Chapter 70: 30% Chance
Michelle the Silver Wolf did give them a five-day vacation, and gave each of them an additional sum of money to cover the cost of the holiday. γγ Mercenary life wanders on the edge of life and death, and today does not know tomorrow, so they are under a lot of pressure. After a while, let his subordinates completely relax is also Michelle's usual practice.
The seven men arrived at the port of Mogadishu to start their vacation.
It is an ancient city with a history of more than 1,200 years and was one of the earliest settlements of Africans on the east coast of Africa. At dawn, when the boat gradually sailed from the vast Indian Ocean to the Somali coast, the flashing light on the coastal lighthouse was extinguished, the endless sea slowly woke up from the night, and the rolling sea in the east began a unique sunrise wonder. Mogadishu is Mogadishu with its towering mosque minarets, rows of old Arab citadels, and a city with a predominantly white hue that gradually reveals its clear outline in the morning light.
Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia, an important port and a historic city, which flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. It's a pity that now, there is civil strife, rebellion, and war everywhere. To this day, the city of Mogadishu is still divided between warlord factions and engaged in gunfire. Everyone in the streets was armed with guns, and terror was rife here. Although new buildings and roads have appeared, many places are still devastated by the debris and bullet marks left behind by years of war.
Lin Rui used that money to buy a boat at the dock. He had a fixed salary, and he didn't want to keep any of the money that was supposed to be squandered.
So he didn't make a counteroffer and didn't care how much. The black buddy who sold the boat seemed to have never seen such a high roller, and excitedly pointed to a few semi-automatic rifles on the ship, meaning that this thing was given to Lin Rui. "You need this, in Somalia. "These locals are poor and greedy, but sometimes they are like children.
Lin Rui smiled and nodded, and waited until the black buddy left in a hurry. He leaned on the dock and smoked a cigarette, stopping by to look at the boat he had just bought. It was a converted fishing boat, and only God knows if the black man was used to catch fish. There were not only bullet marks and guns on the ship, but even dark red blood stains remained in some places that were not easy to clean.
The owner of this ship did not think of anything good as he could. Lin Rui even wondered if the black man who sold the boat to him just now was the owner of the ship. Maybe it was just a pirate, and the real owner of the ship had already fed the fish in the sea. But who cares? It's such a mess here.
Lin Rui had already checked before, although the appearance of this ship was dilapidated, the ship's power system was still good, the fuel on the ship was quite sufficient, and the food and fresh water were enough for more than ten days. A qiΔ all met his requirements. Then he took a GPS locator out of his pocket and placed it on the cockpit. The set of numbers flashing red on it happened to be the coordinates of Efuya's pirate base.
Just as he was about to untie the cable tied to the dock and prepare to set sail. A few people jumped on the boat, Zhao Jianfei, and Qin Fen on the shore.
"Oh, look at this boat, it's amazing. Your so-called enjoyment is weakened. This is the real vacation, sail out to sea, enjoy the uninhibited time and the fishy sea breeze. Jiang An shook his head and said, "Hey, Lin Rui, if you want to go to sea, you must take me with you." β
"I'm afraid there is no place for you on this ship. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"What a joke, it's an empty ship, and it's huge. Qin Fen shouted, "I'm about to make a pie on your ship, a feast of the sea and the sky." You actually told me that there was no place on the ship? β
"Nothing bad, I'm going to go fishing, probably a lot. And you ...... Apparently too much space. Lin Rui frowned.
"I heard that someone was going fishing, so I got my fishing gear ready early. Yelena stepped out from behind the dock with her "fishing gear" in her handβa Barrett sniper rifle that was terrifying to look at.
Ivan also walked over from the side and said calmly, "Okay, Lin Rui, we all know what you want to do." β
"It's just an Efuya, there's no need for such a big battle. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I can solve it myself." β
"Efuya is a big fish, and we all thought you might need backup. Yelena looked at him and said.
"I see what you mean. But I promised Michelle not to involve the company, lest he be too embarrassed. It's just my private behavior. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
Ivan smiled and said, "You probably forgot who we are, we're just mercenaries." And when you are not at work, there is no discipline. In other words, what we do has nothing to do with the company. Otherwise, why would Michelle give us a holiday?"
