Chapter 232: Why are you counting down?
Jack drove a car, Jiejie sat in the passenger seat, holding his QBZ97 guard, and the other was driven by the fallen brother, and in the passenger seat was Gaspar, who was armed with an AK and had basically gained everyone's trust.
Although the two pickup trucks looked a little tattered, they were quite durable, and the passengers followed the example of the third brother and reluctantly stuffed their bodies into the rear compartment.
Anyway, after the previous arduous jungle trek, the smell on everyone's body is not too good, and no one should dislike anyone.
Coupled with the tragedy that he had just witnessed and the short but bloody firefight that followed, the passengers, including the three flight attendants, were a little uneasy, and no one had the extra heart to think about what they didn't have.
From the rearview mirror, I watched everyone pull me when they got on the bus, looking like they were helping each other, and several men also took the initiative to give up a slightly more comfortable position to women, and they were half-hung on the side of the car, Jack and Jiejie couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
This is the correct use of political correctness, after experiencing the imminent threat first-hand and witnessing the ability of the leader, no one will come up with the idea of breaking away from the group in a short period of time, let alone challenge the authority of the leader.
The two of them relied on their tacit understanding with each other, without too much communication, one to guide from the inside, and the other to deter by showing their own strength, and finally succeeded in forming a centripetal force in a group of strangers.
This is also a fairly successful psychological case, of course, the tragic encounter between the oblique couple and the bald old white man was also something that the two did not expect.
Jack took Gasparé back to the starting point, also with the idea of saving them if he could, after all, Shabi was not guilty of death, he really wanted to save him from being bitten back, and he also had a way to kill them.
However, these three were so unlucky, no one expected that such a large group of militants would come, and they would also carry heavy machine guns, even if Jack took the original Luke Cage, who had an immortal body, he still had to ask Captain America to borrow a vibranium shield before he dared to come to the rescue.
At this time, just after noon, under the scorching sun, the two pickup trucks moved forward and backward, along the dense rutted marks on the dirt road, heading due east, just in the opposite direction of the previous departure of the "Abu Zayev" guerrillas.
Luck aside, the captain of Brother Fallen is definitely competent, even at the moment of 100,000 panic during the forced landing, he can consciously observe the surrounding situation, and find the abandoned mine in the distance.
However, as the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, not to mention what it is seen from the plane, and the abandoned mine is at least 20 kilometers away from the plane landing point in a straight line.
And in order not to reveal their whereabouts, and at the same time for fear of alarming the guards of the mine, they could not drive the car directly into the mine.
After half an hour of driving along the bumpy dirt road, everyone got out of the car, and Jack and Gasparley drove on for ten minutes before hiding the two pickup trucks in the roadside jungle and returning the same way.
This is not an overactive move, the "Abu Zayev" organization has only captured two hostages of a whole foreign passenger plane, and it will never rest on its laurels.
Although the confession of the bald old white man misled them in the direction of their search, by tomorrow at the latest, the four missing militants will make them react, and I am afraid that the whole island will be full of locals searching for these foreigners.
Artificial cover-ups can't completely erase the traces left by a dozen people in the jungle, but junior high school geography told Jack that these tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia will have a torrential rain almost every day at one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
So he urged everyone to escape into the jungle as soon as possible, hoping that the ensuing rainstorm would cover his whereabouts to a certain extent.
Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education in my previous life, I saw that the abandoned mine was in sight, and the expected heavy rain also came as scheduled.
Although everyone was drenched, watching the footprints behind them disappear into the raindrops, everyone's hearts felt a little more secure, and they also had a little more admiration for the brave and "erudite" Officer Jack.
Heavy rain is the best cover, and in the sound of bean-sized raindrops, even the sound of gunfire can't reach too far.
Jack and Gaspar plan to take advantage of the rain to launch a surprise attack on the abandoned mine to clear out possible enemies, and this time Brother Fall also volunteered to participate, leaving only Jiejie, who has a pistol, and another young man to protect everyone.
The mine has a large footprint, but has a separate work area, a small four-story building surrounded by a barbed wire fence more than three meters high, which looks like a staff dormitory and office building.
The bandit named Lonu was right, it looked like it had been abandoned for a short time, and most of the barbed wire fence, though rusted, was mostly intact, with only a few breaches.
Jack even found an improvised trap in one of the breaches, with a clockwork-powered buzzer attached to it with a clear fishing line.
"Try not to make a sound, don't shoot until you have to, we don't know if that bastard lied about the number of guards."
Gasparé's stealth talent made him a natural pathfinder, and Jack barely caught up with him, let alone Captain Torrance, who was already middle-aged.
Seeing him turn around, Jack and Captain Torrance nodded, and by this time they had passed through the hole in the barbed wire fence and arrived at the door of the small building.
The gates are long gone, the concrete walls are riddled with bullet holes, there are still a few patina bullet casings in the corners, the glass windows on the first and second floors are almost completely shattered, and only a few rooms on the third and fourth floors remain intact.
The trio quickly searched the first floor, which was clean, except for a diesel generator found in a room with wooden bars sealing windows, and all that was left was rusty shelves.
Cautiously ascending the stairs to the second floor, where nothing but the disgusting smell of urine was found.
They continued to the staircase leading to the third floor, when suddenly there was a murmuring of conversation from upstairs.
Gaspar quickly stopped, raised his hand to signal to the two behind him, and Jack flashed and pulled Captain Torrance to hide in the room on the side of the corridor.
The voice grew louder and louder, accompanied by a heavy gasp, Jack remained motionless, looking at Gaspar, who was also hiding in the room across the hallway, only to see him poke his head down with great speed, and then raised three fingers to this side.
"Three enemies?" Knowing this, Jack pulled out the captured machete from his waist, and then saw one of Gasparé's three fingers suddenly bent down.
"Damn, why are you counting down?" Jack was dumbfounded.
