Volume 3: The Road of the Strong Chapter 07: The Poor Man's Child
In less than 3 minutes, everyone arrived at the meeting point. It was an open field, with knee-high weeds growing on the ground, and the ground was low. The scattered stagnant water in front reflected the moonlight, and all the surrounding areas were low trees, and the location was quite hidden.
About 5 minutes later, about 50 meters in front of everyone's line of sight, a few bright lights flashed, two long and one short, repeated three times, this is the joint code they agreed with the inner line. Rogers took out his flashlight and replied with two short and one long, repeating three times to identify himself.
"It seems that this guide still has some skills, and even I haven't noticed him!" Ronin said.
"That's because you know someone is coming, and everyone let their guard down!" The male dog responded.
Suddenly, a short figure flashed from behind a tree in the bright light, running skillfully to avoid the bullet step, and soon in front of them, the man crouched on the ground and asked in English, "May I ask who is Captain Rogers?" ”
Yang Fan was very surprised, because the person in front of him was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. He was dark-skinned, dressed in the clothes of a local, with a combat vest with only 2 rifle magazines and no other equipment, and an AK47 rifle behind him.
The man looked at them with a wary gaze, he should have been a childish age, and his face had a mature face that had been through vicissitudes.
"I am! Are you our guide this time? Rogers also asked in some surprise.
"That's right! I'm your guide this time, Mole. The boy replied, his gaze unusually determined, and though he was not very old, he spoke and acted in the manner of an adult.
Seeing that everyone was a little suspicious of him, the mole added, "You don't have to doubt it, I'm 18 years old this year, but I'm a little shorter than my peers. I've been fighting since I was 13 years old and I'm also trained as a scout. I'm very familiar with the terrain in this area, and I've been monitoring these miners for a long time, and I know where the target you're looking for is probably hiding! ”
Rogers said to the scalpel, "Contact a headquarters intelligence unit to confirm the identity of the mole." ”
"Yes! Captain. With that, the scalpel stepped back some distance and began to communicate with T3 through the communication system. After about 30 seconds, the scalpel came back and signaled to Rogers that the guide was fine.
"Can I go?" The mole asked.
"Wait a minute! scalpel, give him a set of radio equipment. Rogers said, looking at the scalpel, which took out a spare set of radios and loaded it up for the mole.
"Mole, if there is any situation in the town in a while, feel free to contact me!" With that, Rogers led the group through the low woods under the guidance of the mole.
Yang Fan found that this mole was indeed as he said, full of physical strength and skillful movements, and should have participated in many battles. About 30 minutes later, the group came to hide in the woods about 1 kilometer outside the town of Olapa.
The mole lowered his voice and said, "Captain Rogers, in 10 minutes, they will change the guard again, and I will sneak in before they change the guard." The target was cunning, they were stationed at the far edge of the town, renting all the houses at a high price, and there were almost no others within 1 kilometer of the perimeter.
In addition, there are 4 permanent houses in the target, all in the middle of the area, each spaced about 50 meters apart. He's going to change every day, so I'm going to go in and see where he is today! Then I'll tell you where he is, so you can make a raid! ”
"Good. Be careful! Rogers nodded.
The harvester asked from the side, "Mole, do you know the deployment of troops inside?" ”
The mole shook his head and said softly, "It's not particularly clear. A friend of mine told me about it, and I've only been in it once before, and I've only focused on the target's location. ”
The harvester nodded, without any expression on his face.
After saying that, the mole left the hiding place and ran towards the town. His movements are fast and slow, and he is extremely familiar with the route, choosing the route that is the least easy to find, and it seems that he has done a lot of reconnaissance before.
After the mole left, everyone rested in place, making final preparations for the action.
"Yes, I'm certainly not as good as him at this age." The vampire said as he examined his Remington R700 sniper rifle.
"Yes, you were still a boy at that time! How is it possible to know the pain experienced by these children who began to work hard to survive at such a young age. The ronin teased from the side.
