Chapter 542: Unlucky Ground Crew

Although the season in southern Africa has just entered early summer, the temperature has risen to 30 degrees Celsius under the scorching sun at midday. What's worse is that it is the rainy season, and the sweltering heat before the rain makes the full-time ground crew of the A-10 attack aircraft even more irritable.

"Quick, quick, put the canopy up, make it like this, well, yes, that's it, and tilt it five degrees to your left!" A rough ground worker in a greasy vest is directing his companion to build a tarpaulin slope to collect rainwater.

Although there is no shortage of water in the savannah during the rainy season, it is only for animals and plants that have no requirements for the quality of water, and you would dare to pour some muddy liquid from the grassland pond into the water tank of your car, but who would dare to deal with the water mixed with animal excrement?

Even in their spare time, these ground crews have watched countless wilderness survival programs, and they have heard the great gods swear that the water is basically harmless after filtering and heating, and that is, when there is still a choice, none of them can drink the muddy water from the pond that the lions and zebras have frequented.

Not long ago, these seven ground crews also contacted the gang of rough embryos who occupied the airport, and when asked if there were enough weapons for self-protection, the ground crew looked confused, and immediately asked if you mean that there are enough weapons to drive away lions, leopards, hippos and other beasts?

When they were told that they were at war with the British, and that the airfield had just repelled an attack of 2,000 troops from the Opium Cow Organize, these rough embryos that had been used as second-class ground workers in the dome light curtain immediately exploded!

It is no exaggeration to say that after the end of the shrunken version of the recruit training, they have been dealing with things like wrenches, and their combat power cannot be compared with those who are soldiers in Israel at all, even if they are girls!

Even if it's hard work, then we are also the hard force of Eagle Sauce and other people, isn't it, there is no air force search and rescue team to catch us, we all admit it, but what the hell is the situation of that "warthog" that has been eating us and drinking us?

After receiving the position where the ground staff were trapped from the airport, Yang Xiaochen rushed to the scene very easily, after all, she would have to look up to others in the future.

Although the A-10 is not known for its speed, it is still easy to figure out the situation around this group of ground crew, as the pilot sister saw that there are no other hidden dangers around this group of rough embryos except for herds of wild animals that can pose a threat to their lives for the time being.

The reason why the crossing people want to use the word trapped to describe the situation faced by the seven ground crews is nothing more than that their current location is separated from the airport by a railway controlled by the British.

Although the A-10 attack aircraft had just destroyed a British railway junction, according to the ground intelligence provided by the Boers, due to their repeated attacks on the British railway facilities, the British had formed a similar rapid reaction force, and if a railway was sabotaged, this force would rush to the scene in a train loaded with 4.7-inch naval guns to repair the railway and prevent the Boers from destroying it again.

That is to say, if these lifeless ground crews were to slowly cross the railroad in those airport transports loaded with bits and pieces and on ridiculously low ground, they would be confronted at any time by the kind of armored trains that the British had come to patrol and build the roads.

Fortunately, the pilot's circle was not in vain, and immediately pointed out the place for these uncles who could loosen a screw for themselves at any time in the future - a bush that was enough to cover their whereabouts.

Fortunately, the camouflage tarpaulin rationed by the "director team" was not only waterproof and sunproof, but its coating was also close to the surrounding environment, enough to confuse the British reconnaissance planes and the patrols on horseback in the distance.

After seeing the power of the NATO 9mm Parabellum bullets in the hands of the people, the Boer Sneijder bluntly said that those ground crews with only two MP5 submachine guns had better not provoke the large animals on the grassland, even if they were large herbivores, because this kind of pistol bullets with poor stopping power are very likely to be unable to stop them from harming the shooter in time after provoking the large animals.

This means that this group of ground crews who do not have individual rations in their personal equipment will be hungry and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, and even the idea of hunting small herbivores has been forbidden by Lu Xiangyang, for fear that the smell of blood will attract the peep of carnivores, after all, the commuter vehicles at those airports are semi-open, and I am afraid that even the attack of a baboon will not be able to resist it.

"Hey, I said, why hasn't it rained yet? I've been watching this rain cloud gather for a long time, and my buddies are so thirsty that their throats are on fire! A ground worker said as he looked at the sky through the cracks in the branches of the bushes.

After arriving at this bush, the seven ground crews first equipped the vehicles with camouflage, and then used branches and thorns to build a number of fences to prevent wild beasts.

However, the rainfall in the savannah rainy season is said to come, and if it doesn't, it doesn't come! Even if you see dark clouds in the sky, but if it doesn't give you a drop of rain, you can't do anything.

"I've got two pieces of chocolate that I usually use to fight my hunger at work, and whoever is too hungry to stand it will come and get me some." After all, it's an old guy who has been working and living together for two years, and a rough embryo took out his ballast cargo to share with others.

"You can keep it for now, and when the water is dissolved later, everyone can drink some cocoa syrup." Now that my saliva is sticky, I can't be uncomfortable if I eat chocolate again! A rough embryo said.

However, the bad luck of the bitter ground crew was still continuing, and the mountain troops on horseback sent by Lu Xiangyang informed them with walkie-talkies that they had to stop on the way to the rescue due to the heavy rain, and this news made several grumpy ground workers who were mildly dehydrated scolded their mothers directly.

"Why don't we learn to burn some charcoal and filter that kind of pond water?" A rough embryo suggested.

"They were all teleported while working in the hangar, who the hell can carry fire on them?" A rough embryo replied.

"How stupid are you, you can't use the car battery to short-circuit to make a spark!?" Another rough embryo joined the discussion.

"Which dog said that the water was too dirty to drink, and now is it the rhythm of going back to the small pond to fetch water?" Apparently they had just poured the slightly sedimented pond water into the car's water tank.

After waiting for half an hour in boredom, the ground crew, who still couldn't expect rain, decided to send someone back to the pond they had passed to fetch water.

Three rough embryos, who were not very dehydrated, volunteered to take on the water fetching operation, and they left the bush and headed for the pond they had encountered with one of their MP5 submachine guns and a small cart that was supposed to be used to push aerial bombs.

However, their bad luck did not get better with the decision to drink muddy water, and when the three ground workers walked back to the pond under the scorching sun, they found that the small pond had been overrun by several lions.

Within the field of view of these three rough embryos, a huge male lion with at least three lionesses soaked in the shallow water of the pond to cool off.

Since they had been told that the 9mm Parabay pistol bullets were not effective in stopping the attacks of large animals, the three unlucky ones could only watch the lions play in the water from a distance and did not dare to move forward.

"Grass mud horse, it's not a way to wait like this, why don't we shoot two shots to scare and scare those big insects?" Said a rough embryo who was waiting impatiently.

"Du Nima has received nine years of compulsory education, why are you so brainless, have you watched "Animal World"? Maybe there are a few big insects hiding in the grass that I can't see clearly, and if there are lion cubs, those lioness won't have to fight with us? A rough embryo said.

"So what are you waiting for? It would have been better to hide in the woods and wait for the rain to fall. The rough guy who proposed to shoot the lion away said.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Just as the three ground crews were struggling with whether to fire a gun to scare the lion, three crisp gunshots came, and it seemed that someone was already impatient enough to make the first move on the other side of the pond.
