Chapter 306: Tracking

Lin Rui and the others rested at the Mombasa base for a while, and set off early the next morning. The chapter update is the fastest, and they ride in two heavy off-road vehicles equipped with advanced facilities. This Predator heavy armoured military off-road vehicle was designed and manufactured by Paramount Group in South Africa.

The engine with up to 1100Nm of torque gives the Marauder brute force to easily face a qiē obstacle and kill the god. The thick armor can withstand the attack of individual RPG rockets, the chassis is more resistant to the destruction of 7-pound TNT equivalent bombs, and the bulletproof tires are even 12. A 7mm rifle bullet can still travel safely for at least 50 kilometers.

The most important thing is that the bulletproof level of this vehicle meets the third standard recognized by NATO, which means that the two vehicles can withstand not only submachine gun grenades, but also anti-tank mines.

Lin Rui looked at it and shook his head. No way, that's the gap. No matter how hard they try, a mercenary military security company like them can't surpass large military companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. They are the only ones who have this kind of tyrant-level equipment.

Louis in the car was wearing body armor and a helmet on his head, and he was really nervous to see him. It's no wonder that this drone expert has never been on the battlefield in person, and even the fingers on his hat buckle are a little shaky.

Lin Rui said helplessly, "Relax, Mr. Team Leader." ”

"If relaxation leads to death, I'd rather focus a little more. Louie shook his head and said, "Besides, you'd better give me back my pistol." Maybe having a weapon in my hand will make me less nervous.

"You're not nervous with a gun, we're so nervous. Especially for a person who casually stuffs a pistol in his pocket and doesn't have insurance, we can't relax at all. Lin Rui sighed and said, "So for the sake of you and all of us, we won't discuss this issue, okay?"

"Hey, I'm licensed. Besides, I got my license, and the law gave me the right to legally own a gun, and you can't take it away from ......," Louis argued.

"Don't tell me anything, we don't care. Not to mention your right to own a gun, there are not even basic Geneva Conventions here. You are the employer at the base, and we are right to listen to you. But out of the base, that's our business. I don't want anyone to affect our work, okay?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Well, since you say so. Louis muttered.

Jiang Kishi smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about Louie, he's also for your good." ”

"It's for my good to surrender the gun?" Louie said dissatisfied.

"In all wars since the 80s of the 20th century, the US military has had incidents of accidental injury, and the average accidental injury rate is as high as 18%. In the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq War alone, the U.S. military's accidental war injury rates exceeded 17 percent and 20 percent, respectively. So much so that the United States lamented that accidental injuries on the battlefield have become the second threat affecting combat effectiveness. These are well documented. As a researcher, you should know: ”

Louie nodded helplessly, giving up on the idea of getting his pistol back. "Where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the accident site first, and maybe there are any missing clues that can help us find this gang of thieves who snatched the prototype. Lin Rui explained.

"If you haven't found anything? After all, we've already surveyed it many times. Louie frowned.

"Then drive in the direction of the canyon and check along the way. It was supposed that the bandits avoided aerial detection and fled into Andira's passage. According to the video data before the drone accident, many of them had people and cars, and even if they had been carefully arranged in advance, they would have left some clues. Lin Rui said.

"Well, do as you say. Louis nodded.

Lin Rui and the others entered Santuyak from the Kenyan border, and then passed through a border road in extremely poor condition to a valley near the Santuyak border.

"Is this the place?" Lin Rui asked Park Dongxiang, who was driving.

Park Dongsang checked the on-board GPS locator and nodded, "That's right, this is it." ”

A few people got out of the car and checked the surroundings, but they found nothing but red sand and desert weeds.

"The location of the drone crash is there. Louis pointed to a hollow in the distance, then turned in the direction of the valley, "According to the direction, there was a small base in the valley at that time, but they evacuated cleanly. Almost nothing remains. ”

"Maybe they didn't evacuate too cleanly. Jason, who had been crouching to check the marks on the ground, suddenly raised his head and said, "Look at this, what did I find." ”

"It's a shell, you can see what model it is. Lin Rui frowned.

"The specific model is unknown, but it can be seen that it is a large-caliber bullet, which should be 12. Machine gun cartridges of 7 caliber. Jason frowned.

"Large-caliber machine guns. Maybe this is the one who shot down that prototype. There should have been a lot of shells at the time, but they probably cared too much about the prototype when they cleaned up the battlefield, and they neglected their own cartridge casings. Lin Rui took the bullet case in Jason's hand and frowned, "Where did you find it?" ”

"In the grass, and only this one shell was found. Jason frowned.

"It's not surprising that they've searched the area carefully. Lin Rui thought about it, watched Jason find the location of the bullet casing, and then looked at the crash site. He suddenly turned around and walked to the other side. Aside from the grass and sneered, "It seems that my judgment is correct, there is a machine gun bunker here." You can still see it from the traces. ”

At this time, Jiang An walked over from a distance, shook his head and said, "I also checked nearby, and there are no valuable clues." They handled it very well, it's all this red sand, and as soon as the wind blows, the traces all change, and I didn't even find the tire marks they left. What about you, what did you find?"

"Jason picked up a bullet casing. Lin Rui threw the shell at Jiang'an. He took the shore in his hand, put it slightly under his nose and sniffed it, and immediately frowned, "The shell that just finished shooting." I can still smell gunpowder. 12。 7 caliber, the firepower is fierce enough, is it left by the gang?"

"It should be. But they are very experienced enough to clean this place so thoroughly. Presumably they also know that Raytheon will not give up and will definitely come to investigate. That's why it's cleaned up so clean. Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "This laterite sandy land has dry air and strong wind and sand, and it may be able to hide some traces." But not on the canyon side, where there are plants, and the ground is moist, so it's easier to leave marks. Let's go there again. ”