Yang Fan sat next to Rogers and asked with some curiosity: "Captain, do we need to pay this child less?" He knew that this was not what he should know, but he just wanted to know too much money for such a child to come out and work hard.
Rogers looked at Yang Fan, stretched out five fingers, and said, "$5,000." ”
"$5,000? Do you have to work hard for this money? Yang Fan said in surprise.
Sokolov sighed and said: "Although Africa is an important source of diamond mines, it is a very small number of people who can profit from the diamond business, and the vast majority of people live in very poor conditions. There is no way, the law of the jungle applies everywhere. In Africa, there are many people like him who have begun to support their families at his age. $5,000 is not a small amount for them. ”
"But... For $5,000, is that mole going to risk his life? ”
Kevin patted Yang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Newcomer, $5,000 may be just a number for you, and it's not a lot of numbers." But for the mole, it may be a year's worth of expenses for the family, or even a sum of money that can change the fate of their family. He didn't risk it for $5,000, he risked it for life, for his family to be able to live. ”
"yes. Jazz was right. Rogers added: "Newcomer, don't you have a saying in China: Do the children of the poor take charge of the house early? The mole is the child of a poor family. No way, this is his fate! ”
Yang Fan nodded and said in a low voice: "That's right, this is fate!" Who called him a poor child? ”
"Alright, newcomer. Don't be sentimental, just take care of yourself, and don't drag us back when we fight! The harvester said while checking his HK416 assault rifle, without even looking at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan originally wanted to ask something, but when he saw the attitude of the harvester, he had no choice but to give up.
Rogers looked at Yang Fan, then turned his head to the scalpel and said, "Scalpel, investigate the situation inside." Then contact the T3 Intelligence Information Center, and we will need detailed information from them for a while. ”
"Understood!" The scalpel takes the drone out of the backpack and quickly assembles it.
After the drone lifted off, the scalpel coordinated the control panel in his hand to fly the drone to the designated position, and then adjusted the communication equipment, about a minute later, a voice that was very familiar to Yang Fan came from everyone's headphones: "Hello Captain Rogers, I am the penumbra in charge of this mission!" ”
It's Parker! Yang Fan was overjoyed and wanted to say hello to Parker, but he knew that this was a mission, and the two of them had their own jobs. And the harvester also knows their relationship, so it's better not to be too troublesome.
"Hello, Penumbra. What's going on inside? Rogers asked.
Parker said over the radio, "Captain Rogers, the map screen shows that there are a total of 32 buildings in this area, all of which are ordinary houses. There are 4 buildings in the middle, each about 50 meters apart, and the drone cannot see the inside of the house, so it is estimated that the target is in one of them.
There are 4 people at the gate in front of you on the screen, and there are 8 people patrolling the road between the buildings behind the gate, and there are 4 people at the back of the entire area. No one else was found at the moment, and I judged that they should rest or stand by in the houses on both sides behind the main entrance. ”
"Wait, there's the latest information!" Parker paused, then continued, "Our guide has marked the location of the target, he is now in the westernmost of the four buildings in the middle of the entire area, and I will now transmit the map to you. ”
After hearing this, everyone began to switch the screen of the watch, and at this time Yang Fan suddenly remembered that the watch customized by the miser for everyone has the function of image acceptance and GPS reception. Yang Fan adjusted the watch to the corresponding screen and saw the complete area plan, and the location of the target kept flashing.
Rogers said over the radio, "Good, Penumbra!" After we launch a raid, the scalpel may not be able to control the drone. When the time comes, please be our eyes in the sky! Please tell the Changebird, and I will thank her in person when the mission is over. Of course, you must have a share of the commission! ”
"Okay, I understand! Captain Rogers, give me the drone. Parker said.
"Call Captain Rogers, call Captain Rogers." The sound of a mole came over everyone's radio.
