Chapter 3233: Hide location

Lin Rui and Sergey rushed to their location after receiving the wireless communication from Crazy Horse.
"What did you find?" Lin Rui whispered.
"Come and see this." Crazy Horse whispered, pointing to a stain on the ground.
Lin Rui touched a smudge on the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's oil."
Crazy Horse nodded, "The main component of this black oil is engine oil. Because there is too much wear between the cylinder and the piston, the seal becomes poor. The engine oil enters the cylinder cavity from bottom to top, and then is discharged with the exhaust gas. Because of the high density of the oil. , So there must be precipitation in the exhaust pipe. But one thing is certain, this is a large truck. Normal vehicles will not leak so much oil."
"I found them." Lin Rui nodded, "Can you tell the direction?"
"They went there." Crazy Horse pointed to the trace on the ground. "We came in time. In a few days, the traces of oil will be covered by the sand."
Lin Rui turned his head, and there was a raised cliff in the distance. The terrain here is equivalent to a rocky desert, mainly composed of boulders and exposed bedrock. It is mainly composed of large pieces of sandstone, limestone, chalk and basalt. It is precisely because of this topography that this once oasis and village was formed. Such terrain is common in the higher-lying areas of the central and eastern parts of the Sahara, with huge rocky cliffs on one side of the abandoned village. Covered with gravel or bare rock outcrops, there are very few plants and very few sand. It is a rock lump left after the wind blows away sand and dust.
Sergey pointed there and said, "You mean there?"
"Yes, this type of terrain is very common in Tinyert and Hamra. There are usually one or several hills on the edge of the oasis. These hills are not high in height, but they are large enough to hide a truck." Crazy Horse whispered. Tao.
"I'm afraid there is more than one truck." Lin Rui turned around, and his hand broke a severely weathered stone from the dirt wall next to it.
"What's the matter?" Sergey said.
"Look at this, this is a fake weathered rock. It looks like a rock, but it is actually stuck on the surface like a tile. It is the remains of this deserted village, and many of them are fake." Lin Rui Pass the stone in his hand to Sergey.
Sure enough, the front of this piece of stone looked like heavily weathered rock, but on the back it was like a ceramic tile, with strip-shaped grooves with severe artificial traces. This is to increase the contact surface and maintain a firm fit.
"This broken house is also faked?" Sergey said in surprise.
"At least part of it is like this. If someone wants to move around here, it is difficult not to leave traces. But if there are a large area of ​​the remains of the previous villages, then these traces will become normal, because at least some people have lived here, no It would seem too abrupt. I think there should not be much left of the original ruins here, which cannot meet their requirements for confusion, so they artificially made a batch of fakes and made some broken walls. Anyway, here. It is an ancient village in the desert, no one will pay attention to it." Lin Rui nodded.
"But what are they trying to cover up?" Sergey shook his head.
"There must be some secrets hidden in the stone mountains there." Lin Rui whispered, "Attention, let's go and take a look. Stay vigilant and search forward." Lin Rui led a few team members through first. In this ruin, a clue was found near a few small hills, this time it was a wheel mark.
Lin Rui looked around and whispered, "Here is protected by the mountains on both sides, so the wind and sand did not bury the wheel marks. They entered the mountains."
"But these stone mountains are bare and have nothing. How do they hide? The people of the West African Liberation Front plus the villagers who were expelled by them, there are at least a hundred people." Crazy Horse whispered.
"There should be a secret base here, most likely hidden inside the mountain." Lin Rui whispered, "The hijacked drone may also be inside."
"Some terrorists will have this kind of strength to build such a project?" Crazy Horse shook his head, "Should not?"
Lin Rui nodded, "The terrorists of the West African Liberation Front naturally do not have this strength, but what about those who established that mobile base before? Large command and communication vehicles, radars, and even capable of hijacking U.S. military drones through hacking. Do they have any This strength?"
"You mean, the disappearing mobile base is also hidden here?" Crazy Horse asked in surprise.
"Of course. They have more than a dozen large vehicles, and even form a small camp. It is impossible to suddenly disappear without a trace in a short time." Lin Rui whispered.
Crazy Horse's eyes moved, "Unless—they hide."
"Yes, hiding near an abandoned village. Everyone knows that this oasis has dried up for a while." Lin Rui nodded, "There are only a few ruined ruins left, so no one will come here. No one will come here. I will be interested in the bare stone mountains beside the ruins."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go in!" Sergey said in a low voice, "Since vehicles can pass, there must be a fairly spacious entrance here. It shouldn't be difficult to find."
"You should go in, but it's not like we are now. If there is indeed a secret camp in it, there must be sentries, so we better be careful." Lin Rui whispered. "Go around on the flanks first and observe the situation carefully."
"Then we have to move forward on foot, where is our assault car?" Sergey frowned.
"The assault car is too loud, and it's easy to alarm them when it gets closer. You can only walk." Lin Rui turned his head and whispered, "Scarface!"
Scarface nodded, "Yes."
"You leave a reserve team on the side of the vehicle and wait for our signal. If necessary, rush in from the front to meet us." Lin Rui whispered.
"Understood." Scarface nodded, and gestured to the mercenaries behind him, "You guys follow me."
After Lin Rui made arrangements, he led people to slowly climb the rock up the mountain from the other side. These little stone mountains were bare and uncovered, and Lin Rui knew that approaching from the front was extremely likely to be discovered by the opponent's secret whistle. Therefore, his movements were not fast, and he still did not dare to straighten up until he was about to climb to the top. Just crawling like a lizard, observing with a telescope.
This worked very well, he found at least three enemy observation points. One is in a rock nest on a cliff, and the other two are on the same side of the slope. They are all carefully camouflaged secret posts. Because the mountain lacks vegetation, these observation posts are sprayed with the same red and yellow sand color as the mountain.
