- "Understood, Captain. We will always have your back." Cobain replied.
He closed the communication channel and watched the fire and gunshots behind him getting further and further away. Lin Rui leaned against the car and fell asleep amid the bumps. He was too tired this day, and the head injury and blood loss on his arms made him weak. He looked at the distant firelight in the darkness and fell into a deep sleep.
The burning battlefield is fading away, and it seems that even my own soul is fading away and drifting away. Only the shelling and gunfire from the Iraqi coalition continued in the distance.
"Goodbye, Mosul." The cigarette in the corner of Snake Eyes' mouth lit up slightly, and then dimmed again, just like the chaotic war in the distance.
The team members were all staggering around and falling asleep. They all needed to rest. About a few hours later, Sergey pulled over to the side of the road. He returned to the car and asked another team member to drive for a while.
Time is tight and it is impossible for them to stop and take a rest. They can only use this substitution to ensure that everyone can get a few hours of sleep. Otherwise, the subsequent tasks will not be completed. They are soldiers, but not iron men. Lack of sleep for a long time can make people less responsive and unable to concentrate.
Just change people without stopping. At around nine o'clock the next morning, they almost arrived in Baghdad.
The old Tigris River meanders through the city center, with highways extending in all directions interspersed among dense date palm groves. Residential villas are scattered throughout the city. Temples with golden spiers and blue domes are set against the green trees. In the blue sky - this is the Baghdad in the past, to be precise, it was Baghdad before the outbreak of the Iraq War.
Then, under the shadow of international sanctions, Baghdad was devastated after the US military occupied it.
Crazy Horse and Snake Eyes had witnessed most of the wars here. Now they returned to Baghdad, and they found that this country, once known as the "God-given Land", was still suffering from the unbearable pain of war.
In downtown Baghdad, the potholed streets are even narrower under the messy blast-proof walls. When cars pass by, dust rises, and passers-by can only cover their noses as they pass by. Rashid Street, which was once bustling near the Grand Bazaar in the old city, is now deserted. Some old houses that were once traditional Baghdad architectural styles are empty and dilapidated.
??From Saadun Street to Firdos Square, it was here that US tanks toppled the Saddam sculpture, symbolizing the end of the old era. Ten years have passed and the sculpture has long disappeared, but the stone pedestal below still stands alone in the center of the dilapidated square. The sewage flowing around the square has become a microcosm of the reconstruction work that is far from complete.
In order to strengthen security, the Iraqi government has set up numerous checkpoints on the streets to conduct interrogations on suspicious vehicles, but this has also caused serious traffic jams. When there is a traffic jam, everyone is on guard. With so many cars and people crowded together, it is even more dangerous to encounter a car bomb. Because of their appearance, foreigners are often questioned here. In addition to checking their documents, the soldiers also take the opportunity to chat with the foreigners.
In many residential areas of Baghdad, major intersections are blocked by concrete blocks, and people can only take a detour to enter and exit through a small opening guarded by soldiers. In some residential areas, even entire blocks are surrounded by tall blast walls, and entrances and exits will be closed late at night. Some Iraqi soldiers joked that living in Baghdad now is no different from Gaza, Palestine.
Lin Rui and others showed them the military company¡¯s card. Only after inspection can it be allowed to pass. Lincoln turned around and asked, "If there is an attack, do you think these soldiers will be useful?"
"What do you think?" Crazy Horse said with a bitter smile.
"How does it feel to be back? I wonder how many of our former partners are still alive." Snake Eyes turned his head and looked at Crazy Horse.
Crazy Horse was silent for a while, "Who knows? Last time I met one in South Africa, I didn't have much conversation and left in a hurry. After being away for a long time, the pain of the war may not need to be expressed again. In the war, A person's life disappears faster than fireworks, making you doubt whether it is real. Everything becomes calm, as calm as water."
"Don't worry, man. At least we're still alive." Snake Eyes patted his shoulder.
"Yes, at least we are still alive." Crazy Horse smiled bitterly.
"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to know where that damn warehouse is and how long it will take for us to get there?" Lin Rui whispered.
Jiang An looked at the GPS locator and whispered, "There are still three kilometers, should we drive there?"
"No, stop the car first. We can't break in without knowing anything and being unprepared. At least we need to get the basic information inside the warehouse." Lin Rui whispered.
¡°But we don¡¯t rely onHow can we get their basic information? Sergey frowned.
"There is something called remote reconnaissance. Cobain is hacking into the security system of the warehouse. If he succeeds, he can control all the surveillance systems there. He will use those surveillance systems to conduct reconnaissance for us, which is easier than if we rush in rashly. Much more reliable." Lin Rui whispered.
"Okay, what should we do, just wait here?" Sergey frowned.
"This is a good idea." Lin Rui waved his hand, "But you have to go out and find the nearest pharmacy. I have a fever. Although the wound on my arm has been burned, it may still be infected."
Yelena reached out and touched his forehead and whispered, "You do have a fever. It's best to find a local hospital to re-treat the wound."
"It's okay, I just need some anti-inflammatory drugs. There will be no problem within at least a day or two." Lin Rui shook his head. "No matter what, let's wait until we finish this mission."
The chief parked the car on the side of the road. Lin Rui got out of the car and moved his hands and feet. Although he had some fever, it did not affect his normal activities. Sergey was very efficient and found him medicine in ten minutes. "No matter what time it is, the thief can always find what he wants as soon as possible." Sergey handed him the medicine proudly.
"Do you understand Arabic?" Snake Eyes looked at the packaging box suspiciously and asked, "Could you be looking for some cold medicine for him?"
Some of the other mercenaries also burst into laughter. The chief was an Arab. He took it and looked at it and said, "Actually, you really blamed him wrongly. What the Russians came for was not cold medicine."
"That's fine, any anti-inflammatory drug will work." Lin Rui said, moving his neck.
"But this is - that kind of medicine. It's the kind that men use when they are unable to do what they want, you understand?" the chief said, suppressing a smile.
"Damn you, Russian, you are so illiterate." Lin Rui was stunned, and then he laughed. He threw the medicine back to Sergey and said, "Keep it for yourself to deal with those African bitches, bastard." The other mercenaries all laughed.
At this moment, Cobain¡¯s communication came.
