Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 707, Combat Mission

Paul's affairs had been uncovered, and Lao He drove away from the yard with the news, taking Paul and the other man with him.

Except for the man on night duty, everyone else went to sleep.

Yang Xiaole naturally went back as well.

The next morning, when he woke up, Lao He had already returned.

Seeing him wake up, Lao He smiled and said, "Why don't you take a nap? You haven't slept for a few hours."

We had started the fight in the middle of the night, and combined with the drive back and the interrogation, we didn't fall asleep until almost dawn.

Yang Xiaole yawned and smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to it. By the way, Lao He, have you dealt with it?"

Seeing this, Old He smiled and said, "Well, it's been handled. The people Paul confessed were all the ones they brought here to create chaos. This time they were eradicated completely, which will keep them blind for a while. During this time, we should be honest. It's a pity that we haven't found the people who transported the arms. It would be great if we could find them."

Yang Xiaole pondered over this for a moment, then asked, "Is it the official people here who took action?"

Lao He nodded gently: "Yes! I handed over the person and the information to the other party."

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly when he heard this.

It is normal to have contact with people through official channels here. In order to ensure the safety of the people here, except for a few contacts, all others are single-line contacts.

This time they contacted Lao He and his two companions.

The other lines are naturally unclear.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "By the way, didn't they say it was inconvenient for them to take action?"

Old He was obviously quite happy, and said with a smile: "It depends on the situation. We can't deal with it openly, but other means are still possible, provided that our intelligence is useful."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't ask any more questions.

Or maybe he shouldn't ask.

Thinking of lying dormant for a while, he asked, "By the way, Lao He, are we going to stay here next? I want to find a place for us to practice shooting. Is there a safe place?"

These guys still lack some shooting skills.

When I brought the men here, I sold the car, but kept all the weapons!
Old He pondered for a moment after hearing this.

After a while, he said, "This city is surrounded by rivers on three sides and mountains on one side. Beyond this mountain is the rainforest area. There are quite a few places there. It would be a good idea for you to hide there first."

Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows: "Okay, if there is no mission here for the time being, then we will go there first."

After hearing this, Lao He thought about it and said, "Then I'll go discuss it with Lao Wang."

After that, he left directly.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took his things and went to wash up.

After he was done, Lao He came over and said, "I just discussed this with Lao Wang. You can take someone over."

"Well, can you buy us two cars? Old ones will do."

"That's fine. You can come with me later and pick up Xiaosong by the way."

After Lao He finished speaking, he smiled and said, "It's just right. We got so much money and left some for expenses. It's enough."

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this.

It is normal to hand over a large portion of the money you earned previously.

After agreeing, he followed the other party to the city.

I got another old car from Wan Qing.

Then he drove to the hotel, checked out and picked Zhang Xuesong up.

The group came back again.

After breakfast, they took some food, dry rations and weapons and drove towards the mountains in three cars.

This road is not too close.

It was ten kilometers away from the mountain area, and we drove another ten kilometers into the mountains before we stopped at a place.

After Lao He came over, he looked at the place and said, "This is one of our former training grounds. There are some sheds here. You can only make do with them. There is also a river nearby. You can get drinking water from the river. You have to be careful. There are many wild animals and poisonous insects nearby."

Yang Xiaole took a quick look and saw that it was an empty area with a dilapidated shed not far away, but it looked like it had been abandoned for some time.

It was full of weeds.

He nodded gently, "Okay, I understand. The rest is up to us."

Lao He hummed and said, "Five kilometers east from here is the road we came from. If we want to go back, just go there. The road is easy to find. It leads to the depths of the rainforest."

"Well, I've memorized the way here."

Seeing him say that, Lao He didn't say anything.

Yang Xiaole asked people to move down all the things that were needed.

When I came here, I brought a hoe, a hatchet, pots and pans with me, so I don't have to worry too much about living here.

They were all experienced people. Zhao Gang took them to clean up the living place first. There was a stove but no iron pot.

I brought an iron pot with me this time.

Seeing that everyone was busy there in an orderly manner, Lao He said, "Okay, you guys be careful here. If there is a mission, I will drive here to find you."

Yang Xiaole agreed.

"Okay, you guys be careful too."

Then I watched Lao He drive away.

Yang Xiaole ignored these people and took a walk nearby.

Except for the open spaces in between, most of the other places are covered with dense woods.

