Chapter 34 Darkness
Five days later, in the evening, the sky had not completely darkened, and there was a little dark blue sky.
The breeze is clear and quiet, even the pine needles fall to the ground and the leaves are swaying clearly. Occasionally, one or two insects and birds are cried, accompanied by the gurgling water, which seems to make people forget the world outside the mountains and forests.
This is a forest near the Kilima Rozha Mountain in Kenyan. It does not have the desolate and hot feeling that Chinese people imagine. It only has the green that penetrates the hearts of people. Many leaves reflect moist water light, full of vitality.
However, during this period, all kinds of tourists, guides and porters arranged by travel agencies have set up camps. The strict tourism management regulations are even so detailed that everyone can carry no more than 20 kilograms. It can be seen that the tourism development here has reached a very complete level.
But suddenly...
A sturdy figure emerged from the middle of the dense woods. On his left shoulder, he was like a gecko, holding a small figure tightly. Naturally, this was Qi Tianlin and Tiya.
They had been trekking in the jungle for two days. The car was parked in a small town ten kilometers outside the jungle and only brought some simple camping supplies. Qi Tianlin planned to enter alone, but his little tail was irresistible, so he had to bring it with him.
Originally, when entering such a mountaineering route or jungle adventure, you must have a local guide and a porter to accompany you. Qi Tianlin doesn't need it because he has the best locator on him, and he knows what direction he wants to go. In addition, there is also a captured walking GPS, record the route trajectory when he goes, and just return the same way.
The most important thing is that survival in the jungle and wilderness is Qi Tianlin's specialty. However, after leaving Asia, I haven't lived in the jungle like this for a long time, and I feel a little excited.
Looking at the distance from the stream where the sound of water is heard, it will not be disturbed by the beasts drinking at night. Qi Tianlin put down the somewhat confused Tiya and pointed to a slightly sunken slope: "Just build a shelter here..." The little gecko rubbed his eyes and immediately began to search for various dry firewood on the ground. The branches were about to make fire. Qi Tianlin put down his not-so-large backpack and carried the M4 rifle to get a little game. This was the most suitable to eat it with dry food.
Generally, Qi Tianlin chose to fight rabbits, and one or two of these things were enough. He also found that in the dense forests of this mountain range, animals without any natural enemies were growing everywhere like mice in love, and there were so many that for a familiar hand like him, he didn't have to worry about having no prey at all.
But today is a bit special. When he passed by a tree root groove, he found some traces of rubbing off the bottom of the tree roots. According to his experience, there should be wild boars! It seems that the taste can be changed today...
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, he saw the hoof prints. He judged the size, which should not be too big. Qi Tianlin sneaked over and saw a little wild boar worth dozens of kilograms, hummingly arching the ground behind a bush. Qi Tianlin quietly picked up the rifle, adjusted it with the breath he had developed habits, and was ready to fire it!
Suddenly, the wild boar seemed to be alarming it, raised his head, looked around and looked around with caution, and was about to run away. Qi Tianlin did not hesitate. With a "puff", the silencer covered the gunshot well, and a bullet hit the heart of the wild boar's front shoulder blade. He fell down and twitched for a few times and then stopped moving. But he did not go over to check the prey immediately, squinted his eyes, slowly calmed down his mind, and felt the movement in the dense forest...
Animals are usually hundreds of times more sensitive than humans in hearing and smell. Some breeds can even hear sounds dozens of kilometers away. However, this kind of concentrated listening sound in the jungle can reach a long distance when used in the current Qitianlin...
It seemed that someone was talking softly in the wind. It was English. Qi Tianlin didn't care. There were not many tourist teams here. But he was about to relax and get up when he heard two words: "Southeast, that baby..."
Southeast? Qi Tianlin's direction of his own travel is also southeast. He relies on the different light intensity guidance of the warhammer and moves forward in a straight line, almost without defending the influence of the terrain. Although he doesn't know what he will see, with the precedent of the warhammer, he probably can't tell what it is. Does anyone know?
Just judged that the distance was a bit far, Qi Tianlin held the rifle without hesitation and started moving quickly in the jungle, quickly and silently approaching the direction of his speech...
The rapid progress in the jungle is mainly to avoid the sound of landing and the half-high branches and vines hang themselves and their weapons. Qi Tianlin uses the method of raising his legs and moving forward with his feet vertically rising and falling so that he will try not to drive the dead branches and leaves on the ground. Every step is to the toes, and the weight of his body is still on the back foot. Stand firmly in front to make sure there is no sound, then put down his heels and repeat the back foot. It sounds complicated. For a soldier who has been repeatedly tempered, this secret way of traveling in the US Army textbook can be used to run, as fast as a cheetah in the forest, quickly approaching this camp one kilometer away!
Slowly pushing away the bushes in front, Qi Tianlin was surprised to find that this was a team of dozens of people. From the appearance, about half were local black men's porters or guides, while the other half were Westerners with live ammunition!
Observe the guns and clothing of these Westerners, and Qi Tianlin is sure! These people are all mercenaries, namely Pry contractor), private military contractors! It is the same nature as the desert eagle in the past!
The Kilima Roza Mountain is on the border between Kenyani and Tanzanian. There has been no major turmoil in these two countries in the past decade. There is almost no decent business for PMC companies here. What are these mercenaries doing here?
Moreover, according to Qi Tianlin's professional observation, this equipment that can be regarded as a platoon-level team is equipped according to frontal attack missions. A relatively large amount of ammunition and additional individual rockets are worth it in this area that has been peaceful for many years?
You know, even in the chaotic situation of Leahbi, the Western special forces soldier who was shot dead by Tiya was equipped according to stealth missions, and the weapons were only used for defense. What exactly did these people in front of you want to do?
While wondering, Qi Tianlin searched for the person who started talking, and finally found him next to a bonfire!
It was obvious that the mercenary captain sat with a man wearing a hunting suit and a round-headed travel hat. Due to the colonial rule of Africa for hundreds of years, many Europeans regarded this place as their own garden and came to explore treasure hunting. They were more familiar with the history and culture here than the locals. The travel hat a bit similar to that worn by the Vietnamese border defense force is a typical symbol of such people.
The mercenary captain was a little hesitant, and his voice was still low: "These locals were already a little opposed, and they said we were heading towards their forbidden land."
The travel hat is full of concern: "I know I'm going to the forbidden place, but that's our destination."
The captain asked: "What should we do? As soon as they quarrel, we were exposed."
The travel hat snorted: "We originally planned to walk through here and leave from the other side. If they react, they will kill them all. Anyway, this beautiful jungle also needs to add some black fertilizer."
The captain is not afraid of: "You have to pay extra money to kill civilians!"
Travel hat contempts: "I will not be stingy when I promise to settle the matter later. My goal is just that thing. If there are other things around, they are all yours, okay? Maybe you will not be interested in asking me for compensation by then."
Qi Tianlin couldn't help but feel a little shocked. For PMC, killing civilians is a dividing line. It seems that these people are the legendary bloodthirsty contractors walking in the dark shadow!
