Chapter 137: Checkpoints

After deciding on their route, the members of the XCOM team assembled. In order not to attract attention, they chose the kind of old trucks that are common on the African continent this time. The armament was also a very common AK47 semi-automatic rifle. But in order to deal with emergencies, they all wore heavy body armor under their clothes and were equipped with full-face gas masks.

The vintage truck is modified, powerful, and has solid tires. Virtek looked at their weaponry and nodded, "The firepower is enough, even if you encounter a small patrol of rebels." ”

"Still, you pray that we don't meet well. Lin Rui tilted his head at him and said, "Get in the car, it's best not to mess around with any crooked brains, we will keep an eye on you." ”

Virtek smiled bitterly, "With you, what do I dare to do with my crooked brains? You still have my handle in your hands, that's really a damn thing." ”

"Alright, let's go up. Lin Rui pushed him.

The group boarded the wrecked car and headed south. Along the way, the already desolate places encountered many destroyed and burned buildings, which were all tragic after the Great War. In this continent where soldiers interfere in politics, the most ancient law of the jungle is still believed, and whoever has sharp minions is the master of this land. The disasters caused by the government army and the * armed forces, which have been fought for many years, are even far greater than hunger and poverty.

In areas where fighting is intense, bodies can even be found on the side of the road. These people were probably members of the *Army, and after being killed, they were abandoned on the side of the road like dead dogs. No one wants to collect the corpse, and there is no need for this, the vultures and wild dogs of the African wilderness will clean up a qiē. It's a magical land, where simplicity and brutality coexist, and war has pushed people to extremes. The desolate scenery along the way has a tragic beauty that goes straight to people's hearts.

Lin Rui silently held the weapon in his hand and looked out calmly.

"Hey, Xiaolin, what are you thinking? Qin Fen patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Didn't think about anything. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I don't have time to think about it." ”

"I desperately need something to think about, or at least to make me forget about the bad things in front of me. Qin Fen muttered, "Maybe I should think about my ex-girlfriend, although that experience was just as bad, but at least she is cuter than chemical weapons." ”

Lin Rui couldn't help but laugh, "Compare a woman to a chemical weapon, how poisonous is this woman of yours?"

"Actually, it's not very poisonous, it just dumped me and broke my heart. Sometimes a woman's poison is even more than chemical weapons. Chemical weapons kill people, women are sad, and they can't prevent it. Can't even protect yourself with a gas mask. Qin Fen shrugged.

"Seems to make sense, Pig Head, this is the most philosophical sentence I've ever heard you say. Chemical suits and gas masks are needed to deal with chemical weapons, and condoms are needed to deal with women. Aren't these all protective rubber products? It just makes so sense. It seems that I will have to be more vigilant in the future and will no longer be able to sleep with chemical weapons in my arms. Zhao Jianfei was stunned, and the people in the car laughed rudely.

These mercenaries live a tense and depressed life all year round, and in their leisure time they only drink and fight, or find women to vent, joke with each other, and tell meat jokes, which is real life for them.

The actuary looked at the GPS positioning and said slowly, "Everyone be careful." A few kilometers ahead, we will leave the area controlled by the government forces. ”

"Alright, I'm about to enter the territory controlled by the rebels. No kidding, cheer me up. Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice. "Yelena, watch out for your surroundings. Peng Lefeng, drive carefully, we have to get off the road, because the driving goal on the road is too obvious, but it can't be too far from the road. Remember that once the rebels are found, they must all be wiped out, leaving no one alive. Because once someone gets away, it's about our follow-up. ”

The nerves of the entire XCOM team were tense, and they all knew the significance of this operation. I also know what kind of crazy blow their squad will receive once it is exposed. This batch of VX poison is the last capital that General Dunby relies on, and he will not allow anyone to destroy it. So once their goals are revealed, it's going to be a very troublesome thing.

General Dunby would have killed this squad even if he didn't hesitate to do so. And from here, it has entered the actual control of the rebels of the Free Liberation Union. No one can say what will happen along the way.

Vitak got up and looked around, but was forcibly pressed back by Qin Fen. "Be honest with me. If you move again, I'll blow your knees and leave you sitting for the rest of your life. ”

"I'm just looking at where we've got. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Route 56, and if you look at the road sign just now, if you go about ten kilometers south, you will encounter the first rebel checkpoint." Unless we leave the road now and head to the desert on the left, we might be able to avoid them. I should have made this very clear to you before. ”

"Yes, but things have changed. The latest news I heard in my headphones was that the rebels there had withdrawn. This meant that we could go directly to that area, which saved us a lot of time. "Shogan said slowly.

"Evacuation, this is impossible!" Virtek said with a surprised expression, "This checkpoint is the key to holding this Route 56. Highway 56 is the main road running through the north-south traffic. How could the rebels take the initiative to abandon this place, there must be something wrong with this information of yours. ”

"I don't know if there's a problem with the intelligence. But I am sure that this message is not coming from those idiot government forces in Harlot, but from the African division. Jiang'an looked at Zhao Jianfeidao.

Zhao Jianfei frowned and said, "On the surface, it looks right. There's a catch, though. ”

"What's the problem?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The specific plan of our operation, except for us executors, is not known to many people, and even Danny and Alberta of the African branch do not know our specific route, why did they send such an obviously directional message?" Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"Are you saying that this message from the Africa Branch is fake? Could it be that the communication server was hacked by the Secret Society's people like last time? And then the other party passed this and gave us false instructions?" Lin Rui frowned.

"I can't say for sure. Zhao Jianfei frowned and said, "But if we can really get through this area safely, it can indeed buy us precious time." What do you think?"

The actuary groaned, "I think I can give it a try." ”
