On the periphery of the camp of the Kobwa* armed forces, there were sentry posts everywhere. Some of them are shirtless, some barefoot, and some are barefoot, guarding various intersections. Their camp was a small, humble village surrounded by a few dilapidated shipping containers and a large row of oil drums.

Lin Rui knelt on the ground and raised his binoculars to observe the surrounding situation. From the looks of it, it is simply impossible for them to see where the hostages are kept. The whole camp was a mess and littered with garbage. There are also chickens and ducks running on the ground. Several black soldiers were smoking, and from what they looked like, they were still teenagers.

"Damn, it's a child soldier again. Lin Rui frowned.

In Africa, children are considered the most economical alternative to adult fighters in high-intensity armed conflicts. They are easily brainwashed. And since the concept of death has not yet been formed, they can become highly effective fighters. As a result, child soldiers have been present in a large number of African civil wars.

The Congolese civil war is also a hard-hit area for child soldiers. In Congo, most of the Scout soldiers have been brainwashed into seeing atrocities as child's play and massacres as the norm. To overcome the fears of child soldiers on the battlefield, warlords of armed factions also force children to take narcotic drugs, alcohol and stimulants to embolden them. Many child soldiers were sent to carry out the most dangerous tasks such as charging, clearing mines, and spying on military intelligence, and many child soldiers died in the war.

On 6 February 2007, representatives from 58 countries signed the Paris Commitment, pledging to do everything possible to stop the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Despite the fact that the use of child soldiers is a violation of the laws of war, children are still forcibly recruited in more than 30 areas of intense armed conflict around the world.

Especially in places like Africa, where there are often warlords, there are underage child soldiers.

Lin Rui didn't like this situation of being forced to go to war with a group of children. He can't slaughter these skinny monkey-like African children, but they don't have the same compassion as you when the war starts, and they won't hesitate to shoot at you.

Crazy Horse also whispered, "There are also quite a few children on the flanks who are serving as guards, and some of them don't look like they're even ten years old. Cobwa, a damn bastard, he'd better not fall into my hands. What do we do now?"

"Frontal assaults are obviously not going to work, they don't have the effect of raids at all, they will use those ignorant children to help them do their lives, and they themselves will hide behind. In just a few minutes, the advantage of our raid will be diminished. Even if we rush in, they will run away with the hostages, or they will directly hurt the hostages. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"But what else can we do?" Sergei frowned, "Boss, this is not the time for compassion to overflow. These kids have real weapons in their hands. Sympathizing with them would cost you your life. You know our rules, whoever holds a weapon is an enemy except for allies. ”

Shogishi shook his head and said, "I see what you mean, Sergei. But the situation now is that even if I rush out now, I will kill all this little bastard in one fell swoop. The other soldiers in the camp will also rush out to resist, so that even if we force our way in, we may not be able to rescue the hostages. And can you really kill an eleven or twelve-year-old?"

Sergei was silent.

Lin Rui thought about it, and suddenly handed the gun in his hand to Jiang An. "You are all waiting here, doing what I command, and I will go and meet this Kobwa myself. ”

"You're going alone, it's not okay!" Shogan shook his head, "Kobwa's man is emotionally unstable. You can shoot someone at any time because you don't say the right thing. If you go like this, you may not even see his face, and you will be shot by his order. ”

"I'm not going alone, I'm going to take him with me, the arms supplier. Lin Rui turned to look at Marsheld.

Marschel hurriedly said, "As I said, even now I don't see him every time. He is no longer the same as before, and in the past, in order to ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition, he had to pat me on the back. But now that he is powerful, the situation has been completely reversed. A lot of times he didn't see me directly, he just let his men talk to me. ”

"He'll meet you. Lin Rui nodded. "Because you have to inform him that from the next month onwards the price of your arms will increase by fifty percent. ”

"Ah?!!" said Marschelde, surprised, "it would infuriate him completely." Listen to me, friend, it's not a good idea to provoke him. The last guy who dared to bargain with him was hanged there. ”

"It's okay, you can say it's my idea, as long as it allows me to talk to him face to face. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "I promise you'll be fine." ”

Marshld looked at him with a look of embarrassment, "This really doesn't work......"

Marshheld's knowledge would make everyone know that he was in league with the mercenaries. Even if he killed Cobwa, he wouldn't want to do business in this area. I'm sorry, but I'm not here to consult, but to order. So you have to go. Lin Rui shook his head and said.

Marschel stopped in despair.

Lin Rui pushed Marskjold into a car, and then drove forward to avoid the camp. "Don't expect to run away. Cooperate with me, and maybe there's a chance of survival, if you're going to escape. You know what the end will be. Lin Rui looked at him while driving.

A few soldiers in front saw their car and waved them to stop, but they saw Marschel and clearly let their guard down. Because Marshalld is a regular here.

"Mr. Marschel. The soldiers nodded.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to see Cobwa, and right now, I have something very important to talk to him. Marskjöld said in a deep voice.

"Of course, but who is he?" the soldier said as he looked at Lin Rui.

"My new driver, when did you see me driving by myself?" said Marschel.

"Okay, please come here. The soldier motioned for the two companions to move the barricade and let their off-road vehicle pass.

Lin Rui nodded with a smile as he started the car and drove inside. "I can't see it, you're still in a hurry. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"I don't dare to be, I just want to be able to save this life. I'll do exactly what you say. However, what will happen when the time comes, is beyond my control. Marshld whispered.

"Do what you have to do and we'll take care of the rest. Lin Rui glanced at him. Their car was stopped again at the entrance to the camp. A group of black child soldiers came over with weapons in their hands, all gray and scruffy, but each with a weapon in his hand.
