Gao Yang arrived in Al Mukalla, the port city of Yemen, where he met Polovich.
Polovich would not go to Syria personally; he arranged for a subordinate to follow the Satan Mercenary Corps.
A group of twelve people, they flew from Al Mukalla to Gaziantep in Turkey. After disembarking, they received the weapons and equipment Polovich was to transport, as well as clothes and such ordered by Little Donnie for the Aleppo battlefield. Gao Yang and his group hurried to Aleppo without stopping, while Little Donnie flew alone to Sicily, Italy, to deal with Rafael's issue.
For mercenaries, undertaking a long journey has always been a headache-inducing hassle.
