Chapter 369: A Treacherous Beginning
After the meal, they were summoned to a hall, where a middle-aged man in a suit came out and said to them, "Welcome contestants. At the outset, on behalf of the Military Careers Council, I would like to welcome you. You represent the major private military companies in the competition, which in itself represents the extraordinary strength you have. Since its inception in the 90s of the last century, the only purpose of the Waynes Competition has been to push the individual's ability to the extreme in the midst of war. ”
The middle-aged man paused and looked at all the humanitarians, "Wars are waged by people and driven by people to complete them." No matter how advanced our science and technology are, and how new our weapons and equipment are, people have always been the main body of war. The pursuit of the ultimate in individual combat ability, this is the true meaning of the Waynes competition. In this race, you will encounter unimaginable difficulties, and even the best fighters may not make it to the end. But keep in mind the noblest qualities of a military professional: courage, tenacity, wisdom, and responsibility. ”
The forty-five members of the contest, most of them from major private military companies, were silent below. has rich combat experience, and many of them are even old fritters on the battlefield for the rest of their lives. It seems that they are a little unimpressed by the scene of this man in a suit.
In their opinion, this man in a suit is just a soft guy who relies on his lips to get to the top of the ranks. If he really went to war, he would definitely be a coward, and what right did he have to discuss what courage and tenacity were here with these real men who were rolling in blood?
The man in the suit smiled at them, "Okay, we have prepared a single lounge for all of you, with hot water for bathing and warm beds." You can take a break there according to your numbers and then prepare for tomorrow's official competition. I hope you all do a great job. The man in the suit nodded with a smile and walked away in style.
"It's, we don't know what we're going to compete with tomorrow. This Waynes race is really perverted. Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Forget it, let's go back and rest early, no matter what the situation, it always doesn't hurt to stay in shape. Lin Rui nodded and said, "It doesn't matter what content they want to compare, they have to have a good body and a good spirit." ”
Jiang An and Zhao Jianfei both nodded, and after separating from them, Lin Rui went back to rest. He found the room marked No. 42 and looked at the seal he had stamped on the back of his hand during the medical examination, which was also No. 42. He smiled wryly and sighed, this practice of stamping the back of his hand was a bit funny, like a slaughterhouse inspecting pigs, and these people were the pigs that had been inspected.
Pushing open the door to this room, inside was a single room. The so-called hot bathroom of the man in the suit was just a simple shower head, and the so-called warm bed was just a marching bed and a military blanket, all of which were extremely simple.
Lin Rui was lying on the bed, and he suddenly felt a little sleepy. If it is an ordinary person, it should be natural to sleep at this time. But Lin Rui is different, he is a person with a strict schedule. When he was not on a mission, he rested at half past ten every night. And now it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and the sudden surge of sleepiness made him feel alarmed.
No! Lin Rui suddenly jumped off the bed. But the feeling of drowsiness does not seem to have lessened, and is even getting worse. Lin Rui immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately thought of the sumptuous dinner just now. His heart throbbed at the heart of the drug, these people had drugged the food.
All the mercenaries knew that the next game would be difficult, and they might not even be able to get food for a few days, so almost everyone was eating as much as they could. And if the contest organizers drugged these foods, it would be impossible to prevent it.
Lin Rui felt a burst of horror, and he understood that this cruel Waynes race had actually started when they had dinner. Maintain a vigilant mindset at all times, this is the first rule of mercenary survival. And just now, many people committed this taboo, including Lin Rui and Zhao Jianfei and others.
"Damn!" Lin Rui scolded fiercely, and he struggled to get up, but the feeling of dizziness became more and more obvious. He walked briskly over to the showerhead, intending to rinse his dizzy head with cold water. But at this moment, a white mist suddenly erupted from the shower head, and it couldn't be turned off. This pungent smell immediately made Lin Rui understand - tear gas!
Lin Rui's heart jumped suddenly. Immediately covered his mouth and nose and rushed to the door, and suddenly he stopped at the door. This qiē is purposeful, and if you drug the food, it is to make them sleepy and unresponsive. So what was the purpose of the sudden gas-spewing shower head?
Lin Rui's heart lit up. He covered his mouth and nose and wrapped the shower head in a military blanket, which did not stop the tear gas from spreading through the room, but at least slowed it down. He took another quick look at the room, and there must be a surveillance camera somewhere. Otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly turned on the tear gas just as he rushed to the showerhead.
Lin Rui didn't hesitate to smash the lights in the room, and the whole room was dark. He hid in the door and forcibly endured the tear gas, and the silver wolf gave them special training in this regard. Lin Rui's best record was to stay in this environment for five minutes, and this time he had to take a gamble.
He knew that the purpose of tear gas forcing him out was because there were people outside waiting for him to take the bait, and there must be ambushes outside the door. He was betting on how much patience the other party would have waited after losing his surveillance if they didn't rush in within five minutes. So no matter how dangerous it was outside, Lin Rui didn't want to rush out.
And if these people can't help but rush in, then it's his chance.
Lin Rui took off the camouflage short sleeves on his body, covered his mouth and nose to reduce the impact of tear gas, and squatted quietly at the door. Sure enough, two minutes later, the other party lost patience, and an armed man wearing a black combat uniform and a gas mask rushed in. He acted professionally, broke the door with one kick, and then immediately raised the submachine gun in his hand without the slightest pause.
Lin Rui was waiting for this, and he took advantage of the action of kicking the door and raising the gun to slash at the other party's knee with a palm. The other party was caught off guard, his legs were weak, and his body couldn't help but stumble backwards. Lin Rui immediately followed, and slashed at this person's neck with one palm. After the blow was successful, Lin Rui took the opportunity to remove his gas mask and buckle it on his face.
At this moment, the others outside had already realized that the situation was wrong, and raised the submachine gun in their hands to strafe a round, and the nine-millimeter rubber bullet hit Lin Rui so that he could only retreat, and was forced to give up the idea of picking up the weapon on the ground
