In the southwest of Nairobi, Kenya's capital, northwest of Lake Magadi, and east bank of the Engiro River, workers were busy on a drilling site with the logo of Mobil Oil Company hanging. From time to time, several workers stopped their work, picked up towels that emitted a sour smell and wiped off their sweat, and threw resentful eyes at the scorching sun hanging high above. Before they put down the towels, they had already cursed the damn God in their hearts hundreds of times.

In the bushes 800 meters northeast of the construction site, a group of newly filled lions were enjoying the cool air. The two leading adult lions were staring at the humans behind the barbed wire with great enthusiasm, as if considering whether to add an appetizing little dot to dinner. Several female lions were busy dealing with a group of playful and joking young lions, and occasionally called back the outliers, as if afraid that they would be harmed by the mysterious visitor.

As the sun travels westward, the darkness will bring a hint of coolness to this forgotten land by God.

In the evening, the lions stood up and left the bushes and slowly walked towards the grasslands in the north. The two adult male lions still looked back from time to time. The aliens in their eyes were about to complete the last job today. The male lions were reluctant to give up their prey at their mouths, but they could not do anything about it. The female lions were not very interested in those things that were walking on both feet. They probably felt that the prey was too thin, without taste and could not fill all the lion's belly. Perhaps in a few hours, they would hunt a wildebeest or a bison on the grasslands in the north, so that all members of the family, especially those young lions who are thriving and needing a lot of food, would receive enough nutrition.

The night slowly fell, the ground was covered with black quilts, and the lights on the construction site also lit up.

In the bushes where the lions were enjoying the coolness during the day, two gray figures crawled out from the ground and disappeared into the darkness. Eight hundred meters away, workers were having supper, and no one noticed this slight change.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

In the bushes, the two figures started to talk in a low voice. They were not ordinary people, but special forces soldiers with unique skills, and the true king of soldiers.

"Are you talking about a lion?" the man on the left smiled coldly and said, "The most terrifying enemy is not a beast, but a man."

"Luckily I am your partner, not your enemy."

Both of them laughed. The whine sound of the wild bison coming from the north covered the conversation between them.

The lion group succeeded. One life left, allowing more lives to gain the right to survive.

This kind of thing happens every day on the prairie, repeating and endlessly.

Some workers had supper and returned to the construction site. The drilling machine started again. The roar of the motor immediately buried the sound of the earth in nature.

"Lao Kang. Do you think there is oil here?"

"Oil? I don't know. Anyway, they are not looking for land."

Kang Xiaoting, 28 years old, is from Cangzhou, Hebei Province. He is a special force, commonly known as the "Lion", a captain special force. He has served for ten years, of which eight of which are spent in the special force. He is a real "veteran". Like all Hebei people, he has a strong body, a generous personality, and a tough style. Because he came from a martial arts family, he had already developed a good skill before joining the army. After joining the special force, he was even more in the water and his kung fu went further. He won the championship in the military region's fighting competition for five consecutive years. In addition, Kang Xiaoting ranked among the top in the team in terms of reconnaissance, lurking, shooting, etc.

"Then what are they looking for?"

"I don't know." Kang Xiaoting shook his head and glanced at his partner, "Xiao Su, have you participated in that secret operation in Iraq three years ago?"

"Iraq?" The young man shook his head, looking both embarrassed and envious.

Su Mingjin, 24 years old, from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was a second lieutenant special forces soldier of the 103rd Unit. He joined the army six years ago, joined the special forces four years ago, and officially became Kang Xiaoting's partner two years ago. Although he was only an observer of the sniper team, in last year's team shooting competition, Su Mingjin defeated all the heroes and won the championship, and made a big splash since then. Unlike Kang Xiaoting, Su Mingjin's figure is a bit thin, making people feel very weak. Of course, this is just an appearance. Su Mingjin's grandfather participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, and later followed the troops to revolt, participated in the Liberation War and the Korean War. His father was also a soldier, and he lost an arm in the southern border counterattack. When he was born, the blood of soldiers flowed in Su Mingjin's body, and he was destined to inherit the "family business" and become a soldier, an excellent soldier.

"Did you see the drill pipes on the construction site?"

Su Mingjin picked up the glimmer night vision telescope and adjusted the focal length.

"The total length is less than 200 meters." Kang Xiaoting pulled the camouflage net that was covered on his head. "As far as I know, there are few oil fields in the world that can use a drill rod of 200 meters to produce oil. In addition, the geological activity in the Great Rift Valley in East Africa is very frequent, and a major earthquake only occurred last month. There is no oil here at all."

