Looking at the map, Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice, "This governor's palace is not far from us, just in the southernmost part of the city. But our outfit is a little too eye-catching. Appearing there in the costume of a peacekeeping force can easily cause trouble. ”

    "Why?" Ivan frowned.

    "Andira is like that, a country that's different from other parts of Africa in that it has strict arms bans. Because Loren himself came to power by armed seizure of power, he was very tightly controlled in this regard. All civilians are not allowed to possess firearms, even knives larger than 50 centimeters in length. A group of peacekeepers with weapons, no matter where they appear, will surely attract attention. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "And the vehicle we are riding in is simply a white live target." ”

    Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Not only that, but if we get close to there, we will definitely be interrogated." Don't forget, our skin tones look like foreigners. Four Asians and two whites are simply the most obvious markers. ”

    " but you have to try it. Zhao Jianfei shrugged.

    They abandoned the white-painted Humvee and threw the blue helmets on their heads. I found another hiding place and hid the vehicle with a tree branch. After making their preparations, the members of XCOM Team began to make their way to the southern part of the city.

    This is the only place where Andira can be called a city, and many of the buildings are still European-style buildings left over from the colonial period. The bungalows and villas can very well reflect the feminine charm of old Europe. However, the buildings that were added in the later period were very rough concrete buildings, which were erected rudely and hard, showing a completely different style. And most of the places are shacks with tin roofs.

    There are very few pedestrians on the road, and most of the few people who are still black women are still in the road. The women here are completely different from the black women in other parts of Africa who have big breasts and fat buttocks. And the man is not at all the kind of strong black man in Lin Rui's impression. Almost all of them are malnourished, thin and short.

    Lin Rui patted Zhao Jianfei lightly and gave him a look. Zhao Jianfei followed his gaze and found that the United Nations WFP convoy they had been following was parked on the other side of the central square. The original European-style fountain in the central square was smashed, and the rubble was mixed with concrete to build a pedestal nearby, on which a full-length bronze statue of Loren was erected.

    UNFP's vehicles are parked there, distributing food to hungry residents. Everyone can receive a bag of food with their own identity. It's not as noisy and intense as other places, and people here are like mechanically lining up, picking up food, and walking away peacefully.

    No one dared to disobey the rules, because the Andira soldiers not far away were all loaded with guns. Whoever dares to mess around unruly, they will unceremoniously raise their guns and shoot.

    And the people who got the food could not leave at will, but turned around and lined up in another long line. He took out most of the food he had just received and handed it to the soldiers. Andila soldiers even set up a special warehouse for food collection to wait right next to it. After the people have received their food, they must hand over most of it before they can leave.

    Lin Rui frowned and said, "What are they doing here?"

    "Loren issued a temporary decree that it was strictly illegal for a civilian family to possess more than 25 kilograms of grain at a time, and in their words, it was an economic offense. If it exceeds 100 kilograms, it will be sentenced to death. So after these people have received food, they have to hand over a large part of it. Zhao Jianfei smiled bitterly.

    Ivan patted Lin Rui's shoulder and said lightly, "Your time in Africa is too short, and you still don't know a lot of things. This is the real Africa under warlordism. Malicious issuance of currency, leading to inflation. The people are living on the verge of starvation, but the warlords are still singing praises for themselves, have you seen that bronze statue? ”

    "It's disgusting to say that they're warlords and they're just a bunch of robbers. Lin Rui looked at the towering bronze statue in the square and sneered.

    " is good to get used to. Zhao Jianfei said lightly, "Our employer Harlot is not much more noble than them. ”

    "Let's go, it's full of Andira's soldiers. And the road to the Doge's Palace is blocked over there, so we're not safe here. Yelena whispered.

    "Yes, it's too difficult to get close to reconnoiter during the day. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "We'd better wait until sunset to act, I hope the night can give us enough cover." ”

    Andira is a small and poor African country with a lack of energy and infrastructure, so at night, it is almost dark. Because of the ban on energy restrictions, the nighttime power supply for ordinary citizens only lasts for one and a half hours. Outside of the city, there are no power lines at all.

    Lin Rui and others hid in the alleys of the city full of garbage and waited until dark. The night gave them the best cover, and the members of the XCOM team sneaked up on the outskirts of the Doge's Palace. They took full advantage of the cover provided by the night, climbing buildings and bypassing layers of checkpoints. All the way to a place fifty meters away from the Doge's Palace.

    There was a dog barking in the distance, Lin Rui stopped vigilantly, turned around and whispered, "There are military dogs, and they are still large fierce dogs." ”

    Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Be careful, military dogs are more powerful than people." ”

    He was telling the truth, a well-trained military dog, the vigilance at night, was far more terrifying than a few soldiers. Because they are swifter, deadlier, and more focused than humans.

    Lin Rui frowned and said, "Or Ivan and I go first, you follow, we will enter from the relatively sparsely defended left side, and try to solve the sentry posts along the way." ”

    Zhao Jianfei patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "There are military dogs on the other side, and the noses of these dogs are too smart, and smelling blood will make them go berserk." A violent bark will alert the guards. So before dealing with military dogs, try not to see blood. ”

    "No problem, Lin and I are both freehand experts. Ivan smiled slightly.

    Lin Rui and Ivan quietly approached the outer wall of the Governor's Palace, surrounded by mobile sentry posts, and they had to climb over the wall and infiltrate the interior within a few minutes without hesitation. Ivan dodged and rushed under the wall, clasped his hands together, opened his palms upwards on his knees, and nodded to Lin Rui.

    Lin Rui ran two steps, stepped on Ivan's knee, and climbed over the wall lightly with the strength of Ivan's upward lift. Then he leaned on the wall, stretched out his hand to Ivan below, and took Ivan up to the wall as well.
