Everyone is looking at the sky, hoping that the rescue helicopter will come back soon. Unlike the others, Lin Rui didn't care too much about the sky, he just stared at the areas where the rebels were in control. He knew that now was the most dangerous time, most of the mercenaries had already withdrawn, and it would be difficult for those rebels and militants to resist if they rushed over again. But for some reason, his fears never came true.

Could it be that the rebels have decided to let them go? Lin Rui knew that these people were cruel and ruthless, they were African warlords, and they would not take human life seriously at all. It is impossible to be merciful to those who dare to offend them. Is it possible to remain silent as you see their numbers dwindling? The afterglow of the setting sun casts from the top of an African hill onto this silent town, the silence of the dangerous enemy on the opposite side is about to be torn apart at any moment, and the lone group of mercenaries seems to be swallowed up by darkness at any moment.

Lin Rui felt even more uneasy when he thought of this, he clenched the gun in his hand again, and habitually checked the scope and magazine. I don't know when he started, whenever he was nervous, he wanted to hold the gun. The solidity and coldness of the gun grip made him feel a little reassured. He understood more and more why Ivan had to put a gun under his pillow when he slept.

Suddenly, a mercenary let out a cheer, and the rescue helicopter arrived. At the edge of the town, the helicopter descended slowly, reaching a certain height, and a roll of soft ladders was thrown down from it. The mercenaries cheered and climbed upward. It wasn't until everyone boarded the plane that Lin Rui's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to turn around and climb the rope ladder. Suddenly, he noticed a man flashing in the distance, his messy black hair dancing in the wind, his eyes dark and sharp.

As soon as Lin Rui saw him, he almost fell off the rope ladder. Lin Rui recognized this person, counting this time, it was the third time he had come into contact with this person. Although he is not wearing a red hood now, Lin Rui is extremely sure in his heart that this is the red hood! And on his shoulder is a shoulder-fired SAM anti-aircraft missile, and the indicator light is flashing red. Because the insurance has been opened, it is obviously in a state of firing at any time.

Lin Rui, who was still hanging on the rope ladder, suddenly raised his head and shouted at the helicopter pilot, "Hurry up!" But the huge roar and air flow emitted by the helicopter directly swallowed his shout. Lin Rui watched the person in the distance calmly complete the target locking and launching, and his heart was full of despair! Why are the mercenaries reduced in number, but these rebels and militants are slow to do so? Because they are not in a hurry at all, they have a bigger plan to shoot down the entire rescue helicopter!

Lin Rui did not hesitate, immediately let go of the rope ladder and fell down from the rope ladder. Falling heavily on the ground! This height was really too large, and his body was unstable. He had no choice but to quickly shrink his body and roll over on the spot by inertia as a cushion. And almost at the same time, a huge explosion sounded above his head. The helicopter was shot down and was falling rapidly! And it landed near Lin Rui, and the huge tail propeller fragments almost flew past Lin Rui's body and smashed heavily into the earth.

Lin Rui ran with his legs pulled, stumbled out for more than ten meters, and rolled over into a nearby ditch. Almost at the same time, the helicopter that crashed to the ground and burned exploded again! There was a loud bang, almost deafening Lin Rui, and the dust raised by the explosion buried his head and face.

It's totally bad. Lin Rui struggled to crawl out of the ditch and glanced at the burning wreckage of the helicopter and the mutilated corpses on the ground. He had a cramp in his stomach and a sudden urge to throw up. He stumbled to his feet, and it was too late to pick up his weapon. Because he knew that the rebels would soon surround him, and if he didn't leave now, he would never have a chance to leave.

He struggled to run a few steps, then quickly dodged into the ruins of a nearby building. His GPS locator had long since been lost, and he didn't recognize the place at all. It was only with the first memories that he turned back from the original road and retreated to the intersection of the south side of the town and the mining area. Because he knew there was no one here, and the rebels must be busy celebrating their victory, or cleaning up the battlefield. This is the only way for him to get out of the town quickly.

Lin Rui bent over, trying to minimize the possibility of being discovered, and ran desperately. They rushed into the woods beside the town road, crouching in the bushes and grass, gasping like wild beasts. The highly tense nerves relaxed, and now he realized how intense his pain was.

He looked down at his wrist and saw that the wrist of his left hand was blue and purple and swollen. It should have been when I jumped down from the rope ladder, and I vaguely had a hand-assisted ground support movement, so I sprained it. He had abrasions on both elbows, and his face was covered with blood from the sand on the ground.

