Chapter 253: Black teenager

After talking for a while, Vitalk handed them a bottle of water, then turned to Lin Rui and said, "They are laborers who have escaped from the mining area. The fighting is tight, and the rebels of the Free Liberation League need a lot of funding, so they increased their support. Mining efforts in various mining areas. There is no large-scale machinery and equipment, and it depends on manpower. These people are exhausted every day, and some people really can’t support it, so they start to escape.

"Then why are they here" Ivan frowned.
"This checkpoint is specially designed to deal with them. Every day, the soldiers of the Free Liberation Alliance chase these fugitives everywhere, and then send them to the nearby checkpoints. They were cruel to the laborers. Once they catch the fugitives, they will They were executed on the spot. But the situation has changed recently. Instead of shooting people, they changed to arrest and then sent back. The miners there either died or continued to work to death." Vitalk shook his head.
"These guys, it," Ivan mumbled.
Jiang An frowned, "Not shooting people means that their labor is in short supply. The production conditions in these mining areas are extremely bad, and there are no machinery and equipment, and they rely on manpower for mining. So the number of people is directly related to the output of their mining areas. Maybe this It is also an opportunity for us."
"What kind of opportunity?" Lin Rui frowned.
"While destroying the mine, we may be able to find a way to release these workers. Of course, destroying the mine can delay their production, but as long as these workers are there, they can continue to excavate and gradually resume production. And once these workers are released, In the absence of labor, this mine is really abolished." Jiang An groaned, "This is a way to draw wages from the bottom of the pot."
"I think this idea is feasible. To be honest, they look like I can't stand it anymore." Ivan shook his head.
Those black laborers were so skinny that they were so thin. They don't know how long they haven't eaten, and the wounds all over their bodies are inflamed and ulcerated.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said to Vitalk, "Let them go, cross Highway 7, which is the site of the government army. There are refugee camps set up by the Security Council, with food and medical treatment, which may be able to save their lives."
Vitalk nodded and said a few words to the blacks, who almost cried. Several people helped each other away, but a black boy did not leave. He kept talking to Vitalk.
"What's going on" Lin Rui frowned, "Why don't he leave after letting go?"
Vitalk smiled bitterly, "He said he would join the government army, go with us to kill the rebels and rescue his family in the mining area."
"Participate in the government army and let him go to Harlott. What does it have to do with us? He fled to the government army-controlled area on the opposite side. Maybe he can survive. If he goes with us, it's not a death hunt. Let's talk about his small body. We are cumbersome too." Qin Fen shook his head. "And I think it's easier to blow up the mine. To rescue so many miners, then we and the Liberty Alliance will have a head-on exchange of fire. This is outside the scope of our mission, and there is no need to take this risk."
Vitalk shook his head and said, "I want to save them. Maybe you just do it for money. But I am Santujak, they are my countrymen. For hundreds of years, we have been enslaved by white colonists, and now we are again by Denby. Such enslavement by warlords. Do you know what they have encountered? In such a mining area, they must work hard to collect enough ore in exchange for food.
Once the mine is blown up, they will be forced to work harder. Because the rebels need to quickly resume gold production. Many miners will die. The people who killed them may be the rebels, but the people who killed them were us. "
"I'm sorry, but we can't change much." Ivan shook his head, "As mercenaries, we have no choice. The importance of tasks always precedes our personal morals."
Lin Rui was silent for a while, looking at Jiang An, "Actuarial, what do you think?"
Jiangan slowly said, "I agree with what Ivan said. But maybe this time, there is no contradiction between the mission and personal morality. If we destroy the mines while rescuing the workers in these mining areas, it will undoubtedly make the rebels. The mining area cannot resume production in the short term. This is also the original intention of our mission."
Yelena nodded, "Moreover, from a practical point of view, if the rebels are busy chasing these fugitive laborers, their forces will be scattered. If their forces are scattered, they will not be able to pursue us effectively, and they will also have an impact on our next actions. Good. After all, we are not only going to destroy this mine."
"Moreover, this kid has worked in a mining area. He understands the situation there. He is very familiar with the location of the mine. And since he can escape from there, he also has a certain understanding of the defense of the defenders. I still think we can take it with him. Fuck him." Vitalk explained, "He is very clever and will not cause us trouble."
Lin Rui nodded, "Well, if he is really that useful, you will take him. In addition, I want to point out that once we successfully blast and rescue his family, he must leave. Because for him, The best result was to escape with his family to the government-controlled area in the north."
Vitalk nodded and said, "I understand."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "What is this kid's name?"
"His name is Ali." Vitak said.
"Well, Ali will leave it to you. You'd better make sure that he doesn't die, otherwise I will regret this decision." Lin Rui waved his hand, "Qin Fen, Iwan, you check a few nearby buildings, Make sure there are no survivors of the rebels. If there are, they will reveal our whereabouts. I don’t want us to step into the ambush of the rebels as soon as we reach the mine.
Yelena, watch your surroundings. Xiao Peng, check the bodies and rooms of these rebels to see if there is any noteworthy information. Keep the radio open, and come back to gather after ten minutes. "
"Understood." Several people split up and quickly checked several nearby buildings and those belongings of the rebels. After confirming that there were no other valuable discoveries, the members of the UFO team went on the road again.
The black teenager Ali was somewhat silent and withdrawn, and at the same time showed an extraordinary stubbornness. He didn't say a word in the car, not even taking a sip of the water Lin Rui handed him.
"Vitak, tell this child that he is not a prisoner. Even a prisoner has the right to drink water." Lin Rui sighed.
"If you have experienced everything he has experienced, you will not be easy to trust people, especially foreigners with guns." Vitalk smiled bitterly. . .