Su Mingjin put down his telescope and cast admirational gaze at his partner next to him.

"If you look closely at the way the workers look when they walk, don't you think they have all received strict military training and are all soldiers who have served for several years?" Kang Xiaoting smiled coldly and said, "Also, look at the mobile house near the river bank in the southwest corner of the camp. Do you see? The mobile house that can be pulled with a trailer. From last night to now, no worker has entered, but there is always a group of workers around. If I guess correctly, what we are looking for is in that mobile house."

"Do you need to scan it with an instrument?"

"No, you can't alarm the snake." Kang Xiaoting immediately called his partner. "This group of people must be professional soldiers, mercenaries, or like us, special forces, not oil drillers at all. They must have installed anti-reconnaissance equipment in the camp, and the inner wall of the mobile house must have been equipped with radiation-proof linings. The detectors we brought are not useful. Don't worry, it won't take long before we will know what is hidden in the house."

As soon as Kang Xiaoting finished speaking, a beam of light fell on the bushes, and the two immediately buried their heads.

A slight vibration came from the ground, and the light column slowly moved away. When the two raised their heads, a convoy of more than ten off-road vehicles drove along the dirt road west of the bushes. The two workers guarding the construction site door pushed open the iron gate, and all the workers on the construction site stopped working and returned to the tent one after another.

The convoy stopped in the open space north of the construction site. More than a dozen fully armed personnel wearing civilian costumes got out of the car. The workers who walked out of the tent also carried armed belts and carried light weapons such as guns.

In the bushes, Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin also took action.

Kang Xiaoting slowly pulled out the Psg-1 sniper rifle placed beside him, and slowly installed a customized shimmer scope. After returning the scope to zero, Kang Xiaoting took out a magazine containing twenty bullets from the armed belt on the right waist, then carefully checked the barrel before loading the magazine, and pulled the bolt and loaded the first bullet into the barrel. Finally, Kang Xiaoting gently mounted the guardrail of the sniper rifle on the backpack in front of him covered with dead grass.

Su Mingjin also quickly checked the mg4 light machine gun he carried, then took out the notepad he carried with him, and recorded the distance data of the iconic reference objects recorded on it and in his mind. These data were measured by them with a laser rangefinder when the construction site was attacked by a group of hyenas last night. During the battle, he did not need to use the rangefinder to measure the distance of the target one by one, but used the shooting reference objects, combined with other data such as wind speed, to quickly provide the shooting parameters of the target to the shooter, that is, Kang Xiaoting.

All lighting equipment is turned on at the construction site.

A middle-aged white male in a suit walked to the door of the mobile house with more than a dozen armed personnel. The other armed personnel quickly dispersed to form a line of defense. The middle-aged man took out a magnetic card from his body and swiped the probe of the electronic lock. A small keyboard popped out from the door panel next to the probe.

"550gm smart password lock, cia equipment."

Su Mingjing quickly took out a professional camera-style special equipment from his backpack.

As the white man entered the password on the keyboard, the door of the mobile house popped out, revealing a crack in the door. Su Mingjin aimed the front end of the instrument at the mobile house, and a obviously raised ripple immediately appeared on the small screen at the back end of the instrument. As the door opened, the ripple on the screen became steeper, and finally broke through the red line in the middle of the screen.

"The radiation characteristics are completely consistent and the target properties are determined."

"Send a signal." Kang Xiaoting wiped his right hand holding the gun on his backpack, removing the sweat from his hands.

Su Mingjin took out a special micro communication station from his backpack and pointed the radio's arc antenna to the night sky above his head. As the radio started, a group of mixed frequency electromagnetic wave signals that could not be seen or heard, but had extraordinary meanings rushed into the night sky and flew to a geosynchronous communication satellite 36,000 kilometers away from the ground. Then, this group of signals passed through another geosynchronous communication satellite and arrived at a military base more than 10,000 kilometers away like lightning.

About two minutes later, the white man walked out of the mobile house.

When he ordered the surrounding armed personnel to hang the mobile house on a trailer, an armed personnel ran to him. After whispering, he looked at the bushes where Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin were.

"Damn it, I was discovered!" As he said that, Su Mingjin pulled the bolt of the machine gun and put the bullet into the chamber.

On the construction site, a white man blew a whistle and gestured to the surrounding armed personnel. More than a dozen armed personnel immediately jumped on two off-road vehicles and drove towards the construction site gate.

The workers who had just been armed also acted quickly, and they were all proficient in individual tactics.

Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin were not nervous, but were very anxious. The time left for them was only a few minutes.
Chapter completed!
