Chapter 5441: Hunting the Jungle 2

"It makes sense." Quickly nodded.

"Check and see if there are any traces nearby. Stepping on broken branches or falling grass. There are more than a dozen of them, and it is impossible for them to leave no traces." Lin Rui knelt down and took a closer look.

Other mercenaries are also searching for suspicious clues nearby.

"Here is a discovery." Sausage beckoned to them in a low voice, "There is half a footprint here."

"Look at the imprint of these shoes. They are combat boots. From the lines on the soles, they are Panama bottoms suitable for jungle warfare. It seems that the Nightingales were well prepared for entering the jungle." Lin Rui touched the shoes on the ground. print.

"Next, we will definitely find more traces left by them." Lin Rui beckoned for the brothers to follow.

On the other hand, he sought the direction of his footprints and continued to explore forward. His judgment was correct, and soon they found more clues.

Including some footprints covered by dead leaves, and some burned ashes. It's just that these ashes, which have been covered with mud, are hard to find without careful observation.

"It seems that they have camped here. They have lit a campfire. But they are very cautious and have cleaned up all traces when they left." Lin Rui looked around vigilantly, "From this range, it should be Nightingale and Her group.

There are friction marks on the tree over there, but it shouldn't be caused by a wild animal. It's more like someone climbing up a tree.

It should be that when they were camping, the person in charge of guard stepped on the trunk and climbed up the tree to expand the warning area. "

Kuaima stepped forward and touched the soil on the tree with his hand, "The soil has dried up. In such a damp condition, if the soil is completely dry, it will take at least several days.

I guess these traces were all left a week ago or even earlier. "

"Yes, according to the weather forecast, it rained last week. In terms of time, it happened after they entered the jungle.

Cameroon's climate is humid, and the humidity is even greater after entering the jungle. Adding to the rain, everyone is probably wet.

That's why they camp here. Dry the clothes over a campfire, and then go back on the road. Because wet clothes will attract more insects, and wet clothes on the body will induce various skin infections. Yelena nodded.

"This also shows that they are still far away from the terrorist camp, otherwise they cannot risk making a fire. The light and smoke from the campfire are the most exposed targets." Lin Rui pointed to the front, "They should be Go in that direction."

"But there are no footprints leading there. How do you know they are going there?" Sergey asked.

"The reason is very simple. That direction points to the location marked on their file." Lin Rui pointed to the front, "Let's continue to move forward."

The whole team followed along. Soon they found more traces. Because the road ahead was very difficult to walk, they had to use a machete to clear the way, and they also found vines that had been felled.

Vines that have been chopped by a knife, even in such an environment, are unlikely to be fully recovered within a week, and there will always be traces of felling.

The woods are huge, and they are looking for their footprints. After two days of tracing. Finally came behind a boulder.

All traces are gone here.

After searching for a long time, the mercenaries were a little frustrated.

"It seems that nothing else has been discovered." Black Mamba walked over, "I have checked it twice wearing my brothers. It seems that all traces have started from here and disappeared. There are no footprints, no discards, and nothing. Something deliberately hidden."

"A team of more than a dozen people, it is impossible to say that it will be gone, you can look for it carefully." Butler couldn't help but say.

Lin Rui thought about it carefully and replied, "I know why they didn't leave any evidence. It was because it was raining, and it was low. Because the precipitation was too high, the water flowing from the heights left them behind. All the traces underneath were washed away.

Here are all traces of water scouring. These traces of sediment were obviously washed away by a lot of rain. They must have thought of this, so they wade through the water.

When the torrential rain continued, the mountain torrents coming down from the heights washed the area clean. "

As a result, these mercenaries were a little disappointed again.

Failed to find the whereabouts of Nightingale and the intelligence team, it seemed that he could only continue to search.

But just like Lin Rui said. This area was washed away by mountain torrents, and any traces were clean. No trace of Nightingale and the intelligence team could be found anymore.

Lin Rui and the team members discussed with each other and decided to follow the coordinates marked on the tablet.

If Nightingale and the others are heading in that direction, then continue to trace the past, and they will always find their traces again.

After more than three hours, they were getting closer and closer to the coordinates marked on the electronic map. At the same time, more messy traces were found.

"The boss has footprints here, and here too. There are cigarette butts over there." Khan whispered.

Lin Rui walked over and leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, a series of footprints and a few cigarette butts were found.

Lin Rui's face changed slightly, "We have to leave here. This is the area where terrorists in the Holy Land operate."

"How is this possible? We are still several kilometers away from the position marked on the drawing." Sergey couldn't help but said.

"It is true that we are still several kilometers away from the location marked on the electronic map. But I can be sure that this place is an area where terrorists often move.

If we want to approach the camp of the Holy Land terrorist organization without being discovered, it is best to find another road. Lin Rui shook his head.

"You mean, it's very likely that this is an outpost of theirs, or a temporary resident." The actuary asked.

Lin Rui nodded, "These shoe prints here are not consistent with those left by the intelligence team. They overlap with each other, and there is not much grass around. This shows that there are often terrorists coming and going in this location.

Therefore, it is very likely that this will be an outpost for them to perform security. Although we have not encountered an enemy yet, it is obvious that if we continue, we will easily encounter a large group of terrorists. "

"Damn it." Sergey shook his head. "We can't simply kill them and then ask them about the whereabouts of Nightingale? I think this is a good idea."

"First, you don't know how many enemies there are. Second, you don't know if the enemies are watching you in secret. Third, you can't predict whether they will sound the alarm.

Another point is that we still can't tell if Nightingale has fallen into their hands. If you ask rashly as you do, it's tantamount to directly showing your hole cards to the enemy.

Let's listen to the boss. "The actuary patted Kishi on the shoulder.
