Hearing John say this, Pete couldn't help but look back in the direction of the woods. There is obviously a lot of meaning in what I just said. Isn't the focus on the Middle East in the future? No, to be precise, what business does Hermet undertake is not in the Middle East? It doesn't seem likely, it's an extremely important place, and the Americans have already paid a very high price there, how can it not be the point in the blink of an eye?

That can only refer to specific people, which means that there may be more conflicts with the Russians later. If you think about it, this is very likely. The Russians have come out of the shadow and predicament of the collapse of the Soviet Union and are trying to re-emerge, so there will be many conflicts between the old rivals in many places after that. That is, the whole post-Helmet focus may be related to Russia, right! Most likely.

John looked at Pete and Colin, who didn't seem to understand what he meant, and didn't explain much, just continued to look at the woods in front of him and said, "But we won't have anything to do lately." Our losses are huge, we have to have personnel to replenish them, and then we have to train them as well. It will take a month or two at the earliest. John sighed as if he was about to get up and leave, but before he could get up, he added, "I want to know, are you going to continue to do it?" After seeing Pete look at him, John continued, "I mean, after all this, are you still ready to continue doing this?" If you were given something more exciting in the future, what would you think? ”

Pete looked at John and then at Colin, only to see Colin continue to look at the woods and be on guard, obviously John was saying this to himself. Pete didn't think much about it, because he knew that his performance during this time, especially the performance of this day, had left a deep impression on John, one of the managers of Helmet, that is, everything he had done since he came here and the hard work he had taken was worth it, and his goal had been achieved.

So Pete said, "I'm just getting started. According to my plan, I should be doing it for a while. ”

"Plan?" John asked, somewhat strangely, "Do you still have a plan?" ”

"Yes." Pete nodded and said, "It should be said that it is a life plan." I want to make enough money to go to the university I want to go to and see some places. But it takes a lot of money, and what I'm better at now is what I'm doing. So I'm going to keep doing it. ”

John seemed to be satisfied with his answer, and after nodding slightly, he said, "But what if all the enemies we have to deal with in the future are like this one?" Are you afraid? ”

"I'll be afraid." Pete immediately nodded, "Don't talk about the Russians like this." Actually, I was scared when I was in the service. To this day, I still have nightmares, nightmares related to war. ”

"That said, it's not much of a difference from a scared point of view, is it?" John asked.

Pete looked at John and said, "Looks like that." I'm mentally prepared to be here, just like I was when I went to serve. ”

John laughed at Pete's words, stood up, and walked over to the river, saying as if to himself, "I hope you won't regret it later." ”

After John walked away, Pete turned his head and continued to look into the woods to continue to be vigilant, while Colin on the side suddenly turned to Pete and whispered, "Hey, boy." Looks like you're going to get lucky. ”

"Lucky?" Pete asked in confusion.

"Of course." Colin nodded, "If you want to keep doing this." ”

As Colin spoke, Pete suddenly saw a flash of light in the woods. He immediately raised the muzzle of his gun and whispered to Colin: "I don't know if I'm lucky or not, but it seems that someone is chasing after me." ”

Hearing Pete's words, Colin immediately looked into the woods. At the same time, Pete gestured to the others behind him who were still on guard, signaling that he had discovered the situation. After seeing the others react, Pete quickly looked back into the woods, where the light had just flashed.

"They use flashlights." Colin whispered as he looked at the woods, "And more than one." ”

As soon as Colin finished speaking, Pete saw a light flashing in the woods again, and the location of this light was obviously not the same as what he had seen before, and there was still some distance between them, so there may be quite a few people coming.

Thinking of this, Pete quickly expanded the scope of his patrol, trying to find something from other places. After all, judging from the results of his and Colin's previous reconnaissance, there were a lot of people on the other side, so it was difficult to say how many people came this time. If there were a lot of them, they wouldn't have been able to squeeze everyone together, because they were searching for and not simply marching. So it's hard to determine exactly how far they have spread out on their west and northwest sides in this area.

At this moment, John slowly came to the middle of Pete and Colin, and after looking at the woods, he said, "It seems that they don't know where we are, do they?" ”

"That's right." Pete said as he pointed to the two places where he saw two flashes of light, "One at two o'clock, and the other at twelve." They may have come around from the place of the firefight, probably quite a few people. ”

John nodded and turned around and beckoned to the back, only to see Toby quickly come to John's side with three people. After glancing at them, John said, "You guys and Pete are under the command of Colin, and you're here to keep an eye on them first." Don't shoot lightly, and only allow them to shoot when they have to come to the river. As he spoke, he pointed to the river and said, "Kane will cover you by the river with men." When Howard and the others get to the other side and get ready, you slowly retreat to the river. After saying that, he turned his head to look at the woods again and whispered, "It looks like it will take a few minutes." With the wounded, the pace was a little slow. ”

"Should we let the people from the East Coast come over here?" Toby asked.

"Nope." John immediately denied: "There's still a firefight there." It shows that there are more people in the north, who are being held back by them, and if they are easily allowed to evacuate, then those who are held back will quickly come south. That's when we're going to be in big trouble. ”

"Okay." Toby said helplessly when he heard John say this, "We're on our own here." ”

"Don't worry." John glanced at him and slowly turned back, "We'll be able to get out of here in a moment." Then he retreated to the river again.
