Chapter 532: I Have To Do This.

“Xiao Luo, did you… did you kill them all?”

Tang Wantian looked at Xiao Luo with a grimace. If she could accept killing the rebels before, then it was really unacceptable now. The amount of bodies was immeasurable. What kind of unfathomable strength did it take to kill so many people with just one person?

“This is a battlefield. It makes no difference to be killed by me or killed by other troops.” Xiao Luo lightly said.

“There is no difference? You killed them, but you don’t even feel a bit of guilt nor fear in your heart?” Tang Wantian looked at the man in fear. At this moment, this man was no different from a Demon in her eyes.

Xiao Luo glanced at her, and then said indifferently, “Tang Wantian, you should be glad that you are still alive. Instead of expressing your compassion after seeing corpses everywhere. You should think that if they are not dead, and I am dead, what do you think will happen to you right now?”

“I…”

Tang Wantian’s eyes widened, and her eyes trembled. Yes, if the rebels had won, it would have been despair and darkness that befallen her.

“Don’t try to stand at the commanding heights of morality and criticize anyone in this kind of place. This is a battlefield, and living is the most important thing, isn’t it?” Xiao Luo could understand Tang Wantian’s stance, but he did not support it.

Tang Wantian didn’t speak again, she just closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.

[Boom~]

[Chug chug~]

At this time, gunfire and smoke appeared in the distance. The whole city of Steining was engulfed to turmoil.

“What happened? Is it Captain Jiang?” Tang Wantian asked in horror.

Xiao Luo looked at the distance and shook his head. “It shouldn’t be.” he continued, “It looks like the two forces are exchanging fires. If I guessed correctly, it’s the government forces.”

“Is there going to be a fight here again?”

Tang Wantian’s face was as white as paper. She had now deeply understood the cruelty of war. She couldn’t imagine how she would be able to leave Steining alive; a place where bullets and gunfire were incessantly raging.

“This is a good thing, let’s go!”

Xiao Luo picked her up and hurried to the church which the group had agreed on before.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the church where the top had been blown off and there were only a few walls left.

Jiang Zhiming and others got there earlier, because most of the troops were transferred by Khamis to deal with Xiao Luo. So their journey was quite peaceful, without much hostilities. They only met small groups of rebels. But despite it being like that, they also sacrificed many people. Counting those who survived, plus Xiao Luo and Tang Wantian, only nineteen were left.

“Mr. Mie!”

Seeing Xiao Luo, Jiang Zhiming and the other’s spirits were reinvigorated.

Xiao Luo nodded slightly, then looked at the distant sky.

“Mr. Mie, the situation should be like this. The rebels and the government forces are currently engaged in combat. What should we do next?” Jiang Zhiming asked Xiao Luo for advice.

The others were also eagerly watching Xiao Luo. Unknowingly, Xiao Luo became the core of the team.

Xiao Luo said, “Wait.”

Wait?

They were all stunned and couldn’t help exchanging glances among them.

“I originally planned to break through from the west, but now the situation has changed. Since they are fighting, let them fight. If the government forces win, we can swagger out. And even if the rebels win, they would also be weakened. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, it is beneficial to us.” Xiao Luo explained.

Hearing this, everyone was relieved and accepted his words as reassurance.

……

……

The team bunkered down in the church. As time passed by, there were fleeing rebels; driving cars through the streets, while the victorious government forces pursued them.

Bombs and bullets were flying everywhere and the whole street was eroded by the battle. Corpses piling all over, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.

Looking at the bodies of hundreds of rebels and government forces, Tang Wantian finally understood what Xiao Luo said before. Indeed, it made no difference if he killed them. They would still die in other’s hands. Also Xiao Luo would be ridding them of trash people, so wasn’t that enough to justify his actions?

……

……

The final result of the battle was that Steining City returned to the hands of the government. When they saw the special operations team of China, they were particularly friendly. They not only provided them with good treatment, but also provided them with ammunition and vehicles. Each vehicle was also equipped with a heavy machine gun, which was more cordial than one of their own.

The supreme commander of the government forces was a general in his late fifties. His hair was white, with traces of years carved on his face. He was wearing a military uniform and had a tough temperament.

“Friendly comrades from China, were the eight hundred plus rebels in the central square annihilated by you?” The general asked Jiang Zhiming. After all, he was the captain of the special operations team.

“Eight hundred rebels? Are you talking about the same group of rebels?” Jiang Zhiming doubtfully asked.

The commander nodded, “Yes.”

Killed more than eight hundred rebels?

Jiang Zhiming, Kong Yunhong and other special operations team members involuntarily turned their gazes towards Xiao Luo. They didn’t encounter that many rebels along the way, and since the general wouldn’t joke about such things, then the only explanation would be that the more than eight hundred rebels were taken out Xiao Luo.

Eight hundred, seriously?!

Oh my God!

How they wish it was just a joke. Who would believe such a thing? It was too far-fetched. How could one man annihilate more than eight hundred armed rebels?

The commander of the government forces was a prodigy ever since he debuted. So upon seeing that Jiang Zhiming and others giving Xiao Luo strange looks, he roughly guessed something. He smiled and asked, “This soldier from China, may I know your name?”

“Don’t you already know?” Xiao Luo asked back lightly.

“I already know?” The commander frowned, he was confused.

Xiao Luo smiled lightly, “Warrior of China, this is what you call me.”

The general was stunned and immediately burst out laughing, “Well said, well said!”

Instead of chatting with the commander, Xiao Luo said to Tang Wantian, “You and Captain Jiang and others should go. The government forces have already marked a route on the map to reach the coast. This route is guarded by them, so you will be safe.”

“What about you?”

Tang Wantian asked, “Do you want to find Sarah Michelle?”

“This is my task. Let’s just part ways here. We’ll have the time and opportunity to chat further back in China.”

Xiao Luo smiled and then held out his hand to her. “Give it.”

“What?” Tang Wantian blinked, wondering what he was talking about.

“You captured a lot of things with a small camera along the way, and most of them had me in there. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but it’s just that I don’t trust ‘a reporter,’ so please hand it over.” Xiao Luo politely asked.

Tang Wantian was speechless and struggled in her heart. In the end, she honestly handed the small camera hidden in her pocket to Xiao Luo. She explained, “Xiao Luo, I swear, I will never disclose your appearance, let alone tell anyone about you.”

“I believe that you will do that, but still, I have to do this.”

Xiao Luo nodded and squeezed hard, and the small camera instantly turned into a pile of powder in his hand.
