King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

```

There was no mercy or hesitation, these people were no longer human when they treated their own kind like pigs and dogs.

There were only about a dozen people in the barracks, and by the time Joe Ga had fired 9 bullets from his dual M9s, there were no survivors left in the barracks.

Dorian finally killed an enemy who was dizzy and trying to reach for a gun, he looked around at the bodies, all shot in the chest and head, smacked his lips, and then closed his mouth in frustration.

Seventeen people, he killed 5 with his G36C, while his boss with two pistols took down 9.

It was unreasonably fast, and Dorian wasn't sure if it was just his impression, but he noticed that the boss' movements had become faster and more efficient after completing combat diving training.

In the past, the boss always liked to aim for the head, but now it was different, he aimed for the chest first to increase speed, and then for the head with his second shot, not necessarily in order, but always making sure to land an extra bullet in the enemy's head.

In just about 15 seconds, there were no living people standing in the barracks.

Karman didn't even have to fire a shot, the old man practically became a spectator after entering the barracks.

Indeed, there was no opportunity to intervene!

Two flashbang grenades exploded inside the approximately 40-square-meter barracks, those who were sleeping soundly didn't even have 30 seconds to react to what was happening, so they couldn't even mount a decent counterattack.

What was there left to fight?

The tall Ayu came over for a look and realizing it was all over, she immediately moved a few steps towards the laborers' shanties, crouching down to set up cover, preventing the startled laborers from doing anything irrational.

At that moment, the gunfire from barracks number two also ceased...

"Barracks two is secure!"

Following Sanderson's report, 'Scorpion's' voice came through the channel, "The warehouse is secure, are you sure you want to destroy the machine guns? These two are practically new, and the ammo is of very good quality."

Joe Ga gestured for Dorian to check the barracks for any survivors, then pressed his radio and said, "Then keep them, take them back and mount them on the pickup truck, they're a bit bulky, but the quality is definitely undisputed."

After speaking, Joe Ga stepped out of the barracks and glanced at the commotion from the far-off laborer's shanty, noticing those laborers didn't even dare to come out and check the situation even in such circumstances, he let out a light sigh, and again pressed his radio, " 'Vanguard' take your men to get the generators up and running, King Kong keep an eye on the laborers, everyone else clean up the battlefield and gather the weapons, I'm heading to the warehouse."

There were many diesel generators inside the camp, and when Joe Ga and Karman got to the warehouse, several incandescent lights came to life.

Firstly illuminated was the pigsty-like laborers' shanty, the naked laborers panicked under the harsh white light, covering their eyes with their hands, wailing as they huddled together as if that would prevent them from harm.

Dorian really couldn't stand such scenes, he swiftly climbed up the watchtower, adjusted the direction of the incandescent light, then to his surprise discovered a laborer trying to crawl out of the camp.

In the moment he was illuminated by the light, the man froze, then stood up and cursed at Dorian's direction in despair, then closed his eyes, seemingly waiting for death's arrival.

But after more than ten seconds, the expected gunshot did not occur.

The man paused, then tentatively ran a few steps outside the camp and stopped.

Realizing that no one was attacking him, he excitedly dashed into the jungle outside the camp, and after confirming that nobody would attack him, he surprisingly didn't flee but instead rushed back to the laborers' shanty, vigorously pulling at the slaves huddled together, loudly speaking something in the local language...

Watching the laborers in the shanty calming down after the man's shouting and then falling into a bewildered state, Dorian shook his head, jumped down from the watchtower, greeted the still vigilant Ayu, then headed towards the warehouse.

'Poison Snake' from Team C dragged a lamp inside the warehouse after the generator started, making it convenient for the boss to inspect the spoils of war.

The warehouse was not small and was divided into an inner and outer chamber.

The moment Joe Ga entered, he smelled a stench of decay.

Shining a flashlight around, he looked at the cassava piled up in the corner and some rotten vegetables of unknown varieties, shaking his head, he walked towards the inner chamber's doorway with the flashlight.

Seeing a lock hanging on the door, he motioned backward, and then Karman spread the folding stock on his AK74U and smashed down hard on it.

As the door was tentatively opened, Karman pushed it and led the way inside.

With the flashlight in Joe Ga's hand illuminating the small room of only about ten square meters, a gleam of gold shone through.

On two racks standing up were three trays, each about one meter in diameter.

There was gauze lining the bottom of the trays with a layer of gold grains of various sizes spread upon it.

Joe Ga checked with his Omnipotent Toolbox and found it was indeed gold, a total of 5674 grams, the purity was not very high, but after refinement, there should be about 4 kilograms left.

If Karman's estimation was correct, assuming that this gold mine could produce 4 kilograms of gold every ten days, that would be 144 kilograms a year.

