Chapter 168 Mine Clearance
After the previous three arrests, Saidu has understood what Chen Ling means by “soon”.
Saidou ordered the convoy to stop and prepare to take people into action.
The first three times were small troubles, but this time I was going to catch a big fish, and Saidu had to do it himself. There is no danger anyway. The first three times were not fired.
Chen Ling raised his hand to stop him.
“Don’t move, change me this time.”
Pushing the door and getting out of the car, Chen Ling added: “There are people from ODF.”
Saidu, who originally wanted to fight for a chance, immediately swallowed the words back into his stomach, emptied his right hand against his mouth, and cleared his throat.
“Patriarch, ODF people are professional and can fight very well…”
“It’s okay. We’ve reached the ground. You take people to prepare for excavation. By the way, prepare another video camera for Longli’s people. You will need it later.”
Saidu was unclear, so he turned around to make arrangements.
The surrounding trees are luxuriant with branches and leaves, blocking the sun, and there are birds singing among them. There are fresh ruts on the road, and a few drink bottles.
Chen Ling greeted Francois to his side.
“Are you familiar with ODF?” Chen Ling asked.
Francois shook his head: “I’ve heard of some, but I’m not familiar with it. Some are quite professional, not worse than me. I don’t know if they will come this time.”
“They are right in front, you take someone, come with me, catch and ask, you’ll know.” Chen Ling said lightly.
When François heard this, he became excited: “Finally, I am no longer a rookie!”
Chen Ling said with a light smile: “Almost, you have to bring more rope to tie people.”
François was a little disappointed: “Mr. Chen, did you do it yourself?”
“Since I have become the patriarch, I don’t want to hurt the tribe. I will try to stop the shot and solve the matter. All the tribe will be handled by Saidu, except for the leader; all the ODF people will be handled by you.” Chen Ling finished, and turned towards you. A middle-aged man with a tender face in the distance beckoned.
The immature face trot over: “Patriarch!”
“What’s your name?”
“Childish face!”
“I ask your real name… Forget it, just call your childish face… The last time you did a good job on the ferry side, you did a great job. How did you learn to dismantle bombs?”
Immature face heard Chen Ling’s praise and smiled shyly: “Patriarch, I used to be in charge of the bombing and mine clearance department in the army. Later, because Elder Saidu asked me to return to the family, I retired and returned.”
“Yes, very good. You and François will cooperate in a while, and there will be some mines to be cleared.” Chen Ling pointed to the dirt road ahead.
There was a sharp spirit on the immature face: “There are mines on this road? It’s too evil…”
François chuckled from the sidelines.
“Don’t you think it is evil? Burying mine on the road, what if a large animal steps on it?” asked François with a serious face.
Francois couldn’t help laughing. This immature face is really strange, not worried about bombing people, but worrying about animals!
At this time, Saidu had already brought a young man over, holding a video camera in his hand.
“Very good! Camera for me.” Chen Ling said, “Immature face, I will make a mark where there are mines, and you will go with Francois to clear the mines. I will take pictures of you all. ”
After breaking a few branches from the tree by the roadside, Chen Ling walked tens of meters along the dirt road, gently inserted the branches, and then walked forward, inserting a total of four branches.
The immature face was puzzled: “How does the patriarch know where there is thunder?”
“Shhh, don’t talk!” Saidu said in a stern tone, “just see it, don’t talk nonsense!”
François glanced at Saidou a little unexpectedly. This old man deserved to be an elder with a white beard, a little wise.
Chen Ling walked back, turned on the camera, and pointed at the immature face: “Go on.”
The immature face clenched the prepared shovel tightly, took a breath, and walked forward slowly, François following him far behind. The two men’s cautious look contrasted sharply with Chen Ling’s relaxed pace.
The immature face squatted down half a meter from the first landmine, then knelt on the ground and began to slowly dig soil around the sign.
The surrounding soil was very firm by the passing vehicles, and the place where the mine was buried was much looser.
The immature face dug a few times and saw a piece of metal exposed on the ground, and he moved his hand. He was already sweating profusely and couldn’t help reaching out to wipe the sweat.
“Brother, be careful!” Francois couldn’t help reminding.
The immature face turned his head, with a smile on his face: “Don’t worry, I am familiar with this kind of thunder.”
…
…
About one kilometer ahead of the place where Chen Ling’s motorcade stopped, there was a small valley. In the middle of the valley was a small river with turbid water. Two trucks and two crawler excavators were parked by the river.
A little further away from the small river, there are a few grass-green tents and some facilities, and some armed men with guns stand scattered around.
The whole environment looks like a team of illegal gold panning in the wild.
There was haha laughter from a tent, and a tall black man wearing sunglasses and a cigar in his mouth walked out.
The militants beside the tent bowed their heads and saluted respectfully.
“Chief!”
A white man with bronze skin came out from behind, and the shirt button on his chest was deliberately opened, revealing the thick chest hair inside.
The black man called the chief squeezed the cigar with his right hand and asked, “Is there no news from behind?”
“Not yet. I talked to their walkie-talkie, and no elders were found.” The militant said.
The leader turned his head and asked the white man: “Philip, what do you think?”
“Send someone over to take a look.” Philip said without hesitation. “The elders have already set off. It’s impossible that they haven’t reached this area yet.”
“But, we buried a landmine on the way here…” the leader hesitated. “There are three groups of people left in front of us. If there is any movement, they will definitely find out.”
Philip made no secret of the disdain on his face: “Boss, you and I know their job status. I send my people to look over and add a few more landmines by the way.”
The leader walked towards the river, shook his hand with the cigar towards Philip, and said, “Philip, I can rest assured that you are here! I have been digging for a whole day yesterday, and the exact location has been found. I can definitely get it today. ”
Philip muttered a few words in a low voice and arranged for someone to do something.
He has been sent to Mali by the ODF company for a few months. Apart from planning an attack on the Radisson Hotel, he has been doing nothing and has no interest in him. It wasn’t until a few days ago that the leader suddenly decided to come to dig out the treasures of his ancestors, did he bring his spirits up.
The Morris family is not well-known, but the experts of ODF have studied it very clearly. This family has a long history, fertile land, rich minerals, and there are ancestral treasures!
It is said that the headquarters started planning Mali a few years ago and put forward a huge plan to reproduce the French dominance in West Africa. This plan has received strong support from relevant departments, and many things that are usually inconvenient to do have been given the green light.
For example, the weapons brought to Mali this time, including those mines on the vehicle, were all supported by relevant departments.
This time I came to the woods to dig treasures. The headquarters was very concerned, because experts said that the ancestral treasure of the Morris family contained 20 tons of gold!
When Philip heard the news, he was so excited that he didn’t sleep well all night. If you have the opportunity to take charge of this operation, you have the opportunity to divide some of the 20 tons of gold. If there is no accurate data on things buried in the ground, who would dare to say that they are greedy?
So he took the most elite people around him, the best weapons, the box of mines, and the box of explosives.
Philip had already thought about it. If the excavator can’t dig, use explosives to explode; the boxes containing mines and explosives are just used to hold gold.
An off-road vehicle started and took Philip and two of his men straight to the place where the mine was buried.
