Latakia is not a completely quiet place either. Government forces often use armed helicopters to engage in firefights with opposition forces, further escalating conflicts in recent days. Artillery fire can be heard in many places and the fighting has spread to areas surrounding the city.
Rumors of fierce clashes between government forces and opposition forces can be heard everywhere, including artillery fire and explosions in nearby streets. The city is filled with smoke, and armed helicopters are bombing and clearing the opposition.
Government troops also blocked several streets in the city and set up several checkpoints. Many local residents have fled their homes, the streets are almost deserted, most shops and restaurants have been closed, except for overcrowded hospitals.
It took Lin Rui and Yelena a long time to find a temporary hospital and hastily sutured the wounds on their backs. There were injured people everywhere, both soldiers and civilians. The doctor who sutured the wound had been working continuously for a long time. He had forgotten how many patients he had to deal with in a day. He was so busy that no one had time to count. Even the outpatient registration desk has been eliminated because a few more beds could be added there.
Even hospitals are not safe places and are often attacked. Most of the hospital building was destroyed by artillery fire. It is said that it was a rocket attack by the opposition, and some said it was accidentally bombed by the US military in an air strike against terrorists. In war-torn areas, everything is in chaos. The language is confused, the thoughts are confused, and even the behavior is confused.
Government tanks roamed the streets, pedestrians hid in narrow alleys, and opposition snipers were everywhere. I don't know when the cold shot will go off.
Even though he was used to seeing killings and chaos in Africa, Lin Rui could only smile bitterly when facing all this, "It's such a dirty place."
"It's not only dirty, it's like hell, but it's a paradise for mercenaries." Yelena patted Lin Rui, "How are you?"
"Much better." Lin Rui nodded.
"Then we should go." Yelena said, "We must find a way to contact Cobain. What suggestions do you have?"
Lin Rui smiled slightly and said, "Find a bar, you know."
Yelena knew what Lin Rui meant by the bar. It was not an ordinary bar, but a place where mercenaries gathered. Soon they found such a place. This kind of place was actually not difficult to find. They were mercenaries themselves and knew how to find such a place.
This type of bar where mercenaries gather is usually close to the army because it is safe. But those who can get drunk inside are usually mercenaries. They do not have much military discipline, and the life of licking blood with a knife tip is extremely stressful for them. After completing the mission, most mercenaries will get drunk here, find women, and gamble. This is a messy place, and they are a bunch of messy people.
But one good thing here is that you can usually buy what you want. From in-demand cigarettes to weapons, ammunition and other gear. As long as you are willing to pay, there will definitely be someone willing to make money from you.
After Lin Rui and Yelena walked in, all the mercenaries looked at them. Because it was their first time here, they were a little unfamiliar. In addition, there are very few Chinese people like Lin Rui here, and stunning beauties like Yelena are even rarer.
So as soon as they walked in, people immediately gathered around them. A big white mercenary came over, looked at Yelena and said, "Hey, girl, do you want to play?"
"Go away, if you don't want me to stuff your head into your butt." Yelena said coldly.
The mercenary was obviously unable to stand down amid the roar of laughter and numerous whistles. He walked up and grabbed Yelena's wrist, but Lin Rui twisted the mercenary's hand before he could and pushed him down on the bar. A cold light suddenly appeared, and the dagger in Lin Rui's hand was heavily inserted into the wooden bar. The blade was less than one centimeter away from the mercenary's face.
The smiles on the faces of these mercenaries suddenly froze. They were all people who had experienced life and death fighting and were very experienced. But even they didn't see this man's movements clearly. In almost an instant, this East Asian, who did not look strong, completed the action of subduing him and knocking him down, and then casually hit him.
As long as the blade is slightly deflected, it will be the mercenary's carotid artery. Lin Rui's movements were done in one go, without any sloppiness. But those who watched it couldn't help but sweat.
"You'd better learn to be obedient." Lin Rui looked at the big mercenary and said calmly, "Otherwise, you won't need these ears."
The atmosphere in the bar was a little quiet, and the bar owner immediately came out to smooth things over, "Listen to me, man, he just drank too much. Everyone is here to relax, there is no need to make it so tense. Why don't you let him go and let me Buy you a drink. And I can?Promise that no one will harass this lady again. "
"Very good." Lin Rui raised his hand to shake the mercenary away, turned to the boss and smiled slightly, "I want to use the phone."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. You know that the recent war has been very tense, and the lines have been severely damaged. Local mobile phone communications have been paralyzed. Not to mention international lines, unless you use a satellite phone." The boss took two cups and put them on On the table, two glasses of wine were poured, "These two glasses are for me."
"Then get me a satellite phone." Lin Rui picked up the glass and drank it down.
The boss shook his head, "I'm afraid this is also very difficult. If you need weapons or other things, I can think of a way. But as you know, satellite phones are not a necessity here."
"Then, let's think of a solution. We need it today." Yelena looked at him and smiled slightly.
The bar owner glanced at them and said, "This is not too difficult. Several war reporters were shot dead the day before yesterday. Their belongings were robbed. Logically speaking, among these things, there should be the satellite phone you want. . However, I want to find those who collect stolen goods. Is this the price"
"I understand, you can make an offer." Lin Rui nodded.
"Ten thousand." The bar owner thought for a while and said, "At least that's the market price now."
"Okay, but I want credit." Lin Rui smiled slightly.
The bar owner was dumbfounded, "Listen, man, you should know the rules. There is no credit in this industry." He was telling the truth. These mercenaries were all in danger, and they would never come back. If you have credit, are you still looking for someone to die?
Lin Rui smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, if I die. You can find someone to pay for it, and I can guarantee that he will never default on it."
"What? You want me to believe in a mercenary's guarantee?" the boss said amusedly.
"He is the most reputable mercenary in the world." Lin Rui said calmly, "Maybe you have heard that his name is Silver Wolf Michelle."
