"Kid?!" Younis looked surprised and said, "Are you sure you're not whimsical here,?" ”

"Nope! We're pretty sure. In fact, before we got the information about Sequoia, we knew that there were people who had been passing information back and forth between Russia and Belarus for a long time. And there is already an approximate goal. Among them was this Baldachev. But at that time he did not use this name, but Pavlov. This guy has been in Belarus for more than a decade and should have been active at the time of the collapse of the USSR. After getting information from Sequoia, we determined the trace of this guy, which was the result of our secret investigation of Slonim, and it turned out that this guy had become a Belarusian, using the name Bordachev, Mlvitsa Bordachev. ”

"Really Belarusians? Have you checked this identity? Younis continued.

"I checked it, but after the split, it was a confused account, this person is now in Russia with complete documents and rich social connections, and he now works in Minsk, the Ministry of Communications Industry." The fat man said.

"And why is his woman in Slonim?" Younis asked, puzzled.

"I don't know." The fat man continued: "Originally, we were not sure that there was something wrong with this Bordachev, until the redwoods sent information about Slonim, and here Bordashev had been to their stronghold. ”

"It seems to have been hidden for a long time... Younis sneered, and then found the information about this Baldachev from the information in front of him, and read it all over again. "Why didn't he leave immediately?" Younis asked.

"I guess his woman is sick. Now the situation is not good. He was slow to react, and his child had been transferred. He was a step late. It should still be in Slonium at the moment, and I can't leave. The fat man said immediately.

"Hmph." Younis snorted coldly and said, "You must catch him for me." And his children, if you can, find them for me. Don't mess it up again this time. ”

At 3:50 p.m. in Belarus, John and Pete led the men to a small town more than ten kilometers away from Slonim.

This small town is located on the northeastern side of Slonim and is called Birch. Here they were waiting for them, and they were taken into a large barn as soon as they arrived.

Curtman knew the person who was here to pick them up, and after John and Pete got out of the car, he didn't give any introduction, and just said, "Here we make the final preparations." I've arranged for someone to inform the people in Slonim, but I haven't heard from it yet. ”

"What about the city? How's their doing? John asked.

"It's a hassle to get in and out of town." The man who answered them said directly, judging by his accent, this person was not an American, but a local. "If you drive, you're asked to stop for a check, you have to check your identity, and then you have to check your car. Both inside and out are asked to look. ”

"Can you take my people in?" John asked.

"You can't drive." The man immediately said, "If you don't drive, there's no problem walking." I can take you into Slonium. The man said with confidence.

John thought for a moment and said, "Is the city strictly controlled?" Will I be constantly questioned for driving in the city? ”

"There will be checks on important roads." The man continued, "The normal way is not. Everything is normal in the city now, and there is no special feeling of tension. They do not interfere with the normal life of the people here. Fly out of poor communication. ”

John nodded and looked at Pete and said, "What do you think?" ”

Pete glanced at the man, "I want to know the situation of the people we are trying to save right now." How are they now, and how do we get in touch with them? ”

"There should be news of this soon." "When you enter this city," said Kirtman, "you'll be in this place," he said, gesturing to a place north of Slonim Land, "and it's a little park, and you're here to stay." After confirming the situation, the person in charge of liaison will come here to find you, and then take you to the people you need to rescue, and then take them away. ”

Pete looked at John, only to see John nod and say, "If everything goes well, can you leave the city on foot?" ”

Curtman looked at the man who was there to pick them up, and saw the man say, "If you're lucky, it's fine." There are small roads into the city, and those who come are not locals, and they don't need to use them at all, as if they are controlled, and they can't see local security officers on the road at all. ”

Hearing this, John seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, for them, it was best not to fight, and it was better to complete the task and leave here as soon as possible than anything else.

"Where is this path?" John asked.

The man who answered them immediately pointed to one on the map: "To the east of Slonium, not far from us, not far from the road into the city, there is a wooded here, and in this wooded area near the edge of the city there is a tunnel, which leads directly to the sewers of the city, and from the sewers you can enter a shopping mall in the east of Slonium. ”

"What's going on with this tunnel?" Pete asked.

"Left over from the Second World War. I don't know what it was used for at the time. But to this day, not many people know about it, and very few people have gone to that place, and I only went there when I was a child, and I knew that there was such a tunnel, and before you came, I went and walked again, and I could get through. The place to reach is underneath the mall, and the exit is in a manhole in the alley behind the mall. The man replied.

"Looks like we won't have trouble getting in." Pete looked at John and said.

John chuckled and said, "It's easy to enter, but I'm afraid that there will be problems when I pull it out." If you follow this route to evacuate. I'll bring people closer to this place when the time comes. Where can we go in the near future? ”

"There is a petrol station three kilometres into town. If you drive a car, you will get there at most, and then you will be interrogated. The man replied.

