Chapter 161: The Sound of Cannons
Hearing the gunshot, Pete immediately got up and looked in the direction where the gunfire came from. Strangely, however, the gunshot was not directed at him, and after a short moment there was no movement.
"What is this?" Puzzled, Colin asked, "Did the gun go off?" ”
"Possibly." Pete continued, "But someone must be here again." That's not a good thing for us. ”
Just then, the satellite phone that Pete had given Colin moved. Colin immediately answered: "This is Colin. ”
Before Colin could finish his sentence, John's voice came to him, and he said, "What's the situation with you right now?" ”
"Nope. It's business as usual with us, except that there was a burst of gunfire from the south, near the Mexican station, not directed at us, and now there is no movement. Colin Road.
"Listen. This is probably the one who rushed to the Mexicans to loot. They think there's a lot of money hidden there. , so I want to make a fortune. Now it is possible that anyone with a gun in their hands has gone there, including the partisans. Now only a small part of the guerrillas in the city are still fighting us, and the rest have rushed to you. ”
Such news couldn't help but make Colin nervous, and he couldn't help but look at the others around him and said, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Continue to be on standby. Don't worry too much, they're not here to deal with you. It's just for the money, and the gunshots you just heard may be that they've already started fighting. John said.
"Good. I remain on standby. As Colin spoke, another burst of gunfire was heard from the south.
This burst of gunfire was certainly an exchange of fire, and it was a fight between the two sides. And the intensity of the firefight is rapidly increasing. This made Colin breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's true. They had just started a fierce firefight. ”
"Don't be careless. Keep your eyes open and be alert. If all goes well, I think we'll be able to meet soon. That's it. John said.
"What did John say?" Pete asked immediately after seeing Colin end contact.
"There are two messages, one good and one bad, which do you want to hear?" Colin said with a relaxed look as he watched the gunshots.
Pete turned his head to look at him, although he couldn't see his expression clearly because of the darkness and the night vision equipment on the other party's face, he could still feel that the situation at the moment should not be bad. So he said, "Okay." Now I just want to hear the good news. ”
"The good news is that the gang out there isn't coming for us at all. It's for this guy's money. Colin said as he gestured to the dead body of Hernandez, "Now everyone here believes that this guy has a lot of money or possessions hidden here. ”
"So these guys are already fighting for money now?" Ochoa, who was on the side, looked in the direction where the gunshots were coming and said.
"That's how it should be." Colin smiled and said, "What else can they do now if they weren't attacking us?" ”
"And what about the bad news?" Ochoa continued.
Colin turned his head to look at Pete and said, "Do you want to hear it?" Peter. ”
"What could it be?" Pete didn't seem very concerned: "Could it be that the guerrillas are still pestering us and not moving?" ”
"Huh. Pretty much. But the guerrillas are about to join the battle at hand. Colin said.
"Then why is there still fighting in the city?" Pete asked, puzzled.
"Presumably those left behind by the guerrillas. This suggests that they may not want to let us go easily. Colin Road.
Pete nodded, "So that's bad news, right?" ”
Without waiting for Colin to answer, the gunfire outside quickly subsided. Then I faintly heard the sound of some people shouting.
"Is this a winner?" Ochoa said as he looked south.
"Don't make a sound." Pete gestured to Ochoa and listened carefully, "The sound seems to be getting closer. As he spoke, he looked at Colin and said, "Should we retreat into the woods?" ”
Colin nodded and said, "I'm here to watch, you take the others and walk back." ”
Pete nodded and said, "I'll stay with you." It's good to have a response. ”
Colin glanced at Pete's leg, and saw Pete immediately say, "There will be no problem." Rest assured. If there's a problem, I can't wait for you to come. ”
Seeing that Pete insisted and did not continue to object, Colin looked at Ochoa and said, "Bring him Jill's outfit." Fast. ”
At this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded in the city. Such an explosion sounded like two explosions in a row. The two sounds were a bit far away, but they could still be heard clearly in the middle of the night, at least much clearer than the gunshots that had been heard from the city before. And at the same time as the two explosions were heard, the gunshots that had been continuous were also gone. Even those who were not far from Pete, who were still talking just now, also stopped moving.
Just as everyone was trying to figure out what was going on, the explosion came again. It's just that this time it's become extremely dense compared to before, one after another, and the interval between each other is very short.
"It's a mortar." Colin, who was still on guard, whispered.
Pete puts the night vision goggles on with Ochoa's help. After adjusting it for a while, he picked up the gun again and said, "I hope it's not our people who will be bombed." ”
Of all the people who heard the constant explosions at the moment, perhaps only Perez was in a good mood. Because he knew it was the sound of mortars, and he knew better that it was the attack of those he had sent out to support Mina. In his opinion, the Yankees would not be able to withstand such an attack, and would soon be defeated with heavy casualties, and then forced to find another way out of the area. That's exactly what you want. After that, the rabble is left in the way. It's just that these people are not a threat at all, they are too far from the Yankees, and if they dare to think of taking advantage of themselves, then maybe in five minutes, a battle will be over. After that, I was able to find the Mexican money and get out of here in a big way.
Thinking of this, the corners of Perez's mouth couldn't help but grin, revealing a rather smug smile. But before his smile could completely disappear, the subordinate in the car with him who was in charge of liaison suddenly shouted.
"What?! What did you say?! The guy shouted and looked at Perez with some fear.
Perez looked at him dissatisfied, and he was obviously startled by the shouting just now. Especially on such a night when there was a fierce battle in the middle of the night, it was even more susceptible to fright.
