"Okay, let's go up and take a look." Lin Rui picked up the gun, bent down and slowly walked out of the reed beach, and walked forward cautiously.
The front should be an African village. Like most villages along the river, people here make a living by raising livestock, farming, fishing, and making straw weaving. A large number of reeds are used in the houses and fences in the village. This should be a small village, but there is not a sound of people. Lin Rui approached the village alertly, his face suddenly turned ugly.
There was almost no living person in the village, and the bodies of several black villagers were lying on the ground. It can be seen that they were suddenly attacked while eating. There was food scattered on the ground, a kind of red beetroot unique to Africa and some fish.
Near the river, there were more corpses, including men, women, old and young. It was clear that the village had been massacred. This bloody scene was too much for someone like Lin Rui who was used to seeing blood. He was not afraid of corpses, let alone blood. But when he saw the sight of unarmed women and children lying dead under random gunfire, he still felt a twitch in his stomach.
These corpses are still very fresh, because in such hot weather, they have not decayed and given birth to maggots. They most likely died within a day, or even less than ten hours. Someone massacred the entire village, including the elderly, women, and children.
Picking up a bullet casing from the ground, Lin Rui took a deep breath, put down the pistol, and walked back.
"How is it?" Sergey, who was waiting in the reed beach, whispered.
"There is a village ahead." Lin Rui whispered, "There are probably only a few dozen families, all of whom were shot dead. Regardless of men, women, old or young, this child may be the only one left in the whole village."
"Damn it." Sergey's face changed slightly, "Did the secret society do it?"
Lin Rui nodded and gave Sergey the bullet casing he picked up at the scene, "5.56mm caliber bullets are not used much by tribal armed forces in Africa. I think we may have harmed this village. The secret society set up an ambush on the bridge. , afraid that the surrounding villagers would leak the news. So they went on a killing spree and cleaned up the nearby village."
"But why? We have no contact with these villagers! Why do they do this?" Sergey said angrily.
"Because the people in this village are all fishermen, they live on this river and go fishing everywhere in boats. The people in the secret society are worried that their plan to set up an ambush on the bridge will be revealed by these villagers. So, they The village was massacred" Lin Rui whispered.
¡°Damn it, these bastards deserve to die!¡± Sergey became furious. Although he is a thief, he hates this the most. Because he has been an orphan since he was a child, sleeping in garbage dumps and abandoned subway stations, and making a living by stealing. Seeing this black child who suddenly lost all his relatives, and his fearful and panicked eyes, Sergey suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and it was stabbed in the softest part of his heart.
Sergey stood up, pulled the gun suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to kill them."
"If you go like this, they will kill you." Lin Rui put a hand on his arm and said in a deep voice, "I am as angry as you. All the bloodshed and corpses I have seen since I became a mercenary, Never before have I felt fearful and angry. I am not afraid of death, I am just afraid that others will die because of me, and they will be completely unrelated people dying because of me."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go kill those guys. They are not soldiers, they are damn murderers." Sergey said loudly.
"So are we!" Lin Rui grabbed his wrist and said in a deep voice. "Believe me, I wanted to kill the executioners of the secret society more than you. Because it would make me feel better. I avenged them, as if it had nothing to do with us. But in fact, it was just self-comfort. .These people are dead, and nothing we can do can bring them back to life!"
Sergey sat down a little slumped, lowered his head and said, "But they shouldn't do this. These villagers are innocent. They really deserve to go to hell."
"This is war, and it is the most ugly and cruel behavior of mankind." Lin Rui shook his head. "We will all go to hell, but we can send them there first. The premise is that we have to have plans and execute these plans calmly and not be swayed by emotions. Understand, now take a deep breath and recover your emotions. Then, we start to act."
Sergey took a deep breath and nodded. He turned to look at the child and whispered, "What should he do?"
"He is very strong and smart. He knows how to hide himself. So he doesn't need us to worry. What we need to worry about is ourselves." Lin Rui patted Sergei on the shoulder. "Everyone has his own destiny. We have What¡¯s ours, he has his.¡±
"A person like him might die." Sergey whispered."That's enough for you!" Lin Rui grabbed him and whispered, "Don't let these things disturb your mood. We are here to conduct reconnaissance, we still have responsibilities and tasks on our shoulders, and there is a behind us Other brothers in the team. Do you want to be in chaos because of this unexpected incident? Wake up, brother, I need a clear-headed investigator. If you think it doesn't work, go back now and stay with the other team members. Don't stop me from doing my job, understand?"
"But" Sergey hesitated.
"There are no buts. Only by staying focused can you complete the mission and survive." Lin Rui pushed him away and whispered, "I'm going to the front now. If you think about it, follow me. If you don't think about it, just Keep thinking clearly here about what you should do.¡±
Lin Rui continued to move forward with the gun in hand. In order to stay deep in the reeds, he stepped on water up to his ankles. In fact, the scene of massacre of the village he just saw shocked him greatly, but he was still as firm as a piece of steel. Because he knew he had to be. It's not that he didn't want to rush out and fight with the members of the secret society to vent his frustration.
But this is not in the interest of the team. He cannot drag the entire team into trouble based on his own temporary likes and dislikes. He is the captain and he has to take on more at times like this. No matter how guilty he felt, he couldn't break the rules because of it. The rule of o2 is team first. He forced himself to have a cruel heart, only in this way could he contain this cruel world.
Sergey followed him, and Lin Rui and him walked for nearly a kilometer, and they could already vaguely see the bridge in front of them through the gaps in the reeds on the river beach. Lin Rui gently pushed aside the reeds and observed the distant scene with a telescope. On the surface, he did not find any ambush, but he knew that the people from the secret society must be nearby.
