Chapter 153: Cantor City
There is a place on Earth where the first stages of life are still in place, where huge herds of beasts are still running freely. That is the richest animal sanctuary on the planet - the African savannah, where the most unforgettable primitive features are presented, showing the cruelty and beauty of the most real nature.
The yellow grass and the blue sky are more beautiful than the chaotic city. Lin Rui muttered, "Perhaps, this is the real Africa." ”
Looking out of the car window, Jiang Shore sighed slightly, "The beautiful and cruel prairie is staged every day with different wonders, the fight between animals, the repetition of biological chains, and the migration of a large number of animal groups. Here you can really feel that the animals are fighting against death at the same time as the birth of life, and their spirit will definitely shock and move you. ”
"I can't imagine that you still have the feelings of a poet. Lin Rui sneered.
"Everyone who has a terminal illness has a melancholy side. And melancholy is a trait of a poet. "Shogishi said lightly, "Where have we been?"
Qin Fen looked at the locator in the car, "We've been driving along this poacher's trail for two hours, and we haven't seen a single living person except for the barren grassland and wild animals." Virtak, are you really sure this is the way?"
Virtek looked at the GPS locator and nodded, "Yes, be careful when passing ahead." There is water there, and no matter what kind of poacher it is, they will choose to camp where it is. We'd better not mess with them, these people aren't easy to deal with. ”
"What are you afraid of? Are we still afraid of some poachers?" said Peng Lefeng disapprovingly.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that there's no need to get into trouble. We still have a task ahead of us. Zhao Jianfei said lightly.
Virtak was right, there was indeed a long and narrow river nearby. But like the rest of Africa, this seasonal river is not deep. Their trucks can wade through water with ease. Along the way, they did encounter a few cars, and a few grim-looking black men were eyeing them. These people are all heavily armed and are supposed to be poachers operating in the vicinity.
However, seeing that they did not stop, the hostility in the eyes of these people subsided a little. Under Vitak's command, they walked peacefully along the way, and apart from a few armed poachers, they did not encounter General Dunby's men again. Because they carefully avoided most of the road area and crossed large areas of wilderness. When they saw the outline of the city in the distance, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're finally here. That's the trading area of Cantor City. Virtek whispered.
"Canto City is actually so big?" Qin Fen said with some surprise.
Shogishi nodded, "This is one of the largest cities in Santuyak outside of the capital. Because the transportation is developed and the water is abundant. It has always been a place of merchants, and in ancient times, it was a place where spices and ivory were traded. So business flourished. ”
"Wouldn't it be too eye-catching for us to drive in?" Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Even if General Dunby's people don't care there, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have eyeliner there." ”
"Don't worry, no eyeliner dares to appear here, and if there is, he will be floating in the stinky ditch outside the city before dawn the next day. This is the city of Canto. Virtek smiled slightly. "And for the sake of prudence, wherever you go, you must leave someone in the car. Otherwise, the broken truck would have been sold at the market in the afternoon. And it's better not to put away your guns, this is a place where people with guns can gain respect. ”
"What a great place. Lin Rui said sarcastically.
"Stop talking nonsense, I only care about where the Black Pearl is. I remember your intelligence said that she seems to be in some school in Cantor City?" Zhao Jianfei looked at Vitak and said.
"Yes. It was a high school, which had long been closed because of the war. She and most of the Order's members were active there. It seems to have been converted into a makeshift barracks. But that place is in the eastern side of Cantor City, and the trade area we are in now is in the southern side. To get there with a weapon, and to avoid inspection, you need to clear up some connections. Everything in this world needs money, you know. Virtek shrugged.
"So, what do you have to say?" Lin Rui looked at Vitak and said.
"You stay in the trade zone first, and I'll find out. I'll wait until I get back. After all, I gave you news two days ago, and I'm not sure what the situation is going on there now. So I'm going to go over and talk to the informant I've planted nearby. in order to derive the most accurate information. Vitak said slowly, "And you guys drove all night, and you must be very tired now." It's better to eat here and take a break. This area is safe, but it's completely different in the East End.
"You mean to let you act alone and go to the Eastern District alone?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Are you kidding? After something like Josh, do you think we'll be comfortable letting you go it alone? Vitak, we don't trust you at all. Maybe you're just taking the opportunity to inquire about information and take the opportunity to tell General Dunby? Well, take a step back, even if you don't want to betray us on your own initiative. What if you are captured by the rebels? You are a good person, and you will definitely confess to us all. Qin Fen shrugged and said, "No matter how I look at it, I think you can't be trusted." ”
"If you say that, I can't help it. I've taken you to Cantor anyway, so we don't have much to do with each other. Virtek sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that the actuary had the evidence of my betrayal, would you think I would help you? General Dunby is notoriously ruthless. ”
"I'll go with him. Yelena said suddenly.
"You?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"I can spy on him from a distance without approaching him, and if this person moves any way, I will kill him on the spot. Yelena said coldly. Her voice was so cold that Virtek felt a chill down her spine. No matter who it is, it will not be too comfortable to think that someone behind it will shoot cold at any time. What's more, this person is still Yelena, who is known as the "Viper".
"Forget it, your sniper rifle target is too big to hang around in the East End. It is a martial law zone, and there is total military control, which is completely different from the situation here. Virtek said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
"Then I'll go with you, I don't have to carry a gun. Lin Rui used the military dagger to trim his nails, "I don't even need a knife." ”
