Chapter 1608: Tomorrow's Worries
"And so much more?" Sergei frowned, "Did you make this up?"
"Of course not, it's psychology. The assassin was actually very nervous, especially when the target was surrounded by bodyguards. It's a psychological deterrence and invisible pressure. Of course, for some very professional veterans, this trick does not work. At least that's what the ISD training materials say. Shogishi said with a smile.
"This time, our Group A is in charge of the core area, while Group B is spread out around and is responsible for perimeter vigilance. Lin Rui continued, "Do you have any questions?"
"I have a problem. Rick Boss, you're the leader, and I don't mean to offend. But why don't we have Group B in charge of the core area? Is it because we have just undergone a rebuilding and have little confidence in us. One of the mercenaries in Group B frowned.
Lincoln turned around and said, "What are you talking about? Assignment is the captain's business. As a member of the team, there is only obedience. ”
Lin Rui smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't do this, Lincoln." It's a tactical set-up meeting, and every player has a say. It's always been like that in my ranks, and I'm not going to shut anyone up. By the way, when you just talked about trust, you actually have such considerations. But it's not absolute, it's always fair in my team, I only believe in ability.
Only those who have the ability can gain respect. People who are incapable cannot save anything, not even their own lives. Your first time on O2 missions, I, as the captain, want to make it clear to you how we do things. Plus, each of you has the opportunity to prove your abilities.
The main thing is that the mission is a woman, and according to their customs, young women are not allowed to get up close and personal with men. We have two women in Group A, so it's easier to get protected. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Sergei smiled evilly, "If you're not satisfied, maybe you can go for an operation." Now that medicine is developed, it is not so difficult to become a woman. ”
These mercenaries laughed for a while, and the mercenaries in Group B couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Alright, I'm going to take my words back. In our whole team, this Russian guy can shut up. Because he couldn't spit out any constructive advice other than whining strange things and untimely jokes. Lin Rui shrugged.
The crowd burst into laughter again. "In closing, I would like to say yes. I'm very happy to be with you today, especially in Group B after the rebuild. He patted Lincoln on the shoulder, "Welcome back, brother." Lincoln nodded, his mood was more complicated than Lin Rui's.
In the evening, Lin Rui sat on the sand by the sea, watching the sunset in the distance.
"I guess you're right here. Yelena came over and sat down beside him.
"There are so many people, only you know me best. Lin Rui didn't turn his head, just looked into the distance.
Yelena was silent for a while and said, "Did you remember something unpleasant?" ”
"Yes, I think of these days, the people who fought side by side with me and left in the end. Seeing the newcomers to Group B today, I suddenly felt a sense of guilt. I remember their smiling faces, but maybe they'll die in the middle of a mission one day. Lin Rui sighed.
"Your survivor guilt again? You're going to have to go to the doctor again. Yelena sighed, "This path was chosen by ourselves, and no one forced us. We fight for ourselves, even if we die, we die for ourselves. ”
Lin Rui retracted his gaze, "It's not easy to think like this, after all, a person doesn't live for himself." The death of many comrades-in-arms is still a sacrifice to some extent. I know that as a mercenary who fights for money, even if he dies, no one will think that it is a sacrifice.
But in a sense, they died to complete the mission. And this task is for the team, we are all the same. ”
"Don't think about it, you're going to hurt yourself. I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about whether I will have the courage to continue once you die. Yelena leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Sometimes, when you don't think about anything, you will be calm and full of courage." ”
"I know, but I can't. In the face of death, many people can't deal with it calmly. This is especially true for the people around us. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Because our mercenaries only have each other except for the weapons in their hands." ”
Yelena hugged his shoulders and whispered, "Are you feeling the pressure?" ”
"No, I think I know...... I feel a little dazed in the face of death. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I'm a little overwhelmed." ”
"No, we will live, live well. We also said that we would retire together. Yelena chuckled and stretched out her hand, and in the palm of her hand there was a grenade tab. "You still owe me the ring. ”
"Do you still have this?" Lin Rui couldn't help but smile. The pull tab of this grenade is the "ring" he gave Yelena the last time he jokingly gave it.
"You said that one day you would exchange it for the real thing, I'm waiting. Yelena leaned against him.
"Are you really so confident?" Lin Rui couldn't help but say.
"Of course, we don't have examples in front of us. Isn't that the dragon fat?" said Yelena with a smile.
Lin Rui also smiled, "To be honest, I envy that fat man." ”
"So, you have to cheer up a little bit. You have to believe that we have a future. Yelena leaned against him and smiled.
"I remember that fat man once said that if you don't believe in a future, all mercenaries will become beasts. Lin Rui said slowly, "This dead fat man is a wise man. He suddenly rolled over and hugged Yelena, using a rolling bridge technique to press Yelena under him. "Sometimes, though, I want to be a beast. He buried his head in Yelena's chest.
Yelena smiled and broke free, controlling the opponent's arm and the back of the elbow joint with both hands, and the foot hook on the same side locked Lin Rui's foot. Using the bridging technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he flipped Lin Rui diagonally above his shoulders and pressed him under him in reverse.
"I'm going to resist. Yelena gasped with a smile.
"It's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, right? I thought you Russians would only do sambo, or Greco-Roman wrestling. You're a pleasant surprise to me. Lin Rui laughed.
"Would you like to be more surprised?" said Yelena with a smile on her face.
"I don't want to, it's too exciting, I can't stand it. And as a traditional person, I'm not used to this pose. Lin Rui twisted Yelena's waist with both feet and completed a counterattack. Two people laughed and rolled on the beach. Tomorrow's worries, or tomorrow's talk, they only have now.
