Chapter 95 Situation of Growing Areas
Li Renjie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and while reaching out to cover the prisoner's mouth, he commanded: "Zero one-one, be alert." Zero One Eight, calm him down first, and then ask him what really happened. ”
Dong Yue's Spanish is quite fluent, but Li Renjie didn't understand what he said to the captive.
The captives were very frightened and did not cooperate at first, but after Dong Yue took out a piece of corn tortillas that he had hidden for breakfast, the captives swallowed and ate them.
The two chatted for a while, and then Dong Yue came to Li Renjie.
"What did he say?" Li Renjie asked.
Dong Yue's face was a little heavy, and he spoke: "The head of the drug criminals here went to a certain place with a large army to conduct drug transactions yesterday, and it is estimated that he will come back before noon today."
There aren't many enemies on the planting area right now, and most of them are baby soldiers. ”
Most of the armed forces of the drug offenders were not there, which was beyond Li Renjie's expectations.
However, it completely explains why there were no sentries on the way, presumably because the current defense of the planting area is weak, and there is no extra manpower to come to check the situation.
"What else?" Li Renjie asked, the captive and Dong Yue said a lot just now, and there is definitely more than that.
Dong Yue thought for a moment and said, "I asked what the situation was before, and he told me that there are many people like him in the planting area, who are forced to work as coolies here.
Whoever disobeys will have his hands and feet cut off.
He and two others escaped while the defenses were loose, and he hid here while the enemy caught up with the other two. ”
Everything was explained clearly, but Li Renjie didn't have the slightest excitement, but his mood was even heavier, staring at Dong Yue and asking, "What else do you want to say?" ”
Dong Yue said with some excitement: "Applejack, according to what he said, there are still hundreds of coolies like him in the planting area, and we should take this opportunity to rescue them!" ”
Li Renjie frowned, not that he didn't have sympathy, but that he thought about the problem more and more realistically.
"Dong Yue, have you ever thought about what we can do to save those hundreds of people?"
"What do you mean?" Dong Yue asked.
Li Renjie said: "Let's put it this way, even if the other students promised us to rescue those people together, and we really succeeded in rescuing them, have you ever thought about how to take them away?"
Plane?
Do you think the instructor will answer that the plane will pick them up and the school will let them stay?
Don't be silly.
The hunting school is not a charity, and the principal and instructors will not know about it?
If they really wanted to save these people, they would have done it a long time ago, and would they have left it to us? ”
Dong Yue frowned, as a reporter, he was not stupid, and he knew that what Li Renjie said was a fact.
The hunting school is definitely capable of rescuing those people, but as Li Renjie said, the school is not a charity, so why should they save people?
"But we can't just leave them alone, we have to find a way, right?" Dong Yue said without giving up.
Li Quanjie then said: "Dong Yue, let's take a step back and say, do you think the enemy in the planting area will allow us to take those people? ”
After a slight pause, he preached again,
"Let's do that in a different way, right? You also know that most of the enemies left in the planting area are child soldiers, if you were allowed to encounter those child soldiers, would you shoot at them? ”
"Me"
Dong Yue was stunned, he said before that he couldn't do it, he couldn't shoot a child, even if they were devils who killed people without blinking.
Li Renjie stretched out his hand and patted Dong Yue on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, we have our task. I promise you, within my ability, I will definitely help them. ”
"Thank you." Dong Yue said.
Sometimes problems can be distinguished not simply by good and evil.
For example, if you don't kill those child soldiers, you will be the one who dies under the gun.
Sometimes it's not a question of whether to do it or not.
Just like the issue of rescuing hundreds of coolies, Li Renjie is definitely not a cold-blooded animal with a hard heart, but the reality makes him have to make a choice that is contrary to his heart.
In his own words, he will definitely help those people within his ability.
Rescuing hundreds of coolies is not simply about getting them out of the plantation area, but also about what to do.
For example, how to evacuate them safely, how to keep them from falling into the hands of drug criminals, and how to let them live.
These are beyond the scope of Li Renjie's ability.
For now, he's just a recruit, a gunslinger who came to the hunting school to learn.
It's easy for him to shoot an enemy, let him save hundreds of people at once, he can't do it.
"Zero 11, 018 and I continue to go to the front to reconnoitre, and you take him back to tell everyone the news." Li Renjie commanded.
"Yes." Zero One answered, walking up to the captive and trying to tie him up.
"Hey." Seeing this, Li Renjie grabbed Owen's hand, glanced at the captive's handsless arm, shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no need for that." ”
Owen thought for a moment and put the rope away, and at the same time turned his head to Dong Yue and said, "Please tell this guy, I won't hurt him, but he'd better not run away, otherwise I'll shoot him." ”
Dong Yue translated, and the captive shook his head and said a lot to Owen, roughly meaning that he would not run away, and begged Owen not to shoot him.
Li Renjie and Dong Yue continued to cover each other's advance, and sure enough, they did not encounter any obstacles on the way, and soon came to the periphery of the planting area.
The two hid in the weeds to observe.
The entire planting area covers a very large area, and the terrain is so complex that even climbing to the top of the trees is impossible to see.
However, the real target area is not that large.
A few hundred meters away is a garden, behind which is a luxuriously built villa, and the garden and the villa are scattered around the guard by armed men.
Further back are rows of low wooden huts, presumably where the coolies lived, and all the coolies were distributed among the plantation areas to work.
Although three coolies escaped today, for the vast majority of the coolies they did not have the courage to flee, and even without armed personnel to watch them, the invisible shackles drove them to complete the day's work.
The sound of water coming from farther afield, a tributary of the Amazon River, which provides irrigation for the entire growing area.
"Rustle"
Li Renjie and Dong Yue observed for a few minutes, and there was a small sound behind them, and other students rushed over.
"What's going on now?" Owen came to Li Renjie's side and asked.
