Chapter 138: The Leaker
"That's it. Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Drive the car over." Lin Rui, Ivan, you two are with me, and you are in charge of guarding the front. Peng Lefeng, Qin Fen, pay attention to the side. Yelena remained in the car, ready for cover with long-range fire. Will shore, watch the point of Vitak. Don't let this slippery head slip away. Give me a little smart. After making sure that it is okay, drive the car over again, do you understand?"
"Understood. The members of the XCOM team all nodded.
Virtek shook his head, "You're all crazy. Really, you're risking your lives. And it also put my life on the line. I knew that with you, I would kill me. I knew ......"
"If you're smarter, don't say it anymore. Shokishi patted him on the shoulder. "And you'd better not want to run. Even if you can escape from me, you won't be able to run twenty meters. Seeing that blonde beauty, she is a viper. The sniper rifle in his hand can be a running rabbit in the **** of 500 meters. So don't try it lightly. ”
Vitak closed his eyes in some despair and muttered, "You guys are crazy, a bunch of crazy people. ”
Lin Rui followed Zhao Jianfei and Ivan out of the car, and the three of them walked to the front together. The front looks like a small village, and along the side of the road was supposed to be a gas station. Now it has long been abandoned, and even the signboard is crooked to the side. The fuel pump was also pushed aside, surrounded by sandbags and barbed wire. It became a simple fortification.
Lin Rui and the others held guns and cautiously approached the past. only to find that there was no one there at all.
The barbed wire barricades that used to block the road have been removed, and it looks like there were rebels stationed here, but now the rebels have completely withdrawn. The small supermarket next to the gas station has been looted and left in shambles. Sandbags were also piled up in the windows on the second floor, indicating that heavy machine guns had been deployed there.
After checking it, Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief and gave a "safe" tactical sign language to Zhao Jianfei and others behind him. Zhao Jianfei and Ivan also responded with a sign language and came together. Ivan shook his head and said, "It looks like this outpost has been abandoned. The rebels left nothing, not even the gasoline in the oil depot. ”
Lin Rui lowered his head and inspected the messy items in the room, reached out and touched a discarded old-fashioned military kettle, frowning slightly.
"What, what did you find?" Zhao Jianfei said as he looked at him.
"Nothing, but the apparent withdrawal of this group of rebels will not be long, not even more than two days. Lin Rui said slowly, "This place is close to the highway, and the surrounding area is desert. So the wind and sand are big, and there is a lot of dust. But the dust on this kettle was only a thin layer, which shows that they had not been gone for long. And on the side of the window in the room, there was some leftover food. It doesn't look like it has deteriorated yet. This shows that although the rebels who were originally stationed here left, they would never leave for more than two days. ”
Zhao Jianfei nodded, turned around and said to the other team members with a communicator, "Qin Fen, Peng Lefeng, how is the situation on the two wings?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary. Peng Lefeng replied.
"Well, we've made sure it's safe here. Lin Rui Ivan and I will continue to advance to the village ahead. Follow us carefully, but keep your distance. Watch out for vigilance, done. Zhao Jianfei cut off the communication and turned to give Lin Rui and Ivan a look. Lin Rui comprehended, picked up the gun and continued to move forward.
"Be careful and don't touch anything. General Dunby's Free Liberation Alliance was an African guerrilla group, so it was accustomed to using certain unconventional methods of warfare. For example, deploy mines before evacuation, etc., if there is anything worth noting, don't act rashly, and carefully observe first to see if there is any danger. Ivan said calmly.
"Understood. Lin Rui nodded.
The two walked side by side into the small village and town, and it seemed that the building had already been empty. The original villagers did not know where they had gone, and most of the dilapidated buildings in the entire village had burned down. Even what remains is mostly earthen walls covered with rudimentary asbestos tiles, and there is a smell of burning.
Lin Rui frowned, "What kind of smell is this?"
"The smell of the rebels burning their bodies should be that of some villagers trying to resist. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.
"The usual modus operandi of these people. The corpses were piled up in a house, then poured on gasoline and burned together. Ivan smiled bitterly, "Isn't this smell a little disgusting? I smelled this smell back then, so I still don't eat barbecue." Even if you beat me to death, I won't eat barbecue. ”
Lin Rui's face changed, he couldn't hold back his nausea, shook his head and said, "These people really do everything, even ordinary villagers don't let go." ”
"Yes, it's true that Harlot is a warlord, but at least he represents the government army, and he has to take care of his face in his work. And these little warlords, to put it bluntly, are just a group of robbers, even more unscrupulous than robbers. Zhao Jianfei put away his gun and said, "It's safe here." The fact that the rebels have done so thoroughly means that they will not be coming back anytime soon. Let the rest of us come over, I have something to say. ”
After everyone gathered in the small village, Zhao Jianfei took the map and said to them, "We should be here now." In the rest of the area after here, there are no rebels stationed there. This is enough to quickly get through the guò area and go straight into the deep part of the rebel-held area. But it also means that we are about to face greater dangers. So before I can do that, I have to figure out a question. ”
He grimaced, glanced at all the members of the UFO team, and said slowly, "I want to know who among you is who revealed the team's plans to the rest of the African branch?"
Lin Rui's heart moved slightly, looking at Zhao Jianfei and the others, but did not speak.
Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "Actually, this matter is not a big deal. I don't care who among you revealed the plan, or how much. But we're a team, and I don't want my guys to hide anything from me. So who revealed this plan to the people in the Africa Division, or directly to the headquarters? Otherwise, the Africa Division would not have given us such a message for no reason. Now I'm going to find this person, so whoever you are, just stand up for me. ”
"Boss Zhao, wouldn't it, is it possible that there are such people among us?" Qin Fen said in a sneering manner.
"Shut up! It's not your turn to speak now. Zhao Jianfei shouted in a deep voice. "I couldn't stress enough before the operation that I must pay attention to confidentiality and not mention this operation to anyone. But some of you have disobeyed this commandment. Now I want to know who this leaker is. ”
