It was a long time before the XCOM team's car drove out before the gunfire behind them became more and more subdued. It was clear that the rebels had been thrown away, but it was clear to everyone that this was only temporary. Their whereabouts have been revealed, and it is unknown how far they can go in a land full of rebels.

Vitak said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to be the result. ”

"Sorry, did it work? We almost got all killed, just because of your damn friend. Yelena said with a cold face, "How do you think I should kill you?"

"Forget it, it's not his fault, it's our carelessness. Know that in this area occupied by the rebels, no one can be trusted. Zhao Jianfei glanced at Virtak and said, "However, it's best to remember that there is no next time." ”

Vitak's face changed, and he quickly nodded, "Yes, no, there will be no next time." ”

Shogishi took out the map and looked at it, "We seem to have left the road." Qin Fen, where are you going?"

"Of course, if we drive along the road, we won't have to face the rebels. I don't know where to go now. I think it's going south. Qin Fen turned around and said, "I was in too much of a hurry to run away just now, and I didn't bother to look at it." Can you help me see where we are at the moment?"

Jiang Kishi shook his head, looked at the map with the GPS locator, and nodded, "Deviated from the intended route, but the direction is right." In the current situation, even if we go through the wilderness, it is safer than passing through the town. This time things have gotten bigger, and the rebels are definitely looking for us all over the world now. Oh no, the news has already reached Cantor City. ”

Zhao Jianfei nodded, and said with a stern face, "Now we really have no way to retreat, and there must be layers of fortifications ahead." If you want to get to Cantor safely, it is really not easy. ”

Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "However, we haven't completely revealed our identities. We didn't have any live at the checkpoint, and the rebels who arrived later didn't know who we were. This means that they may have guessed that we were coming from the other side, but they didn't necessarily know that we were there for VX Poison. ”

Shogishi nodded, "That's true, if they know it's about VX Elixir." I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get close to Cantor again, and this mission will be a premature failure. ”

Vitak hurriedly said, "As long as they haven't discovered our true intentions, I can bring you into Cantor City." Listen, I have an idea......"

Ivan said angrily, "What's your idea? That so-called friend Josh of yours hasn't caused us enough trouble?"

"Don't worry, Ivan. Listen to what he has to say. Zhao Jianfei stopped Ivan Dao.

Virtek said, "There will be no problems this time, and I will definitely not have problems again." ”

"What the hell is the idea, let's hear it. But if something goes wrong again, even I won't be able to save you. Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "Ivan's temper is very short-tempered, and sometimes, even I can't order him." ”

Ivan hurriedly said, "This time it will be absolutely safe, I can guarantee it." I know a road that is hidden and no one knows. And you can avoid all rebel occupied towns and checkpoints along the way. ”

Zhao Jianfei frowned and said, "There is another such road?"

"Yes, that is the road that poachers used to take. Precious beast skins and ivory were transported across the country through this route, and then directly to the mouth of the sea in the territory of the country. Ivan whispered.

"Poaching?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, wildlife is becoming less and less valuable these years. Mainly rhino horn and ivory. The customers of the poachers are mainly from the countries of the Far East. Some Asian countries believe that rhino horn can cure diseases such as cancer, and some wealthy people regard it as a symbol of wealth. A kilogram of rhino horn can fetch $80,000 on China's black market. And in Vietnam, the price per kilogram of rhino horn is more than $100,000. In 2006, a single rhino horn was worth only $760. Rumors that rhino horn cured cancer have intensified, and the price of rhino horn has skyrocketed more than 100 times. And ivory, which is simply a windfall in this poor country. Ivan whispered.

"I've heard about it, and it's said that it's not just Santuyak, it's in Africa where a lot of wild animals are hunted every year. Shogishi nodded, "But now it seems that many countries have begun to legislate protection." ”

"Yes, it's the same here, but where there's room for profit, there are people who are willing to take risks. It mainly depends on whether there is a lot of room for profit. Profiteering poaching is still carried out in an organized manner every year, and some warlord leaders even organize their own troops to hunt wild elephants and rhinos. Who can manage it? The law is just about ordinary people. Virtek sighed and said, "The path I'm talking about is the Poachers Trail. ”

"Poacher trail?" Zhao Jianfei looked at Jiang An, who was holding the map. Shogishi shrugged, saying that he had never heard of it.

"The route was originally set up by poachers to circumvent government forces along the way. Very secluded and with direct access to the three major cities in the south. Originally, it was used for underground smuggling of ivory and rhino horn, as the three southern cities were once the most prosperous places for the black market trade. Vitak said slowly, "Cantor City is one of these three cities. ”

"So the poachers trail, allows us to avoid the main roads and all the rebel checkpoints. Guarantee that we will go straight to Canto City?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"Yes. We can take the Guò Poachers Trail and go around to the southeast of the city of Canto. It was a trading area, and there was a lot of people coming and going, and most of them were thugs with local armed backgrounds. So the law and order is very poor, and people shoot in the streets almost every day. He even swaggered away after killing someone. No one dared to care. It is precisely because of this that the rebels have a weak control over the area. We can enter from the trade area of Cantor City without being checked. ”

"Don't even the rebels check there?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"It's a terra nullius, and armed men of all stripes are making their fortune on the black market. Besides, General Dunby is not a fool, so he can't offend other armed warlords for the sake of that place. In order to fight Harlot, he even had to buy those people. Virtak whispered, "So it's a completely lawless place, and there's a mix of dragons and snakes, and everyone has it." ”
