Another reason is that you can vaguely see the flashing lights in front of you when you look forward from here. This not only shows that you are very close to the city, but also means that you have reached the edge of the woods. If you move forward further, you will inevitably increase the possibility of being discovered by the other party.

After stopping, John did not arrange the operation task immediately. Instead, after a brief rest, he asked his two teams to stand by on standby. He led Colin, Pitt and others to continue to investigate. After walking about four or five hundred meters forward, they arrived at the edge of the woods and found a road about thirty meters away from the woods.

Instead of walking out of the woods immediately, John stepped back and squatted down and said, "Colin, contact the people behind to ask them where we are from the target."

Colin agreed and immediately started contacting the radio station he carried with him. Pete knew that although this operation felt a little hasty, it might be because they suffered a lot after underestimating the enemy before. At this moment, their preparations were obviously much more sufficient.

Almost two minutes later, the person on standby behind heard news. Colin immediately turned to John and said, "Cain reported that according to the positioning device we carried, the repair shop was on the northwest side of our city, about three kilometers away, and you can reach the nearer the repair shop along the road in front of you."

John nodded when he heard Colin's report and said, "Go to the roadside first." After that, he got up and walked out of the woods and walked towards the highway.

After approaching the roadside, John signaled that everyone would stop. It was very quiet, and there were no street lights on the road, as if it was still some distance from the city or where there were people. But just as John was about to cross the road and continue to walk towards the city, the light suddenly flashed from the northwest of the road, and then a sound of a car engine came.

John immediately signaled everyone to retreat. After quickly retreating to the woods, the car drove slowly all the way and drove from where John and the others were just about to pass the road.

Through the night vision device, we can see that the car is a pickup truck, standing in the cargo box were three or four people wearing steel helmets and carrying rifles. Obviously, it was obvious that they were patrolling here at this time.

After watching the car go away, John smiled softly and said, "It seems that they are in a good mood tonight. There are still people talking and laughing along the way."

Pete looked at the direction where Pika went away and said, "Does that mean the defense here is not tight?"

"You can't be careless." John shook his head and said, "These people are Abkhazi people from the language they speak. They are not our main opponents tonight. What is really difficult to deal with may be in the city. In short, be careful of everything." After saying that, after looking around, he leaned towards the side of the road again.

This time they passed the road directly and came to the other side of the road. After looking back and forth, John said, "There should be their checkout nearby here. They can't just let such a car wander here. If that happens, no one will come to save the people in this car, and no one will know if they die." After that, he looked at Colin and said, "Colin, record, the place we are currently staying is code-named Athens."

While Colin responded, John looked to the west and said, "Continue to follow the road. We have to determine the situation along the road."

Pete, Colin and others responded and stood up and walked west with John. About a kilometer later, they could see the lights in the direction of their journey and vaguely hear the sound of someone talking.

John slowed down and leaned towards it. After about two or three hundred meters away, John asked everyone to stop, and he took out his telescope and looked forward.

There is an intersection in front of it. There is a street light that is not bright or even dim on both sides of the intersection. With the light, you can see two cars parked at the intersection. Several figures are standing on both sides of the car. They are chatting and smoking, and there are two roadblocks in the middle of the road that are blocked from horseback made of wood.

"This intersection looks like the road to the city." John said, turning his telescope to move northeast, and after looking, he said, "It should be no mistake. There is a road to the city at the intersection, and street lights are beginning to be found near the city." As he said, he looked back at the intersection and whispered: "Colin, please confirm our location with the back." And just as Colin responded and started contacting, John said, "Peter, record, code-named Sparta, intersection, with roadblocks, number of people, five, six, six, and a PKM machine gun. Two pickup trucks."

"I understand!" Pete responded and quickly wrote these in his mind. Colin, who was standing beside him, said as soon as John finished speaking, "We were walking right." He said, pointing to the north, "Cain said, just follow the road ahead, heading northwest, with a straight line of two kilometers."

While listening to Colin's words, John turned his telescope to the north, and after looking, he said, "It seems that the city is much more lively than here."

When Peter heard John say this, he couldn't help but look in the city. He knew that the so-called liveliness did not refer to the bustling people coming and going in the city. Instead, it should refer to the tight guard and many people standing guard. However, from here, I can't see anything from the naked eye. I can only see that there are lights on many places there, and vehicles passing by vaguely on the road.

John quickly put away his telescope and said, "Let's go around this intersection and go to the city first. I have to see what's going on in the city."

But as soon as John finished speaking, the sound of the car's engine came again from behind them, which was the direction they came from.

John immediately lay on the ground and did not move. At this moment, the roadside was already very close to them. It was definitely not possible to squat, so he could only lie down.

After lying down, Pete lifted the gun he was carrying and looked at the car that was driving. This was also a pickup truck, but it seemed not the one I saw before. There were also people carrying weapons in the car, and some of them were smoking cigarettes.

The car was about 30 to 40 yards. After approaching the checkpoint, the speed decreased again. Finally, it slowly came to the checkpoint and stopped.

The people in the car opened the door and got out of the car, and it seemed that they were not ready to leave immediately. After getting off the car, they stood together and started chatting again. After staying for more than ten minutes, they got in the car and turned around at the intersection and drove back.
