Chapter 209: Tongue

"This is due to the special nature of our mission, we have to follow the convoy through several countries in order to distribute these food supplies as planned. Because most of these countries do not have airports, and some do not even have railways, they can only be transported by trucks. That meant we had to cross hundreds of kilometres of African plains. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"That's why you're crossing the border with powerful weapons?" General Leon sneered.

"Given the precarious situation in some areas, armed looting has occurred from time to time. That's why we are arming these foods, because for the countries that are in the food aid programme, these foods and supplies are life-saving for the people of Africa. We cannot allow armed robbers to move this relief supply, which is why we have guns. As for the sniper weapons you mentioned, they are meant to adapt to the vast open terrain. And because of its great power, it also has a certain destructive effect on the vehicles of the armed bandits. Sniper weapons can get rid of them at a relatively long distance when they are being pursued. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

General Leon thought for a moment and didn't continue to ask. Instead, they looked at their Humvee, and then at Yelena, who was dressed as a peacekeeping force. frowned and said, "Why do women participate in your escort work?"

Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "The place where we work is not in Andira. In Andira, you may be able to despise these women. But at the United Nations, if anyone objected to women participating in such missions, they would be besieged by a group of feminists and labeled as sexist. We don't want that. Your Excellency, we all have our own difficulties, and if you don't let us go, we will be completely left behind. The chief will fix ours severely. ”

Leon pondered for a moment, then picked up the testimonial again and verified the photos of each of them. Finally, he handed the text back to Zhao Jianfei, "You can go, but be careful next time, it's best to follow your convoy." ”

"Yes, General. Zhao Jianfei stood up and saluted. Leon snorted coldly, turned and left, and all the Andira Wehrmacht troops withdrew.

Lin Rui and the others returned to the car, he leaned back on the seat, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, full of cold sweat. "Just now, it was so dangerous, I thought I was going to be exposed. I'm ready to fight. If it weren't for Boss Zhao and Lin Rui, they were brave and strategic. We have to be tragic today. Ivan said with emotion.

"Yes, they are outnumbered. If it had been exposed, we would have been dead. Qin Fenzhi shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's leave here early." With that, he turned and started the car, and drove all the way forward.

Lin Rui frowned and said, "What happened just now seems to have exposed a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" said Yelena, puzzled.

"This is the border between Andila and Santujak, and now Santujak's government forces are no longer able to guard the border. Andira, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by a large number of troops, and even high-ranking officials such as the deputy defense minister came here to inspect in person at this time. This shows that Andira has entered the stage of war mobilization in China, and war is imminent. Lin Rui said slowly.

Zhao Jianfei nodded, "So we have to get rid of Loren within a week." One of the drawbacks of all repressive dictatorships is that once the dictator dies, there is an internal power vacuum. When the time comes, Loren's successors will no longer care about foreign wars, but will turn to the struggle for power at home. This is also the meaning of this decapitation mission. ”

The XCOM team continued to follow the UN WFP convoy, still keeping a distance from them, even if they were not detected and not left behind. When they encountered Andira's inspection checkpoint, they could also generously say that they were with the convoy in front.

The midday sun in Africa is dizzying, especially after a long drive. But their destination is almost there. Zhao Jianfei instructed Qin Fen to drive the Humvee to a hidden place under the highway. He then took out the map and said to the team members, "We can't follow the convoy anymore." Because our target location is right in front of the small village. The African wizard that Loren was superstitious about was in this village, and it was highly likely that he knew the exact time of the raid. ”

"It's not easy, let's go in quickly, get this old guy out and ask him. Ivan frowned.

"You probably don't know it, but wizards are revered by a lot of people here. If you rush in and arrest people like this, the whole village will fight with you. When it comes to being brave and ruthless, the Andilla people are good hands. Zhao Jianfei shook his head and said. "I need someone to sneak in and get that old thing out for me to interrogate. ”

"I'll go. Lin Rui said slowly.

"I'll go with you. You don't speak the language, and the language spoken in this village here seems to be some kind of Nigerien. I can almost communicate with them. Yelena frowned. "Otherwise, you don't understand what they say. ”

"I don't care what he says, just knock him out and come back. Won't you just let you interrogate?" Lin Rui smiled.

"Then how can you be sure that the person you arrested is the wizard, if you catch the wrong person, do you turn around and go back and catch another one?" Yelena said helplessly.

"That's right, the two of you go together. The rest of the people are on the outside to keep an eye out and provide them with the necessary cover if needed. Zhao Jianfei whispered, "Act now!"

Lin Rui took off his blue helmet and covered his entire face with a sand scarf, revealing only his two eyes. Walking into this small African village from the front, Yelena is like an agile cat, stooping down and sneaking through the shadows of the village.

On this almost barbarian African continent, many people still believe in the power of witchcraft, and seek medical advice, weddings, funerals, etc. Most of the sorcerers who claim to know witchcraft will sacrifice the skulls and fur of animals to obtain the energy they need.

And the sorcerer's dwelling in this village is easy to tell, with some kind of strange figure drawn on the yellow earthen walls with animal blood. Two quirky wood-carved totem poles stand at the doorway.

Lin Rui pushed open the door, and the room was filled with the corrosive smell of animals, and the furs and bones of various animals were dazzling, all from the primeval jungles of all parts of Africa.

This is the residence of a Ugandan wizard who is said to have mystical powers. However, Lin Rui didn't feel any fear at all. In his opinion, this so-called wizard is simply as ridiculous as a clown. A mercenary like him, who rolls in the bloody rain every day, if he is afraid of an old man who pretends to be a ghost, it is really the biggest joke. Besides, Lin Rui didn't come to ask for witchcraft, he just came to scratch the "tongue".
