The road leading to the mining camp is difficult, but everyone is very cautious, not only because they are worried about encountering patrolling armed personnel. When walking through this kind of jungle, in addition to guarding against all kinds of insect bites and wild beasts, you also have to be careful of the void mud swamps scattered under your feet. Due to a large amount of random mining and excavation, there are holes everywhere here.
There is some virtual earth and mud covering it, which cannot be seen on the surface. But if you step on it if you don't pay attention, you may be swallowed up silently. Therefore, the o2 players try their best to avoid being left alone, marching in sequence with the front foot pressed on the back foot, and going around when they encounter slightly soft grass. They walked around cautiously, stopping and stopping until the sun was about to set, and then they saw that the forest in front of them became empty.
Zhao Bankuo heard the sound of running water, took two steps forward, and saw a five or six meter wide river valley lying in front of him. The rapid flow of water washed away the vegetation on the shore, and the weeds and rotten grass in the upper reaches were crowded in the river bed. A large number of traces could be seen that artificial mining was the main reason for the widening of the river surface.
Lin Rui glanced at Jiang An, who nodded and handed him the electronic map in his hand. This river is not on their map, indicating that this river is a seasonal river, or it is formed in half a year. Near the Congo River, which has an extremely developed water system, it is normal for there to be an extra river during the rainy season. This also shows that they are closer to the camp.
Looking at the river, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Later, they thought of many ways, such as swimming across it, but they were quickly rejected. Finally, Sergey suggested: "Captain, should we swim across it?"
Lin Rui didn't answer, just frowned and looked at the river, not knowing what he was thinking. Sergey asked again, and then he shook his head silently: "No, there may be crocodiles here."
The Nile crocodile is a very scary animal. Every year, many people in Africa are bitten or die in the mouth of a crocodile. Therefore, in Africa, as long as you are near a river, there is almost no bathing. Even when you draw water, you will shoot a few shuttles into the water first. What¡¯s even more frightening is that Nile crocodiles don¡¯t just sneak up on rivers, they often come ashore to attack humans. Who knows how many ferocious crocodiles there are in the river near this jungle.
Jiang An, who had been silent all this time, spoke now: "Lin Rui, with the current water speed, there won't be a lot of crocodile activity. Even those things that are there have been washed downstream, except for the puddles and grass ponds on the shore. There may be one and a half miles away, and there are no traces of these things coming ashore in the area where we are standing.¡±
These words made sense, but Lin Rui didn't say anything. He didn't seem to be taking risks. I just waved for everyone to follow and walked a few steps. I found a dry place and started to take out the map of Jiang'an to check it. Then I used the GPS locator to determine the coordinates.
Lin Rui showed an incredulous expression and said: "It's strange. Although it is not shown on this map, there are traces of a village on the satellite map provided to us by Cobain. Walking upstream along the river, there is a village Small village, there seems to be a bridge there.¡±
Jiang An was immediately confused. How could someone build a bridge in a place like this? Everyone else also showed a look of disbelief.
Sergey smiled and said: "This is unlikely. How can there be a bridge here?"
"What Cobain provided is the latest satellite map. Since there is a bridge here marked on this map, it means there must be one. And the secret society is not these African militias. They got the diamonds from Kobwa, but We must also find a way to transport these diamonds out. With this river existing, do they use helicopters to come and go? So let's go over and have a look." Lin Rui looked at the map, and then walked forward.
After walking less than a few miles along the river, the o2 team members knew that Lin Rui's guess was correct. It turns out there really is a bridge. And it is a short bridge built with steel frame and wood. It looks like it has been in place for some time. Moreover, wheel marks can be seen under the bridge. It is obvious that someone has driven across the river before.
Sergey looked at it for a long time and exclaimed: "It looks very professional. It can pass a truck."
Maang'an's expression was unusually serious and he said: "It's a very professional approach. This is the standard for setting up the pontoon force. These secret society members are not ordinary people. It seems that the opponent has a lot of people and has mechanical tools."
Lin Rui nodded, "Yes, this bridge was erected in a very short period of time. So it can't be found on the updated drawings half a year ago, but on the satellite image provided by Cobain. This bridge was built in It was erected and opened to traffic within one day.¡±
But after finding the bridge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now there was no need to risk crossing the river. With this kind of mountain torrent-like water flow, wading directly into the water would be courting death, not to mention there were hidden crocodiles and the like. As for building a raft, although they could do it, it would be too troublesome to cut down trees and make a raft for ten people to safely pass.
As a scout, Crazy Horse naturally walked to the tree bridge first, stepped on it with one foot first, and stepped on it hard. It was a steel frame and very thick wood, and he couldn't move at all on it. After a try, it seemed that there was no problem with the tree bridge. Crazy Horse stood on it, turned around and gestured for everyone to cross the river.
But what he didn¡¯t expect was that almost at the same time, Lin Rui suddenly pulled him to the ground. "What?" Crazy Horse frowned.
Lin Rui made a gesture to him, and all the team members crouched in the grass.
Suddenly there was a sound in the distance, like someone walking over on grass, and the messy weeds rubbed against their trouser legs, making a "rustling" sound.
Lin Rui made a tactical gesture: Patrol.
Snake Eyes, squatting in the grass, returned a gesture to him: one o'clock direction, four-man team, light weapons, no backup. Already within range.
Lin Rui shook his head at him and motioned for him to let the patrol go.
Snake Eyes squatted down again, completely hiding himself in the grass. As a sniper, he is as much a master of disguise as Yelena. Know how to make full use of the camouflage clothing on your body and the surrounding light to make yourself better covered.
The patrol members of the secret societies did not seem to notice them. Two people even leaned on the bridge and smoked a cigarette, then continued walking inside.
Lin Rui lay silently in the grass, watching them leave.
"Boss, why don't we take action?" Sergey whispered. "We were able to deal with them just now without disturbing others."
"Because keeping them is of greater value to us." Lin Rui whispered. "Kobwa said that there are minefields near here. If you follow them, you can avoid all dangerous areas. Because they know the location of the minefields, they can't blow themselves up."
Jiang An also gave him a thumbs up.
