Chapter 561: He Is Still Alive.

Xiao Luo still didn’t stop after killing Mina. He immediately turned to leave and continued his hunting activities. These soldiers wanted him to die ‒ but sorry to disappoint, he would send them into the arms of God.

Bleak murderous intent pervaded the forest!

The army encountered plenty of simple mines made up of thin lines and grenades and were blown to pieces. Some have been strangled alive in mid-air by green vines stretching down from trees without warning and constricting their necks; while some had their throats suddenly slit open with a dagger…

These were examples of miserable ways to die, and the army of more than one hundred people were reduced to just mere thirty to forty people in a span of less than half a day. But despite so many deaths and sacrifices, they still had no trace of Xiao Luo.

‘Their enemy is a ghost!’

Powell was going mad. If he succeeded in killing Xiao Luo, he would undoubtedly get a reward from his superiors. However, if he failed, he would face the court-martial. So there was only one way left for him ‒ to kill Xiao Luo no matter what.

But at this time, the situation was moving against his favor.

“That Chinese is a god of death, we can’t beat him, we can’t beat him…” Rice’s spirit was on the verge of collapse. Mina’s death, as well as the deaths of his many companions, plunged him into endless fear. Their enemy was not a man, but a god of death who came out of hell, reaping lives with his sickle. They were only human beings, how could they go against a god of death?

“Shut up, you bastard!”

Powell’s face was ugly. He seized Rice by the collar. “We have no way out, either he dies or we die. What nonsense death? Even if he is God, this boss will destroy him!”

Finally, he had been plunged into a state of madness.

“You are crazy. If it weren’t for your stupid command, he would have already returned to the coastal base and returned to China. We didn’t need to provoke such a terrifying existence in the first place. Mina’s death and everyone’s death are all your responsibility. The responsibility falls on you, the captain!”

Extreme fear would create extreme rebound. Rice was scared of Xiao Luo’s ferocity and Powell’s ridiculous command had turned everything into this state.

“Bastard!”

The angry Powell kicked him to the ground, took out his pistol, and emptied all the bullets in the magazine towards Rice.

[Bang bang~]

Every bullet hit the ground near Rice’s head. The sound of the bullet whistling past his ear made Rice’s scalp numb, and he couldn’t help screaming in horror. When the gunfire finally stopped, Powell looked like a frightened cat.

On the side, Thomas’ body was trembling uncontrollably.

“It’s not that I’m crazy, but you motherf*ckers are too weak!” Powell shouted with crimson eyes. “That’s a tiger raised by China. If we don’t get rid of him now, it will eat us until we’re left with a pile of white bones.”

He then turned his head and stared at Thomas, he ordered, “Immediately contact the headquarters and let them cover this area with an artillery fire. I want that damn Chinese to be reduced to ashes in this artillery fire.”

Hearing this, Thomas stumbled and almost fell to the ground. “But… Captain, our people are still there…”

“I will apply for the highest award for them…”

Powell then said fiercely, “Execute the order!”

‘A devil, a madman!’

Thomas and Rice were deeply shocked by Powell’s state. He even disregarded his own comrades’ lives or deaths, this was just pure cruelty.

“The f*ck are you still standing around? Execute my order IMMEDIATELY!”

Powell kicked Thomas to the ground while he roared his order.

Thomas immediately got up and gave a military salute. “Yes.”

He then ran back to the car, and set out to contact the headquarters at the coastal base, and requested artillery support.

Gunfire sounded from time to time in the forest, and there were urgent requests for support in the intercoms… A whole army of 100 people couldn’t deal with one man, this was terrifying and just plainly desperate.

“Captain, the headquarters responded, they will provide artillery fire in five minutes!”

Thomas, who contacted the coastal base, jumped out of the car and reported to Powell.

“Good, now let’s go, let’s leave this area!”

Powell smiled coldly. He then pulled Rice, who was still lying on the ground, by the collar and kicked his @ss, “If you don’t want to die, then get in the car for this boss!”

Naturally, Rice didn’t want to die. He regained his senses and rushed into the car as quickly as possible.

The three then drove away as they rushed towards the road outside the forest.

At the same time they arrived at the straight road, noises started sounding from the sky. When they looked up, dense missiles spanning hundreds of meters were falling straight down towards the forest in front of them.

[Boom~]

Terrifying explosions sounded one after another, and tons of soil and trees were blown up. The whole forest was practically shaking under the cover of the artillery fire. With this, no living creature inside the forest could escape the fate of death.

“Ha ha ha….” Powell laughed, his smile was ferocious and demented.

Thomas and Rice were experiencing a nervous breakdown. Their comrades who were still inside the forest would certainly also be killed by the artillery fire. Their bodies probably wouldn’t even be found afterwards. The two were extremely saddened and deeply condemned by their conscience.

Ten minutes later…

The artillery fire finally stopped. There was a strong smell of smoke in the air… The forest was utterly destroyed, and fires were blazing everywhere. There was no doubt that this ‘forest’ had become inhabitable indefinitely.

“Is he… is he finally dead?”

Thomas trembled and stared at the wasteland ahead.

Powell and Rice were both stunned by his question. Powell shouted in an unassailable tone, “Are you kidding me? As long as you are inside there, you will die!”

“Yes, he is dead, but so are our people.” Rice’s eyes were empty and dull, as if he was talking to himself.

“As long as that monster dies, all sacrifices are worth it.”

Powell finally calmed down a little. He patted Rice on the shoulder, and comforted him, “You will thank me for being rewarded and promoted after returning home.”

Rice smiled a self-depreciation smile. They were basically stepping on their companions’ bodies to get ‘rewarded’.

“Ah~”

Suddenly, Thomas screamed and he fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the front in horror.

“What the f*ck are you screaming for?” Powell rebuked.

Thomas raised his shaking hand and pointed to the front, in a trembling voice he said, “He… He is still alive…”
