Cape Town Residency, the music of the underground paradise is as loud as ever, and the lights and the figure of women make this place full of psychedelic colors. Lin Rui sat in front of the bar and knocked on the table.

    Bar owner Angel glanced at him and said lightly, "What kind of wine?"

    "Have a cup of warm milk. Lin Rui sighed.

    "If you don't drink, what are you doing at the bar?" Angel looked at him with some dissatisfaction and said coldly.

    Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Because I have nowhere to go." But sitting here without drinking anything seems a little unsociable. ”

    "So you're just hanging out in the middle of a bunch of drunken mercenaries and drinking a glass of hot milk?" Angel frowned.

    "Actually, because you have cheap milk here, and I'm a little poor. Lin Rui said with a smile.

    Angel looked at him, poured him a glass of wine, and pushed it to him with her fingers. "Count me in. ”

    "Why did you invite me to drink? I remember all the mercenaries here saying you were a miser. Lin Rui took the wine glass, looked at the amber liquid inside and muttered.

    "First because I don't have milk here. Second, I sympathize with the poor, and I don't want you to be too unsociable. Angel was so eloquent.

    Lin Rui smiled, turned his head to look at his teammates who were carnivaling in the distance, and said a little strangely, "Angel, you all say that you are a person with a story, can you tell me your story? ”

    "My story is actually your story. Angel wiped the table with a rag and turned her head to look at him, "The difference is that I'm retired and you're just getting started." When you live to my age, you will naturally know my story. And I have to correct you a little bit, they don't love me, they just love the wine and service I provide. ”

    " makes sense. Lin Rui nodded, raised his glass to him and said, "In order to live to your age, I have to drink this glass." ”

    While they were chatting casually, Zhao Jianfei walked in, raised his hand and whistled sharply.

    Lin Rui turned his head and looked, "It seems that there is something to do again." ”

    "I wish you had something to do, or I'd have to treat you to a second drink." Angel smiled.

    Lin Rui pushed away the chair with a smile and followed Zhao Jianfei outside. The rest of the squad members also came out one after another. Qin Fen and Peng Lefeng hooked their shoulders and supported each other, while Ivan was bare-chested and exposed, and his knotted muscles were exposed unscrupulously. They saw Zhao Jianfei a little puzzled and said, "What's the matter, captain?"

    "There are emergencies that need to be dealt with. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "And Yelena?"

    " is coming. Yelena pushed the door open from the bar.

    "Okay, I'll give you twenty minutes to find a way to sober yourself up." Twenty minutes later, we will gather in the small building for the latest mission. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

    As soon as they heard the word mission, these team members couldn't help but move, and then they all dispersed without saying a word. Only Lin Rui was still standing there. Zhao Jianfei looked at him and said, "You didn't drink?"

    " had a drink, and it was provided free of charge by Angel. Lin Rui shrugged.

    "Well, it seems that this old miser likes you quite a bit. I rarely get his free drinks. Zhao Jianfei shrugged.

    Lin Rui frowned a little and said, "What the hell is going on? I remember that we are no longer in the combat sequence of the African Division, and besides, the African Division is in a mess now, what tasks do we need to assemble so urgently?"

    "You're right, this time it's the real big task. The fact that we have appointed the chief executive shows that the company's top management attaches great importance to this task. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "Specifically, we'll talk about it in detail later." ”

    Twenty minutes later, all the members of the XCOM team gathered in their building. Zhao Jianfei looked at everyone, "We have a new mission, and this mission is very important. I want to make it clear to you beforehand that this is a dirty job. ”

    "Dirty work?" Ivan frowned.

    In military security companies, there is a very special definition of "dirty work", which refers to a sensitive task that cannot see the light. For some special reason, the regular army cannot intervene, or is unable to take risks, and tasks are usually accomplished through mercenaries like them. It is best to be able to do it, and if it is not completed, there will not be too much risk and loss for the employer. And such tasks generally involve very serious international implications.

    So as soon as he heard "dirty work", Ivan couldn't help frowning.

    "Who are you helping this time?" Yelena also said a little suspiciously.

    "This time is different, we are not helping anyone, but directly for the company. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "The target of this mission is a very special person. ”

    He finished and put a picture on the screen on the screen, showing a black man, strong and young, dressed in camouflage and armed with an automatic weapon.

    "Is that him?" Lin Rui frowned.

     "Yes, his name is Guray. This man's status is extremely special, he is a member of the royal family of the oldest ethnic group in Africa. In 1989, the kingdom was destroyed by a mutiny within the army, and a group of warlords overthrew the dynasty. From then on, Guray, who was supposed to inherit the throne, went into exile. Hell-bent on recovering his country, he did a lot of things. Exposure to various military organizations and systematic military training. And he has maintained certain contacts with many African heads of state. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

    " sounds like an African version of the Prince's Revenge. Lin Rui teased.

    " Yes, and in a very bloody version. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "In order to seek as much assistance as possible, he has personally participated in many military conflicts in Africa as a mercenary. In 1993, at the age of 20, Gurray participated in the command of the battle of Mogadishu, which shocked the world at the time. He relied on the guerrilla warfare experience he had accumulated in various places to defeat the U.S. Rangers and Delta Forces in urban street battles. ”

    "I'll go, so exaggerated?" Ivan's face changed suddenly.

    "Yes, this battle is included in the classic examples of contemporary urban street fighting. After the battle of Mogadishu, the US military directly regarded ground warfare as a daunting path. Since then, whether it is Operation Desert Fox against Iraq or the Kosovo War and the Libyan War, the US military has adopted a non-contact combat method -- air raid warfare. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

     "So this time, are we going to deal with this Gu Lei?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "No, we're going to try to rescue him. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.