"It's good that it's not on the leg, it's on the left hand. Lin Rui gasped and muttered to himself. This is indeed a great blessing in misfortune, if he hurts his leg, his chance of escape is equivalent to nothing. And if you hurt your right hand. Then his hopes of survival would have to drop by at least fifty percent.

After a little respite, Lin Rui sat up with his back against a tree. The rescue helicopter had been wrecked in its back, and all the mercenaries left behind were killed. He wanted to report the news to Zhao Jianfei, but his tactical helmet had run out of battery. The communicator has no battery and is no longer usable.

Modern warfare, that's it. Communications, infrared night vision, satellite positioning, laser ranging. Nothing is inseparable from the battery. For example, in the U.S. military, a typical 72-hour mission in Afghanistan requires as many as 70 batteries for a soldier to keep his electronic equipment running. The weight of the battery can account for up to 20% of the weight of a military man. An infantry battalion spends more than $150,000 a year on batteries.

He smiled bitterly, in this kind of hellish place, where can he go to recharge? Besides, even if he doesn't report it now, they should know that the rescue helicopter has an accident. It's better to run for your life quickly, maybe after escaping this danger zone, you can contact them again. Lin Rui habitually touched the gun, but found that he had lost it just now, and he didn't have time to pick it up. Now he only has a knife and an M9 pistol for self-defense. Lin Rui took out the pistol, and now he relies on this gun to save his life. He found that his current situation was really very embarrassing.

He was caught on the road between the rebel town and the mining area. If you want to get out, you have to go through the whole town single-handedly. Lin Rui thinks that he doesn't have this ability, he may have good skills and strict training, but he is not an immortal. Let him use an M9 pistol to fight hundreds of rebel automatic weapons, this is not a breakthrough at all, it is simply looking for death.

Then there are two remaining options, one of which is to go out through the valley woods the same way. But then he would have to face the vast African wilderness alone. There is no GPS, no sense of direction, wandering alone in the African wilderness, and it is also an area controlled by armed warlords in the midst of war. It didn't seem like a wise thing to do, and when he came, he noticed that it was extremely desolate. Without water and food, he couldn't hold out long in the wilderness.

The last option, which is the most helpless, but the safest option at the moment, is to follow this road to the mining area. Although it is also an area where the rebels and militants actually control zhì, their numbers should not be very large. On the contrary, most of them are miners and civilians. On top of that, where there are mines, there are people, there is food and water, and even electricity. There he was able to get supplies and even recharge his batteries.

Once the battery on the tactical helmet is fully charged, he can leave the mine and contact Danny or Zhao Jianfei to try to pick him up. This is the safest and safest way to go. There are many uncertainties, but it's safer and more practical than breaking into a rebel town or crossing the African wilderness alone.

Lin Rui touched the military water bladder, and there was no water in it. The evacuation failed, and he was trapped in an area full of armed rebels, wounded and short of supplies. Is there anything worse than this?" Lin Rui shook his head with a wry smile, got up from the ground and continued to walk along the road. He didn't dare to walk on the road openly, for fear of being discovered. Instead, in the woods near the side of the road, I walked along the road to the mine area ahead.

By this time, the news of the destruction of the evacuated helicopter had reached the African Division, and since the main communication server had been repaired, some video messages had been returned. The camera installed on the helicopter completely recorded the entire process of being shot down and crashed. From the arrival of the predetermined area to the destruction of the rescue helicopter, the sight of more than a dozen mercenaries being killed made the mercenaries of the African branch die silent.

Danny slowly turned around and said, "That's the last news we got. The rescue helicopter was shot down by a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile. All eighteen people, including two crew members, were killed. ”

"So, Lin Rui is also dead?" Zhao Jianfei said with a melancholy expression.

"I'm afraid so. Danny clapped his hand on Zhao Jianfei's shoulder and whispered, "I'm sad, he saved us all." But we still have to accept the facts. The life of a mercenary is like this, maybe someone dies every day, maybe one day it will be you and me. ”

"But I didn't find him on the video from the helicopter. Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"Maybe he's at the wrong angle, and you just don't notice it. Danny shook his head. "The onboard interior camera also has dead ends. ”

Zhao Jianfei said calmly, "But the camera was pointed at the cabin door, I paid attention to it, and I never found him boarding." So I don't think it's yet possible to conclude that he was killed. ”
