Chapter 1706: Starry Night

The dry climate in Africa makes the dust a little choking. Lin Rui and the others did not take the road, but chose the nearest desert to cross the past. The uneven deserts made their dozens of broken trucks bumpy all the way, and many people in the truck almost vomited out.
The pungent dust, vomit, and the smell of blood after injury spread in the car. In this way, vehicles are not enough to transport all of them. Only some people can take the car first, and those behind can walk behind. Wait for the front convoy to send people to the designated location, and then come back to pick up the people behind, alternately back and forth. And the distance should not be too different, so that some people will not be able to rescue after encountering the enemy. The distance should not be too small, so that the effect of long-distance leap forward will not be achieved.
However, this is the best compromise they can come up with. Fortunately, these African soldiers can't do anything else, but they can run. Don't look at all of them as thin as monkeys, but they have good physical endurance. On the one hand, it is related to their natural physique and tradition.
Lin Rui once saw a hunter from an African tribe hunting down an antelope. The strange thing is that the antelope stood motionless, and the black buddies at the back calmly drew out the spear and javelin to hunt. The antelope did not run after being shot through by a javelin. After I asked, I learned that the black hunter had been chasing for a whole day, and when he was hunting, the antelope actually could not run completely.
This also shows that these African blacks are almost good at running.
The car shook and stopped. Lin Rui glanced at the GPS and turned around and said, "What's the matter, we haven't reached the predetermined location yet. Why stop here?"
Peng Lefeng whispered, "It was Cobain's arrangement. Our former team must stay here for half an hour to avoid us hitting the troops in Redstone Town. We must stagger their positions. So use this interval to let the team go back and pick up. Brothers behind."
Lin Rui nodded, "Well, let everyone get out of the car. Let the car go back. Let's rest and move on. Our time is very tight."
"Understood, I will bring the brothers behind." Peng Lefeng nodded.
"Everyone moves their hands and feet. I know that the brothers are very tired, but they definitely can't sleep." Jiangan pulled a soldier from the ground, "We have a lot to do and we must stay awake. Get up, let's continue. Hurry up."
Lin Rui whispered, "What's the matter?"
"These soldiers are too tired." Jiang An whispered, "We can't let them fall asleep. Once they fall asleep, the morale aroused by the last few battles will drop to the bottom."
"Then don't let them sleep, order them all to get out of the car and walk forward." Lin Rui whispered. "If you drive, you may encounter enemy troops, but walking is enough to stagger their marching route. Everyone gets up and continues walking."
Jiang An nodded and ordered to continue walking. These mercenaries and government forces were exhausted, but they continued to advance in the dark.
"Tell them, as long as you arrive on time. We will rest outside Redstone Town for half an hour. But they have to let me continue walking now." Lin Rui said loudly.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the excitement of winning the battle has long passed, everyone began to turn from fatigue to deep fatigue.
After 2 o'clock in the morning, sleepy waves continued to rush to everyone. The team walked along, and suddenly there was no sound. Some people didn't know when they started walking from the team on the side of the road to the middle of the road. After being spotted by other people, they went up and woke him up. Only then did he realize that he had gone so far away from the army. When people are extremely tired, they can really sleep while walking.
The prolonged walking not only caused many people to wear blisters on their feet, but some from the soles of the feet to the heels. The shoulders had long been reddened by the rucksack, revealing bloodshots. The biggest problem is not these, but the blood red on the inner thighs of many people, and the skin is rubbed off the back of the buttocks. Every step is painful. The real long-distance march not only grinds the feet, but also grinds the crotch, this time these African buddies also personally confirmed this.
Many people feel that they can’t hold on anymore. Jiang Jian and other mercenaries have to do some coordination, so that people with better physical strength can share some of the weight in the bag for the comrades who can’t support it, holding each other’s hands and pulling. Move forward.
The lead-like legs must continue to move. What's more terrible is that the front team suddenly becomes faster when turning downhill, and it takes more effort to keep up. No one knows whether their own has reached the limit. Even the automatic rifle and the bag weighed more than 20 kilograms of weight on the shoulders, and the person who held up his chest when he was out, has now been compressed to 9o by the bag. It seems that a straw can crush the body.
Some people’s eyes are blood-red, sleepy and tired, and it seems that the more they are, the eyes cannot be opened. At this time, Lin Rui looked up at his watch, and the map that got closer and closer gave everyone the courage to grit their teeth and stick to the last paragraph. Those who travel a hundred miles are half 90, their physical strength will be exhausted, and the rest is supported by will.
The extensive use of troop carriers and helicopters makes this long-distance walking march rarely used in modern warfare. Even in Africa, where conditions are extremely poor, these government forces have never experienced this feeling.
Lin Rui turned around and said in a low voice, "How long has Peng Lefeng gone?"
"It's almost an hour?" Jiang An gasped, "It should be time to come back. How long will we get to our destination?"
"The last eight kilometers." Lin Rui whispered, "Let everyone stop and wait for the convoy. If you run further, these African buddies can't hold it anymore."
Jiangan smiled bitterly, "I can't hold it anymore." When he announced that he would stop moving forward, almost everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The torture of the middle of the night finally came to an end.
"You can sit on the spot, but don't lie down and don't sleep." Lin Rui said loudly, "If you want to survive, just keep me awake. I must be very awake. We only have the last way. , Redstone Town will be our last destination today. There will be the final decision whether we live or die."
He turned his head to look at these exhausted government soldiers and the mercenaries of the Black Island Company, and whispered, "Remember why you are fighting. Not for General Kofi or for other reasons. But for Live, you know?"
"If it is to survive, why should we fight this battle? Isn't it safer not to fight?" a soldier whispered.
Lin Rui smiled, "If you think so, then you can leave the team now. I promise you will not be shot as a deserter, because you will be killed by the rebels anyway. The rebels have been transferred by us, if We can’t take Redstone Town in time. Then most of them will kill us all when they counterattack Redstone Town. We have no way back, there is only one way, Redstone Town in front."
