Part five: a buddy in a need

It turns out there is one more enemy in the bushes to defeat. I do just that, make sure with a couple bursts that there surely is noone left anymore and go loot the bodies of ammunition. Then I continue towards the special forces' landing site.

I come across a cabin I figure would be a good place to rest. I have to clear the surrounding of a few hostiles first but manage to secure the cabin in the end. I resupply and start headin back to the main road. On my way there some crazy gunman strats shooting at me with a shotgun. I don't see them but instead run for cover in opposite direction. I circle around a bit behind the trees, but the shotgun man does manage to find me still. I'm able to nail him, though, but while I'm looting his body I discover he has a buddy. After exchanging some shots and me being a bit too much on the receiving end of bullets I finally manage to finish this buddy. I collect his ammunition carefully, not knowing how many others there are out there.

On my way to my vehicle I can hear the sound of a car driving around, but I never see anything. Tey probably didn't even notice me and drove away, so I hop on my ride and drive away. Before I even know it I get to a suspicious crossroad and hop off again. I get hiding behind a rock just in time to avoid being seen by a patrol driving by. Then I get stupid.

They probably wouldn't even notice me, but I, being the idiot I am, open fire at them thinking I can take them on. You know, only two of them , me having the element of surprise and all that. Well yeah. I do manage to nail them both. But then the next patrol comes along. I figure it is better to let them just drive by if possible, but I'm not that lucky. They spot something is going on and get on foot. At first I think I might be able to deal with them, but they manage to get to a surprising angle and then I notice I don't have enough bullets left to finish them. That's my last thought before they pour me full of bullets and I lose my consciousness.

I seem to be lucky today, however. My buddy Marty gets to me and fedns off the hostiles while providing me just enough aid that I can fix myself to fighting condition again. Whew. That was a close call. I hunch behind cover looking for enemies while Alencar runs around finishing off the ones remaining. What a hotshot. It does seem he managed to defeat every single one of them. Well, less bullets wasted for me.

I start continuing my journey when I discover a radio tower of some sort. Hmmm. I examine it for a bit but don't really figure out anything to do with it. So I keep going, on foot, when I come across a guard post. I close down on it carefully, but don't see anyone. I get suspicious and shoot a couple warning shots to make the hostiles come out of their holes, but noone seems to be around. Weird. What happened to the guards?
