Chapter 67: Fooled
After about half a minute, the laptop finally entered the system with some difficulty. Judging by the sound of the notebook, it is estimated that the machine will not last long. Because the hard disk is constantly making abnormal noises, the computer seems to crash every time it makes a continuous abnormal noise, and you have to wait for a while before it can move.
Pete still breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the laptop enter the system. He slowly lowered the laptop onto the table, and instead quickly loaded the memory card into the card reader and plugged it into the USB port on the side of the notebook. After a few moments, Pete finally saw the contents.
Is this a list? When he actually saw the contents, Pete didn't feel much excitement. After all, these have nothing to do with me, but judging from everyone's introduction, I can guess that these people should be some sleepers. And it seems to contain several people, in addition to the people who were developed by Eric or the Americans, there are also information about the spies of the Georgians and the intelligence agents of the Russians.
Seeing this, Pete couldn't help but look at Eric again, and couldn't help but admire this guy a little in his heart. Because apparently this guy has put a lot of thought and time into this place. But why did this guy think to take this information out at this time? Isn't that too risky? Could it be that it was decided on an ad hoc basis because of something that had to be forced?
Pete turned his head and took a quick look at it again, now was not the time to think about the useless stuff. This thing in front of you obviously has a good value, and this is the most important thing, and this information must be left behind. But how?
Simply taking the card reader away obviously doesn't work, that's simply the stupidest way to go. It can only be copied, and only reproduction can be unaware. But where in this hellish place can there be a memory card or USB drive that can be used to copy these things? Do you use your brain to memorize?
Just as Pete was thinking of a way, on the other side of the mountain. John's mercenaries had repelled the Russians who were trying to stop them in their retreat. The exchange of fire was fierce but the battle was not difficult, and John, sensing that the Russians were not determined, relented after a burst of heavy fire, and soon after, when he threw in more men and began to outflank them, they began to retreat on their own initiative. The Russians on other fronts did not catch up, especially the Russians on the hillside, who ran away after they had transferred their men one after another. This made John hesitate again, he felt that he might have been fooled or misjudged the intentions of the Russians, and maybe they had no intention of fighting him here at all. They probably have the same intention as themselves, which is to get out of here with minimal damage. Otherwise, they should not have been so weak after retreating with all their might, this is not the Russians in his impression, you must know that he went to Chechnya a few years ago, fought with the Russians, and went twice. So he still knows what kind of style and virtue the Russians are.
However, he did not immediately change his strategy, not only because he should not be fickle as a commander, but also because he did need to. The key is that he needs to be calm for a while, and after calming down, he needs to look at the other party's actions before he can make a judgment. If the other party really wants to withdraw, then it is best that he will not stop him, and he can also devote himself to the search for Eric and Pete around here. If not, then see what exactly they want to do. If you just want to drive yourself away and let them look for Eric here, then you will never agree. At that time, he will not only have to continue to deal with the other party, but also continue to mobilize men, although there are not many people who can be mobilized at the moment, but here, the short and fierce battle between small forces is still very confident to him, and he is also extremely confident in the group of people under him.
So John didn't give any instructions, but just followed the procession quickly southwest while paying more attention to the Russians' every move.
On the Russians' side, the squad codenamed Lynx had just arrived and had brought the news that there was a group of Ossetian militia on their way behind them. Ashraf was quite happy with the news. It's not that he has more fighters, but from a combat standpoint, Ashraf would rather not have them. In his opinion, the real role of these people is to clean up the battlefield, rescue their wounded and carry corpses, and even help the Yankee mercenaries to find a way to search for targets or targets under the cliff after they are scared back.
After watching the Yankees quickly retreat and disengage, Ashraf was just as unreassuring as John. Instead of withdrawing the mongoose squad, he had them continue to monitor the Yankees, while the lynx squad went to the hillside to pick up Chinnikov's raccoons and weasels squad.
When Chinnikov was seen, Ashraf did not lash out as others expected. Instead, he looked at Chinnikov, who looked very embarrassed and guilty, and said, "Are you sure that the target has fallen off that cliff?" ”
"Sure." Chennikov replied in a low voice.
Ashraf took the jug and poured himself with water, and then said, "Have you found a place or a way to go down?" ”
"Also... Not yet. Chinnikov looked at Ashraf with some weakness and said, "We didn't find it." Maybe we'll have to hang people off the cliff. However, I am worried that the Yankee mercenary next to the target is not dead, and the shot that the weasel was about to kill him before actually hit the target, so it is likely that the target is dead now, and the mercenary is still alive. So... ”
"So you don't think there's any need to go down, do you?" Ashraf said with a look of displeasure.
"No... I mean, that same American is waiting down there for rescue. So we can't just go down, or we're likely to be shot coldly by him. Chinnikov said.
"Hmph. Rescue? Ashraf snorted coldly and said, "If you could have used your brain to think more before, you wouldn't be standing in front of me with such a pitiful look now!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go and find it." Don't worry he'll hide underneath. If it were you, would you just wait and stay still? Your mission is to protect the target, aren't you afraid that the last person waiting for the other party will come? So I'm sure he must have left there as long as he could go. ”
