Eric did not immediately say that, but asked for a bottle of water first. After taking a few sips, he opened the map he brought with him and said, "We asked some people who had been to the west of the city. They said that there were a small group of Russians and some Osaiti people there besides bombing. These people did not have the ability to completely block the west side of Tshinvali, so some Georgian troops outside the city are trying to enter the city from there. In the west of the city, there is a place called Osaiti Square, and there is a parking lot below the square, where the Georgians temporarily avoid gathering. We can move here first and then leave the city for reconnaissance."

Donovan looked at the map and pointed to the west and said, "Are we going to enter this mountainous area first?"

"Yes. If the west of the city is really as we learned, and we can leave the city smoothly, then we will go there first. Then we will find a way to go south and towards Znauri. As far as I have received before, there will be Georgian troops stationed after the attack begins. If we can get there smoothly, then we will almost succeed." Eric said.

"Sounds good." Donovan nodded and pointed at the mountainous area on the west side of Tskhinvalli on the map. "But there may be a fight here. There are only a few people in total now, and it is somewhat unrealistic to take the initiative to attack the other party. Can you ask the Georgians for help?"

"I can't answer this." Eric shook his head, "It can only be settled when we see the situation there." He said that, and looked at the others and said, "Are you ready to investigate in the mountains?"

"Select." Donovan said, pointing to Jeff beside him, "Jeff, Pete, and me. Plus you have four people in total to be responsible for reconnaissance. But there is one thing I have to figure out in advance. That is what if we really can't get out, I mean we failed through all kinds of efforts and we were surrounded by Russians. What should we do then?"

This problem is obviously not just something Donovan wants to figure it out. After hearing this problem, everyone else looked at Eric. Eric sighed helplessly when he heard this problem, "If that's true... we may have to get rid of these Georgian soldiers. We dress ourselves up as ordinary people and find ways to get out. Apart from that, I can't think of any other better way."

Eric's words made everyone look at each other. After a moment of silence, Morris suddenly said: "I would rather fight the Russians to the end."

"Okay." Evans said disdainfully when he heard Morris' words: "Life is more important than anything else. By then your mission would be done long ago instead of being completed. Then even the Georgians surrendered, why would you fight?"

"It's better not to do that." Eric said, "If that happens, our fate is no longer in our hands." After that, he looked at Steve, who was still unconscious, and walked to him and patted him in the face, "Have he not woke up yet?"

"No." Ochoa said, pointing to a Georgian medical staff not far away, saying: "I just used a pack of cigarettes to ask that person to come and see. The man was a military doctor. His statement was similar to our judgment. Maybe he would wake up soon, or there might be something wrong in his head."

Eric stood up when he heard Ochoa's words, turned to Donovan and said, "When will you go out of here? Do you have to wait for darkness?"

"Wait first." Donovan said, pointing to the top of his head, "A wave of air raids just passed. Maybe it's about to start now. We'll leave after this time."

"I think so too. In fact, it may not be safe at night. Not to mention that the air strikes may not stop. The Georgians here have not been able to fully control the city. At night, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the Georgians, and they may be regarded as enemies by the Georgians." After Eric said that, he sat down against the wall on one side, "Stay a good rest. We will set off immediately after the next wave of air strikes." After that, he sorted out his black bag.

Pete looked at his bag, and saw Eric taking out something in his hand and then put it back. He couldn't see what it was, but he could feel that Eric cared about such things very much. The reason he kept carrying this bag should be for such things, right? Pete did not continue to stare, but quickly withdrew his gaze and chose a place to sit down.

After a while, the Russian air strike came again, but this time was not as powerful as what I had experienced before. It might be because there was not much on the ground to explode, so the air strike seemed a bit perfunctory. About five minutes later, when the explosion and violent vibration completely disappeared, Eric stood up tiredly, carried his bag and turned to look at Donovan and said, "Come on, hurry up."

Donovan immediately said: "Take the wounded as they did before. Let's leave here."

Not only were they leaving here, but also the Georgians who had temporarily avoided here. Just as Eric walked past them, the captain who had previously introduced the situation to him said a few words to Eric.

"They are leaving here too. They are going to go to the east edge of the city to set up defenses," said Eric.

When you walk out of the underground parking lot here, everything in front of you changes again. It’s like this city is alive. As long as you look at it again for a while, it will become another one. It’s just that Tshinvali is becoming more and more miserable. The whole city is even more dilapidated than before. At a glance, you can’t see a few towering tall buildings, even if there are, it’s not complete.

At this moment, there is no fierce firefighting in the city as before. Now, there are no dense sounds of gunfire except for sporadic gunfire. Perhaps it is because not only the Georgians, but also the Russians and South Ossetians are hiding to avoid accidental bombing and injury.

"Let's go. We have to hurry up." Eric looked up at the sky, "I hope those bastards Russians can rest and prepare for dinner. May God bless us."

I don’t know if Eric had any effect on God’s prayer. The journey went very smoothly. Not only did he not encounter any air strikes from the Russians, but he did not encounter any harassment on the road except for some Georgians who were also rescuing the wounded and searching for their companions in the ruins. He came to the west of the city and found the Ossetia Square.
