Chapter 330 Young Old Bird
The MiG-24 attack helicopter originally had a dual cockpit, with a gunner in the front cockpit and a pilot in the rear cockpit, but this MiG-24 was modified.
The front cabin is eliminated, the fire control is connected to the cockpit, and the cabin is opened up at the same time. Airborne heavy machine guns and airborne cannons are installed on the left and right sides, which maximizes the firepower and facilitates communication between the front and rear.
However, today's mission is a transport mission, so the aircraft is not equipped with the right-side aircraft cannon, but it is fully loaded with rockets, air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles.
Helicopters enter Sudan.
This is a land full of blood and tears. The civil war lasted for more than 40 years, starting from the founding of the country, and eventually split into Sudan and South Sudan.
But both countries are still mired in crises and civil wars, with almost no peace.
Sitting in the helicopter, Lei Zhen chewed gum and looked at the endless barren land and the scarred town below.
To be more precise, it is a ruined town, filled with the devastation of the war, with almost no modern buildings and facilities.
On the bumpy road, the refugees struggled to walk in the scorching heat, looking like a group of zombies.
When the armed helicopter flew over, the people below were terrified and fled to both sides, which added a little vitality to their lives.
"Hahaha, these poor guys!"
Hanks, the mercenary who was escorting them, laughed loudly, his grinning mouth looking like a bloody hole, full of vulgarity.
Yes, it's vulgar.
Hanks is over 1.9 meters tall and extremely strong. He once served in the African South Army Special Forces. When the unit was finally disbanded, he followed his boss into EO and became one of the most core members.
“Here comes God!”
Hanks picked up the bread and chocolate and threw it down, watching the refugees rushing up like ants to grab it, and he laughed happily.
Especially when seeing a fight, I was extremely happy.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
All the muscles in my body were trembling, as if this was the happiest thing.
"Do you know why I didn't throw away the mineral water?" Hanks looked at Lei Zhen and said, "Because it could cost lives. Water is more important than food here."
This was just a hasty remark, because after Lei Zhen got on the helicopter, he had been studying the topographic maps and architectural drawings of Nia City.
He had to memorize every street and every available shelter, including the location of sewers and building areas with basements.
"Man, don't you think this is funny?" Hanks continued, "People always find it most enjoyable to trample on other people's dignity, and they enjoy it endlessly, haha."
"Hey, there's no point in researching this. Almost all the buildings in Nia City have been destroyed. It's hell!"
"You're about to enter the battlefield of hell, why not have some fun? Come on, man, it's fun! You can imagine yourself as God, it's really fun!"
He took out a bag of bread and handed it to Lei Zhen, motioning him to throw it down to find happiness.
No one can feel at ease facing such a talkative guy.
“Snap!”
Lei Zhen lit a cigarette, stuffed the map into his tactical vest, and finally turned to look at Hanks.
"Respecting life is not shameful and there is no need to hide it. On the contrary, you should be proud of it and tell others about it."
"This isn't a sign of weakness; on the contrary, it represents your true maturity. If you've never killed anyone, you'll always feel that life is insignificant. Once you've killed someone, you'll think that life is just that. When you first start killing, you'll feel that life is very fragile—"
Lei Zhen took a puff of his cigarette, looked down, stuffed the bread into his tactical vest, and refused to throw it down.
Because this thing is very precious, after entering the city of Nia, it will be more precious than gold.
"Wow, are you preaching to me?" Hanks stared at Lei Zhen.
"It's just pointing out your inner thoughts." Lei Zhen exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "When killing people until you have constant nightmares, become numb, and become an emotionless war machine, then you learn to respect life."
Hanks' eyes widened. He found that the guy in front of him was very young, but his eyes gave people the feeling that he was accustomed to all kinds of slaughter.
"You're teasing them, but you're also showing respect for life. Ants wouldn't make you so happy, bedbugs aren't worthy of your doing this, only humans are."
“Since only humans are worthy of this, then playing with them is also a form of reverence, because they are still human beings in your heart.”
This principle is a bit profound, but Hanks's face is solemn.
He had never treated people as human beings before, but after experiencing various changes in his attitude towards people, he really treated refugees as human beings.
"You talk a lot like my captain." Hanks rubbed his temples and said, "It's all nonsense. It seems like nonsense, but there seems to be some truth to it."
"Haha, respect the rationality of the emergence of life, respect the rationality of the disappearance of life, take their emergence and disappearance seriously, this is respecting life."
Lei Zhen smiled and shook his head. This was the truth he had summed up after many years - life and death are in my hands, which means respect.
"Leon, you must be a mercenary leader, right?" Hanks asked.
"What? You want to change jobs?" Lei Zhen looked at him with a smile.
"You want to poach me?" Hanks grinned. "Just kidding. Anyway, I think you're pretty special."
It's intuition.
Hanks is a high-level international mercenary who receives daily wages when performing missions, which is completely different from cannon fodder-level mercenaries.
This kind of person is a beast that is most sensitive to strength and danger and can clearly smell the scent of the other person.
To Hanks, the bloody smell on Leon in front of him was not strong, but from his temperament and words, he could tell that he was definitely an old hand who had experienced everything.
That’s right, a young old bird who has experienced it all!
Old birds are scary, and young old birds are even more terrifying.
"Guys, we're almost at Nia City," the pilot said. "Our journey is almost over. Please, dear passengers, prepare to land."
In front of us is the city of Niah. From a distance, the whole city is shrouded in the smoke of war. If it weren't for the loud noise in the helicopter, we would be able to hear the gunshots one after another.
"Change the channel."
The pilot switched radio channels, and Hanks stood up and took the receiver.
"D29 will arrive in ten minutes, requesting a 20-minute ceasefire."
"C09 received, ceasefire for 20 minutes, cargo landing permitted."
“…”
This is what makes EO so awesome. If they want to airdrop Lei Zhen in, the people below will have to cease fire for 20 minutes and cooperate to complete the transaction.
"We'll reach the right altitude soon, and then we can parachute." "Master your landing spot. It's best not to fall into the alley, otherwise you'll be killed by the government forces, and then we'll have nothing to do with you—"
Hanks kept his mouth shut as Lei Zhen's pistol was pointed at his head.
"Mr. Leon, calm down."
"I'm calm. I have to ensure a safe landing." Lei Zhen smiled harmlessly. "Put on your parachute and jump. I'll only give you ten seconds—ten, nine, eight..."
"Are you robbing?" Hanks' face was full of bloodthirsty cruelty.
"Seven, six, five, four..."
Lei Zhen remained expressionless and continued the countdown.
"Countdown robbery is just hooliganism. I give you the plane, but it's not mine anyway!"
Hanks gritted his teeth, put on his parachute and jumped down.
The pilot in front turned his head, looked at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, and tried to smile.
"Dear passenger, can you fly a helicopter?"
"No need to answer. I was relieved when I saw the muzzle of your gun. Believe me, you are the most polite robber and the most arrogant scoundrel."
The pilot got to the back and jumped out with a parachute on his back.
"certainly."
Lei Zhen sat in the driver's seat, skillfully controlling the MiG-24 and flying towards Nia City.
To be honest, he quite likes Western humor, and he likes to offend any powerful mercenary organization even more!
