Chapter 837 Ruins

According to the agreed time, Zhang Ran and the members of the saber regiment came to the tavern together, and chose to sit at the bar with a wide view, Zhang Ran observed in the tavern, and found that the 'snake head' had been sitting at the round table with an arms dealer on the side, Zhang Ran knew that the arms dealer next to the 'snake head' should be the person of the 'war blade', but Zhang Ran found that there were more than a dozen 'Cobra' mercenaries in the entire tavern, they were scattered everywhere, but their eyes were all focused on the direction of the 'snake head', as the 'snake head' said, ' The Cobra's mercenaries wouldn't easily trust the arms dealer, so they sent a team member to follow him all the time.

After seeing Zhang Ran and a few people come in, the 'snake head' just glanced sideways, and then continued to chat with the arms dealer, and the two seemed to be chatting about inconsequential topics like friends.

After a while, the arms dealer got up and walked outside the tavern, followed by the 'Cobra' mercenary in the tavern, until all the personnel left, the 'snake head' walked up to Zhang Ran with a smile: "Sabre, let's go too." ”

"Where to go? Aren't you going to introduce me to the arms dealer? ”

"I'm sure you've seen it, there are a lot of mercenaries who follow him today, and it's impossible for the two of you to have any contact, this is what you need."

The cigar handed to him by the gunsmith was placed in front of Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran had noticed that the cigar had not been lit by the Snake Head, but had been holding it in his mouth.

Zhang Ran took the cigar, comprehended the cigar and put it away, there was a cat hidden in the middle of the tobacco, a note appeared in the cigar, Zhang Ran took out the note and looked at the content of the note with a smile: Three days later, at ten o'clock in the evening, fifty kilometers south of Beylebo.

The short first sentence Zhang Ran immediately understood that this was the place and time of the next transaction of the arms dealer.

"Where to trade? I wanted the arms dealer to tell me directly where the Cobra camp was. ”

The 'snake head' shook his head: "He doesn't know either." ”

It seems that the concealment of the 'Cobra' camp here is similar to that of Zimbabwe, even the third-class mercenaries who go out on a mission will not know what mission they will be going on, nor will they know the specific location of the camp, and every time they return to the camp, they will be escorted by special personnel, and their eyes will be blocked, so that people can't tell the way they pass, and they can't know where the camp they finally arrived at.

Zhang Ran said helplessly: "Since this is the only way to start with the transaction, hehe, okay, let's leave first!" ”

The 'snake head' nodded: "Well, you can come to me for something, I've always been here." ”

Zhang Ran nodded in response and led the team to the temporary residence in the jungle outside the tavern, where four new mercenaries were waiting for Zhang Ran and the team to return, because he was afraid that the people who went would attract attention, so Zhang Ran did not bring the four of them when he went to the tavern.

"Commander, are you back? How's it going? ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "It's already time for the next mission, let's rest here today." ”

In the temporary residence, Zhang Ran informed the other team members of the time and place, and everyone unanimously decided to go to the trading place first and choose an ambush according to the environment.

In the jungle at night, the saber regiment is moving slowly, carrying their backpacks around the vines, shuttling between the numbers, fifty kilometers is enough for the saber regiment to walk all night, at dawn, the saber regiment finally came to the place written on the note, but after coming here, Zhang Ran was a little surprised, in the dense jungle, there is actually a clearing, and there is a ruin made of stones in the clearing.

Zhang Ran took the team members to the ruins, only to notice that this is not a ruin, but an ancient ruins, the neat stones indicate that this is the traces of artificial excavation, Zhang Ran walked along the ruins to the inside, and found that this is not only a large area, but also some places are still very intact, the stones piled up together form a room, and the whole is closer to another famous building in Africa: the Egyptian pyramids.

Kuaishou smiled and said, "Is this the left Mayan civilization?" ”

Zhang Ran: "In the African jungle, there are many Mayan ruins, and there are also undiscovered buildings in many dense forests. Zhang Ran looked at the natural moss everywhere on the stone, and continued: "It seems that there is no human activity here, which means that this place has not been discovered by outsiders. ”

If a new Mayan site had been discovered, some archaeologists would have flocked to it, and the moss on the rocks would not have been so neat and intact.

"Boss, are they going to trade here?"

Zhang Ran looked around: "Well, it is very likely that only the open space here in this jungle can accommodate the gathering of people from both sides, plus the weapons and equipment trucks carried, this is the best place to trade." ”

'Dark Night' looked around and said to Zhang Ran: "Master, the entire clearing is in a circle, and this ruins are right in the center of the clearing, if we lie in ambush in the marginal jungle, these ruins will block our view of the enemy. ”

Zhang Ran nodded: "It seems that there is only an ambush in the ruins." ”

And asked Zhang Ran in cold blood: "Boss, what are we going to do after we find out that they are trading?" Will you kill them all? Or catch a 'cobra' and ask for the whereabouts of their camp? ”

Zhang Ran thought for a moment: "Kill the people of the 'Cobra', change into their clothes, and then let the 'Blade' arms dealer take us back." ”

"Back to where they were supposed to be?"

