Chapter 6210: Doubtful
Chapter 6200 Doubtful
Lin Rui walked through the piles of camel saddles, cloth bags, food, water bladders and weapons on the carpet in the tent, and came to the tribal leader.
The tribal leader raised his hand, and Lin Rui sat down.
Someone handed over a three-inch high teacup, filled with hot tea.
The tribal leader raised his teacup, said a prayer in Berber, and drank it with his head raised.
Lin Rui was a little at a loss, and the tribal leader motioned Lin Rui to drink the tea like him.
Lin Rui imitated the example, said something to him in Berber, and said it all in one fell swoop.
I only feel that the tea taste is slightly sweet, very strong and very sweet.
The two kept toasting and drank a few cups in a row.
It seemed that the tribal leader was in a very good mood. He looked at Lin Rui intently, and said for a while, "You are very strong. Few pagans are as strong as you. What kind of **** do you believe in?"
Lin Rui looked up and said, "I'm not a pagan either, I just don't have any religious beliefs."
The tribal leader screamed in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Then how can you survive?"
Lin Rui smiled and said, "I believe in myself, and live like this. For people like us, asking God is worse than asking ourselves."
The tribal leader looked at him like a monster.
Lin Rui's thoughts turned, he didn't know why this moody person was looking for him.
The tribal leader shook his head and said, "Wang God takes pity on you, what are you doing in the desert? And those people before, those hijackers, how did you get mixed up with them?"
Lin Rui said: "I'm a passenger. Actually, I was snatched in on the plane. According to my original plan, I should be somewhere in South America now. I didn't expect to come here at all." Stuffing up.
The tribal leader stared at him as if to see if he was lying.
Lin Rui shrugged and said, "I think you should confirm my identity with Abdullah Azam."
There was a smile in the tribal leader's eyes, and he said: "Indeed. Do you know? He thinks highly of you. I have never seen him value a foreigner so much. I have nine wives, very beautiful wives, Each camel can be exchanged for at least ten camels. But Azam believes that you can exchange at least one hundred camels, one thousand, ten thousand, or even the camels in the entire desert.” Thinking of this, he suddenly closed his eyes and meditated.
When he opened his eyes, he let out a long sigh and said, "I respect Azam very much, he is the pride of the Tuareg people. And I believe that one day, he will unite all the tribes. The establishment belongs to us. own country."
Of course Lin Rui knew that the Abdullah Azzam he was talking about was the top leader of the Tuareg rebels.
In fact, he and Azzam have dealt with each other several times, and the cooperation is not bad.
The tribal leader changed the topic: "Do you mercenaries make a lot of money? It seems that you are very rich. Just your woman can buy at least 20 camels."
Lin Rui said lightly: "No, she is worth more, and it is not for sale."
The tribal leader said: "Okay, Mr. Rick. Based on our good relationship, I can guarantee your safety in the desert and send you anywhere you want, but you have to give us a reasonable reward. After all, we are from a group of The robbers saved you there."
Lin Rui smiled. He knew it was extortion, so of course he couldn't expose it. As long as it was money, everything would be easy.
So Lin Rui nodded and said, "You helped us, so it's reasonable to charge for it. How much do you want?"
A sharp light shot out from the tribal leader's eyes, and he said, "How much can you give?"
Lin Rui said, "Tell me a number."
The tribal leader pondered for a moment, then raised five fingers.
Lin Rui said, "Fifty thousand."
The tribal leader nodded and said, "It's US dollars."
Lin Rui said: "I can give you one hundred thousand, but there is one condition."
The tribal leader showed joy in his eyes, and said calmly: "What conditions?"
Lin Rui said, "Tell me what you want money for?"
The tribal leader said: "To buy weapons, weapons and ammunition are very expensive, well, how will you pay me?"
Lin Rui smiled and said: "I can give you a check, as long as you send someone to any US bank country, it will be cashed. Or I will directly provide you with a batch of more valuable weapons and ammunition.
