    This convoy was driving on the road in the distance and did not find Lin Rui and others lying low.

    Qin Fen whispered, "They are rebels from the Freedom and Liberation Alliance. They look like they have at least one company."

    Lin Rui nodded and whispered, "Don't make any noise and let them pass."

    The convoy did not stop and quickly left, leaving only billowing smoke and dust on the far driveway.  Lin Rui turned over and sat up, patted Jiang An and said, "Actuary, what do you think?"

    "It looks like they are the garrison in Hekou City, and according to their route, they are heading west. There is a bridge there that can lead directly to Highway 7." Jiang An thought for a while and said, "The rebels should have taken the bait.  These troops should be heading from the city to the mining areas around Highway 7. It seems that they have decided to strengthen the defense of the mining areas, and they even did not hesitate to transfer manpower from Hekou City."

    "This also just shows that the rebels' attention is focused along Highway 7. They never dreamed that we would suddenly turn east to Hekou City." Ivan nodded, "This should be good for us  It¡¯s a good thing, at least Hekou City¡¯s defense won¡¯t be too tight.¡±

    Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I think so too. Without further ado, let's set off."

    The members of the UFO team quickly geared up and set off, marching for more than 20 kilometers along the lowlands near the river valley.  When we arrived at the small farm that Vitak mentioned, we could already see Hekou City in the distance from here.  The gray-yellow building complex is like many ancient African cities, obscure and dark.

    Lin Rui and Ivan walked in front and slowly approached the small farm. This farm was only more than two kilometers away from Hekou City, but it was far away from the road, so it seemed a bit remote. It was just a farm by the river.  .

    The agriculture in Santuac is actually very poor. Most of the land is desert soil and ferro-bauxite, which is not even a bit worse than European black soil and Chinese loess. Even if there is some grass growing in the desert soil, even if the sky has eyes, the soil strength of ferro-bauxite can support a year at most.  Years later, after playing once, the land must be left fallow.  The precipitation situation is also very bad. There is no rain for half a year, and it is rainy for half a year. Most crops cannot bear it at all.  There are places where there is little rain and it is difficult for grass to grow, and there are places where there is a lot of rain and it is full of rainforest.  There is plenty of sunshine, but too much

    But there are still some farmers farming on this barren land. This small farm is an example. Because it is close to the river, the growth of plants is pretty good.  Although it is just a small patch of simple crops like corn and sugar cane.  But compared with the deserts in most areas, it already looks like a paradise.

    "Is it safe here?" Lin Rui asked a little warily.

    "I know the owner here. I used to stay here often. He is an old friend of mine." Vitak whispered, "Let's go through this cornfield and the row of huts in front of us is there."

    Lin Rui waved his hand and called on the team members behind him to follow him.  Together they walked to the row of simple houses, checked, and found that the houses were already empty.  This family has long gone to nowhere.  Maybe they were forcibly recruited, maybe they were captured as laborers, maybe they fled to the north.  The fate of civilians during war is never up to them.

    "Damn it. They are all gone." Vitak sighed.  "I hope they escaped."

    "I'm sorry, but maybe their situation is worse than you said." Lin Rui looked at the mess in the room and sighed.

    Yelena nodded and said, "Indeed, I found it outside. There were bullet marks on the wall. I'm afraid your friend is in danger."

    Whittaker was silent for a while and did not speak.  He just walked to the cabinets inside, opened one of them, and took out half a bottle of wine.  He sighed, "I gave this to them when I passed by here a few years ago. When I came back, they were gone. This is really an irony." A sadness flashed in his eyes.

    Ivan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, man. But we still have work to do."

    Vitak nodded, took out an old shirt from the closet and put it on.  He wanted to go into the city to explore the situation, and wearing this desert camouflage was really conspicuous.  It would be safer to change into civilian clothes.

    "Do you need to bring weapons?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked.

    "Forget it, the situation in the city is unclear now. If you go in with weapons rashly, you will easily attract attention." Vitak shook his head and said, "Besides, I just went to inquire about the situation. It might be more convenient not to bring weapons."

    Lin Rui nodded and said, "Be careful. No matter what situation you encounter, don't act blindly. We will wait for you here until eight o'clock in the evening."

    "If I haven't come back at eight o'clock, you'd better be careful when entering the city." Vitak whispered.

      "Are you okay?" Lin Rui patted his shoulder and said, "I know you must be sad now. But now is not the time to think about this. Don't be too impulsive when something happens. We will wait for everything together.  solve."

    Vitak nodded, took off his military boots, wore the old shirt barefoot, and walked out alone.

    Ivan closed the door and whispered, "Vitak's condition seems a little abnormal. Do you really want him to go alone?"

    "Let him go alone. He has experience and knows how to do it. Besides, his friend is missing and it is normal for him to be a little depressed." Lin Rui said solemnly.

    Ivan nodded and said nothing more.  In fact, he also understood that Vitak was the best candidate to go into the city for reconnaissance.  Firstly, Vitak is very familiar with this area. Another reason is that he is a black man, and after changing into civilian clothes, he completely looks like a local.

    "Then, we'll just wait here?" Qin Fen said helplessly.

    "Of course not. We must rest. There must be someone guarding the window upstairs, because you can see the road coming in from there. If someone comes in, we can detect it in advance." Lin Rui whispered.  "Starting from me, each person will take turns to be on guard for an hour, and the rest can rest. If Vitak goes well, we will try to sneak into the city tonight."

    Jiang An nodded and said, "Yes."

    Lin Rui looked at them and said, "Let's all take a rest. Qin Fen, please re-bandage Ivan's wound to prevent it from getting infected." After that, he took the weapon and walked up the wooden stairs and sat upstairs.  under the window, looking outside through the broken glass window.

    The midday sun was a bit dazzling. Lin Rui sat by the window and pulled down the turban on his head, letting himself breathe comfortably.  He wore this turban all the way to protect him from dust and sun exposure.  I don¡¯t know when this habit was formed, but it just comes naturally.

    If there is a mirror, then the image of myself in the mirror must be the image of a militant that I saw on TV news before.  Wearing camouflage uniforms, a dirty turban, and a shaggy face.  Lin Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly.
