"These fools are asking for trouble. Couldn't they have come a little later? They're broke and have nothing to gain, yet they're playing with Human Body bombs. Don't mess this up for me." After ensuring that Nobunaga Hideyoshi was still concerned, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but bare her teeth in frustration.
To be honest, among the forces most eager to organize such a virus, Black September's name undoubtedly came to mind. However, it was clear that without even a country of their own, relying on funding from places like Iraq for their Liberation Organization, maintaining their operations was probably enough.
But extracting any enticing benefits for the organization was clearly impossible. They would likely still lean towards oil bosses from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
Selling to them not only promised immense profits but also posed less risk of backlash and retaliation from the Jewish community compared to countries like Iran and Iraq. The balance of risk and reward was most favorable.
The organization prioritized its own interests and had no desire to deal with extreme multi-national groups unless the benefits they offered were worth lowering their standards.
In other words, if those barefooted men truly had plans regarding the United Arab Emirates, they wouldn't care about the means they employed.
Of course, they wouldn't deliberately sabotage anything related to the United Arab Emirates, which belonged to the Arabic camp; at most, they would act to achieve their own goals.
However, if their focus shifted to the virus and something got broken during a scramble for it, that would genuinely lead to significant trouble.
This was something Yang Xiaoyou, currently in Dubai, was unwilling to witness.
She had already indicated that Nobunaga Hideyoshi should continue with the arms bidding project he was involved in and sell this information to the United Arab Emirates. Yet, whether the United Arab Emirates' defense system could handle those two infiltrating forces remained uncertain.
"Why leave a week later? It would be better to leave sooner. Well, that thing probably won't be stored in such an important city anymore; safety is somewhat guaranteed." After pondering for a while, Yang Xiaoyou appeared somewhat helpless. The profits in the Middle East were simply too tempting to abandon.
Risk and income were always proportional. Although many forces were involved, since she had already begun establishing roots in preparation for the upcoming upheaval, Yang Xiaoyou wasn't ready to give up.
Perhaps disrupting the balance and compromises among major powers could lead to new opportunities.
Chaos and opportunity complemented each other. If she were back home, Yang Xiaoyou would dislike chaos; after all, she lived there. But since she was in the Middle East, let it be chaotic.
"Ahh, I still haven't dealt with the Demoness issue, and now something else pops up here," she complained while rubbing her temples in annoyance.
Since she had already come this far with Liang Wuxuan, there was no doubt she would have to help address her family's elder's issues—whether for her sake or her own.
Similarly, many coveted her beauty and family background; whether it was that Your Highness or the Martial Arts Club President from the hospital—these were just two examples among many.
Although these two problems were temporarily resolved, it didn't mean other troubles wouldn't arise—especially once the Demoness was fully exposed. Those lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity would surely jump out as well; these were challenges she would inevitably face later on.
Having committed herself already, Yang Xiaoyou resolved to face whatever came with composure. She had that much responsibility within her.
Of course, he felt confident and assured when it came to dealing with the Liang Family's resistance, but when faced with Meng Lu and Feng Lin, he could only resort to underground activities for the time being. Otherwise, he might end up being pinned down by Meng Lu and then cut down by Feng Lin.
The ending of Machete? What the hell? Just getting killed is considered a masterpiece? Damn it.
Thinking of the bizarre scenes flashing through his mind, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but shiver all over. Now, he had yet another reason to improve his strength; otherwise, he would really be killed.
Having stepped into this level alongside Liang Wuxuan, many hidden dangers that had been accumulating domestically were also eliminated.
However, similarly, due to the recent operation atop Burj Dubai, he still appeared overly excited. Even after calming down in the hotel, he couldn't settle his mind, making Zhang Peng, who was becoming increasingly haggard for unknown reasons in the same room, feel a chill at Yang Xiaoyou's seemingly agitated demeanor.
On the other hand, perhaps due to Yang Xiaoyou exhausting himself physically, the Demoness only teased him a couple of times during meals before starting to rest, allowing Yang Xiaoyou ample time to recuperate.
With Li Xiao hospitalized, there was now more free time for activities. Accompanied by a tour guide, the other students in the Field Trip Group didn't seem affected by Li Xiao's incident at all; even the interruption at Burj Dubai didn't dampen their spirits significantly.
After another day passed, Yang Xiaoyou received contact from Nobunaga Hideyoshi once again.
"Are you hiring us? Hmm, hiring?" Upon hearing this news from the Housekeeper, a thoughtful expression crossed Yang Xiaoyou's face.
According to his request, Nobunaga Hideyoshi had leveraged the arms trade to inform him of information that the UAE Intelligence Agency had yet to gather. The benefit gained from this was a nearly one million dollar deal. Although this included factors related to initial labor costs, this information merely served as supplementary support.
However, this transaction proved to be quite rewarding.
In addition to securing this deal, the intelligence officer from the United Arab Emirates who was responsible for liaising with Nobunaga Hideyoshi also expressed a request to hire elite personnel from Hive Security Company to assist with a certain mission.
Hiring and employing may seem similar at first glance, but there is a clear difference in posture.
Now Hive Security Company had gained some reputation, especially in cutting-edge fields and security aspects. However, through Nobunaga Hideyoshi's probing and inquiries, it became clear why they were looking to hire personnel from Hive Security Company.
A significant factor was the performance of survivors from Kapa City during the Tokyo Incident; in other words, they valued Hive Security Company's experience in dealing with the H Virus.
The recent global outbreaks of H Virus had indeed drawn public and governmental attention. Still, those who had firsthand experience and performed nearly flawlessly—Hive Security Company stood alone in this regard.
This was not comparable to future cleanup operations; it was about breaking through with real strength in those dead cities—true hard power.
They possessed firsthand knowledge about Infected Entities and viruses along with genuine practical experience.
Even soldiers can feel a twinge of discomfort and make judgment errors when facing non-human Infected Entities for the first time.
Back then, Yang Xiaoyou had imparted her methods for dealing with Infected Entities without holding back, all in hopes of increasing her leverage in the future.
"I've confirmed the situations in Tokyo and Kapa City with you several times. Is there a mission location? If it's Dubai, I’ll have to run," Yang Xiaoyou said, feeling a headache coming on after receiving such news.
Public transport and subway systems in Dubai are not well-developed; if any issues arise, Yang Xiaoyou wasn't confident she could get people out safely.
"It's not Dubai; it's a place near Saudi Arabia in the Abu Dhabi Emirate," Nobunaga Hideyoshi replied, which eased Yang Xiaoyou's worries a bit.
Although the Abu Dhabi Emirate is the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, its population density isn't that significant, with many desert areas leading to a scattered population.
Not being in a place like Dubai was certainly better, and the other party was only confirming some issues. Yang Xiaoyou realized she might have overreacted in her inquiries.
However, the compensation offered and the promises made afterward were impossible to refuse.
"Just right, I still have some time. I'll arrange for two people to come with me to check it out first," Yang Xiaoyou decided, taking advantage of the waiting period to take matters into her own hands.
Hopefully, there won't be any trouble.
