With the death of Gaddafi, the war in Libya has long been declared over. However, the trauma left by the war on this country is far from being recovered. Especially some cities where the war was fierce at that time can be said to be still devastated. Misrata, the third largest city in Libya, is such a city that has been severely damaged by the war.
Misrata is located 200 kilometers east of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. It is an important port city in Libya with a population of about 400,000. The city can be reached in two and a half hours' drive from Tripoli. Although this war-torn city is devastated, basic social order has been restored.
After nearly half a year of tug-of-war and NATO bombing, it is no exaggeration to describe the former Misrata as riddled with holes. Most of the buildings in the city were damaged to varying degrees, ranging from numerous bullet holes or blast holes to complete collapse. But now, after all, several years have passed, and most areas have recovered.
The Misrata militia was once the most powerful militia in Libya. During the Libyan war, they seized a large amount of equipment from Gaddafi's troops, including heavy weapons, tanks and self-propelled rocket launchers. Later, it experienced another split. The extremist group Libyan Dawn took control of the area, and later local forces rose again and regained power. The region is almost trapped in this tug-of-war. However, it is close to the port and is still richer than other southern parts of Libya.
Lin Rui and others, led by the mongoose, walked a long distance before arriving at the port. The mongoose dove into the crowd and found a vendor selling goods on the street corner. The two of them whispered a few words. Mongoose took Lin Rui and others to a small warehouse in the port area.
"It's safe here for the time being. We can wait for news here." Meerkat whispered.
Lin Rui frowned and said, "Who was that vendor just now?"
"Hawker, you mean him? He is one of my informants. He often provides us with information. Although he is smart, he is very reliable." Meerkat whispered, "I didn't say anything more to him. I just asked him to help me find a satellite phone. We had to try to get in touch with the intelligence team first. In addition, I asked him to help us prepare some clothes and food. He is a local and will not attract attention, so he can do things better than us. Much more convenient.¡±
"This is not an area controlled by the secret society. Do we have to be so careful?" Sausage asked.
"This is not an area controlled by the secret society, but this is the domain of local militants. Who knows if the secret society has reached out here? What if they collude with the militants in Misrata? So be careful There is a reason to be careful, this mission has had enough twists and turns, and I don't want to get into any more trouble, so there is nothing wrong with being careful." Lin Rui nodded.
"But when we stay here, we always feel a little uneasy." Crazy Horse shook his head.
"Perhaps it will be less practical if we go out." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Think on the bright side. Compare it to the warships we encountered on the fishing boat before. At least we will not be drowned." Several mercenaries around him also gave a rare expression A smile appeared.
"I'll go out for a while. See if I can find other informants and help us contact the intelligence team." Meerkat whispered.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Scarface whispered. He stood up and gave Lin Rui a wink. Lin Rui knew that he was still not sure about the mongoose and didn't want him to act alone.
So Lin Rui nodded, "That's okay. After you go out, help me bring back a few packs of cigarettes. The cigarettes on your body were already ruined by the heavy rain last night."
"I should have brought down the box of cigars in the captain's cabin." Sergey muttered, "But to be honest, those bottles of wine taste pretty good."
Lin Rui shook his head and ignored him. The other mercenaries also experienced a hard night of fighting and were soaked in heavy rain all night. Now that I was completely relaxed, I fell asleep leaning on the sacks and crates in the warehouse. Lin Rui found a corner and took a nap. When I woke up, I found that I already had a low fever and felt a little tired.
"I hope it's just a cold and not some other damn disease." Lin Rui smiled bitterly and asked Sausage for a few antibiotics to take.
"You don't often go out to find girls, so you don't need to worry about other illnesses." Sausage winked at him.
Lin Rui laughed and cursed, turned around and asked, "Mongoose and Scarface haven't come back yet?"
"Not yet." Sausage looked at his watch and whispered, "They have been out for almost three hours."
"What's going to happen?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Probably not. Mongoose is very familiar with this place, and Scarface is also a smart man. Nothing should happen to the two of them. What's more, if something happens, it won't be so peaceful outside." Black mercenary Ezeli??Looking out from the high window. "I think we should wait patiently. Maybe they will come back after a while."
"Then just wait. If they haven't come back for more than four hours, I'm afraid something else might happen. To be on the safe side, we'd better change places." Lin Rui nodded. They have no communication now and don't know what the situation is like outside. If they lose contact with people outside for a long time, they must change their hiding place according to emergency plans.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the mercenary on guard at the upper window of the warehouse whispered, "They are back, and there is no one following them." Lin Rui nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. A few minutes later, the mongoose and Scarface came together came back.
"How is it? Have you contacted anyone from the intelligence team?" Lin Rui asked.
The meerkat took a sip of water and whispered, "I haven't been contacted, but I have left information at several contact points in the past. If people from the intelligence team see it, they will take the initiative to come to us. The situation outside is also very serious. Calm, nothing happened. Where is the informant? He didn't come over?"
"Informant? He didn't come over." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"No, he has always been punctual. He promised to prepare some clothes and food for us, why did it take so long?" The meerkat's face changed slightly. "There has been no movement around?"
"There has been no movement. Our people have been watching." Lin Rui nodded.
"No, we can't stay in this place. To be on the safe side, we have to leave here. I know there is another hiding place in the city that is relatively secluded. Otherwise, we will set off immediately and move there." The meerkat said quickly.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that person is very reliable?" Crazy Horse said sharply.
"If he was unreliable, maybe we would have been caught by now." The meerkat said seriously.
