Chapter 144: Separate Actions
"Change your plans?" John sneered and said, "How can we have so much time to change it?" Now Pete: They're in a difficult situation. Either way, we have to go southeast. As he spoke, he looked at Megan and said, "If it was before, I wouldn't have taken any chances." But now different, their intention is likely to prevent us from joining up with the man who captured Hernandez, that is, with Pete. So we have to go southeast as we said before. After saying that, he looked at the Helmet mercenary beside him and said, "Give me the map." ”
Soon a map was handed to John, who turned on the reading lights on the car, called Aruas to his side, and after quickly determining his current location, he said, "Where are they now?" ”
Aruas looked at the map and pointed to a junction about three or four kilometers to the south, "They should be in this place." ”
"It's not far from us." John nodded, looked at the road to the southeast, and said, "Let's go all the way to the southeast, which is the best way to go?" ”
"The best way to go?" Aruas looked at the map and pointed to a path, "Crystal Avenue." ”
John looked at the path pointed out by Aruas, "It's a big road, isn't it?" ”
"Yes. It is not long to be built, and it is smooth and easy to walk. If you want the best way to go, this is the way. Aruas said.
John looked at the map, and it was clear that the road was not far from the area where the guerrillas were at the moment. It's not surprising, it's just a small town, after all. But the road does seem to be quite suitable, leading all the way to the southeast, with few major bends, and there are not many forks in the middle, only two. Only one of the forks in the road was slightly closer to where the guerrillas were at the moment.
John looked back and forth on the map, then turned to look at the Hermet mercenary who was on guard and said, "Eric! Eric! ”
With John's shout, a figure ran from the front of the line. Immediately after the man came to John's side, he said, "Sir, are you looking for me?" ”
John immediately beckoned to him to come to his side, then pointed to the map and said, "See this road called Crystal Avenue?" This is the path we are going to take. Your task now is to bring people to guard these two intersections for me. ”
The guy named Eric looked at the map and said, "Hold the intersection on both sides, but we don't have much manpower now." ”
"How many more do we have?" John asked.
"In addition to Colin and Pete, they didn't come back, there are also wounded and killed here, and now we have thirteen of them." Eric said, glancing at the back of the line and said, "But there are a dozen or so Colombians." ”
John nodded, and after a little thought, said, "I'll give you ten." Our own people must guard these two intersections before we pass through them. Do you understand? ”
"Understood." Eric nodded and said, "But if that's the case, what are you going to do here?" ”
"I've got three of them. Aren't there still Colombians there? John put away the map and said, "You are the ones who are going to really engage in a fierce battle with each other." So don't worry about us, get ready for action. ”
Eric said no more, and immediately went to gather his men and prepare to go. And just then, Aruas ran over and said, "Mr. John, my men have just told me that there are at least seventy or eighty people he has seen. And they're already coming here. Aruas said.
When John heard him say this, he immediately came to the Helmet mercenary who was operating the drone and said, "How is it?" Is the surrounding area still clean? ”
"Clean, they must have retreated before. It's just that now everyone is gathered together and is heading north. The man replied.
"Okay." John nodded and said, "Fly the drone southeast." Follow Eric them, and now you serve them. ”
"Understood!" After the man answered, he looked at Aruas and said, "Help me call the leader of the people that Miranda sent to us." I want to see him. ”
"Good. But shouldn't we leave here at once? Those damn guerrillas are coming. Aruas said nervously.
John smiled and said, "Do you think you can run away so easily?" Go for it. Call them in. Once called, you can go with Meghan and them first. ”
"Good. I'll go right away! Hearing that he could leave first, Aruas immediately turned around and ran out.
John, on the other hand, came to the car where Megan and the others were, opened the door, looked at Diego and Lance in the car, and said, "You guys have to get guns and bring enough ammunition." We don't have enough people right now. Of course it doesn't depend on you to do what we do, it's just that you may be more on your own in the future. ”
Meghan understood what he meant and said, "Aren't you going with us?" ”
"Nope." John shook his head and said, "You can't go this way." They shouldn't be aware of our plan of action at this point. Someone has to drag on here. I'm going to use the people Miranda provided, although these people have a grudge against the guerrillas, and they won't have a problem dealing with the guerrillas, but someone has to accompany them, otherwise we'll all be gone, and no one will continue to fight. So I had to stay, first, to stabilize them, and second, to tell them what to do with those bastards. ”
"But..." Meghan was about to say more, but John immediately raised his hand and interrupted, "It's nothing." The rest of my men will work with you to protect you. I've already arranged for people to leave ahead of you. So I followed the path I had designated and headed southeast. If the other party is still chasing you after you after you out of the city, hide in the woods first. We have night vision devices, and when we go into woods or places with more difficult terrain, they won't have a good way to do anything with us. ”
Megan didn't say anything more, but after Eric and the others set off, Meghan and the others also set off under the protection of the few remaining Helmet mercenaries. And as soon as they left, Aruas ran with a man.
When the man saw John, he immediately said, "Mr. John," without being introduced by Aruas. My name is Quintero. After you rescued Mr. Balcas, I fought with your men against the guerrillas. ”
When John heard this, he couldn't help but look at the man again. I saw that this person was about thirty years old, and he didn't have much impression in his memory. But it's not surprising that the rescue of Balcas was seven or eight years ago. At that time, this guy should have been in his twenties and still very young, so it was normal for him not to have an impression. However, this somewhat made John have a certain affection and trust for this person. I saw him smile and said, "I didn't expect to meet my former comrades-in-arms today." That's easy to do. He said and glanced at Arruas and said, "Let's go." Let your people follow you, and you yourself with a gun. Anything can happen in a moment. ”
