The golden dawn dispelled the darkness, and the entire Forest of No Return woke up from its slumber. The roars of wild beasts came from the depths of the forest, and the calls of birds came from the treetops. The whole forest was full of vitality.
More than a hundred kilometers away, five strongholds of the Boca Haram armed group were destroyed, all of which took place in the dark night that has passed. When the sun rises, these killings and these ugly things seem to be evaporated by the golden sunshine and do not exist.
The forest did not end. A large mountain rose from the ground. Over the mountain, on the other side of the mountain was the Vientiane Group's Youyi Mining.
The opponent Giovanna raised a hand near the tunnel through the mountain, and the advancing team immediately stopped, waiting for instructions on the next move. The veterans were eager to pause. They ran more than a hundred kilometers. Although they took breaks, their recovery was far less than what they had consumed. Sure enough, as soon as Giovanna arrived and stopped on standby, most of the veterans of the relief association sat or lay down, and none of them wanted to move.
Xia Lei put down Shentu Tianyin from his back.
Shentu Tianyin was probably the most relaxed person in the entire team, because she spent most of her time on Xia Lei's back.
Shentu Tianyin reached out to wipe Xia Lei's sweat, but she found that there was not even a drop of sweat on Xia Lei's forehead. On the other hand, it was her, her body was almost soaked with sweat. She looked at Xia Lei with eyes. In her eyes, Xia Lei was no longer Xia Lei, but a man who was almost like a god.
A whistle suddenly came down from the mountainside.
An experienced veteran climbed up after him, and a few even opened the safety of the Wind Assault Rifle and entered combat mode.
Giovanna said: "Don't be nervous, he is one of our own."
The tension of the veterans relaxed a little.
Xia Lei also whistled in response.
A few minutes later, a petite but contented woman walked out of the forest at the foot of the mountain. Her appearance gave people a strange feeling of time and space, because she held a blast assault rifle in her hand, but also carried a samurai sword on her shoulder. She covered her face with a black scarf, and her exposed eyes were black and cold.
She was Tsukino Kyoko, and she thought she was the first member of the Zodiac Team that Xia Lei saw, so she showed up first. In her father's era, she would not even show up as a ninja under such circumstances.
After Tsukino Kyoko appeared, Angu Mihan, Saimu, Erdemutu, Yelena and Arecio also appeared one after another. Although there are only six of them, each of them is a super warrior, which is simply not comparable to the veterans of the Rescue Society.
"Who are these people?"
"Don't ask around. None of these people are simple people. From my experience, they are all executioners who kill without batting an eye."
There were some discussions among the veterans, but they quickly subsided. They are also people who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have lived under the gunpoint. They know who they can't afford to offend and who they can't get close to like demons.
Tsukino Kyoko came over, opened her arms and gave Xia Lei a firm hug. She knew Shentu Tianyin's identity, but she still couldn't help but do this. Fortunately, other members of the Zodiac Team also came over and hugged Xia Lei one by one. Otherwise, if she was the only one hugging Xia Lei, the situation would be different.
But even if Shentu Tianyin knew about her secret relationship with Xia Lei, it wouldn't matter. Shentu Tianyin would not be jealous of the seventh woman, Tsukino Kyoko, for the sake of the other five women. Xia Lei's women are almost forming a football team. If they are going to be jealous, they might as well open a vinegar factory. What's more, she doesn't have the capital or right to be jealous of Xia Lei now.
Arecio was the last person to hug Xia Lei. The Italian greeted Xia Lei in Italian, and then said with a smile: "Boss, I'm back."
Xia Lei also said in Italian: "Is your injury okay?"
Arecio said with a smile: "I can kill a cow now."
Xia Lei said with a smile: "That's good, there will be time for you to show off your skills."
He is the dragon of the Zodiac Team and the assaulter of the Zodiac Team, the most fierce and desperate one. He was injured during a mission against the Knights Hospitallers and now returns. If Liang Siyao is added, the existing members of the Zodiac Team will be gathered together. Xia Lei once wanted to organize Giovanna and the four of them into the Zodiac Team to take over the positions of Amanda, Park Taiyong, Bagu and Marcus, but later he discovered that it would be more valuable to develop the rescue organization if they did not join. But whether they join or not, the four female knights and the Zodiac Team are a team.
"Boss." Qian Jun spoke, "There is no signal when you enter the tunnel, and there is no signal on the mountainside or on the top of the mountain. This tunnel will be patrolled every two hours by a patrol team. In addition, there is at least one patrol in this area. A hundred Boca Haram people.”
Xia Lei said: "I know."
"You know?" Qian Jun looked surprised.
