Chapter Twenty-Nine: Single-mindedness

Gross looked at the somewhat thin young man, frowned and was silent for a while, and said slowly, "How much did Morningstar spend to hire you?"

"As an indirectly combatant, my asking price is not cheap. Mr. Jiang smiled faintly.

Gross nodded, "I can see it." If you are interested, you can consider coming to my team. I've found that we need a ...... like yours too Well, how to say? indirect combatants...... Either way, you have a lot of point. ”

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "If your price is high enough, and my contract with Morningstar expires, you can consider it." ”

Gross took a glass, poured some wine, and handed it to him.

"I don't drink alcohol at work. Mr. Jiang shook his head and said.

Gross nodded, turned around and took the wireless communicator, and issued an order, "Everyone withdraw first, leave those rats alone." Each team held my position in battle. What?" he said with a slightly changed face and a somewhat strange expression, "You caught one of them?"

Mr. Jiang sat behind him, seemingly unresponsive, but sighed secretly in his heart. He helped everything he could. Some of the members of the fifth team were captured, but he did not expect it.

Gross sneered, "Good, keep him, I'm going to use him as bait." ”

Lin Rui and the others were feeling strange, although they had already exposed their positions, but the mercenaries of Gross did not seem to besiege them again, but retreated one after another, apparently returning to the perimeter of the main building of the fortress and continuing to defend.

Qin Fen said a little dazedly, "Xiaolin, what's going on?"

"I don't know, maybe that's what Michelle said about the turnaround, maybe it's really the actuary who is helping us. Lin Rui frowned.

"Whatever the hell is going on, at least we're safe for now. Chen Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you stay up for another hour, and wait for the other teams to arrive, you will be fine." ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Yes, but don't be too relaxed." Hurry up and sort out your equipment and ammunition. Perhaps their temporary retreat was just to paralyze us, a qiē tread carefully. "After a while of fighting, they were all too tired to die. Lin Rui and the others leaned on a concrete pillar in the ruins, barely ate some food and drank a little water. It was the first time in a whole day that they had time to eat.

After a short rest, Qin Fen squatted in a corner of the abandoned building, vigilantly checking the situation below. Chen Nanqing, on the other hand, crouched on a broken girder, observing the movement in the distance with a telescope.

"Lin Rui, their retreat doesn't look like it's fake. They seem to be consciously shrinking the line of defense. Chen Nanqing said in a low voice.

Qin Fen also said in a low voice, "Indeed, it seems that they want to hold on to the main building of the fortress. They were erecting weapons, and some were erecting makeshift bunkers around the building. Looks like they don't care about us anymore. ”

"What is that?" Lin Rui suddenly frowned and pointed to a distance of more than three hundred meters.

"It seems to be a person?" Qin Fen said in surprise.

Chen Nanqing's telescope saw more clearly, and he said in a low voice, "They arrested Peng Lefeng." ”

"What?" Lin Rui took a few steps with a face, took out the binoculars, and immediately began to observe. Before the main building of the fortress, the mercenaries tied Peng Lefeng to the flagpole. His helmet was gone, and his face was bruised in multiple places. And a large patch of blood stained half of his body. Blood was even dripping from the corners of his camouflage uniform. I don't know if it's his own, or someone else's.

"He's a bad guy now. Those guys won't let him go. Qin Fen muttered.

Gross's mercenaries really didn't intend to let Peng Lefeng go, they were beating him in various ways for fun. At the beginning, Peng Lefeng was still struggling and scolding, but after a few minutes, he hung his head and didn't move much. Let Gross's mercenaries beat them with their fists, whip them with their thick military belts, and even kick them with their heavy military boots.

Probably knowing that he is Chinese, there is a mercenary who even imitates the Chinese kung fu from the movie theory, punching and kicking him strangely, causing a group of mercenaries to laugh. The punch hit Peng Lefeng's face, and he could even see blood splashing on the flagpole behind him.

Lin Rui's stomach cramped, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He silently checked the firearm, filled the magazine with bullets, and then turned to Qin Fen and said, "Are there any grenades?"

Qin Fen's face changed drastically, he grabbed his wrist and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do? Don't be stupid!"

"I'm not stupid. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "When we attacked that anti-aircraft gun, it was Peng Lefeng who shot and saved me at a critical time." It was this shot that allowed him to expose his sniper position. He was captured, and I am responsible. ”

"Are you crazy? Why did they beat Peng Lefeng in public, and besides, there were so many people gathered there, it was clear that they wanted to lure us over. This is called encirclement and reinforcement!" Chen Nanqing said angrily. "Before you can get there, you'll be shot. ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "I know." So I have to go even more. He didn't turn his back on me when it was really a matter of life and death, so I can't turn my back on him either. You stay here and wait for help. I'm going to figure this out on my own. ”

"You're a madman, how are you going to solve this alone? There were at least a dozen people there, not counting the snipers with guns in ambush inside the building. Why did you save him?" Chen Nanqing shouted in a deep voice, "People must learn to accept reality, especially in our line of work. ”

"If I were to accept the reality, I would be a gatekeeper right now. Lin Rui said lightly, "In the face of my life, I chose to take risks. Because I could not afford to witness the poverty and misfortune of my loved ones. In the same way, I can't look at a man who is in danger trying to save me and that's it. At the slightest chance, I'll save him. If you really can't do it......"

"What else do you want?" Qin Fen said in surprise.

"If I can't do it, I'll shoot him for a ride so that he doesn't suffer too much. Lin Rui said calmly, "Now, get out of the way." ”

Qin Fen shook his head and said, "I can't watch you die. What's more, we have received Mr. Mi's assignment and are here to wait for help. ”

"the mission. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "A mercenary is a job, but work is not all of a person. People always have to do something for their own lives, and that's what I'm going to do for myself. Otherwise, even if I live to old age, I will not be comfortable in this life. Because when I think about it, I don't feel like I'm a human being. ”

"You're really not human, you're just a donkey! You can't pull it back, you can't pull it back, you can't pull it back, and you still walk upside down when you fight!" Qin Fen roared angrily, "Okay, you go." We won't stop you, but don't think we'll help you!
