Firepower is king

Chapter 42 No Abandonment

The time to come back was much shorter than the time to go, because there was no need to explore when coming back, but it still took an hour to come back.

George and Rubber seemed fine, but Frank was different. He was covered in mud and looked very depressed.

Gao Guang finished his dialogue, and now it was Frank's turn to speak.

"We didn't go far after we landed. The bushes and ferns were very dense. The bottle cap opened the way in front and I was behind. We were about ten meters away. Then he was suddenly thrown down by a man coming from the bushes. On the ground, Bo Guai raised his gun to shoot, but he was hit, so I immediately took cover and fired back."

After speaking in a numb tone, Frank glanced at the three people with his eyes, and then said: "There are many enemies, but I only saw two, wearing green clothes, like military uniforms, I started to retreat, the enemy I pursued them, but it was not difficult to escape in the rainforest. Also, I judged that the enemy did not have a boat and they would not go into the water. There was no way to pursue them in the swamp, so I was able to escape."

Gao Guang didn't speak, but George said seriously: "That means we are relatively safe here."

Rubber was a little impatient. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why are there guerrillas here? There shouldn't be guerrillas here. The FARC has surrendered! They were completely disarmed last year, and they should be in the southeast!"

George whispered: "No, it is only a part of the FARC that surrendered to the government, and the FARC has been divided into three parts. The main body surrendered, the second branch defected to Venezuela and operated on the Venezuelan border, but there is a third Division, and there is internal strife between the Third Division and the Second Division, and the scope of the Third Division’s activities roughly covers our location, so... it’s very complicated.”

The FARC is the largest guerrilla group in Colombia and has been fighting against government forces for many years, but Gao Guang really doesn’t know where the FARC is.

Frank sighed softly, and then he said with a confused look: "Then... what should we do?"

Yes, what to do.

This is a swamp area, so it is not very dangerous. Even if the enemy has been active here for many years, it is impossible to pursue them through the swamp, because it is not a difficulty that can be overcome by willpower and physical strength.

But the plane is not that dangerous here. If they can evacuate easily, Frank and the others will lose the greatest motivation to fight. As for whether to rescue John, it depends on their choice.

Gao Guang's idea is simple. He wants to save John. If Frank and the others don't save him, no one will be able to leave.

Rubber sighed and said: "You still have to ask, of course it's to save the bottle cap."

George nodded solemnly.

Frank looked at Gao Guang feebly and said, "You are the only one who can speak Spanish. Are you willing to negotiate with the enemy?"

Gao Guang was a little surprised, because he really thought that Rubber and the others would not save John, especially Frank, who had obviously suffered a mental breakdown.

Gao Guang nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "I'll go!"

George shook his head and whispered: "Give up the negotiation method, it is unrealistic. The third branch of the FARC is known for its toughness and cruelty. Also, their main source of income is caffeine, so... you go You can only die."

Rubber said very irritably: "Are the four of us going to fight in and rescue the bottle cap? Are you kidding me!"

Frank said with a dull look on his face: "If the negotiation is just to die, then I will save the bottle cap myself. This is my responsibility, guys, I'm sorry."

The meaning of this apology is very complicated, but it is obvious that Frank's spiritual world has really collapsed, and he wants to die, or he doesn't want to live.

Now Gao Guang doesn't care if Frank has collapsed. He is just happy that Frank is willing to rescue John. He is also surprised that Rubber and George are willing to rescue John.

"Then let's go, we only have four hours."

Gao Guang made a suggestion. After the other three people were silent for a moment, Frank waved his hand feebly and said: "Let's go."

After getting on Frank's boat, the electric motor turned and the inflatable boat began to taxi at the fastest speed it could achieve. No one said whether the plane would be discovered if it stayed in place, and no one mentioned that if George died, there would be three people left. There is also the problem of not being able to leave.

This small team was more united than expected, and Gao Guang felt that he was not a villain in the first place.

The waterway is very tortuous and the speed is not very fast. Sometimes you have to get off the boat, lift the inflatable boat and walk for a while, and then re-enter the water. With such terrain, it is no wonder that the guerrillas will not pursue it, because it only takes a few dozen meters to trek through the swamp. People are completely exhausted.

The speed was relatively fast, and it took almost forty minutes to return to the place where Frank and the others were ambushed.

At this time, Rubber who was following the boat suddenly shouted loudly: "Captain, did you encounter an enemy camp or a small number of sentries?"

Frank opened his mouth but did not speak. Rubber continued: "If there were only a small number of sentinels, you could have done it..."

"Shut up!"

It was George who broke the rubber.

Although Gao Guang was a newcomer, he could tell that Rubber wanted to accuse Frank. He wanted to say that if Frank had not fled in a hurry, it would have been possible to rescue John instead of returning again like now.

Now John must have been captured and taken to the camp, and the difficulty of rescuing him was vastly different.

Rubber's accusation was reasonable, but now was really not the time to talk about this. Fortunately, George interrupted Rubber, otherwise Gao Guang felt that there might be internal strife.

Rubber was interrupted, but he did not shut up. He just sighed and said loudly: "Captain, your condition is not suitable for commanding. Now I will take command."

Frank nodded and said nothing.

The two inflatable boats are not far apart, so you need to speak loudly, but if you nod, you can still easily see the action.

If there was no internal strife, then there was still a chance for the rescue operation. Gao Guang patted Frank on the back and whispered: "Captain, cheer up, it's not time to despair yet. Even if there are many people, it's impossible to explore this kind of terrain, let alone without anyone." No one will explore it even if it has a clear purpose.”

Frank sighed softly and whispered: "Tell me, when Mr. Smith told me about this place, did he already know that there was a guerrilla camp here?"

Gao Guang couldn't answer this question, so Frank continued softly: "Ask again when you have the chance. If there is still a chance, we should get off the ship."

Of course, he couldn't go ashore at the original position. Frank controlled the rubber boat to stop. He turned over and jumped into the water. He took a few difficult steps in the mud and said to everyone: "Let's start here, it's a long way from the hard ground." close."

Rubber said solemnly: "I'll take command. Get off the boat here. Joey, Kung Fu Boy, take cover. Captain, give me your rifle and you tie up the boat."

Highlight got off the inflatable boat, and then he looked at Rubber and took the rifle from Frank with a serious face.

There were only two rifles in total, and the rifles were really not suitable for Frank to use now.

"Follow me, rookie, be careful, don't make any noise, leave the captain alone, take care of yourself, even if he becomes a madman, he is still a madman who knows how to fight, and you are just a rookie!"

After warning Gaoguang, Rubber and George walked ahead, wading through the muddy water and moving forward step by step.

Fortunately, the hard ground was really not far away. After walking hard for more than ten meters in the swamp, I crawled through a clump of unknown plants, and my high-gloss hands landed on the hard ground.

Frank was the last one to go ashore. Rubber looked around cautiously, and then he finally gently moved his hand forward, signaling to continue moving forward.

At this time, Gao Guang suddenly whispered: "Wait a minute."

He was a little embarrassed, but Gao Guang still whispered: "I hid the plane key under a piece of moss on the tree where the rope was tied. The piece is about two meters high. You can get it by lifting the moss. It's easy to find."

Both Rubber and Joey looked at Gao Guang with complicated eyes, but neither of them said anything. After a moment, Rubber breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Keep going."
