Chapter 44

Gao Guang saw the guerrilla camp.

The so-called camp was just a bunch of wooden houses, scattered under big trees. Such a camp could only be found on the ground, and it was impossible to see it from the air because the tree canopy above the camp was too dense.

There was almost no sunlight in the camp, making it very dark. However, there were few plants on the ground that covered it, so the camp could still be seen from afar.

Of course, "afar" was relative. Gao Guang couldn't see the other end of the camp. He could only see rows of wooden houses extending into the distance, and then being covered by the forest in the distance.

The wooden houses in the camp varied in size, but it was relatively easy to distinguish which ones were command centers or similar places because those wooden houses were not only larger, but also had more people coming in and out, and more people guarding nearby.

There were about a dozen armed guards near a wooden house that covered an area of about 100 square meters. People came in and out of the wooden house from time to time, and there were occasional people coming in and out of other wooden houses, but everyone looked very busy.

"Twelve armed guards, there must be someone hiding in the wooden house. The total number of people in the camp is no less than 500. This is the headquarters of the third branch of the Ge Wu organization. No wonder the third branch is the most mysterious. They actually hide here."

George spoke very quietly, and you couldn't hear what he said if you didn't pay attention.

Frank was now much calmer. After discovering that this was really a large camp that had obviously existed for a long time, he seemed to have completely lost hope, but after completely losing hope, he also became calm.

"I don't know if Caps is dead, and I don't know what Caps said."

After saying this lightly, Frank looked at the camp and said, "But since this is a permanent camp, the guerrillas are unwilling to abandon it and unwilling to move because of us, so there is a basis for negotiation."

George didn't say anything. He just looked at Frank, and Frank said calmly, "Forcibly rescuing Caps is impossible. They have prepared for battle. I will negotiate with the guerrillas and let them release Caps. If they refuse, then you will evacuate on your own."

After speaking, Frank said indifferently, "I caused trouble for you. Now I will make up for it."

Rubber angrily said, "Shut up. I'm not trying to comfort you, but does it make sense for you to say that?"George whispered, "Captain, you should know the style of the third division of the Guerrillas. They will never compromise. If you go to negotiate, you can only bring the Kung Fu kid. This will only add two hostages to the enemy, and it's meaningless."

"Don't send the Kung Fu kid. I'll go myself. Maybe they have someone who can speak English."

The captain had already made up his mind. He waved his hand and whispered, "It's been almost four hours. They're going to execute Caps. We can't wait any longer. I have to go."

Rubber grabbed Frank's collar again and whispered, "Are you crazy? We can't save Caps. If you go to negotiate, you'll only put yourself in danger, Captain! We know what to do in this situation!"

Frank whispered, "Yes, we should retreat and leave quietly, as if we were never here."

Retreat? Leave quietly?

What about John?

Gao Guang was extremely surprised by what he heard, but he didn't express his opinion because it seemed like Frank didn't want to do it that way. He just watched coldly.

"But John and I are comrades-in-arms for many years. I...I can't just leave like this."

After Frank finished speaking, he no longer felt lost and only had determination left.

"Guys, I'm sorry to have put you in this situation. Actually, I came here before to check the terrain and environment, not to find that money. But I really didn't expect there to be a guerrilla camp here."

After saying this calmly, Frank spread his hands and said, "I know that negotiation is meaningless. I really know what the consequences of negotiation will be."

Gao Guang couldn't help but say, "What consequences? I talked to them on the walkie-talkie, and they don't seem to reject negotiation."

Frank smiled, but Rubber was angry and said, "Idiot, use your brain. If you were the commander of the other side, would you negotiate with someone?"

George also said helplessly, "You don't understand the style of the Colombian Guerrillas. They don't refuse to negotiate, but we don't have the qualifications to negotiate with them. As I said, the third division of the Gowa organization is known for its cruelty and toughness. Think about it carefully, did the other side really agree to negotiate?"

Gao Guang thought about it and realized that the person he talked to on the walkie-talkie never agreed to negotiate. He only said to bring the people and gave them four hours. Frank also said that they might be able to negotiate, but he only said "might" and not that it was certain.Gao Guang looked at Frank, but Frank shook his head helplessly and whispered, "Joey is right. These people have no concept of negotiation. All they want to do is kill as many as they can. As for exposing our location, it doesn't matter. They just need to move to a different place."

"But isn't it troublesome to relocate?"

"You're such a newbie. Yes, it's troublesome, but this is a rainforest. The enemy commander doesn't have to worry about being surrounded. He can stay in this camp and wait for the government army to attack before relocating. The most important thing is..." Rubber grabbed Gao Guang's clothes and asked curiously, "Why do you think this is the only camp for the guerrillas?"

Gao Guang was speechless. Rubber let go of his clothes and whispered, "Exposure is not important to the guerrillas. I know what you're thinking. You want to threaten them by revealing their location, but it's meaningless."

