Chapter 265: Crossing the River

Lin Rui and the others found a relatively secret place and hid the vehicle with sand and tree branches. What they have to do now is to swim across the river in Santuyak with arms.

Lin Rui sat by the river and rested for a while, running around for days, even he was a little sleepy.

The civil wars tormenting Africa are a series of miniaturized, endless, and unaccounted armed conflicts with numerous victims. Territorial disputes, tribal hatred, religious differences, and resource disputes are entwined, like vines in a tropical jungle, with no battlefields, no conflict zones, and no end.

Just like this river in front of you, it will flood during the rainy season. Fortunately, it's not the rainy season yet.

Shogishi walked up to his side and said, "It's all taken care of." The vehicle may not be hidden for long, but it won't be found for a few days. After all, it's a desolate place, plus war. No one usually passes through this area. All traces on the road have also been cleared. ”

Lin Rui nodded, turned around and said, "Let's rest for a while, we are about to start crossing the river." I'm just hoping that this river crossing will go smoothly. ”

"Don't worry, I've checked it around. The river is quiet, and there are no people from the Free Liberation Union nearby. Shogishi smiled.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" said Ivan.

"Nothing. Lin Rui turned around and said, "How is your wound? Soaking in water will make your wound inflamed." If not, don't go with us, stay here and wait for us, watching the vehicles and supplies. At most, it will take two or three days before we will be back. ”

"There was no big problem, just a scrape from the bullet. It's commonplace, and bullets can't kill me. Ivan shook his head, took half of his cigar from his body and put it in his mouth. He smiled and said, "This is the last time I brought it back from Cuba, and I don't want to waste it like this." ”

"Bullets don't kill you, maybe lung cancer does. Shogishi scoffed.

"Alright, stop bickering. Take advantage of the break to get your gear in order. Lin Rui waved his hand. "This time we tried to pack as light as possible so as not to attract attention. ”

"If you're like you, you'll be watched when you walk in the city, and it's hard not to attract attention. Virtak walked over and said, "A couple of Asians, and a couple of whites, it's like a striking label." ”

"Virtek is right. We were easily spotted when we went into town like this. And Kawaguchi is a fairly important city, and as far as I know, there will be no lax defenses there. "So I think that after crossing the river, I should hide outside the city and wait until night before acting." ”

"I'm not a local, but I'm familiar with the place, and I don't have no friends in Kawaguchi. Maybe I can sneak in and find out the news first. Virtek thought for a moment.

"That's a good idea, you're black, and it's not going to be too conspicuous in Bayou City. And your messy relationships are likely to be useful. But be careful, don't get betrayed by your friends again. Lin Rui nodded.

"Don't worry, I know how to do it. Virtek nodded.

The members of the squad rested for a while, and then set off again. Lin Rui unbuttoned his collar, turned over his trouser pockets, and rolled the sleeves and trouser legs neatly to the appropriate positions on his upper arms and thighs.

Armed swimming, do not make your clothes too tight or too loose. Equipment such as bullet bags, grenades, water cans, and tactical bags must be properly organized and tied tightly, and the gun must be strapped to the back.

After doing this, Lin Rui jumped on the spot and tried the weight of various items on his body. Long-distance swimming must make the weight of the equipment evenly distributed on the body, avoiding concentrating on the lower half of the body, causing the lower limbs to sink during swimming, increasing resistance, laborious and affecting speed. Of course, if it is concentrated in the upper part of the body, it can cause breathing difficulties.

The members of the XCOM team had been trained in this area, and after entering the water, they silently swam towards the opposite shore. The river is typical of Africa and is greatly influenced by the seasons. During the rainfall season, the water level is high, creating a small lake of considerable size.

Now it is the dry season, and the originally wide river seems to be divided into several pieces. The shallow places are shallow, and the deep places are still deep. It took the team more than ten minutes to cross the river.

On several occasions, they were alert to the presence of driftwood-like crocodiles nearby, but it was because of this discovery that they were able to react quickly and several people to cover each other and disperse these creepy animals with their weapons. Once you get close to these murderous water hunters, it's really fatal.

After going ashore, Lin Rui still felt his heart beating wildly. On the contrary, Ivan was much calmer than him, he patted Lin Rui on the shoulder and said, "What, it's the first time you've met a crocodile?"

Lin Rui nodded, "I'm a little scared of this thing. ”

"Actually, it's okay, be careful. I used to know a fisherman who fished in Lake Chamo, and they fished in the lake every day, and sometimes the crocodiles were not far from them, and the fishing rafts were half-submerged in the water along with their bodies. As long as you don't get close to them, there won't be a big problem, especially if you're in the water. Ivan smiled.

"It's easy to say. Qin Fen said with palpitations. "I would rather meet a detachment of militants of the Free Liberation Union than such a thing. It's fucking scary. ”

"Alright, don't stay by the river for long. There's nothing sheltered here, and we're easy to spot. We must hurry to Kawaguchi City. Lin Rui shook his head and said. "Peng Lefeng, look at our location, how far is it from Hekou City?"

Peng Lefeng nodded, took out the GPS locator from the waterproof bag, looked at it, and said, "There are still more than twenty kilometers, in the southeast direction." ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Okay, let's keep walking." We had better be there before noon. That way, we'll be able to rest outside the city for a while and start the night action. ”

"I had the idea to have a small farm on the outskirts of Kawaguchi City. It's only two kilometers from the city of Kawague, where we can trim up. And it's also convenient for me to go in and find out the news. "I just don't know if the small farm is still around after the rebels occupy this place." ”

"We can't care so much, let's rush over first. It may not be safe to stay by the river. Lin Rui nodded.

"Be careful!" Ivan suddenly fell to the ground and waved at them.

Lin Rui and the others also reacted immediately, and they all lay behind the yellowed grass by the river. There was a roar of engines in the distance, and a convoy was approaching
