After returning to the destination, Coleman eagerly told Ivan and Semolov what we had discussed on the way back. The reaction of the two men to Coleman's concerns was similar to what I expected, that is, they were still very determined to evacuate according to the evacuation plan that had been made, at least not to change the plan until the people who met us did not feel that it was wrong.

And the person who answered us didn't get the news until eight o'clock in the evening. Ivan woke us up after a long phone call.

In fact, there is no need for him to call, everyone is awake, who can sleep so deeply without heart and lungs at this moment and don't know how to wake up?

Except for Karachev, who was on guard, the rest of my group formed a circle in the dark, and they all watched Ivan wait for him to speak.

Ivan sighed before he could speak, and this breath made his heart chill before he could open his mouth. Ivan apparently realized that he should not have done this, and he immediately spoke: "The person who answered us has already arrived outside the city, and it is on the outskirts of the northern part of the city, not far from us. ”

Hearing Ivan say this, although I couldn't see the expressions of the people around me clearly, the atmosphere was slightly better than after Ivan sighed. Ivan paused for a moment and then continued, "The person who answered us told me that it was just like Coleman said. It was strictly checked outside the city. Especially in the south and east of the city. ”

"So they went around to the north of the city? Ready to pick us up from here in the north of the city? Semolov asked.

Before Ivan could speak, Coleman said, "Could this be a trap?" Deliberately relaxing on one side, but it's actually a pocket? ”

Coleman's words reminded me of the passage in ancient warfare. During the siege, the city was deliberately surrounded by three missing one. . . The other party thought that he had succeeded in breaking through, but who knew that he didn't run far before he fell into the encirclement。。。。。

Just after Coleman's words made the atmosphere tense again, Ivan spoke: "Probably not. Upon arriving, they immediately scouted the surroundings and found nothing out of the ordinary, the checkpoint was there, but they didn't intend to pass through there. ”

"How many people came?" Semolov asked.

"Four people, three cars. Don't use our car, so as not to trouble. They will send two cars to pick us up. Ivan said.

"Are they coming over now?" Semolov then asked.

"Nope. I asked them to wait for my news. I'd like to consult with you before I let them know. “

This answer seemed to satisfy Semolov, and after answering in the dark, there was no problem.

I thought for a moment and said, "Although the person who answered us has arrived, I still want to say that Vastich is not an easy guy to deal with... Can we get out and leave so easily? “

"What are you trying to express?" "Do you want to say that if it's too easy, there will be a problem?" ”

"Don't forget what happened yesterday in Ukraine. Do you think Vastich is an easily fooled person? Not only is he not easy to fool, but he is also a very good person to confuse others, we have already been fooled twice, we can't have a third time, right? I asked.

"But this guy doesn't have command right now, does he? He may now have ten staff officers who speak and no one listens. If those guys had listened to him, we'd be done last night, wouldn't we? Semolov said.

"Okay... What you say is the truth. But I think now that disobedient Yankee has lost his command. And that guy named Reed should take Vastich's opinion seriously, even if it were me or you, wouldn't you? I asked.

"But now the people who answered us have already scouted." Ivan said, "No big problem. We should now give more thought to answering the suggestions of our people. After all, they saw what was out there with their own eyes, and we were just making inferences.

”

"Okay then. Since both of you say so, I'm okay with that, but I have to warn that we can't let our guard down, even when we get to Hungary. I said.

"I know that." Semolov said, "I'll always be careful. ”

"So can I call the person who picked us up and ask them to come?" Ivan asked.

"Don't let them come here directly, let them wait for us outside the factory. We'll go check on them when they arrive, and if it's okay, we'll do it together. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Semolov on the side agreed: "I approve of the Gypsies' approach. “

"No problem. Just do as you say. Ivan said and dialed the phone.

After some exchange, Ivan hung up, "Pack your things." They will arrive soon. ”

I nodded and looked at Kurch and Semolov, "The three of us plus Karachev each have a rifle. The others each carried pistols and submachine guns. If the person who comes is not right, we will do it. ”

"No problem." Semolov nodded, "But I think you're being too careful?" ”

"Be careful." Ivan said, "Just do as he says." “

About fifteen minutes later, Ivan's phone rang. Ivan hung up after a short couple of words after connecting. He looked at me and said, "They've arrived." “

I looked at Kurchi, "You and I go over and have a look." The others don't rush to move yet. I'll shoot if there's a situation, and when I hear the gunshots, I think you know what to do. ”

"Yes. The leader of the people who came was called Sivakov, and the code words for the joint were "Germans" and "yes, in Vienna". When you meet them, they'll call you a German. After matching the code, just go straight to Sivakov. Ivan said.

So Kurchi and I quickly came to the entrance to the abandoned factory area under the cover of darkness. Upon approaching, I quickly saw two cars parked outside, one of which looked like a business vehicle. The car did not turn off, but the lights were off, and a person sitting in the cab could be faintly seen. From a simple observation, there is nothing special about it, and the other party is indeed waiting for us.

Kurch looked there and whispered, "What to do?" Just go over? “

"Don't be in a hurry here. Watch carefully. I'll go first. If there is a situation, shoot me to cover me. I said.

"Understood!"

I walked out slowly, and after a few moments, the other party found me, and the headlights of the car came on and shone directly on me. Then someone started shouting at me.

"Hey! Germans! ”

"Yes, in Vienna." After I switched the code, the headlights went out, and when the light dimmed, I noticed that the person standing outside the car had put away his gun.

"Which one is Sivakov?"