Xia Lei said: "There are one hundred Boca Haram armed personnel on this railway line, three hundred on both sides of the road, and two hundred in the area behind Youyi Mining. In addition, there are five hundred on the periphery of Youyi Mining. They acted as human shields for the American special forces. The person who made the deal with the Americans was named Ramarafa, and he was an important leader of Boca Haram."
"Where did you get the information?" Saimu couldn't help but ask. Even he, who was engaged in intelligence, had not obtained this information. Xia Lei had been running on the railway all night, how could he have obtained such information? information
Xia Lei said: "I took away a checkpoint, left one alive, and then forced myself to find out these things."
The real situation is that he asked someone what one plus one equals, and they answered honestly and correctly, and then he fired on the grounds that they knew too much. For that matter, the terrorist was not scary at all compared to him.
The Gray and Russo women came over.
Giovanna said: "Boss, we have gathered, what is the next step?"
Xia Lei said: "Let everyone go into the forest to lurk, eat and rest. They are too tired. If they encounter the enemy, they will not be able to fight. Wait until they are full and have slept well before taking action at night."
"No problem, let's go right away." Giovanna said. Rosa, Stella and Teresa also left behind Giovanna. The four of them were always four in one.
Xia Lei stopped them, "Wait a minute."
"Boss, is there anything else?" Giovanna asked.
Xia Lei glanced at Shentu Tianyin, and then said: "Tianyin, you go with them. Giovanna, this is the task I give you, protect her no matter what."
Giovanna was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Shentu Tianyin said anxiously: "I don't want to go with them. Where are you going? I want to go with you."
Xia Lei said seriously: "Tianyin, do you want me to take you to the battlefield? I am going to destroy the American signal shielding device. There will definitely be a battle. Do you want to die there?"
"I..." Shentu Tianyin felt scared. In such an environment, the only person she trusted was Xia Lei.
Xia Lei walked up to her, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about the child in your belly."
"Ah? I..." Shentu Tianyin couldn't believe what she heard.
"Be obedient and follow Giovanna. You can trust them." Xia Lei patted Shentu Tianyin on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Shentu Tianyin did not follow Xia Lei, Xia Lei's words had an effect. She and Xia Lei had used up the bottle of antidote in the past two days. According to Tang Yuyan's experience, she probably had a dark knot. In such an environment, how could she not think about the child in her belly? Although this is just a guess and has not been confirmed, even if there is only a 1% possibility, she is not willing to take the risk.
It is the nature of every woman to protect her children, and she is no exception to this.
"What are you still doing? Let's get out." Xia Lei walked towards the tunnel entrance.
"We are fighting a tough battle again," Angumihan said, and then he smiled again, "But I like it."
"Boss, do you know where their signal blocking device is?" Saimu asked.
Xia Lei said: "They will definitely build a radar station, and the signal shielding device will definitely be at the highest location in this area. I think it will not be difficult to find. If you can't find it, leave one alive and I will interrogate it."
Tsukino Kyoko said: "If you want to survive, it will be too much. I will take care of this matter. I will definitely catch a valuable survivor for you."
Xia Lei smiled at her.
Tsukino Kyoko changed the subject, "Boss, why did you bring your ex-wife here with you?"
Xia Lei, "..."
"Haha! Xingzi, are you jealous?" Angu Mihan said with a smile.
Tsukino Kyoko's eyes widened angrily, "Do you want to die?"
"Okay, I didn't say anything." Angumihan shrugged.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "She is the owner of Youyi Mining. The Americans robbed her mine. We can't get that mine back without her."
"What can she do?" Elena's voice.
Xia Lei said: "She can do things that we can't do. You think, even if we kill the American special forces in Friendship Mining, we also kill the armed men in Boca Haram, but whether it is Boca Haram or the United States, they can always We can mobilize more combatants to rush here. With just a few of us and the few people from the rescue society, can we hold it?"
This is Africa, and there are no Chinese troops stationed at all. Once a war breaks out, reinforcements from the United States can come continuously, but there are only so many people on his side, and even if the Friendship Mine is recaptured, he cannot hold it.
"Diplomatic negotiations plus protests?" Yelena said.
Xia Lei smiled and said: "That is a step that will only be done after there is no other way. Before that, I have my plan."
"Do you have another plan?" Arecio looked very interested, "What is it?"
Xia Lei said: "It's still brewing in my brain. I'll tell you when I perfect it."
His plan had actually been completed a long time ago, but he just couldn't tell the members of the Zodiac Team!
Some of the six zodiac team members shrugged, some smiled, and some were expressionless. They were not surprised at all when Xia Lei gave such an answer, because this was Xia Lei's style.
The tunnel is dark and there is no exit in sight.
Seven people, murderous.
