Chapter Seventy-Two: Conversion

So Pete put Eric back on his back, held back enough, and walked out quickly in the southwest direction. And just as he continued his actions, Chennikov led people along the trail to find the wooden house here. When he saw the house, Chinnikov was excited. Because, in his opinion, a person who is exhausted and drags the wounded, when he sees the house, will definitely pass and rest in it. This is a normal state of mind for a person, so it seems to him that the goal is already in front of him at this moment.

But when Chinnikov led the people to the side of the house and entered the house, he found that although his judgment was correct, the people did not stay here, but had already left. However, Chennikov's mood was not affected, because judging by the blood stains left here, his target did not last long, which meant that they were quickly closing the distance between them and each other. So after following the traces to determine the direction of the target's escape, he didn't care about the report, and immediately chased people out again. And chased faster and faster, and after about ten minutes came to the woods where Pete had just rested.

At the same time, Colin and his team walked out of the crack in the mountain and re-entered a forest. It is impossible to determine whether this is the path that John wants them to find, the only thing that can be determined is that the direction is right. He immediately went back and had John contacted, reporting where they had gone.

John, who received the news, couldn't be sure whether Colin and they were going correctly, so he could only take out the map and estimate it according to what Colin said, and after thinking about it, he said to the person in charge of contact: "Tell Colin and let them continue to look in the direction." Judging from the distance they had traveled, it was likely that they had crossed the slopes and ridges and entered the other side of the mountain. But let them be careful, most of these Russians have also gone to the other side, and they may run into the other party's people at any time. If they spot the Russians or any other armed forces, don't act rashly, report it as soon as possible, and we'll move on to them immediately. ”

After receiving John's instructions, Colin did not hesitate to immediately lead the people out in the established direction, and about two or three minutes later, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from his two o'clock direction. This caused Colin to immediately stop and crouch down with the muzzle of his gun raised. However, after a few moments, he realized that the gunfire was not directed at him, and after making sure of this, he immediately got up and quickly increased his speed and walked towards the place where the gunfire had come from. Because the gunfire had clearly proved that he had come to the right place, and whoever shot here was probably related to John, who was the last person his gang was looking for.

Colin was not mistaken. Not long before, Chennikov and his men quickly shortened the distance between him and Pete. Although in the place where Pete rested before Chinikov, they took a moment to determine the direction in which they were traveling. But the occasional sound of gunfire also alerted Chennikov. It's just that his point of view is a little different from Pete's, in his opinion, since the other party has not left, he must have made contact with the target, and they will meet at the place where the fire is being exchanged at this moment or somewhere not far away. There should be a way through the hill, and the Yankees must have noticed this, so they entrenched themselves there, trying to pick up their target from there. So he didn't delay long, and picked up again after chasing them in the direction Pete and the others were heading.

Compared to Chinikov, Pete, who carried Eric on his back, was much slower. Although he wanted to get up quickly, he was powerless. So when Colin and John were in contact, Pete, who was carrying Eric on his back, reappeared in Chennikov's field of vision.

Chinnikov, who had once again discovered his target, did not dare to be careless this time. The first thing he did was to report to Ashraf. Not only did he report his position in detail, but he also reported his judgment to Achraf.

Ashraf was very satisfied with Chinnikov's report. Because his debriefing undoubtedly explained the reason why the other party did not continue to evacuate better than his own judgment. So Ashraf Jean, while allowing Chennikov to try to grasp the target, immediately changed his strategy again, changed his defensive posture back to the attacking state, and quickly surrounded John. This time it's no longer a posturing scare, it's a real attack. Ashraf already had a reason to drive the Yankees out of the place at all costs, and the reasons were sufficient, if not refutable.

Erik, who was carried by Pete, saved Pete's life without Pete's knowledge. This is because the first thing Chinnikov who chased from the rear was to kill the Yankee mercenary, but after careful observation, he found that it was his own goal that was the easiest to hit, so he had to give up for the time being. After the distance between the two sides was shortened again, Chinnikov did not shout again as he had last time, because he found that both men were diehards. The only way to shout is to chase after and kill the mercenary.

So Chinnikov quickly scattered the men and ran towards the sides of Pete and Eric. But luck was not on their side this time, and not long after they dispersed, one of them startled several birds in the forest.

The birds chirped as they flew into the sky and circled above the treetops. Pete, who had been on the alert, immediately noticed the movement. He immediately ducked behind a tree and looked back, knowing that it was clearly someone chasing him. He didn't dare to slack off, and after a brief look, he immediately ran with Eric on his back again. There is no way around it, it can only be like this at the moment. Because Pete doesn't even have a gun now, he can't do anything but run accidents.

But Chinnikov didn't know that Pete didn't even have weapons. The reason why they always want to kill Pete first is because they are afraid that Pete will interfere and kill them if he is carrying a weapon. If they knew that Pete didn't have a weapon, they would probably have pounced on him and subdued Pete directly.

So after seeing Pete's sudden speed, Chinnikov knew that his actions were detected by the other party. He didn't have time to think about it, so he could only quickly move towards the other party. But at this moment, the people who were sent by themselves to outflank from the right side came with the news that armed men had appeared in two directions in the direction of their advance.

This situation was not only expected by Chennikov, but it also made him nervous. He was even more sure of his previous guess. So he thought he couldn't wait any longer, maybe only some of the Yankees were seeing now, and maybe more people had already reached the area. If you don't hurry, it will be difficult for these people to fight back on their own, let alone take them back after the target has joined them.
