Chapter 62: Onslaught
After about seven or eight minutes. Pete was trying his arms and legs. After making sure that there were no fractures or dislocations, he slowly got up from the ground and slowly came to Eric's side.
Pete quickly glanced Eric up and down, then felt Eric's pulse and tried his breath. After making sure Eric was still alive, he quickly checked his injuries. The arm was broken, and there might be some broken elsewhere, but none of that matters at the moment, as long as it's not fatal. Anyway, I can't handle it at the moment.
After making sure Eric wasn't dead, Pete looked around. It was as if they were in a small valley, because it was uphill in all directions, which meant that the place they were in was relatively low. He couldn't be sure where he was going, and he couldn't even figure out the east, west, north and south at the moment. But at this moment, there was a sudden movement from above him. Of course, it wasn't the gunshots, but the movement that was very close to him, and he even noticed that some small pebbles were rolling down.
Apparently someone from above is coming again, and it is certain that it will not be his own people who will come, but the Russians. After all, it's impossible for the entire Man-Eating Shark squad to be able to catch up with them and chase them all the way here.
Thinking of this, Pete immediately reached for the gun on his body, but then he realized that neither the rifle nor the pistol were gone, and he could not find any weapons in the grass around him.
He immediately picked up Eric and dragged him over and into the woods. But before they could get far, the movement above slowly approached the cliff they had rolled down on. This caused Pete to stop moving immediately, and instead dragged Eric to the nearest tree, and then crouched quietly on the edge of the tree, looking at the cliff above.
On the cliff was the chasing Chennikov and the raccoon team he led. Once they were below, they quickly searched, but found nothing they were looking for. So they followed the edge of the cliff all the way to the place where Pete and Eric had rolled off the cliff.
"This is where they should slide down." The Russian, who had been walking in front of Chinnikov after arriving here and had been observing possible traces on the ground, spoke, pointing to the ground as he spoke.
Chinnikov looked in the direction the man was pointing, and saw that the grass on the ground had indeed been crushed, and there were still some fresh blood stains on the edge of the cliff. But despite this, Chinnikov was not happy. Because judging from this trace, these two people did not stay on the hillside at all but fell directly uncontrollably, which means that no matter whether they are still alive or not, he will not be able to catch them for a while.
Chinnikov looked down, the cliff below seemed to be cut, there was no other way to get below as quickly as possible except to climb down or fall like the two of them, but at a glance he knew that it was not easy to climb, the cliff was too steep and it was almost straight, and it seemed that there was not much place to grasp and land. And the canopy can only be seen about four or five meters below, that is, it is impossible to jump directly. Generally speaking, if you jump directly down at a height of more than three meters, you have to risk injury, and the canopy can only be seen after four or five meters, and the height of the tree may be five or six meters high or even more. And who knows what is going on below? It's hard to see under the canopy, so what if it's still a steep slope or a rocky hill below? Even if you don't talk about the terrain, what about people? Who can guarantee that the two people who fall will die or faint? If you go on like this, without any protection or cover, as long as one person below is armed with a pistol, you can kill yourself and your subordinates on the way.
After thinking quickly about so many questions, Chennikov quickly withdrew his gaze, looked back at the sides of the cliff, and added: "We have to find a way to go down." But certainly not from here. We need to find a place where we can go safe. Let's split up and look for it, quick! ”
Just as Chennikov and his team were heading to the cliff in search of a way down to the bottom of the cliff. On the eastern side of the hillside, the Helmet mercenaries under John's command had succeeded in completely separating the Russians led by Ashraf from the squad codenamed "Weasel" on the hillside. And after splitting up, they launched a fierce attack on the weasel team on the hillside.
John looked anxious at the moment, and after looking at the hillside, he turned to Donovan, who was still waiting by his side and was also watching the battle, and said, "It seems that Eric should not have fallen into their hands yet." Otherwise, they wouldn't be fighting us here, they obviously don't have as many people as us right now, and their firepower is very limited. After speaking, he looked at the farthest point of sight on the hillside, and then said with some doubts: "But why is there no gunfire up there?" If your people are still resisting, then there will definitely be gunfire. Are they still running? After speaking, he looked back at Donovan and said, "Is there anyone else chasing them besides these Russians?" ”
Donovan struggled to recall for a moment and said, "There should be." These Russians should have been divided into three parts. Some of them attacked us halfway through our latest escape, and they quickly disappeared after that, and I think they and the gang on the hillside must have chased Pete and Eric. ”
"That's right!" With that, John looked at the men who were attacking the hillside and shouted, "Hurry up!" Crush those bastards on the hillside at any cost! ”
Hearing John's shout, the people who were attacking the hillside immediately moved, only to see that after a short exchange, the intensity of the group's shooting suddenly increased, and it felt like all the people had adjusted the assault rifles in their hands to fully automatic mode, not pursuing any accuracy, only seeking the density of fire in a short period of time. This made the Weasel Squad, which was rescued and beaten and unable to fight back effectively, even more passive, and just after the Russians were completely suppressed, one of Helmet's mercenaries took out an RG-6 grenade launcher. It looks like an oversized revolver, except that instead of firing bullets, it's used to fire exploding 40mm grenades. I saw that the man holding the RG-6 took a few steps forward, got down on one knee after finding the angle of shooting, and after quickly aiming, he pulled the trigger on the Russian.
