Ochoa, who was standing against the wall, said: "In my opinion, everyone here has their own tasks. Defensive prison is the task of the sergeants here. If we need to help with the defense..." He shrugged and said: "I think this place should have been very critical at that time, but this situation has been said before and it is impossible."

Seeing that everyone said this, Pitt was not ready to insist. In fact, he had similar ideas to them in his mind. After all, there were so many troops around here and there was no reason for attacking here as they had expected before, so there was no need to worry too much. Even if those captured Iraqis were a little weird, it had nothing to do with him. They should just want to play tricks with the Intelligence Bureau.

But at this moment, Fayiz walked down from above and spoke after seeing the people from Team 009: "The old prison guard you are looking for has arrived. The person is standing outside. Let's go with me."

Donovan looked at the others, and saw that they were unwilling to move, so he looked at Pit and said, "Let's go, just go and see with me. As you said, there is nothing to do anyway." After that, he looked at Morris and said, "Leave everyone else to you, just stay here, don't walk around. Also, don't smoke." After that, he signaled to Pitt, and the two followed Fayz and walked up.

The old prison guard stood outside the three-story door accompanied by a prison guard. He was indeed quite old, and his beard and hair had turned gray. He was not in good spirits, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Faiz asked after seeing the old prison guard, and saw the man answering casually and looking at Donovan and Pitt beside Faiz. Faiz said, "This man is Fathill. You want to know what you can start asking him."

Pete and Donovan looked at each other. It was obvious that although the two of them were here at this moment, they were not very interested. However, after taking a look, Pite still said, "Can you introduce us to the situation around the prison?"

After hearing what Faiz translated, the old prison guard named Fathil was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting to ask this. However, he didn't ask much, but turned around and looked around and said something. Only Faiz translated: "The surroundings have changed. Originally, there was a hospital in the south, but now it has been changed into a military camp. There is a residential area to the northwest, and it's just like the old prison guard." He said, pointing to the northwest like the old prison guard and said: "It's the broken houses."

Pete and Donovan looked in the direction he pointed. Although they couldn't see clearly when they looked at the sun set in the west, they could still see that the buildings were ruined.

"Then there is no one in this area?" Donovan asked.

Fayiz directly replaced the old prison guard and said, "No one is there anymore. I am not unfamiliar with this area. The northwest region has turned over and had been destroyed. Even if someone lives in it, it is a homeless person. Only the mosque over there is still complete, and there are still people living there."

Pi Yi nodded, which is easy to understand. Various guerrillas, militants, bombs, cold guns, rockets, all tell the people here that the war is far from over, and Iraq is now far from the time for reconstruction. So it is normal that no one cares about the damaged places like this.

After seeing Faiz finish speaking, the old prison guard continued to speak, pointing to the east and said briefly. Faiz said: "He said that the east is also an area where troops blocked the garrison. Only through this area can one reach a park with football fields, but now it is abandoned."

"Are there many people around here?" Peter continued to ask.

After hearing Fayiz's translation, the old prison guard shook his head and sighed in a desolate sigh. Fayiz said, "He said no one lives there. There were many people around him who worked for prisons like me, their families, and some people belonging to the same system. With these, there were commercial streets, primary schools, kindergartens, and libraries. Now these are gone. People have moved away long ago, and most of them have left the city. I don't know when they will come back."

"That means that except for a small number of residents, there are all troops stationed here?" Pete asked.

"Yes." Fayiz said directly without waiting for the old prison guard's answer again: "Only by going south, where we are coming here, is the more crowded place."

"Are the US troops stationed in Alsabad there too?" Donovan asked.

Fayiz nodded and said, "Yes. Their military camp is located in the southeast of the city. There are some important facilities of the city, water plants, power plants, and transportation routes. Here, our north is the transportation route that continues to go north."

"That is to say, the garrison here is divided into two parts, guarding the major transportation routes between the north and the south and some important and dangerous facilities in the city, right?" Donovan asked.

"That's right." Fayiz nodded and said, "Can you know how long you will stay here?"

Donovan glanced at him and said, "At most three days. What? Didn't the people in Mosul explain to you before?"

"No. I have already said it. I just think that since you haven't found the person you are looking for, should you go back as soon as possible?" Faiz saw Donovan's doubts and continued: "We are short of staff now. It would be great if we can complete this as soon as possible."

"So you only have so many people? I originally said that there was a company of people. Now there is only one platoon at most." Donovan said.

"It's true," Faiz said: "Others have to conduct daily patrols and guards in Mosul and surrounding areas."

Donovan nodded and said, "I understand you very much, but we can't help with time. In fact, I am just responsible for security like you, and I don't have the right to decide the rest." After saying that, he looked at Pete and said, "How about it, do you have anything else to know?"

Seeing that Donovan and Faiz had ended their conversation, Pete immediately said: "I see that the surrounding walls are all brick walls, and many places are damaged. Is no one here to repair them?"
