Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 719: Didn’t we agree to just inquire for information?
The group took a good bath and ate the meal prepared by Lao He.

In the afternoon, after everyone had packed up their equipment, they went to rest.

In the evening, led by Lao He, a group of people drove towards the port.

It’s just that the weapons and equipment were all wrapped up.

Soon, everyone came to a small ferry on the riverside, where there were many boats coming and going.

I have to say that the Congo River has great advantages.

Most of the transportation in the entire Congo is through the Congo River. After all, the rainforest occupies a large part of this area, and transportation is not very convenient.

The car stopped outside the pier.

Old He would go over to look for people, and only after he was sure that the people had arrived would he bring them over.

A group of people waited quietly in the car.

Yang Xiaole looked at Xie Lei. This guy had not been used all the way. It would be great if there was a helicopter for everyone to practice.

Unfortunately, this possibility is not very high.

There is basically no such opportunity.

As we waited, the sky gradually darkened.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Lao He coming over.

"Okay, you can go now. Please be careful on the road ahead."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole shook hands with the other party.

"You too, please be safe."

Old He nodded and rushed to the dock with a few people.

At the riverside, Yang Xiaole saw Jiang Fei again. At this time, Jiang Fei really looked like a boatman.

The outfit is also simple with a large hat.

Large-sized pants and a vest on top.

There wasn't much communication once we got to the dock.

Jiang Fei naturally knew these people. After meeting them, they nodded to each other and invited Yang Xiaole and his group to get on board.

There were also quite a few black people traveling with them.

Jiang Fei was there collecting money.

Quite a lot of people came up, and it was packed with people in no time.

When it was almost time, Jiang Fei started to let out the rope and rowed the boat towards the other side of the river.

Yang Xiaole stood there, watching Lao He waving on the shore, and he also waved in return.

Only after they left did Lao He quietly leave.

"You are not allowed to make any noise for a while. When you get to the destination, get off the boat quickly."

Jiang Fei was communicating there in simple French.

Obviously, these people were smuggling across the river.

However, people have turned a blind eye to this situation, after all, the riverside is too long.

There are more than 500 kilometers in total.

There are not many regular troops in Congo-Brazzaville, so this kind of situation rarely happens.

Of course, there are people patrolling there, so if you get discovered, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

When the boat reached the middle position, all the lights were turned off.

In the darkness, the big ship slowly approached the opposite side.

It was more than a kilometer of road, and we arrived at a location downstream after more than 20 minutes.

Jiang Fei led his men to a very small pier with ease. The pier had only a row of extended wooden planks.

After the ship docked, there was a faint fire here.

Everyone quietly got off the boat and headed towards the woods. It seemed that these people were regular customers and were very familiar with the terrain here.

However, Yang Xiaole and his group did not leave.

After a long while, Jiang Fei made sure that there were no people around, and then he said to Yang Xiaole: "Let's go, be careful! Don't make any noise, this is the border, there are patrols."

Yang Xiaole agreed.

He took the people off the boat.

Jiang Fei tied the boat here and walked into the forest with his men on foot.

Jiang Fei had a flashlight in his hand, which he turned on and off from time to time, and he also paid attention to the time. It was obvious that he was familiar with the situation here.

Of course, it may only be this area, and I may not be familiar with other places.

It took us nearly an hour to walk around the village and arrive near a hill.

They stopped only after entering a yard.

"Okay, we're here! There's water here, you guys can wash up first and eat something later, we'll set off when the car arrives."

Jiang Fei lit the kerosene lamp and said to Yang Xiaole with a smile.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded, and arranged for others to stand guard and take a shower.

Then he asked Jiang Fei: "What's the situation now? Do you know the content of the mission?"

Jiang Fei nodded: "I know, the information was conveyed through me. We still need to find out where the people are being held. There are not many of our people over there, but I have paid someone to find out the news. Our official people have already gone there to communicate with the people over there through diplomatic means, and we don't know what the result will be.

I hope we won’t be used.”

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly when he heard this.

Indeed, it would be best if the problem could be resolved through communication.

