"Aren't you worried that the people you're going to arrest aren't here for a long time?" "Maybe they've run away, or they've never been here at all." ”

Ashraf's words made Semolov sneer disapprovingly and said, "Tell the truth. I was like you at your age, worrying about a lot of things and always missing a lot of things at the same time. But now it's completely different, and there may still be omissions, but worry? No, I've been worrying about my decisions and plans for a while. You know why? ”

"Why?" Achraf asked, puzzled, for this question, he really couldn't figure out what this guy was referring to for a while.

"It's simple." Semolov looked at Ashraf and said, "What I've been doing is tracking, surveillance, and arresting. Or it's anti-tracking, escaping capture. So I'm much more sure than you are in this matter at hand. He said, gesturing around, "I studied this area before I started. Whether we chase them or not, they are the most likely to escape here. Because here not only recently, but also on the other side of the bridge, in Zugdidi, where the Georgian army is stationed. You may think it sounds too simple, but in fact, many times people don't think very complicated, few people will deliberately make a thing very complicated and unexpected, especially in an emergency, they will choose the easiest way to think of and the easiest way to convince themselves to solve the problem. So they must have run here. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Ashraf asked, somewhat incredulous.

Semolov nodded and said, "It's as simple as that. He smiled and said, "You have to understand that they took the wounded with them, and they were still on foot, although they deliberately avoided the main roads and walked some inaccessible places, but if you calculate the time and distance, you will know how far you can't run." If they are still in the heart of Abkhazia at the moment, they are the real masters. ”

Ashraf had to admit that what Semolov said was very reasonable, no matter how he ran, if he carefully analyzed the psychology of people at the moment, and then calculated their speed, it was easy to judge the direction and area they could go. It doesn't seem complicated, but even so, there is still a big variable, that is, the Yankees are obviously not going to sit idly by, they will definitely take action, and this action is really dangerous.

So he looked at Semolov and said, "But there are still people who will come here." While you set up manpower to block the bridges and main roads, traps are set here. But I have to warn you that these Yankee mercenaries are very powerful, far from being comparable to ordinary people. ”

"Of course." Semolov nodded and said, "I know that." Don't forget that the people I'm going to arrest are also from the same place, and those people are from the same place, right? I mean it's all from a security company. But in my opinion, they are not very good. At least not to the point where it feels unbelievable to me. I didn't even lose anyone here. So don't worry, if they do come, there will be a good show to watch. ”

Ashraf was stunned for a moment, but shook his head slightly helplessly, and then did not gnaw again. Originally, he wanted to say that it was just because Semolov took the initiative and suddenly attacked. But now it's completely different, now it's me who is the enemy and the enemy, even if there are many people, but who knows how they will act. And at night, the advantage of having a large number of people here will be greatly reduced, and maybe when they don't find anything, they have already touched their side. What then? When the other party becomes the attacking party, if the number and quality of the personnel who come are the same as the previous ones who fought against him, then these GRU in Semolov's hands alone are not enough to stop the opponent. Do you want to rely on the people of the Seventy-fourth Airborne Division by that time? Or rely on the Abkhazians here? Come on. In the dark, a group of people who are not familiar with each other face a group of experienced and tacit Yankee mercenaries, which are not helping, but adding to the chaos.

The reason why Ashraf didn't say anything more was because he felt that Semolov couldn't listen to him at the moment, and it was clear that this guy was trying to prove something, or that he wanted to prove that he was more savvy, more experienced, and knew how to complete the task than himself. In addition, not only was the task there not completed, but the personnel he brought with him were also severely damaged, which also gave Semolov, who was quite smooth at the moment, a certain sense of superiority. So at this time, saying something cold water by yourself will not only not work, but will also attract ridicule and even disgust from this guy. Why bother? It's better to be vigilant yourself, and if you really want to play your part when the situation gets out of control.

While the Russians and Abkhazians were searching the entire town, their target was hiding in a basement in the southwest of the city called the Dekaze garage that John had previously mentioned. The reason why they are hiding here is not because they rushed into a car repair shop in a panic and then coerced the owner here. It's that the boss here is a guy who has been bought by the Yankees. In other words, these people who were scattered and fled here are not only because of the reasons that Semolov said, but more importantly, there is a person of their own who has been bought.

Because of this, they not only got a good rest here, but also gave some treatment to the wounded they had been carrying. Although searchers came three times, no one looked closely at the basement, which was full of oil and broken car parts, and even a wave of Abkhaz fighters did not even find the basement. The only thing that worries those hiding here at the moment is how they can get out safely, because according to the news brought by the owner of the garage, there are already a large number of armed men here, blocking all the important roads in the whole town, and there are vehicles full of armed men patrolling back and forth outside the city. Anyway, the whole town looks like it's ready to go. So the people hiding here have no idea what will happen next.

And on the banks of the Ingri, after about three and a half hours of walking, at nine o'clock in the evening. John led the Hermet mercenaries to a place two kilometers outside of Alt's city under the cover of night. That is, they have just passed the point that has been named Artemisone. That's why they stopped here, because if something went wrong, they could quickly move back to a blocking point a kilometer away to cover their own people's departure.
