    "How bad is it?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "There is a war zone between two large local tribes. The fighting has been fierce recently, and both sides have even used rocket launchers. Except for a small number of oil well workers, everyone else in that place has fled. And both sides are fighting for that road.  Roads leading to oil wells and refineries. There are checkpoints everywhere on the road, and you foreigners will not be allowed to pass." Cardin shook his head.

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t the local government care about this level of conflict?¡± Lin Rui asked.

    "The government is also run by people, but people are also members of tribes." Shogan shook his head and said, "They are not qualified to interfere in the affairs of foreigners. If they intervene forcibly, things will get worse and the war will expand. Big countries such as Britain and the United States  The coalition forces can launch aggressive wars to seize strategic locations or energy sources, while primitive African tribes can also engage in primitive conflicts to compete for territory or food.

    Although the styles of war and tactics are very different, they cannot escape the drive of interests and are essentially the same.  Tribal conflicts have never ceased in Africa for hundreds of years, and when the weapons used by both sides changed from swords and spears to submachine gun grenades, the consequences became more serious.  This is Africa. Everyone knows the cause of the problem, but they cannot completely solve it.  "

    Lin Rui nodded, "Get ready, we'll leave in ten minutes."

    "If you want to go there, don't pass from the front. It would be better to go around the other side of the road. They usually don't shell there." Cardin said to Lin Rui.

    "Thank you." Lin Rui nodded, turned around again and asked the brothers to get in the car and rush to their destination.

    This time they were pretty lucky. Although they encountered several waves of armed men along the way, they were all armed with live ammunition and the armed men did not stop them.  Here, even tribal militants do not want to easily provoke mercenaries.  At four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at their mission destination.  This is the main oil well of a large oil field and an attached petroleum refinery.

    Because of the war, people there have long built tall walls and piled barricades at the main entrance.  When Lin Rui and others approached, someone fired a warning shot.

    "Damn it, go back and tell Ahu that O2 is here." Sergey stuck his head out and yelled.

    "That's the local black militia. Even if you call him, he won't understand. Stay in the car and don't move. Be careful of this stupid militia trying to get you. I've contacted Ahu and he will bring people out right away."  Lin Rui pulled Sergey back.

    Sergey was still a little angry, "Damn it, no one dares to shoot me now."

    "Stop firing, look at that guy's nervousness. If you get any closer, he really dares to shoot you. Seriously, if your uncle Sergei is shot down by a militiaman, I will  I will definitely film this exciting scene and let Cobain send it to his social network." Crazy Horse added jealousy next to him.

    "Get out of here. I'm warning you not to mess with me." Sergey said angrily.  He was still annoyed when he was pointed at gunpoint by a group of local armed forces in the town at noon.

    A few minutes later, Ahu came out with someone.  He asked the militiamen at the gate to put down their guns and opened the barricade to let Lin Rui and others in.

    After Lin Rui and others walked in, Ahu excitedly rushed over and high-fived Lin Rui, "Ha, boss, we are together again."

    Lin Rui nodded and looked around, "How is the situation here?"

    Ah Hu sighed and said, "See for yourself." He led Lin Rui inside.  The oil well is surrounded by high walls and some ancillary buildings.  There are many people inside, including men, women and children. They should all be staff here and their families.  Seeing someone coming in from outside, these people all looked alert and frightened.

    "There are still women and children here?" Lin Rui frowned, "This was not mentioned in the previous mission report."

    Ahu nodded, "There are hundreds of employees here, including geophysical workers, drillers, drillers, geologists and surveyors, and their families. Some of them are foreigners who did not have time to evacuate, and some are locals. Then  Several are Indians, and there are also a few Chinese among them. Including their family members, there are nearly three hundred people in total. They are all trapped here by this sudden ethnic conflict."

    "This is a war zone, can't we relocate them somewhere else?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "No." A man in a suit and a helmet came over.  This was a middle-aged man. He looked at Lin Rui and said, "Because we can't shut down the oil well now and have to continue working."

    "Who are you?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked.

    "I am thisThe person in charge here, my name is Jonathan.  "The middle-aged man replied, "The current situation is complicated. On the 15th, militants raided the company's oil well located 20 kilometers away, set fire to two employee dormitories, and destroyed some equipment of the oil well.  During this time, there was an exchange of gunfire between armed personnel and employees of our protective facilities.  About fifteen people were killed, one of our chefs was killed in the attack and more than 10 employees were injured.  Our company has currently shut down Sakol and three nearby oil wells, and evacuated hundreds of employees.  But as a major oil well, it cannot be shut down yet.  "

    "Why?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "Closing an oil well does not mean turning on the faucet and the water stops. It is a highly professional system operation, which takes at least one week to ten days under normal conditions. Otherwise, it will cause all the main oil pipelines and internal pipelines in the oil field to condense.  This will lead to the scrapping of large oil fields with a capacity of 10 million tons. And once production is stopped, it will be very difficult to resume production. If all personnel are withdrawn, it will mean that the oil field will be paralyzed, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Jonathan said helplessly.

    Lin Rui shrugged, "I understand that for you large international companies, in the final analysis, oil is more valuable than these people's lives."

    Jonathan looked at Lin Rui and said, "Since you are professional guards hired by our company, you have the responsibility to protect us and the equipment."

    "Of course, this is work." Lin Rui shrugged.  "So I first have to understand, how many people are here and what are their current living conditions? What is the situation of the facilities, and those facilities are located in high-risk areas? If you don't tell me these things, it will be difficult for me to ensure that we complete our work."

    "Very good, I have a full list of personnel here." Jonathan nodded. "During the previous crossfires of ethnic conflicts, some of us were accidentally injured. I also have records here. Regarding the equipment and facilities, I will bring them later.  Go and see. The main thing you need to do now is to protect the safety here."
