Chapter 2680: Border camp

"I understand this, but you..." Jiangan stopped talking.
"I understand what you mean. We will deal with it carefully and avoid unnecessary bloodshed as much as possible. I will not shoot a group of children if it is not a last resort. But when it is necessary, I am not a pedantic person." Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder.
"Well, I will stay. But you must be careful. If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely cause big trouble for the company." Jiang An reluctantly nodded.
"I know what you mean." Lin Rui nodded and turned to Crazy Horse. "Let the brethren prepare for it. We will act in the evening. Tonight, we will explore the way first."
Sergey whistled, "It seems that we are really going to hide and seek with a group of children."
"Yes, but the result of being caught is not so good." Lin Rui tilted his head and said, "Go and prepare. We still have two or three hours."
Lin Rui and others arrived near the coordinate position marked on the shore in the evening. They hid the vehicle in the grass and approached it on foot.
"Is it necessary to be so careful?" Sergey whispered. "It's just a bunch of kids."
"They don't think of themselves this way. They won't think so when you are shot." Lin Rui said in a low voice while walking forward. "Stop it all and wait until Crazy Horse comes back."
Crazy Horse took sausages as the troop leader to explore the way ahead, and they returned five minutes later.
"Boss, I think I found their camp." Crazy Horse whispered, "It's in the valley ahead, where there is a small forest. But they may have sentries. I found traces of people walking on the road, so We did not dare to jump too far forward."
"There are sentries for this group of little fur boys?" Sergey asked in a low voice.
"There are obvious traces on the ground. I found footprints, indicating that they often walk in this area. And there are two hilly valley areas. If nothing happens, there must be a source of water. Because the rain in the rainy season will follow the hilly area. It flows to the relatively concave terrain, where it eventually gathers into a pool. Being close to the water source is one of the indispensable conditions for a camp." Crazy Horse nodded. "Moreover, there is a certain amount of vegetation cover there, which can form a good cover. These guys are not easy."
Lin Rui nodded, "Very well, let's move forward and take a look, but don't disturb them."
"I suggest we go ahead." Crazy Horse whispered, "The road here is not very peaceful."
Sergey whispered, "Do they still have mines?"
"I don't know if there are any landmines, but from the satellite images, their training grounds are arranged quite well, and there are some obvious traces of soil work. God knows what the secret society people taught them, but these Little bastard, he has learned very well." Lin Rui whispered.
"Yes. I found this on the road." Sausage handed a sharpened wooden nail to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui leaned in front of his nose and frowned, and said in a low voice, "This wooden nail is also soaked in animal fat to harden it. It should be used as a trap for the ground nail. I don't know if it is poisoned. Everyone must be careful when moving forward. Even if there are no landmines, it is troublesome to run into other traps."
Yelena came up from behind, took the wooden nail and looked at it, and said in a low voice, "It is poisonous. This kind of grease does not simply make the wooden nail hard, but is mixed with the sap of African arrowwood. The grease is to a certain extent. In order to prevent the venom from evaporating. This kind of thing is not too toxic, African indigenous people have used this poison to coat spears and hunted elephants."
"Damn, this is really a bunch of little devils." Sergey's face changed, "The methods are really ruthless."
"In short, be careful. It doesn't matter if the mercenary died on the battlefield. Don't die in the hands of a group of children. That would be really shameful." Lin Rui put the wooden peg away and whispered, "Continue to find the way."
The vegetation near the col is a bit denser. Sometimes they can see the footprints on the ground. Judging from the footprints, it must be a group of children. But on the way, they also found several traps, ranging from spike traps to bullet traps. It seems that these child soldiers also pay much attention to the defense around the camp.
Suddenly, Crazy Horse raised his hand to prevent the players from moving forward.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui asked in a low voice.
"Listen, there is a sound." Crazy Horse immediately pressed Lin Rui and said in a low voice, "Listen carefully."
Lin Rui faintly heard some sounds, like the sound of running water, and the sound of people moving not far away. They immediately walked around and watched from a distance. Sure enough, I saw a few child soldiers approaching. These children did not seem to be very old, but they all carried weapons and were wearing blue canvas clothes. They were just barefoot like many African militants.
Crazy Horse secretly asked Lin Rui with a gesture. Do you want to do it?
Lin Rui shook his head. It is still unclear how many people there are in this child soldier camp or how they are armed. If these patrolmen are rashly moved, will it arouse the vigilance of the child camp? Lin Rui felt that it was better not to take the risk, but he made a gesture and asked Crazy Horse to write down the path of the child soldiers, and then continued to crouch in the grass to wait.
This group of black children, who looked very thin, took a turn around the edge of the woods, and then went back the same way. It looked like a routine inspection, but these child soldiers actually arranged mobile sentries.
Lin Rui and Crazy Horse did not alarm them, but followed them far behind them, touching the camp of these child soldiers all the way.
The players behind gradually followed and looked at the simple camp in the distance. There are simple buildings similar to African tribes, built with branches and old wooden boards and iron sheets, and some are covered with tattered plastic film. But the children inside all held weapons, and none of them shot away.
"Did you see their weapons?" Lin Rui whispered.
"Look clearly. It's a Famaz, a French-made unsupported rifle. It is light in weight, has a short body, and has a small rear seat. It is suitable for these underage child soldiers." Crazy Horse whispered, "Yes. It was brought from the original child soldier training camp."
"The 5.56 caliber is the caliber of ammunition that attacked our vehicle." Sergey whispered, "Look at that, is it a motorcycle."
Lin Rui nodded, "In this way, we are all right. It is these who attacked our car and killed our people."
Yelena whispered, "From the scale of the camp over there, there should be one or two hundred children here. This is not easy to handle. The more they are, the less we can avoid the conflict."
"Yes, it's very tricky." Lin Rui whispered, "Order everyone to hide, let's see the situation first."
