Chapter 3112: Abandoned mine

As the vehicle continued to drive forward, Lin Rui and the others were not advancing fast. They had been looking for traces left by the red tide troops along the way. But unfortunately, apart from the railing that was broken at the checkpoint, they rarely found traces of the Red Tide troops along the way.
"Boss, the front is one of our target locations, the mine." Sausage reported like Lin Ruihui via wireless communication.
"Find a place to park, let's go and take a look." Lin Rui patted Crazy Horse's arm. Crazy Horse nodded, parked the car near a bush, and the team members got out of the car together.
"The front is one of the target locations, an abandoned copper mine. I will go in with Crazy Horse, and you will stay on the outskirts temporarily." Lin Rui whispered.
Yelena said in a low voice, "If they are really hiding there, there will definitely be people nearby. You'd better be careful when you go there. If it doesn't work, we'll go there together.
"In order to avoid attracting attention, they will definitely not have too many manpower. Even if they are alert, they will be concentrated around the mining area." Lin Rui whispered. "If we are crowded, it will be easier to attract attention. Once they are prepared, it will be much more difficult to deal with. Let's go to reconnaissance first, and you stay where you are.
If we are not exposed, wait patiently for our news. If we are exposed, it is never too late for you to act. "
After checking the weapons and equipment, Lin Rui and Crazy Horse left the road and slowly approached the mine. This African copper mine, like most African mines, is not very large, with scattered and dilapidated buildings scattered around it. Since it was abandoned as early as the 1980s, it is even more embarrassing. The dry wind blew across this area, and the shabby wooden boards of the building made various crashing sounds. It looks like a haunted town.
Lin Rui made a tactical gesture at the Crazy Horse, and the Crazy Horse nodded, bent over, and jumped forward quickly. Hid his body beside a dilapidated wooden building. Poke his head out slightly and observe the surrounding situation with a telescope. The surrounding area is fairly open. In this case, high places will become good surveillance points. If the secret society members choose to hide here, they will definitely set up guard points on high places to overlook the surrounding area.
Therefore, the two of them did not choose to advance, but chose to gradually advance with the help of terrain cover. And pay close attention to the movement of the heights. There are several old concrete buildings here, and more are just run-down wooden bungalows. Crazy Horse observed the surrounding conditions, turned around and made a safe gesture to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui ran quickly from the other side to the place where Crazy Horse was hiding, squatted down in the same posture, and whispered, "Isn't there anything to be found?"
"Nothing was found, and there were no signs of activity at several commanding heights. Would they not choose to hide here?" Crazy Horse hesitated.
"Maybe they are hiding in a deeper place." Lin Rui watched the surrounding vigilantly.
"You mean, maybe they will hide in the mine?" Crazy Horse whispered, "According to the intelligence, this is an old-fashioned mine built by the French. The hillside over there should be the entrance of a mine. They may be hiding inside. If this is the case, they don't need to establish a cordon from the outside because they have not many manpower, so they keep the guard position on the hillside."
"I think so too." Lin Rui nodded. "Have you found any traces of other vehicles?"
"No, the wind and sand in this place are a bit big, and the marks of the wheels will be blown off in a few hours." Crazy Horse pointed and said not far away, "See that? There are only a few concrete buildings here. One, if we can go up to the second floor, we should be able to observe the situation at the entrance of the mine."
"What are you waiting for, let's go now." Lin Rui whispered, "Keep walking close to the building, so that you can use the cover of the building. It is difficult for the other party to find us."
Crazy Horse and Lin Rui bend over and walk forward together, keeping them within a short distance from the surrounding abandoned buildings, so that the height of the buildings can cover their figures. It was noon, the sun was blazing, and their backs were hot. The shadows of these buildings, how many people provide them with some shelter.
When they reached a building, they discovered that the concrete building was in dilapidated condition, with doors and windows long gone, and even door and window frames were gone. So they calmly turned over from outside the window and entered inside. Crazy Horse made a gesture to Lin Rui, and Lin Rui came out quickly, aimed at the stairs with the gun in his hand, and then walked up the stairs gently.
The upper floor of the second floor has collapsed in half, and bricks, concrete blocks, and twisted steel bars are everywhere in a mess.
Lin Rui's weapon scanned the surrounding circle, then whispered, "Safe."
Crazy Horse also came up from downstairs with a gun, and whispered, "This place is really broken. When I came up just now, I was always worried that the stairs would suddenly collapse."
"Don't talk, there is a discovery here." Lin Rui knelt down and said.
"What is this?" Crazy Horse looked at the thing in Lin Rui's hand.
"This is the gum paper for chewing gum." Lin Rui looked at it and said in a low voice, "Chewing gum with caffeine added is not very common in Africa."
"Used for refreshing, it can be used for long-term surveillance tasks. Prolonged vigilance is easy to get tired, but smoking is easy to be found, so it is safer to chew gum." Crazy Horse replied, "A few bricks on the ground were People have moved, and this collapsed gap is just facing the outside. This is a very ideal surveillance spot. It seems that someone has been here for a long time on guard mission. That’s why he needs this to refresh his mind."
"I heard Sergey say that this kind of chewing gum is made in Russia and used in some special forces. So the people who can eat this kind of gum are definitely not local militants, let alone local civilians who can't even eat. "Lin Rui whispered. "Maybe this is what the Red Tide troops left. They must have used this building as a warning observation point before, but for some reason, they gave up."
"So, they are really here?" Crazy Horse whispered, "It's in the mine on the other side of the hillside behind. Because they are hiding in the cave, and the cave should contain a lot of copper, so it's enough for us The GPS positioning equipment installed in the Dragonfire system forms a shield. No wonder we cannot locate them based on GPS signals."
"It's too early to draw a conclusion. We have to get closer to the mine and go in and take a look before we can make a conclusion." Lin Rui whispered.
