Chapter 108: intense situation

When Lin Rui woke up, she was already in the hospital, still dripping liquid from the infusion needle on her arm. Lewen Novels

He shook his heavy head and sat up from the bed.
"Hey, are you awake?" someone whispered. Lin Rui turned his head and found Ivan sitting on another bed in the room. The Englishman, shirtless and topless, wrapped in a thick bandage, leaned back on the bed.
"You are still alive." Lin Rui smiled bitterly.
"I also find it weird, but I am used to it a long time ago. I have more than a dozen scars on my body, most of which are gunshot wounds. Many times I thought I was going to die, but I still survived. It's just that I lived worse. "Ivan murmured, and then began to cough. He shook his head and said with some difficulty, "No, I feel pain in breathing now when I speak. The air I breathed in has a smell."
"This is not surprising, your lungs were punctured." Lin Rui said calmly.
"Perhaps, but it's really not too bad, I have experienced worse. In Afghanistan, I was shot through the femoral artery and almost died. What's more, the bullet can explode within a few centimeters. My bastard. God, it's a few centimeters apart. Can you imagine? Crazy Ivan almost became Eunuch Ivan." Ivan slowly said.
"Didn't this make you retire?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"Actually I have retired since I was injured. But the days after retirement were even more difficult. I didn't know how to get in touch with people and would not go out without a gun. The more serious one was when I was caught by the police because They found fifteen kilograms of from me. People said I was crazy, and I knew what was wrong.
Ivan pointed to his head,
It’s the spiritual aspect.

