Chapter 61: The Cliff
Seeing such a scene, Chinnikov's heart suddenly cooled, and after he watched it back and forth twice, he didn't make a sound, but still followed a person behind him: "Do you want to go down and have a look?" They must have rolled down the hillside. ”
"Of course I do!" Chinnikov, who was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, waited angrily for his subordinates to take a look, and after speaking, he took a deep breath and said to the person who was in charge of communication: "Contact the moose, report to him, the target fell off the cliff... Hillside.... Lost. We prepared to go down the hill to search. Please ask for his approval. ”
Ashraf, who was directing the battle at the bottom of the hill, received a report from Chinnikov, which made him feel better when he had just received the arrival of another team, codenamed "Meerkat ", and then fell to the bottom. He silently closed his eyes, rubbed his face in annoyance, and said, "Then hurry up!" Tell him that my patience is limited, and that if he doesn't let me see the man or his body this time, he's going to get out of here and go home. Just tell him that you can't change a word! ”
Receiving Ashraf's instructions, Chinnikov naturally did not dare to slack off. To him, Ashraf is not usually a hot-tempered boss, and Achraf can say such things to show that he is really in a hurry. So, after a quick look at the terrain, Chinnikov found a slightly gentler spot and slowly slid down the hillside.
Just as Chinnikov and his men continued to try to hunt down Eric, Donovan met John. John expected that the Maneating Shark Squad might be in trouble, but when he met Donovan and his team, John was surprised by their tragic situation. At this moment, everyone in the man-eating shark team was injured, and two of them were not lightly injured, especially the elderly one who had completely lost consciousness and had an ugly face. There were two less people in the squad, and neither Eric nor Steve saw the two people they were protecting.
This made John, who had planned to leave as soon as he received someone, immediately changed his mind, and he asked the others to set up defenses first, and then came to Donovan's side and said, "Big Bird, are these people left?" I mean it's all here? Are Eric and Steve both dead? ”
"Eric?" Donovan suddenly realized the problem when he heard John ask this, and he immediately looked around and said, "I asked Pete to run first with Eric, didn't you see them?" Go west. You should see them before you see us. ”
"To the west?" John looked to the west side, "We only saw Russians there. He said as if something had come suddenly, and immediately continued: "The Russians on the hillside are not going to ambush and intercept you, but to pursue Eric?" ”
"What Russians on the hillside?" Although Donovan has been at war with the other party, he has no extra energy or no longer cares about paying attention to the other party's every move. So after hearing John's words, he didn't figure out where the Russians were referring for a while.
However, without Donovan's answer, John used his own experience combined with the situation here to think about the scenario of Eric and Pete escaping. He turned to Donovan and said, "It was Pete who ran up that hill with Eric and Steve. And now the Russians on that hillside have bypassed you and caught up with them. But now it seems that they have not succeeded, otherwise they would have quickly evacuated by now. ”
When Donovan heard John say this, he immediately looked at the hillside on the west side, and at this moment the people brought by John were trying their best to suppress the people on the hillside, and the Russians on it were hiding very well, and there was no chance to counterattack for a while. But he suddenly realized a problem, and that was Steve, Pete with Eric was good, but Steve... He immediately looked over to Ochoa, who was not far from him, and didn't see Steve after looking back and forth. So he withdrew his gaze and asked Ochoa directly, "Chili!" What about Steve? ”
"Steve?" Ochoa was equally stunned when she heard the name. He struggled to recall the scene, but he couldn't remember what state Steve was in at that time. But just as he was trying to remember, Ellie on the side spoke, "Didn't he get shot?" ”
"Shot?" Ochoa glanced at Alley and shook her head, "I really can't remember. ”
"Did he get shot and die or did he lose it?" Donovan became anxious when he saw that Ochoa and Avery were unsure.
John, who was on the side, saw their appearance and immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay." For now, he's probably dead. That said, is it true that Pete only ran away with Eric? ”
"Yes. Because Steve couldn't run along. He was injured in Tskhinvali, and we brought it all the way. Donovan said immediately.
"Okay." John nodded, and immediately turned his head to look at the man not far away: "Tell them, change the plan, now we have to drive the Russians out of the west." Fast! ”
By the time John organized an attack on the Russians and attempted to climb the ridge to find Pete and Eric, the two men had already descended the slope on the other side of the ridge. This journey can be said to be extremely tragic. The two of them were in a state of complete loss of control, rolling faster and faster, and any obstacles encountered in the middle were struck by force, so not to mention all kinds of large and small abrasions, even the scars caused by the impact everywhere were already countless.
And this is not the most terrifying, after rolling down the hill, they rushed down a cliff because of their speed. Fortunately, the cliff was not high, and there were dense branches and foliage below that played a great role in buffering, so the two did not make a hard landing from the cliff, but slowly fell to the ground under the pull of the branches and trunks.
But despite this, Pete didn't get up for a long time after he landed. Not to mention the dizziness, even the impact and fall made it difficult for me to recover for a while, and the strange pain all over my body made my muscles a little difficult to coordinate.
And Eric is completely unconscious at the moment. He was lying on the grass with his body down, his left arm covered with blood, and his head and face were scarred, some of which were still bleeding out. And the black bag on his body is still on his back, looking up and down, maybe that black bag is the best preserved part of Eric's body.
