Southwest of Nairobi, Kenya's capital, northwest of Lake Magadi and on the east bank of the N'Giro River, workers are busy at a drilling site with the logo of Mobil Oil Company. From time to time, a few workers stopped what they were doing, picked up a sour-smelling towel to wipe off the sweat from their bodies, and cast resentful glances at the scorching sun hanging high above the zenith. Before they could put down their towels, they had cursed the damned God hundreds of times in their hearts.

In the bushes 800 meters northeast of the construction site, a group of lions that have just filled their bellies are enjoying the shade. The two adult male lions in the lead gazed at the humans behind the barbed wire with interest, as if considering whether to add an appetizer to dinner. A few female lions were busy dealing with a frolicking group of cubs, and from time to time they called back the stray cubs, as if they were afraid that they would be harmed by the mysterious visitors.

As the sun moves westward, the night will bring a touch of coolness to this land forgotten by God.

In the evening, the lions got up and left the bushes and walked slowly towards the grassland to the north. The two adult male lions still looked back from time to time, and what they saw as an alien was about to finish their last job of the day. The male lion was reluctant to give up his prey, but he was helpless. The female lioness did not have much interest in the two-legged things, probably thinking that the prey was too thin and lackluster to fill the belly of all the lions. Perhaps in a few hours, they will hunt a wildebeest or a bison in the savannah north to give all members of the family, especially the lion cubs that are thriving and need plenty of food, enough to get enough nutrition.

Night slowly fell, the ground was covered with black quilts, and the lights on the construction site were lit up.

In the bushes where the lions were in the shade during the day, two gray figures crawled out of the ground, and then disappeared into the darkness. Eight hundred meters away, the workers were having dinner, and no one noticed the slightest change.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?"

In the bushes, the two figures talked in a low voice. They are not ordinary people, but special forces with unique skills, veritable kings of soldiers.

"You're talking about lions?" The man on the left smiled coldly and said, "The most terrible enemy is not beasts, but people. ”

"Fortunately, I am your partner, not your enemy."

Both laughed. From the north, the screams of the bison drowned out the conversation between the two men.

The lions have succeeded. A life departed. More lives have been given the right to a place to live.

That's how it goes. It is staged every day on the savannah. Cycle. Endless.

Some of the workers had dinner. Back on the construction site. The rig starts again. The roar of the motor immediately buried the sound of the natural earth.

"Lao Kang. Do you say there is oil here? ”

"Oil? I do not know. Anyway, it's not oil for them to find land. ”

Kang Xiaoting, 28 years old, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, belongs to Unit 103, commonly known as the "Lion" special forces, captain special forces. He has been serving for ten years, eight of which were spent in the special forces, a true "veteran". Like all Hebei people, he has a strong physique, a bold character, and a tough style. Because he was born in a martial arts family, he had already developed a good skill before joining the army. After entering the special forces, he was even more like a fish in water, and his kung fu also made further progress, winning the championship of the military region fighting competition for five consecutive years. In addition, in reconnaissance, lurking, shooting, etc., Kang Xiaoting is among the best in the team.

"And what are they looking for?"

"I don't know." Kang Xiaoting shook his head and glanced at his partner beside him, "Xiao Su, did you participate in the secret operation in Iraq three years ago?" ”

"Iraq?" The young man shook his head, looking both embarrassed and envious.

Su Mingjin, 24 years old, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, a second lieutenant special soldier of Unit 103, joined the army six years ago, joined the special forces four years ago, and officially became Kang Xiaoting's partner two years ago. Although he was only an observer of the sniper team, in last year's all-team shooting competition, Su Ming won the championship and became a blockbuster. Unlike Kang Xiaoting, Su Mingjin's figure is slightly thin, which makes people feel very weak. Of course, this is only a façade. Su Mingjin's grandfather participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, and later followed the army to revolt and participated in the Liberation War and the Korean War. His father, also a soldier, lost an arm in a southern border counterattack. When he was born, Su Mingjin had the blood of a soldier in his body, and he was destined to inherit the "family business" and become a soldier, an excellent soldier.

"See those drill pipes on the site?"

Su Mingjin picked up the low-light night vision binoculars and adjusted the focus.

"The total length is less than two hundred meters." Kang Xiaoting pulled the camouflage net that was covering his head, "As far as I know, there are few oil fields in the world that can produce oil from a 200-meter drill pipe. In addition, the Great Rip Valley is very active in geology, and there was only a major earthquake last month, so there is no oil here. ”

Su Mingjin put down the binoculars and cast an admiring glance at his partner next to him.

