Chapter 1309: Swamp Elephant Road

"What? Crossing the swamp at night?" Sergey turned pale and shook his head. "That's not good, Boss, it's killing me."
"Yeah, it really can't. Let's be aggressive. With our ability, these people can't stop us." Yelena frowned.
"But our numbers are at a disadvantage, and the target person is still in their hands. We will suffer casualties if we fight hard, and the militants in the town will immediately become alert. Once they take Alexei as a hostage, we will be very passive.
Although crossing the swamp may seem dangerous, the danger is foreseeable. Foreseeable can be avoided. This is much safer than the uncertainty of a frontal explosion of armed forces. Lin Rui whispered.
"I understand what you mean. However, it's not a wise thing to touch this black lamp in the swamp. If there are a few more crocodiles, we can wipe out our team." Sergey shook his head.
"There is no crocodile here, because this is related to the formation of this swamp. Because the swamp was originally an industrial area, and the early pollution was serious. The soil contained certain toxic substances. Not to mention that the crocodiles can't survive, and it is difficult for small fish and shrimps to survive. "Jian An whispered. "This is a dead swamp."
"Damn, the more you say, the less dare I will be." Sandro frowned.
"Don't worry, you will follow me when the time comes." Lin Rui whispered, "I will take you through."
"Well, you are the boss. But, I really hug your thigh." Sergey whispered.
After more than an hour, they found the town, the whole town was like an isolated island in a swamp. Except for a reinforced highway. The rest of the place is almost soaked in water, which is why this place is abandoned. However, most of the buildings in the town are concrete buildings left over from the last century. Originally it was supposed to be an oil refinery or something. Now you can still see huge rusty oil tanks.
To enter the town, you must pass through the entrance and exit highway, where several checkpoints have been set up. All armed men with guns and live ammunition are guarding them. If you want to charge hard without disturbing others, there is really not much possibility. It seemed that Lin Rui's decision was still wise, and crossing this swamp should be the only feasible way.
After the o2 team got off the car in the hidden place, they used bush branches and camouflage nets to cover up the car.
"Sandro, Sergey, Yelena, you guys stay and guard the car. Once we rescue the target, you must quickly meet us." Lin Rui whispered.
"Well, I really don't want to go swimming in the swamp." Sergey smiled bitterly.
"How far is this swamp from the town?" Crazy Horse frowned while tidying up his equipment.
"More than four kilometers." Snake Eye put down the rangefinder in his hand.
"Damn it, are we going to walk four kilometers in this mud?" Rose said helplessly, "It's like returning to South America."
"Don't complain, keep up." Lin Rui picked up the gun, turned and walked down the swamp. He used a saber to cut a stick to find a solid ground or shallow muddy water. Because there are often ponds formed by clumping plants in swamps, these floating layers composed of broken leaves, lake grass, and soil have different thicknesses, strengths, and supporting forces, and accidents are prone to walking on them.
"When passing, everyone should explore their own route and do not repeat my footprints. Because always stepping on one place and adding weight to a line is prone to danger. When you must walk in a single line, try to keep the distance as far as possible. To prevent the gravity from being too concentrated, the raised mounds should be used as much as possible." Lin Rui said in a low voice while walking in the muddy water full of his chest.
"When you encounter a place with fresh green plants, you should go around, because it is either humid or thin, and the bottom is likely to be a mud pool. You should try to avoid walking here to avoid excessive vibration.
The quagmire is generally in a swamp or moist soft muddy wilderness area. Seeing the black flat ground where no grass grows, you have to be more careful. At the same time, pay attention to the blue sphagnum moss swamp. Sometimes, water moss is covered with mud and the surface is like a carpet, which is the most dangerous trap.
If you have to walk through muddy places, you should walk along high ground where trees grow, or step on heather grass, because trees and heather grow on hard ground. If you are not sure which way to go, you can drop a few boulders forward and try to see if the ground is hard; or stomping your feet vigorously. If the ground is shaking, it is likely to be a mud puddle and you should take a detour. "Lin Rui looked back at the players as he walked, and then made sure that the players were keeping up before moving on.
The water in the swamp was cold and had a rancid smell, which was disgusting. Every time I stepped on it, black muddy water came up, emitting a more unpleasant smell.
"Damn, after these four kilometers, I will definitely be able to kill those secret society guys without shooting." Snake Eye whispered. The muddy water has spread to his shoulders, and the feet still seem to be soft. God knows if it will sink at any time.
"It's pretty good, at least it's not in cold weather now. If it's in a vast swamp area, the biggest threat is damp and cold weather. If you get your clothes wet and are exposed to the cold wind, they will easily freeze out. "Sergey whispered, "Fortunately, this is not Russia."
The setting sun puts away the last tentacles, and this land will be quickly engulfed by darkness. The remaining rays of sunlight spilled through the misty air onto the damp land, and the visibility around them was further reduced.
"Hey, follow that way." Crazy Horse whispered.
"What?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Listen to me right. That is Elephant Tao." Crazy Horse has long-term experience in Africa, and he is sure to be authentic.
"Xiang Dao?" Lin Rui frowned, "What is that?"
"In Africa, animals such as wolves, deer, and zebras often pass through the marshes. The green and flat turf makes them unable to extricate themselves as soon as they step on them and become victims of the horrible swamp.
And some African elephants often pass through swamps that look like green grass on the surface, but in fact are deep quagmire under the thin surface. But what is surprising is the elephants, their bodies are so large, but they rarely sink into the swamp. They walked leisurely through the swamps.
Because elephants have their own road signs when they pass these terrible swamps. These signposts are the small bushes on the swamp. Every group of elephants crossing the swamp must walk along these bushes, and when passing through the bushes, the elephants must use their powerful nose to break the branches and leaves on the side of the bushes little by little. And take off.
Every group of elephants is like this, so over time, many dangerous swamps have such a phenomenon: there is a line of trees that cross the swamp. They tend to have lush foliage on one side, and the other side is bare, with almost no branches, along Walking in such bushes often avoids many terrible quagmire overgrown in danger, and then walks peacefully through the swamp. This is the Elephant Road, the Elephant Road. "Crazy Horse whispered.
