"Okay, let's go up and have a look. Lin Rui picked up the gun, bent down and slowly walked out of the reed beach, and walked over to the front guarded.

It is supposed to be an African village, and like most of the villages along the river, the people here make a living by raising livestock, farming, fishing, and straw weaving. A large amount of reeds were used for the houses and fences in the village. It should be a small village, but you can't hear a single human voice. Lin Rui approached the village vigilantly, and his face suddenly became ugly.

There was hardly a single living person in the village, and the bodies of several black villagers lay on the ground. It was evident that they had been attacked suddenly while eating, and there was spilled food on the ground, a red beetroot endemic to Africa, and some fish.

Near the river, there were more corpses, men, women and children, and the village was slaughtered. This bloody scene made people like Lin Rui, who were used to seeing blood, a little unbearable. He was not afraid of corpses, much less blood. But when he saw unarmed women and children, lying in the middle of a barrage of gunfire, it still made his stomach twitch.

The corpses were still fresh, because in such a hot weather, no maggots had been born. There is a good chance that they will die in a day, or even less than ten hours. Entire villages, including the elderly, women and children, were slaughtered.

Picking up a bullet case from the ground, Lin Rui took a deep breath, put down the pistol, and walked back.

"How?" said Sergei, who was waiting in the reed beach, in a low voice.

"In front is a village. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "There are probably dozens of families, all of which were shot." Regardless of men, women, young and old, the whole village, maybe this child is left. ”

"Damn. Sergei's face changed slightly, "Did the Secret Society do it?"

Lin Rui nodded, and gave Sergei the bullet casings he picked up at the scene, "Caliber bullets, African tribal armed forces don't use much." I think maybe we've hurt the village. The secret society set up an ambush on the bridge, fearing that the surrounding villagers would leak the news. So they went on a killing spree and cleaned up the nearby village. ”

"But why? We have no contact with these villagers! Why did they do this?" Sergei said angrily.

"Because this village is full of fishermen, they live on the river, and they go around fishing in boats. The Order's people feared that their plan to set up an ambush on the bridge would be revealed by the villagers. So, they ...... Slaughter the village......" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"Damn, these bastards are damned!" Sergei was furious. Although he is a thief, he can't see this the most. Because he was an orphan since he was a child, sleeping in garbage heaps, abandoned subway stations, and stealing for a living. Seeing this black child who suddenly lost all his loved ones, and his frightened and panicked gaze,. Sergei suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and it had been stabbed in the softest place of his heart.

Sergei stood up, pulled the bolt suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to kill them." ”

"If you go like this, they will kill you. Lin Rui put one hand on his arm and said in a deep voice, "I'm just as angry as you. Of all the bloodshed and corpses I've seen since I became a mercenary, none of them have made me feel terrified and angry. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that someone else will die because of me, and I'm a completely irrelevant person who will die because of me. ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's go kill those guys, they're not warriors, they're damned murderers. Sergey said loudly.

"So are we!" Lin Rui grabbed his wrist and said in a deep voice. "Believe me, I want to kill the Order's executioners more than you do. Because it would make me feel better, I avenged them, as if it had nothing to do with us. But in reality, that's just self-soothing. These people are dead, and we can't do anything to bring them back to life!"

Sergei sat down a little dejectedly, bowed his head and said, "But they shouldn't do this, these villagers are innocent." They really deserve hell. ”

"This is war, and in itself it is the ugliest and most brutal act of mankind. Lin Rui shook his head and said. "We're all going to hell, but we can send them down first. The premise is that we have plans and execute them calmly and calmly, without being swayed by emotions. Got it, now take a deep breath and get your mood back. Then, we got into action. ”

Sergei took a deep breath and nodded, he turned to look at the kid and whispered, "What is he going to do?"

"He's strong, he's smart, he knows how to hide himself. So he doesn't need us to worry, what we need to worry about is ourselves. Lin Rui patted Sergei on the shoulder, "People have their own destinies, we have ours, and he has his." ”

"A man like him might die. Sergei whispered.

"You're enough!" Lin Rui grabbed him and whispered, "Don't let these things disturb your emotions." We were out to scout, we had responsibilities and tasks on our shoulders, and behind us were the other brothers in Group A. Do you want to mess up with this unexpected incident? Wake up man, I need a clear-headed scout. If you don't think you can't, go back now and stay with the rest of the team. Don't get in the way of me, understand?"

"But......" Sergei said again.

"No, stay focused at all times to get the job done and stay alive. Lin Rui pushed him away and said in a low voice, "I'll go to the front now, and if you think about it, you can follow." If you don't figure it out, continue to figure out what you should be doing here. ”

Lin Rui continued to move forward with his gun, and in order to stay deep in the reeds, he stepped on the water that was not up to his ankles. In fact, the scene of the slaughter village he had just seen made him feel greatly shocked, but he was still as firm as a piece of steel. Because he knew he had to. It's not that he doesn't want to rush out and fight with the members of the Secret Society, to vent this sullen breath in his heart.

But it's not in the team's interest to do so, and he can't rely on his own momentary likes and dislikes to pull the whole team into trouble. He's the captain and he has to take on more at times like this. No matter how guilty he is, the rule of 2 is team first. He forced himself to have a cruel heart, and only in this way could he fit this cruel world.

Sergei followed behind him, and Lin Rui and he walked out for nearly a kilometer, and they could already faintly peek into the bridge in front of them through the cracks in the reeds of the river beach. Lin Rui gently brushed aside the reeds and observed the scene in the distance with a telescope. On the surface, he didn't find any ambushes, but he knew that the people of the Order must be in the vicinity.
