The rain is still falling. 2. The raincoats on Lin Rui and the others were already soaked, dripping water constantly. Lin Rui looked at the map and knew that they were still not out of danger. It is highly likely that US military helicopters are hovering nearby.

"How long is there to get to the scheduled place. Sergei whispered.

"We've arrived, but it looks like the response team hasn't arrived yet. Crazy Horse whispered.

"Take a break and don't get out of the woods. so as not to expose the target. Lin Rui turned around, took out the communication headset and began to contact the response team. This receiving team was arranged by Crystal, and he knew that with Crystal's rigor and cleverness, it was impossible to be late. And now that the response team is not in the position where it should be, there is only one explanation, and that is that there has been a temporary change.

The communication was connected, and Lin Ruixun reported the agreed action code to confirm the identities of both parties. Crystal's voice was a little anxious, "You are half an hour later than the agreed time, and we can't wait for you in place, because the U.S. military is already starting to check along the road." You have also missed the best time to evacuate. ”

"I understand, what should we do now?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"Do you have any casualties? If not, I can arrange for you to take shelter nearby. Crystal whispered.

"Nope. But we still have those two Russians with us. Lin Rui replied. "As long as we take them with us, we can't run very far. ”

Crystal pondered for a moment and said, "Now, take your people off the road and go to a nearby town, and I'll give you the coordinates." We'll meet there and then try to get you out. Be careful, we'd better be able to meet before dawn. There are some things that we have to revisit. ”

"Understood. Lin Rui nodded, turned around and greeted the team members, "Okay, let's continue to hurry when we have enough rest, we must find the town on the side of the road." Crystal and her people will be waiting for us there. ”

"It would be nice if they had hot water and food, I'm really cold and hungry right now. Crazy Horse smiled wryly.

Their party left the woods and found the town near the road. The scale of this town is not large, and Lin Rui and the others quickly found Crystal and her response team. They meet in a small market in town, and Crystal's men take them to the warehouse at the back of the city. Crystal was whispering with a few of her men.

"What's going on?" Lin Rui walked in.

"The situation has changed. Crystal turned his head and said, "The U.S. military's interrogation is very strict. We had a container truck ready to take you in the car and leave by road. But now, because we missed the right time, the US military has reacted. The road has been blocked and there are checks along the way. So we may need to revise our original plan. ”

"Well, our bad. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Is there any way to remedy it now?"

"This is a very sensitive task, and you must not see the light during this time. Crystal paced back and forth, "And Mr. K may have guessed our course of action, and a large number of CIA agents may have already started their activities." Once they arrested you on the way. If it is confirmed that you participated in this operation, then the entire Black Island Company will not be able to get out of it. So we can't take risks, I mean change the plan, we go from somewhere else. ”

"Elsewhere?" Lin Rui frowned, "Where are we going?"

"Go to Zitau, which is the southeast of the Free State of Saxony. The borders of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. We'll make plans when we get there. Crystal whispered.

"Why? We are so close to the border that we can enter the Czech Republic by road. Why go so far?" Sergey said, shaking his head.

"Because the CIA agents didn't think we'd go far and wide. The less they can expect it, the safer we are. Lin Rui said slowly.

Crystal smiled slightly, "Look, Sergey, that's why Rick is the captain. He was quite right, the US military should be aware that we will withdraw from this road to the border. So they set up several checkpoints and strictly checked them. But what they didn't expect was that we didn't rush across the border, but diverted to Qitao. So on the way to Qitao, it was a flat river. And we can easily enter the Czech Republic or Poland in Cito. Thus getting rid of their tracking. ”

"When are you leaving!" Lin Rui nodded.

"In an hour, we'll have a van coming out. Because, as usual, in the morning the trucks arrive in the market and then unload and leave. The people around me have long been accustomed to it, and no one will find it abnormal. This car will take us to Zitao. You have an hour to clean up and change into clean clothes. After a night in the woods, you smell terrible. Crystal shook her head.

"Understood. Let's go, let's all clean up and change our clothes. Lin Rui turned his head to the team members.

"And your weapons and communication equipment, I have to put them all away for you and destroy them, so as not to leave any evidence. Remember that when you pack up and walk out, you will not be a mercenary, but a few ordinary workers. You don't need weapons anymore. Crystal looked at them.

"But what if we run into U.S. troops, or Mr. K's pesky CIA agents?" Sergei frowned, "Do you deal with them with your bare hands?"

"No one knows that you, the guy with red hair, are the one who attacked the US military base yesterday. Unless you have a weapon, that's an endorsement of yourself to the Americans. Crystal smiled.

"Okay. I hope you're right. Sergei shook his head.

Lin Rui turned around and said, "Crystal is right, if it is really exposed, whether you have a weapon in your hand or not will be a result." You may die a more brutal death with a weapon, but you'll still die in the end. Without weapons, you may die a nest, but there is still hope for survival. What do you want to choose?"

"Ahem, in fact, I've always been quite a wretch. Sergei shrugged.

The crowd laughed and then dispersed. They completely cleaned themselves up and changed into old blue overalls. These overalls were also managed by Crystal, half-worn and with advertisements for some kind of city meat products printed on the back, and the image was completely transformed into blue-collar workers.

"This is your identity, remember, these documents can only be used on the road, and when you arrive in Qitao, you must destroy them immediately. Crystal handed them a few of the worker's work cards.
