The people in the truck reacted quickly after seeing the guide, only to see the truck door open and a person jumped out of the car. Then the light of the truck could vaguely show that the man was dressed in the same clothes as the locals, in short, similar to our guide, and the two men hugged each other after meeting each other, and then walked towards the truck.

After walking to the cab of the truck, he seemed to have a few words with the people in the car, and soon a person got out of the truck again. The man walked in our direction with the guide, who beckoned to us.

The old guy Younis whispered, "It should be this guy." ”

I nodded, looked at Said not far away, motioned for him to stay here and watch out, then I looked at the gardener and motioned for him to pay attention to what was ahead, and finally I beckoned to Lukovich to follow me, and we walked out of the woods with the old fellow.

"Balotov?" The old fellow looked at the man who had followed the guide and spoke.

The man looked at the old guy and stopped, "It's me." Mr. Connector. Sorry, I don't know what your name is, that's all I can call you. “

"Alek." The old guy said as he walked up to the man and stretched out his hand to shake the man's hand, "My name is Alec. “

I glanced at the old guy when I heard the name, because it seemed like a fake name I used before... Kazakh names?

"Okay. Mr. Alek. The man named Balotov looked at me and Lukovich, "Just the three of you?" “

The old guy smiled and said, "My people have always been very careful. So... Our people are still in the woods behind. “

"It's safe here." Barlotov looked a little dissatisfied, and said, "There are no Yankees here. Only some of the Afghan armed forces and the ranks of our Tajiks are there. So you don't have to be so careful, please all of you come out, if you don't mind we have to hurry back, there's still a lot to talk about, and it's still cold at night in this damn place. “

The old guy looked at me and nodded, "Let everyone else come out." ”

I turned around and waved in the direction of the woods, and a moment later the others slowly walked out of the woods with guns in hand.

Balotov looked behind us, then turned to the truck, "Get in." Go back with me. ”

We got into the car, and the truck took us into town, and after about 10 minutes the car slowed down and stopped in the camp after passing through security.

We got out of the car, and I saw that we were taken to what was like a makeshift assembly point, where there were a lot of supplies piled up on the ground, a lot of cars parked, and some people in military uniforms counting as if they were going to be transferred.

"Follow me." After getting out of the car, Balotov led us straight into a two-story building, and after entering, he arranged us and our guide into a large room on the first floor. Then I finally saw the light in the room, and in short, this guy looked neither exactly Asian nor exactly European, but at the same time he had the shadow of two races.

"This is where you spend the night tonight." He finished looking at the old fellow, "Mr. Alek, if you don't mind. We'll have to hurry up and talk. ”

"Of course." Younis nodded and walked over to the side of the room that followed him, and after a few words the old man beckoned to me and motioned for me to come over.

I quickly headed my backpack and the rifle I was carrying to the two of them. The man looked at me and said, "Tomorrow our convoy will depart, and the convoy will take you and your team south." He said, gesturing to the door, "You can see what's piled up outside." We're in charge of getting these things to the front line in the south. “

sp; "Where do you move?" I asked.

"If there are no other changes and plans, we will go to Kadiran in the province of Uruz in the south." Balotov tracted.

I looked at Lukovich, "Map! “

Lukovich quickly took the map, and after unfolding it, Balotov pointed to the place on the map near the Turkmen border, "This is where we are now. With that, he moved his finger to the middle of Afghanistan and nodded on a city, "This is it." “

I looked at the location on the map, "It's off... South.. It seems that there is still a long way to go. “

"Yes, but if we go in the direction of Kandahar after here, we are in greater danger. In fact, for the time being, as long as we enter the area south of Ghor province, we are likely to encounter the armed forces of the TLB. Therefore, if there is no special need in Kadilan, the supplies will be taken over by the Americans, and they will be responsible for transporting them to other places. ”

"So we'll have to go on our own with Ruth after that?" I asked, "And is it between the Yankees and the TLB?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Balotov nodded affirmatively.

Hearing him say this, I looked at the old fellow and said, "How do I get there when I get there?" “

The old guy shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this, let's talk about it after we get there." “

I nodded and put away the map, and Barotov said, "I'll drop you down before I get there." You can't go with us into the American camp, it's too dangerous. “

"Huh. What if we come down and meet a Yankee or a TLB? I asked.

"If it's a Yankee." The old guy looked at me and said, "You run." If it's TLB, see if you can communicate, if you can't fight, if you do, you can continue to run. “

"How do I communicate?" I asked.

Without waiting for the old fellow to speak, Balotov spoke: "Your guide will have a way. He also glanced at Ahmed, "He knows how to deal with him, whether it's with his mouth or with a gun or running, you just listen to him." ”

After listening to Barlotov's words, I looked at the old guy, who nodded at me, "He's right. Just listen to him. ”

After Balotov finished talking about the arrangement of my team, he looked at the old guy, "Tomorrow there will also be cars in the direction of Tajikistan, and one of them will come to pick you up, you go with the car." ”

"Is there any news from the person I'm looking for?" The old fellow asked in a low voice.

Balotov shook his head and said: "Not at the moment, there are a lot of people coming and going now, especially the Yankees, journalists, intelligence officers, technicians, soldiers, mercenaries. It's not that easy to find someone, it takes time. “

"How long will it take? Don't have eyebrows at all? “

"I only know that someone has arrived in Tajikistan, and I don't know anything else. Maybe the guy you're looking for has left there, and made it deep into Afghanistan somewhere. Balotov said.
