Chapter 265: Cross the river

Lin Rui and others found a relatively hidden place, hiding the vehicle with sand and branches. Le-wen-What they have to do now is to cross the river in Santujak with arms.
Lin Rui sat by the river and took a rest. Even he was a little sleepy after running around for days.
The civil war afflicting Africa is a series of miniaturized armed conflicts with endless victims and many unknown purposes. Territorial disputes, differences in tribal hatred, beliefs and resource disputes are entwined, like vines in a tropical jungle, there is no battlefield, no conflict zone, and no end.
Just like the river in front of you, it will flood in the rainy season. Fortunately, it is not the rainy season yet.
Jiang An walked to his side and said, "It's all done. The vehicle may not be hidden here for long, but it will not be discovered within a few days. After all, it is very desolate here, plus war. Generally no one will. Passing through this area, all traces on the road have also been cleaned up."
Lin Rui nodded and turned around and said, "Let everyone rest for a while, and we are about to start crossing the river. I just hope this crossing will go smoothly."
"Don't worry, I checked around. The river is very quiet, and there are no Liberty Liberation Alliance people nearby." Jiang An smiled.
"Hey, what else are you talking about?" Ivan said loudly.
"Nothing." Lin Rui turned around and said, "How is your wound? Soaking in water will make your wound inflamed. If it doesn't work, don't go with us, stay here and wait for us, watching the vehicle And supplies. We will be back in two or three days at most."
"It's no big problem, it's just a scrape from the bullet. It's commonplace, and the bullet won't kill me." Ivan shook his head, and took out half of his cigar and held it in his mouth. He smiled and said, "This is the last time I brought it back from Cuba, I don't want to waste it like this."
"Bullets won't kill you, maybe lung cancer will." Jiang An mocked.
"Okay, don't quarrel. Take advantage of the rest time to tidy up your equipment." Lin Rui waved his hand. "This time we try to pack as light as possible so as not to attract attention."
"Just like you, you will be stared when you walk in the city. It's hard not to get noticed." Vitak walked over. "A few Asians and a few whites are just like eye-catching labels. ."
"Vitak is right. We are easy to find when we enter the city like this. Moreover, Hekou City is a very important city. As far as I know, the defense there will not be very lax." Jiang An said, "So I think crossing the river. After that, he would hide on the spot outside the city and wait until night before acting."
"Although I am not a local, I am quite familiar with this place, and I am not without friends in Hekou City. Maybe I can get in and find the news first." Vitalk thought for a while.
"This is a good idea. You are a black man and won't be too conspicuous in Hekou City. Moreover, your messy relationships are likely to be useful. But it's best to be careful not to be sold by your friends again. "Lin Rui nodded.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Vitalk nodded.
The members of the team rested for a while, and then set off again. Lin Rui unbuttoned the collar, turned over the pockets of his pants, and folded his sleeves and trouser legs to the proper position of his upper arms and thighs.
To carry out an armed swimming, do not make your clothes too tight or too loose. Equipment such as bullet bag, grenade water bottle and tactical bag must be properly organized and connected tightly, and the gun must be attached to the back.
After doing all this, Lin Rui jumped on the spot and tried the weight of various objects on her body. For long-distance swimming, the weight of the equipment must be evenly distributed on the body and avoid concentrating on the lower half of the body. This will cause the lower limbs to sink during the swimming, increase resistance, exert effort and affect speed. Of course, if concentrated on the upper part of the body, it will cause breathing difficulties.
The members of these UFO teams have all received special training in this area, and after entering the water, they swam silently towards the other side. This river is a typical African river and is greatly affected by the season. In the rainy season, the water level here is very high, forming a fairly large-scale small lake.
But now it is a dry season, and the original wide river surface seems to be fragmented into several pieces. The shallow places are very shallow, but the deep places are still very deep. It took more than ten minutes for the team members to cross the river smoothly.
On several occasions, they were alert to find a crocodile like driftwood nearby, but it was because of this discovery that they were able to quickly react to several people covering each other, shooting away these creepy animals with their weapons. Once approached by these ferocious water hunters, it was really terrible.
After landing, Lin Rui still felt his heart beating wildly. On the contrary, Ivan was much calmer than him. He patted Lin Rui on the shoulder and said, "Why, this is the first time you met a crocodile?"
Lin Rui nodded, "I am a little scared of this thing."
"In fact, it’s okay. Be careful. It’s fine. I used to know a fisherman who fished in Lake Chamo. They fished in the lake every day. Sometimes the crocodiles were not far from them and they were fishing. His little raft and their bodies are half immersed in the water. As long as you don’t get close to them, there will be no big problems, especially in the water.
Ivan smiled.
"Speaking lightly." Qin Fen said with lingering fears. "I would rather meet a group of militants from the Liberty Liberation League, and I don't want to encounter such a thing. It's too frightening.
"Okay, don't stay by the river for a long time. There is no shelter here, we are easily spotted. We must hurry to Hekou City." Lin Rui shook his head. "Peng Lefeng, take a look at our location, how far is it from Hekou City?"
Peng Lefeng nodded and took out the GPS locator from the waterproof bag. He looked around and said, "There are still more than 20 kilometers in the southeast."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Okay, let's go on. We'd better be there before noon. In this case, we can rest outside the city for a while and start operations at night."
"I have an idea. There is a small farm on the outskirts of Hekou City. It is only two kilometers away from Hekou City. We can repair it there. It is also convenient for me to go in and find out the news." We just don't know, the rebels. After occupying here, the small farm is still there."
"I can't manage that much, let's rush over and talk about it. It may not be safe to stay by the river." Lin Rui nodded.
"Be careful!" Ivan suddenly fell to the ground and waved at them.
Lin Rui and the others also reacted immediately, all lying behind the yellowing grass by the river. There was a roar of engines in the distance, and a convoy was approaching.