With my connections and contacts, I guarantee it will be more cost-effective than buying it yourself. I know some nice guys who can give you discounts with just a phone call. "
The tribal leader said: "It's a deal. I will send people to Sudan. The round trip will take about 20 days. After 20 days, you can get all the equipment and people you need, and go to any point in this desert."
Lin Rui shook his head, "I can't wait so long, three or four days at most, I have to try to go to a place with an airport, I have important things to do."
The leader hesitated, "This..."
"You can microwave Abdullah Azam, you can have him contact my people and have them come. Tell him what's going on here, and they'll bring you a load of weapons and ammunition. It's worth absolutely More than 100,000. But I can only wait for three or four days, how about it?" Lin Rui asked.
"But can they raise enough weapons in three or four days, and can they rush here?" the tribal leader hesitated.
Lin Rui smiled, "We have contracted the logistics supply of the US military in Africa and the Middle East. During the mission, we can even guarantee that every American soldier can drink iced Coke. No matter where they are in the desert, or Are they fighting or resting."
The tribal leader looked at him in surprise.
When Lin Rui returned to the resting place, his greeting was very different. A tent was given up for him to rest.
Yelena breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him come back, "How is it?"
"It's settled, it's a small price, but it's just an extra friend. These Tuaregs are very brave, and there are many places where they can be used. So maintain a good relationship with them, for us It is necessary." Lin Rui replied.
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Yelena nodded, "But I still can't let it go."
"What?" Lin Rui asked.
"I just find it a bit weird. Why did we get hijacked so coincidentally and ended up here so coincidentally. If it's just a coincidence, why did these Tuaregs ambush the plane where it landed?
How did they know it was a group of hijackers? If we connect these things, does this series of things seem a little bit wrong? Yelena whispered.
Lin Rui nodded, "I also feel a little bit wrong, but it seems that it has nothing to do with it. Those hijackers are Colombian rebels, and they should have nothing to do with the Tuareg people."
"That's the problem. Since the two sides have nothing to do with each other, how could they ambush these hijackers here? Why?" Yelena frowned.
Lin Rui thought for a while and nodded, "There are indeed some problems, but we shouldn't say anything about it now. Anyway, I have already agreed to their conditions, and our people will arrive in three or four days at most. When our people arrive, we will ask them to clarify .
Now, let's put it mildly, they are their valued guests. To put it bluntly, it was the meat tickets they used to exchange for ransom. And we don't know exactly what role these Tuaregs played in this sequence of events.
For the time being, we should not rush to understand the inside story, so as not to arouse their vigilance. When our people arrive, they have to obediently say what we want to know. "
Yelena thought about it, and she was right. In fact, Lin Rui had already noticed that something was wrong, but he was calm and didn't put these doubts on the surface at all.
After all, they are still under the control of each other, and they can't do anything alone. If the other party knows something but refuses to tell him, there is nothing he can do.
After the Tuareg tribe rested overnight, they started their never-ending journey the next morning.
The scene of the desert is monotonous, and every place is the same, repeated and duplicated of the environment just now.
Soon, people lose interest in watching it.
The sand dunes still extend continuously beyond the horizon, and under the action of the wind, they are clearly divided into Yin and Yang.
The sand on the side facing the wind is tightly packed and quite firm; on the other side, it is so loose that your whole leg sinks in when you step on it, and the hot sand can boil eggs.
The team zigzags across the dunes at a snail's pace.
The camels were very nervous and kept howling. Sometimes camels stopped and refused to move forward, making the speed even slower. Because the strange sound broke the tranquility of the desert.
The sound came from the south at first, it was inaudible, and after a while it became a clear tremor.
The camel jumped up.
The Tuareg jumped off the camels one after another to calm the frightened camels.
When Lin Rui looked up to the sky, a black spot in the south gradually expanded.
It's a helicopter.
Lin Rui froze. In the past ten days in the desert, this was the first time he saw a vehicle produced by modern civilization.
Lin Rui felt a surge of enthusiasm, assuming the helicopter could take him away, he would pay the most expensive air ticket. But he also understands that these helicopters may come from bad people.
The tribal leader shouted: "Scatter!"
