Chapter 48: Ghosts of the Sea

β€œ7。 How about the millimeter ammunition in the novel?" Qin Fen asked, sorting out the ammunition.

"Good. Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Each of us brings a 7." Gun with 62 mm ammunition. According to intelligence, the pirates used weapons from the AK series. In that case, you will be able to replenish the source of ammunition from the local area when needed. Except for Yelena's sniper rifle. ”

Yelena's long-barreled black gun is an M82A1 anti-materiel sniper rifle. This sniper rifle has standard components: cat-collimator, stock, barrel...... And even the firing parts can be removed. She quickly disassembled the gun and reassembled it as she had requested. She attached the barrel of a muzzle brake with a silencing and flame suppression function, and corrected it. In the end, she took five more boxes of magazines.

Lin Rui chose an Bayi assault rifle, which is a copy of the Soviet AK47 standard assault rifle, completely made in China. The firepower is strong enough, the security is also high, and it has fewer failures than its predecessor, the AK series. Holding this gun gave Lin Rui a sense of security.

Lin Rui picked up another dagger, a twenty-centimeter-long blade, and on the other side was a sharp tooth, made of non-reflective carbon steel alloy, which could be used for throwing. He grabbed a large number of magazines and stopped suddenly. He slowly put them back in the ammo box, leaving only five. He knew very well in his heart that if he got to the point where he had to use so many magazines, this task would probably have been ruined.

Everyone's choice is much the same. In addition to his weapons, he also chose a PDA with satellite connectivity and a field first aid kit. Qin Fen picked out a set of standard lock-picking equipment. Peng Lefeng took three GPS trackers. These trackers can be attached to an object so that they can track it all the way. Whether it's used on the cargo ship to return the hostages, you can do it.

Ivan carried two backpacks. This stout hulder, in addition to the guns and weapons, also packed the bag with a high C-4**, enough to blow through the ship.

"Do you think that's enough?" Shogishi laughed at him.

"Do you think I should take a little more?" replied Ivan with a smile, "maybe a little fireworks would be more to celebrate the completion of the mission." ”

"Alright, don't say it. Are you all ready?" asked Zhao Jianfei.

Ivan smiled and quickly grabbed a spare magazine. "Ready!" said Kishi to Ivan with the middle finger, mocking his greed and fanaticism for weapons.

Lin Rui and Qin Fen both nodded.

"Then let's go. Hurry up and keep up, we're on board. Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice.

After Lin Rui and other team members packed up and boarded the ship, they all gathered in the cabin and looked at the task briefing in their hands. They still have three or four hours to get to the port, and they can use this time to familiarize themselves with the main points of this mission.

Shogan, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke, "I think we might be in trouble." ”

"Trouble, you mean the pirates?" said Ivan, scoffing, "what trouble can those armed men with the same equipment as beggars do us?"

Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt, Ivan, I really want to hear what Jiang An has to say." ”

"Yes. As I said, I need your professional advice. Zhao Jianfei also nodded, "What did you find?"

"Two findings, first, that the pirates clashed with local warlord forces last month. They even routed the local armed fleet, which at least shows that their armament was not very bad. The second discovery is about hostages. Shogishi pulled out the photo from the mission briefing, held it in his hand and said, "This hostage is our real trouble." ”

"Hostage?" Lin Rui frowned at the person in the photo and frowned slightly, "What's so special about him?"

"You're on point. This man is not an idle person. His name is Alpha, an arms dealer who is involved in multiple felonies and is wanted in six countries. But that's not where he is famous, this alpha is best known for creating explosive devices, and the infamous suicide vest is said to have been designed by him. And he is also an expert in making a dirty bomb. "Shogan said slowly.

"Fuck, I'm starting to dislike this guy. Ivan shook his head.

"Nobody likes this alpha unless it's his patron. The crux of the matter is how such an arms trafficker could end up in Somali waters and be kidnapped by a group of pirates. As far as I know, he has no business with local warlords in Africa. His business is mainly focused on the Middle East and South America. Shogishi frowned.

Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, this time our employer should be the local military, otherwise it would be impossible for them to provide intelligence and assistance on this matter." Perhaps the arms dealer has expanded his business and has ties to the local warlords. Otherwise, why would the local warlord boss hire us to save people?"

