After killing Mina, Xiao Luo did not linger. He turned around and left, continuing his killing spree. These soldiers of the Mei nation wanted him dead, so he had no choice but to send them into the arms of God.
Murderous intent filled the air in the forest!
Some of the Mei soldiers were blown to smithereens by the simple landmines made up of thin wires and grenades. Some were strangled to death in mid-air by the vines that reached down from the trees and wrapped around their necks. Some had their throats slit by Xiao Luo's dagger as he dashed out of nowhere.
Their deaths were gruesome. In less than half a day, the team of more than a hundred people had been reduced to thirty or forty. They did not even have a clue where Xiao Luo was.
An enemy like a ghost!
Powell was on the verge of going crazy. He had made the decision without authorization. If he succeeded in killing Xiao Luo, he would undoubtedly be rewarded by his superiors. But if he failed, he would probably be court-martialed. So, there was only one option left for him, and that was to kill Xiao Luo.
But at this moment, the situation was heading for the worst.
"That Hua man is the Grim Reaper. There's no way we can defeat him. There's no way we can defeat him …"
Rice was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Mina's death, as well as the deaths of many of his comrades, had plunged him into endless fear. Xiao Luo was not a human, but a Grim Reaper who had walked out of hell with a scythe in his hand. They were mere humans, how could they possibly be a match for the Grim Reaper?
"Shut up, you b * stard!"
Powell's face was contorted in anger, and he gripped Rice's collar tightly with both hands. He was as ferocious as a demon. "We have no way out. Either he dies, or we die. What Grim Reaper? Even if he's God, I'm going to destroy him!"
He was already in a state of insanity, unable to extricate himself. He was like a madman.
"You're crazy. If it weren't for your stupid order, we would have already returned to the coastal base and would be able to return home soon. We wouldn't have had to provoke such a terrifying existence. Mina's death, and everyone else's, it's all your fault. It's all your fault, Captain!"
Rice did not blame Xiao Luo for his cruelty and viciousness, but he blamed Powell. If he had not carried out such a ridiculous order, things would not have turned out this way.
"Bastard!"
Unable to contain his anger, Powell kicked him to the ground, took out his pistol, and fired all the bullets in the clip at Rice.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
Every bullet hit the ground near Rice's head. The sound of the bullets whizzing past his ears made Rice's scalp go numb. He couldn't help but scream in terror. When the gunshots stopped, he was so scared that he was on the verge of tears. He looked at Powell with deep fear.
Thomas kept quiet out of fear, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"It's not that I'm crazy. It's just that you're too f * cking weak!"
Powell's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "That is a ferocious tiger that Hua has been raising. If we don't get rid of him now, sooner or later, he will devour all of us until we are nothing more than a pile of bones." Turning his head, he glared at Thomas and ordered, "Contact the headquarters immediately and tell them to bombard this area with no blind spots. I want that damned Hua person to be reduced to ashes in the gunfire."
Hearing this, Thomas stumbled and almost fell to the ground. "Captain … Captain, our men are still inside …"
"I will apply for the highest commendation for them …"
Powell said slowly, then glared at Thomas. "Carry out the order!"
Devil, madman!
Thomas and Rice were deeply shocked by Powell's current state. That crazed expression, that ruthless disregard for the deaths of his own men — this was not the Captain Powell they were familiar with.
"What the f * ck are you still standing there for? Carry out my order immediately! "
Powell roared, kicking Thomas so hard that he stumbled back four or five steps and fell to the ground.
Thomas immediately got up and saluted. "Yes, sir."
Then he ran back to the car and contacted the headquarters at the coastal base to ask them to provide artillery support.
From time to time, gunshots could be heard from the forest, and urgent calls for backup could be heard over the walkie-talkies. All of this made them feel like they were about to be defeated. Their team of more than a hundred men couldn't deal with a single Hua person. It was too scary, too despairing.
"Captain, the headquarters have responded. They will bombard this area in five minutes!"
After contacting the coastal base, Thomas jumped out of the car and reported to Powell.
"Very good. Let's go. We're leaving this area!"
Powell smiled coldly. Then he grabbed Rice, who was lying on the ground, by the collar and pulled him up. He kicked him in the butt and scolded, "Get in the car if you don't want to die!"
Of course, Rice didn't want to die. After he came to his senses, he rushed into the car as fast as he could.
The three of them drove the military vehicle toward the road outside the forest. Just as they reached the straight road, they heard a hair-raising sound piercing through the air. They looked up and saw a dense cluster of missiles, like small rockets, with flames burning at their tails. They flew hundreds of meters across the sky and fell straight toward the forest in front of them.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The terrifying sound of explosions rang out incessantly. Tons of soil and trees were blasted into smithereens. The earth shook and the mountains shook. The entire forest was covered in artillery fire. No living creature could escape the fate of being killed by the missiles.
"Hahaha …"
Powell laughed maniacally. His smile was ferocious and terrifying. At the same time, there was a mixture of pain and madness on his face.
Thomas and Rice, on the other hand, were having a nervous breakdown. There were still thirty to forty of their own men inside. Under such a bombardment, no one would be able to survive. They would all be blasted to death, and even their corpses would not be found after they died. They were extremely sorrowful and were deeply condemned by their conscience.
Ten minutes later …
After the missile bombardment ended, the air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder. The forest in front of them had been completely destroyed. The fire used firewood as fuel to burn the area. There was no doubt that this place had become a forbidden zone for life.
"Is he … is he dead?"
Thomas' eyes trembled as he stared blankly at the area in front of him that had been bombed by the missiles.
Powell and Rice were both stunned. The former shouted in an unquestionable tone, "As long as you're in there, no one can escape death!"
"Yes, who can escape death? Our men are all dead." Rice's eyes were empty and lifeless. He seemed to be talking to himself.
"As long as Mie is dead, all the sacrifices were worth it."
Powell calmed down a little. He patted Rice on the shoulder and comforted him. "When you get back to the country and receive a commendation and promotion, you will thank me."
Rice laughed. It was a mocking laugh. Stepping over the dead bodies of his comrades to rise to the top was a form of mockery no matter how one looked at it.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Thomas let out a scream. He was so shocked that he sat on the ground. His eyes were wide open as he stared in front of him in horror.
"What the f * ck are you screaming for?" Powell scolded.