"If you look closely at the way the workers walk, don't you think that they are all highly trained in the military, and that they are all soldiers who have served for several years?" Kang Xiaoting smiled coldly and said, "Also, look at the mobile home near the river bank in the southwest corner of the camp, do you see it?" The mobile home that can be towed by a trailer. From last night until now, not a single worker has entered, but there has always been a group of workers around. If I'm not mistaken, what we're looking for is in that mobile home. ”

"Do you want to scan it with an instrument?"

"No, you can't startle a snake." Kang Xiaoting immediately called his partner. "This group of people must be professional soldiers, or mercenaries, or, like us, special forces, not oil drillers at all. They must have placed anti-reconnaissance equipment in the camp, and the interior walls of the mobile homes must have been equipped with anti-radiation linings, and the detectors we brought were not yet useful. Don't worry, it won't be long before we know what's hidden in the house. ”

As soon as Kang Xiaoting's words fell, a pillar of light fell on the bushes, and the two immediately buried their heads.

There was a slight tremor on the ground, and the pillar of light slowly moved away. When the two looked up, a convoy of more than a dozen off-road vehicles drove along the dirt road west of the bush. The two workers guarding the door of the construction site pushed open the iron gate, and all the workers in the construction site stopped working and returned to the tents one after another.

The convoy stopped in a clearing north of the site, and more than a dozen heavily armed men dressed in civilian clothing got out of the car. The workers who came out of the tents were also carrying armed belts and carrying light weapons such as firearms.

In the bushes, Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin also took action.

Kang Xiaoting slowly pulled out the PSG-1 sniper rifle placed beside him, and slowly loaded a customized low-light scope. After zeroing the scope, Kang Xiaoting took out a magazine containing twenty bullets from the armed belt located on the right waist, and then carefully checked the chamber before loading the magazine, and pulled the bolt to load the first bullet into the chamber, and finally Kang Xiaoting gently put the handguard of the sniper rifle on the backpack covered with dead grass in front.

Su Mingjin also quickly checked the MG4 light machine gun he carried, and then took out the notepad he carried with him, and recorded the distance data recorded on it and the various landmark references in the construction site in his mind. They measured the data with a laser rangefinder yesterday night, when the construction site was attacked by a pack of hyenas. When fighting, he did not need to use a rangefinder to measure the distance of the target one by one, but used the shooting reference, combined with other data such as wind speed, to quickly provide the shooter, that is, Kang Xiaoting, with the shooting parameters of the target.

Inside the site, all the lighting is turned on.

A middle-aged white male man in a suit walked to the door of the mobile home with more than a dozen armed men, and the other armed men quickly dispersed to form a skirmisher line. The middle-aged man took out a magnetic card from his body, swiped it on the probe of the electronic lock, and a small keypad popped out of the door panel next to the probe.

"550GM smart combination lock, CIA equipment."

Su Mingjin quickly took out a professional camera-style special equipment from his backpack.

As the white man entered the password on the keyboard, the door of the mobile home popped out, revealing a crack in the door, Su Mingjin aimed the front end of the instrument at the mobile home, and a clearly raised ripple immediately appeared on the small screen at the back of the instrument. As the door opened, the ripples on the screen became steeper, eventually breaking through the red line in the middle of the screen.

"The radiation signatures are in perfect agreement, determining the nature of the target."

"Give the signal." Kang Xiaoting wiped his right hand holding the gun on the backpack and removed the sweat on his hands.

Su Mingjin took out a special miniature communication radio station from his backpack and pointed the radio's arc antenna at the night sky overhead. As the radio station was activated, a group of mixed electromagnetic wave signals that could not be seen or heard, but had extraordinary meaning, flew into the night sky and flew to a geosynchronous communication satellite 36,000 kilometers above the ground. Then, this set of signals passed through another geosynchronous communication satellite and arrived at a military base more than 10,000 kilometers away in a lightning lightning.

About two minutes later, the white man stepped out of the mobile home.

As he instructed the armed men around him to hook up the mobile home to the trailer, one of the armed men ran to his side, whispered, and looked over at the bushes where Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin were.

"Damn, it's been discovered!" As he spoke, Su Mingjin pulled the bolt of the machine gun and loaded the bullet into the chamber.

Inside the construction site, the white man whistled and gestured to the armed men around him. More than a dozen armed men immediately jumped into two off-road vehicles and drove towards the gate of the construction site.

The newly armed workers also moved quickly, and all of them were proficient in individual tactics.

Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin were not nervous, but they were very anxious. There is only a few minutes left for them