The Tuareg fighters immediately dispersed in all directions, like a hive being attacked, and the hornets scattered.
Lin Rui did not forget to look in the direction of the tribal leader, and saw a few soldiers behind the tribal leader, leading a strong male camel with an anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on its back.
The helicopter came over their heads and circled.
The helicopter flew very low, and you could see three or four big men on board, watching them from a distance, some of them were holding automatic rifles.
And this helicopter doesn't have any signs.
Lin Rui's heart trembled, and he was about to jump off the camel. The helicopter flew away, leaving a small spot in a short while.
Everyone was in doubt.
Half an hour later, regroup the team and continue the journey.
If nothing ever happened.
The tribal leader's face darkened, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. And someone in the guard beside him has already shown a surface-to-air individual missile.
A shadow cast over Lin Rui's heart, which was not a good sign, but he didn't know where the problem was.
At twilight the place to stop was a series of granite hills traversing the desert, the sands of which had turned to hard boulders. The mountains in the distance are undulating.
It was still barren and barren, but it felt much better, and the dullness of the plain was a little less.
The tribal leader issued an order to set up camp early.
The tribal leader seemed to be a little afraid of the hills ahead, so he gave the order to rest and gave up the good opportunity to take advantage of the cool time after the sun went down.
Camping and resting is busy work.
The Tuareg unloaded the cargo and saddles from the camels, made them lie down, and tied their feet together with ropes to make it difficult for them to escape.
This sequence of work will take at least two hours.
When the Tuareg hustle and bustle, the mutation stands out.
Six helicopters formed a group of three and flew from the south in two shapes.
The tribal leader quickly made a decision and shouted: "Ready to fight!"
The Tuaregs are worthy of being powerful warriors who dominate the desert. Even in such a harsh environment, they can still quickly disperse into the hills to find a place to hide.
Lin Rui was suspicious. If the enemy wanted to attack, he should choose the desert where there is no danger to hide, which is the best strategy, not the place where he can hide in the mountains.
The helicopter spread out and became surrounded from all directions.
The machine gun sounded, and bullets shot at the Tuaregs like a rainstorm, and those who couldn't escape fell to the ground.
The Tuareg fought desperately.
Those helicopters hovered nimbly and carried out the massacre in an overwhelming manner. In less than fifty seconds, at least a dozen people were blood-stained on the yellow sand.
Blood splattered and dust flew all over the sky.
Lin Rui knew that if left alone, the helicopter would harvest them like weeds. He lifted a light machine gun from the camel and hid behind a rock.
Just as a helicopter swooped down, the two guns on both sides of the nose flashed, and several Tuareg fighters who were about to rush behind the rock staggered down with blood dripping from their bodies.
Lin Rui picked up the machine gun and put it on the stone. He adjusted his posture so that the tripod of the machine gun was in a more stable shooting position. At the same time, he quietly calculated the distance between the helicopter and him, and guessed the flight route in the mind of the other pilot.
The helicopter continued to dive, and when it reached the lowest point, only more than ten meters above the ground, and was about to ascend to the sky, the light machine gun in Lin Rui's hand flashed with fire.
A series of bullets shot out, the front glass of the helicopter shattered immediately, and the pilot driving the helicopter was bleeding all over his body.
The helicopter passed over Lin Rui's head and crashed straight into the top of a small mountain, bursting into flames.
The Tuareg fighters shouted at the same time.
Lin Rui looked to the left and saw Yelena waving the AK47 in his hand to greet him. It's a pity, if she had an anti-material sniper rifle, there would be no way for these helicopters to fly so low and massacre the Tuaregs below.
Lin Rui retreated into a hill. He knew that he must have attracted the attention of other helicopters just now, and he had to change the shooting position immediately.
Lin Rui dodged left and right under the cover of rocks, avoiding the enemy's attack and revenge.
Smoke bombs were dropped from the helicopter from time to time. Obscure vision.
Lin Rui also couldn't grasp the kind of strategy the enemy was adopting. Another helicopter exploded in the sky, probably hit by a Tuareg surface-to-air missile, because Lin Rui clearly heard a burst of cheers over there.
