Chapter 110: Situation
"No, it's a little farther away here. It can't go far, though. We had to stop if we could only go 100 meters, because if we went any further, we would enter a sparsely planted area, which would be more likely to be detected by the surveillance. After Santos finished speaking, he glanced at Pete and the others, who had all followed, and continued: "Come on, let's move on." ”
John nodded and looked at the others, "Keep up with them, be on guard." With that, he gestured to Santos and walked on. After about three minutes, Santos slowly came to a tree with a slightly crooked trunk. He stopped again, and when he saw John coming up, he pointed to the north and said, "We can only go here." It's too dangerous to go any further. With that, he slowly approached a thick branch of the tree that stretched out diagonally, and after slowly brushing away the leaves from the branch, he glanced at it and motioned to John to come up as well.
John slowly came to Santos's side and took out a telescope with night vision to look through the branches of the tree that he had opened, only to see a shadow similar to a house in front of him, about a hundred meters away. Behind the houses, there were lights shining in some places, and after a while, a figure walked by.
John gestured to Pete after looking around, and handed Pete the telescope in his hand. Pete took the binoculars and looked at it, "There seem to be very few guards here. There are only two people on this side, and the distance is quite far. If you look at it from here, it's not hard to get there. ”
"It's just how it looks from here." John whispered, "There must be a reason why these people are doing this. I think the watchtowers on both sides of this will definitely be able to see this, which means that if you attack rashly, then there will be bullets coming from high places on the left and right sides of the day, and there will be no way to get close to the barbed wire fence at that time. ”
Pete heard John say this and looked to the sides, but he couldn't see anything from the angle, because he didn't look far to see the dense woods.
Pete put down his binoculars and said, "We'd better go to the gate, we'll all have to know what the towers look like." ”
John nodded and looked at Santos and said, "Is there a place for us to see these towers?" ”
Santos was a little embarrassed by such a request, but after a moment he nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to be very careful." ”
"Of course." John nodded, "It's not the first time we've done something like this. Take us there. ”
"Okay." Santos nodded, then turned to the east and said, "Let's go and see the gate first." When he saw that John had no objection, he turned and went east. This time, however, he walked much slower than before, and the further east he went, the slower it became. After walking about fifty or sixty meters, Santos stopped again. After looking back and forth, he lowered his body and slowly came to a tree branch, as if after identifying it back and forth, he slowly removed the branch and looked out. A moment later, Santos motioned to John again for him to come up and see for himself, but before John could move, Santos motioned for John to lower his center.
John slowly approached Santos, and then looked out through the open branches as before.
Santos raised his hand and pointed high, John looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that about a hundred meters away from the direction of nine o'clock, there was a guard tower six or seven meters high above the ground. There was not just one person on the watchtower, but two people. One of the two seemed to be still smoking.
John slowly lowered his binoculars and motioned for Pete to come up again. Pete slowly came to John's side, because Santos opened a limited gap, John had to give up his position and let Pete come to Santos's side, after Pete raised the binoculars to look out, he whispered in Pete's ear: "There are a lot of people standing here." There were also people standing by the door below. ”
Pete quickly looked back and forth, and from the current angle, there were four or five people standing near the door. Further inward, behind the watchtower, you can see parked cars, and quite a few of them are parked. Pete stepped back after looking at it, and after stepping back, he said to John, "There seem to be more cars parked here than in the previous photo." Will they have new helpers? ”
"Nope." Hearing Pete say this, Santos immediately denied: "At least we received the order to come here and start surveillance, and we didn't find any new people stationed here. ”
John didn't say anything, but instead said, "Have you counted or know the exact number of people here?" ”
"Statistically impossible. We only inquired in the city, and there were about thirty or forty people here. ”
"Is it accurate?" John asked.
"It should be accurate." "This is information from the people who are in charge of their out-of-town procurement," Santos said. Of course, this is not what the man told us personally, but from the people who did business with him. ”
John nodded, looked at Pete after thinking about it, and said, "What do you think?" Maybe you don't know it yet, but the guy inside should already know that someone is coming against him. ”
"What?!" Santos was surprised by the news, and he looked at John and said, "This news... How do you know? ”
"Now is not the time to talk about this. But absolutely accurate. John looked at Pete and said, "What do you think?" ”
Pete looked around and said, "If you want to do it, it's best to do it as soon as possible, maybe it's best to do it now or in the wee hours of the morning." Because of this we have an advantage, judging from the situation at the moment, these people should not be particularly guarded. Most people should be sleeping too. If after dawn, those people may all be on standby, and we will be in trouble. ”
"Not tonight." John shook his head slightly and said, "Not tonight." There are still some questions that I haven't figured out, like where exactly that guy is here. Now that they're aware of it, there's going to be some countermeasures, and we're going to figure out what they're going to do. But you're right, it's not during the day. Attacking this place during the day will turn a raid into a storm, which will be very disadvantageous to us. So the earliest time to act... It should be after sunset tomorrow. We'll have more certainty after we get the guy named Jose and figure out what's inside. ”
"Okay." Pete nodded, although he didn't agree with John's decision, he didn't want to refute it, after all, John was not only the boss, but more importantly, what he said did make sense. My own gang is here to arrest people, not to simply attack and clean up. So he continued, "Then let's go look elsewhere." ”
