Battlefield Contractor

After several hours of non-stop bumps and flying dust, the members of the UFO team arrived in this small town. This is the poorest country in Africa and suffers from a lack of infrastructure. The road problem is very serious. In the whole town, only a few roads are paved with asphalt. In most areas, the road is just a dirt road pushed out by wheels. Its borders are blurred and covered with thick dust. Any car passing by will lift up dust in the sky, which looks like a dirt road from a distance. The long-colored dragon seemed to be devouring the entire car, only the front of the car barely escaped.

When they arrived, it was getting late, and the lights in the town were bright and dark, and even suddenly turned dark, because the electricity supply was always insufficient. In order to avoid alarming the rebels, they parked their car outside the town and walked towards the town by night. A few African women walked towards them. They had dark complexions, plump bodies, and the wide and upturned buttocks that attracted attention. They looked like the most typical black women in the region.

Lin Rui and the others all wore sand-proof turbans and covered their faces with gray cloaks, thinking silently and quietly. They dressed like armed men that are common in this area, but they didn't hold their guns in their hands. No one pays attention to them either. The locals don't care about these outsiders, because these outsiders are of little importance to them. Apart from selling goods to them, these villagers simply ignore them.

It seems not so safe here, Zhao Jianfei warned the team members not to act alone. There are people coming and going in the small town, but unlike the villages and towns I have visited before, there is such a kind of restlessness in the air, the eyes of young people are no longer peaceful, and the feeling that they show is cruel and cold-blooded. On the street, armed men with guns and live ammunition passed by from time to time.

Every time, Lin Rui was under the cloak, holding the gun nervously. However, these armed men did not seem to stop them from questioning. These armed rebels are similar to the militia, and they are not very vigilant. The roads to other towns were blocked anyway, and it was getting late, so they had no interest in interrogating strangers.

Vitalk walked ahead and led them to a shack in this small town.

"Is it here?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.

Vitalk nodded, then raised his hand and knocked on the door. The owner of the room seemed to curse a little dissatisfiedly before coming out to open the door. But when he saw that it was Vitalk, he laughed and hugged him again. This is a middle-aged black man who is getting fat. To be honest, there are really not many people in this country who can be so fat. Lin Rui always felt that this person was a bit like a certain black rapper, especially his pigtails all over his head, which made him look a little weird.

However, after seeing Lin Rui and the others, the man immediately became nervous again and picked up the gun on the table. Vitalk stopped him quickly and whispered a few words to him. He frowned slightly, then became happy again, and even walked over to hug Lin Rui like an old friend. "I like Chinese." He patted Lin Rui's arm and said loudly in English.

"This is the friend I was talking about, Josh." Vitalk said to Lin Rui and Zhao Jianfei.

Zhao Jianfei nodded, but winked at the others. Ivan, Qin Fen and others knew it, and immediately walked out, concealed and guarded the outside of the shed.

The black man seemed very enthusiastic and said a lot to Lin Rui and Zhao Jianfei. He told them that there was a railway nearby. It was built in the 1960s and 1970s. The people who built this railway were all Chinese, so he liked Chinese people very much.

Lin Rui asked Zhao Jianfei in a low voice, "There are still railways built by Chinese here?"

"It may be due to a construction project that aided Africa. Back then, the Chinese spared no effort to help our African brothers. However, after a long period of time, it is rarely mentioned now. In addition to the frequent wars, these aids back then Construction projects. Some have been almost destroyed. After the Chinese have forgotten, an African still remembers. We often do this, and it is easy to forget some things." Zhao Jianfei slowly said.

Lin Rui was silent for a while without speaking. After listening to Vitalk's explanation of his intentions, this Joe Xu hesitated. He looked at Zhao Jianfei and Lin Rui and said, "The Liberty Liberation Alliance occupied this place three weeks ago. They have established a blockade and completely blocked it. The road to the south."

"We passed several villages and towns before, but there were almost no people there. What about the local residents? Why are the nearby villages and towns completely empty?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"They were all forcibly escorted to the south. Because the north is the territory of the government army, these villagers are considered to be loyal to the government army. Some of the rebels did not massacre, and the rest were transported to the mining area in the south to work. Or add to become soldiers and force them to fight against government forces on the battlefield. It is said that this is a chance for them to prove their loyalty." Josh smiled bitterly, "Actually, they are just villagers and even children. As cannon fodder, after being on the battlefield, few can come back."

"This is the practice of some old-school warlords, arresting the rebels as laborers, or forcibly recruiting soldiers. But few have done so thoroughly, unless..." Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"Unless what?" Lin Rui asked.

"Ordinary warlords also arrest people, but they rarely move entire villages and towns away. They just come to arrest people when they need labor or soldiers. It's not as thorough as General Dengby did this time. All are removed by force. "Zhao Jianfei said.

"Yes, I also feel a little strange." Josh nodded.

"Could it be a solid wall and a clear field?" Lin Rui frowned. "The fighting between the rebels and the government is at a critical juncture, and the rebels are now showing their initial decline. General Denby simply moved all the population of some small towns on the front line, and all houses were burned. The government left a blank area. "

"There is also this possibility, but I am more worried about another possibility." Zhao Jianfei looked at Lin Rui and said, "You know, the 500 kilograms of vx poison. Once it spreads on the front lines of the battle, it will definitely be a corpse. Across the wild."

Lin Rui was taken aback, and shook his head. "If this is the case, the problem would be serious. Then why would he move ordinary villagers? Judging from his cruel methods of dealing with those villagers, he is not someone who cherishes the people. people."

"You don't understand these warlords. In their view, people are also a kind of resource, just like gold mines and diamond mines, but it's a bit cheap. Soldiers are needed for combat, and labor is needed for mining. General Dunby is unwilling to follow these people too The dissemination of the vx agent burned the jade and the stone. In his opinion, these ordinary people are still useful to him. This also proves that the use of the vx agent is already within his plan. As long as the battle situation further deteriorates, he is likely to use it. This kind of poison is used to deal with Harlott's government forces." Zhao Jianfei said grimly.
