At the moment, the yard is already a mess. In addition to several figures lying on the ground, there were two mortars that had fallen to the ground. Pete didn't stop after looking around, and directly contacted Bandino to inform him that he had succeeded here. In fact, when Pete attacked with an M203 grenade, Donovan was already in action. He knew that this man named Pete would succeed, and although he couldn't tell why he was so sure at the time, he just thought so.

As Donovan rallied his men to break east, Pete quickly retreated from the courtyard. At this moment, the armed men of the village have surrounded them more and more. So he can't stay here for long, he has to leave quickly.

But just as they were back at their starting point, the armed men of the village had already come out of the village with the intention of outflanking Pete and them.

Pete didn't and didn't dare to fight, he didn't want to be the one to be rescued again. So, after judging the opponent's attack intention, he quickly withdrew to the southeast corner. At this moment, his mission has been mostly completed, as long as he and Donovan's people get together and let Donovan's people get ammunition supplies, judging from the experience of fighting with these militants in the past, it is difficult for those people to do anything, otherwise they would not have been able to cause too much damage to Donovan and them for so long.

And it turned out that when Pete saw Donovan and the others, only five of them were injured, three of whom were slightly more serious.

Donovan took a closer look at the corporal after seeing Pete, he couldn't see clearly in the dark, and although he was wearing night vision equipment, the thing looked at a human face like he had seen a zombie. However, from Pete's report, it can be heard that Pete is very calm and confident at the moment.

The militants of the village did not give up at first, they chased out in the direction of Donovan's breakthrough. But as soon as he left the village, he was hit head-on. The marines, who had been resupplied with ammunition, fired a saturation salvo at the guys under the command of Donovan. The first to run out in pursuit were almost non-existent, and all of them were beaten into a sieve.

After learning the lesson, the whole situation changed suddenly. Perhaps knowing that since their side did not trap the other side, they had little chance at the moment, so these militants began to retreat and voluntarily disengaged from contact. The exchange of fire quickly subsided, and although there was still gunfire, it was mostly inaccurate fire.

Donovan was ordered to return, and the way back was much easier. Not only was there nothing to hinder, but it also converged with Pete's platoon. So the two platoons returned to the station smoothly.

That night, Donovan didn't make any more contact with Pete, because there was still a lot of work ahead of him. He was not an ordinary soldier, but the implementer and commander of the operation. Obviously, the results of this mission, especially the process, were not satisfactory, although they killed and injured a large number of militants, even more than the cumulative results of more than half a year, but they were seriously out of the original plan, and even at a certain point made people feel that they were about to lose control. So he needs to report, or explain better.

No one knows what Donovan said at the end of the night, but it didn't work out well. After that, he never got another opportunity like this, let alone a promotion. In a sense, Donovan was left on the cold bench. Otherwise, in the end, Donovan would not have chosen to go home and join Hermet.

But perhaps it was this that gave him the opportunity to have more contact with an ordinary corporal like Pete. Because of the experience of fighting side by side in difficult circumstances twice, the two quickly became acquainted.

During the chat, Donovan learned that Pete had no previous military experience, and that he was an ordinary student who had never even touched a gun. This made Donovan look up to Pete even more, because although the whole mission had dealt a heavy blow to his career before, it was precisely in this way that he carefully understood everything that happened that day, and as a result, in his opinion, Pete was the best performer in the entire mission. His series of reactions and decisions in support made Donovan feel like a well-trained veteran with excellent mental qualities and combat experience.

But what Donovan saw and what he learned was otherwise. Pete was just an ordinary Marine, having become a Marine through a policy of naturalization that began after 911. So what does his performance say? Donovan had to reluctantly admit that there are certain people in this world who have certain talents, as long as they give him proper training and a suitable stage, they can be a blockbuster. And Pete is undoubtedly such a lucky one in his opinion. This made Donovan very envious and even a little jealous, but in any case, Pete made a very good impression on Donovan, which is the fundamental reason why Pete was recommended to Helmet Security and recruited Pete. And Pete's nickname "master" was also shouted by Donovan at that time.

Donovan looked at the people around him after entering the elevator and whispered, "Originally, I wanted to recommend you to Force recon." But.. He shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips, looking helpless, before saying in a lower voice, "Maybe they don't really trust you." ”

Pete shook his head lightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. You know why I came all the way to be a soldier. ”

"Yes. Nothing really. It's not where you end, maybe it's just the beginning? Donovan nodded, "Hopefully you've got what you wanted." ”

Pete nodded and said no more. Donovan continued: "But it's different here. Although it often feels like an intelligence agency, it can be more suitable for people to play to their strengths, and there are not so many rules and regulations to restrict. It's a lot better than where we've been. ”

As he spoke, the elevator doors opened, and Donovan walked out of the elevator with Pete. "This is the third tier, which is mainly for us field personnel. For us, it's a staging place. Everyone is here to temporarily assemble and stand by, and then accept the task and arrangement. Donovan said, pointing to the ceiling, and suddenly lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious: "The fourth floor is the most mysterious place that ordinary people can't go." Intelligence. It's the same with the fifth floor, the reference room. Generally, they don't let people in. ”

Pete was amused by Donovan's appearance and laughed, "What about the top?" ”

"Again? That's management. More secrets, even more inquisitive. Dono said.

"So we're at the bottom? What is the second floor? Pete asked.

"Logistics, warehouses. There are no special restrictions on this place. It's also the place where we deal with the most. Donovan came to a door, and instead of opening it, he pointed to the sign on the door, "009." Ninth group. He twisted the doorknob as he spoke, and as he pushed the door open, he added, "Welcome to the Man-Eating Shark Squad." ”
