Chapter 3167: Track search

Although the place where he hid before was concealed, after all, the opponent is also a good player in jungle and mountain warfare, and it is easy to be found if he is looking for it. So Lin Rui found a more concealed location.
In the part of the dammed lake halfway up the mountain near the cliff, he found a cave surrounded by aquatic plants and needed to wade through. It is said to be a cave, but in fact it is just a rock crack. Probably it was formed the last time the mountain collapsed and formed a barrier lake. The cave is narrow outside and wide inside. In fact, there is not much space inside, so it can barely accommodate a person to lie down. In addition, there is also free space to dig a pit for fire, barbecue food and heating.
Because it is inside the cave, the cracks in the rocks extend in all directions and extend to the heights, so fire here, as long as you don’t use a lot of damp materials, it will not produce a lot of smoke, because the smoke can be emitted along these tortuous stone cracks. When I went outside, it was almost light.
Lin Rui was quite satisfied with this hiding place, because it was right on the edge of the barrier lake, fresh water and food were not a problem. Moreover, the standing water outside can also act as an early warning. If Barea and others want to come over, they have to wade in a piece of water. The biggest disadvantage of this hideout is that it is afraid of heavy rainfall. Because the terrain is too low, once the water level of the barrier lake outside rises, the cave may be submerged. However, it should be enough for shelter for the time being.
After Lin Rui placed the weapons and supplies in place, he lay on a rock paved with hay in the cave and began to think about the next countermeasures. The black man who died today should be irrelevant, but Barea and George are very important. To bring down the secret society organization, both of them must be alive. The internal hearings organized by the CIA must also obtain sufficient information from them.
Lin Rui carefully considered the current situation. Although the opponent had only two people, both of them were injured. But they are not afraid of death, and they cannot kill them by themselves. In such a bad environment, even if they are injured, it is very likely that they will not survive the arrival of the rescue team and will die of infection. This is equivalent to oneself must capture the opponent unscathed, and the opponent is two experienced special operations masters.
Thinking of this, Lin Rui felt quite tricky.
In addition, the communication is disturbed, which makes him quite depressed, which means that the search and rescue team may not be able to locate the island. This may require the search and rescue team to spend more time and energy to find here. It may take a week, or even longer with bad luck. And he had to deal with two brutal elites of the Red Tide troops during this time, and it would be better to catch them alive unscathed.
Lin Rui slept in the cave for a while, until a gunshot alarmed him.
Lin Rui got up and immediately picked up the M4 carbine, squatting and looking out from the hidden part of the hole. There was no one outside, but judging from the gunshot just now, the gunshot was not far away. Just not far from the barrier lake, it seems that Barea and George have already begun searching for the mountain. It should be a matter of time before they find this barrier lake. In order to avoid accidents, Lin Rui squatted quietly at the entrance of the cave, relying on the cover of unknown aquatic plants and ligurous grass at the entrance, staring at the movement outside.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, George found the barrier lake, and he was turning around to call Barea over. "Captain, there is a big pond here. I just tasted it. It's fresh water." George whispered.
"Fresh water?" Barea looked around and nodded. "This should be a dammed lake caused by a rock collapse. The accumulated water inside should be precipitation from the mountain, so it is fresh water."
"It seems that this mercenary has also been here. No wonder we stayed down the mountain for so long yesterday and didn't see him appear." George nodded.
"I'm afraid it's not only that. It's located halfway up the mountain and has a good sight line. He is likely to have observed us here. From there, we can see our camp yesterday. Although the distance is far enough, he should be able to see the general situation "Barea nodded. "He shouldn't go far, we can ambush him here. Pick a few positions and we hide on the spot. When the mercenary comes back, we might be able to surprise him."
"It's an ambush again, but the captain, this person is so savvy, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to leave such a favorable position for him?" George whispered.
"It's hard to tell. This person is quick-thinking and decisive. You can tell what happened yesterday. He actually wanted to capture us alive. Otherwise, we might have been killed by him yesterday. Be careful to search the nearby area." Bariyaduan The hand holding the gun drooped a bit. It can be seen that his hand fracture has not yet healed. Although the C4 disguised as plaster has been stripped from his arm, he also tied a few branches to his arm for reinforcement.
Lin Rui carefully observed the movements of the two men with a gun in hand. Barea and George patrolled the periphery of the barrier lake and found nothing.
"This is really the hell, where else can he hide?" George said with some dissatisfaction.
"Maybe he continues to go up. I noticed that the mountains on this island are in a semi-circular shape. Through the beams above he can go around to the other side of the island. He knows we are chasing him, so he is likely to pass Take a long detour and hide directly behind us." Barea carefully analyzed. "We now have two options, but both have shortcomings. One is to wait here. If he comes back, we can catch him by surprise. But the downside is that if he goes around our back from the mountain beam above , We may not have time to respond."
George nodded, "So, what is another option?"
"That is, we also continue to move upwards, searching for the traces left by him along the way, hoping to catch up with him from behind. The advantage of this is that we do not give him any rest time, and always keep him exhausted. Then he will be exhausted. And what we have is a way to deal with him. But in this case, there is also a fatal flaw. That is, if he does not take that path, we will push ourselves too hard. Moreover, the goal of this path is too obvious and it is easy to be taken by him. Anti-tracking." Barea whispered.
"I think we should take the initiative." George nodded. "We have two people. Although we are both injured, we are not too immobile. At the very least, we have no problem shooting."
"So you mean to chase?" Barea frowned.
