Chapter 9: The Ironic Way of Death
It was only when the group of government officers and soldiers had gone far that Wang Dong got out of the grass and dragged Morty, who was unable to walk because he had broken his right leg, into the river. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After drifting more than 10 kilometers, Wang Dong went ashore on a shallow river bay.
This is West Africa, where there are no ferocious Nile crocodiles in the river, there are just blood-sucking leeches.
Going down the river not only saves effort, but also leaves no traces.
What's more, Morty's lair, Kenema, is in the upper reaches of the river.
The mercenaries were clearly coming for Morty, and would have taken it for granted that Morty would flee back to Kenema, and would keep a close eye on the upper reaches of the river.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Wang Dong only had a few weapons on him and no other items.
"Wang, I blame you by mistake."
Wang Dong was slightly stunned and sat up. Although he was going down the river, he used a lot of physical strength to prevent Morty from being swept away by the current.
"Before, I didn't think you would be willing to die for me and keep guarding against you." Morty sighed. "I didn't think that you saved me."
"It wasn't me who saved you, someone betrayed you."
"Betrayal?"
"Who wasn't in the camp when the enemy attacked?"
"Zelaya ......"
Wang Dong nodded and said, "In the afternoon, when you asked him to go to Kenema, I felt that something was wrong with him, but I didn't expect that he would betray you." ”
"Zelaya has been with me for more than ten years, and when I was a child, he was ......"
"Can you guarantee it?" Wang Dong glanced at Morty and said, "When the attack took place, the enemy first attacked the barracks with rockets, and all the people who lived in the barracks were your loyal men. Next, the enemy attacks the house with missiles, and it's the middle one you're in, not on either side. In addition, the enemy must have known that there were only two heavy machine guns in the camp, so after destroying the machine gun fortress, two helicopter gunships dared to hover over the camp with impunity. If he hadn't been betrayed, how would the enemy know this? ”
"If that's the case, he should have agreed immediately when I asked him to go to Kenema."
"If he hadn't gone to Kenema, he'd have shot you in the head when the enemy attacked, and I wouldn't have had anything to do."
When Wang Dong said this, Morty gritted his teeth, not because of the pain in the injury, but because of anger.
"Don't think too much, it's useless to think about it." Wang Dong let out a long breath and said, "Take a good rest for a while, we can't stay here for long." ”
"Wang, you are more powerful than I thought."
"Humph......"
Wang Dong snorted coldly and didn't answer, because he had already guessed what Morty was going to say.
"Let's fight back together and take back what belongs to us. I promise that everything will be divided equally with you in the future, and you will rule here with me, and we will ......"
"Morty, do you know where those mercenaries came from?"
Morty's brow jumped a few times and he closed his mouth as well.
"That's right, they were invited by Johnson, and they came to stand up for Johnson.
It's just that Johnson is a bastard who will pee his crotch when faced with a gun.
A man like him is at most a low-level arms dealer, and there must be a powerful arms dealer above him.
Besides, how can a small arms dealer bring in a mercenary army with helicopter gunships and extremely strong combat effectiveness?
Zelaya betrayed you, more for self-preservation than to replace you.
Even if he hadn't betrayed, there would have been another traitor.
To put it mildly, you're out, so give up on this unrealistic idea.
Now it's time to think about how to save your life. ”
Morty's facial muscles twitched a few times, and his burned cheeks looked hideous and weird.
He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't refute it.
"You rest here, I'll go get something to eat."
"Wang ......"
"I saved you, and I won't leave you alone."
In fact, Wang Dong was already planning to leave Morty behind, because he didn't want to die for Morty's ambitions, and because he knew that he was not an opponent of the huge arms group.
He hadn't left Morty yet, just because Morty had definitely left a way back for himself, maybe a sum of money, maybe some hiding place, maybe a person.
Whatever it is, it will definitely help Wang Dong.
There is a lot of food in the jungle, such as a variety of fruits.
However, only a few are edible.
What can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, Wang Dong relies on instinct to discern.
First of all, you have to fill your belly, and then take the rest back to Morty.
"Bang-"
Hearing the gunshots coming from the other side of the river, Wang Dong was startled.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Gunfire rang out again, with a total of seven shots fired in front and back.
Wang Dong did not hesitate, and immediately ran quickly towards the river beach.
It was the sound of M1911A1 gunfire, and the magazine of such a pistol could only hold seven rounds.
Soon, Wang Dong returned to the vicinity of the river beach.
After seeing it clearly, he immediately froze.
On the river beach, a scrawny female leopard lies next to Morty, gobbling it up, along with two small leopards that are several months old.
Morty was dead, his neck shredded and blood spilling all over the floor.
A generation of heroes, warlords who have occupied this place for several years, turned out to be a dinner for leopards!
That's ironic, isn't it?
Wang Dong wanted to rush up and kill the leopard, but he knew that there was no point in doing so, it was just a hungry beast.
The gunfire attracted not only Wang Dong, but also others.
Hearing a slight sound coming from behind, Wang Dong held his breath.
When he rushed back, he was worried that the enemy was catching up, so he chose an extremely dense bush and hid it very secretly.
At this time, the leopards on the river beach also heard an unusual sound.
Probably full, the mother leopard barked a few times at the two baby leopards, and then swaggered into the dense forest.
The two little leopards hadn't eaten yet, but when they saw their mother walking away, they had to reluctantly chase after them.
It's the dry season, and it's not easy to get a full meal.
It's not the dry season, and leopards don't go near water sources to feed.
Four people came from behind, their steps were very slow, their feet were very light, and the sound they made was so faint that they could not be heard at all if it were not at night.
At this time, Wang Dong found that there were several enemies on the other side of the river.
Not to mention moving, Wang Dong didn't even dare to come out.
He was surrounded, and if he was found, he would surely die without a place to bury.
On the opposite bank is a steep slope several meters high, and the tree line is about twenty meters from the river bank.
Only after several companions on the other side of the river had taken up a vantage point did one of the enemies emerge from the dense forest and walk towards Morty's body.
Exactly the mercenary who attacked the camp before!
It's not easy, I caught up so quickly!
At this time, a mercenary came to Wang Dong's side.
Wang Dong didn't dare to move, and when the other party approached and stopped outside the bushes, he rolled his eyes and glanced at it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
That guy was a sniper, holding an M21SWS semi-automatic sniper rifle, responsible for covering others, and had been vigilantly watching the situation on the other side through the scope, not paying attention to the bushes next to him, and not finding Wang Dong, who was less than three meters away from him.
On the riverbank, the mercenary examined Morty's body and waved his hand at his companions on both banks.
At this time, gunshots were heard in the dense forest on the opposite bank.
It's far away, but it's definitely gunshots.
