But in any case, the accident had some impact on their actions. That's it. They had to go a long way to get to that oasis.

This is a small oasis, but many people gather here, including local herders from several tribes. Herding camels and goats in the desert is a chore. Many times, they can only rush from one oasis to the next. Bandits ran rampant along the way. In addition, the anti-terrorism situation in Africa is severe. Many terrorists are hiding in the desert. These people may become another group of bandits at any time. It has become an unwritten rule for these herdsmen to carry guns with them.

With the Berber language and knowledge of the local herdsmen's habits, Scimitar quickly struck up a conversation with these herdsmen. When it was mentioned that they wanted to exchange weapons for a batch of camels, several herdsmen were a little tempted. For them, the source of camels can be their own grazing, but weapons and ammunition are not self-sufficient. The amount of weapons and ammunition often determines the strength of a tribe. A tribe with more people and more guns can naturally occupy more resources in this barren desert.

Therefore, these herdsmen are quite interested in guns, and the machete can be considered as a good choice this time. Then, after a while of bargaining, this is also necessary for transactions between herdsmen. Usually the buyer has to stress that the camel is too thin and its teeth are too old. And sellers usually pat their chests out and promise that this is the best camel in the entire desert. In fact, they are all clichés, intended to test whether the other party is familiar with the market in order to suppress and raise prices.

The layman must know nothing about this, but Scimitar and a few other Tuaregs are of nomadic origin, and they know it well. After bargaining, it was decided to trade at the price of four AK47s for one camel. Generally speaking, the price is neither high nor low, but the weapons brought by Lin Rui and others are all brand new, and the bullets are packed in boxes that have not been opened yet. This is much stronger than the second-hand goods on the market whose rifling is almost worn out, and these herdsmen are naturally more satisfied.

A herdsman made a decision on the spot, and he was willing to trade two camels. Other herdsmen also expressed their willingness to trade.

Lin Rui looked at the camels of these herders and couldn't help shaking his head. Some camels were really thin. But Scimitar is an expert, he told Lin Rui in a low voice, "You come to choose camels later, these herdsmen will definitely say that you can choose casually, but in fact they will let you choose some who are too old and can't run. I will secretly help you choose, don’t worry.”

With the help of Tuareg people such as Scimitar, they quickly selected camels and then took these herders back to pick up the goods. At the crash landing site of the plane, the herdsmen left happily holding guns and bullets. Lin Rui and others exchanged for a camel team. With the camel, the next thing is much more convenient. Some equipment can be carried by the camel. They took the pilot and others who stayed behind and went all the way to Arguinite.

Western Sahara itself is vast and sparsely populated, and it is normal to walk all day without encountering a single person. Armed elements of the Frente POLISARIO are concentrated in several major cities. With their military strength, they cannot conduct law enforcement inspections at major intersections. It didn't take much effort for the camel team to enter Arguinite. Because it is a place with a lot of people nearby, many herdsmen will come here to trade and purchase. Many of these armed men are also from herdsmen, and they are no strangers to these things.

Lin Rui and others also followed some herdsmen, camped nearby, and then entered the city to inquire about news. After entering the city, Lin Rui realized that this place is indeed a ghost place where birds don't shit. It is said that it is a city, in fact, even many domestic towns are more stylish than this place, and there are khaki buildings everywhere. There is hardly much concrete pavement, many are dirt roads, and few cars can be seen. Even if a few battered trucks whizzed past, most of them were military vehicles of militants.

It's almost normal for pedestrians to walk around with guns on their backs. In this kind of place, it's almost embarrassing to go out without a gun and say hello to people. These herdsmen are even more dressed in long robes and carry machetes.

After the team members settled down, Lin Rui first arranged for two pilots to evacuate. They were not combatants, and they were neither obligated nor capable of participating in such combat operations. Leaving them, in addition to killing themselves, will also bring unexpected trouble to the team's rescue operations.

After sending off the pilot, the Tuareg mercenaries such as Scimitar were in charge of inquiring about news in the city. Because most of the people here are of Arab ethnicity in Northwest Africa, they are easier to deal with.

By noon, Scimitar and others came back one after another. Separately reported the news they had inquired about in the city.

"There seem to be more militants in the city than before, and they seem to have more vehicles than before." Scimitar whispered, "I heard that the city is talking about their record in Mauritania. I heard that , In that attack, they also used several large rocket launchers. These militants were not so lavish before. There are some heavy artillery, but in the Gaddafi era, the Libyans assisted them. It seems that this time they found a new There are even rumors that they may launch a counter-offensive against Morocco in the near future and retake part of the territory.”

"Where's Gu Lei, the black panther? Is there any news about him?" Lin Rui whispered.

"There is no special news about him, but I have already heard that almost all the important criminals in the city are detained in a prison designated by the Polisario Front." Scimitar whispered. "This prison is on the outskirts of the city and is a place dedicated to special criminals by the Frente POLISARIO."

"Special criminals?" Lin Rui frowned. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Actually, they are hostages, or prisoners of special value." Scimitar said in a low voice. "This prison is different from ordinary places. It is easy to not accept people. Of course, it is difficult to get out after entering. But I heard that someone has been detained in it recently. The time of the detention is basically the same as the time when the black panther Gulei was arrested. Get it."

"Okay. I need the specific situation of this prison. In addition, we need to contact the headquarters. First, let them go to the Moroccan control area to pick up the two pilots. Second, ask Angel if his local relationship can still be used. Come on, we need more information. After all, what we heard is not as good as what the locals know." Lin Rui nodded.

"I'll contact headquarters right now." Sausage nodded.

"But do we have to wait until the headquarters responds to the message before we can act?" Crazy Horse frowned, "Can't we do anything here during this time?"

"Make other preparations to understand the location and internal structure of the prison to facilitate our rescue." Lin Rui nodded.
