Chapter 559: Hunt.
“Iron Eagle One to Captain Powell, the target has been locked on, the target has been locked on, should we open fire?” From the walkie-talkie, a helicopter pilot asked.
“Bomb that vehicle for me!” Powell responded almost in a growling tone. Since they had already completed the mission, which was providing protection for Sarah, Xiao Luo had become a thorn in his side. If he didn’t get rid of him, he would feel uneasy even if he returned home.
“Received!” The pilot replied.
In the next second, an anti-tank missile was launched from the bottom of the Iron Eagle No.1 helicopter towards Xiao Luo’s vehicle.
[Whoosh~]
The blast from the missile’s fin streaked across several hundred meters in an instant and drew a trail of smoke in the air. It then accurately hit the military vehicle speeding on the road.
[Boom~]
With a loud noise, the missile exploded, and the military vehicle was engulfed in flames. It was blown up eight meters in the air before falling down. Its parts and components were scattered, and the blazing waves of fire burst forth while thick smoke billowed all around.
“Iron Eagle One has hit the target, Iron Eagle One has hit the target!”
‘Hit just like that?’
‘This is too simple!’
Powell was sitting in another car as he looked at the smoke in the air. He couldn’t believe that Xiao Luo could be killed by them as simple as that.
He ordered the driver, “Quick, full speed ahead!”
“Yes.”
More than twenty cars quickly drove to the explosion site, and a car on the road was swallowed up by fire, the flames blazed up to four meters in the air. At the same time, there were bursts of cracking sounds, just like the sounds made when firewood was being burned.
Seeing Powell disembarking from the car, Rice hurriedly dissuaded, “Captain, don’t go near it, there might be a second explosion. It’s dangerous!”
But Powell was eager to confirm whether Xiao Luo was dead or alive. As long as he didn’t see Xiao Luo’s corpse with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have peace of mind; so he ignored Rice’s words and stepped forward.
The closer he got to the car, the higher the temperature was. When he was about one meter away, his skin started to feel like it was going to burn!
Powell endured the burning pain and looked into the driving position of the military vehicle, his gaze penetrating through the flame. Contrary to the extreme heat, he was suddenly bathed in cold sweat because there was no body in the driver’s position of the car. The car was empty! Even if he was hit by a missile, his body shouldn’t disappear. The only explanation was that the Chinese man was not even in the car to begin with.
‘But if no one is in the car, how can the car move forward?’
As he inspected closer, he discovered a blackened and burnt stone in the car, and suddenly understood everything. There was indeed no one in the car, and the reason why the car was still moving forward was because of this stone being tied to the gas pedal.
‘That Chinese did this?’
‘But why would he do that? Did he already know that we’ll kill him?’
The more Powell thought, the more intense the cold sweat emitted from his body was. He suppressed his true nature and his plan was executed with extreme care; he even waited until his own army appeared before he showed.
‘So how did he find out that Powell wanted to attack him?’
On the other hand, deep in the forest, Xiao Luo was kneeling with one knee on a big tree. His face flashed coldly.
“The fox’s tail is finally exposed!”
He looked at Powell and his mouth curved into a cold smile. “Then let me kill you one by one.”
As he said that, the sniper rifle in his hand aimed at the Iron Eagle No.1 helicopter hovering in the air about 200 meters away.
[Bang!]
The bullet pierced through the air and hit the rotor blade of the helicopter.
The rotor blade was made of high-density metal material, which would be impenetrable for ordinary bullets. So the sniper rifle did not penetrate it and only deformed it. However, that much damage was enough, such a deformation was fatal to helicopters.
The Iron Eagle No. 1 suddenly lost control and dropped to the ground like an eagle shot from the air!
[Boom~]
With a deafening explosion, the Iron Eagle No.1 hit the ground and shattered into pieces in an instant. Strong black smoke billowed right after the explosion.
Powell was still staring at the burning car. However, he snapped out of it and regained his senses when he heard the explosion.
He immediately roared an order.
“Full alert!”
[Bang~]
Another shot rang out and the rotor blade of the Iron Eagle No.2 helicopter was hit. It lost control and spun in the air, then followed the footsteps of Iron Eagle No.1 and crashed to the ground.
“He’s at three o’clock!”
Mina was using a sniper, so she was very good at picking up where the sound was coming from. She took the lead to track down Xiao Luo’s hiding place, and fired a shot at their three o’clock.
“Go, kill him!”
With a wave of his hand, Powell angrily ordered more than one hundred Shemei Guo troops to move towards Xiao Luo’s hiding place.
These soldiers were bold and they rushed bravely. However, when they got there, there was no trace of Xiao Luo.
“Spread out and create a grid search. Keep in touch with the comms, if you find any movement, report it immediately!”
Powell gritted his teeth as he shouted the order through the intercom. “This is a tiger from China, we can’t let him go. We must do our best to kill him here. Even if China wants to seek justice, we can just put the blame on the rebels of Libya.”
“Yes.”
There was a reply from each team leader from the intercom.
Rice was with Powell, and Mina used her sniper’s special intuition to guess Xiao Luo’s possible hiding places.
This was a dense forest. After one entered, one could feel the darkened surrounding and the gloomy atmosphere.
Xiao Luo quietly crouched on the ground amidst the dead leaves like a viper, his eyes were staring at the front, and his mouth raised into a sly smile.
‘Let’s hunt, shall we!’
Ever since he set foot on this land, he always felt that he didn’t enjoy himself. It seemed that these Shemei Guo soldiers would make up for his regret.
He wouldn’t like it if they were in the vast and open Gobi Desert, but in this dense forest, he would not have any pressure. On the contrary, the blood in his body was slowly boiling.
[Shing ~]
Like lightning, he waved his black dagger and three soldiers who were searching for him had cut their throats slit. Blood poured out of their throats, making bubbling blood sounds.
The nearby soldiers heard and looked toward the sound, and in horror raised their guns.
[Dadada…]
Gunshots rang out, shattering the peace of this forest. However, Xiao Luo’s body was extremely fast, and their shooting was only in vain.
[Plop~ Plop~]
The black dagger in Xiao Luo’s hand flashed, and the next second all of the soldiers fell to the ground twitching as their necks sprayed blood.
