Chapter 558: Powell’s Change.
Just as Powell and his party were still stunned by the massive explosion in the middle of the town, a dark green military vehicle rumbled up from a distance and stopped on the road in front of their low room.
[Shua shua shua~]
The SEAL Team reflexively raised their weapons and aimed at the military vehicle, and was prepared to fight.
But the door opened the next second, and a figure dressed in camouflage emerged from inside, and waved at them ‒ beckoning them to come out.
“Mr Mie, he is back!” Sarah burst into tears of joy and immediately ran out with an exuberant smile.
The SEAL Team was shocked.
“He came back in one piece?!” Mina exclaimed.
Rice said in horror, “This guy is really terrifying. How did he do it?”
Xiao Luo obviously came back from the middle of the town, and the large-scale explosion was also made by him. But how did he make it out without incurring even a single trace of injury?
Powell had not lowered his gun and his finger was still on the trigger. Currently, he was struggling with his mind. If he took the shot, there would be an 80-90% success rate of him killing this unsuspecting Chinese. But there was still a long way to go to the coastal base and killing Xiao Luo meant one less helping hand. If they happened to come up against the rebels again, the situation would become very disadvantageous for them.
‘Ahh forget it, we have to rely on him for the time being!’ He finally made a choice, and put down his gun. Then he said, “Let’s go, move out!”
Facing them, Xiao Luo got straight to the point, “Get in the car. Let’s get out of here!”
‘Get out of here?’
Powell’s face changed slightly. If they left the town and rebels caught up, wouldn’t they not be chased and beaten to death?
Knowing their thoughts, Xiao Luo added, “There are no more rebels, just ignore them.”
After saying that, he opened the car door and took the driver’s seat.
‘The rebels are gone? Ignore them?’
‘What does this mean? Earlier, he said to ignore the Khun Sa mercenary group, and now he is saying something similar, what is the meaning of this?’
Members of the SEAL team felt chills running down their backs. They had their guesses, but they just couldn’t accept it and couldn’t believe it.
On the other hand, Sarah finally regained her peace of mind as she got in the car. She trusted Xiao Luo’s words ‒ the danger was over.
……
……
“Mr Mie, is that explosion caused by you?”
“Yes.”
“Was it the ammunition depot of the rebels?”
“Yes.”
“The rebels in the small town? Have you completely annihilated them?”
“No.”
In the car, Sarah kept asking Xiao Luo questions, while Xiao Luo only answered concisely with yes and no.
As her questioning progressed, Powell’s expression became more and more incomprehensible. It was only when Xiao Luo answered the last question with a ‘no’ that he felt relieved. After all, there were at least five hundred rebels in that town. If Xiao Luo really destroyed all the five hundred troops single-handedly, it would definitely be more than ten times more frightening than seeing ghosts in broad daylight.
But what he didn’t know however, the rebels were indeed not completely annihilated, there was not much left…
After driving for two to three hours, they finally left the Gobi Desert and were now surrounded by more green plants. At about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, they met a team from the Shemei Guo Army.
Their number was around two hundred, with excellent weapons and armed helicopters. Powell was overjoyed and immediately got off to meet them.
“Mr Mie, look, it’s our country’s soldiers. We are approaching the seaside! I can already smell the sea in the air!”
The first thing Sarah did when she got out of the car was to take a deep breath of air. It was no longer the Gobi Desert, and the layers of dense forest gave her a sense of security.
“You are now safe, I should go!”
Xiao Luo didn’t want to have too much contact with the soldiers, so he uttered some words and was ready to drive away.
Suddenly, Powell ran up quickly and asked with a smile, “Mr. Mie, are you going to leave already?”
“What?” Xiao Luo asked lightly.
“China’s coastal base is more than two-hundred kilometers away from here. I think Mr. Mie should come with us. Isn’t the process still the same in going with us? After returning to Shemei Guo country, I will personally take you to the airport.” Powell said.
“Yes, Mr. Mie, come with us. I also want to invite you to visit our Michelle Family. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me.” Sarah warmly invited.
Xiao Luo looked at Powell for a moment before smiling and shaking his head as he turned down their offer. “No thanks, see you later!”
After saying that, he drove off before Powell and Sarah could even reply.
‘You want to leave?’
‘I’m sorry sir, but please stay in this land forever!’
Powell’s eyes went cold. He waved his hand and said, “Heed my orders and escort Miss Sarah back to the coastal base immediately!”
“Yes, captain!”
A clear response sounded.
Sarah Michelle noticed Powell’s behavior and asked urgently, “Captain Powell, what are you planning to do? How come you aren’t coming with us?”
“This is a military secret, so Miss Sarah doesn’t have to know.”
Sarah was then forcibly taken away by two soldiers. Her struggling cries grew faint until it could no longer be heard.
“Mina, don’t you hate Chinese soldiers?” Powell said to Mina with a cold smile, “I hate them too, especially this kind of Chinese soldier that has strong combat capability. I will give you the opportunity to retaliate against his rude behaviour to you. Use your sniper rifle and put a bullet through his head.”
“Yes!” This was Mina’s high-pitched response.
Contrary to his former attitude, Rice hesitated this time, “Captain, if it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have finished the task, we…”
“Shut up!”
Powell’s expression turned ferocious as he grabbed Rice by the collar. “If you can’t do it then go back to the coastal base now. Did you already forget the shame when he slapped you to the wall?”
Suddenly being reminded by Powell, Rice recalled the shame he had suffered.
He gave a military salute. “Reporting to Captain, I have not forgotten!”
Powell released him, gritted his teeth and shouted, “Then take your weapon, kill him, and let him pay with his life.”
“Sir-Yes-Sir!” Rice responded loudly.
“Proceed!”
As commanded, more than twenty military vehicles went after Xiao Luo. There were also two combat helicopters in the air, tightly locking on Xiao Luo’s vehicle on the road one kilometer away.
“Never let him leave here alive, this is a terrifying beast and must not be taken lightly!”
Powell prepared all kinds of weapons, and at the same time instructed all the soldiers. Xiao Luo was a monster that annihilated the Khun Sa mercenary group. Such a war machine that could even come back safe and alive under the pursuit of more than 500 rebels, should not be allowed to live.
