Chapter 35: Hiding (Part II)
Pete looked at the growing number of people with guns on the road and whispered, "Sir, it seems that we can't get out of here easily, we still have to fight." β
Donovan smiled helplessly, turned to look at Pete, and said, "Although these people can't shoot, this encirclement and interception is not bad." No way, this is their territory. After sighing, he continued, "How many bullets do we have?" β
Pete heard Donovan ask about this, and after feeling in his pocket, he said, "The last magazine, a maximum of forty or fifty rounds." As he spoke, he took out his pistol again, "There are still pistols, but there are not many bullets left." β
Donovan looked at Pete and said, "Looks like you're better than me." Old man and Jeff, they should be about the same as me. As he spoke, he glanced at the people on the road, "If we fight, our bullets won't last long." β
"But you have to keep going. Even if you run out of bullets at the end. Pete said in a firm tone.
Donovan looked at Pete and said, "If our opponents all think like you, then we might be finished a long time ago." But seriously, this is the first time I've experienced this kind of fight while being surrounded and running. The militants who served in the previous service were not our opponents, but they were more skillful and more dangerous. But tonight, all I saw was a bunch of outlaws trying to consume us all to death. β
Pete smiled bitterly when he heard Donovan say this: "Actually, this is what we are most afraid of now." β
Just as Pete was talking, there was movement from the stairs, and Avery quickly ran up from downstairs and whispered after seeing Pete and Donovan, "Boss, there's movement downstairs, it seems to have come with us." β
Donovan didn't look at it, because it was not surprising that there was a follower, not only not strange but even expected, if no one followed all the time, why did the other party intercept it so accurately, and why did such a long road gather in this section? And more and more?
So Donovan said, "Don't alarm them easily. Let everyone be ready, don't talk or move, don't shoot until you have to, all we have to do now is to stall for a response. Go ahead. β
Avery turned and went downstairs in agreement, quickly informing Donovan of his decision to the people who were hiding on the second floor. Pete slowly came to the side of the corridor after Ellie went downstairs and quietly observed the bottom of the building, that is, the direction of the road they came from, and there was nothing to see from here, which meant that the other party did not follow closely. Pete turned his head to look farther away, only to see a shadow shaking about forty or fifty meters away, but it was just shaking, and he didn't get closer. Seeing this, Pete slowly squatted down and didn't continue to look, just quietly listened to the movements around him.
The people forty or fifty meters away were the ones Leo had been there for a while, but Leo stopped his men when he saw the street lights on the TX-375 ring road from a distance. After observing for a moment, he said to his subordinates: "Just wait here." β
"Wait? But... One of Leo's side questioned in a low voice.
Leo sneered, glanced at the man and said, "It's nothing. There must be people along the way who are tempted by the bounty, and there should be many of them. We hadn't heard any gunshots since we got here from the square. Any idea what this means? Without waiting for the people around him to answer, he continued: "It means that they didn't go to the ring road." Instead, they still hid in the area. As he spoke, he looked at the buildings around him and said, "Maybe it's just hiding here somewhere." If we chase after us at this time, do you think we can beat those people? You're not going to think that bounty is so easy to get like that Carlos, are you? β
"Then we...
Leo crouched down on the spot, pointed in the direction of the ring and said, "We'll wait here." I'll say it when we get our hands dirty. β
Hearing Leo say this, his men didn't say anything more, but just looked quietly in the direction of the ring road ahead like him. After about three or four minutes, Leo's phone rang suddenly. He took out the phone and looked at it, then stood up, walked behind the dozen or so people, and connected the phone.
The caller was the man who sent him, and as soon as Leo answered the call, he said, "We're done tonight." As soon as I got the news, that stupid Alvarez had been led across the border. It's too late. β
Leo didn't seem surprised to hear this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Where are you now?" What am I going to do here, and do I want to continue? β
"I'm right north of JuΓ‘rez right now, and I'm almost there. I'm going to go back now, get out of here with my money and find a place to hide for a while before Alvarez gives everything an explanation. β
Leo listened to the phone while looking at the direction of the ring and said, "What about these people in front of you?" β
"Those people are useless and not easy to deal with. That's just a gangster, and even if he catches it, he can't get back to Alvarez. Just let them fight those idiots. Saying that, the man smiled and said, "Do I want to make a bet with you?" β
"Bet?" Leo asked.
"Yes. I bet no one there can stop those people. The man said.
"I hope they can stay here with both sides." Leo said with a twist, "But are we really going to let them go?" Alvarez..... β
The man looked a little impatient and said, "Leave this alone. There are quite a few people coming from the north side of the border, and they should have come to save the people you were chasing, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon. We can only blame ourselves for not keeping what we should have kept. It's too late. I'll go to the place where we parted at once, and I'll ask you to help me with something. β
"Yes, sir." As soon as Leo finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Leo took one last look at the direction of the ring and beckoned to his own person and was about to retreat, but he didn't go far before he stopped, took out the phone and dialed a number, and after the other party connected, he said, "Where are you now?" Loop 375? Tell those people to look for them, they're around here. They just killed Carlos, so they certainly didn't go far, just around here, let those who want a bounty don't just stay on the road, others are not stupid, will they still come when they see so many people? Tell them to look on both sides of the road where there are houses. β
After Leo made the call, he quickly disappeared into the darkness with the people. And on the road, the news of Leo quickly spread to everyone's ears. The men quickly targeted the area where the piranha team was hiding. So the men walked down the road one after another in a noisy commotion and walked towards the man-eating shark team.
