Chapter 252: Captive
Two Humvees painted in desert camouflage sped on Highway 7, and Lin Rui and the others arrived at Highway 7 as planned. The afternoon sun had almost melted the old asphalt road. Like the rest of Santujak, Highway 7 has long since fallen into disrepair.
There are a few roadsides that have been broken strictly, and no one cares. Now that the whole country is in civil strife, and the Harlot government army and the Free Liberation Union have not even had time to fight, there is still time to think about the maintenance of these infrastructures
The military and civilian versions of the Humvee are completely two different concepts. Although similar in appearance, a real military Humvee is exactly like a diesel-powered tractor. It looks majestic, but it's actually sinful to sit in it. Coupled with the bumps along the way, it was very uncomfortable.
"Virtek, how long are we left to get to that damn little gold mine. Ivan said with some annoyance.
"It's almost there. Virtek looked at the GPS locator.
"Please, Virtek. You were saying half an hour ago that you were almost there. Qin Fen smiled and said, "How long will it take to fall to the ground?"
Virtek nodded, "Stop in front of you and don't rush over." I remember there was a government checkpoint. Now this area has been controlled by the Free Liberation League. However, it is likely that the rebels of the Free Liberation Union will continue to use these old facilities. It's best to be careful and find out the situation first. ”
"Can't wait, I really want to move my muscles. Ivan sneered.
"Don't worry, British. Lin Rui patted Qin Fen and said, "Pull over first, and let the actuaries behind them also stop." The British and I went over to find out what was going on. ”
"Well, be careful. Qin Fen nodded and parked the car on the side of the road. The general who followed behind frowned a little and said, "What's wrong?"
"There seems to be a checkpoint ahead, so be cautious. We decided to go over and have a look. If there weren't many people, the two of us would have solved it. But if there are too many of them, we may need your support. Lin Rui sorted out the weapon in his hand.
"I'll go with you, maybe I can give you some long-range firepower. Yelena also took her weapon from the car, an old SVD sniper rifle, which had been equipped with Soviet troops since 1967 and was a veritable old gun. However, Harlot couldn't find any decent sniper weapons, so he had to barely find this gun to make do.
But although the model is old, the gun is still new. In addition, Yelena is Russian, and her proficiency in Soviet-standard weapons is far above that of others, and she can use them very easily with a little adjustment.
Lin Rui thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, don't get too close, and don't shoot lightly." There is no need for us to attract the attention of nearby rebels. ”
"Understood. Yelena nodded.
Lin Rui made a gesture to Ivan, and the two of them walked forward in a two-person assault formation.
The terrain ahead is a bit treacherous, as the road passes through a narrow area with half-high slopes on both sides. As a result, the road suddenly entered a relatively small area in the vast African plains. No wonder checkpoints are set up in this area. Because space is limited, it is difficult for vehicles to go around the sides and avoid checkpoints.
The checkpoint is just off the road and is lined with gray concrete buildings. Lin Rui approached there, lowered his head and hid himself next to a rock on the side of the road. "There seems to be someone. He made a flanking gesture to Ivan.
Ivan can be regarded as an old fritter among the mercenaries, and as soon as he saw Lin Rui's gesture, he understood his intentions. Immediately nodded silently, responded with a gesture, and then turned around and detoured to the side.
After Lin Rui got close to the building, he listened carefully to the voices inside, it seemed that these people were all in the room on the right side. He gently retracted Qiang and pulled out a grenade from his waist. After thinking about it, he put away the grenade again and replaced it with tear gas.
This is an incendiary tear gas canister that contains magnesium, aluminum, sodium nitrate, barium nitrate and other substances. After detonation, magnesium burns rapidly in the air, releasing dazzling white light containing ultraviolet rays, and at the same time releasing heat to decompose nitrate, and the oxygen produced further promotes the combustion of magnesium and aluminum;
Moreover, the tear gas in his hand is also filled with the poisonous agent Sies, which causes a lot of tears, violent coughing, and sneezing, which is unbearable, and can lead to death, and is the most effective against enemies in confined spaces.
Lin Rui pulled out the fuse and threw the tear gas into the window with all his might.
There was a strong flash of light, followed by thick smoke. The militants inside were attacked suddenly, barely able to open their eyes under the violent flash. Surrounded by a large amount of smoke, they all escaped from it coughing violently. Coupled with the stinging tears in their eyes, these armed personnel of the Free Liberation Alliance stumbled one by one, and completely touched the outside by feeling.
Lin Rui didn't shoot at all, he walked over with three punches and two kicks, and they all fell down one by one. The other party's eyes couldn't be opened at all, and he was like beating a group of blind people who couldn't fight back. There were four or five people in total, and Lin Rui didn't bother at all.
Looking at the militants who were knocked to the ground, Lin Rui took out the radio and whispered to Ivan, "I've got it, what should you do there?"
Ivan's voice hesitated, "I'm not in danger here, but you'd better come and take a look." Let the rest of the team come over as well, there are a few civilians tied up here. ”
"Civilian," Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, about three or four. are all tied up by these rebels. Ivan said in a deep voice, "They seem to be in a bad condition, like they are dehydrated. ”
"I'll be right here. Lin Rui nodded. The rest of the team came over, and several of them walked together to the side room where Ivan had found. A pungent smell in the room made Lin Rui frown.
It was a strong smell of blood, and the wound was beginning to rot. Several of the people in this room seemed to be no less offended. Lin Rui waved his hand at Virtek and said, "Untie them and ask them who they are."
"Xiaolin, I think it's better to forget it, their identity is unknown" Qin Fen frowned.
"Do you think they look like they can pose a threat to us" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "They look like locals, we'd better ask them about the gold mine." ”
Virtak crouched down and untied the ropes, and whispered a few words to them in the local language. The blacks huddled in a corner, as if in utter fear, before Virtak spoke after several minutes of diligent exchange with them
