Battlefield Contractor
Chapter 4661: Gewu Camp
Colombia's Antioquia province, the former resident of the 31st Army of the Colombian Armed Forces. After the Colombian government and the anti-government armed forces signed a ceasefire agreement, some anti-government armed forces still live in the jungle.
Heat, humidity, slopes, all of this will make it uncomfortable to travel long distances here. After Lin Rui and the others arrived in Colombia, they set off from a small town, where they brought supplies and equipment from the coordinator puppets.
In the high-humidity, hot Colombian jungle, even standing there can cause the body to sweat. Slowly, before the most difficult journey began, most of the team's shirts were soaked in sweat, forming a larger shadow of concentric circles. Unfortunately, in the jungle, anything that is wet will always remain in that state.
Even if they have gone through the test in Africa, they must take frequent breaks and hydrate their bodies to avoid heat stroke.
But the opportunity to rest is always short, because once their breathing starts to stabilize and no longer gasps, they will have to walk for longer periods of time.
The road leading to the camp of Colombian militants is an ups and downs mountain road, and rivers appear in the jungle oasis. The team hiked through the jungle, like being barbecued in a furnace, but no one dared to jump into the river. It is said that some rivers in South America have Piranha.
Piranhas have distinctive triangular teeth with amazing bite force and can easily tear their prey apart. When eating, they eat their prey cleanly, leaving only a pile of bones.
Flocks of piranhas, some up to 200 mm in length. This kind of fish often eats only the bones of animals that strayed into the water in a short time, and even eats those who stray into the water.
Piranhas have become one of the most notorious animals due to their sharp teeth and groups of attacking large animals. Therefore, some people call them piranhas.
In the remote part of the Colombian jungle, there are dense foliage and breathtaking scenery everywhere.
The mountain roads are covered by slippery moss, like adding an extra defense mechanism to the guerrillas deep in the jungle. Every step is very narrow. It seems that these trails are designed to prevent invasion.
Lin Rui and others ran into a few Colombian armed soldiers with guns in their hands. He knew that he should be approaching the camp of the Colombian armed forces. Those soldiers didn't seem to be hostile to foreigners, so they turned and left after seeing them.
But when they went inside, they were stopped.
Several Colombian militants asked to inspect them. Lin Rui took out his pistol from his clothes and placed it in front of them.
"Weapon?" The militant's eyes became sharp.
"Self-defense." Yelena looked at him.
"What about you? All have weapons too?" The soldier hesitated.
"Yes, we can put down all the weapons. In fact, we are here to find someone. We have brought the ransom. We discussed before, come to Van Sofia and pay the ransom." Lin Rui opened a bag. Let them look at the banknotes inside.
"That woman?" The Colombian militant nodded, "Leave all the weapons, bring the purse, and come with us."
Lin Rui motioned to the brothers to leave their pistols, and then followed them all the way into the camp.
Later, Lin Rui learned that this is the rule of the camp. Outsiders must be especially careful to enter any of these strongholds. They must contact the peripheral members around the stronghold in advance and pass their rigorous review before being allowed to enter.
Because he handed over the weapon as soon as he came, and also stated that he was here to pay the ransom, so he made an exception and brought him in. After entering, under the leadership of several guerrilla boys, they walked to the camp in the jungle.
Lin Rui noticed that these children were young and their bodies were still immature, but their eyes and movements were serious and deep that were not suitable for their age.
It is said that they all have several years of combat experience, and they are skilled in operating rifles, as if they were playing with an ordinary toy. In the whole process of leading the way, none of them actually spoke a word. It's not like a child's performance at all.
Eventually they arrived in a village consisting of many small wooden houses. An militant said that there is no electricity here, and local residents can only rely on fuel generators for electricity, which is only available for 4 hours every night.
In this village, I began to see members of the Colombian armed forces one after another. They were dressed in camouflage uniforms, mostly face scarves and hats printed with Spanish acronyms in red and black. They carried rifles on their shoulders and bullets in their belts.
Lin Rui asked Yelena next to him in a low voice, "How do you feel?"
"Typical rainforest, the road at the entrance of the village is lush with vegetation, and it is difficult for vehicles to pass. Therefore, if we forcefully save people, we need to find a way to escape.
But when I came in just now, I observed that as long as I passed a small road on the west side, there was a parking lot. It is estimated that the jeep over there should have a road that can lead to nearby towns. The defensive force of the entire camp is not tight. Yelena whispered.
"Be careful, we are here to save people. If we can avoid conflict, we try to avoid conflict." Lin Rui lowered his voice.
"No private conversations, especially in foreign languages." A militant stared at them.
Yelena responded, "He doesn't speak Spanish. I'm trying to translate for him. Otherwise, he doesn't know what you are talking about."
Lin Rui made a gesture of understanding.
The soldier turned around and stopped talking. A few minutes later they were taken to a wooden house. There were four or five people inside, all wearing camouflage uniforms, wearing masks, and holding AK47 assault rifles in their hands.
And the one sitting there seemed to be the leader, and he was shouting something in Spanish.
Yelena whispered, "He is complaining that we are late."
"Tell him that the ransom is not a small sum. We have to spend time to raise it." Lin Rui said calmly, "and we have to make sure that everyone is okay before we can pay the ransom."
Yelena negotiated a few words with that person, and turned back to Lin Rui, "He said this is not a ransom but a fine. They are not kidnappers, but soldiers of the Colombian armed forces.
Because those foreigners violated their rules by investigating the camp situation without authorization. That's why it will be punished. "
"Whether it is a fine or a ransom. We all need to make sure that our people are okay before we can pay." Lin Rui whispered, "Tell him that this set of things doesn't scare me."
After Yelena translated the militant, the militant did not get angry, but looked at Lin Rui, nodded to him, and said a few words.
"What did he say?" Lin Rui frowned.
"He said you look like a Vayu warrior. I can give you an exception." Yelena whispered.
"Wayu?" Lin Rui asked strangely.
"Probably a local Indian ethnic group. It means you look brave." Yelena whispered.
