After chatting for a while, Vitak handed them a bottle of water, then turned to Lin Rui and said, "They are laborers who escaped from the mining area. The war is tight, and the rebels of the Free Liberation Alliance need a lot of financial support, so they increased the amount of money they needed. The mining intensity of each mining area. There is no large-scale machinery and equipment, and all rely on manpower. These people are exhausted every day, and some people can’t stand it anymore, and they start to run away.”

"Then why are they here?" Ivan frowned.

"This checkpoint is specially used to deal with them. Every day, the soldiers of the Free Liberation Union chase these escapees everywhere and send them to the nearby checkpoint. They used to be cruel to the laborers, and once they caught the escapees, they would Executed on the spot. But recently the situation has changed. Instead of shooting people, they arrest them and send them back. The miners there either die or continue to work until they die." Vitak shook his head and said.

"These guys, **** it." Ivan muttered.

Jiangan frowned and said, "If people are not shot, it shows that they are in short supply of labor. The production conditions in these mining areas are extremely poor, and there is no mechanical equipment. They rely on manual mining and excavation. Therefore, the number of people is directly related to the output of their mining areas. This may be It is also an opportunity for us.”

"What kind of opportunity?" Lin Rui frowned.

"While destroying the mine, we may be able to find a way to release these workers. Of course, destroying the mine can delay their production, but as long as these workers are there, they can continue to dig and gradually resume production. Once these workers are released, in In the absence of labor, this mine is really abolished." Jiangan pondered, "This is a way to draw wages from the bottom of the pot."

"I think this idea is feasible. To be honest, I can't stand their appearance." Ivan shook his head.

Those black laborers were so thin they were outrageous. They didn't know how long they hadn't eaten, and the wounds all over their bodies were inflamed and festering.

Lin Rui thought for a while and said to Vitak, "Let them go. Crossing Highway 7 is the territory of the government army. There are refugee camps set up by the Security Council there, with food and medical care, which may be able to save their lives."

Vitak nodded and said a few words to the black people, who almost all cried. Several people supported each other and walked away, but there was a black boy who did not leave. He kept saying something to Vitak.

"What's going on?" Lin Rui frowned, "Why didn't you leave after letting him go?"

Vitak smiled bitterly and said, "He said he wanted to join the government army, join us to kill the rebels, and rescue his family in the mining area."

"What does it have to do with us if he joins the government army and asks him to go to Harold? He escapes to the opposite government army-controlled area, and maybe he can survive. If he goes with us, isn't that courting death? Besides, his small body , following us is also a burden." Qin Fen shook his head. "And I think it's easier to blow up the mines. To save so many miners, then we'll have a head-to-head firefight with the Free Liberation Alliance. It's outside our mission, and there's no need to take the risk."

Vitak shook his head. "I want to save them. Maybe you're just for the money. But I'm a Santuyak, and they're my countrymen. We were enslaved by white colonists for hundreds of years, and now we're Dunbys. Such warlords are enslaved. Do you know what happened to them? In such mining areas, they have to work desperately to collect enough ore to exchange for food.

And once the mine is blown up, they will be forced to work harder. Because the rebels need to quickly restore the production of gold mines. Many miners will die. It may be the rebels who killed them, but it was us who killed them. "

"I'm sorry, but we can't change anything." Ivan shook his head and said, "As mercenaries, we have no choice. The importance of the mission always precedes our personal morality."

Lin Rui was silent for a while, then looked at Jiang Andao, "Actuary, what do you think?"

Jiangan said slowly, "I agree with what Ivan said. But maybe this time, there is no contradiction between the task and personal morality. If we destroy the mines and rescue the laborers in these mines. It will undoubtedly make the rebels The mine will not be able to resume production in the short term. That’s the original intention of our mission.”

Yelena nodded, "And from a practical point of view, if the rebels are busy chasing these fleeing laborers, they will be scattered. If their forces are scattered, they will not be able to effectively pursue us, and will have no effect on our next move. Benefit. After all, it's not just this mine that we're going to destroy."

"And this kid has worked in the mining area, so he knows the situation there. He is very familiar with the location of the mine. And since he can escape from there, he also has a certain understanding of the defense situation of the defenders, I still think we can bring Fuck him." Vitak explained, "He's smart and won't cause us trouble."

Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, if he's really that useful, you can take him with you. In addition, I want to make one point, once we successfully blast and rescue his family, he must leave. Because for him, The best outcome is to flee with his family to the government-controlled area in the north."

Vitak nodded and said, "I understand."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "What is this child's name?"

"His name is Ali." Vitak said.

"Well, Ali will leave it to you. You'd better make sure he doesn't die, otherwise I will regret this decision." Lin Rui waved his hand, "Qin Fen, Ivan, you guys Check a few nearby buildings to make sure there are no rebel survivors. If there are, they'll leak our whereabouts. I don't want to step into a rebel ambush as soon as we get to the mine.

Yelena, you are around. Xiao Peng, go check the bodies and rooms of these rebels to see if there is any other noteworthy information. Keep the radio on, and in ten minutes, come back and assemble. "

"Understood." Several people acted separately and quickly checked several nearby buildings and the items of the rebels. The members of the UFO team hit the road again after making sure there were no other valuable discoveries.

Ali, a black teenager, is somewhat silent and withdrawn, but at the same time shows an extraordinary stubbornness. He didn't say a word in the car, and he didn't even take a sip of the water that Lin Rui handed him.

"Vitak, tell this child that he is not a prisoner. Even a prisoner has the right to drink water." Lin Rui sighed.

"If you've been through what he's been through, you'll be less likely to trust people, especially foreigners with guns," Vitak said with a wry smile. Battlefield Contract Worker
