Chapter 503: Roadside murder

Lin Rui and others set out to enter Gan State on the second day after the meeting. There are no airports in this country, and there are not even a few decent roads. The only road that enters Gan State was built with assistance from other countries.
And it's not an asphalt road, but a concrete road that has been in disrepair. The road is bumpy and there are traces of fractures everywhere. Several withered grasses grow lonely in the cracks in the concrete.
"This is really a place where birds don't shit." Wang Haoze poked his head out of the car window and said with some emotion.
"Haoze, you are really wrong. There is no shortage of bird droppings here. Most areas of Gan are tropical jungles, with plenty of rain during the rainy season, and there are many plants and birds. There is no shortage of minerals." Jiang An said with a smile. .
"So it's still a good place?" Wang Haoze frowned.
"It's a good place, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the hands of the warlord dictator." Jiang An shook his head. "This group of people is stunned that they can turn a country with a good economy into starvation. Gan is also the focus of the United Nations' WFP. From the 1970s to the present, I don't know how many famines have occurred. In the worst case, there are even cannibalism."
"I'm going, so disgusting?" Wang Haoze said in amazement. "I thought that African cannibals were talking about scaring children."
"Eating because of hunger and the habit of cannibalism in primitive tribes should not be confused. The latter is more faith and tradition, and cannibalism is more ritual. The former is a shameful humanitarian disaster." Lin Rui slowly said. "I have seen many warlords, but the warlords who starve to death are the most hateful."
"Disease war and hunger are truly African characteristics." Jason sneered.
Lin Rui said on a map, "How long can we get to the destination?"
"It should be here soon. They said they would meet us along the way." Jiang An thought for a while.
"Why is there no one?" Lin Rui frowned, "Pu Dongxiang, drive the car a little slower and watch out if there is anyone nearby."
"There is no one." Pu Dongxiang still slowed down, vigilantly.
This deserted highway is surrounded by weeds, and I don’t know if there is any danger lurking. The members of the team drove slowly, and Lin Rui frowned suddenly, "No. Stop for me! Everyone is on alert and ready to fight!"
After finishing talking, Lin Rui jumped out of the car while grabbing the automatic rifle. He walked forward carefully while looking around alertly. Just now when he was in the car, he suddenly smelled a faint blood.
As I got out of the car and walked forward, the blood in the air became more and more intense. Jason held up his gun and whispered, "Such a strong smell of blood? Could it be a prey left by a large carnivore?"
"Large carnivores, isn't it a lion or a cheetah?" Yelena frowned.
"Don't guess, it's not an animal, but a human." Lin Rui whispered, and he kicked the uncoagulated blood on the ground. In a low voice, "Have you printed it?"
"It seems so." Pu Dongxiang frowned, with footprints on his brows, and whispered, "It seems that there are many people."
Wang Haoze took a few steps forward following the smell of blood and pushed away the weeds on the side of the road. He vomited almost instantly, "Damn it, so much!"
"What?" Lin Rui walked over.
"You..." Wang Haoze turned his head.
When Lin Rui passed by, there was also a chill on his face—it was indeed a dead person. And there was more than one, there were three or four dead. They were all dressed up by local blacks, and almost all the bodies were mutilated, which was very disgusting. Their gang of mercenaries took murder as their career, and they thought they were not afraid of seeing blood or seeing the dead.
But even for them, they had never seen such a and brutal torture scene, all of these people were chopped up by a sharp blade. As long as it is enough to make people creepy. But Lin Rui squatted down carefully, then he picked up a bullet from the ground, and said helplessly, "I think we have found someone to meet us."
"What? You mean these people are members of the National Liberation Organization who are here to meet us?" Yelena frowned.
"Yes, although the body has been dismembered, there are still bullet holes that can be shot. This is a bullet hole shot by a 7.62 caliber AK47. The two shells on the ground are another type of ammunition. People have fought. They were hacked after being shot and cruelly dismembered." Lin Rui frowned.
"The government uses AK47, while the opposition uses M4." Jiang An said in a low voice, "It shouldn't have been long since the blood stains. Everyone is careful to disperse, maybe the person who killed them has not left yet."
Lin Rui nodded and gestured to the players behind him, and searched both sides. But they found nothing. Lin Rui frowned, "Jiang An, who do you think they were killed by?"
Jiang An thought for a while and said, "This is still some distance away from the government-controlled area, and ordinary government forces won't go so deep here. Moreover, the method of killing people and smashing corpses is very difficult even with brutal government forces. Do less. Because there is no need at all."
"Perhaps it is to deter other accomplices. The National Liberation Organization finds that someone is missing and must come and look for it. Then these broken corpses will warn them." Lin Rui said slowly, "This is a psychological tactic."
"How do you know that it is psychological tactics, not ordinary murder?" Jiang An frowned.
"You deceased, although the corpse was broken, their clothes are put aside very well. What does this mean?" Lin Rui whispered, "It means that the murderer wants them to be discovered. These clothes are used to tell others People indicate the identity of these people’s national liberation organizations. Otherwise, these clothes and stumps will be hacked and cannot be distinguished at all. The deterrent effect will be lost. So this is a psychological deterrence. Let's kill them. Individuals must be members of the government army, but it is certainly not the government army itself. It is the mercenaries they hire."
Jason's face changed, "Whisper, do you think this was done by a mercenary from Morningstar?"
"Yes, and he also set up a booby trap at the same time. This can bring greater effects when the National Liberation Organization comes to collect the corpse. However, the method of setting this booby trap is not smart. Now," Lin Rui said in a low voice. "We don't have to worry about it, let's withdraw."
"Let them just leave it like this?" Pu Dongxiang frowned, "Is this not so good?"
"Otherwise, what else? We missed the person to respond. If we don't find the National Liberation Organization again, we will have no time to reach their headquarters today." Lin Rui shook his head. "But this also brings us a wake-up call. Morningstar has fully intervened in government operations."
