Lin Rui and the others had already continued to march westward, and they had crossed several small towns on the brink of war, and there was no danger of being caught up for the time being. 2.

Despite leaving the devastated city of Duleta, there is also a criminal atmosphere of war in several of the smaller cities here. The city they passed through looked grey and untidy, with roads and buildings virtually unmaintained.

In order to prevent the attack of the ** army, the streets are dark at night, and most of the shops are very dilapidated and almost empty. The war has led to a severe shortage of supplies, a shortage of all kinds and, more seriously, a shortage of food.

In times of such war, the queues of people who buy food are often hundreds of meters long. Despite this, people are still hungry. Because of the war, medical and food supplies from humanitarian relief organizations could not be brought in. This has made it even worse for this country, which has relied on the United Nations WFP to allocate food aid for many years. The only meat here is bush meat, which is ridiculously expensive.

"Jungle meat" refers to the meat of wild animals such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and mountain boars that live in the jungle. Most of them were burned black with fire, emitting a foul smell and carrying various germs.

After such a long career as a mercenary, Lin Rui was quite sloppy about food. But even if he was on a hunger strike, he wouldn't touch these things. The hundreds of them looked like demons from hell, and everyone avoided them, including the scattered government soldiers.

They were covered in dried mud and blood, all loaded with guns, and their eyes were alert, and no one wanted to mess with such a group of people.

"Come here. Lin Rui grabbed a government soldier and shouted in a deep voice, "Don't run!"

The government soldier stopped in embarrassment, and several of his companions stood there helplessly.

"I'll talk to them. "The black lieutenant came over.

"Okay, over to you. Lin Rui nodded.

The black lieutenant frowned, "Who is your commander, and how many government troops are stationed here?"

"Our commander should be Lieutenant Gru. The soldier said timidly, "Who are you?"

"I'm from the garrison of Leta, and I only broke through yesterday. These gentlemen need vehicles, do you have vehicles here?" said the black lieutenant with a frown.

"There were a few cars, but the animals that drove them died. The soldier whispered.

"What the? Are you kidding?" said Ah Hu angrily.

"He's talking about donkey carts, and other vehicles were requisitioned by government forces before the war began. Forget it, let's keep walking, there's a bigger city ahead. Maybe we can try our luck there. ”

"Sir, where are you going, are you going north?" the black soldier whispered.

"It's a military secret, kid!" Shogishi patted the black soldier and turned his head, "Boss, what do you think?"

Lin Rui looked at the brothers behind him and said in a low voice, "Even if we have to leave, we have to fill our stomachs first." Otherwise, can you walk?"

"But the food supply is tight all over the city. Peng Lefeng frowned.

"No, then look for it, but I'm not going to rob those people of their life-saving food. Lin Rui turned his head to look at the black civilians lining up in the distance. They were lining up to receive the ration of food, mainly a little corn.

He turned to the black soldier and said, "Take us to meet your ...... What's his name Lieutenant?"

"Lieutenant Gru. The young black soldier replied.

"Whatever lieutenant he is, take us over to meet them anyway. Lin Rui looked at the black soldier and said. The black soldier looked at the mud-covered man with some trepidation, and could only nod in agreement.

Lin Rui put the gun on his back, and then followed the black soldier and strode towards their barracks.

"Boss, you don't want to rob the government army, do you?" Ah Hu said in a low voice, "There are quite a few of them. ”

"Damn, what if we robbed it? We helped General Coffey with our lives, but it ended up like this. What do they care about our meal? The emperor doesn't have a hungry soldier. This dog warlord!" Peng Le is still so angry.

"Forget it, don't be so angry. Others are Lords, we are guests. Lin Rui shrugged, "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." Although Coffey is a dog warlord who does not do things properly, he also tries not to clash with these government forces. If they know each other, we'll grab supplies and leave. Even if we don't have a car, we can go to the next city. ”

"Well, you're the boss. Peng Lefeng nodded.

Lin Rui looked at the black lieutenant, "Now that you are safe, you can take your people back to the government army." It's not a good thing to follow me again, I don't want to bother you. ”

"You don't really want to loot government supplies, do you?" said the black lieutenant.

"I just borrowed it calmly, and of course, if I couldn't borrow it, I couldn't let the brothers starve to death. Lin Rui shrugged.

"Leave it to me, I might be able to negotiate with them. Let them give us a little supply. The black lieutenant whispered.

Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "This matter doesn't matter to us, but you may be in trouble." ”

"I just don't want you guys to make a big deal out of it. The black lieutenant whispered, "So, I'll do it, there's no need to make it unpleasant." ”

"All right, Lieutenant. What's your name? I heard your name say yesterday, but it was too messy for me to remember. Lin Rui narrowed his eyes and said.

"Fei Jie. Leta Garrison, Infantry Lieutenant. The black man replied, "I was trained as an officer in the Ammor Training Camp, and I received military training from the Black Island Company. ”

"So it's still my apprentice. Peng Lefeng shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly.

"No, you're in charge of three or four sessions of training. At that time, the person in charge of our first training was Director Zhao Jianfei. The black lieutenant whispered.

"Yo, so it's still my senior brother?" Peng Lefeng said with a grin.

"Yes, so I don't want any unpleasantness between you and the government forces. I know about yesterday's mission, and everyone was in a bad mood. It felt like we were abandoned, and even me and my people were very disappointed in General Coffey. But I still have a lot of respect for you, you are the best soldiers I have ever met.

I don't want you to get in trouble, and I want to be able to get you out of the border safely. Maybe one day, we'll see you again. The black lieutenant nodded and said in somewhat stiff Chinese, "We, yes, brothers." ”

Peng Lefeng also stretched out his fist and touched him, "Okay, black brother." ”
