After several hours of non-stop bumps and flying dust, the members of the UFO team finally arrived in this small town. It is Africa's poorest country and suffers from a lack of infrastructure. The road problem is serious. There are only a few roads paved with asphalt in the entire town. In most areas, the road is just a dirt road pressed out by the wheels. Its boundaries are blurred and covered with thick dust. Any car passing by will kick up dust all over the sky and look like a road of dirt from a distance. The long, lustful dragon seemed to be trying its best to swallow up the entire car, with only the front of the car barely escaping.
When they arrived, it was getting dark, and the lights in the town flickered on and off, and even suddenly turned dark, because the power supply was always insufficient. In order to avoid alerting the rebels, they parked their car outside the town and walked towards the town in the dark. Several African women walked towards me. They had dark skin, plump figures, and eye-catching wide and upturned buttocks. They looked like the most typical local black women.
Lin Rui and others all covered their faces with sand-proof hoods and gray-yellow cloaks, thinking silently and quietly. They were dressed like armed men that are common in this area, but they didn't hold the guns in their hands in a showy manner. No one paid attention to them. The locals ignored these outsiders because they were insignificant in their eyes. Other than selling goods to them, these villagers paid no attention to them.
It seems not that safe here, Zhao Jianfei warned team members not to act alone. People were coming and going in the small town, but it was different from the villages and towns I had visited before. There was a kind of restlessness in the air, and the eyes of the young people were no longer peaceful, and they felt cruel and cold-blooded. On the street, armed men with live ammunition walked by from time to time.
Every time, Lin Rui was under the cloak, holding the gun nervously. However, these armed men did not seem to stop them for questioning. These armed rebels were similar to militiamen and did not have much vigilance. The roads leading to other towns were blocked anyway, and it was getting late, so they had little interest in questioning strangers.
Whitaker walked ahead and brought them to a shack in this small town.
"Is this right here?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
Vitak nodded, then raised his hand to knock on the door. The owner of the room seemed to be dissatisfied and cursed before coming out and opening the door. But when he saw clearly that it was Vitak, he laughed and hugged him. This is a middle-aged black man who is a bit fat. To be honest, not many people in this country are that fat. Lin Rui always felt that this man looked a bit like a black rapper, especially the pigtails on his head, which made him look a little weirder.
But after seeing Lin Rui and others, this man immediately became nervous again and picked up the gun on the table. Vitak quickly stopped him and whispered something to him. He frowned slightly, then became happy again, and even came over and hugged Lin Rui like old friends. "I like Chinese people." He patted Lin Rui's arm and said loudly in English.
"This is the friend I'm talking about, Josh." Vitak said to Lin Rui and Zhao Jianfei.
Zhao Jianfei nodded, but winked at the other people. Ivan, Qin Fen and others understood, immediately walked out, and stood guard outside the shack.
The black man seemed to be very enthusiastic and said a lot to Lin Rui and Zhao Jianfei. He told them that there was a railway nearby that was built in the 1960s and 1970s. The people who built this railway were all Chinese, so he liked the Chinese very much.
Lin Rui asked Zhao Jianfei in a low voice, "Is there a railway built by the Chinese here?"
"Maybe it's because of a certain construction project to aid Africa. Back then, the Chinese spared no effort to help our African brothers. However, it took so long that it is rarely mentioned now. Coupled with the frequent wars, these aid projects back then Construction projects. Some have been almost destroyed. After the Chinese have forgotten, an African still remembers. We are often like this, forgetting things easily." Zhao Jianfei said slowly.
Lin Rui was silent for a while and did not speak. After hearing Vitak's explanation of his purpose, Josh hesitated. He looked at Zhao Jianfei and Lin Rui and said, "The Free Liberation Alliance occupied this place three weeks ago. They have established a blockade and completely blocked it. The road to the south.¡±
"We passed through several villages and towns before, but there were almost no people there. Where are the local residents? Why are several nearby villages and towns completely empty?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"They were all forcibly escorted to the south. Because the north is the territory of the government army, these villagers are regarded as loyal to the government army. Some of the resisters were not slaughtered, while the rest were transported to the mining areas in the south to work. Or they can be replenished as soldiers and forced to go to the battlefield to fight against the government forces. It is said that this is an opportunity for them to prove their loyalty." Josh smiled bitterly, "Actually, they are just villagers.? There are even children who have not been trained at all and are used as cannon fodder. After going to the battlefield, only a handful of them can come back. "
"This is the practice of some old-school warlords, who seize the rebels as laborers or forcibly recruit soldiers. However, it is rarely done so thoroughly, unless" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Unless what?" Lin Rui asked.
"General warlords also arrest people, but they rarely move entire villages and towns. They just come and arrest people when they need labor or soldiers. They didn't do it as thoroughly as General Demby did this time. They forcibly moved everyone away. ." Zhao Jianfei said.
"Yes, I feel a little strange too." Josh nodded.
"Could it be that the walls are strong and the wilderness is clear?" Lin Rui frowned. "The battle between the rebels and the government forces is at a critical moment, but the rebels have now begun to show signs of decline. General Demby simply relocated the entire population of some small towns on the front line and burned all the houses, leaving a blank field for the government forces. "
"There is also this possibility, but I am more worried about another possibility." Zhao Jianfei looked at Lin Rui and said, "You know, those five hundred kilograms of VX poison. Once spread on the battle front, it will definitely be corpses." Across the wilderness.¡±
Lin Rui was taken aback, shook his head and said, "If that's true, the problem would be huge. Then why would he relocate ordinary villagers? Judging from his cruel methods of dealing with those villagers, he is not someone who cares about the people. people."
"You don't understand these warlords. In their view, people are also a resource, just like gold and diamond mines, but a little cheaper. Fighting requires soldiers, and mining requires labor. General Demby is not willing to let these people follow. The spread of VX poison caused everyone to die. In his opinion, these ordinary people are still useful to him. This also proves that the use of VX poison is already within his plan. As long as the war situation worsens, he is likely to use Use this poison to deal with the Harlot government troops." Zhao Jianfei said with a serious expression.
