Africa's dry climate makes the dust a little choking. Lin Rui and the others did not take the main road, but chose the nearest desert to cross all the way through. The uneven desert made their dozens of broken trucks bump all the way, and many of the people in the cars almost vomited.

The pungent dust, the smell of vomit, the smell of blood after being wounded, spread in the car. And just like that, the vehicles were not enough to transport them all to ride. Only some people can go first by car, and those behind walk behind. Wait for the convoy in front to send people to the designated location, and then come back to pick up the people behind, and alternate. And the distance should not be too different, lest some people will not be able to rescue after encountering the enemy. The spacing should not be too small, so that it will not have the effect of long-distance leap.

However, this is already the best compromise they can come up with. Fortunately, these African soldiers can't do anything else, but they can really run, don't look like they're as thin as monkeys, but they have physical endurance. On the one hand, it has to do with their natural physique and tradition.

Lin Rui once saw a hunter from an African tribe hunting an antelope. The strange thing is that the antelope stood there motionless, and the black buddy behind calmly drew his spear and javelin and hunted. After being shot through by a javelin, the antelope does not run. Later, I found out that the black hunter had been chasing him for a whole day, and when he hunted, the antelope was actually completely unable to run.

This also shows that these black people born and raised in Africa are almost all good runners.

The car shook and stopped. Lin Rui looked at the GPS and turned around and said, "What's the matter, we haven't arrived at the predetermined location yet." Why stop here?"

Peng Lefeng said in a low voice, "It's Cobain's arrangement, our front team must stay here for half an hour to avoid us crashing into the troops in Redstone Town. We have to stagger with them. So take advantage of this break and let the convoy go back to pick up the brethren behind. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, let everyone get out of the car." Getting the vehicle back, we take a break and move on. We were very short on time. ”

"I see, I'll bring the brothers from behind. Peng Lefeng nodded.

Everyone moved their hands and feet, and I knew that the brothers were tired, but they could not sleep. "We still have a lot of things to do, we have to stay awake." Get up, and we continue on our way. ”

Lin Rui said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"These soldiers are too tired. "We can't let them sleep, once they do, the morale that has been aroused by the battles just now will drop to the bottom." ”

"Then don't let them sleep, and order them all to get out of the car and walk forward. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "If you drive, you may encounter enemy troops, but on foot, you can stagger their marching routes. Everyone got up and kept walking. ”

Shogishi nodded and ordered to continue walking. The mercenaries and government forces were exhausted, but they continued to advance in the darkness of the night.

"Tell them to just get there on time. We'll rest for half an hour outside Redstone. But now they have to keep going for me. Lin Rui said loudly.

As the night deepened, the excitement of winning the battle had long since passed, and everyone began to turn from fatigue to deep fatigue.

After 2 a.m., sleepiness was like layers of waves rushing towards everyone. The team walked and walked, and suddenly there was silence. Some people didn't know when they started to walk from the line on the side of the road to the middle of the road, and when someone else appeared, they went up to wake him up, and he realized that he had actually walked so far away from the main army. When people are extremely tired, it turns out that they can really sleep while walking.

The long hike not only caused blisters on many people's feet, but also several from the soles of their feet to their heels. The shoulders had already been strangled red by the backpack, revealing bloodshots. The biggest problem is not these, but the blood red of many people's inner thighs, the back of their buttocks is also rubbed off, and every step is faintly painful. A real long march is not only about grinding your feet, but also about your crotch, and this time these African buddies have personally confirmed this.

Many people feel that they can't hold on anymore, and the mercenaries such as Jiang'an still have to do some coordination, so that those with better physical strength can share some of the weight in their bags for their comrades who really can't hold on, hold each other's hands, and pull forward.

The lead-filled legs continued to walk, and what was worse was that the team in front of them suddenly became more rhythmic when they turned downhill, and it took more effort to keep up. No one knows if they've reached their limits. Even the automatic rifle plus the backpack has a total of more than 20 kilograms of weight on the shoulders, and no matter how high the chest is, the person who is out of the box has now been pressed to 9o degrees by the bag, and it seems that another straw can crush the body.

Some people have blood-red eyes, sleepiness and fatigue, and it seems that if they have a little more, they can't open their eyes. At this time, Lin Rui looked up at his watch, and the map that was getting closer and closer gave everyone the courage to grit their teeth and stick to the last paragraph. Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and their physical strength will be exhausted, and the rest is supported by their will.

The extensive use of troop carriers and helicopters has made such long-distance marches on foot rarely used in modern warfare. Even in Africa, where conditions are extremely poor, these government forces have not experienced such a feeling.

Lin Rui turned around and whispered, "How long has Peng Lefeng been gone?"

"It's been almost an hour, huh?" Shogishi gasped, "I should be back too." How long do we have to get to our destination?"

"The last eight kilometers. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Let everyone stop and wait for the convoy." If you run any further, these African buddies won't be able to hold on. ”

Jiang An smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hold it anymore." When it was announced that the move would be stopped, everyone was almost relieved. The torture of the middle of the night finally came to an end.

"Rest where you are, you can sit for a while, but don't lie down, don't sleep. Lin Rui said loudly, "If you want to live, keep me awake, you must be very sober." We only have one last stretch of the road left, and Redstone will be our final destination for the day. There will be the final decision whether we live or die. ”

He turned his head to look at the exhausted government soldiers and the mercenaries of the Black Isle Company, and whispered, "Remember what you're fighting for." Not for General Coffey, not for some other bullshit reason. It's about living, you know?"

"If it's to survive, why do we have to fight this battle, isn't it safer not to fight?" a soldier whispered.

Lin Rui smiled, "If you think so, then you can leave the team now." I promise not to shoot you in the name of a deserter, because you will be killed by the rebels anyway. The rebels have already been diverted by us, if we can't take Redstone in time. Then most of them will kill us all when they fight back against Redstone. We have no way back, only one way, and that is Redstone Town ahead. ”
