It was dawn, and Lin Rui lay on the ground feeling sore. From yesterday noon until the whole evening, he did not close his eyes, and only at dawn did he rest a little in this dilapidated room.

Shogishi was still fiddling with his tactical computer, and to his annoyance, he still hadn't been able to get in touch with headquarters.

"Haven't been contacted yet?" Lin Rui said with some difficulty.

"No, it should have been affected by the previous interference, which triggered the protection mechanism of the access port. This is an emergency protection mechanism to prevent the other side from chasing satellite signals after an attack. Access to the satellite communication port will be denied and will need to be re-authorized or remotely unlocked at headquarters. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Sergey shook his head, "I don't care about your broken computer either, I just feel like every muscle hurts all over my body." ”

Shogishi shook his head, "To put it simply, we've lost contact with headquarters. Unless HQ is sure we're okay, they won't unlock communications. This is a safety procedure. ”

"Damn it. So what do we do now? Can we reach out to other people and go the other way? What about Virtek's intelligence contact point?" Lin Rui said helplessly.

"His nearest intelligence contact point is also a thousand kilometers away. Shogan shook his head and said, "Besides, we don't have access to the satellite network now, how can we contact them?"

"Okay. Lin Rui stood up and walked a few steps, "How is the situation outside?"

"Martial law should not have been lifted. I looked at the window and saw that there were quite a few Orumi federal troops everywhere, and there seemed to be checkpoints set up at every street corner. It seems that they are not ready to evacuate immediately. Snakeeye whispered.

Lin Rui sat on the broken sofa and said in a low voice, "Damn it, maybe they changed their minds." This is to be turned into a government control area, so the federal forces will not evacuate, they will wait for the other handover forces to arrive. This means that we are in danger when we go out. ”

"It seems so. And that's not all. The Order's men are still searching for us along the river. Although we have laid some false traces before, they will lead them downstream of the river. But if they don't find it for a long time, they may come back at any time. If they come back here and do a big search, it will be the worst we can face. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.

"So we can't let that happen, and we're going to try to get out before they react. Lin Rui's brows furrowed. "That's right, Yelena. How's that black chick?"

"The mood is not so tense anymore. But it's still scary. Yelena whispered. "If you have any other options, you shouldn't rely on her to find out the news. She was so scared and scared that once she went out, she would never come back. It is even possible to informe government forces. ”

"I understand, but we don't seem to have a choice, we have to understand what's going on out there as soon as possible. And if we are outside, it looks too dazzling. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "But that girl is different, she is a local, and her appearance should not attract attention." And she's familiar with the area, she should know how to leave. ”

"I'm not sure she's going to cooperate. Yelena shook her head. "Even if she didn't dare betray us out of fear, she would have fled. ”

"Well, I know, I know. Lin Rui paced back and forth, a little anxiously said, "But now we have no other way but to take the risk and try." You stay with me, and we'll go talk to her. Maybe women will communicate better with each other. ”

Yelena shook her head helplessly and walked into the room next to her with Lin Rui. The black girl was tied up and curled up in a corner, and when she saw someone walk in, she looked terrified and curled up in the corner.

Lin Rui sighed, dragged a chair, and sat next to him. Looking at the black girl, she whispered, "If I remove the strip of cloth from your mouth, can you promise not to scream?"

The black girl was frightened, and Lin Rui could only shake her head, "Then let's explain the problem in another way." If you shout, I'll kill you with one shot. The muzzle is equipped with a muffler, and the sound will not be very loud. But if you don't shout, we won't be exposed, and you won't die. Do you hear me?"

The black girl nodded hesitantly. Lin Rui waved his hand and asked Yelena to take out the strip of cloth that was stuffed in her mouth.

The black girl tried her best to control herself, she kept shaking, but she didn't scream.

"I'm sorry to get you involved, but now that it's like this, we all have no choice. You must want us to leave quickly. But trust me, that's what we think too. Lin Rui leaned back in his chair, still holding a gun in his hand. "The only way to get us out of here is yourself. ”

"Me?" the black girl froze.

"Yes, we can't go out at this time. But we need to know what's going on outside in order to try to escape. Lin Rui looked at her and said, "If you can inquire for us, we should leave smoothly, and as soon as possible." So I'll give you a choice.

Here's two hundred dollars, and you can take one hundred of them and go out and help us find out what's going on outside. When you come back and tell me, take the other hundred. Or you can choose not to return the money after taking it, but that would be a violation of the agreement between us. So we'll find you and kill you. What do you choose? money or bullets. ”

"You're going to let me go and give me back the money?" the black girl whispered, a little fearful.

"Yes. Just take a few neighborhoods and tell us everything you see about the government forces. We promise to leave as soon as possible. Lin Rui looked at her and said, "How about it? He still had a gun in his hand.

"Well, you can ask for anything you want. Please don't hurt me. The black girl shuddered.

"I never want to hurt anyone, although I do it often. Lin Rui shook his head, "I'll give you half an hour, wash your face, clean yourself, and then go out to inquire about the news." Don't ask any random questions, behave normally. We just need what you see. Then try to repeat it to us. ”

The black girl nodded reluctantly, and Lin Rui turned around and walked out of the room.

"You're making a bit of a big bet. Yelena whispered, "How can you be sure that she won't betray us?"

"Because of the hundred dollars. Do you notice the way she looks at the money? She knows very well that if she betrays us, the money will only go into the pockets of the government army. Lin Rui said slowly.

"So, you're putting our lives on this hundred dollars. So what's more?" said Yelena, looking at him.

"In fact, how to position your own value is very important. In her eyes, the lives of our people are only worth a hundred dollars. If the price is high, she won't believe it. Lin Rui turned his head.
