Battlefield Contractor

"What are you laughing at?" Yelena walked to his side.

"It's nothing, it just felt a little ridiculous suddenly." Lin Rui turned to look at her and said, "Why don't we take a break, we will have to take action later. If you don't take enough rest, it will affect your physical strength."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Yelena sitting by the wall holding her gun, suddenly said, "Lin, why are you a mercenary?"

"My reason is very simple and common. It's just a lack of money. Really, I'm very short of money." Lin Rui looked at her and said, "At that time, I thought I would carry more than ten years of debt. With a low salary, linger at the bottom of the society. Until Silver Wolf Michelle gave me a chance, it is full of danger but it is an opportunity after all. Moreover, I can't think of what else I can do."

Yelena was silent for a while and said, "So, if you have money, you will leave?"

"This is the best result I can pursue. More likely, maybe I will leave without earning money, and a bullet can force me to leave. I never joined a private military company. Knowing that life is so fragile. There is an old Chinese saying that life is thinner than paper. It is the best comment on our line." Lin Rui said calmly.

Yelena was silent, but held her spear tighter.

"Yelena, you are a good girl, in fact you shouldn't do such a thing." Lin Rui said calmly.

"You don't know me." Yelena shook her head.

"No one can fully understand another person. Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand what we want." Lin Rui smiled slightly, "But so what? We still have to live. Whether there is tomorrow, at least We still have the present."

Yelena smiled sadly, "We have been abandoned by Morningstar. Do you think there is hope for us now? I mean, we are in a bad situation now."

"Morning Star Company is over, but at least Silver Wolf is still there. The things he promised to me will definitely keep their promises, so the things I promised to him will not change. Things are that simple." Lin Rui sighed. Think about it another way, we are already like this, what can be worse?"

"Are you really so optimistic?" Yelena smiled sweetly.

"It's not optimism, but helplessness. Because life is helpless, we don't have much choice. We are like chess pawns who advance without retreat." Lin Rui said calmly.

Vitalk didn't return until more than seven o'clock in the evening, his face was a little gloomy.

"How is the situation in the city?" Lin Rui asked.

"It's very bad. The so-called government spies are executed almost every day. Some of my old relationships have fled, and there are not many people left. It took me a long time to get into the power plant." Vitak said, "Things are a bit difficult. Due to its special status, the Mantebella Power Plant is not only heavily guarded, but the base camp of the Free Liberation Alliance in the city is near the power plant."

"How many people and how is the armed situation?" Ivan said immediately.

"There are at least three hundred people in the Liberty Liberation Alliance. Together with some small warlords, there are at least five hundred people. In order to prevent air raids by the government, they even used a few anti-aircraft missiles among the rebels. They are also deployed in the surrounding area, which shows that they attach importance to this." Vitalk whispered, "They implement access control, and entry and exit must be documented. And access is limited to the outside, and we can’t access the generator sets inside the power plant. ."

"The defense is so strict?" Qin Fen said in surprise, "Could they have taken precautions against us?"

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "They are not guarding against us, but the Harlott government forces. Hekou City is the key place to guard the Mantebella River, and the Mantebella Power Plant is of great significance to the rebels. That's why it led to such a situation. It seems that our previous estimates of the situation were somewhat underestimated.

Jiang An groaned, "I didn't think about this before, but the defense of the rebels seems to be far beyond our estimation. Is there something wrong with this?"

"What's the problem?" Peng Lefeng said.

"You think that the rebel army we met by the river before was going to reinforce the mining area along Highway 7. There should be at least one company in number. If we add the intelligence that Vitalk just heard, then this one The original total number of troops even reached more than 600 people.

This can be said to be extremely rare among the rebels. After all, this is not a front-line combat area. In an already occupied and relatively stable central city, is it suspicious that so many troops are stationed instead of being sent to the front? "Jiang An frowned and groaned.

"Isn't that the Mantebella power plant is very important? Maybe it is because of this that they will be stationed at so many people." Qin Fen thought about it.

"Not at all for this reason." Jiang Yan waved his hand to interrupt him, "The most important thing in the supply of electricity is to ensure industrial production. And Santujac is very backward, and there is no particularly valuable industry. General Dunby and his like, It's just a warlord, and he doesn't have such a long-term vision to develop industry. This can be seen from his large-scale sale of ore and raw materials instead of building related smelting and processing plants. In this case, he has spent so much energy to protect This is the largest power plant in central China, which seems a bit unusual."

Lin Rui nodded and said to Vitalk, "In Hekou City, have you found anything else?"

"Others are not abnormal, but I found that apart from the Liberty Liberation League rebels, there seem to be secret society people in the city. They are different from the Liberty Liberation League blacks. Grey uniform. The equipment is much better." Vitalk thought for a while.

"This is even more unusual." Lin Rui said with a look. "The people in the secret society have always been hidden deeply. Even if they build temporary bases, they will stay away from these rebels. Because they don't believe these rebels at all. Although they were hired by General Dunby in name, they were actually completely violent in combat. Take the Red Baron as an example, he simply didn't put Dunby in his eyes."

Jiang An nodded and said, "General Denby is just putting them in front of a puppet. The strength of the Santujak rebels is just an illusion. If it were not for the secret society to support him, Dengby would have been mixed up long ago. Can't go down."

"But what are these secret society members doing in Hekou City?" Peng Lefeng frowned.

"This is what I want to know. But I am almost certainly not a good thing." Ivan asked Lin Rui. "Are we going to leave tonight?"

Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Of course. No matter what secrets these secret society members hide, at least we have to try to get into the city first."
