Chapter 2280: Another Purpose
After bandaging the wound, Vasily, after retiring from the crowd, took out the communicator and pressed a special number.
"It's me. Vasily whispered, "Everything is done according to your wishes, but the Red Baron seems to be dissatisfied. Should I tell him that this is what the Grand Duke meant......"
"Not necessarily. I'll do it when it's time for him to understand. You've done a great job this time, keep up doing your own thing. The voice on the other end of the communicator has undergone an electronic voice change, and the voice is somewhat strange and prolonged.
"But the Grand Duke, I don't quite understand why you deliberately let these rebels go?" Vasily whispered, "according to the Red Baron's plan, we can even completely annihilate this rebel army." ”
Vasily actually called this man the Grand Duke in a respectful voice. The mysterious Grand Duke of the Secret Society, even in front of Vasily, is mysterious and terrifying.
"Everything in this world has a reason, but no one is omniscient. For the Secret Society, everyone only needs to take care of their own scope to ensure the good functioning of the organization. It's not a good thing to know too much. Because the more you know, the more responsibility you have. Not everyone has the ability to take control. The voice in the communicator said slowly, "At present, the existence of this rebel force still has their role, so they exist. ”
"But what about the mercenaries, Grand Duke?" Vasily whispered.
"They're not a problem per se, it's just that some of the problems have become a little more complicated, but it's not a big deal, and they're useful when necessary. The most brilliant strategy in the world is not to destroy the enemy, but to exploit it. Anyway, you don't need to discuss this matter anymore, just let them think that you are an arrogant and incompetent person. It doesn't hurt you. The Grand Duke chuckled. "Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with being looked down upon. ”
"Yes, Grand Duke. Vasily looked down at his palm, which had just been bandaged, and some blood was still oozing.
"Of course, this time he was too heavy. You should have a good bandage and rest for a few days. Fortunately, it is left-handed, and it does not affect your signing of documents. The Grand Duke of the Secret Society said slowly, "That's it." ”
Vasily's heart shook, the Red Baron had only been stabbing him for a few minutes, and he immediately contacted the Grand Duke to report the matter after a little bandaging. But the Grand Duke already knew about his injury, and knew that it was in his left hand. The eyes and ears of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society seem to be everywhere. Vasily's face turned a little pale, and he began to rejoice that he had always done what the Grand Duke of the Secret Society wanted, and that he had never acted excessively. Otherwise......
On the other hand, he began to wonder why the Grand Duke had left this rebel army behind, and what exactly was he going to use them for?
It's a pity that no one has ever been able to understand the idea of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. As he said, not everyone is in control.
Lin Rui and the rest of the team walked in the jungle all day before dragging their tired and wet bodies out of the jungle.
"In front is a village. An anti-government guerrilla whispered. "I know that place. Government troops rarely come here, so it should be safe for us. We can take a break here. ”
Lin Rui frowned and said, "Are you sure it's safe?"
"It's safe, that village was previously controlled by the Amor forces. So they don't have any ill feelings towards us. We can exchange money for food and water with them. If you're lucky, you might even get some medicine. We have a lot of wounded, and they can't last long without medicine. The anti-government guerrilla whispered.
"Okay, let's go into that village. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Remember to be cautious, you take a team in first." Once you're sure there's no problem, let others in. Especially the wounded, if it is not safe to evacuate there, they will not be able to keep up, and many of them will not be able to withstand too much tossing. ”
"I understand. The guerrillas nodded and walked into the village with a few other men in the rain.
It's a small village on the edge of the jungle, and like most of the villages here, it's a dirty mess. However, because of its distance from the town, it is relatively safe, at least it has not been affected by the war.
Soon, the partisans returned. They made an agreement with the local village chief to allow them to rest for the night. Lin Rui and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, for the first time in the past few days, they were able to rest under the roof. A fire was lit in the simple room, and they were slowly allowed to dry their clothes. Lin Rui was also able to sit down and replenish some food and water. There was still some water in the kettle around his waist, so he chewed slowly on the dry, compressed dry food.
Although they bought some food from the villagers. But Lin Rui has developed a habit, he would rather nibble on this hard dry food than eat African bush meat of unknown origin. God knows how many germs there are on those wild animals.
Yelena leaned over him and whispered, "You seem to smell of sweat all over you." ”
"At least not the smell of blood. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Being able to sweat at least means that the metabolism is still normal." How are you?"
"I'm fine, not hurt. Yelena handed him the water in her hand. "For a moment, I almost thought I was going to die, a bullet was close to me, right in my ear. I could even hear the sound of bullets flying in. ”
"It's not a buzzing sound, it doesn't seem to be like it sounds like it sounds from afar. It's like a vibrating sound. Lin Rui smiled.
"It seems that I am not alone. Yelena whispered. "What were you thinking at that time?"
"I don't know, it's blank. It's like thinking you're going to die, but you're at a loss and don't know what to say. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "It's not the first time that this kind of experience has been experienced." What about you, what do you remember when you feel like you're going to die?"
Yelena was silent, "I was thinking, it's better not to hit me in the face." I don't want to die too ugly. ”
"Poof. Lin Rui suddenly squirted out all the sip of water he had drunk into his mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" said Yelena, annoyed.
"It's nothing, I just remembered that there is always a difference between a woman and a man. Usually women are more sensitive. Lin Rui sighed and said.
"Sorry to interrupt your chat. But I have something to tell you. Shogan walked in from the outside and whispered, "Le Anson still can't be reached." I don't know if they escaped, but based on our intelligence, they weren't stopped by the Order. But for some unknown reason, they cut off contact with us. ”
