Chapter Forty-Eight: Unintentional Gains (Part II)

Unloading the heavy equipment they were carrying, Bao Lei and Pan Guan only carried the weapons they carried, and they touched the exhaust building not far in front of them one after the other. With the help of the cover of darkness and heavy rain, Pan Guan and Bao Lei, who did not have to worry about making noises during their movements, approached the periphery of the abandoned building almost in just ten minutes, and each leaned on some low shrubs that had been damaged by the heavy rain, and carefully observed the abandoned building.

Judging from the appearance of the abandoned building, it is clear that the building was built with a lot of painstaking work. Not only is the building material an all-steel skeleton and poured concrete, which are extremely rare in Africa, but also the formwork with a clear Western medical architectural style is also used in the structure of the house, which is not only sturdy, but also convenient for transportation, and even lays a good foundation for possible expansion in the future.

In the usual sense, such a sturdy building would be occupied by indigenous Africans who had access to everything, even if the original owner relinquished ownership of the building for his own reasons.

From the perimeter of the building, it is clear that the sturdy building is unattended. Under the scorching sun and strong winds in Africa, it looks unusually degraded?

Stretching out his hand and beckoning to Pan Guan, who was squatting behind him, Bao Lei waited until Pan Guan cautiously touched his side, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a few windows on the third floor of the abandoned building in front of him, which were blocked with wooden boards: "It looks like no one lives, but the windows on the third floor are sealed with wooden boards, what kind of reason is this?" ”

Blinking, Pan Guan thought for a moment, and shook his head with some confusion: "How many ways are this...... I don't understand it either! It would be reasonable to say that those windows were blocked with wooden planks to protect them from the wind and rain. But if you look closely at the holes in the wall that are obviously carved out by man, the openings are all clearly pointing downward, and the rain cannot penetrate them, but the wind is unimpeded...... How does this look like ......?"

Frowning, Bao Lei turned his face to look at Pan Guan, who looked pensive: "What do you think of and say it quickly?!" At this time, what else is it selling? ”

Pan Guan: "I think it's like the kind of air-drying house we saw when we were training in Xinjiang?" ”

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Bao Lei snorted in a low voice: "Do you mean that the African people also learned to grow grapes and use the wind to make raisins from Xinjiang?" If the brain movement is open big enough, the direction is a little off......"

Pan Guan: "But this can really ensure the ventilation in the building, so that the items stored in the building can be kept dry enough!" ”

Waving his hand impatiently, Bao Lei snorted again in a low voice: "In this part of Africa, what can't be kept dry during the dry season?" Unless it's ......"

Halfway through his words, a look of surprise flashed in Bao Lei's eyes: "A special storage house for the rainy season? ”

Nodding slightly, Pan Guan replied in a low voice: "And the storage is something that must be guaranteed to be moisture-proof, such as . . . Firearms, ammunition and food. Then the question arises - who is going to carry out the storage of war materiel in such a place? Who has the ability to store these war materials in large quantities? ”

Almost without thinking, Bao Lei slowly stood up and hummed in a low voice: "It must be the tribal armed forces living nearby, who have used this as a storage point for supplies!" ”

Just stood up and took a few steps forward, Bao Lei stopped suddenly, and once again played the tactical sign language of 'stop advancing' to Pan Guan, who was following him, and while hanging down his arms, Bao Lei had already neatly pulled out a multi-functional sapper component from the combat item bag tied to his legs.

With his eyes widened, Pan Guan watched Bao Lei gently put the automatic rifle in his hand on his side, and then used his free hand to hold a steel wire between the two bushes from bottom to top, and slowly touched the end of the steel wire, and his heart was suddenly shocked - judging by the position where Bao Lei is now squatting, as long as he takes half a step forward, I am afraid that Bao Lei has triggered the tripping mine set in the bushes?!

