The road to the mining camp was difficult, but everyone was cautious, not just for fear of encountering armed men patrolling. Walking through this kind of jungle, in addition to guarding against all kinds of small insect bites and wild beast attacks, you must always be careful of the empty mud and mire scattered under your feet. Because of a lot of indiscriminate mining, there are potholes everywhere.

Some of them were covered with mud and mud, and they were not visible on the surface. But if you don't pay attention to stepping on it, you may be swallowed up silently. Therefore, the O2 players try to avoid being alone, press the front foot and the back foot in turn, and go around directly when they encounter a slightly soft grass. Walking around so cautiously, standing and stopping, until the sun was about to set, they saw that the forest in front of them became empty.

Zhao Bankuo heard the sound of running water, took two steps forward, and a river valley five or six meters wide was horizontally in front of him. The turbulent water washes over the vegetation on the shore, and the miscellaneous trees and rotten grass in the upper reaches are crowded into the riverbed, and a large number of traces can be seen that manual excavation is the main cause of the widening of the river.

Lin Rui glanced at Jiang An, Jiang An nodded, and handed him the electronic map in his hand. They don't have the river on their map, which means it's a seasonal river, or just formed over a period of six months. In the vicinity of the Congo River, where the water system is extremely developed, it is not uncommon for there to be an extra river during the rainy season. This also means that they are closer to the location of the camp.

Looking at the river, everyone was a little dumbfounded, and then they thought of a lot of ways, such as swimming over, but they were quickly rejected, and finally Sergei suggested: "Captain, shall we swim over?"

Lin Rui didn't answer, just frowned and looked at the river, not knowing what he was thinking. Sergei asked again, and then he shook his head silently: "No, there may be crocodiles here." ”

The Nile crocodile is a very scary animal, and many people are bitten in Africa every year, or die in the mouth of a crocodile. Therefore, in Africa, as long as it is near a river, there is almost no bathing, and even if you draw water, you will shoot a few shuttles into the water first. What's even more frightening is that the Nile crocodile does not only sneak up in the river, but can often come ashore to attack humans. In the river near this jungle, who knows how many vicious crocodiles there will be.

Jiang An, who had been silent, spoke at this time: "Lin Rui, at this current water speed, there will not be a large number of crocodile activities, even those things have been washed downstream, except for the puddle and grass pond on the shore, there may be one and a half in the puddle and grass pond on the shore, and there is no trace of these things on the shore in this area where we are standing." ”

This made sense, but Lin Rui didn't say anything, he didn't look like an adventure. Just waved his hand to signal everyone to follow a few steps, found a dry place, began to take out the map of Jiang'an to view, and then used the GPS locator to determine the coordinates.

Lin Rui showed an incredulous expression and said, "Strange, although it is not shown on this map, there is a trace of a village on the satellite map provided to us by Cobain. Going upstream along the river, there is a small village where there seems to be a bridge. ”

Jiang An was suddenly puzzled, in a place like this, it is possible that someone is building a bridge here? The others also showed a look of disbelief.

Sergei laughed: "It's unlikely, how can there be a bridge here?"

"What Cobain provided was the latest satellite image, and since this map shows that there is a bridge, it means that there must be. And the Secret Society is not these African militias, who got the diamonds from Cobwa, but they have to find a way to get them out. There's this river, do they come and go by helicopter? So let's go and see. Lin Rui looked at the map, and walked forward after speaking.

After walking less than a few miles along the river, the O2 team members knew that Lin Rui's guess was correct. It turns out that there really is a bridge. It is also a temporary bridge made of steel and wood. Looks like it's been a while. Traces of wheels can be seen under the bridge, and it is clear that someone once drove across the river.

Sergey looked at it for a long time and exclaimed: "It looks very professional, passing by trucks." ”

Jiang An's expression was rarely serious, and he said: "Very professional methods, this is the standard for the erection of the boat bridge troops. These Secret Society members are not ordinary people, it seems that the other party is quite numerous, and they have mechanical tools. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "Yes, this bridge was erected in a very short period of time. So it can't be found on the drawings updated half a year ago, but on the satellite images provided by Cobain. The bridge was erected and opened to traffic in one day. ”

However, after finding this bridge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, there is no need to risk crossing the river from the water, this kind of torrent-like water, wading directly into the water is equivalent to looking for death, not to mention hidden crocodiles and the like. As for the raft, although they can handle it, it is too much trouble to get ten people through the raft safely, cut down trees and make something.

As a scout, Crazy Horse walked to the tree bridge first, stepped on one foot first, and stepped on it hard. It was a steel frame and a thick timber frame, and he didn't move at all on it. After a try, it seemed that there was no problem with the tree bridge, and Crazy Horse stood up, turned around and gestured to everyone to cross the river.

But what he didn't expect was that almost at the same time, Lin Rui suddenly pulled him to the ground. "What?" said Crazy Horse with a frown.

Lin Rui made a gesture to him, and all the team members crouched in the grass.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the distance, as if someone was stepping on the grass, and the weeds rubbed against their trouser legs, making a "rustling" sound.

Lin Rui made a tactical gesture: Patrol.

The snake eyes crouched in the grass gestured back to him: one o'clock direction, a team of four, lightly armed, no backup. Already in range.

Lin Rui shook his head at him and motioned for him to let this patrol pass.

Snakeeye crouched down again, hiding himself completely in the grass. As a sniper, he is a master of disguise, just like Yelena. Know how to make full use of the camouflage uniform on your body and the light around you to make yourself better shaded.

The patrols of the Secret Society didn't seem to notice them. Two of them even leaned against the bridge and smoked a cigarette before continuing to walk inside.

Lin Rui lay silently in the grass and watched them leave.

"Boss, why don't we do it?" Sergei whispered. "We were able to deal with them just now, and we wouldn't alarm the others. ”

"Because it's more valuable to us to keep them. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "Kobwa said that there are minefields nearby, and following them will allow you to avoid all the danger zones. Because they know where the minefield is, they can't blow themselves up. ”

Shogishi also gave him a thumbs up.
