Chapter 100 Broken Wings in the Air

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Everyone is looking at the sky, hoping that the rescue helicopter will come back soon.  Unlike others, Lin Rui didn't pay too much attention to the sky. He just stared at the areas controlled by the rebels.  He knew that now was the most dangerous time. Most of the mercenaries had already evacuated. If the rebels and militants rushed over again at this time, it would be difficult for them to resist.  But for some reason, his worries never came true.

    ¡°Have the rebels decided to let them leave?  This is simply impossible.  Lin Rui knew how brutal and ruthless these people were. They were African warlords and did not take human life seriously at all.  It is absolutely impossible to be merciful to those who dare to offend them.  Is it possible to remain silent while watching their numbers dwindle?  The afterglow of the setting sun casts over this quiet town from the top of the African mountain. The dangerous enemy on the opposite side is about to break the silence at any time, and this group of lonely mercenaries seems to be swallowed up by darkness at any time.

    Lin Rui felt even more uneasy when he thought of this. He clenched the gun in his hand again and checked the scope and magazine habitually.  I don't know when he started to want to hold a gun whenever he was nervous.  The solid coldness of the gun's grip could make him feel at ease.  He began to understand more and more why Ivan had to put a gun under his pillow when he slept.

    Suddenly a mercenary cheered, and the rescue helicopter arrived.  At the edge of the town, the helicopter descended slowly, and when it reached a certain height, a ladder was dropped from it.  The mercenaries cheered and climbed up.  It wasn't until everyone boarded the plane that Lin Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and climb up the rope ladder.  He suddenly noticed that a person appeared in the distance, with messy black hair dancing in the wind, and his eyes were dark and sharp.

    As soon as Lin Rui saw him, he almost fell off the rope ladder.  Lin Rui recognized this person. Counting this time, this was the third time he had come into contact with this person.  Although he is not wearing the red hood now, Lin Rui is extremely sure that this is the red hood!  On his shoulder was a shoulder-mounted SAM anti-air missile, the indicator light flashing red.  Because the safety has been turned on, it is obviously ready to fire 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 airflow from the helicopter directly swallowed up his cry.  Lin Rui watched the man in the distance calmly complete the target locking and launching, and his heart was filled with despair!  He understands now.  Why are the number of mercenaries decreasing, but these rebels and militants have not taken action yet.  Because they are not in a hurry at all, they have a bigger plan to shoot down the entire rescue helicopter!

    Lin Rui did not hesitate, immediately let go of the rope ladder and fell down from the rope ladder.  Falling hard to the ground!  This height was really too high, making his body unstable.  He had no choice but to quickly shrink his body and use the inertia to roll on the spot as a buffer.  And almost at the same time, a huge explosion sounded above his head.  The helicopter was shot down and was falling rapidly!  And it landed near Lin Rui. The huge tail propeller fragment almost flew past Lin Rui's body and slammed into the soil.

    Lin Rui ran away, stumbling out for more than ten meters before rolling over and rolling into a nearby ditch.  Almost at the same time, the helicopter that crashed to the ground and burned exploded again!  The loud bang almost deafened Lin Rui, and the dust raised by the explosion buried his head and face.

    Suffered!  This time it was completely bad.  Lin Rui struggled to climb out of the ditch and glanced at the burning wreckage of the helicopter and the mutilated corpses scattered on the ground.  There was a spasm in his stomach, and he suddenly felt the urge to vomit.  He stumbled to his feet, too late to pick up his weapon.  Because he knew that the rebels would surround him soon, and if he didn't leave now, he would never have a chance to leave.

    He struggled to run a few steps, and then quickly hid into the ruins of a nearby building.  His GPS locator had been lost a long time ago, and he didn't recognize this place at all.  Just relying on the original memory, he turned back from the original road and retreated to the intersection between the south of the town and the mining area.  Because he knew there were few people here, and the rebels must be busy celebrating their victory or clearing the battlefield.  This is the only way for him to quickly escape from the town.

    Lin Rui bent over, trying to reduce the possibility of being discovered, and ran as hard as he could.  He rushed into the woods beside the town road and crouched in the bushes and grass, panting like a wild beast.  The highly tense nerves were relaxed, and now he realized how severe his pain was.

