686. Chapter 686: Survivor
"It's a bit of a trap. Jason whispered suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui whispered.
Jason lowered his voice, "This trap is called a Toms-style tripping trap, also known as a fishing line trap. It is named after a U.S. soldier during the Vietnam War, who discovered this jungle trap used by North Vietnamese troops during the Vietnam War. Like the infamous bamboo nail trap, the Thomas tripping trap killed many American soldiers on the battlefield in Vietnam. β
"How do you know so clearly?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The Vietnam War is an eternal pain in the hearts of the U.S. military, so in the Green Berets' forest combat training, these jungle traps have been introduced in detail. "Jason is right, it's a standard Tomsian tripping trap in terms of construction and layout. And I don't know if you've noticed, these nylon threads that act as tripwires. β
"It's a fishing line. Lin Rui frowned.
"That's right, and it's in our wilderness survival gear. Jiang An said in a low voice, "The one who laid this trap should be a U.S. soldier, and it is very likely to be Jason's teammate." Only the U.S. Army Special Forces are proficient in these mountain and jungle warfare routes. β
Lin Rui frowned and said, "So, it wasn't those extremists who studied the virus who laid the trap, but a surviving US soldier?"
"It is very likely that during those attacks, there were no captured commandos and they survived. Shogishi nodded.
Yelena frowned, "Why can't it be those extremists who study viruses?"
"It's too laborious and inefficient to lay a trap like this. It can only be used when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no way to solve the dilemma. If it's the extremists, they don't set up such low-level traps, they install mines, or other devices that can be guarded. In short, much more effective than these things. Lin Rui explained, "Only those US troops who are trapped here, they have no more resources, and they are most likely alone." will use this helpless means. β
Jiang An nodded, "Lin Rui is right, and a, the cut marks on this sharp stake can be about the sawtooth scratches on the upper part." This is due to the fact that the hand holding the knife is somewhat flat when sharpening the stake. The serrations on the other side left traces. If I'm not mistaken, this is definitely an M9 dagger. β
"There is no doubt that this should be a U.S. military. Captain, what's your attitude?" said Lincoln.
"Our mission is clear, to find and capture the professor who is working on the virus. Lin Rui said slowly, "If this American soldier really survived the original three commandos, then he will be very helpful to us." Because he probably knows the specific location and defense of this biochemical laboratory. β
"But our mission is ......," Sergei whispered.
"Priority is given to the completion of the first goal. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "We must find this lucky guy, if he is not dead." β
"Hey. Wang Haoze pulled out a bloodstained bandage in the mound of dirt on the side. "Maybe this guy wasn't very lucky, he didn't suffer a light injury. β
Lin Rui frowned, "But he still calmly treated the wound and buried the bloody bandage so as not to attract attention." This means that he is nearby. β
"With this amount of bleeding, he should have been injured a lot. But why didn't he get out of here and go out and ask for help?" Lincoln frowned.
"If you and Jason are captured, I won't leave. Lin Rui said slowly. "Maybe that's why he's still here. His teammates are still here, so he's trying to rescue them. β
"This Yankee is still a tough guy, and after being so badly injured, he still insists on not leaving his comrades. Sergei shrugged, his tone still maintaining his disdain for the Americans, but there was a hint of respect in his expression. After all, people who can do such things are worthy of respect.
Lin Rui squatted down and whispered, "He buried the bloody bandage here, so he must have left from here." I might be able to track him down. β
"How to track it?" Lu Hanxin couldn't help but say.
"Footprints, small plants that break off because of external forces. If you are patient enough, you will find that you are surrounded by traces left by this person. This will make it easy for us to find this person. Lin Rui stared at the bushes on the ground and pointed to the side of the bush, "He walked through this bush." β
"How? I don't have any suspicious traces at all. Lu Hanxin frowned.
"Hurry up and keep up with the doctor, if you're too late, you may not be able to save lives." Lin Rui shrugged and inspected the bush, then picked a leaf and handed it to Lu Hanxin.
There was a trail of blood on the leaves, and although the blood had dried, it should not have been left for long. You can still smell a hint of blood from this leaf. "Now you should take my word for it. Lin Rui shrugged.
"Well, you win. Maybe you really have a dog nose. Lu Hanxin shrugged helplessly.
Lin Rui led the team through the bushes and stopped by a small stream.
"He's been here before, and there are two footprints on the wet dirt by the stream. However, one deep and one shallow, indicating that he was injured in at least one leg. Lin Rui pointed to the ground and said, "He lost too much blood, so he replenished some water here." But he was wise and didn't drink much. But from the footprints should be very tired, and there is no way to escape. β
"You're right!" A black shadow jumped down from the tree, enveloping Lin Rui, and the two of them rolled to the ground at the same time. A shirtless man turned over and stood up, holding an M9 dagger in his hand, which was across Lin Rui's neck.
"Boss!" Sergei exclaimed, immediately raising the gun in his hand.
"Don't shoot!" Lin Rui immediately waved his hand to stop him, "He's that American GI." β
"American GI, is that what you call us?" the man smiled coldly, "So who are you? an international military-industrial complex that researches virus weapons, or a member of a terrorist organization?"
"Mercenaries only. Lin Rui said lightly.
"That's not surprising. Asians, Russians, and Americans. So you're an international mercenary group?" The shirtless American soldier with a fierce gleam in his eyes said sharply, "Don't move, whoever dares to move, I'll cut his throat." β
Lin Rui chuckled for a while, "Dude, your knife is fast enough, but are you a threat?"
"What do you say?" shouted the American soldier. Lin Rui could feel that the M9 dagger in his hand was near his carotid artery. This man is also a connoisseur. Lin Rui smiled slightly.
