Chapter 1721: Black brother

Lin Rui and the others have continued to march westward. They passed several small towns on the fringe of the war, and there was no danger of being overtaken for the time being. ???
Despite leaving the devastated city of Leita, the evil atmosphere of war also exists in several small cities here. The city they passed by looked gloomy and extremely untidy, with roads and buildings almost unmaintained.
In order to prevent attacks by the military, the streets at night were dim and dark; most of the shops were very dilapidated and almost empty. The war has led to an extreme shortage of materials, all kinds of materials are very scarce, and more serious is the shortage of food.
During such wars, people who buy food often line up hundreds of meters long. Despite this, people are still hungry. Because of the war, medical and food supplies from humanitarian aid organizations could not be transported in. This makes this country that has relied on the United Nations Food Program to allocate food aid for years, even worse. The only meat here is bush meat, and the price is ridiculously high.
The so-called "jungle meat" refers to the meat of wild animals such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and boars that live in the jungle. Most of them are burnt with fire to become black, smelly, and carry various germs.
Such a long career as a mercenary has made Lin Rui quite sloppy about food. But even if he was on a hunger strike, he would not touch these things. These hundreds of them looked like evil spirits from hell. Everyone avoided them, including the scattered government soldiers.
They were all dried up mud and blood, all loaded with guns, and their eyes were alert. No one wanted to mess with such a group of people.
"Come here." Lin Rui grabbed a government soldier and shouted in a deep voice, "Don't run!"
The government soldier stopped with a look of embarrassment, and several of his companions also stood there at a loss.
"I'll talk to them." The black lieutenant walked over.
"Okay, leave it to you." Lin Rui nodded.
The black lieutenant frowned, "Who is your chief and how many government troops are stationed here?"
"Our commander should be Lieutenant Gru." The soldier said timidly, "Who are you?"
"I belong to the garrison of Leita City, and I only broke out yesterday. These gentlemen need vehicles. Do you have vehicles here?" The black lieutenant frowned.
"There are a few cars, but the animal that drove them is dead." The soldier whispered.
"What kind of animal? Are you kidding?" Ahu furiously said.
Jiangan patted him. "He was talking about donkey carts. Other vehicles were requisitioned by the government before the war began. Forget it, let's go ahead. There is a bigger city ahead. Maybe we I can try my luck there."
"Sir, where are you going? Are you going to the north?" the black soldier whispered.
"This is a military secret, boy!" Jiang An patted the black soldier, then turned his head and said, "Boss, what do you think?"
Lin Rui looked at the brothers behind him, and whispered, "Even if we want to leave, we have to report our stomachs first. Or can we walk?"
"But the food supply in the entire city is tight." Peng Lefeng frowned.
"No, then look for it! But I won't grab those people's life-saving food." Lin Rui turned to look at the black civilians in the line in the distance. They are lining up to receive the grain, mainly a little corn.
He turned his head to the black soldier and said, "The one who took us to see you...what is his lieutenant's name?"
"Lieutenant Gru," the young black soldier replied.
"It doesn't matter what the lieutenant is, anyway, take us to see them." Lin Rui looked at the black soldier and said. The black soldier looked at the muddy man with a little fear, and could only nod in agreement.
Lin Rui put the gun on his back and followed the black soldier to their barracks in strides.
"Boss, don't you want to grab the government army?" Ahu whispered, "There are quite a few of them."
"Damn, what about robbing it? We helped General Kofi to work, but we have fallen into this situation. What did they care about our meal? His emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. This dog warlord!" Peng Le was angry! It's still that big.
"Forget it, don't be so angry. Others are the masters, and we are the guests." Lin Rui shrugged, "The injustices and the debts. Although Kofi, the dog warlord, is not authentic, he should try not to talk to these government soldiers. There is a conflict. If they know, we get supplies and leave. Even if there is no vehicle, we can go to the next city."
"Well, you are the boss." Peng Lefeng nodded.
Lin Rui looked at the black lieutenant, "Now you are safe, you can take your man back to the government army. It is not a good thing to follow me again, I don't want to hurt you."
"You don't really want to rob the government's supplies, do you?" The black lieutenant was a little embarrassed.
"Just borrow it calmly. Of course, if I can't borrow, I won't let the brothers starve to death." Lin Rui shrugged.
"Leave it to me, I might be able to negotiate with them. Let them come up with some supplies for us." The black lieutenant whispered.
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "This matter does not matter to us, but you may be in trouble."
"I just don't want you to make things worse," the black lieutenant whispered. "So, I'll do it. There is no need to make things unpleasant."
"Okay, Lieutenant. What's your name? I heard someone say your name yesterday, but it was too messy and I didn't remember it." Lin Rui squinted.
"Feijie. Leita garrison, lieutenant of the infantry." The black man replied, "I was a trained officer in the training camp of Anmor and received military training from the Black Island Company."
"So it's still my apprentice." Peng Lefeng shrugged and smiled bitterly.
"No, you are in charge of three or four training sessions. At that time, the person in charge of our first training session was Chief Zhao Jianfei." The black lieutenant whispered.
"Oh, is it my brother?" Peng Lefeng grinned.
"Yes, so I don’t want to have an unhappiness between you and the government forces. I know that yesterday’s mission, everyone’s mood is very bad. It feels like we have been abandoned, even me and my people treat Kofi The general was very disappointed. But I still respect you very much, you are the best soldiers I have ever seen.
I don't want you to get into trouble. I hope I can send you out of the border safely. Maybe one day, we will see you again. "The black lieutenant nodded, and said in some blunt Chinese, "We, yes, brother. "
Peng Lefeng also stretched out his fist and touched him, "Well, black brother."
