Chapter 690: Wise in a minefield

The team rested all night in the jungle, but they didn't sleep well that night. Here is a tropical rain forest, overgrown with weeds, many shrubs, and a world of insects. All their countermeasures are just a few cans of insect spray, and the mosquitoes here are particularly powerful.
"God, how do people live here?" Sergey slapped himself again, and the slapped mosquitoes stained his hand with blood. "How can people live in this place? This is a paradise for mosquitoes."
"You Russian, you only deserve to live in the ice and snow." Lin Rui sighed.
Sergey said unconvincedly, "Didn't you also fall asleep?"
"Nonsense, who can fall asleep in this situation? I almost sprayed mosquito repellent in my crotch, and still couldn't stop this mosquito, and I don't know if he will get malaria?" Jason smiled bitterly.
"Africans still have a way. Did you know that some indigenous tribes burned cow dung into ashes, then mixed them with cow urine and applied them to their bodies. The effect of mosquito control is first-rate, and it is much better than this mosquito repellent." Kishi sighed.
"Don't tell me, I won't use this anti-mosquito method when I die. I didn't get bitten by mosquitoes, but I was disgusting." Yelena got up and shook her head. "It's almost dawn. Let's bear it for a while. I'll go around. Turn around, I can't sleep anyway."
"Don't move!" Lin Rui suddenly held her in the darkness and whispered, "Don't make any noise, there is movement." The team members immediately turned over, took their weapons, and entered a state of alert.
There was indeed a sound nearby, at first it was faint but gradually getting closer, and there was light from above the forest.
"It's a helicopter!" Lin Rui crouched in the grass and whispered.
"Is it from the base?" Sergey frowned.
Sergeant Green shook his head and said, "It's not from the base, it's more like entering the base. I've noticed it before. In recent days, such helicopters often come in and out at night. The time is not fixed, but they are all in. Late night or dawn activity."
"I was shocked. I thought it was because we showed some traces and were traced by them." Wang Haoze whispered, "Since it is routine, we don't need to pay too much attention."
Lin Rui turned to Sergeant Green and said in a low voice, "You mean their helicopters are only active at night, and basically do not fly during the day?"
"Yes, anyway, I have been circling in the jungle this week, but I have never found a trace of a helicopter during the day. Is there any problem with this?" Sergeant Green frowned.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that this might be an opportunity." Lin Rui frowned, "If we can control one of the helicopters after entering the base, we can quickly complete the evacuation after the capture."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy! The helipad is heavily guarded, and the number of opponents is far higher than us. And we must first sneak inside and find the Professor Schmed. It is still unknown whether the alarm will be triggered during this process. Once the alarm is triggered, we don't even want to leave by helicopter." Jiang An thought for a while, "Don't forget, they have vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missiles."
"Then try to solve the air defense missile reads();." Lin Rui replied.
"That's how you fought, and consider the withdrawal plan before starting the war?" Sergeant Green seemed a little hard to understand the practices of their mercenaries.
Lin Rui shook his head, "We are not a regular army, and in many cases there is no support at all. If we want to successfully complete the task and leave smoothly, we must make a strict plan. We don't want to have no life to get paid after a busy day, so we evacuated. As important as the task."
"Since this is the case, I suggest that we enter directly from here. After wading through this minefield, it should be the material warehouse of the base. The laboratory is in the center of the base. There are not many people in the material warehouse and the guards are not as good as those outside. Yan." Green thought for a while, "it's safest to sneak in at dawn."
"But how do we get through this minefield?" Lu Hanxin asked worriedly.
"Leave it to me. I have experience in this matter. Any landmine has traces. As long as you observe carefully, you can find the traces." Lincoln nodded and said, "I will walk ahead, and I will point out the mines for you. Position. As long as you follow me carefully, nothing will happen."
"How to find? We didn't even prepare mine detectors." Jason frowned.
"Learn from me, Commando." Lincoln smiled triumphantly.
The sky has gradually brightened. In this damp woods, Lincoln crouched on the ground and moved slowly forward, and suddenly stopped. Then he turned around and made a gesture, placing a strip of white cloth on the ground. "Be careful there are mines here." Everyone followed him, carefully avoided the place, and then moved on.
Strange to say, Lincoln pointed out several suspicious places in succession. The members of the squad moved forward and backward in the minefield, but never triggered a mine. It seems that Lincoln really has some extraordinary ability to foresee mines buried in the ground.
Jason couldn't help it anymore, "Hey, man, what the is going on, how do you know there are mines?"
"The professional secret of a professional scout." Lincoln shrugged. "If you say it, it's worthless."
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "I know."
"You know? What the is going on?" Jason frowned.
"In fact, it's very simple to put it bluntly. There is abundant rainfall here, so the vegetation is lush, and grass is everywhere. Where landmines are buried, the grass will grow more luxuriantly because the soil on the upper cover is relatively loose. As long as you look closely, you can still I can see a little trace. To put it bluntly, it is like a farmer planting the land. Before planting the land, it is best to turn the soil over and keep the surface of the soil soft to make the plants grow better.
Of course, this is difficult to see the effect elsewhere. However, here is a tropical rain forest, and the climate and rainfall itself are conducive to plant growth. After loosening the soil, the growth of plants is obviously better than that of natural growth. This is common sense. "Lin Rui shrugged.
"Damn it, why didn't I think about it." Jason suddenly realized. "That's right. After a landmine is buried, no one will step on it to make the surface soil firmer. So the land on which the mine has been buried must be relatively soft. It turns out to be that simple."
"But it's not simple. It requires careful observation and bold judgment. You can't play this kind of routine without a little experience." Lin Rui shrugged, "Don't worry about this anymore. Hurry up and follow us. There is still work to be done. Hey, doctor, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lu Hanxin gritted her teeth and said. She also experienced some wars and killings in Africa, but it was the first time she wandered around this minefield with a group of desperate mercenaries.