"Okay." John said, "Then I'll wait for you here." He looked at the map and continued, "If I hear gunshots, I mean continuous guns, and I'll attack the checkpoints along the road." As he spoke, he pointed to a road on the map that led directly to the east of the city. You can follow the gunshots, or the road on the map, and find us. ”

Pete looked at the map and nodded, "Understood." But what if we get stuck there? ”

"I'm still going to follow this path and beat through the checkpoints here. After controlling the way out of the city, I will send someone to meet you. John sighed slightly and said, "This should be the worst-case scenario." If that happens, we have to act quickly, because our people can't stay here for long. I think as soon as they realize what's going on, they're going to have people coming from both sides, north and south, and we're going to be completely enveloped in them. ”

Pete is worried about these things as well, but as long as you enter the city, you have to face such risks, which means that these are unavoidable. So he said, "What will happen to the car when we get out of that sewer?" ”

"My men who have infiltrated the city will give you their cars. Then you can give them the car keys that I gave you, and they can help you drive the car where you need it. Curtman really said that his phone rang, he turned to the side, looked back at John after a brief exchange and said, "My people came out, and he said that everything was fine with the people inside." You can leave at any time. ”

John nodded, looked at Pete and said, "Ready to go." Act as soon as possible to avoid further problems. ”

Pete said yes and turned to the others, who were ready at the moment. Seeing Pete coming, the people who were about to enter Slonium with him also took the initiative to surround him, a total of ten people, including Calvin and Matthew Russell.

"We're ready to go." "Someone will walk us down a path into Slonim and wait for us in a park in the north of the city," Pete said, putting on the bulletproof jacket. When the people we want to save arrive, take them with us and return the way they came. ”

"It doesn't sound like it's that hard." Calvin said.

Pete nodded and said, "That's right, provided that the military police in Slonim don't notice anything." After speaking, he looked at the other person on the side and said, "Thun, are your people ready?" ”

Thun had known Pitt before, and together they were in Georgia and had followed John to Abkhazia, where they were involved in another rescue operation. It is precisely because of this that John arranged for Thun to Pete.

"Ready." Thun said and glanced at the others behind him, "You can act at any time." ”

Pete nodded and didn't say much, looked at everyone, and said, "Finally, check each other's equipment." Hopefully we'll be able to get in and out quickly, but we still have to bring everything we need to bring with us. ”

"Haha. You feel like a fast gunner in bed, and you're reminding you to take precautions. Someone joked.

"Hahaha." The joke made everyone laugh, and Pete laughed and said, "Guys, if we succeed in the mission, then I'll invite you to go and have a good time." ”

"Talking counts, Pete." There is humanity.

"Then choose the most expensive one." Someone said loudly, "Yes, Pete is not short of money." We're going to bankrupt him. Hahaha. ”

Amid the banter and laughter, Pete, the eleven people, including him, finished checking. John on the side smiled at these people, then folded the map he had just used and handed it to Pete and said, "Remember what I just said, poor communication will be troublesome, try to act according to plan." ”

"Understood." As Pete agreed, Curtman and the man who was going to continue leading the way opened the door on the other side of the barn, "Come on." These two cars, getting in the car, may be a little squeezed, but they will arrive quickly. Said the man who led the way.

Pete put away the map and waved to his men, and everyone immediately followed Pete out of the grain field with bags containing weapons and ammunition, and boarded two cars waiting outside the grain field.

"Do you know what your name is? Or what should I call you. In the car, Pete looked at the man leading the way and asked.

"Call me, Chekov." The man said as he drove.

Pete nodded and said, "You can call me Pete." Listen to your English with an accent, are you a local? ”

"Yes, locals. Or maybe I'm Polish. Chekov smiled and said, "Everyone used to be a big family, but then they broke up, hehe." ”

Pete glanced at him and didn't say anything more, instead paying attention to the situation outside the car. This place is a bit backward, there are not many cars on the road, and the cars are all old. The road is also relatively narrow, especially where they are going, there are still a lot of potholes on the road, all of which look like they are in disrepair, so this section of the road is very bumpy. Fortunately, it was not far from the city on foot, and after about ten minutes, Chekov was off the road and onto an unpaved dirt road. After about three or four hundred meters, he entered a wooded field, and then the road became more bumpy, and he couldn't even see where he should go, and Chekov seemed to be moving forward from memory.

After driving for nearly a kilometer, Chekov stopped beside a dirt slope. and motioned for Pete to get them out of the car.

Pete didn't get out of the car immediately, but looked out of the car, to be honest, he didn't have a bottom in his heart at the moment, he was very careful from the beginning of the departure, always paying attention to the wind and grass ahead, so after confirming that there was nothing abnormal outside, he opened the car door and got out of the car.

"The car can only drive here. Now I'll take you on foot, and you'll go on, right next to those trees. That's the entrance to that tunnel. Chekov said.

Pete gestured to the others, only to see them take out their weapons from their bags and equip themselves. After about three minutes, Pete followed Chekov to the entrance to the so-called tunnel.

At this time, the area around this tunnel can be overgrown with weeds, and I don't know that there is a pit here from a distance, and even if I walk to it, I can't see it clearly, let alone know what this pit was used for.

Chekov took a brief look, then jumped down from a shallow part of the tunnel, turned around and gestured to Pete and them. After the others had descended into the tunnel, Chekov said as he walked out: "It is said that this was left over from the Great Patriotic War. I've heard from old people in the past that there was a fierce battle here, and many people died, including the villages and towns around Slonim, which were almost completely destroyed, and even Slonim was almost empty. ”
