I moved a little towards the side of the hill and then glanced down. I saw a group of people carrying weapons in the mountain road below. They didn't look like they were on the road, as their weapons were held in their hands rather than on their backs, indicating that they were ready to fight at any time.

I counted about a dozen of them, no more than fifteen. The armament is ordinary, AK-47 rifles. I shrank back and whispered, "This group of people should be chasing us." “

"Not bad." Walker nodded, "Should we get out of here right now?" “

I immediately returned to Ashraf and whispered, "Here's a team of TLB forces down there." Looks like it's coming after us. We'd better get out of here now, and choose some hidden path that will get out of here quickly. “

Ashraf quickly translated my words to Sadat and the three of them, both of whom looked nervous and even frightened when they heard the TLB forces coming after them. I immediately spoke: "Tell them, reassure them that if they are discovered, the two Yankees and I will cover for the few of you to go first." “

After hearing this, the three of them seemed a lot more relieved. After Sadat and the guide looked at each other, the guide pointed to the other side of the hill and said a few words.

Ashraf immediately said: "He said that if the gang came from below, then we had better go down from the side he was pointing to." Because he said that if he continued to walk on it, there was nothing to hide on this mountain, and it was not far enough away that it was likely to be discovered. ”

"Ask him if these people follow the path below, will we be able to stagger them quickly? If you can't stagger it, everyone goes in one direction. Then the rest of us will have to be very difficult and dangerous. I said.

After listening to Achraf's translation, the guide quickly gestured and said a few words, and Ashraf said quickly: "He said that if you go down, you should be able to stagger with the other party." But he can't guarantee that they won't meet again, after all, if they are chasing Pakistan, we are in the same direction as them. ”

"Hey! Have you finished discussing it? Isn't it time for us to go? Walker whispered.

I nodded at Walker and said, "Almost." I looked at the guide and said, "Just do as you say." Let's get out of here first. “

After Ashraf had translated, the guide, Sadat, and Sadat's son quickly carried their belongings to the other side of the mountain. I took a quick look down and the group below us was already walking away along the road.

I quickly stepped back, followed Ashraf and the others on the top of the hill for a while, and then began to descend on the other side of the mountain. The road down was a lot steeper than the one we had walked before, but we didn't care much about it at the moment, and we each left the hill with a bit of slippery, and then we ran quickly to another hill.

We kept going until the sun went down. I was hesitant to make the overnight trip. But when the idea was told to our guide through Ashraf, he immediately rejected it.

His reasoning was that it would be very difficult to travel overnight on such a mountain road, and in fact, it would be dangerous to walk all night without being able to get far. And at the same time, it takes more physical energy, so when you really need to go all out, you may have to waste time and take repeated rests. Instead of this, it is better to rest normally at night, but you can walk a little later, but you must stop and rest after you can't see the road at all.

I told him through Ashraf what if the people at the TLB traveled overnight without resting? Isn't that dangerous for us? When the guide heard me say this, he immediately shook his head and said, "The TLB gang are also human." If they travel overnight, despite their hard work, then they are likely to have a limited time to hunt down, because they will not be able to support this state for long, and then they will give up. In other words, if the time comes, whether they are found or not, they will end up and turn to rest and leave.

All right. The guide's words undoubtedly convinced me. Of course, I was convinced not only because of what he said, but also because I was tired, I wasn't fully recovered, and my fitness was still very problematic. I didn't want to travel overnight, I knew all too well what it was like. And it's not just me, Walker and Langdon can't march too hard in terms of their condition, not to mention that they haven't been well rested before, and even now these two guys have their own injuries, and they are also exhausted.

So we walked a little more after the sun went down and quickly found a place to stop, this time we stopped halfway up the mountain, because we missed the best time to camp, so the place was not very ideal, but fortunately there were some trees growing around to provide us with shelter from the wind.

After a stop, we had a quick discredited dinner. Then, just like last night, Walker and Langdon and I took turns on the sentry. Others go to bed and don't have to worry about anything, of course, they are tasked with carrying all the supplies during the day, which is equivalent to everyone doing their part.

This time I was placed in the last of the three, that is, when it was my turn, I no longer had a chance to sleep, and I had to start again when everyone woke up.

But at three or four o'clock in the morning, just as I was starting to get sleepy, all of a sudden I faintly heard movement on the hillside below us. I immediately pricked up my ears and listened carefully, and when I was sure that it was not because I was sleepy that I had misheard the noise caused by the mountain wind blowing through the woods, I immediately woke up the nearest Walker.

Walker quickly got to his feet, and when he woke up, without me saying anything, he picked up the gun next to him and listened carefully to the movements around him, and after listening for a moment he reached out and pushed Langdon to wake up.

I clenched the gun in my hand and listened carefully. The sounds just now were like the sound of someone stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest, the other party's footsteps were very slow, the sound came and went, and it sounded like more than one person, because of the stop-and-go, the sound made by the other party seemed to be a little far away, and sometimes it was relatively dense. But how many people can't hear exactly.

The noise died down after a few moments, but before a moment a slight voice came. As soon as I heard this, I moved around and quickly shook Ashraf awake, and I even covered his mouth with one hand when I woke up to prevent him from making a sound.

"Shhhh It's me, it's me. Don't make a noise ... Don't make a sound. I said as I slowly removed the hand covering his mouth. At that moment, another person spoke from below, followed by two voices who seemed to be chatting without a word.

Operation Red Wings. Four seals came back. Failed intelligence, and still did not contact the pre-arranged rapid response team in time after being discovered to have exchanged fire. resulting in being besieged by more than a hundred TLB forces...
