Chapter 1354: Reed Beach
"Well, the only question, what about this person?" Sandro pointed to Alexei in the car. "What you're talking about requires good mobility, and we can't do it with this wounded. ”
"But we have to take him, it's the task. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "The first rule of mercenaries is that the task is first. Although I often talk about tasks, I still do the work that needs to be done. ”
"That's right, although this line of food is unpalatable, it still has to be eaten. Crazy Horse smiled and said, "I'll take care of getting him across the river safely." ”
"Get in the car and drive to the reed bank by the river and hide. Lin Rui commanded loudly.
"But the car won't run. Park Dong-sang waved the wrench in his hand.
"Then hang the rope on the car in front of you, drive in a towed way, and when you reach the river, push the reeds, and then take cover, and try not to let the pursuers behind us find our tracks." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it. Park Dong-sang shook his head, quickly turned around and got into the car with his kit. Sergey took a leash and hung the car in front of him. Ten minutes later, they drove into the dense reeds along the river beach, and covered them with camouflage nets and reeds.
These guys are veterans of this, and they've done a great job of covering. As long as the enemy does not burrow into the reeds and search carefully, they will not find a few camouflaged Humvees hidden inside.
"With enough ammunition and supplies, we must swim across the river. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Crazy Horse bring the wounded to follow me." Unbuttoning his collar and turning his trouser pockets, he rolled the sleeves and trouser legs neatly into place on his upper arms and thighs, adjusting them as tightly as possible or too loose. Equipment such as bullet bags, grenades, water bottles, and hanging bags should be properly organized and tied tightly, and the gun should be put on the back.
In fact, these preparations are also exquisite, this is to ensure that the weight of various items is evenly distributed on the body, to avoid concentrating on the lower half of the body, so that the lower limbs sink when swimming, increasing resistance, laborious and affecting the speed, if concentrated in the upper part of the body, it will cause breathing difficulties. Swimming is also generally done in the form of breaststroke or side stroke, which is mainly conducive to maintaining body balance, observing the movement of the water surface, and making the swimming sound small.
Several people went into the water one after another, and Crazy Horse was a little heavier than the others, because he also had to carry the injured Alexei.
"Damn it, I hate African pools so much......" Alexei said with a wry smile.
"Don't move, Russian, try to relax yourself and let yourself levitate. Unless you want to kill yourself, or you think this filthy pool is scarier than the bullets of the militants. Crazy Horse whispered as he swam forward with Alexei in his arms.
"I love the water, it's often cow dung or something dirty, but at least it's natural. There is not so much heavy metal pollution, messy industrial toxins. By the way, how does that beauty feel swimming in cow dung?" Lin Rui turned his head and laughed softly.
"Shut up!" Yelena said hatefully.
"Okay, okay. Lin Rui swam around vigilantly as he swam.
"Looks like we're safe. Swimming to a piece of reeds on the other side of the river, he opened the waterproof bag, took out the locator and communication device from it, and said in a low voice, "Lin Rui, judging from the satellite positioning, we are still more than four kilometers away from the bridge." Have you really decided to risk approaching them?"
"Of course. We have swam across the river, but the current situation is not good. We can't go much further without vehicles. And we're still in South Sudan, and it's impossible for the Americans to intervene in the rescue. So we have to approach them, even if it's risky. What time is it?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"Four o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"Three hours at most, the sun will set, and then that's our chance. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "What about Sergei?"
"Here, Boss. Sergei waded through the water and walked over.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Actuary, you are responsible for leading the team to rest in the reed beach. Sergei and I went to find out. ”
"Just the two of you?" Yelena whispered.
"The smaller the target, the safer. Lin Rui nodded and said, "You guys are hiding here, Sergei and I touched it from the river, these reeds can give us good cover." If we find that the front is safe, we will send you a coordinate signal, and you will follow us. Got it?"
Shokishi nodded, "Okay." Then you stay safe. ”
Lin Rui put the gun on his back, turned around and continued to advance along the reed bank with Sergei on the river beach. On the banks of the African River, overgrown with reeds, the scenery is not bad. In the past few days, the river has probably risen due to the rain upstream, and the river water has turned into a yellow soup. It is also because the reeds here grow fairly well just after the rainy season, which can provide them with proper shelter.
"Shhhhh Sergei knew that Lin Rui had encountered a situation, so he left and slowly squatted down and took out a weapon from behind. He is very experienced and knows that it is easy to be exposed when moving around in the reed flats, so he tries to be as gentle as possible.
Lin Rui slowly touched forward, suddenly lunged forward, and held down a person, the black dagger pressed against the person's throat, but it did not stab down. He found out that he was just a black teenager, probably fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was very frightened by Lin Rui.
"It's okay. Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, put away the dagger, patted the child, smiled and whispered, "Let's go, don't tell people that you have met us?"
The black boy refused to leave, stubbornly squatted among the reeds, and kept saying something in the African native language that Lin Rui didn't understand, although he couldn't understand it, but he could see that the child was frightened, and he spoke quickly and kept gasping. He was shirtless and wearing a pair of shorts with tattered open-toe sneakers on his feet, presumably a local.
"What is he talking about?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I don't understand either. Sergei said strangely, "He seems to want your gun." ”
"What are you kidding, you might as well just say he wants my life. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"No......," Sergei said, gesturing, "he seems to say that something is going on there." Why don't we go over and have a look?"
Lin Rui frowned and said, "You're crazy, the people from the Secret Society are nearby." There's a good chance we'll be found out if we go out. ”
"But he seems to be telling us something, and besides, we're out to reconnoitre, so we have to figure out what's going on ahead?" Sergei frowned.
