Battlefield Contractor

Everyone is looking at the sky, looking forward to the rescue helicopter coming back soon. ; Unlike the others, Lin Rui didn't care too much about the sky, he just stared at the areas controlled by the rebels. He knew that now was the most dangerous time, and most of the mercenaries had already withdrawn. At this time, if the rebels and militants rushed over again, they would find it difficult to resist. But I don't know why, his worry has never become a reality.

Have the rebels decided to let them go? This is simply impossible. Lin Rui knew that these people were cruel and cruel, they were African warlords, and they didn't take human lives seriously. It is impossible to be kind to those who dare to offend them. Is it possible to remain silent while seeing their numbers decrease? The afterglow of the setting sun plunged into this quiet town from the top of the African mountain. The dangerous enemy on the opposite side was about to tear the silence at any time, and this group of lonely mercenaries seemed to be swallowed by darkness at any time.

Lin Rui felt even more uneasy thinking about this. He clenched the gun in his hand again, and habitually checked the scope and magazine. I don't know when he started, whenever he was nervous, he wanted to hold the gun. The solid and cold grip of the gun can make him feel at ease. He understood more and more why Ivan had to put a gun under the pillow when he was sleeping.

Suddenly a mercenary let out a cheer and the rescue helicopter came. At the edge of the town, the helicopter was slowly descending, reaching a certain height, and a roll of soft ladders was dropped on it. The mercenaries climbed up cheering. It wasn't until everyone had boarded the plane that Lin Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he was about to turn around and climb the rope ladder. He suddenly noticed that a person flashed out in the distance, with turbulent black hair dancing in the wind, and his eyes were dark and sharp.

Lin Rui almost fell off the rope ladder when he saw him. Lin Rui recognized this person, and counting this time, it was the third time he had come into contact with this person. Although he is not wearing a red hood now, Lin Rui is extremely sure that this is the red hood! On his shoulder was a shoulder-launched Sam air-to-air missile, and the indicator light was flashing red. Because the insurance has been opened, it is clearly in a state of firing at any time.

Lin Rui, who was still hanging on the rope ladder, suddenly raised his head and shouted at the helicopter pilot, "Go!" But the huge roar and air current from the helicopter directly swallowed his shout. Lin Rui watched the person in the distance calmly complete the target lock and launch, and his heart was desperate! He understands now. Why is the number of mercenaries decreasing, but these rebels and militants have been slow to take action. Because they are not in a hurry at all, they have a bigger plan to shoot down the entire rescue helicopter!

Lin Rui didn't hesitate, and immediately released the rope ladder and fell off the rope ladder. Falling heavily to the ground! This height is really big, making his body unstable. He had no choice but to contract his body quickly, and rolled over on the spot by inertia as a buffer. And almost at the same time, a huge explosion sounded above his head. The helicopter was shot down and is falling rapidly! And it landed near Lin Rui, the huge tail wing propeller flew by almost rubbing Lin Rui's body, and slammed into the soil heavily.

Lin Rui ran away, stumbled and ran out more than ten meters before turning over and rolling into a nearby ditch. The helicopter that fell to the ground and burned almost at the same time exploded again! With a loud noise, Lin Rui almost deafened, and the dust raised by the explosion buried his face.

Suffered! This time is completely bad. Lin Rui struggled to crawl out of the dirt ditch, and glanced at the burning helicopter wreckage and the scattered and fragmented corpses on the ground. There was a cramp in his stomach and a sudden urge to vomit. He stumbled to his feet, too late to pick up the weapon. Because he knew that the rebels would encircle soon, and if he did not leave now, he would never have a chance to leave again.

He struggled to run a few steps, then quickly dodged into the ruins of nearby buildings. His gps locator has long been lost, and he doesn't recognize this place at all. Only relying on the initial memory to turn back from the original road, withdraw to the intersection of the south of the town and the mining area. Because he knew there was no one here, the rebels must be busy celebrating their victory or clearing the battlefield. This is the only way he can leave the town quickly.

Lin Rui bent over, trying to minimize the possibility of being discovered, and ran desperately. He has rushed into the woods beside the road in the town, lying in the bushes and grass, breathing like wild animals. The highly tense nerves were relaxed, and now he realized how intense his pain was.

