After the car drove away, Pete saw John get up from the ground and got up with him, and after looking at the pickup truck in the distance, he whispered to John: "Sir, it seems that there are such checkpoints in the east of here, and these checkpoints are patrolling back and forth with each other. ”

John nodded, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the city and said, "Let's go over and have a look first." With that, he got up and slowly touched the direction of the city.

Pete watched the intersection warily as he followed John out. After walking five hundred meters in a daze, they rounded the intersection and came to the side of the road leading to the city, and when they arrived, their view of the city suddenly improved. Although there are more buildings, there are also more street lights on both sides of the road, and the whole road is clearly illuminated.

After looking at it with a telescope, John said, "Walk along this road for about two hundred meters, and on both sides of the road are continuous buildings and there are roads between them, and these roads form forks and junctions with the road in front of you, which should be regarded as entering the city." But there were sentries on the road, and I just saw two people carrying people walking by on their backs. The defenses should be much tighter than the outside. ”

"Do you want to go any further?" Pete asked.

John was visibly hesitant to move on. Of course he wanted to look further, but the defense ahead was noticeably tighter and the road was brighter, which was obviously not good for their reconnaissance. What's more, if something goes wrong, they are likely to be trapped there, and their own people are still in the woods by the river nearly two kilometers away.

"Colin, did you bring the drone?" John asked.

Colin immediately nodded and said, "Bring it." But we're going to have to find a hidden place if we're going to use this thing. ”

"I know." John said yes and looked at Pete, pointed to the first row of buildings that appeared in front of him and said, "Pete, Colin." The two of you go there and see if there's a suitable place. ”

Pete turned his head to look at the place John was pointing at, and saw that there was a row of four-story multi-storey buildings that looked like a residential building. Because some places upstairs are lit upstairs, while others are dark.

"Can we go to the roof there?" Pete looked at John and said.

"Yes. It would be nice if you could go up. You must be careful not to alarm anyone. John looked at the building and said, "There is no state of emergency here, it seems to be business as usual." It seems that the people here don't take us seriously. With that, he motioned to Pete's and Colin, "Go ahead, be careful." Don't alarm those who haven't slept yet. ”

Pete and Colin nodded, then slowly stood up and walked towards the house. After about five minutes, the two came to the outer wall of the building, and quickly found the stairwell leading upstairs.

The lights were on in the stairwell at the moment, and after listening carefully to make sure there were no footsteps going up and down, Pete nodded to Colin and walked into the stairwell with a gun in his hand.

The journey to the top floor was smooth and did not alarm anyone except for the dog of a family near the staircase on the third floor. Although the dog alarmed its owner, it didn't move after a few scoldings, and didn't come out to see what made him bark suddenly.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Pete found that it was a fire ladder with vertical upwards, and a gate that opened up and down, which felt like the entrance and exit of a submarine.

Pete quickly flung his rifle behind him, climbed up with his pistol, pushed open the lid blocking the entrance, and looked around the roof, making sure there was no problem before climbing up.

It looks like no one has been on the roof for a while, except for some guano and some antennas on the roof.

Pete made a brief circle around the roof of the building and returned to the entrance, and after signaling to Colin, who was still on guard below, that it was all right, Pete walked to the northwest side of the roof and poked his head out to look at the city.

I saw that on the road below, you can clearly see the figures walking back and forth on the road. And every once in a while, you can see some people gathered together, which should be some temporary checkpoints. On the side of the road about two or three hundred meters, it seems that an armored car parked on the side of the road was also seen. Some vehicles carrying armed men even passed by the road from time to time.

Seeing such a formation, Pete couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart. If this really starts, whether there are Russians here or not, just by seeing so many Abkhazians is enough for their own people to drink a pot, especially the thing that looks like an armored car parked on the side of the road, is there only one here or one of them?

Just as Pete was worried about the scene outside, there was movement from the entrance to the roof behind him. Pete quickly returned to the entrance, only to see John climb up with some difficulty. Pete quickly reached out and dragged him up, and behind him was Colin's backpack and Colin himself.

As soon as the two of them came up, Pete reported what he had seen to John. John didn't say anything as if he had expected this, but just looked out in the same place where Pete had gone.

After a while, Colin took out a laptop-like thing from his backpack, and after fiddling with it for a while, he took out a small drone from the backpack that was placed not far away from him, and after fiddling with it for a while, Colin picked up the laptop-like thing again and let the small drone fly slowly.

Pete quickly looked at the notebook-like thing in front of Colin, and saw that it was actually a console, not only with a screen that could show what the drone was shooting at the moment, but also two rolling balls to control the height and direction of the drone's flight.

After adjusting the height, Colin turned to John, "Sir, it's okay." ”

"The location previously confirmed with Kane. This repair shop is about three or four hundred meters northwest of us. Fly there and see what's going on on the road. John said.

Colin nodded, and slowly flew out in a northwesterly direction after pulling the drone up again. Pete quickly turned his head to look at the screen of the console after watching the drone disappear into the night sky, only to see that the camera on the drone also has night vision function, and the scene below can be clearly seen on the screen. Although there are freezes on the screen from time to time, this does not have a big impact, and the people below, vehicles, and people standing in the dark can also see clearly. Through it, Pete saw that the armored car should be a Russian-made infantry fighting vehicle, the BMP-2. There were two people standing not far from the car, and there were more people moving in the whole area than they had seen before, and the activities were more frequent.
