Chapter 497: Credit

Latakia is not a completely quiet place. The government forces often use gunship helicopters to exchange fire with opposition forces, which has further escalated the conflict in recent days. Cannon fire can be heard in many places, and the war has spread to areas around the city.
Rumors of fierce conflicts between government and opposition forces can be heard everywhere, including artillery fire and explosions in nearby streets. The city is full of dust and smoke, and armed helicopters are bombarding the opposition.
Government forces also blocked several streets in the city and added several checkpoints. Many local residents have fled their homes and the streets are almost empty. Most shops and restaurants have been closed, except for the overcrowded hospitals.
It took Lin Rui and Yelena a long time to find a temporary hospital, and hastily stitched up the wound on the back. There are wounded people everywhere, soldiers and civilians. The doctor who stitched up the wound has been working continuously for a long time. He has forgotten how many patients he has to deal with in a day. He is too busy and no one has time to count. Even the registration office of the outpatient clinic has been cancelled because that place can add a few more beds.
Even the hospital is not a place of insurance. It is often attacked. Most of the hospital building was destroyed by artillery fire. It is said that it was a rocket attack by the opposition, and some people said it was accidentally bombed by the US military by air terrorists. In war-torn areas, everything is chaotic. Confusion in language, confusion in thought, and even in behavior.
Government tanks are rampant in the streets, pedestrians are hiding in narrow alleys, and opposition snipers are everywhere. I don't know when the cold gun will sound.
Even if he is used to seeing killings and chaos in Africa, Lin Rui can only smile bitterly in the face of all this, "It's really a dirty place."
"Not only is it dirty, it's like hell, but it's a paradise for mercenaries." Yelena patted Lin Rui, "How are you?"
"Much better." Lin Rui nodded.
"Then we should go." Yelena said, "We must find a way to get in touch with Kobain. Do you have any suggestions?"
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Find a bar, you know."
Yelena knew what Lin Rui meant by the bar. It was not an ordinary bar, but a gathering place for mercenaries. Soon they found such a place, this kind of place is actually not difficult to find, they themselves are mercenaries, know how to find such a place.
The bar where such mercenaries gather is usually near the army because it will be safe. However, those who can get drunk in it are usually mercenaries. They don't have much military discipline constraints, and the life of licking the blood with the knife head puts them under great mental pressure. After the mission is over, most mercenaries will buy drunk here, find women, and gamble. Here is a place of smoky and smoky people, they are just a group of smoky people.
But there is an advantage here, you can usually buy what you want. From cigarettes in short supply to weapons, ammunition and other equipment. As long as you are willing to pay, there must be people who are willing to make your money.
After Lin Rui and Yelena walked in, all the mercenaries were them. Because they are here for the first time, they are a little stunned. In addition, there are very few Chinese like Lin Rui here, and a superb beauty like Yelena is even rarer.
So as soon as they walked in, someone immediately surrounded them. A big white mercenary came over and Linna said, "Hey, girl, do you want to play?"
"Go away, if you don't want me to put your head in your ass." Yelena said coldly.
Amidst the roar of laughter and countless whistles, the mercenary obviously couldn't get off the stage. He walked up and grabbed Yelena's wrist, but Lin Rui hurriedly twisted the mercenary's hand before him and pressed him on the bar. A cold light suddenly appeared, and the dagger in Lin Rui's hand had been reinserted on the wooden bar counter. The blade was less than one centimeter away from the mercenary's face.
The smiles on the faces of these mercenaries suddenly solidified. They are all people who have experienced life and death, and they are very experienced. But even they didn't have a man's actions. Almost in an instant, this not strong East Asian completed his uniform down and then made up his knife.
As long as the blade was slightly deflected, it was the carotid artery of the mercenary. Lin Rui's movements were done in one go, without any sloppyness. But I couldn't help but sweat.
"You better learn to be obedient." Lin Rui said lightly, a big mercenary, "otherwise, I won't need this ear."
The atmosphere in the bar was a bit quiet, and the owner of the bar immediately came out to complete the game, "Listen to me, man, he just drank too much. Everyone is here to relax, there is no need to be so nervous. Why don't you let him go and let me Please have a drink. And I can guarantee that no one will harass this lady again."
"Very good." Lin Rui raised his hand to shake the mercenary away, turned to the boss and smiled slightly, "I want to use the phone."
"It's probably a bit difficult. You know that the recent war has been very tense, and the line has been damaged badly. The local mobile phone communication has been paralyzed. Not to mention the international line, unless it is a satellite phone." The boss took two cups and placed them. On the table, two glasses of wine were poured, "These two glasses are my request."
"Then get me a satellite phone." Lin Rui picked up the glass and drank it.
The boss shook his head, "I am afraid this is also very difficult. If you need weapons or other things, I can think of a way. But as you know, satellite phones are not a must here."
"Then, think of a way. We need it today." Yelena smiled slightly.
The bar owners glanced at them, "This is not too difficult. A few war correspondents were shot the day before yesterday. Their belongings were robbed. According to the truth, there should be the satellite phones you want in these things. But. , I'm going to find those who collect the stolen goods, at this price..."
"I understand, let's make a price." Lin Rui nodded.
"Ten thousand." The bar owner thought for a while, "At least this is the market now."
"Yes, but I want to take credit." Lin Rui smiled slightly.
The bar owner was a little bit dumbfounded, "Listen to buddy, you should know the rules. There is no credit in this industry." What he said was also the truth, these mercenaries are precarious and never come back without knowing when. I'm on credit, are you still looking for the dead?
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if I die. You can find someone to ask for the bill, and I can guarantee that he will never fall back on the bill."
"What? You want me to trust a mercenary's guarantee?" the boss said a little amused.
"He is the most reputable mercenary in the world." Lin Rui said indifferently. "Maybe you have heard of him. His name is Michelle Silver Wolf."