He looked down at his wrist and found that the wrist of his left hand was already bluish-purple, and it was swollen. It should be when he jumped from the rope ladder, he had vaguely made a hand-assisted ground support, so he sprained. He had bruises on both elbows, and there were blood stains on his face from the gravel on the ground.

"Fortunately, it is not on the leg, but on the left hand." Lin Rui gasped and muttered to himself. This is indeed a great fortune in misfortune, if he hurts his leg, his chance of escape will be gone. And if it hurts his habitual right hand. Then his hope of escape has to drop by at least 50%.

After a short breath, Lin Rui sat up with his back against a tree. The rescue helicopter had been destroyed, and all the mercenaries left in the end were killed. He wanted to report the news to Zhao Jianfei, but his tactical helmet had run out of battery. The communicator has no battery and cannot be used anymore.

Modern warfare, that's it. Communication, infrared night vision, satellite positioning, laser ranging. Nothing is separated from the battery. In the case of the US military, in a typical 72-hour mission in Afghanistan, a soldier carries as many as 70 batteries to maintain his own electronic equipment. The weight of the battery can account for 20% of the weight of a soldier. An infantry battalion spends more than $150,000 on batteries each year.

He gave a wry smile, where can he recharge his batteries in such a ghost place? Besides, even if he doesn't report now, they should know that something happened to the rescue helicopter. It's still important to escape quickly. Maybe you can contact them again after you escape from this dangerous area. Lin Rui habitually touched the gun, only to find that it had been lost just now, and there was no time to pick it up. Now he only has a knife and a self-defense m9 pistol. Lin Rui took out the pistol, and now his life depends on this gun. He found that his current situation was really embarrassing.

He was caught on the road between the rebel town and the mining area. If you want to go out, you have to go through the town alone. Lin Rui admitted that he didn't have this ability. He might have good skills and received strict training, but he was not an immortal. Let him use a m9 pistol to fight against hundreds of automatic weapons of the rebels.

Then there are two remaining options, one of which is to follow the original road through the valley and woods. But then he has to face the vast African wilderness alone. There is no gps, no sense of direction, alone in the African wasteland, and it is still an area controlled by armed warlords with wars. It didn't seem to be a wise thing, and when he came he noticed that it was extremely desolate. Without water and food, he could not last long in the wasteland.

The last option is the most helpless, but the safest option at present is to follow this road to the mining area. Although the area is actually controlled by the rebels and militants, their number should not be very large. Thinking about it, there are mostly miners and civilians. Most importantly, there are mines, people, food and water, and even electricity. There he can get supplies and even charge the battery.

After the battery on the tactical helmet is fully charged, he can leave the mining area and contact Danny or Zhao Jianfei to let them try to pick up himself. This is currently the safest and most secure way. Although there are many uncertain factors, it is safer and more practical than breaking into a rebel town or crossing the African wilderness alone.

Lin Rui touched the military water bag, there was no more water in it. The evacuation failed and was trapped in an area controlled by armed rebels, injured and lacking supplies. Is there anything worse than this? Lin Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, got up from the ground and continued to walk along the road. He did not dare to walk openly on the road for fear of being discovered. But in the woods on the side of the road, walking along the road to the mining area in front.

At this time, news of the destruction of the evacuated helicopter has been transmitted to the African branch. As the main communication server has been repaired, some video information has been transmitted back. The camera installed on the helicopter completely recorded the entire process of being shot down and crashed. From the arrival of the scheduled area to the destruction of the rescue helicopter, all a dozen mercenaries were killed, leaving the mercenaries in the African branch silent for a while.

Danny slowly turned around and said, "This is the last news we got. The rescue helicopter was shot down by a shoulder-mounted air-to-air missile. Eighteen people including two crew members were killed."

"So, Lin Rui is also dead?" Zhao Jianfei said with a melancholy expression.

"I'm afraid so." Danny patted his hand on Zhao Jianfei's shoulder and whispered, "I'm sad, he once saved all of us. But we still have to accept the facts. This is the life of a mercenary. Someone died, maybe one day it will be you and me."

"But I didn't find him in the video from the helicopter." Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"Maybe he is at the wrong angle, you didn't notice it." Danny shook his head. "The onboard internal camera also has dead spots."

Zhao Jianfei said calmly, "But the camera was facing the cabin door, I paid attention to it, and I never found him boarding. So I don't think he is dead yet."