```

Considering the labor and equipment issues on-site, if Joe Ga is willing to invest, a multifold increase in production would definitely not be a problem.

In that case, the most conservative estimate is that there could be nearly 20 million US Dollars of stable income per year.

This is a conservative estimate because Joe Ga's mining area is very large, and the current mining technology in use here is quite crude, which means the fine gold contained in the rocks is basically being missed.

With more than 200 laborers, they can extract and sift out 4 kilograms of gold every ten days; this is a rich mine, a mine so rich it could not be richer.

Joe Ga, for the sake of his own gold mine, had deliberately consulted professionals. Gold mining is generally carried out in three steps according to the situation of the mine.

The first step is screening, and the machinery at the mine is now just for this purpose.

The raw ore, after the first stage of crushing, enters the double-layer vibrating screen for sorting.

The second step is gravity separation; the current mine uses mineral density differences for this, employing equipment like sluices, shaking tables, jig machines, and short-cone cyclones as a set of gravity separation machines.

These men at this step manually pick out the gold and then finish, but in fact, the discarded ore still contains gold. If Joe Ga is willing, he could still extract the remaining gold from it.

There are ready methods, such as the ancient "cyanide extraction process," to extract the leftover gold from these abandoned ores.

Of course, the use of a cyanide solution will cause serious pollution, but Joe Ga has other options, which would require a complete set of equipment, and it might take a little time to get ready.

He took out a cowhide bag and put all the gold into the bag.

Joe Ga turned his head and glanced at Karman, saying fiercely, "Those guys have been stealing for a long time; I need to get my stuff back.

How long do you think it will be before the supply delivery people arrive?"

Karman put the tray back on the shelf and then walked out of the small storeroom inside to look at the pile of cassava outside, saying, "At most two days, or people here will start going hungry.

I will arrange it. Those people definitely won't be able to run away. As long as we confirm their camp's location, I will accompany you to collect the debt."

While saying this, Karman glanced at the increasingly bustling camp and gestured sideways, saying, "You'd better go out and take a look..."

Joe Ga had also heard Ayu's berating outside by now. He nodded, walked out for a look, and found the situation was indeed pretty bad.

A group of laborers, nearly skin and bones and barely clothed, stood in the distance like zombies, watching them with numb eyes. No matter how one black man tried to incite them, they remained indifferent.

Seeing such a scene, Joe Ga quickly pressed on the communicator, saying, "Devil Bird, Owl, stand by. Damn it, these guys who don't treat people like human beings deserve to die!"

As he said this, Joe Ga looked at the approaching Dorian and pointed at the jumping man, asking, "Who is that guy?"

Dorian spread his hands and said, "I don't know; just now he wanted to escape from the labor camp, and I didn't stop him. But after he ran out, he came back."

Dorian then glanced at the man and said, "Although I don't know what he's saying, this guy has guts."

Joe Ga looked at the black man who still had some muscle mass on him and was tearfully scolding his companions' numbness. He waved at Sanderson not far away, saying, "Go look in the barracks, find some clothes for them. They are people, not beasts."

After Sanderson nodded, he entered the barracks filled with corpses alongside the Diamond team, and a few minutes later, they came out carrying several boxes.

These laborers actually had clothes, but because this is a gold mine, their clothes were confiscated. Then, over time, the laborers themselves forgot they needed something like clothes.

When Sanderson and his team threw the boxes full of tattered clothes in front of them, the laborers stepped back in fear.

Seeing the soldiers a bit unsure of what to do, Joe Ga walked over and took several items of clothing from the stinking boxes, tossing them to the active black man to gesture for him to put them on.

The black man hesitated when he caught the clothes, then, surprised, put them on. Then, looking at Joe Ga with his face painted in tactical camouflage, he stammered in English, "You, you're here to rescue us?"

Joe Ga shook his head and said, "No, we're here to inspect my property. This gold mine is my private property, but now much of the stuff inside has been stolen. Someone has to pay the price."

The black man took a few steps back in fright upon hearing this and then waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "It wasn't us; we were forced, it was Boykin, the people of Boykin took the gold."

Joe Ga looked at the frightened black man whose English had suddenly become fluent. He nodded and said, "I know it's not you. Have them put on the clothes; we have ladies here, and it's an unsightly view."

"Furthermore, there will be doctors and chefs arriving in a few hours. They'll check your health, and after you've eaten, you can decide for yourselves whether or not you want to leave."

The black man, surprised, said, "You're going to let us go?"

Joe Ga frowned and nodded, "As long as you want, you can leave at any time!"

"However, I suggest you wait for the doctor to arrive; otherwise, many of you won't make it out of the jungle."