The tropical rainforest, this lush and mysterious green kingdom, presents a vibrant and colorful natural picture.

The sunlight poured down from the gaps in the dense tree canopy, forming beams of light, illuminating the staggered and layered green leaves and vines below, as if it were nature's most exquisite light and shadow art.

The air is filled with the fragrance of moisture and earth, mixed with the rich aroma of various exotic flowers. Every deep breath seems to cleanse the dust from the soul.

The huge trees stood tall, their trunks covered with mosses and ferns, like green robes of years. The vines coiled around them like flexible snakes, sometimes hanging down to touch the ground, sometimes climbing high to the top of the tree canopy.

Birds fly through the woods, chirping or whispering, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this quiet rainforest. Occasionally, a colorful butterfly or bee will flutter its wings from the flowers, drawing a series of gorgeous tracks.

Yang Xiaole was moving around nearby.

This is the first time I have calmed down and looked carefully at this rainforest.

Quietly strolled around the area.

The rainforest is actually not very suitable for human living, and there are really no signs of human activity nearby, but there are quite a few different animals inside.

After checking the surroundings, he came back.

Yang Xiaole came back and saw everyone clearing the weeds there, so he joined in.

"Lao Hei! You want us to train here, but what is there to train for? It's Da Shitou, he needs some good training."

Xu Jinbu was busy there, and when he saw Yang Xiaole coming over he asked with a smile.

After such a long time, he dared to call Yang Xiaole Laohei.

Xie Lei's head went dark when he heard this.

Well, he is indeed the weakest among them.

But I can fly a plane!
But...it seems there is no plane for him to fly here.

Yang Xiaole looked at everyone with a look of disgust: "Your physical fitness is fine, but your shooting is really as bad as shit. We may have combat missions here in the future. I don't want to go back with your urns."

Physical fitness is part of it, but shooting is so important.

What's the point if you can't hit it.

This is a rain forest and is close to the mountains, so the terrain is very uneven.

Very suitable for special training.

These words left everyone silent.

Yes, the journey was so smooth that they almost forgot the danger of this mission.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Yang Xiaole clapped his hands and said, "Alright, a mission is a mission. Since I brought you out, I will bring you back safe and sound."

He looked around and said, "This will be our camp. When we are not on a mission, we will train here. There won't be too much physical training, just keep your physical fitness up. Mainly shooting, especially shooting at moving targets."

Zhao Gang frowned when he heard this: "But... we don't have too much ammunition!"

At that time, that truckload of ammunition seemed to be quite a lot, but it really could not withstand high-intensity training.

It is also used when performing tasks.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked into the distance and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the bullets. You will have enough. If you don't have enough, just go and rob them. There are so many weapons here, and they are all illegal. There will be no shortage of ammunition."

This made everyone look at each other.

Although the general is not subject to the orders of the army abroad.

But there are still rules. Yang Xiaole looked at the expressions of the crowd and said with a smile: "It's okay. The bullets we have now are enough for us to use for ten days or half a month. Besides, the local armed forces here are illegal. As long as we don't attack the official armed forces here, we won't break any rules."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Besides, just don't let anyone know! Well, you don't have to worry about this, just practice peacefully. Practice until you vomit."

Hearing his words, everyone grinned.

I used to be reluctant to practice, how could I possibly practice to the point of vomiting?

Yang Xiaole looked at everyone's expressions, smiled and said nothing.

Watching everyone repairing the wooden house there.

He went to the nearby river.

This is a flowing river and the water looks quite clean. After boiling it and adding alum for disinfection, there shouldn't be any major problems.

What was important was the well water he brought with him.

After making sure that there was no one nearby, he quietly entered the space.

Looking at the big tiger in the distance, he was about to pee and just took a kettle to catch some.

The tiger shuddered when he saw the kettle suddenly appear below.

But it has become accustomed to this kind of thing.

It's that guy again.

Yang Xiaole took some tiger urine and thought about it. This guy has been trapped here for a long time.

It's time to go out and see the sun.

And disappeared into the distance with it.

Then the space was thrown away.

"Just stroll around the area, don't run around!"

He patted the tiger's head, not caring whether it understood or not.

Seeing this, the tiger looked around the unfamiliar surroundings and walked around him to make sure that Yang Xiaole would not stop him.

He ran into the forest.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this and didn't care. If he really couldn't find it, then forget it.

Then he disappeared back to the vicinity of the camp.

