Lin Rui was in the temporary camp of the Black Island Company and took his first hot bath after entering Anmor. The hot water stinged at the wound, and the mercenaries groaned in comfort.

"It's like a bunch of masochistic bastards. Snakeeye shook his head.

"How are you?" said Lin Rui, wiping his head with a towel.

"It's bad, I've never tried to run for so long with a weapon of more than a dozen kilograms. I didn't feel anything at the time, and now I can barely lift one of my hands. Snakeeye shook his head.

Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder, "It's just temporary muscle fatigue." Recover, you're still the best sniper. ”

"The latest news. "Bring the shore in," the Orumi Federation has stated that it will intervene in the northern part of Ammore to control the expansion of the conflict and ensure that the northern oil exploitation area is not affected by the regional conflict. It seems that they are already planning to compromise. ”

"I won't believe a word. Lin Rui shook his head and said. "The Secret Society will not just forget it, at most it will only come to an end temporarily, and I don't want to offend a few big countries too hard. Moreover, it is a gesture made to avoid the intervention of the peacekeeping force. If they feel the need, they will still attack the northern oil production area, after all, it is their ambition. ”

"You're right. "But at least our first phase of mission was successful, and we protected the oil production area north of Ammor." So that the big oil companies did not withdraw from Ammore. And judging from the current situation, there is no possibility of a large-scale attack by the Secret Society. We have managed to attract the attention of the international community, and it is impossible for them to risk the attention of the big powers to continue to attack the oil-producing regions in the north. This mission is at least half the battle. ”

"What's next for the silver wolf? Lin Rui frowned.

"Not yet, the conflict in Amor is still ongoing, but the threat to the northern oil-producing regions has been minimized. We also have some respite and can strengthen our defenses in the oil-producing areas. You can stay here for a while. But security personnel from the major oil companies must also be stationed there in case of unforeseen circumstances. After all, none of us know what the next step will be. Black Panther Guray replied.

"So, we have a vacation?" Sergey said lazily.

"It can't be said to be a holiday, you won't be assigned a mission for the time being, but you can't leave here yet. It is necessary to wait for the situation to become clearer. I agree with Silver Wolf on this. "Black Panther Guredo. "In addition, your losses this time are quite large, and the personnel need to be strengthened. Silver Wolf means, let Rick be in charge. Some of our personnel were transferred to the O2 team for personnel replenishment. As for the candidates, it is up to you to decide. ”

Sergei laughed out loud and turned to Sausage and the others, "Do you hear me? rookies, you are finally no longer newcomers from now on." Because a batch of updates came. ”

Sausage clutched his injured leg and smiled wryly in embarrassment.

Lin Rui nodded and asked the Black Panther Gu Leidao, "How are our few seriously injured doing?"

"Unfortunately, most of them didn't make it through, including the guns. He was hemorrhagic due to the shock at the base of his skull, and his spleen was ruptured, and he was tenacious enough to hold on here. Black Panther Guray whispered.

The team members were silent, although they were all battle-hardened veterans, and many of them had already guessed this outcome based on the injuries of the guns, but hearing it with their own ears was another matter. Crazy Horse punches hard against the wall, and the gun is injured trying to cover him, which makes Crazy Horse feel guilty all the time. The other person who is the saddest is Rose, who and Guncannon are both members of the former Israeli Wild Boy Special Forces. From being in the army to being a mercenary, and finally joining the Black Island Company, the two of them have never been separated, and they are comrades-in-arms who are like brothers.

In this operation, the personnel of Groups A and B lost a total of more than 20 people, including core team members such as Guns. This made Lin Rui's heart feel as uncomfortable as if he was blocked. Guns and Roses were also recruited by him personally. He raised his head and said, "What about their future?"

"The company will take care of the aftermath and will also send their ashes and compensation to their families. Black Panther Guray said in a low voice, "There are twenty-seven brothers in total, and we will officially see them off the day after tomorrow." ”

Lin Rui nodded.

Under the scorching African sun, twenty-seven pairs of fallen mercenaries sat side by side, their rifles stuck upside down and their helmets buckled to their butts. Lin Rui and the others said their final goodbyes to these mercenaries who died in battle.

The boots were covered in dust, the guns were still cold, and several of the Kevlar helmets were tattered and bloodstained.

"Today we bid farewell to the twenty-seven brothers who are no longer with us, but who still live on in our memories. They were our comrades-in-arms, our brothers. It is the person we are most willing to choose to believe in the rain of bullets, and it is our most solid backing at any time. They are the best fighters, and they are also the ones we can trust. Their loss is sad and a reminder of the fragility of life. With respect for them, continue the journey. until we meet together in the kingdom of heaven. The Black Panther Guray said slowly in a deep voice.

Lin Rui looked at the metal cans in silence, and his heart ached. But he also understands that this is the fate of mercenaries. The crockpot will not be broken from the well, and the hound will eventually be mourned on the mountain. By the time they chose this path, the outcome was already predestined. It's the same for everyone, just sooner or later. Maybe one day, he will die too, burn it and put it in a container. The only difference is that even if someone takes him back to China, they don't know who they will give it to. He has no relatives left.

The O2 mercenaries watched as the urns were carried away, silent as if they had died once. Even Sergei, who had always chattered, was rarely silent.

"Goodbye. Crazy Horse held the urn of the gun in his hand, and finally couldn't help but turn and run away. He didn't want to shed tears in front of other people, but he couldn't help it.

"Let him go. He needs to calm down. Shogishi grabbed Sandro by the hand and shook his head, preventing him from going to see Crazy Horse.

"There's only so much I can do for them. The panther Guray walked back and whispered.

"It's already pretty good. We don't usually hold such commemorative ceremonies. What I'm saying is true, you're a good talker, and maybe one day you can change your career to become a chaplain. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "It's just that if I die one day." I would have liked to leave quietly. Maybe I'm a fragile person who can't stand such a separation. Whether it's to anyone else, or someone else to me. He turned around and took a cigarette away, but it took him a few times to light the fire.
