After parting ways with Yuri and others, Owen and Long Xiaoyun drove an off-road vehicle towards Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. The two people who were originally temporary partners actually developed a sense of comradeship because of a life-and-death relationship.
"You went to Kigali to save people?"
"Yes, a doctor from the Swiss medical team. My client asked me to take her back to Switzerland. I thought it was a simple mission, but I didn't expect that it would lead to so many things..."
They were bored on the road, and the two chatted casually. Originally, Long Xiaoyun was planning to get off the car at a nearby market to meet the mineral merchant he was responsible for protecting, but she changed her mind after making a phone call.
"I'm going to Kigali too."
Owen nodded, and of course he would not object to someone chatting with her on the road. Although this woman was not beautiful, she had strong fighting ability. In this chaotic Africa, strength is always more popular than face.
The off-road vehicle underneath him was driven very fast by Owen, and it took a lot of time to rescue Yuri. I hope nothing happened to Rachel.
As they went further south, the low grassland landscape gradually changed, and there were gradually more trees. In many cases, grasslands and jungles alternated, and the animals and plants gradually became richer.
The sky was covered with clouds, and it was still daytime, but there was a hint of night. The headlights of the off-road vehicle illuminated two beams of light. Soon it started to rain heavily outside.
Rwanda, where Owen and the others are located, belongs to East Africa. Africa does not have four seasons, only a dry season and a rainy season. South Africa and North Africa usually have a dry season and a rainy season for half a year each, but parts of East Africa and West Africa have two rainy seasons.
Rwanda has two rainy seasons, one lasting from April to June and one from October to December. However, the rainy season from April to June is notoriously violent, with sudden heavy rains often occurring.
It was the end of March when Irving came to Rwanda, but this year's rainy season seemed to have come earlier, and what Irving encountered was a sudden heavy rain.
In a very short period of time, dark clouds came over, lightning thundered, and then heavy rain poured down.
Owen did not dare to drive very fast in this environment, and the speed of the car was much slower. The heavy rain came and went quickly. After about half an hour, the sky cleared up, but the ground turned into a swamp.
After half an hour of nourishment, the whole world seemed to be different. The ponds were filled with water, the weeds on the ground had turned green from unknown time, and the plants in the jungle in the distance looked even more watery.
This kind of Africa was obviously something neither of them had seen before. The off-road vehicle was driving all the way, and the two of them sat in the car and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, the satellite phone rang. Owen thought it was Monica, but when he picked it up, it was a number he had never seen before.
When it was connected, a woman's voice came from inside.
"Is it Mr. Owen?"
The female voice on the phone was very polite.
"Yes, which one?"
Owen asked casually.
"I'm Rachel Adams and I called my mentor and he gave me this number..."
The content on the phone shocked Owen. When he heard that it was the target person, Owen slammed on the brakes, and Long Xiaoyun next to him said "Hey!"
Owen made an apologetic gesture and then asked: "Rachel Adams, where are you?"
"A small village called Bakli, 70 kilometers south of Kigali..."
"Are you safe now?"
"It is safe for the time being. We arrived in Kigali yesterday. We thought it was safe, but there is a war there. Like all big cities, government forces and the Revolutionary Front are fighting in the city. The airport has been closed. We
I had no choice but to continue fleeing south and came to this small village..."
"Is this number yours? Why couldn't I contact you two days ago..."
Owen asked his doubts, but his tone when talking about Rachel was filled with tears.
"Not long after we left Kampala, we were attacked by local armed forces. Dr. Kiir died and the satellite phone was lost, so you have been unable to contact me. We fled all the way to Kigal, and Angela also died on the way.
Yes, we were attacked by a pride of lions. Kapa killed a lion, but the lion also killed Kapa. I was the only one who escaped. They all died. When I was in Jigar, I met the Chinese medical team.
They took me in, and this phone number belongs to them..."
"Chinese Medical Team?"
"Yes, the Chinese medical team aiding Africa. They are very nice people. I fainted on the road. They saved me and took me all the way to this small village called Buckley, where they had been conducting medical treatment.
Sampling of Bolavirus…”
"Okay, Rachel, listen, wait there, I'll go find you right away, I'm about a day's journey away from you..."
"Okay, Mr. Owen, I will stay here. You must come. I don't want to die...ah..."
Ta-ta-ta...boom...
While Rachel was talking, the sound of gunfire suddenly came from the other end of the phone, making Owen panic.
"Rachel...Rachel..."
Owen kept shouting, but the other end was very chaotic, with various noises and heavy breathing. After Owen shouted for a long time, the other end finally got a response.
"Oh my god, someone is attacking the village, they are killing people, they have arrested Dr. Zhang, ah, ah, let me go, ah..."
"Rachel, Rachel..."
Owen yelled, but Rachel's voice suddenly disappeared. She must have encountered an accident. The sound of gunfire on the phone continued. Owen listened carefully. There were cries and AK gunshots everywhere. Owen still listened.
When it came to the explosion, it sounded like a mortar.
Then, the satellite phone went offline.
Owen put down the phone, his face ashen.
It was certain that something had happened to the person he was targeting, Rachel Adams, but he didn’t know whether he was dead or taken away. Owen didn’t even know who the attacker was.
A feeling of powerlessness came to his heart. This situation was very similar to the time when Amanda was attacked in France, except that time he still had the opportunity to teach Amanda to reveal as much information as possible. This time, except for a man named
I don't know anything about Buckley's place name.
"What happened?"
Long Xiaoyun in the co-pilot has been listening, especially after Owen mentioned the Chinese Medical Team.
Owen glanced at her and took a deep breath: "My target this time was rescued by the Chinese medical team in Kigali. They are currently hiding in a small village called Buckley in the south of Kigali, but just now,
Someone attacked the village and I lost contact with my target..."
After listening to Owen's narration, Long Xiaoyun's temperament suddenly became dignified.
"Let me use the satellite phone..."
After saying that, Long Xiaoyun got out of the car with the satellite phone, walked away for a while and started making calls.
Owen is now basically 100% sure that Long Xiaoyun is definitely an active soldier and must be a special forces unit. Although he has not heard of any female special forces in China, Long Xiaoyun's skills, her familiarity with various weapons, and her judgment of danger
and response are very accurate, which is definitely possible only for special forces who often perform missions abroad.
Moreover, Long Xiaoyun has to avoid Owen every time she calls. If she were a PMC, there would be no need for this.

At the same time, in the Indian Ocean, the USS Theodore Roosevelt Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier
In the briefing room, Captain Waters of the SEAL Special Forces Team was giving a mission briefing to the team members.
"According to intelligence from the CIA, the Chinese medical team in Rwanda has made a major breakthrough in the development of the Ebola virus. Our mission is to find and bring back their chief researcher, Dr. Chen..."

Really, watching several movies together is really fattening my brain, and a lot of my hair fell out. Please give me a monthly ticket.