In the Zimbabwean Sabre Regiment, it is known that the 'Cobra' mercenaries who come out on a mission are first blindfolded from the camp, and then taken to a tavern or bar to arrange the mission, and after completing the mission, these 'Cobra' mercenaries will return to the tavern, and then be blindfolded and brought back to the camp. Zhang Ran wanted to use this model to do the opposite, disguise himself as a mercenary of 'Cobra', and go back with the arms dealer.

"Hmm."

"Although we wore combat uniforms with the 'Cobra' logo on them, no one would recognize us?"

Zhang Ran seemed a little overwhelmed, those mercenaries who came to the designated position with the team members would not know the appearance of their team members, as long as they followed the arms dealer to the tavern and contacted the mercenaries who brought the team members back, they would definitely be recognized.

"Hey, let's lay an ambush first, anyway, let's find a way after killing the people of 'Cobra'."

Zhang Ran led the team to find a suitable location in the ruins, but Zhang Ran did not find a good location after observing the entire ruins, and Zhang Ran did not want to destroy the moss on most of the stones, because that would leave obvious fresh traces, so that both parties who came here to trade would easily find that there were people passing by.

The slightest trace of violating the laws of nature is man-made, if the surrounding natural environment is destroyed because of the need to ambush, many excellent mercenaries can detect the abnormality from some inconspicuous traces at a glance, Zhang Ran can not allow himself to have such a mistake.

The other team members also looked for the best position in the ruins according to Zhang Ran's request, but in the end they found nothing.

"Boss, although there are many places to hide here, they are not the best venues, and some places have good concealment conditions, but there is no place to retreat."

The two most basic elements of an ambush are: first, our firepower can annihilate all opponents in the case of an ambush. But Zhang Ran did not know how many people from both sides of the deal would attend. Second, the ambush site must not only be able to directly observe the enemy as a whole, but also take its own retreat route, if the enemy counterattacks because of insufficient firepower, and our side has no way to retreat, then we can only wait for the enemy to rush up and kill ourselves.

Since the enemy's strength was not known, the ambush place requested by Zhang Ran must have a smooth retreat path in order to deal with special situations.

Zhang Ran said slowly: "Let's ambush here." ”

The members of the saber regiment looked at the place pointed by Zhang Ran in surprise, this is the center of the ruins, because it is wide, as long as you run in one direction casually, you will enter the jungle outside the clearing, but there is no hidden place for the ambush here, and it is completely exposed to the vision of the clearing, so it is still an ambush?

Zhang Ran continued: "Go to the jungle to collect moss, remember the whole moss ground I want, at least two meters long and two meters wide, and one person will find one. ”

Zhang Ran led the team members to the jungle, moss can be seen everywhere in the jungle, some of the rotten wood that fell to the ground is full of moss, cold-blooded with a dagger to cut the rotten wood, and after tiling to form a moss turf close to Zhang Ran's requirements. Kuaishou chose to dig up the surface soil on the bare and open hills, which naturally carried a thick layer of moss.

The team members obtained the moss ground that Zhang Ran needed through their own means, and then concentrated in the center of the ruins, Zhang Ran said slowly: "The time to make them trade in two days, starting tomorrow, we will use the moss to cover our bodies and crawl in the center of the ruins, and wait until they arrive." ”

The four newly joined team members asked in surprise: "Commander, lay here all day with moss?" ”

"Do you want me to repeat it?"

"No, no, it's just that they don't come to trade at ten o'clock at night? We can do an ambush at nine o'clock. ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "What if someone comes to us in advance?" No one wants to be the prey of an enemy in a single trade, and many arms dealers or buyers will come here early to observe their surroundings, and while this may not be the place where they will trade for the first time, it's always good to be prepared. ”

The four of them nodded and did not refute, Zhang Ran led the members of the saber regiment to spread the moss in the center of the ruins, the edge of the moss ground was very different from the surrounding environment, Zhang Ran found the remaining stones in the ruins to cover the edge, just overlapping the entire moss ground with the moss of the site itself.

"Let's go, rest in the jungle tonight, and we'll come here tomorrow to ambush again."

"Yes!"

Everyone returned to the jungle outside the clearing, and raised a fire on a stone, and this time the saber regiment did not set up a temporary residence, because they did not know where the personnel of the two sides of the transaction would enter the ruins from, if the temporary residence was discovered, their whereabouts would be exposed, and it was the same principle to make a fire on the stone, Zhang Ran just didn't want to leave any traces that might expose himself in or around the ambush of the saber regiment.

'Dark Night' sat on the ground, explaining the reason for doing so to the four new members of the team, the four of them listened carefully, they didn't think that the fifteen-year-old child in front of them was an ordinary person, they had already known the strength of 'Dark Night' from Lin Feng's mouth, so they all admired it.