Shogishi frowned, "Maybe, but I've always felt that this thing is a little unusual. When acting, it's best to be careful. This so-called hostage is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

It's eight o'clock in the evening, and it's all dark. The boat on which Lin Rui and others were traveling did not enter the port of Mogadishu, but began to slow down outside the port. "We're slowing down. He whispered. "It's almost approaching the port, and I've ordered the engines and all the lights on board to be turned off. Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice.

Their team of seven men was once again in complete darkness.

Lin Rui opened the hatch through a gap and put down the infrared night vision device attached to the helmet. It's calm outside, it's normal, no one.

The team climbed out, hung down the back of the cabin, and pulled down the oxygen masks. They put both weapons and equipment in waterproof backpacks. They looked a little bloated, but soon they disappeared into the water, like ghosts disappearing into the sea.

The port of Mogadishu is built in solid rock. The bright lights of the harbor effectively shine on every corner, looking like some little big sun hanging in the sky. There are a number of ships anchored in the harbor, which makes the old cargo ship Goat not very noticeable.

It's full of people. Mostly workers, but also people in gray muslin uniforms. Lin Rui's first instinctive reaction was to look for cover. Everyone here is a potential threat, and no one knows if these seemingly ordinary people are related to pirates, or if they are pirates themselves.

The team silently climbed aboard the Goat, through an empty hallway, into the hold. The road was safe, there was no resistance, and no detection. For the time being, they arrived at their destination.

The cargo hold is a huge room filled with all sorts of cans and cans. Huge oil storage tanks are also installed here. A small forklift in the distance shuttles between rows of goods, checking for possible loosening of the boxes.

"I've found information about this ship, it's really old. When it was built, there were no electronic drawings yet, so it was completely behind the times. But I couldn't find the ship's structural diagram. It looks like the cargo box containing the supplies is in this hold. Find the pirates' supplies and locate the island based on where they unloaded. Shoki looked at his PDA before shoving it back into his pocket.

Hiding in the shadows, they kept going, stopping every few meters to listen to what was going on around them, while making sure there was no one else within their range.

Lin Rui walked ahead, raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and then pointed to the security door on the starboard side.

He motioned for Qin Fen and Peng Lefeng beside him to go in. Qin Fen took out the lock picker and stabbed open the security door in a few clicks. They dodged in sideways and closed the door again.

Lin Rui, Zhao Jianfei and Yelena were waiting outside the door. A moving object came into their field of vision, and Lin Rui quickly dodged into the shadows of the cargo pile, grabbed his weapon, and prepared to shoot.

A small forklift truck drove past a nearby hallway.

The huge cargo hatch opened with a slight sizzle. The light shines in. A team of dock workers in hazmat suits walk into the hold.

Lin Rui clung to his Bayi style. One of the workers glanced twice into the hallway where they were hiding. Lin Rui bent down and was ready......

He slowly raised his weapon, his hands not shaking, and aimed it at the man's chest. As soon as the man moved, he had to shoot him. Cold, calm! Pull the trigger slowly, Zhao Jianfei used to shout at them during weapons training courses. However, as a last resort, Lin Rui still didn't want to do it. Fortunately, the man stopped, lit a cigarette, stretched, and continued walking. There was even a soft and cheerful whistling in his mouth. I had no idea that I had already gone around in front of the ghost gate and came back.

Qin Fen and Peng Lefeng bent over and walked back. Peng Lefeng opened his hand upwards with his palm, and then clenched his fist again to signalβ€”he had already attached the tracker.

Shore took out the PDA from his backpack. He turned on the tracker system and saw a blue dot of light light up on his video screen. He gave Peng Lefeng a thumbs up, and then closed the computer. The tracker is installed, and it means a lot to them. Because even they were exposed and forced to disembark. You can also find the pirate base according to the tracker. As long as these supplies are sent to the pirate base. They will be able to find it.

"Well done, it's still some time before this cargo ship sets sail. Until then, we try to hide in the cargo hold as much as possible. Keep an eye on the goods. As long as we are careful enough, then this ship is our free shipping ship. Zhao Jianfei looked at his watch and said in a low voice. "Lin Rui, you three newcomers are guarding the side of the entrance and enforcing vigilance, but you must not be exposed lightly. Yelena, do you see that cargo pile? I want you to be in a high place, and use your sniper rifle to take care of the support you may need. The rest of me hid with me in the cargo piles, playing hide-and-seek with the pirates. ”