The atmosphere didn't dare to watch Bao Lei take out a metal object the size of a Coke can from the root of a shrub, Pan Guan waited until Bao Lei re-locked the fuse on the mine, and then carefully touched Bao Lei's side under the guidance of Bao Lei's gesture to summon himself: "It seems that we guessed correctly?" ”

Nodding slightly, Bao Lei stretched out the trip-hair-type mine in his hand to Pan Guan's eyes: "The US military mine, but the trip-hairline component is Russian-style, and the fixed pile is directly exempted, an obvious DIY product, and the urgent style of the African tribal armed forces." ”

Raising his eyes to look at the open field full of shrubs of various colors leading to the abandoned building in front of him, Pan Guan said with some concern: "There is at least a hundred and fifty meters in a straight line from here to the building. If the building is all mined...... The black light is blinding, and when we slowly clear the mines and walk over, it is estimated that the sky is almost bright? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Bao Lei easily stuffed the mine that had locked the trigger fuse into the leg item bag: "Turn around and see what the boss said?" ”

Quickly turned around and returned to the position where Tang Guoming and the others gathered, Bao Lei took out the mine that was already a little rusty from the leg bag, and explained the situation to Tang Guoming in a few words. Almost as soon as Bao Lei's words fell, Pan Guan, who was squatting on the side, couldn't wait to whisper: "The situation in the building is still not clear, but we can't get close to investigate for a while. Boss, we can't just spend it in the rain, can we? Or...... We went in the direction of the evacuation of those Chinese on the farm, and searched on foot? ”

Looking up at the raindrops in the sky that were still falling densely, Tang Guoming slowly shook his head: "The black light is blind, the path is unknown, once we go the wrong way, the consequences of delaying time are equivalent to watching those Chinese who fled the farm die!" ”

Pan Guan: "It's not okay to go, it's not okay to stay, the road is unclear, the direction is unclear, so what should we do?" ”

Turning his face to look at the abandoned buildings that showed their silhouettes in the lightning from time to time, Tang Guoming hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice: "You say...... Since this abandoned building is likely to be a rainy season material storage point set up by the local tribal forces, what if you see something happen to this storage point...... What will they do? ”

His eyes lit up, and Bao Lei suddenly came to his senses: "The tribal armed forces in this place even robbed the food in the farm, which must be the path of the poor and crazy." As long as you see something happening at the material storage point, you will naturally be anxious to check the situation! When the time comes, let's grab a few tongues, they will be clear about the nearby terrain, and then we will have a living guide! It's even better if there's someone guarding the supplies in the building – there's no time to lose! ”

Slapping his thigh hard, Halbara said with some annoyance: "If we had known that there would be such a situation, we should have captured the prisoners on the farm just now, and it would have saved us the trouble here!" ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Tang Guoming reached out and patted the heavy combat backpack that Harbara was carrying on his body: "It's also to blame us for believing too much in those high-tech equipment!" Alrightβ€”let's make amends! ”

With a neat answer, Halbara jerked over his hand and grabbed the multiple rocket launcher with his back behind his waist, stood up and carried the multiple rocket launcher on his shoulder, and pressed the firing button hard!

In the midst of the rainstorm, high-explosive rockets fired from multiple rocket launchers dragged long tails of smoke headlong into a board-sealed window of an abandoned building. With a huge explosion, a large cloud of orange-red flames suddenly gushed out from the entire building!

Seeing the orange-red flames gushing out frantically from the doors and windows of the abandoned building, Tang Guoming and the others suddenly changed color, and hurriedly lay on the ground on all fours, covering their ears with their slaps, and at the same time opening their mouths as wide as possible.

At the moment after Tang Guoming and the others made a posture to avoid the blast wave of the explosion, an even more dull explosion sound had already sounded from the abandoned building. The entire abandoned building was torn apart by the dull sound of explosions. And Tang Guoming and others, who were lying on the ground to avoid the shock wave of the explosion, were so shocked by the explosion that they jumped up from the ground, and then fell back into the muddy ground again!

Struggling to turn his head to see the flames rising into the sky, a huge mushroom cloud rolled up in the dark night sky, Halbara muttered to himself, "These guys are stored here...... Is it oil? ”

As soon as the words fell, the wreckage caused by the various explosions that fell from the sky had already rained down on Tang Guoming and the others. Just glanced at a piece of animal debris that fell to his side, Pan Guan suddenly turned his head and shouted at Gu Weisu: "Fried liver, the unstable heat source you said has been found!" ”

Also glancing at the remains of the wild boar covered with dry soil, Gu Weisu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the mud covers the trunk of the wild boar, coupled with the impact of the thunderstorm, the heat source detector ...... Not so reliable? ”

Looking up at the location of the mines that were constantly being detonated by animals or building debris falling from the sky, Bao Lei also let out a long breath: "Now...... It is possible to get a rough idea of how the minefields around the buildings laid by these African tribal armed forces are distributed. ”

With a hard pull on the bolt, Tang Guoming stood up neatly: "Then what we have to do now is to wait for the anxious tribal armed forces to send them to the door by themselves!" ”
