837.Chapter 837
Because Chad is far from the ocean and has a desert climate for most of the country, it is also known as the "Heart of Death in Africa"
ใ
This is not the case near Lake Chad, which is the second largest wetland in Africa.
The vegetation is relatively lush, unlike other desert-like desolate areas.
Lin Rui and Sergei Snake Eyes were already in a panic.
It was impossible to catch up with their companions in front, and it was even more a dead end to leave them to resist, so they made the most helpless choice and ran into the woods.
It was only when they got closer that they realized, what kind of jungle was this?
Just big patches of reeds.
The vicinity of Lake Chad is a swamp, almost like a swamp, and the shores are full of such reeds.
Lin Rui scolded his mother in his heart: This thing is really back, he was attacked by the French Foreign Legion for no reason, and then he was driven into this reed field.
Because he knew that this well-sheltered reed beachhead was actually very deadly.
Because the large area of reeds is shallow swamp, it is very difficult to walk.
I can't escape if I want to.
And crocodiles hiding in shallow marshes can be far deadlier than bullets.
The bite force of an adult Nile crocodile, combined with its immense strength in the water, is a nightmare for all.
You get a shot, as long as it's not fatal and doesn't hurt the nerves, it's not a big problem, take out the warhead, stitch up the wound.
After a while, you will still be a good man.
But it's a bit more troublesome to encounter crocodiles, which can cause extensive lacerations on your body.
In Africa, the number of people killed by crocodiles may not be as high as they occur each year, but the proportion of people who are disabled is staggering.
"What about the boss?"
Sergei's face turned a little pale, "Those damn guys are coming after you." โ
"Down to the river!"
Lin Rui gritted his teeth.
"Crazy, aren't you? Go down and feed the crocodiles?"
Sergei shook his head.
Lin Rui had already gone into the water and walked into the reeds first, "Otherwise, it would be the same if you stayed up there and waited for death." โ
Snake-Eyes looked back, "Maybe he can cover us." โ
"Why should I cover you Yankee? Hey, you wait for me!"
Sergei's face changed abruptly, and he quickly rushed into the reeds on the edge of the riverbank.
It was only a few minutes later that several armed assault vehicles rushed in one after another, and they fired at the reeds on the beachhead.
Hit the reed leaves and debris scattered.
Lin Rui forcibly lowered his head and squatted, submerging half of his face in the dirty water to avoid blind strafing.
Bullets whizzed against the scalp, and some went underwater.
The sharply rotating warhead entered the water, forming a series of ballistic trajectories under the water, which startled Sergei, who was diving underwater, into a cold sweat.
He popped up and cursed in a low voice, "Damn, are these people finished?"
"Don't make a sound, they don't believe we're going to go into the water, so it's just a test and it's going to be over soon. โ
Lin Rui grabbed Sergei's arm and said in a deep voice.
"They are also afraid of crocodiles, so they don't have the courage to come in. โ
"Your arm. โ
Sergei was startled by the red blood oozing from his arm.
"It's fine. Shot underwater. After the bullet enters the water, the kinetic energy is greatly weakened, so even if it is shot, it is only a skin wound. โ
Lin Rui lowered his voice.
The blood on his arm was staining the dirty water around him red, little by little.
"Where's Snake Eyes? Damn it, where is he?"
Sergei lowered his voice and said, "I remember he still had a first aid kit there. โ
Lin Rui shook his head, pulled out the short knife on his waist and handed it to Sergei, "No need, the bullet is not deep, but you have to help me." โ
Sergei took the short knife and nodded, and cut the clothes on Lin Rui's shoulder with a knife in the reeds, revealing the wound on his big arm.
The wound was turned outward, bleeding incessantly, and the red muscles of the wound had been blistered a little white.
"Damn, you need to disinfect, you need antibiotics. Otherwise you will die of infection. โ
Sergei shook his head.
"Shhhh โ
Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Don't worry, they're still around." โ
"Well, I don't want to wallow in this muddy water for a moment. โ
Sergei lowered his voice and said, "Raise your hand and try not to touch this dirty water." โ
"How long do you think I can lift this arm like this?"
Lin Rui held the injured arm with his other hand.
"Have you gone out, by the way, look for Snake Eyes! This guy should be nearby. โ
Sergei nodded, and alone he reached the perimeter of the river beach, opened a few reed leaves, and observed the situation through the gaps in the reeds.
There was no one outside, and the wheel prints on the ground showed that the men had turned back.
They didn't leave anything but bullet casings in one place.
"It's safe. They're gone. โ
As soon as Sergei turned around, he suddenly pulled out the dagger, almost reflexively.
"Hey, it's me!"
The man took a few steps back, and the wolf bรจi was embarrassed.
"Damn, where did you Texas cowboy die?"
Sergey said angrily.
"Also, stop walking behind me like this, I almost stabbed you to death just now. โ
Snake eyes are really unbearable, and his stylish cowboy style has caused him a lot of trouble.
The cowboy boots were filled with water and felt like walking in shackles, and the custom version of the snake-eye sniper rifle was soaked in water.
This makes Snake Eyes, who is very picky about weapons, feel inexplicable heartache.
In order to escape for his life just now, he also fought hard.
"Where's the boss?"
Snakeeye gasped.
"You got shot?"
Sergei frowned.
"Underwater, but it didn't penetrate the body armor, and it almost knocked me out. โ
Snake-Eyes gasped.
Lin Rui also walked out with his injured arm at this time, and his face was a little pale.
Although the injury was not too serious, after all, it was a lot of blood loss, and his face was always not very good/br> he walked a few steps, walked to the top of the river beach, and squatted down with difficulty.
"Boss Lin, we need to get out of here quickly. If they come back, we'll not even have the strength to run away now. โ
Snake eyes helped Lin Rui up.
"Snakeeyes, I remember you were a small arms expert?"
Lin Rui suddenly turned around and said.
"Yes, what's wrong? I'm an honorary member of the Rifle Research and Development Association. โ
Snakeeye nodded.
"What kind of bullet is that?"
Lin Rui picked up a few bullet casings from the ground and handed them to him.
Snakeeye took over and said, "Nothing special, it's 5." The 56mm SS109 bullet is also known as the 5. The 56mm NATO standard rifle cartridge is an improved version of the American M193 rifle cartridge. Established in October 1980 as NATO's standard small-caliber rifle cartridge, it is now one of the most widely used in the world. What's wrong?"
Lin Rui said slowly, "NATO countries have changed small-caliber bullets to SS109 bullets, but the FAMAS rifles of the French ** team still use M193 bullets produced by Remington. Although the men used French weapons, their clothing was also French combat uniforms. However, the bullets used were clearly not in line with the standard equipment of the French Foreign Legion. โ
