Battlefield Contract Worker

A few days later, Lin Rui stepped into the African jungle with six team members and the female doctor accompanying the team. They successfully traversed the minefields of the African inland jungles and found their way through the dense tropical rainforests on the Congo River and inaccessible, often cornered, relying solely on satellites to identify directions.

The area where they were located was covered with muddy swamps for hundreds of kilometers, lush vegetation covered the sky, and the riverbanks were densely covered with ferns. There were many birds and beasts, poisonous snakes appeared, and the air was humid and hot. There are no roads here, and access to the hinterland is extremely difficult.

There are no tigers, lions, wolves and other beasts here; buffalo, orangutan, monkeys and other animals are not afraid of people. And the natural environment is extremely primitive, as if nothing has changed since the Mesozoic.

"How far is it to get to that **** destination?" Sergey said bitterly, "This place is almost like the planet of Pandora. Except for the tree, it's still a tree."

"And **** bugs and snakes." With the jungle machete in his hand, Jason chopped off a small green snake that was climbing a tree, which was an arboreal poisonous snake. They can often be found in the jungle.

"What are the people in this country doing, why can't they make a decent road?" Wang Haoze shrugged, "So we don't have to give up our off-road vehicles and hike in this rotten wood."

"The people here? The warlords are mostly busy fighting another warlord, and they generally think that war is more important than development. In fact, just maintaining this area, the United Nations will spend a lot of money a year, enough for them to build several roads. ." Kishi shrugged. "But our strong African brothers believe that a road for development is far less than a collection of guns that can be used for war."

Jason wielded the machete in his hand and made his way through the jungle. "But I have to say that this kind of travel is too slow, and we have to walk for a few days to reach the destination. It is hard to believe that in today's highly developed technology, our combat method has degenerated to before World War II, relying on dual The degree of foot walking.

Can't the U.S. military send a helicopter to help us through this **** jungle? You must know that during the Vietnam War, helicopters were already used to fight in the jungle and mountains. "

"They have done this. The US military used this method in the previous operations, but they all failed. The worst one was being hit by a Stinger anti-aircraft missile while flying at a low altitude. The helicopter exploded and disintegrated in the air, killing all crew members. ." Lin Rui said slowly, "The accident site is less than 20 kilometers away from us. Do you still rely on helicopters now?"

"That's right, no one knows what is in this jungle. The safest way is to investigate on foot, don't let any suspicious clues go." Jiangan agreed.

"But there is no way here. How did they get in and out?" Wang Haoze frowned. "And to set up a biochemical virus laboratory, they need a lot of material support."

"It is very likely that it is also by helicopter." Jason replied. "Or, there are other roads leading to their camp."

"Maybe." Lin Rui chopped down a piece of vine, then put away the knife in his hand, "Okay, Jason, rest for a while." Jason also put away the machete, sat down nearby, and added a little bit. water. Driving a road in the rain forest is a laborious task, and it is very physically exhausting for them.

Jiangishi whispered, "I don't feel right, it seems too quiet here."

"You are a suspicious Chinese." Sergey shook his head and said, "It's already deep in the jungle, and it would be abnormal if there was any movement."

"That's not what I meant." Jiangan frowned, "This is the tropical rainforest of the Congo Basin. There should be many birds inhabiting, but there are very few flocks of birds in this area."

"What does that mean?" Sergey frowned.

"Animals can easily form conditioned reflexes. If there are frequent human activities in this area, it will disturb the birds and make them look for other habitats." Jiangan said slowly.

"It makes sense. Especially if there are large helicopters taking off and landing, the huge roar is enough to make all the surrounding animals shy away." Lin Rui nodded, "I think we'd better strengthen our vigilance now. Maybe we have entered some key points. Area." His words made all the team members feel heavy.

After a short rest, they started to move forward. In a relatively open place in the jungle, Lin Rui suddenly stopped his feet and made a stop gesture behind him.

All the team members stopped, squatted on the edge of the bushes, and looked around alertly. "What's the matter, what did you find?" Jiangan whispered.

"No, it just doesn't feel right." Lin Rui whispered, "This open area in the jungle looks very abrupt."

He turned his head to look in front of him, but there was only a large open space. There are no overgrown trees and vines, but there is nothing special on the ground, just covered with leaves in the forest. "What's wrong?"

"According to this climate and precipitation, it's impossible not to grow plants here. This open space looks a bit unusual." Lin Rui said cautiously, "Maybe it's a trap. You all wait, I'll go take a look."

Jason nodded and lowered his voice, "Be careful."

Lin Rui slowed down and moved forward slowly, then crouched down and looked at the ground carefully. Suddenly he noticed a very thin and hidden line~www.readwn.com~ He couldn't help gasping for breath, tripping mine? ! No, it doesn't seem like it. More like some kind of trigger trap. He made a gesture backwards, and the team members got the signal and evacuated to both sides.

Lin Rui squatted down and looked at it, then frowned slightly. He can now be sure that this is not a landmine, and landmines will not use such a sophisticated tripwire structure. He moved the tripwires with the gun in his hand, and then the whole person suddenly jumped to one side, and almost at the same time, a row of sharply sharpened wooden stakes quickly fell from the top of his head.

Deeply inserted into the position where Lin Rui stood just now. The change took everyone by surprise. One end of these stakes was all sharpened, and stones were tied on both sides for added weight. The force that caused the fall was so great that it all fell into the soil in one fell swoop. If Lin Rui hadn't been prepared earlier, he would have been nailed to the ground by this row of sharp wooden stakes.

This is an impressively well-laid trap.

Lin Rui rolled over and got up from the ground, beckoned the other team members to come over, and squatted down to watch this weird trap together.

"Be careful, this is a tripwire trap, and it's done very delicately. Maybe there will be more nearby. From now on, everyone must be vigilant. Every step may be dangerous." Lin Rui whispered.