"War trauma syndrome?" Lin Rui frowned, "I didn't see that you were too wrong."
"That is I am still fighting, and with the other team members. Weapons and comrades, only these will make me feel at ease. But I have been abandoned by the military, they think I am not suitable for service. I have sworn allegiance to it, And the army guarded by life has abandoned me, just like a child has thrown away his old toys. That's why I became a mercenary." Ivan said calmly. "How about you? Why are you here?"
"For money." Lin Rui said in silence for a while, "I need money."
"Not a good reason, but it's very common. Everyone needs money." Ivan shrugged.
"I don't know what happened to the others." Lin Rui said a little tiredly.
Ivan was silent for a while and said, "Yelena is also in the hospital, but she was injured less severely than me. The others are fine, you saved them. You may not know yet, this action, you just A hero."
"Just to survive." Lin Rui said lightly.
"In that situation, the hero who can make others survive." Zhao Jianfei walked in, "You two, how are you recovering?"
"It's fine." Lin Rui glanced at his wrist and said, "Why are you here?"
"The company is already investigating the leaks of this operation and the mysterious group of militants. Prior to this, all operations in the African branch have been suspended. Unless there is a new emergency, we will have a holiday." Zhao Jianfei Shrugged. "You can rest for a while with peace of mind."
Lin Rui nodded, "Did they find out who those people are?"
"That's why I came today." Zhao Jianfei sat down beside him and took out the red hood from his pocket. "You hurt him. And you are the only one of us who has seen him in his true colors. I think maybe you have more information to tell me."
Lin Rui frowned, "He is terrible. I have never seen such a good gunman. He could have killed the three of us, Ivan Yelena, and me. If I hadn't played tricks, it would have been impossible to hurt him. To him. When I think about it now, I still feel a cool chill in my back. So after I shot him, I rushed out without hesitation, trying to take the opportunity to get rid of this person, but he escaped very quickly."
Zhao Jianfei was silent for a while and said, "Judging from the shell sampling at the scene, he used 5.8 all-metal armored bullets. The quality of the bullets enhanced the stability and penetration of the bullets. And the man who killed my brother. They used exactly the same. This shows that this person is extremely confident in his marksmanship, and what he is looking for is a precise fatality rate."
"He is qualified to do this. He is the person with the best marksmanship I have ever seen. In terms of sniping alone, his level may even be higher than yours." Lin Rui nodded.
Zhao Jianfei stared at him and said, "It is said that you have seen his face?"
"Yes." Lin Rui nodded, "but the distance is too far, I can't see clearly. At that time, he shot down the helicopter with a shoulder-mounted missile, and I only had a momentary effort. Although he did not wear a hood , But I feel instinctively that that person is a red hood. He should be an Asian with very long and messy hair. His face is a bit long, and there is scum or dust on his face. I can’t be totally sure if the distance is too far. "
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "That basically confirms the judgment of some Silver Wolf."
"What? Silver Wolf Michel, he also knows this person?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, Silver Wolf has some special networks. He learned about this Red Hood from some sources, and the complicated forces behind him." Zhao Jianfei sighed, "It is said that this person is called The Red Baron, there is a large organization behind him. What they do is similar in nature to a private military company, but more extreme."
"What does it mean to be more extreme?" Ivan said strangely.
"They are also mercenaries, but they are not ordinary military security companies. They are a group of people called war brokers. They subvert the power of some small countries, cause local armed conflicts and clan feuds, and take the opportunity to do their business. And usually collect money from both ends." Zhao Jianfei said slowly.
"Sounds like an international terrorist organization." Ivan frowned.
"It's more powerful than this. Terrorism is only based on a certain political demand or religious belief, which is somewhat principled. And they are a group of real profit-seeking people who do everything for money, and they have no scruples and unscrupulous methods. This action can be seen." Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Then what is their purpose?" Lin Rui frowned, "No one can control them?"
"Do you care about them? Who do you rely on, those weak government forces? Even they themselves rely on the international peacekeeping forces wearing blue helmets, and private military companies like us. At present, many countries and regions in Africa have begun to gradually go from war to chaos. Stabilization. There are a large number of local factions, or clans armed, and warlords big and small in Africa. These people are all about to move. For that mysterious organization, it is an opportunity to earn money. The rebels supporting General Dunby are just Part of their plan." Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "They will have more actions in the future."
"But, even so, why should they start with a private military company like Morningstar?" Ivan was a little puzzled.
"If they want to provoke a local conflict, then as a large private military company like Morningstar, it is naturally their main target. Because there are more than 50 countries in Africa, we have at least most of the military contracts in our hands. . And many clan armed forces and local factions also have deep ties with us. The military action against Morningstar Company is due to the contract between them and the armed forces on the one hand, and on the other hand to expand their influence and compete for the market." Zhao Jianfei Explained.
"Sure enough, commercial competition is still involved." Ivan sneered.
"As I said, they are desperate for money. Of course, Morningstar is not much better than them." Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "We are also a group of people who sell our lives for money. This is destined for us in the next period of time. There will be a tough competition with them. And we do not have the advantage now."
"I don't care about these, I'm just a part-time worker. Morningstar pays and I fight for them." Lin Rui shrugged, "All is just fulfilling the contract."
"The best you can think like this." Zhao Jianfei nodded, "Because the senior management of Morningstar has decided to shift the strategic focus to Africa. Because the company chief believes that everything we have in Africa cannot be handed over. In other words, Morningstar The company can’t afford to lose. Although everything seems to be calm at the moment, it’s clear that it won’t last long. The reason is simple. This is Africa, a place of eternal war."
"You mean Morningstar will have greater military actions?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I don't know, but from my experience, it's very possible. You probably don't know yet. Just yesterday, nearly 270 mercenaries joined the African branch. Most of them come from the Middle East and South America. Originally belonged to the above two departments, but now it has been strengthened to the African branch. You can imagine the determination of the senior management of Morningstar. It is also more predictable that we will face the difficult situation next." Zhao Jianfei sighed.
"You seem to be worried about this? Can I ask why?" Lin Rui looked at Zhao Jianfei and said.
"Because of this, it disrupted Silver Wolf's scheduled plan. He originally asked us to transition here and then transfer to South America. But now it seems that we must stay here. And now that we know the Red Baron It’s impossible for me to leave again.
Zhao Jianfei added slowly,
If I don’t get rid of him, I will never feel at ease in my life.

"But, does Silver Wolf agree?" Ivan frowned.
"He knows my choice and respects my choice. But you can choose to stay or leave here and go to South America." Zhao Jianfei looked at them and said, "I don't want to affect your personal choices. I respect my players."