"So there's no possibility of negotiation?" Gao Guang felt hopeless now. He looked at the heavily guarded wooden houses in the camp and said in despair, "What about Caps? Do we have to forcibly rescue him?"

George remained silent, while Rubber looked helpless and whispered, "Kid, I've known Caps for many years. I care about him more than you do. That's why we came here to observe and try to rescue him. But as you can see, this is a camp with too many people. We have no way of rescuing him."

Frank patted Gao Guang's shoulder lightly and whispered, "I'm willing to do anything to make up for my mistake. But now we can't even confirm if Caps is still alive. So don't do anything foolish. I'll go negotiate with the guerrillas and hope they spare Caps."

Rubber was angry and said, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? You don't even speak Spanish. What negotiation can you do?"

Rubber couldn't speak loudly, but his volume still increased uncontrollably until George poked him lightly. Rubber lowered his voice and said to Frank, "Captain! We can't give up on Caps, that's why we're here. But we can't bury him either. It's meaningless. There are only four of us here. What we should do now is quietly evacuate. I'll take responsibility and give the order. Listen to me, we start evacuating..."

Rubber suddenly froze and looked at Gao Guang in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

Gao Guang was right beside them, but he was holding a gun now, with his finger on the trigger."I know there are many enemies, I know there is no way to rescue Caps, I know I shouldn't bury myself with Caps...but..."

Gao Guang paused, then said helplessly, "But I can't do it. I can't leave like this."

Rubber's face sank, and he asked seriously, "What do you want to do?"

"I know you're all right, I know you didn't abandon Caps, that's why you risked coming here. I also know I shouldn't do something hopeless, let alone bury myself with a dead comrade, because it's meaningless."

After finishing his words, Gao Guang said firmly, "But I still want to save Caps. I want to at least find out if he's alive or dead before leaving."

Rubber's face darkened, and he whispered, "I admire your attitude towards your comrades, you're the best brother in the army. But please understand the situation. There are only four of us, and there are at least hundreds of people waiting for us in the enemy camp!"

Gao Guang pointed to the camp and said, "They are sending people to search for our tracks, so the camp is actually empty. We are few in number, and I think the guerrillas should be able to recognize this from our footprints. So they will relax their guard, because they can't imagine that only a few of us dare to come back here."

George exclaimed in surprise, "You actually want to rush in and rescue Caps by force?"

"Yes!"

Rubber shook his head and said solemnly, "You're crazy, rookie!"

At this moment, someone Gao Guang had been watching in the big wooden house came out, pushing two people and walked outside.

The person was John, who was injured and walking slowly, but he could still walk on his own. However, he was soon pushed to the ground.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from their earphones.

"It's been four hours in three minutes, it seems you haven't come."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

The person who spoke to Gao Guang earlier spoke again after four hours. He didn't have any special tone, just said coldly, "In three minutes, I will execute your comrade. That's it."

Everyone heard it, but the four of them reacted differently.

Frank whispered, "What did he say?"

Gao Guang sighed and whispered, "Caps is not dead. He will be executed in three minutes."

John didn't make any sound, he just turned over with difficulty from a prone position and lay on the ground.Watching John waiting for death, Gao Guang bit his lip and said, "The enemy never expected us to come. I think we can catch them off guard and save Caps."

Rubber coldly said, "Put down your gun."

Gao Guang shook his head and whispered, "I'll go alone. You can help me or not, but don't stop me. If you stop me, I'll shoot. I won't shoot at you, but the enemy will hear the gunshot."

Rubber approached, trying to grab Gao Guang, but Gao Guang raised his handgun and aimed it in the direction of the camp.

"If you come closer, I'll shoot!"

Rubber stopped, extremely angry, and said, "You're crazy! The enemy is very alert. Even if there are few people in the camp, it's not something we can handle. This is not a silent infiltration, it's a forced attack!"

"You can retreat now if you want. No one can find you in the rainforest, and they can't catch up with you. You can leave safely, so I'm not dragging you down. Now... there's no time to waste."

Gao Guang's voice trembled with nervousness. He whispered, "I'm going!"

After speaking, he turned and ran. Gao Guang bent over and tried not to make a sound as he left the hiding bushes, and then ran towards the enemy's camp.

Rubber was stunned, and he was furious, but he still raised his rifle.

George also raised his rifle. He first aimed at Gao Guang's back, but immediately aimed at the sentry in the camp. Then, he said helplessly, "This guy is crazy!"

Rubber gritted his teeth and said, "Damn rookie, he's a mad dog. He's just a mad dog!"

George said helplessly, "What should we do?"

Rubber aimed his gun at the enemy with a gun next to John and said angrily, "What else can we do? Cover him! After he and Caps die, we'll retreat!"

Frank raised his handgun and looked at Gao Guang's rapidly running figure, muttering, "The way he runs really looks like a dog..."