As they spoke, Shogan had already spread out a map on the table, and he glanced at everyone and said, "Old rule, I'll plan the attack." β
"With your small size, you can do this kind of thing on paper. Ivan shrugged.
Jiang An smiled faintly, "If you really want me to go, I won't be ambiguous." By the way, no matter how strong a big guy is, it is often a one-shot thing, and there is nothing to boast about. β
Several people made fun of each other and began to discuss the battle plan in a serious manner.
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "There is no plan, and there is no battle. This time I went alone and came back alone. He put the gun in his hand on the table and said, "I'm just going to kill someone, and then I'll come back." There was no plan for infiltration, there was no fighting. Go in secrecy, come in secrecy. Not even a gun. β
Jiang An frowned and said, "Lin Rui, this is not a joke. β
"I'm not kidding. Lin Rui said calmly, "After this experience, Efuya's base must be well defended. The only way I'm going to kill him is to sneak into that pirate base in the dark. Get rid of him without alarming anyone, and as soon as he is discovered, the whole thing will be ruined. β
"Why?" Qin Fen frowned, "If it's really a battle, then let's fight! β
"But once we fight, it will expose our combat effectiveness. Coupled with the fact that we've just played against Efoa's guys, it's easy to be reminded of who we are. It's going to put pressure on Michelle. Joe was pressing on him, and I didn't want to cause him any more trouble because of us. Lin Rui said lightly, "So it can only be done in this way similar to assassination." No one will find any flaws. It is even less likely to blame us for this. β
"But are you sure?" said Shogan with a frown. "It's going to be harder. β
"I'm sure, that's why I want you to stay here and not go anywhere. I'll solve it alone. Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "The more people there are, the greater the danger of exposure." β
"But you need to at least answer. Zhao Jianfei frowned. "Someone has to take you there when you go, and someone has to pick you up when you come back. When necessary, you also need someone to take care of your actions and cooperate with you. You can't do it alone. β
"I'll admit it, but when you say you can't do it alone, you mean in a head-to-head battle. But the core of individual infiltration warfare lies in covert operations. As long as it is not exposed, the danger can be minimized. To put it bluntly, exposure is failure, and even death. But if it is never exposed, then there is a great hope that the assassination of Efuya will succeed. Lin Rui said.
"I can't let you risk it alone!" Zhao Jianfei shook his head.
"What can you do? Now that I'm on vacation, you're not my commander. What do you say, I don't buy your account at all. Lin Rui shrugged.
"Alright, alright. I said don't get excited either of you, maybe we can each take a step back. Shogishi said calmly, "Listen, I have a good plan." It is possible to resolve this contradiction. β
"Tell me. Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Let's go together, but only Lin Rui will go to the island. Let him act as secretly as possible alone, if he can quietly kill Efuya, it is naturally the best, if not, we can also have a second preparation. Jiang An looked at Lin Rui and said, "I know you want to act secretly, but if it is exposed, you will need backup, there is no doubt about it." So even if there was only one gunshot, we would rush to the island. Because after the gunshot, the situation is no longer under your control. β
Lin Rui thought silently for a moment and nodded. "Welcome to attend. β
Qin Fen carried a whole box of beer onto the boat and laughed, "This is like a vacation." Peng Lefeng tinkered with the ship's dilapidated stereo, which was so primitive that it could only play cassette tapes and play music that had been outdated for many years. Beer and music, he and Peng Lefeng Ivan turned this old fishing boat into an entertainment cruise ship.
Lin Rui sat alone on the bow of the boat, listening to the noisy music in the sea breeze, he seemed to be very relaxed. But he knew that maybe in a few hours, this qiΔ would no longer exist. Alone, he will infiltrate the pirate-infested island and assassinate Efuya in silence. It wasn't easy, but it was the only safe thing he could think of at the moment.
Shokishi walked over to him and handed him a bottle of beer, "There are still hours to go, why don't you have some drinks and rest?"
"Before the operation, I didn't want to drink. Why don't you keep it, I'd rather come back alive and drink the celebration wine. Lin Rui said lightly.
Shogishi nodded and said, "Whatever you want, but I'll keep that bottle of wine for you." β
Lin Rui paused, then suddenly tilted his head and asked, "How much chance do you think I have to succeed this time?"
"The chance of success is 30 percent, or higher, but not 40 percent. "Shogishi said lightly.
"Enough. Lin Rui smiled slightly
