Chapter 304: Village
Africa is one of the cradles of ancient humans and civilizations in the world, with the earliest written records dating back to 4000 BC. Egypt in northern Africa is one of the cradles of world civilization.
However, due to long-term ethnic conflicts, tropical diseases, and environmental damage caused by industrialization, Western colonialism in the past, and corrupt regimes after independence, Africa has become the continent with the largest concentration of developing countries, the continent with the lowest level of economic development in the world, and the total annual trade volume of Africa accounts for only 1 percent of the world.
Guinea-Bissau, in particular, is not very developed in its own right, with a GDP per capita of only $573.
The country is one of the 20 poorest countries in the world, with low per capita income, rampant infectious diseases, an economy dominated by agriculture and fishing, and an external debt of more than $900 million. At the end of the last century, the country's economy and infrastructure were severely damaged by civil war.
If it weren't for this mission, Liang Ye and the rest of the task force might never have set foot here in their lives.
Liang Ye pressed the intercom and said in a deep voice: "The ghost team called the Yangcheng ship to conduct a radio test, please answer if you receive it!" ”
After a while, the voice of the communicator came from the intercom: "Yangcheng ship received, channel 3, please turn on the beacon, the satellite is covering your location." ”
Everyone was using the same frequency now, so they could all hear the call of the Yangcheng ship's communicator.
Liang Ye made a gesture towards everyone, and then turned on the beacon on his body.
The beacon is turned on to allow the satellite to lock on to the specific location of the people, so that when the action is made, the satellite can also distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend.
Liang Ye glanced at the military watch in his left hand, which displayed the time in China and the time in Guinea-Bissau.
Once the watch enters a zone with a different jet lag, the time in that zone will automatically appear; At the same time, the time in China will not disappear, so that people can see the difference in time.
Liang Ye took off his hood and said quickly: "It's 8:25 p.m., the satellite covers the area, and the ghost team starts to act. ”
"Roger, good luck." The Yangcheng ship replied.
Everyone loaded the rifle bullets in their hands one after another, and then fixed their eyes on Liang Ye's body, waiting for his order.
"The plan remains the same, Yue Ling and I dived in the river, Lei Yu found a good sniper point to lock the entire village, and Deng Xuan and Tang Hao entered from the side. Proceed carefully and don't get discovered, I'm not sure if this village is safe. ”
After speaking, Liang Ye glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a problem?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, there was nothing wrong with Liang Ye's plan of action, as the captain, he could indeed do the work that every captain should do.
It is true that his military strategy was not learned in vain.
Liang Ye loaded the rifle bullet, and then said, "Okay, let's get moving, Yueling will follow me." ”
The crowd began to move, and they were all very professional soldiers and agents; This kind of action is not a problem for everyone at all.
The only trouble is that Liang Ye is not sure if the village is still safe, so he can only choose to sneak in.
The river is icy, but in the heat of summer, it's nothing.
Liang Ye stepped into the river, and when the river soaked his trouser legs, he scolded, "What I hate the most is to go into the water." ”
Zhou Yuying followed behind him, and when she heard Liang Ye's complaint, she immediately laughed in a low voice: "I haven't complained about this girl yet." ”
Hearing Zhou Yuying's words, Liang Ye smiled bitterly, then took a deep breath, and the whole person dived into the water.
The river is not wide, only more than twenty meters; Liang Ye and Zhou Yuying swam quickly in the river, swimming towards the bank on the other side of the river.
Thunderstorm had already occupied a favorable sniping position, and he used his 'Sky Eye' to lock onto the shore where Liang Ye and Zhou Yuying were approaching.
At this time, Thunderstorm suddenly noticed that a woman in a coarse cloth dress was approaching the shore, holding a spoon and a bucket in her hands.
It can be seen from the woman's black skin that she is a local villager.
The water of the river was very clear, and Liang Ye could see people approaching the shore.
Liang Ye and Zhou Yuying, who were in the water, exchanged glances, and then began to separate left and right.
A woman in a coarse cloth dress crouched down on the bank of the river and put a spoon in her hand into the water, trying to fill the bucket with water.
However, she had just filled a spoonful of water when Liang Ye stood up from the water suddenly.
Without waiting for the woman to scream, Zhou Yuying locked the woman's throat from behind and covered her mouth.
"Are you a villager here?" Zhou Yuying said in Portuguese.
The official language of Guinea-Bissau is Portuguese, and Zhou Yuying is fluent in more than a dozen languages, making it effortless to speak.
The woman was visibly frightened, her body trembling incessantly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Okay, calm down, I won't hurt you, you just need to answer my questions." Zhou Yuying relaxed her lock on the woman a little and continued: "Are there any soldiers around here, are there any rebels?" ”
The woman shook her head vigorously, her trembling body proving that she was still in a state of extreme panic.
"Very well, do you know Dr. Shao Yuxuan? Do you know who she is? Zhou Yuying continued to ask.
This time the woman nodded vigorously, and her nod also made Liang Ye secretly relieved; So far, things are going well.
Zhou Yuying gave Liang Ye a look, and then said, "Then can you take me to her?" Rest assured, I won't hurt you. ”
Liang Ye only speaks a little Portuguese and is very unproficient. However, he has practiced since he was a child, so it is still no problem to listen.
In order to give trust to the local villagers, Zhou Yuying slowly let go of her hand so that the woman could breathe normally.
If this woman had any bad behavior just now, Zhou Yuying would have been able to break her neck in an instant.
The frightened woman began to turn and walk back, and Zhou Yuying grabbed her arm to prevent her from fleeing suddenly.
Liang Ye followed with a gun, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, looking for possible potential threats.
Tang Hao and Deng Xuan had already infiltrated the village, not far from Liang Ye's location.
"Thunderstorm, watch our back, beware of the rebel raid." Liang Ye pressed the intercom and said.
"No problem." Thunderstorm answered.
The woman who was being held by Zhou Yuying led the two to the outside of a somewhat dilapidated church with a cross on it, and it was clear that the villagers here were Christians.
What religion they believe in is not something that Liang Ye should consider, what he has to do now is to take Shao Yuxuan and the others out of this place.
Zhou Yuying grabbed the woman's arm to prevent her from continuing to walk, while Liang Ye walked to the front with a gun and pushed open the door of the church with a vigilant attitude.
