should be able to cover that range.

The enemy probably doesn't know that we have drones. Even if they get RPGs, they will definitely concentrate their usage. As long as we can lock onto their positions, we can give them a surprise."

Antar knew that if the enemy had reinforcements, dispersing the current few people would just be self-consolation. It wouldn't be effective in causing casualties and would only strengthen their determination to continue the attack.

Upon hearing Joja's arrangement, Antar began to retrieve the drones.Seeing Joja's curiosity, Antar smiled and said, "This is a small unmanned aerial vehicle that Erica helped me improve. Although its endurance is only 40 minutes, it integrates both optical and infrared lenses, so it can be used at night as well."

At this moment, Joja felt that he really didn't misjudge the situation. Antar's role was even bigger than he had imagined, and the best part was that her personality was not bad, and she was easy to get along with.

After waiting for a few minutes, Joja watched as a small, low-noise unmanned aerial vehicle slowly landed on the rooftop. He smiled and said, "I like this kind of thing. Now you can come up with a code name for yourself."

Antar put the unmanned aerial vehicle into a dedicated box and plugged it in to charge.

Upon hearing Joja's words, Antar fell silent for a moment and said, "I don't mind. My duty is to observe, so let's call me 'Owl'."

Joja laughed and said, "Devil Bird and Owl, you two are a perfect match."

Just as Joja was joking, there was a loud explosion from the front of the small building, followed by the sudden sound of a gunshot, which startled Joja and made him hide his head behind sandbags.

"Sniper, the sniper hasn't left. Why didn't the unmanned aerial vehicle spot him?"

Antar remained calm. She leaned against the sandbags, closed her eyes, and estimated, "The gunshot came from the south. Judging from the sound of the wall breaking, the opponent should be using 7.62mm bullets.

The bullets arrived before the sound of the gunshot, so the sniper is at most 600 meters away from us.

He can't see us, and shooting at the small building is meant to intimidate us."

Apologizing, Antar looked at Joja and said, "I'm sorry, boss. The hiding spot the opponent chose should be able to block the thermal detection from above, so I didn't notice him."

Joja waved his hand and said, "It seems like the opponent is tough. I hate this kind of exposed position. It's not safe here. Once the opponent reaches the mountaintop, we'll become targets. Let's search for a position inside the small building."

Saying that, Joja turned and went downstairs, shouting loudly at Lu Jun, "Have someone clear out all the rooms on the south side of the small building. It's not safe there now."

Antar looked at Joja's movement and touched the sandbag behind her. She said to Nis, "Not safe here? Is our boss being too cautious?"

Nis smiled and shook her head, saying, "Our boss can hit a golf ball from 800 meters away, so he thinks every sniper in the world can do the same.

I think it's good. Being cautious on the battlefield is never excessive."
