After being betrayed, I was lucky to be able to find some moist sand every day in the desert. Although this sand had little water, I couldn't live without it. The next day, they couldn't even find wet sand and could hardly walk. They could only rely on the camel's blood to support them. Fortunately, on the morning of the third day, they found another place that looked like there was water.
The sand here has more moisture. Lin Rui comforted the brothers and said in a low voice: "It seems that we did not find the mistake. This was found along a water vein. Judging from the situation here, there must be a larger water source not far from here. Maybe The border is not far away." So they cheered up and moved forward. Just without the camel as a foot power, they now traveled even slower.
By noon on the fourth day, they had completely exhausted all the water and camel blood. In an almost comatose state, they finally encountered a camel caravan.
After the other party noticed that they were wearing blue Tuareg robes, they called their companions and rushed over. Because this is also a Tuareg camel caravan. The hardships in the desert have given their tribe a tradition of helping each other.
An elderly Tuareg chief ordered them to be rescued. And after learning about the relationship between Lin Rui and others and Wiesel, these Tuareg people became even more polite. Because Wiesel still has a certain reputation among the Tuareg people.
Roast mutton and fresh goat milk allowed Lin Rui and others to recover a little. Although they were severely sunburned and somewhat dehydrated, their lives were still in question. After being rescued, Lin Rui and others used their weapons and bullets to exchange two camels from the Tuareg. In some areas of Africa, wars continue, and weapons and ammunition are hard currency.
Another day later, a small oasis near the border is in sight. Lin Rui was silent on the camel, and Elena whispered beside him, "What will you do if you see the tailor again?"
"I don't know, maybe I will kill him." Lin Rui's voice was a little hoarse.
"Maybe?" Yelena frowned a little strangely. "He betrayed us."
"But not completely. As he said, if he deliberately fires when we are not paying attention, we will all die under his gun, and then he can still calmly take the kettle from our bodies without any consequences. But he If he didn't do this, from his point of view, he was letting us off the hook." Lin Rui whispered, "Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's just that he doesn't feel confident enough."
"Damn it, this guy Tailor left us in the desert to die." Scarface yelled, "If I see him again, I will definitely kill him."
"Maybe I will too." Lin Rui nodded, "But when faced with life and death, everyone is making a choice. He just feels that he has made the best choice for himself. In fact, as long as he is more patient, we can survive Come, but it¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t. He has only been with us for a short time and cannot understand us. But this does not make people forgive his betrayal, so I will kill him too. Because betrayal requires a price.¡±
But as they slowly walked into the oasis town on the border, they found that the atmosphere in the town was quite tense. The locals were all in a hurry and did not dare to say anything when they saw strangers. They all left with fear on their faces. Even the black children who were running around on the streets were nowhere to be seen.
"The situation here is not good." Yelena whispered.
"I can see it too." Lin Rui whispered, "Don't worry about this for now. If we pass here early, it should be safer to get to Burkina Faso."
As they were talking, a group of black soldiers and some blue-helmeted peacekeeping force members hurried past them, followed by several armed vehicles.
"What's going on?" Scarface whispered, "Why are those blue helmets here? Could it be that something big happened?"
Lin Rui winked at Yelena. She walked up to one of the peacekeeping soldiers on guard duty and asked in a low voice what happened.
"Terrorists have been active here recently, and yesterday they openly shot and killed a foreigner. We have been ordered to cooperate with the government troops to guard and restore order here. If you are foreigners, it is best to leave here first." The peacekeeping force One of the soldiers whispered.
After Yelena came back, she told Lin Rui and others about the situation.
"Foreigners?" Lin Rui frowned, "Did you say what kind of foreigners they are? They can't be actuaries, right?"
"Probably not, it is said that he is just a white man." Yelena whispered.
While they were talking, Scarface and another mercenary came over and whispered, "Rick, the situation is not good."
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui frowned.
"You'd better come over and take a look." Scarface whispered. He took Lin Rui and others to an open space in the middle of the town, where several black soldiers were lowering a hung body to the ground.
Lin Rui's eyes moved and he whispered, "Is it him?"
"It's him, the tailor." Scarface whispered, "It is said that the people from the Maghreb organization temporarily set up a card here and blocked him. The tailor can't speak French or local language, and he can't speak French." These terrorists got into a conflict and were caught by them and executed on the spot. The scene was very tragic. This guy tried his best and thought he could escape from the desert, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape death."
Yelena gritted her teeth and said, "This bastard really deserves it."
"People from the Maghreb organization?" Lin Rui frowned, "Why did they set up a temporary checkpoint here? Did they know we would take this road?"
"I think this is good news. It shows that the Actuary's operation has been successful. They should have rescued those Russian mercenaries. That's why the Maghreb organization set up checkpoints everywhere. Unexpectedly, the tailor bumped into He was at their gunpoint. After these terrorists killed him, they ran away. It was not until today that government troops and peacekeepers came to put an end to it. I think it was just a show." Scarface whispered.
"What should we do now?" Yelena whispered, "Continue to Burkina Faso? Or try to contact the actuaries and restore communication with them?"
"Let's hold still for now. With these government troops and peacekeeping forces here, those terrorists from the Maghreb organization should not come back for the time being. We'd better use this time to restore contact with them so that we can join them later. ." Lin Rui said, taking a look at the body that was untied from the rope and almost covered in bruises, and sighed softly.
