Chapter Ninety-Nine: Breaking Promises

"How does this look like you're in a tight fight?" Pete looked at the screen and muttered something in a low voice.

John heard Pete's words, and although he didn't gnaw, he thought the same thing in his heart as Pete. It was already late at night, and so many armed men were not resting and sleeping, and they were all standing on the road, obviously waiting for something, or rather, waiting for their gang to appear. Could this be that the other party had expected that his gang would act at night, so he simply set up a position and waited for himself to come and connect with the people to be rescued?

"These seem to be Abkhazians." Colin said as he took control of the drone.

John sneered and said, "It's even more terrible if you don't see the Russians." They don't count on or pin their hopes on others. There must be Russians here, and if they are not found, it can only be said that they are hiding. Waiting for the opportunity to give us a fatal blow. ”

Pete looked away from the screen and looked at John, "So where are they hiding?" This is just a small town, where can you hide? And they shouldn't know where the people we're trying to save are in the city, right? Does a casual ambush in one place really work? ”

John shook his head and said, "Actually, you have already said the reason. It's because it's a small town that they don't have to deliberately choose a place to hide. After all, there are so many Abkhazians here, and even if they are useless, it will always be fine to drag on for a while. That way they have plenty of time to do something about us. ”

As John spoke, a yard appeared on the screen on the drone's controller, with several cars parked in the yard and what looked like scrap parts or car parts stacked in the corner.

"Looks like this is it." Colin said as he hovered the drone over the yard.

John immediately took a closer look at the screen and, after making a closer look, said, "Probably this is it." It seems that the lights are still on in the house of this repair shop? ”

"It's a light on." Colin immediately affirmed.

"Try to contact them. Let's see if we can get in touch with them now. John said.

Colin nodded, and immediately took out a satellite phone from his backpack, but after trying to contact him a few times, he couldn't get in touch, so he could only shake his head helplessly at John.

John looked at Colin helplessly, but he sighed slightly and then said, "Look around." He pointed to the screen and said, "See if there are patrols and guards around." ”

Colin immediately took control of the drone to the top of the road outside the garage and continued to fly north. After about 100 meters of flight, two armed men walking together were seen at the junction towards the east. After a while, another car with armed men drove in the direction of the repair shop.

"Looks like even if we sneak here, it's going to be hard to get them out without alerting anyone." John said with some disappointment.

Pete looked at the screen and said, "It doesn't matter if we alarm them, as long as we can get out of the woods quickly I don't think it's a big problem." ”

John shook his head slightly and said, "That's exactly the problem. If they are here to wait for us, the first thing they will do when we are found out is to determine where we came from, based on where we are. Then it was to send men to cut us off. After all, they have an absolute advantage in manpower, so it's easy and effective, at least for me to do. In other words, it will be difficult for us to get back into the woods. ”

"So what to do? What else do we think? Pete thought it was impossible to think of any other way, but he asked anyway.

John looked away from the screen and looked in the direction of the city, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "We don't have time here to figure out how to enter the city, how to evacuate, or even to find out where the Russians are here. According to the information provided by the bastards of the Takna Intelligence Service, it is likely that the Russians will enter Abkhazia in a big way after dawn, and then cross the border into Georgia with the Abkhazians. What's more, the presence of Russian airborne troops in the sequence of attacks suggests that at the same time as or even before crossing the border, these airborne troops were likely to be dropped into Georgian territory, that is, on some important traffic arteries or cities behind us. We can't wait until then to think about how to get out of here. So we're going to use the easiest way to deal with them. ”

"The easiest way?" Pete asked, puzzled.

John nodded and looked at Colin and said, "Take the drone back." We went back and prepared for action. ”

After Colin answered, John said to Pete, "We'll have to make a bet with each other." Let's see if they'll put their real men into the fight to cut us off after we act, as I thought. If they're like me say, then we shouldn't have much of a problem retreating into the woods. With that, John hurried to the entrance, and after glancing down, quickly descended the stairs and left the roof.

About half an hour later, John returned to the staging area in the woods with Pete, Colin and the others. After giving a brief briefing on the situation, John began to lay out his plan of action.

John looked at Colin and Pete first, and they looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I may have broken my promise." Before, I said that you only need to be a fast reaction team, responsible for receiving and covering tasks. But now it seems that it will not work, because my plan or my gamble needs more manpower for us to resist the manpower of the other side who may cut us off. So I want the five of you to come with me to pick up the people who are hiding in the repair shop. ”

John's words made Colin and Pete and the others look at each other, obviously no one wants to continue fighting, especially Pete, he is even more unwilling, he is thinking more at the moment to bring back the stolen information alive, rather than dying in this inexplicable place that he has never heard of. But now that John has said this, it is obviously difficult for him to refuse, and he has to say that this is also an opportunity, a rare opportunity for himself to perform well. Rather than bringing out that completely irrelevant or even indisciplined information, what he was doing now was what he really needed to do. So thinking of this, Pete didn't hesitate any longer, he looked at John and nodded, "I'm fine." I came here to save people. ”