Then he asked, "When will the car arrive? Is it our own?"

Jiang Fei shook his head: "No, there are too many of you this time, so I found a way to get a minibus. I will go with you this time."

"I see. What's the situation over there now? Are there a lot of armed forces?"

"Not really! There are actually very few armed forces in Gabon, and the situation there is relatively stable."

Yang Xiaole thought about it and said, "According to what you said, our goods and people were detained. Could it be that the officials there were involved?"

Jiang Fei nodded gently: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. If not, the communication this time would not be so difficult. Even if not, the West is involved."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

The two sides have not yet established diplomatic relations, so there are some difficulties in communication.

Didn't ask this question again.

Just talked about the next itinerary.

Several people waited there for two hours before there was some movement outside.

"It's okay! You guys stay here, I'll go out for a while."

Jiang Fei gave some instructions to Yang Xiaole and then went out with a bag.

Then there were noises like quarreling coming from outside.

Yang Xiaole saw Jiang Fei inspecting the car there, bargaining while inspecting.

Finally, when it was almost time, Jiang Fei took out some money from his bag and gave it to the other party.

Big Black took the money and left with a smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Fei drove the car into the yard.

"Okay, the car is here. Everyone, get ready. I'll take you there. The journey won't be short. It will probably take one or two days. Luckily, it's not raining much now. If it had, I don't know when we would have arrived!"

Yang Xiaole knew that this place was only more than 200 kilometers away from Gabon and could be reached in one day, but after entering there, he would still have to go to the beach.

There is still some way to go.

After telling everyone to pack up, they all got into the car.

Yang Xiaole saw Jiang Fei about to get in the driving position, so he said, "We don't know the way, you just lead the way, we all know how to drive, so you don't have to be so tired."

I can't stand driving all the time.

But it would be better if you just stay by my side.

Jiang Fei thought about it and agreed: "Okay, you drive. I'll show you the way. By the way, here's the map."

Get out a map.

Yang Xiaole took the map and looked at it. He had looked at it briefly before.

He put the map in the car, started the car, and drove towards the destination with everyone.

It's not as chaotic here as the Democratic Republic of Congo.

As long as you are not going to a big city, basically no one will block your way.

The car drove all the way from night.

They drove non-stop for a whole day, and Jiang Fei went to the city alone to refuel.

We reached the border the next evening.

Apparently Jiang Fei often traveled between the two places, spent some money, and brought several people to Gabon.

There are about two hundred kilometers to go.

It took nearly another day before the car finally arrived at the coastal area of ​​Gabon.

This is a pier, surrounded by scattered fishermen and ordinary local black people. The car did not enter the pier.

Instead, wait nearby.

"Wait for me here! I'll go get some information. It's been so long, there should be some news."

Jiang Fei said to Yang Xiaole with a tired face.

Yang Xiaole hummed and said, "Okay, then you should be careful. Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need. I know some people here too. We are old friends. You are new faces. If you show up too often, it will be inappropriate and will easily arouse suspicion."

Seeing him say that, Yang Xiaole didn't force it.

I agreed and watched the other party leave.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Jiang Fei quietly returned amid everyone's worry.

"How is it? Is there any accident?"

Seeing him come back, Yang Xiaole asked a question.

Jiang Fei's expression doesn't seem to be very good.

really.

Jiang Fei said, "It's a bit troublesome! There may really be some local official involvement in this."

"what happened?"

"The people are being held hostage in a town, but there is a military camp three kilometers away from the town. If we seize it forcefully, they may provide support soon, and..."

Jiang Fei paused and said, "And it's not certain whether all these people are being held in one place."

This made Yang Xiaole frown.

If the person is in one place, he can just bring him over.

If we are not in the same place, and if we take care of this nest, will people in other places be in danger?

After checking the time, he casually asked, "Where is the town you mentioned?"

Jiang Fei collected his thoughts and said, "It's in a town 20 kilometers away from here. It's also very close to the nearby city, only a few kilometers away."

Yang Xiaole hummed.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "By the way, what's the current situation of the cargo ship?"

