Chapter 557: Large-scale Explosion.

They were forced to engage in gun-fight the entire way!

Xiao Luo was like a Grim Reaper that reaped the life of the rebels that came before him. Together with the SEAL Team, they protected Sarah’s safety.

After a long period of intense running, Sarah was panting and sweating heavily. “I… I can’t run anymore, you just go ahead and leave me…”

She was beyond exhausted that she couldn’t feel her body anymore. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it could burst out of her chest at any moment. The ache was unbearable. Even if she was to get killed by the rebels, she couldn’t run anymore…

Xiao Luo looked around and set his eyes on a low room with only four of its walls left, “Go there, I will lead the rebels away!”

Every moment was precious and could not be wasted.

Powell didn’t object to Xiao Luo’s suggestion; after all, their task was to protect Sarah. Since Xiao Luo was the only one leaving, and Sarah would be with them ‒ Then naturally, it wouldn’t be a problem.

He nodded, “Be careful Mr. Mie!”

Then the SEAL Team escorted Sarah quickly to the room.

Right after they went in and hid, a dozen rebels emerged from the back street.

Xiao Luo immediately shot at them but he deliberately left them alive and only crippled their legs so that they could report their coordinates to their superiors. After that, Xiao Luo didn’t continue to fight. He was like a wolf, running forward and disappearing at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.

The rebels then chased after him in batches. Powell, who was hiding in the tiny room, only heard a burst of footsteps approaching before quickly fading. There were also military vehicles roaring past them on the road. Just the sheer number of rebels put heavy pressure on him, and made it difficult to breathe.

After the surroundings turned completely quiet, Rice asked Powell, “Captain, what should we do?” Powell, whose sweat was dripping from his head didn’t know whether it was the cold sweat caused by excessive tension, or hot sweat caused by strenuous exercise.

“Wait.” Powell breathed a long sigh. “Let’s wait till it gets dark. Currently, the rebels have surrounded us. It is impossible for the five of us to escape when there is still daylight. Even if we kill those we meet, this is the Gobi Desert, we can hardly see any bunkers. It will be just too easy for the other rebels to catch up with us. I don’t want to be their living targets.”

Rice, Mina, and Thomas all nodded their heads. They knew Powell was telling the truth. If they were in this town, they still had a little bit of hope living; however, if they were chased by groups of rebels in cars on the Gobi Desert, they would be dead before they had a chance to fight back.

“Sorry, it’s all because of me, so many people have died!”

Sarah fell into deep remorse. She saw too many casualties along the way. Her family’s bodyguards and the other SEAL Team members, all the lives that came to Libya to protect her had died. If she hadn’t come here, so many people wouldn’t have died.

“Miss Sarah, this is our task and our duty. As soldiers, we must always be prepared to bleed and sacrifice ourselves. Even if we all die, you must return to the coastal base safely.” Powell said.

Sarah was in tears. She was deeply moved by these soldiers. She was also a human being, So why is her life more precious? Why should so many people die for her? It’s not fair, it’s not fair at all!

“Is that Chinese guy still alive?” At this time, Mina suddenly asked in a lukewarm tone.

The others were slightly stunned, and then Sarah cried out harshly, “Mr Mie will definitely come back, he will be fine. Even the Khun Sa mercenary group can’t do anything to him. The rebels couldn’t possibly be more powerful than the Khun Sa mercenary group!”

“I admit that his individual combat capability is very strong, but this is a stronghold of the rebels. He has attracted all the firepower to him. Even if he is Superman, it is absolutely impossible to escape safely under the pursuit of heavy encirclement and suppression.” Mina said.

Silence, everyone chose silence as a response!

As Mina said, the chances of Xiao Luo surviving are very slim.

“Damn it, why did I even pick fights against that Chinese in the first place? At this critical moment, he stood up and actively attracted the firepower. This is the fearless spirit of China. I really owe him an apology!” Rice grieved bitterly and was extremely apologetic for his previous words and deeds.

Thomas also echoed, “If I manage to make it out alive, I will definitely honor him and spread his deeds!”

He also felt deep regret and was now just in awe of his courage and ‘sacrifice.’

His previous prejudice against Xiao Luo completely disappeared.

Powell, on the other hand, whispered, “Personally, I don’t want him to die. But if we’re talking on a national level, I would rather choose that he dies.”

‘Hmm?’

This remark made Mina, Rice, Thomas and Sarah’s eyes widen.

Powell ignored their change of expressions and went on to say, “We have all seen his combat capability. It may be rude to say but among the whole SEAL team, even if we choose our best fighter, we will definitely be defeated by him. If our two countries fight, this kind of person will be our nightmare. I don’t know how China cultivated such a war machine, but there will definitely not be too many like him. So if he dies, it is something worth celebrating for us.

“Enough!”

Sarah cried resentfully as she stared at Powell, “Captain Powell, you said that we are all comrades-in-arms and companions, but why is your attitude towards your comrade and companion like this? If I am Mr Mie, I would definitely have an extremely bad impression on our Shemei Guo Country if I heard this.”

Powell didn’t reply, he knew that saying more would not change Sarah’s view; after all, the Michelle Family has always been friendly to China. But they were different, they were soldiers, and their thoughts were naturally beyond Sarah’s understanding, who was just an ordinary citizen.

[Boom~]

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded from the middle of the town.

The whole town shook and thick smoke rose to the sky, which was mixed with scarlet flames. Even if the explosion was very far away from them, they could still feel the terrifying shockwave caused by the explosion.

“What happened? Why is there such a large-scale explosion?”

Powell rose from the ground along with the others and looked at the smoke rising from the middle of the town in horror.

“Could it be that the ammunition depot of the rebels exploded?” Rice asked suspiciously.

His words just fell when a series of noise sounded right after, the town was crumbling.

Powell’s brow wrinkled deeply. This was undoubtedly caused by Xiao Luo. Maybe that guy died with the rebels (self-detonation)?

In such a large-scale explosion, it would be difficult for people to escape or get out of range by feet. Even from this distance, they could feel a slight burning sensation on their faces, so what would those people close to the explosion feel?
