Chapter 256: Labor Camp

Lin Rui jumped out of the Humvee and nodded, "It's not bad, but they don't have any defenses at all." As if they had been prepared, the situation would have been completely different. ”

"It's over so soon, and I'm not enjoying it at all. Ivan shook his head and laughed.

"Then let's set off a large firework. You go into the mine with Peng Lefeng and install **. Pay attention to try to destroy some of the more important support points, reinforcement areas, etc. We're going to let the mine collapse completely, and we won't be able to recover it for at least a few months. Qin Fen, you and Yelena cover them at the entrance of the mine. Lin Rui said loudly.

"So what are we going to do?" Vitak said.

"Let's go and release the workers who have been locked up. Lin Rui nodded and said, "It's almost time now." If we detonate **, it will definitely alarm the nearby rebels. And these laborers are exhausted, and they will not be able to escape if they are not released early. It is very likely that they will be captured by these rebels again. In this case, our efforts will be in vain. ”

"Okay, let's go," Vitak nodded and said to Ali, a black boy next to him. Then the black teenager led them and ran briskly in the direction of the labor camp.

"Strange, isn't there a guard here," Lin Rui frowned.

"Because they don't need guards at all. These people are being held here indefinitely, without trial or sentence. Only food was provided in the labor camps, and the required amount of ore had to be exchanged. They don't have a way to survive without here. You also see the machine guns at the gate outside, and the rebels are not trying to prevent people from outside from coming in, but to prevent them from escaping. Virtek shook his head.

Lin Rui forcefully opened the iron gate of the labor camp and said to Vitak, "They all seem to be hiding in the room, and we can't find them like this." Let the boy go, let him tell the laborers inside, let them inform each other, tell them that now they are free. ”

Virtek said a few words to the black boy Ali. Ali nodded and quickly ran into the barracks. It is said to be a barracks, but in fact it is some abandoned mine holes that have been mined, where most of the miners stay, and another group is still working in the mines.

Soon the mutual notification method worked, and more and more miners gathered in the open space in the middle of the camp. Lin Rui was slightly surprised, "How many of them are there?"

"Look at it, if not a thousand, there are eight hundred. Vitak said.

The miners were ragged and unkempt. Malnutrition and overwork made them emaciated. Everyone's eyes seemed to be dull, and they couldn't even see the slightest bit of vitality.

"Go, there the door is and you are free. Virtak shouted in the local dialect.

But no one moved, and the miners looked at them hesitantly, not daring to take a step at all.

"Walk, run along this road, cross Route 7, and you'll be free. There are refugee reception centres, there are food and beds, and even doctors. Let's go, let's go," Vitak yelled anxiously.

The miners still looked at them trembling and suspicious, not the slightest hint of moving.

"What's wrong with them," Lin Rui frowned.

"It should be that they have been frightened for a long time, and they have no strength to resist at all. Hunger, beatings, and all kinds of physical and mental persecution have already broken their spirits. Vitak shook his head, "I don't even have the courage to run away." ”

"Then use a gun to chase" Lin Rui picked up the gun and fired a burst of fire into the air, and then said to Vitak, "Sue them, anyone who refuses to leave will be shot on the spot." ”

This time his method worked, and the miners, who were forced by death, squeezed out of the labor camp in panic and ran north along the road.

Lin Rui sighed helplessly, "These guys, how do they treat these laborers to make people like this." I've heard how miserable black slaves were on South American plantations. I didn't expect that here, as a black man, General Dunby could so cruelly enslave his own compatriots. ”

"Let's go. I finally managed to get them out. Virtek shook his head.

"Well, what's wrong with that kid. Lin Rui saw the black boy Ali squatting at the door of the labor camp and sobbing, while making some more movements.

"We were late, and his family didn't seem to make it. Virtek said with a sigh. The gestures he made were a local tribal witchcraft ritual used to remember the dead. ”

Lin Rui sighed and said, "Sue this kid, I regret it, but he also has to go with the others, and it will be dangerous to stay here." Especially after the explosion, a large number of enemy troops are likely to arrive at the point of speaking. ”

"We can't keep him," Virtek hesitated.

"Of course not, what do you want to escape to the refugee camp north of Route 7, he will be well taken care of. And with us, he will be caught in a battle at any time, and if the bullet does not last long, he will die. Are you willing to do this," Lin Rui frowned.

"I understand what you mean, it's just that this kid is so pathetic. Virtek said slowly.

"It's because he's pitiful that he can't be with us. It's better to be alive than anything else. Lin Rui walked over and patted the child on the shoulder, then turned to leave. "Say goodbye to him and give him some food. But don't give him too much, and don't give him money. Too much food and money will be coveted by others, and maybe it will kill him. ”

"It's not easy to be alive, especially in this world. A lot of times it's a kind of luck to be alive, to live well, kid. Virtek sighed, handed Ali some of the food he was carrying, whispered a few goodbyes to him, and then turned to leave.

Lin Rui and Vitak came to the mouth of the mine and found Yelena and Qin Fen. "What's the situation inside," Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"The miners who are working have also been evacuated, however, Ivan and they are still inside, and the resettlement is going well. I just talked to him, and in ten minutes at most, they will be able to come out. Qin Fen said, "How is your side?" ”

"If you don't believe it, we've rescued almost a thousand laborers. They were crammed into abandoned mines, forced to work for long hours every day in exchange for barely subsistence food, and many of them were skinny and skinny. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "What's even more ironic is that the people who captured and enslaved them also claimed to be the Freedom Liberation Alliance." ”

"General Dunby has never been shameless, just get used to it. Qin Fen shrugged