"I heard that there is no movement on the cargo ship for the time being, but the ship is occupied and people cannot get on. We don't know what the situation is with the ship, but it is certain that it has not entered the port, but is parked nearby."

After Jiang Fei finished speaking, he pinched his brows and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first! I'll ask around here. Let's settle down tonight."

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly.

He looked around and said, "How about this! You go ask around first. It will be dark soon. My ears are better at night. I'll go to the town you mentioned and see if I can find anything!"

These words made Jiang Fei hesitate for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, let's go to the town first to see what's going on. I'll go and ask around when we get back."

Hearing him say this, Yang Xiaole did not refuse.

Everyone turned the car around and drove to their destination.

When we arrived at the place, the car stopped nearby.

"That's it!"

It was already late in the evening. Jiang Fei pointed at the darkness in the distance and said something to him.

Yang Xiaole took a look and hummed, "Okay, you guys wait here. I'll go scout the terrain before it gets dark so we can act at night."

"Okay, then you should pay attention to safety."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole got out of the car and quickly disappeared into the nearby farmland.

After making sure that no one saw him, he sneaked into the town.

The town wasn't very big.

He soon found his goal.

There were a dozen young men with ragged clothes, haggard faces and chapped lips, and some wounds on their bodies.

12 people.

I am still 13 people short of my goal this time.

Yang Xiaole frowned, but did not rush to rescue people. Instead, he left here and went to a nearby military camp.

No one else was found there.

Then he went to the beach again, and he planned to take a look at the cargo ship.

This time we naturally went to the port of a big city, not the small dock we went to before.

Finally, a cargo ship was found on the seashore.

This is a ship from Hong Kong Island. I recognize it because it contains boxes of weapons.

And 12 Chinese people on board.

There were ten guards on board.

"One person missing?"

Yang Xiaole frowned.

Although there is only one, it is better to have one person less after all.

After thinking for a while, he did not move these people, quietly left the boat and returned to land.

Back to the previous town again.

Just take care of the people guarding here.

The door opens.

A group of people looked at him with narrowed eyes.

But when they saw Yang Xiaole's Chinese face, they were all surprised.

But no one spoke.

There was no movement outside, and now these people appeared here again. They were not sure whether they were their own people.

"Who among you is in charge of the ship? I'm here to rescue people, follow us!"

These words made everyone hesitate for a while.

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Don't you understand Chinese? If someone sees what we're doing here, we'll be in trouble."

These words made everyone excited.

One of them stood up and said, "I am the person in charge here. My captain, Zhou Qi, who are you? How can you prove it?"

Yang Xiaole touched his head.

After all, these people were just delivering goods, and they had no contact person, so naturally there was no secret code.

He looked outside and said, "You 25 people are the target. If you delay any longer, it will be too late. Do you want to leave?"

Zhou Qi heard this and thought about it.

Still nodded and agreed.

It looks like he really came to rescue someone.

"Okay, let's go!"

They plan to wait and see.

However, after coming out and looking at the enemy lying in a pool of blood, Zhou Qi and his group realized that it should be true.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t have died.

Yang Xiaole prepared a bus for these people.

After letting everyone get in the car, he drove straight out of the yard and headed straight outside.

No direct past.

Instead, he took a detour, circled the town, and then headed directly towards Jiang Fei and his group.

His arrival aroused the vigilance of Zhang Xuesong and his group, but when they saw the secret signal from the car lights, they instantly knew that it was one of their own.

The car stopped and Jiang Fei came over carefully.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Yang Xiaole.

"How's that? How did you get a car?"

There are only lights on the front of the car, and you can't see what's going on inside the car.

I thought he came here alone and stole a car.

Only then did Yang Xiaole turn off the lights on the car and said with a smile: "Everyone has been rescued."

Jiang Fei hummed: "Oh, he's rescued! Ah? He's rescued."

He didn't react at first, but soon he reacted, was surprised, and quickly looked towards the car.

There were only a dozen weak-looking Chinese people sitting in the car.

Only then did he realize that he was really rescued.

Didn’t we agree to just get some information?
