Four days later, in the US border city of McNeil.
Hunter, wearing desert camouflage, looked at Perkins beside him, who was wearing tight leather clothes.
He admitted that this woman wearing such clothes could undoubtedly better showcase her perfect figure.
But!
"Isn't it hot?"
Hunter asked!
Perkins rolled her eyes at him and patted the Wrangler she was Driving.
"Get in!"
Hunter, carrying one large and one small case, quickly got into the car.
He didn't sit in the passenger seat but sat directly in the back row.
"Whew!"
The air conditioning in the car immediately made Hunter, who had been under the sun in this desert city for half the day, feel much more comfortable.
Watching Perkins start the car and drive toward the outskirts of the city...
...he curiously spoke up and asked, "You told me before that you could only tell me the specifics of the mission after I reached this city on the US-Mexico Border."
"Now, I've arrived in McNeil."
"You should tell me some information now. You can't expect me to accompany you on this mission while knowing nothing, can you?"
Perkins didn't speak but reached toward the passenger seat beside her.
Then she picked up a file folder and tossed it toward the back seat.
Hunter, in the back, reached out and caught the folder she threw.
He immediately picked it up and began to read!
And Perkins' voice followed.
"My mission this time is to assassinate a man named Benjamin Diaz."
"His code name is 'Tank', and he is said to be an arms smuggler serving the US Department of Defense."
"This man was previously in Mexico selling arms to those drug lords."
"As a result, he was caught and detained by the Mexican authorities."
"Later, the US Government pressured Mexico, and eventually, the Mexican authorities couldn't withstand the pressure and decided to secretly hand him over to the US today."
"My mission is to kill Benjamin Diaz."
Hunter looked at the folder in his hand; there were only two pieces of paper inside.
There was no photo of Benjamin Diaz on them, and the recorded content was basically consistent with what Perkins said.
He quickly finished reading, his brow already furrowed.
The US side had already sent people into Mexican territory in advance.
Their convoy would escort Benjamin Diaz, crossing the US-Mexico Border by road to enter US territory.
In US territory, about ten kilometers from the border, there would be a helicopter arranged by the US Department of Defense to take Benjamin Diaz away.
Because it wasn't a glorious matter, the US Department of Defense would only discreetly arrange one helicopter.
But the team escorting Benjamin Diaz consisted of elite special forces from the US Military.
Facing them directly was indeed not an easy task.
However!
"Wait, I remember this... isn't this from 'mr. & mrs. smith'—"
"The mission where Jane and her husband first clashed and planted the seeds of suspicion in each other's hearts?"
"How has it turned into Perkins taking on this mission now?"
Filled with doubt, Hunter asked aloud.
"Why did you contact me for help? As far as I know, Jane is in the same assassin organization as you, and her strength isn't bad, right?"
Hearing this, Perkins rolled her eyes at him through the rearview mirror.
You've got to be kidding!
The reason the reward for this mission was so high was that the difficulty was not low.
If Perkins really brought Jane along, there was naturally a high probability they could complete the task.
But likewise, the reward that would end up in her hands would be much smaller.
Compared to Jane, who would take a large chunk of the reward, Perkins was more willing to cooperate with Hunter.
After all, the reward he wanted was just her body; at most, it would be a bit tiring, and she enjoyed it anyway.
Besides, although Perkins and Jane were in the same Assassin Organization, they weren't close.
Despite these thoughts, Perkins still answered Hunter.
"That woman's current situation, I hear, isn't great."
"The Continental Hotel once invited her, but Jane is also one of the company's high-level executives, so the company declined on her behalf."
"Regarding the previous contract to assassinate you, Jane failed several times in a row."
"Later I heard that even the client who commissioned the task was killed."
"I hear many people at the company have designs on Jane now; her life hasn't been easy lately."
When mentioning the client being killed, Perkins glanced at Hunter again.
Clearly, she guessed that the person was likely killed by Hunter.
Hunter listened patiently and didn't offer any opinion.
Over twenty minutes later, the car slowly came to a stop on a small hillside.
Perkins drove the car a bit further away and took down the equipment she had brought.
She then pulled out a pack of desert camouflage netting and covered the car.
After finishing all this, she said to Hunter, who was only carrying two cases: "Hey, since your stamina is so good, help me carry a few more things."
After speaking, she kicked a case on the ground nearby.
Hunter nodded and picked up two cases with one hand.
He then walked over and picked up that case as well.
As soon as he picked it up, he immediately felt that the contents must weigh no less than twenty or thirty kilograms.
He was suddenly curious about what was inside.
However, Perkins didn't pay Hunter any mind.
She was carrying a heavy bag on her back and a case in each hand.
The two walked for about ten minutes before climbing to the top of the small hillside.
Perkins saw an abandoned corrugated iron shack on the slope below.
She happily carried her cases down into the iron shack.
Hunter found the iron shack very familiar and recognized it at a glance as being from 'mr. & mrs. smith'.
It was the abandoned iron shack where Jane hid when she was preparing to ambush 'Benjamin Diaz'.
"The corrective force of the plot?"
Hunter was staring at the iron shack in a daze when he heard Perkins urging him.
He thought for a moment and then placed the case containing the 'McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle' on the hillside...
Immediately after, he carried the heavy case and delivered it to Perkins inside the abandoned iron shack on the slope.
"What's in here?"
"stinger surface-to-air missiles!"
Perkins skillfully opened the case and pulled out a large piece of equipment.
Actually, once the case was open, there was no need for her to explain to Hunter anymore.
He looked at the large item in the case with surprise, but in the end, he said nothing.
Perkins continued excitedly: "This thing is great for dealing with helicopters and those armored vehicles."
"I'm going to plant the bombs now. If the worst-case scenario happens, I can use this to shoot down a helicopter."
Hunter didn't stop her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll go up the slope and lie in ambush."
"If the timing is right, I'll see if I can directly snipe the target."
Perkins didn't stop him. As Hunter's recommender, she had also received some free information from the Continental Hotel.
Consequently, she had heard of Hunter's feat after joining the Continental Hotel.
Sniping a mission target from thirteen or fourteen hundred meters away.
She nodded and went about her work.
Seeing this, Hunter didn't disturb her and soon climbed back up the hillside.
Then he took the 'McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle' out of the case. After assembling it, he adjusted the sun hat on his head.
Just like that, he went into hiding on the hillside under the scorching sun...
