Chapter 29: Arbitrarily

Gross looked at the somewhat thin young man, frowned for a while and silently said, "How much did Morningstar hire you?"
"As a non-direct participant in the war, my asking price is not cheap. Read the novel to the net" Mr. Jiang said with a faint smile.
Gross nodded and said, "It can be seen. If you are interested, you can consider coming to my team. I found that we also need you like this... well, how to say? Indirect combat personnel... anyway , What you said makes sense."
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "If your price is high enough and my contract with Morningstar expires, I can consider it."
Gross took a glass and poured some wine and handed it to him.
"I don't drink at work." Mr. Jiang shook his head.
Gross nodded, turned around and took the wireless communicator, and issued an instruction, "Everyone should withdraw first and leave the mice alone. Each team will keep me in combat position. What?" His face changed slightly, his expression changed slightly. Somewhat strangely, "You caught one of them?"
Mr. Jiang sat behind him, seemingly unresponsive, but he sighed inwardly. What he could help, he helped. Some members of the fifth team were captured, but he did not expect it.
Gross grinned and said, "Very well, keep him, I will use him as bait."
Lin Rui and the others are feeling strange. Although they have already exposed their position, Gross's mercenaries do not seem to besiege them again. Instead, they retreat one after another, seemingly returning to the periphery of the main building of the fortress to continue their defense. Up.
Qin Fen said in a daze, "Xiao Lin, what's going on?"
"I don't know, maybe this is the turning point that Michelle said, maybe the actuary is really helping us." Lin Rui frowned.
"No matter what the matter is, at least we are safe now." Chen Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we stay up for another hour and wait for other teams to arrive, everything will be fine."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Yes, but don't be too relaxed. Everyone hurry up and sort out the equipment and ammunition. Maybe their temporary retreat was just to paralyze us and proceed with care." After a while of battle, they all I'm too tired. Lin Rui and the others leaned on a concrete pillar among the ruins, barely ate some food and drank some water. This is the first time they have time to eat this whole day.
After a short break, Qin Fen squatted in a corner of this abandoned building, and watched the situation below vigilantly. However, Chen Nanqing leaned on a broken beam, using a telescope to observe the movement in the distance.
"Lin Rui, their retreat is not fake. They seem to be consciously shrinking the defense line." Chen Nanqing whispered.
Qin Fen also whispered in a low voice, "Indeed, it seems that they want to stick to the main building of the fortress. They are erecting weapons, and some people are building temporary shelters around the building. It seems that we don't care about us."
"What's that?" Lin Rui suddenly brows and points to a distance of more than 300 meters.
"It seems to be a person?" Qin Fen said in surprise.
Chen Nanqing's telescope could see more clearly, he whispered, "They caught Peng Lefeng."
"What?" Lin Rui took a few steps with his face, took out the binoculars, and immediately began to observe. Before the main building of the fortress, those mercenaries tied Peng Lefeng to the flagpole. His helmet is gone, and there are many bruises on his face. And a lot of blood stained half of his body. Blood was even dripping down the corners of his camouflage uniform. I don't know if it is his own or someone else's.
"He is bad now. Those guys won't let him go." Qin Fen murmured.
The mercenaries of Gross did not intend to spare Peng Lefeng, they were beating him in various ways for fun. At the beginning, Peng Lefeng was still struggling and cursing, but after a few minutes he hung his head and didn't move much. Let Gross's mercenaries be beaten with fists, whipped with thick military belts, and even kicked with heavy military boots.
I probably knew that he was a Chinese. A mercenary even imitated Chinese kung fu from film science, punching and kicking him strangely, causing a group of mercenaries to laugh. Punched Peng Lefeng's face, and he could even see blood splashing on the flagpole behind him.
Lin Rui's stomach cramped, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He checked the gun in silence, filled the magazine with bullets, then turned to Qin Fen and said, "Are there any grenades?"
Qin Fen's face changed drastically, grabbed his wrist, and whispered, "What do you want to do? Don't be stupid!"
"I'm not stupid." Lin Rui shook his head. "When we attacked the anti-aircraft gun, Peng Lefeng shot and rescued me at a critical time. It was this shot that exposed his sniper position. He I am responsible for being captured."
"Are you crazy? Why did they beat Peng Lefeng in public, besides, there are so many people gathered there, and it is clear that they are going to lead us over. This is called fighting around the spot!" Chen Nanqing said angrily. "You will be shot before you rush there."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "I know. So I have to go. At the real juncture of life and death, he did not abandon me, so I can't abandon him. You stay here for help. I will solve this problem alone. thing."
"You are a lunatic, how can you solve this problem alone? There are at least a dozen people there, not counting the snipers who are ambushing in the building with a gun. Why do you save him?" Chen Nanqing shouted in a deep voice. "People must learn to accept reality, especially in our business."
"If I want to accept the reality, then I should be a guard at the door now." Lin Rui said indifferently, "Faced with my life, I chose to take risks. Because I can't bear to witness the poverty and misfortune of my relatives. The same is true. , I can’t look at a person who is in danger to save me, it’s over. As long as there is a chance, I will save him. If it’s impossible..."
"What do you want?" Qin Fen said in surprise.
"If it really doesn't work, I will shoot him off, lest he suffer too much sin." Lin Rui said calmly, "Now, get out of me."
Qin Fen shook his head and said, "I can't watch you die. Besides, we have already received Mr. Mi's mission and stand here for help."
"Go to the mission." Lin Rui shook his head, "Mercenary is a job, but the job is not everything for one person. People always have to do something for themselves. This is what I have to do for myself. Otherwise, I Even if I live to be old, I won’t feel comfortable in my life. Because when I think about it, I feel that I am not as cowardly as a person."
"You are really not a human being, you are simply a donkey! A stupid donkey that can't pull back, can't move, and fights and walks backwards!" Qin Fen roared angrily, "Well, you go. We won't stop. You, but you don't want us to help you! We haven't reached that level yet!"
