An armed Humvee quickly rushed out of the evacuation area, causing a lot of confusion, the civilians did not know what was happening, only saw a military vehicle quickly leave, several tanks also drove to the perimeter, pointed their guns at the street, and thought that something big had happened, and they were already a little frightened, and the order that they had relied on the police and the army to maintain suddenly became out of control, which made Major Carter have to transfer some soldiers from the perimeter guard post to maintain order.

The Humvee, which had left to reconnoitre, approached the spotted crowd a few minutes later.

Stopping the car, turning off the engine, leaving a man in the car, the soldiers on reconnaissance duty cautiously approached each other through the rubble and buildings on both sides of the street.

"This is the reconnaissance group, we have reached the target area and are approaching each other." A non-commissioned officer whispered into the communicator, "The visibility here is still very low, but I can still see that those people are wearing normal clothes, and there is a high probability that they are civilians." No armed men have been found among them, nor have they been seen to have weapons on them. ”

"Observe more, don't make contact with them right away!" On the other end of the communicator, Major Carter reminded, "Don't act rashly until you can't determine the identity of the other person." ”

"Yes, sir." Having received the order, the soldiers of the reconnaissance group hid their figure even deeper. They were all veterans, some of them had even fought in the civil war, and they carried out Major Carter's orders well.

The crowd was getting closer and closer to the reconnaissance group, and they could see it more clearly by the street lamps that came and went around them, and the observation equipment they had brought with them.

This crowd includes young and old, men and women. All of them walked forward with bare hands and a staggering pace, looking tired.

But what made the non-commissioned officer who commanded the reconnaissance group feel that something was wrong was that these people were silent, and there was no conversation between them at all, just silently walking with their heads bowed. The atmosphere of the whole crowd was very quirky and eerie. The soldiers of the reconnaissance group couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

"What the hell! If I hadn't seen so many people and heard the footsteps, I would have seen a vision. One soldier whispered to his companion, "What the hell is wrong with these people?" Not at all popular? ”

"Who knows," replied his companion in a whisper, "I have never seen anything like it." During the previous civil war, I had seen refugees, even if they were in the dust, even if they were worried and afraid of war. Even those who are desperately hungry and exhausted are not as silent as these people are. What's more, there are many children inside, no matter what the situation, the children will not be as silent as adults, and they have not walked hundreds of kilometers. ”

"Who knows what's going on."

After observing for a while, and when the group got closer, finally. Someone else noticed something was wrong, and a soldier whispered over the radio that he exclaimed, "Why didn't they bring any luggage?" No one with luggage? Do they think they will be able to return home soon? ”

This sentence made everyone look more closely at the clothing and belongings of this group of people. Soon they made more discoveries, and the scouts' discoveries kept ringing through the communication channels.

"Look, some people are still wearing single clothes, but now it's winter, even if the Mediterranean is not so cold, you can't just wear that little bit of clothing, right? No matter how urgent it is. It's impossible to go out without even wearing a thicker coat, right? ”

"Hey, you see, these people really haven't brought any luggage, we should have sent a notice of this big transfer. Clothes, cash, food, these are all things that must be carried, and they don't have any of them, even the people behind them. What's going on? I can't understand it at all! ”

"Has anyone noticed? What are those people wearing on their heads? It's not very inconspicuous, I only see it through the reflection of the light, on everyone's head, even the children. ”

"I saw it too, but I didn't know what it was, and I never saw it."

"Send back the situation here, and send the video back with you." In the end, the non-commissioned officer who led the team decided, "I always feel wrong, don't touch them, let's retreat!" ”

"Then these people don't care?"

"Don't you think it's weird? Who knows what will happen after rash contact, so let's send the incident back here first, and see what the above decides. Everyone was ready to back off, careful not to alarm the men. ”

"Yes, sir."

After the decision of the non-commissioned officer to lead the team came out, the figures of all the soldiers disappeared into the night room.

A few minutes later, they reappeared where the car had been parked, and by this time, Major Carter's reply had arrived.

"In five minutes, two Mi-24s hoisting two Reapers, will arrive at you, and you will assist the crew members to set up a checkpoint at the street corner to stop and check the crowd. Those people were behaving strangely, and they were not allowed to approach the personnel transfer area casually. Major Carter said in the communication channel, "In addition to the people brought on the Mi-24, I will also send some more people to you, and when the time comes, Captain Cheney, who will lead the team on the plane, will be under the command of Captain Cheney." In short, you first find out what is going on with those people, and you also need to find out the reasons for the problems you find. ”

"Yes, sir."

Ending the communication with Major Carter, the non-commissioned officer said to his teammates, "Okay, guys, all move, we are asked to set up a checkpoint to stop those people, but I think you all know how weird those guys are, so I want you to set up more than just checkpoints, let's build a defensive position together." ”

"No problem, boss!" One of the largest soldiers laughed, "What to do, you can just say." ”

"Okay." Seeing that the others didn't object, the non-commissioned officer slapped his face, "With the speed at which those people move, it will take them seven to eight minutes to get here, so we may not have enough time." But the good thing is that the materials are readily available and are available everywhere. We piled up the debris of the building, the garbage bins, and all that stuff at the corner of the street, leaving a gap in the middle that was big enough for one person to pass through, with machine guns on both sides and snipers on the roofs in the back. We don't have much time, so let's work together. ”

Five minutes later, the sound of helicopter propellers could be heard in the sky, and two Mi-24s, each with a four-legged mechanical armor hanging from their bellies, appeared over the street.

At this time, this checkpoint at the level of a defensive position has also taken shape. The road had been blocked with large debris such as cement blocks, and two machine guns had been erected. A few soldiers were sweating and reinforcing the defenses, and they even cleared a landing field for the helicopters, even though it was just a level ground at the corner of the street, and only cleared the debris.

However, the two Mi-24s did not land, they just lowered the two Reaper mechs on the ground, and then lowered several soldiers in the cabin, and then the two helicopters turned and flew away.

"Che, I thought I could get air cover from a helicopter." Seeing the helicopter fly away, a soldier said to his companion with some regret.

Giving him a blank look, his companion said: "Don't dream, don't you see, in order to transport personnel and equipment, those two helicopters are not equipped with any weapons except for the guns in the nose?" Do you want helicopters to fight just by artillery? Even if they had to cover us, they would at least have to go back and rearm before they could come back. ”

"That's what I said......"

Regardless of what the soldiers said, Captain Cheney, who had been assigned to take command, handed over the formalities with the non-commissioned officer of the reconnaissance team, and began to direct everyone to continue to strengthen the fortifications at the street intersection and make the checkpoint more solid. For those civilians who behaved strangely, he had the same opinion as the non-commissioned officers of the reconnaissance team, and they were now much more numerous than before, and they were able to do these things more quickly.

So in addition to the previous two machine guns, Captain Cheney also had a Reaper mech drive directly into the gap that was left for passing, blocking the place. (To be continued......)
