Chapter 1874: Hidden Camp
On a morning when it was just dawn, the car of Lin Rui and others stopped outside a completely unknown town. (8) 8 (8) 1 (1) z (medium) (text)
"This is it. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"Cookies. Lin Rui turned his head and beckoned, "You go ahead, if someone asks, just say that we are just passing by." ”
Biscuit nodded, and took Lin Rui and the others into the town together. In fact, it is a town, and there are only a few hundred families in it at most. They don't have many high roads that go straight into the sky, more of dilapidated paths.
However, these roads pass through villages, through fields, across deserts and barren hills. On both sides of the road were camels, horses, donkeys, eagles, chickens and ducks, and people fished in the river, tended sheep in the desert, and sat idly by the roadside. You just hitchhike and sit behind the hood of a big truck and watch the sun set and the moon rise. There are wars, but most of them are still good citizens who keep to themselves, and strive for a peaceful existence.
There is a vast starry sky, the confluence of the Nile River, the splendid Gobi, and quiet small villages, but also the simple life of the simple people here. Although the war is not far away, it is like another world, where everyone is living their lives as if it were a war that has nothing to do with them. The thatched huts are also the main living quarters of the residents.
As he walked, he whispered, "Be careful, something doesn't seem right here." ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"In every town in South Sudan, there are children and women with heavy loads on their heads. But there doesn't seem to be any of these things here. Jiang Jian said in a low voice. "That's a bit of an anomaly. ”
"Unless someone comes from the town to make people feel that women and children are in danger when they come out. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "What do you say?"
On the way they met a black man who was driving sheep, and Biscuit came up to him to say a few words, but the man quickly shook his head and walked away, as if he did not dare to say more. Biscuit walked back and whispered to them, "The locals won't say anything." But I sensed that the more they didn't speak, the more dangerous it seemed here. ”
Lin Rui nodded and said in a low voice, "Keep walking, don't bow your head into the town, pass by." ”
Biscuit's heart moved, and while walking according to Lin Rui's instructions, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Behind us on the left, someone was watching us. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"How do you know?" said Cookie in a low voice.
"I just squinted from pretending to look at my watch, and there were at least two people there staring at us again. We're going to have to change our plans, and if we want to go straight into town, we won't be able to. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"And the ones you didn't notice. Jiang An said in a low voice, "These are all dirt roads, and the wheel prints on the ground are not pressed by these villagers' donkey carts." ”
"Where do you think they will hide?" Lin Rui pretended not to care as he walked aisle.
"I think it's to the east, and it's very likely that this town is just a guard outpost. There is no way they could have hid in such an obvious place. Jiang Jian said in a low voice. "In order to prevent being revealed, let's leave first. A couple of people made a big circle and went back to where they had parked outside the town.
"How's it going?" Snake-Eyes asked them in a low voice.
"We didn't go in at all, because as soon as we got there, someone was watching us. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "I think it should just be an outpost, and the location of the Secret Society's armed forces should be somewhere else." ”
"Are you sure?" Sergei frowned, "you didn't go in to see it, and if you weren't there, why were they watching?"
"The location is wrong. Most of the places were mud and straw houses, and it was hard to hide them. And the wheel prints on the ground also indicate that the vehicles did not enter the town, so I'm sure their lair is not here, but it must not be far from here.
It is very likely that they will be here when they negotiate business with the ** armed forces, or hand over arms and supplies. That's why Seth thought their camp was in town. It seems that this group of people is very careful, and this town is just suspicious. If we had been a little slower to react and go in as planned, there was a good chance that we would have been ambushed immediately. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"Lin Rui, look at this. Yelena handed him the tactical computer in her hand, "Keben's satellite map, there is something very strange on it. ”
Lin Rui looked at it after the results came, and said in a low voice, "What's strange?"
"Look here, behind town, near this piece of the White Nile. Some of the trees are not very well distributed and look stiff on satellite maps. That's the antenna of a high-power communications device, I guess. Although they camouflage with the leaves of camouflage nets, there shouldn't be such tall plants in that area. Yelena zoomed in on the picture and whispered.
"What kind of place is that?" Lin Rui frowned.
"A swampy wasteland where the locals rarely go. Yelena whispered.
"Probably a makeshift camp. Shogishi reacted. "This swamp is connected to the White Nile, and they can enter it by boat. Weapons and ammunition can also be transported by water transport aircraft, which can be described as hidden without being aware of it. ”
"Yes, they must have set up a makeshift camp in the swamp. In addition, the area is densely vegetated, and no one goes into the swamp to look for them. Search vehicles and search teams are not able to enter it, and they can rest assured that the hostages will be held there. And don't worry that the hostages will escape. In addition, an eyeliner has been set up in a nearby town to ensure that the area is safe. Lin Rui pointed to the map.
"Damn, I hate swamps. Sergei shook his head. "It's very annoying, not to mention, there might be those damn crocodiles here. ”
"It's useless to hate it, it looks like we're going to have to break into this swamp. Lin Rui muttered, "This is actually not good for us at all. The safer their camps are, the more they can be used for us. At least they won't be more alert than they are in the town. ”
"Well, though, I sound like I'm comforting myself. Sandro smiled wryly.
"Stop talking nonsense, Cookie, you and Crazy Horse managed to get a boat. The others went to the perimeter of the swamp to carry out the guard, first to find out the situation, but must not alarm the other party. They have hostages, and they have a very good sniper. If we take the risk, it will be very bad for us. Lin Rui looked at the team members and said.
