Lin Rui and the others drove to the end of the forest, then turned around, slowed down, and parked the armored vehicle aside.
Lin Rui was sitting in the car, leaning against the back of his chair, blood oozing out of the left shoulder blade of his clothes. He reached for the buckle of the bulletproof vest and tore it off. "We succeeded?" he gasped, still bleeding from his forehead.
"I think so." Yelena said to him.
She looked around, "Where are the newcomers?"
Lin Rui shook his head, "A few were hit during the breakout."
It was not difficult for him to break through at the risk of death a few minutes ago, but now it is a hundred times more difficult to say this sentence.
"You stay here, I'll go out and see." Sergey whispered.
There seemed to be smoke in the far valley. Several plumes of smoke were scattered on the devastated and lifeless ground. The streamer-like red river is now a furrow braving with steam. The camps and vehicles that filled the entire canyon a few minutes ago are now far invisible, only a few plumes of smoke and smoke after the explosion. On the edge of this forest, there are some burnt wooden stakes. In a war country, even trees do not live long.
This time they paid several newly recruited mercenaries, but after all, it was a small gain. Perhaps the diamonds they won had already secured enough war funds for General Logan's counterattack, so that the war situation developed in the direction of Anmore. Perhaps the sacrifice of these mercenaries can change the whole situation.
Lin Rui got out of the armored car wearily, looking up at the sky. There is too much water vapor in the air, it is difficult to see, but you can vaguely see movement above your head: a few vague shadows sliding across the clouds.
But soon the shadow above his head became clear. Several helicopters of the Orumi Federal Forces broke through the clouds and flew towards this side, and the window of one of the enemy planes was shining in the sunlight.
Lin Rui hurried to the ground, opened the communication channel, and adjusted the signal strength to the maximum. "There is an enemy plane, retreat! Retreat now!"
There was a static "boom" noise from the channel, mixed with two or three overlapping speeches. At this time, he heard the voice of a mercenary—he couldn't tell which one it was—passed through static electricity. More voices were blocked in the channel, and Lin Rui seemed to hear Logan's voice. Then there was only static sound, and then there was no sound in the communication channel.
He just remembered that the communicator was broken.
One of the helicopters approached, wandering around looking for prey like a hungry shark. Another helicopter appeared, then another, and three helicopters approached.
"What's the situation?" Lin Rui hid behind a huge boulder, and then whispered to Sergey beside him, "Did they find us?"
"They didn't do anything unusual." Crazy Horse's voice rang through Lin Rui's helmet built-in speaker through the team channel. "It's weird, what are they doing?"
"Don't be distracted by that." Lin Rui replied in a low voice, "They flew here and are looking for something. As I said before, if they find us, they will immediately command the ground troops to pounce. "
"It should be okay. The armored vehicle has been covered with branches and camouflage nets. If the helicopter finds any traces, it will definitely lower the altitude appropriately and conduct careful reconnaissance, but they did not." Lin Rui whispered.
"The machine gun is out of ammunition." Crazy Horse whispered, "How many individual anti-aircraft missiles do we have?" He quietly moved to the ammunition box of the armored vehicle and forcibly opened it-there was nothing inside. He could only smile bitterly, and checked his own assault rifle. It was functional, but there were only a dozen bullets left in the magazine.
"This is troublesome. It's best if they don't spot us. If they do, we can't fight the helicopters. Even if they are reconnaissance helicopters with only machine guns, we will only be beaten." Sausage's face was a little pale, his left hand My fingers are severely swollen, and I hit them while driving.
"Maybe we should rush out." Scarface gritted his teeth and whispered. "It's all like this anyway, it's better to fight."
"Not yet time." Lin Rui whispered, "Be careful."
Fortunately, after these helicopters circled the sky for a few times, they began to turn around and go in other directions. "Are they gone?" Yelena whispered.
"It seems that we haven't found us." Scarface breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although they did not find us, they must know our approximate location, so they sent a helicopter to search." Lin Rui whispered, "Sausage, immediately determine our location, and then contact General Logan's people. Look at them. Where is the response unit? My communicator has a problem, only the team channel can be used."
Sausage checked the GPS locator, "Unbelievable, we have ran away for more than two hundred kilometers, but we have not yet reached the control area of the Anmore Army. Because we have been trying to escape the chase and interception before, we have detoured a lot. We are still more than ten kilometers away from the area controlled by the Anmore Army. General Logan’s response team is on the border of the temporary ceasefire. The problem is that our armored vehicle is seriously damaged in many places. If it is not urgently repaired, it will last more than ten. The kilometer is estimated to be difficult."
"Then fix the car. I don't want to encounter enemy helicopters while hiking in the open area." Lin Rui shook his head. "Also inform General Logan that we will arrive later than the agreed time."
At the temporary ceasefire at the border in Anmore, General Logan and his men are waiting on the border.
The soldier in charge of communications reported to him, "I just received a message from the mercenaries on the black island that they are close to the border, but they will arrive later than the agreed time."
"I see." General Logan waved his hand and slowly sorted out his straight general uniform with his hands.
"General, with all due respect, it is not wise to let a group of mercenaries who see the money get back this huge wealth." A senior Anmore officer whispered worriedly, "This group of people is just for money. No loyalty at all. If they run away with diamonds, we will have nothing to expect."
"They won't do this." General Logan shook his head.
"Why, they are just mercenaries? Can you trust them so much?" the officer asked inexplicably.
"You also said that they are mercenaries, not robbers." General Logan said slowly, "As mercenaries, they really won't be loyal to me, but as long as they can show their loyalty to their contract, it is enough. I don’t need to talk about loyalty with them, only they need to be trustworthy."
"Under this situation, with huge interest temptations, do you really think they will still keep their promises?" Officer Anmore hesitated.
"I believe in my vision." General Logan said slowly, "There are many mercenaries in this world, but not every mercenary has its own bottom line. But this Rick has."
