"Yes, the boss of the local militants, the mayor of Mankalit." Bamujim gestured, "He has many people under his command. And he controls the market here, and all transactions must be taxed for him. However, You have guns, so he usually won¡¯t make things difficult for mercenaries. Of course, if you are ordinary people, that¡¯s a different story.¡±
Shogan whispered, "Mankalit is one of the towns pointed out by the Russian intelligence. Because it is an oasis, and tribes from all over the surrounding areas will trade here, it is convenient for us to find out information about the captured Russian soldiers. However, the people there are mixed. There is also a high chance that we will arouse suspicion."
Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, let's go to Mankalit to check the situation first. If we really can't find out anything, we'll wait for news from Russia." The convoy set off again, traveling through the long yellow sand and sandstorms. .
A few hours later, they arrived at this small town full of Kalit. The entire town was made of yellow adobe houses, which were in perfect harmony with the colors of the surrounding desert.
Under the desolate mountain range, two waterfalls about five meters long hang down from the cliff. The concave and convex canyon walls next to it are a bit like the Grand Canyon. The stream pool has been winding into the canyon. The flowing spring water nourishes the land here and irrigates the green onion cage. oasis.
There are many people here, most of them wearing robes and headscarves. There are some cars around the town, all of which are Toyota pickup trucks, and some of them have weapons mounted on them. There are all kinds of people on the streets of the town, many of whom carry weapons at any time, and some even carry rocket launchers swaggering through the streets. Bazookas and dromedary camels, turbans and ak47s, form an eccentric harmony.
The armed guard at the entrance of the town saw the car of Lin Rui and others, and wanted to go up and ask, but when they saw a whole convoy, they gave up asking and allowed Lin Rui and others to go in. After wallowing in this desert for so long, these black guards can still tell at a glance who can be messed with and who is best not to be messed with. Don't mess with heavily armed mercenaries, this is one of the rules of survival in this chaotic area.
"Where can I get the news?" Lin Rui asked in a low voice.
"There is a tavern in the town, and you may be able to hear something there. But your appearance is too eye-catching, so it would be more appropriate for me to go there. However, I may need some extra money for the information." Bamujim stretched out his hand and twisted it.
Lin Rui did not fall for his trick. He just handed the assault rifle to him, asked a few mercenaries to look at him, and then walked in with a few people from O2.
The tavern is very simple, but it still has salads, soups, Arabic rice and barbecue, as well as some unknown small fruits. There were many people gathered inside, gathered in twos and threes. They were not surprised to see Lin Rui and others walking in with guns. After all, they had seen many mercenaries like this here.
Lin Rui gave a few bills to a waiter in the tavern and asked him a few questions. The waiter understood and immediately pointed to a few people in the tavern. In a place like this, there are usually a few well-informed people, but not everyone dares to exchange the information they know for money. The man pointed out by the waiter was a lame cripple sitting in the corner of the tavern.
What surprised Lin Rui was that this person was actually an Asian of yellow race. Lin Rui walked over and winked at Yelena. Yelena went to get a bottle of wine and put it on the table. Lin Rui pushed the bottle of wine in front of the disabled man, and Yelena whispered in French, "Want to make some money?"
The man raised his head and looked at Lin Rui and Yelena. He seemed a little surprised by Lin Rui's yellow skin. He nodded and said tentatively, "I can speak Chinese."
His Chinese had a strong Cantonese accent. Lin Rui frowned slightly: Is this man actually Chinese?
"Then let me get straight to the point. I need some information about this place. I heard that you seem to know a lot?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"My surname is You, just call me Lao You. It looks like you are a mercenary?" The man looked at Lin Rui and said.
"That's right. How much is it?" Lin Rui said directly.
Lao You picked up the wine bottle on the table, bit off the cap with his teeth, and took a big gulp, "The price will follow the market, but it depends on what you want to know?"
"Is there any news from the Maghreb?" Lin Rui whispered.
"Them? Huh, there is news about them everywhere. They kidnapped two Frenchmen the day before yesterday. You are not here for these two Frenchmen, are you?" Lao You said casually, "If you want to know, two thousand yuan."
"I'm not interested in knowing about the French. What I want to ask about is the attack on the Russian and Nigerien bases in the past few weeks. Some Russians were captured. I want to know where these people are being held? Or with them? Related to thisinformation. Lin Rui whispered, "This matter is being talked about even in Niamey. Don't tell me that you don't know anything here." "
"I know a little bit." Lao You took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff. "It is said that it was a Maghreb organization that bribed those Russian mercenaries to do it. These guys, even on the spot A Russian officer was executed. But if you want to know this, you can get some blood."
"How much?" Lin Rui whispered.
"You are an expert and you should know the rules. It won't do me any good to talk about this kind of thing. If you look at me like this, I'm just a disabled mercenary. Living in this wretched place is just making a living. If If I tell you, I may never want to eat again in this life." Lao You frowned and blew out a puff of smoke, "Twenty thousand yuan is not expensive, right?"
"I have to know first whether your words are worth 20,000 yuan." Lin Rui shook his head.
"Then you should think about it first, or ask others to see if there is anything cheaper?" Lao You sighed, "But everyone has seen us talking, so I'm afraid you'll find someone else. No one will tell you. This is the rule in this industry. Just like you ask other people first, I will not tell you anything again. It is not easy to do business, especially the intelligence business. So we are trying to undermine each other. , can¡¯t be done.¡±
Lin Rui nodded and took out the banknotes from his pocket. "Can."
"Okay." Lao You took the banknote from his hand and shrugged, "It's really interesting, making US dollars from the Russians."
"Stop talking nonsense, where is he?" Yelena frowned.
"Hey, the ghost foreign girl can also speak Chinese. You have done a good job in training her." Lao You teased and collected the money. "The person you are looking for is not here, and no one here knows about it, so don't waste your efforts. Okay, let¡¯s think of other ways as soon as possible.¡±