    He looked down at his wrist and found that the wrist on his left hand was already blue and purple, and was highly swollen.  It must have been that when I jumped down from the rope ladder, I had a vague support movement with my hands, so I sprained it.  Both of his elbows were bruised, and there were a few bloody marks on his face from the gravel on the ground.

    ¡°??Not on the leg, but on the left hand.  Lin Rui gasped and muttered to himself. This is indeed a great blessing among misfortunes. If he hurts his leg, his chance of escape will be gone. And if he hurts his dominant right hand, then his hope of escape will at least be  Down fifty percent.

    After taking a short breath, Lin Rui sat up with his back against a tree.  The rescue helicopter had been destroyed, and all the remaining mercenaries were killed.  He wanted to report the news to Zhao Jianfei, but his tactical helmet had exhausted its battery.  The communicator has no battery and is no longer usable.

    ? Modern warfare, that¡¯s what it is.  Communications, infrared night vision, satellite positioning, laser ranging.  Nothing is possible without batteries.  Take the US military as an example. During a typical 72-hour mission in Afghanistan, a soldier carries as many as 70 batteries to maintain the operation of his or her electronic equipment.  The weight of the battery can account for 20% of a soldier's load.  An infantry battalion spends more than $150,000 a year on batteries.

    He smiled bitterly, where can I recharge my batteries in a ghost place like this?  Besides, even if he doesn't report it now, they should know that something happened to the rescue helicopter.  It's better to escape quickly. Maybe you can contact them again after escaping from this dangerous area.  Lin Rui reached for the gun out of habit, only to find that he had lost it and didn't have time to pick it up.  Now he only has a knife and an M9 pistol for self-defense.  Lin Rui took out the pistol, and now he relied on this gun to save his life.  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 get out, you have to cross the entire town single-handedly.  Lin Rui admits that he does not have this ability. He may have good skills and strict training, but he is not immortal against one hundred.  Let him use an M9 pistol to fight against hundreds of rebel automatic weapons. This is not a breakout at all, it is simply seeking death.

    Then there are two remaining options, one of which is to follow the original path through the valley and woods.  But then he would have to face the vast African wilderness alone.  Without a GPS or a sense of direction, I wandered alone in the African wilderness, an area controlled by armed warlords where wars were raging.  It didn't seem like a wise thing to do, and he noticed when he came that the place was extremely desolate.  Without water and food, he couldn't last long in the wilderness.

    The last option is the most helpless, but currently the safest option, which is to follow this road to the mining area.  Although it is also an area actually controlled by rebels and militants, their number should not be very large.  On the contrary, most of them were miners and civilians.  The most important thing is that where there are mines, there are people, there is food and water, and even electricity.  There he was able to get supplies and even recharge his batteries.

    After the battery on the tactical helmet is fully charged, he can leave the mining area and contact Danny or Zhao Jianfei to ask them to help him.  This is currently the safest and most secure way.  Although there are many uncertainties, it is safer and more practical than forcing a way into a rebel town or traveling alone through the African wilderness.

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

    At this time, the news that the evacuation helicopter was destroyed has reached the African branch. Since the main communication server has been repaired, some video information has been sent back.  The camera installed on the helicopter completely recorded the entire process of being shot down and crashing.  From the moment they arrived at the predetermined area to the time the rescue helicopter was destroyed, the sight of more than a dozen mercenaries being killed caused a deathly silence among the mercenaries in the African branch.

    Danny slowly turned around and said, "This is the last news we got. The rescue helicopter was shot down by a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile. All eighteen people, including the two crew members, were killed."

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

    "I'm afraid so." Danny patted Zhao Jianfei's shoulder and whispered, "I'm very sad. He once saved all of us. But we still have to accept the fact. This is the life of a mercenary, maybe every day  Someone dies, and maybe one day it will be you and me.¡±

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

    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s at the wrong angle and you didn¡¯t notice it.¡± Danny shook his head.  "The internal cameras on board also have blind spots."

    Zhao Jianfei said calmly, "But the camera was pointed at the cabin door. I paid attention and never found him boarding the plane. So I don't think it can be concluded that he was killed yet."