I brought some food.

We had a simple lunch in the camp at noon, and started training in the afternoon.

Yang Xiaole gathered everyone together.

Looking at everyone standing, he spoke: "Although it is training, there are also punishments. You will be given these two days to adapt. In the future, it will be unacceptable. Ten bullets form a group for the moving target. If you miss, you will be assigned a group for physical training. If you miss one bullet, you will be assigned another group."

Hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows.

This is brutal enough!
There are not many reps in a set of physical training, each one is thirty reps, but it’s too much!
Yang Xiaole looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile, "Okay, let's get started! We have everything ready for you."

After saying that, he walked to a position fifty meters ahead and hung the wooden stick tied with a rope there.

Take a thin stick and raise it to the highest position.

After letting go, the stick fell down and swung there.

Then he walked back and said, "That's it. I'll give you fifteen seconds. Finish after you fire ten bullets. Send someone over to take turns to get the stick. The rest of you, if you have time, go practice driving."

Seeing this, Zhao Gang agreed and began to make arrangements.

Yang Xiaole was just sitting there with nothing to do, watching everyone train.

No one really has any objection to him not training.

"Pa bang bang~~"

Starting in the afternoon, everyone began training.

At the same time, the sound of cars rumbling in the camp was also heard.

At the beginning, everyone was not used to it.

After all, wooden sticks are very difficult to hit. You have to know that the wooden boards used in competitions are as big as human heads.

There are plenty of guns, so there is no need to worry about not having a replacement if one breaks down.

At night, someone will naturally take turns to work the night shift.

It was okay in the first two days because no one punished us, but starting from the third day, everyone started wailing.

Basically, after a day, I don't have the energy to do anything.

In the meantime, Lao He also came over a few times and told them about the situation in the city, but there were no tasks for them for the time being.

As for the task of intelligence gathering, there are special people to do it.

Every two days, Yang Xiaole would send a car to drive around the city to familiarize the city’s terrain, and the group would take turns going there.

He has always believed that no matter how talented a sharpshooter is, he needs intensive target practice training.

Two weeks passed.

The bullet disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With such high-intensity training, everyone's improvement is quite obvious, although they are not as good as those real sharpshooters.

But he believed that when they returned in November, these people would definitely not be the same as before.

The reason why he guessed that he would go back in November was naturally because the meeting was announced at the end of October.

Their mission would then be accomplished.

There are still six or seven months left.

He still has a lot of ideas, but he has no way to test them one by one, so he needs to train slowly in the future.

Just when he was about to stop training tomorrow and leave some bullets for the mission.

Lao He drove back here.

Also accompanying them was Xu Jinbu, who was on a reconnaissance mission.

"Stop first!"

Seeing people coming, Yang Xiaole asked everyone to stop what they were doing.

Lao He got out of the car.

Yang Xiaole thought that Lao He was still the same as before and just came to take a look.

But as soon as Lao He got off the car, he said seriously: "There is a mission!"

"What mission!"

Yang Xiaole put away his playful expression and asked in the same serious tone.

Lao He looked at everyone and said, "Tonight there is a comrade who needs you to escort him to Matadi to take a boat. After leaving Kinshasa, there may be armed forces. Of course, if everything goes well, there may be no fighting on the way.

But we also have to be ready to fight.”

As the other party spoke, he took out a map.

Pointing to the location on the map: "This is the city we are in. Follow the Congo River to the estuary. When we reach Matadi, someone will pick us up."

Yang Xiaole took a look and compared the proportions.

It’s probably less than three hundred kilometers away.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "How many people are in the mission target? Who will go for us? How many people are needed?"

Hearing this, Lao He said, "This time, our target is two people. I will go with you. It's best to bring everyone with you. There may be battles along the way."

Yang Xiaole hummed and looked at Zhao Gang: "Gangzi, I'll give you three minutes. Take your things and leave. Don't worry about this place. If it doesn't work, let's go to another place."

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Zhao Gang took people to clean up.

Yang Xiaole also returned to the wooden house and packed his things.

Everything is prepared in advance, so you don’t have to worry too much.

After picking up their belongings and weapons, everyone squeezed into the car.

After half a month, everyone finally got out of the rainforest and headed towards the wooden house.

The mission doesn't start until the evening, so there's no rush.

After coming back, I simply had a haircut, shaved, and took a shower.

A group of homeless people regained their glory.
