Chapter 380: Jungle Cowboy
Lin Rui and the others have already gotten rid of the pursuit behind, or those guards have given up the pursuit of them. After passing through the open area, you enter the woodland of the mountains.
"How's it going?" asked Jiang Andao. They were all injured in the continuous crash just now. But along the way, I didn't bother with bandaging. The arch of the eyebrow of the shore was cracked, and the blood flowed all over his face, and the corners of his eyes were swollen terribly.
"You look like a battered boxer. Zhao Jianfei smiled bitterly.
Shogishi shook his head while wrapping gauze around his forehead and the arch of his eyebrows, "We have to go quickly, they won't give up like this." β
But they didn't chase after them. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Maybe they're busy dealing with other contestants, so they don't have time to take care of us." β
"No, you don't know who is directing this qiΔ behind the scenes. "But I know." β
"The person in command behind the scenes?" Lin Rui frowned, "Who is that?"
"Remember the man in the suit we met after dinner? He's changed a bit a bit over the years, I didn't recognize him at the time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I remembered who this man was. Shogishi shook his head.
"Who is he?" Lin Rui frowned.
"He's a member of the management committee, right?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Yes, but he still has an identity, and his name is White. He was once one of the youngest instructors in the Strategy and Tactics Research Laboratory. I studied with him for a while, and he was a tactical theorist who was unique in the command of large-scale campaigns and counter-terrorism emergency operations. Having been employed by NATO for a long time, I did not expect that he was also a member of the management committee. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"I don't think he's anything great. Haven't we all broken through so many levels?" Zhao Jianfei shook his head.
"He's a real tactical genius. The fact that we were able to break through so many levels this time was definitely not due to his arrangement, but to the people below him. If it was really due to his arrangement, it would definitely be a drop of water. "Shogishi is colorful. "I guess at the last minute of the first phase, he's probably going to have to put a little bit of a real hurdle in our way. β
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Then let's be careful, anyway, we only need to cross this mountain road to reach the scheduled camp." Be careful, don't fall to the last minute. β
The three of them have been together for a long time, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly. The three men lined up in a zigzag and very carefully advanced in a search formation. They were armed with the patrol's standard weapons, 9mm submachine guns and 9mm rubber bullets. This rubber bullet, which was used to quell riots, though not as lethal as a metal bullet. But it is not absolutely safe, and there are people who die on this bullet.
Lin Rui walked up the mountain road, carefully inspecting the surroundings, Zhao Jianfei and Jiang'an followed behind him. After walking a few steps, Lin Rui suddenly waved his hand to stop them from moving forward, and instead lowered his body to check the traces on the ground.
There was a broken dead branch on the ground, after Lin Rui picked it up. Breaking it again with force, he looked at the old and new Cheng DΓΉ who looked at the broken dead branches. "It's been a while since this dead branch landed on the tree, but it broke off again not long ago. This means that someone has walked this road before us, and maybe this person is still moving around. β
Jiang Yan also nodded, turned to them and whispered, "You guys come here to see, I have found something here." β
Jiang An found a set of footprints, and he frowned, "Strange, you see that these footprints don't seem to be military boots, but like leather shoes?"
"Or those pointy shoes?" Zhao Jianfei said in amazement.
"Who would wear leather shoes up the mountain?" Lin Rui said strangely, "Could it be someone from the management committee?"
"Unlikely, they are rarely directly involved in this kind of thing. Shogishi shook his head, looked carefully at the boots on the ground, and frowned, "No! These are not ordinary leather shoes, the soles are smooth, these are a pair of cowboy boots." β
"Cowboy boots?" Lin Rui was stunned.
"Yes, the bottom of these shoes is smooth and the heel is high. The smooth leather sole is designed to allow the wearer to insert the foot into the stirrup of the Western-style saddle lightly, or to slip out of it when dismounting. The high heel prevents the foot from slipping off the stirrups. The most important thing is that you look at this footprint, the trail behind the heel. Spurs are also installed on these cowboy boots. Shogishi's face was even more strange.
"What time is this, what would someone wear a pair of cowboy boots with spurs. Is he making a western?" Lin Rui thought it was incredible.
Zhao Jianfei couldn't laugh at all when he heard this, he suddenly shouted, "Lie down! Hide!" After speaking, he immediately jumped forward and lay on the ground.
Jiang An and Lin Rui also lay down at the same time, their reactions were not unpleasant, but almost at the same time, a gunshot was heard in the distance. Lin Rui only felt a gust of wind in his ears, and then his earlobes were slightly hot. The shot actually hit his right earlobe, but it wasn't strict, it just scratched a little skin.
However, he clearly felt that the other party must have used live ammunition. Frightened, he shrank his head and lay down under a tree and did not move. Since the standard bullet is used, the shot just now only needs to be a little off, and you can get a headshot. Lin Rui was shocked into a cold sweat, this was simply picking up a life.
"Who is this? It wasn't the guards, he was using live ammunition. Lin Rui lowered his voice and said, "It looks like it's still a sniper rifle." β
Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice, "I know who this person is, he is a snake eye." Don't act rashly, he's a very good sniper. β
"But what now? Our position is too poor for him to hold us down and hold our heads up. Lin Rui said anxiously, "We still have to rush to the designated place within the specified time." You can't be stuck here by a sniper, can you?"
Jiang An whispered, "Don't make a sound, you try to drag him from the front, and I'll touch him from the side." β
Zhao Jianfei shook his head and said, "No, he is a very experienced master." He will guess your intentions. β
"As long as your side keeps it suppressed. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"No kidding, two 9mm submachine guns, or rubber bullets. The other side is a sniper rifle, and our range is simply not enough to reach him. What kind of fire suppression are you talking about?" Lin Rui couldn't laugh or cry.
"Is there any more flash grenades?" said Zhao Jianfei anxiously.
"No more. Damn, most of these patrol guys are armed with non-lethal weapons. In addition to this submachine gun, there was only a nine-millimeter pistol. And it's also rubber bullets. Lin Rui lay on his back in a hidden place and whispered, "If this continues, we have no chance of winning." β
