Chapter 141: Crisis
Without waiting for Pete to answer, Meghan on the side spoke, "They will evacuate from the north side of there." Previously arranged. This is the route provided by the same guide who was with Colin. ”
John then looked at Meghan and said, "What did that man say?" Without waiting for Meghan to answer, John contacted Pete again: "You guys stay there and don't move." Don't move casually, stay there first. I'll give you instructions when I've contacted Colin and confirmed. ”
"Yes. Got it. After Pete responded, John ended his correspondence and contacted Colin instead. At this moment, Colin and his men and guide were driving the pickup truck they had captured loaded with heavy machine guns to the southeast. It's just that their speed is not fast, because at the moment there are still some people with guns on the road from time to time. These people were not guerrillas, but some opportunists who tried to get a reward, and these people did not know if they were afraid of the heavy machine guns on it when they saw their car, or if they knew that only guerrillas would drive such a car through the city at this time, and no one would provoke them along the way, let alone encounter any obstacles. But even so, Colin still didn't dare to go too fast, in fact he was very nervous at the moment, this place was too strange to him, he didn't know what the road would be like when he turned over, what situation he would encounter, so he didn't let the driver go too fast, just went all the way to the southeast at a speed of thirty or forty yards.
"Colin! Where are you now? ”
When he heard John's voice, Colin felt the same way as Pete, and he immediately said, "I'm rushing to Pete." According to the guide, we will be there in about five minutes. ”
"Good!" Mr. John complimented and then continued, "What is the situation on the road now?" ”
"There were a lot of people with guns on the road. But they don't seem to know what to do. There is no one to command, and none of them are in a gang. Colin Road.
"Do you see anyone like you heading southeast?" John continued.
"Nope. Only now the gunfire from the southeast has stopped. Pete: Have they been in touch? Colin asked, with some concern.
"They're fine for now. However, it is likely to face difficulties at any time. What I want to know most now is the path provided by the guide who is with you. Is this road in the general direction or has it been walked before, and is it indeed a road? John asked.
Hearing this, Colin immediately looked back at the guide who was sitting in the back row, his eyes widened and he looked extremely nervous, and said, "Has anyone walked the road you provided before?" ”
"What way?" The man didn't come back to his senses for a moment, and looked at Colin and asked puzzledly.
"It's in the woods north of those Mexicans, the road you told us we could get to the Venezuelan border." Colin said quickly.
"Oh... That way. Of course, there have been people who have walked before. There used to be a smuggling ring. But then they were finished, and although sometimes there were other people who used them, they became less and less, and then they were abandoned. There are fewer and fewer people who know this clearly, and even if they do, most of them are older guys. The man said.
Colin immediately repeated the man's words to John, but before Colin could finish speaking, John interrupted when he heard that the road had been used before and was still known, "Listen to Colin, you need to hurry up and get there as soon as possible." I think the road to the north is going to be dangerous. You immediately ask the guide to find a way to go directly to that road. Take him with you. That means you don't go past where the Hernandez guys are stationed, and you'd better find another way. But the road was finally close enough to get there, not too far, because there was no time to go too far. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”
Although Colin didn't understand what John meant for a moment, he still sensed the danger. So he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said after agreeing: "Pete, are they in any trouble?" ”
"It's too late to explain. I just don't think it's right, or I'm worried. You have to be quick, remember what I said. And be very careful, after all, it is Hernandez's den, and there may be people hiding them in the shadows. So, don't be careless. Report the situation at any time. That's it. John finished his contact with Colin after receiving an affirmative response. As soon as he finished here, Megan, who followed him out, said, "What are you worried about?" ”
"Worried about what?" John looked at Meghan and asked a disgruntled rhetorical question, and then did not rush to answer, but looked at the Helmet mercenary who had already released the drone and said, "How is it, what is the situation outside?" ”
"They're retreating sir, they're heading towards the city center." A Hermet mercenary who controls a drone and stares at a screen.
"Good. Keep an eye on them for me. After saying that, he turned his head to look at the people who had been regrouped: "Pick out the cars that can still be used." First, put all the wounded in a usable car. Hurry up, we've got to get out of here as soon as possible. As he spoke, he looked up at the man who was still on guard on the second floor: "Be vigilant." ”
After arranging everything and seeing that everyone was busy, he looked at Megan and continued, "Do you think the path you arranged is a good choice?" ”
"What's wrong with that?" Megan asked, puzzled.
"Of course there is a problem." John touched his head, which was still a little dizzy and in constant pain, and said, "If you were Hernandez, or if you were Hernandez's man in charge of his safety, would you not know the situation around your own hiding place?" ”
Meghan is not stupid, and when he heard John say this, he understood the hidden dangers. She looked at John and didn't speak, and John continued: "There were more than twenty of Hernandez's men when they left there, and Pete just told me that they were only a dozen or so men, so where did the rest go?" Have you thought about it? John said, pointing to the dilapidated courtyard wall, "You don't think those who didn't show up died here, do you?" ”
Megan looked outside and said, "What?" Isn't it impossible? ”
"Possibly. Absolutely. When John said this, the expression on his face meant the opposite. He sneered and continued, "This attack was clearly organized by the Mexican. But it was not his people who were really doing it, but the guerrillas. I think you've seen that, too. So, do you think that guy will easily throw his small manpower into the attack? If so, what is the point of these guerrillas here? If it were you, would you do that? ”
