The shootout had already terrified the residents of this dilapidated town, and those who could escape fled to their homes, and the streets were empty. Lin Rui leaned on the Humvee, smoked a cigarette, and carefully sorted out his thoughts. Now they are trapped in an unfamiliar territory where the enemy's situation is unknown, and because they deliberately cut off communication with the headquarters, they have lost strong external support like Cobain.

In this case he can no longer make mistakes, because any mistake will lead to a delay in the pursuit time. Ultimately, this delay can lead to the complete failure of the mission. It was already the third hour since Alexei had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it was getting dark.

If it drags on any longer, it means that they will have to waste an extra night, because they will not be able to track it properly during the night. However, the people of the Secret Order can run normally overnight. So if you can't find clues about Alexei and the Order before sunset, then there is a good chance that the mission will fail.

This is also why Lin Rui went against the norm and let Crazy Horse resort to the most cruel means of coercing confessions. Because the Secret Society can afford to spend time, they can't.

Lin Rui didn't finish one cigarette. Crazy Horse has returned," he had recruited, in another town thirty kilometers away. This is just a temporary outpost of the Secret Society, and it is a secret concentration of the Secret Society. Both the fake doctor and Alexei came, and they changed to other cars here before leaving. ”

Sergei also walked out of the room and said to Lin Rui, "I have checked all the rooms and found no other useful clues, except for this." He handed Lin Rui a medical gown.

"It's from the fake doctor, they've been here. There were also some bloody gauze that did not have time to be burned, which should have been Alexei's. The reason why they changed cars here was that Alexei couldn't stand too many bumps. His wound was ruptured, leaving a lot of blood. Here they retreated his wound and took him back on the road. Sergey replied.

"Retreat the wound and re-disinfect and bandage. This process should take about half an hour. In addition, because of Alexei's injury, they won't drive too fast," Lin Rui nodded, "That's it." It's good for us. At least Alexei played the role of delaying them. Assemble the team. We continued on our way, aiming for the town thirty kilometers away. ”

"Got it, boss!" Sergey jumped into the car and started. The other O2 team members also began to wait for the car, following the car in front of them very quickly. Red soil, soot, gunpowder, in the face of the war purge, this town has no ability to resist. Under the low eaves, the local black residents did not dare to come out until the mercenaries roared away.

In the car, Lin Rui began to feel a little hungry, the strenuous exercise just now was a very physically exhausting thing. Fortunately, there were some individual rations and drinking water in the car. Although Lin Rui hated this kind of US military food, he still ate it seriously when he had no choice. Because if you eat seriously, you can live seriously.

Others also took advantage of this break to replenish their cars with a little food and water.

"Crazy Horse, how is that guy?" Lin Rui turned his head and asked Crazy Horse.

"Not dead, but he wanted to die. Crazy Horse whispered, "According to him, that town is a meeting place for the Secret Society, and there are at least forty or fifty people. Can we handle it?"

"More people, we've coped with it. Lin Rui shrugged, "As long as you are careful and don't relax at any time, we can handle it." And we, as the attackers, have a big advantage. It's getting dark, too, and we have night vision devices. ”

"Okay. But I still feel a little uncertain. You know I'm not scared, I'm just a little bit uneasy. Crazy Horse whispered.

"Yes, I understand. But you know, I'm leading the team. There are a lot of times, even if I don't know the bottom of my heart, I have to persevere. Otherwise, it will hurt the whole team. Damn, it's too much pressure. Lin Rui finished the food, and he threw the wrapping paper out of the window. What he really wanted to throw away was the pressure that belonged to him. But he also knew that he couldn't get rid of it at all.

When a squad is relying on you, some responsibilities seem to be innate and cannot be thrown off. Anyone can be a leader, but not everyone can do a good job in the role of leader. Because as a leader, you have more responsibilities and more pressure.

Lin Rui lowered his head silently, sorting out his weapons and equipment. He used to carry three magazines, a hundred rounds was a suitable amount for him, less was not enough, more was meaningless.

Jiang An opened the tactical tablet beside him and said in a low voice, "This time we don't have network support, and everything needs to be more precisely coordinated." Here is a floor plan of the town. As you can see, most of the housing facilities are abandoned. This was originally an abandoned town.

The Order's armed forces used the abandoned town as a cover, setting up roadblocks here and here, making it difficult for all vehicles to escape their surveillance. We couldn't risk driving too close to the target, we had to abandon the vehicle a few kilometers outside the town and approach them on foot. ”

"That's right, the locals don't go to that town, so those two checkpoints are key. They control the road to the town. It's a very useful location, connected to the border road. They can calmly withdraw from the border at any time. And the Secret Society just said that they had a very tight defense there. Crazy Horse nodded.

"Are there only two roads?" Lin Rui said as he looked at the map.

"There are only two. Crazy Horse nodded.

"What about this location?" Lin Rui pointed to the enlarged electronic map.

Crazy Horse looked at it, "Now shortly after the rainy season is over, that area is simply impassable because it's a swamp. ”

"How can there be a swamp here?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Originally, this was an old industrial area, because there were oil and gas resources nearby, and the long-term overexploitation has caused the surface to subside, so it has become a swamp. You wouldn't want to pass through here after the rainy season, I've seen African elephants drowning in the swamp mud, struggling to make it and dying inside. Crazy Horse shook his head.

"We can't think of it, and neither can the enemy. When we got off the bus, we walked through the swamp. This is the only area covered by vegetation, and the nearby bushes are overgrown. Can give us the best cover. Lin Rui looked at the map and said.
