Chapter 518: Rebels.

BOOM ~

The military jeep at the very front was suddenly met by a burst of hot wave accompanied by a deafening noise. The jeep was instantly swallowed by the flame. The windshield where Xiao Luo was sitting could not withstand the high-pressure of this explosion and instantly exploded into numerous glass particles. The explosion was like a storm sweeping towards the driver, Kong Yunhong, Xiao Luo and Jiang Zhiming’s faces.

Fortunately, the driver responded quickly and stepped on the brakes at the moment of explosion, preventing them from crashing into the burning car in front.

“Ahhhhh~”

The shrieks and screams coming out from the front jeep were like the wails of evil spirits. From within the sea of fire, two soldiers pushed open the door and rushed down from the vehicle. However, their bodies were engulfed in raging fire, they soon fell to the ground without further struggles. They were burned alive.

“Enemy attack, enemy attack…”

Kong Yunhong was in a state of panic, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted desperately.

Jiang Zhiming immediately got out of the car and rushed towards the two soldiers. He took off his clothes and tried hard to put out the fire on them. At the same time, the soldiers on the rear vehicles also got out. Some people were responsible for monitoring the surroundings, while others assisted Jiang Zhiming.

A little while later, the fire on the two soldiers was finally extinguished, but they had no signs of life anymore. They were burnt everywhere, with many pustules on their skins, and were reeking a pungent burnt smell in the air.

As for the two people that were in the jeep along with these two, they were killed when the explosion happened.

Everyone was shocked. Although they were soldiers, they had only experienced peace, they had not been baptized by war. But here in Libya, they couldn’t help but accept such hellish baptism. Previously, they never thought that death was so close to them. Just moments ago, their comrades were talking and laughing with them, but now, they turned into charred remains.

Such an incident made them depressed, and at the same time, putting them on edge!

“What’s happened? What the hell is going on here? The jeep suddenly exploded, but I didn’t see any enemy near us.” Kong Yunhong was puzzled and asked with a blank face.

“It’s a mine.”

Jiang Zhiming raised his head and looked at the road ahead with deep eyes. It was obvious that he was having a headache. The windshield erupted into pieces and blasted at them, and now his face was filled with scratch wounds.

“There is a minefield about two kilometers ahead, we must detour!” Xiao Luo said.

the Mercenary King’s Constitution made him feel like he had arrived at his territory. Although those special symbols didn’t mean anything to many people, however, for him, they were markers, stating the information of the minefield. Those signs should have been put by the rebels to warn their own people.

“How do you… know?” Kong Yunhong asked in surprise.

Although Jiang Zhiming didn’t ask out loud, his eyes were obviously asking a question. Just before the explosion, Xiao Luo had cried out a warning – Stop. So he was sure that Xiao Luo had discovered something early that he himself didn’t even notice. How did this guy find it?

Xiao Luo naturally wouldn’t explain too much to them, and just sighed, “Let’s take a detour.”

Saying that, he turned and returned to the military jeep.

Since Xiao Luo was not willing to speak, Jiang Zhiming did not continue to ask. He told his subordinates to put the bodies of the two soldiers into the flaming car. They could only do this – a simple cremation.

Bypassing the minefield, they continued to head for Steining City. The burning car was left far behind but many of them still couldn’t help looking back at its location. There seemed to be the four spirits of their dead comrades waving to them amidst the rising smoke.

……

……

They had not even reached Steining city, yet they already lost four soldiers. Therefore, every member of the special operations team’s mood was particularly heavy. What happened just now made them realize that this was the real battlefield. This wasn’t a simulation, and death was right around the corner. They no longer dared to let their guard down in the slightest.

Since the jeep leading exploded along with the soldiers within it, Xiao Luo’s jeep was now at the front!

The commander taking the lead was very risky, but Jiang Zhiming still chose such an arrangement because he trusted himself and Xiao Luo. Once there was any danger, even if he could not find it, Xiao Luo would certainly find it and they could avoid it in advance.

For the rest of the journey, everything was normal other than the minefield during the day.

“When will we reach Steining City?”

At night, the bonfire flickered, and Xiao Luo asked Jiang Zhiming next to him.

“It should be possible to arrive at noon tomorrow.” Jiang Zhiming replied.

“OK, I see.”

Xiao Luo adjusted himself. This was the battlefield. Even when he was resting, his ears still paid close attention to the situation around him. Once there was any trouble, he would immediately wake up.

Nothing happened all night…

As soon as the sky brightened the next day, the team set out once more.

The terrain in Libya looked almost the same everywhere, filled with countless hills. After staying in this place for a long time, people will easily feel restless, especially since they were in a state of constant tension.

“Captain, look, there seems to be troops ahead!”

Kong Yunhong suddenly pointed nervously at the front and shouted, “Is it the government or the rebels?”

Xiao Luo already saw them long ago. There were five cars with well-equipped weapons and machine guns on the roof.

“No matter what army they are from, you must be prepared to fight!”

Jiang Zhiming took the lead in getting off the jeep, and prepared his team members to fight, and at the same time, reinserting the national flag to show their identity to the foreign troops.

Using binoculars, Jiang Zhiming quickly confirmed the identity of the other party. They were a small group of rebels in Libya. The rebels were very different from the government forces. Just by looking at their flags and military uniforms. The rebels’ military uniforms were darker, while those of the government forces were brighter. The contrast was obvious, one black and one white, hence the name.

When their motorcade stopped, the rebels also stopped. The leaders of both sides gauged each other through their binoculars.

“They are gesturing at us, they are asking us to pass, it seems that they want to avoid conflict.” Kong Yunhong was relieved.

Jiang Zhiming looked at Xiao Luo, “Mr. Mei, what do you think?”

“Let them go first and stay alert!”

Xiao Luo said, he didn’t let down his guard for a bit.

Jiang Zhiming nodded his head, this was also what he thought. If the other party was the government army, there would have been absolutely no problem with them going first. However, since the other party was rebels, they must keep vigilance.

Nevertheless, the situation suddenly took a drastic turn and the rebels attacked.

Whoosh… Whoosh…

More than a dozen mortar shells cut through the sky and roared fiercely at them.
