Chapter 591: The Battle of the Remaining Three (Part One)

The sight of Xu Cheng taking out another cigarette was very annoying to the M Nation commanders.

“Kill him and bring his corpse back to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers.”

“Countdown to the drone dropping small bombs. Three seconds!”

“Three!”

Casey and the others all pulled out their guns and laid down on the ground as they prepared to get up and make their next move.

“Two!”

“One!”

Shu–

A small bomb fell from above Xu Cheng’s head.

Boom!

Although it was blown by the wind and fell a bit off target, the bomb still exploded beside Xu Cheng. An average person would have been crippled if not killed by that explosion.

For a moment, the dust and sand stirred in the air and the large open sandy area suddenly gave Casey and the others a chance.

They quickly got up and rushed to that place.

However…

As they got up, they had thought that even if Xu Cheng didn’t die, he would need some time to recover from that minor concussion, or if he could lift his sniper rifle, his vision would be disturbed by the sandstorm and he wouldn’t be able to hit the target.

But they were wrong.

The moment the twenty-three of them got up…

The sound of gunfire followed.

And it was at a consistent firing rate.

Bang, bang, bang…

A total of six shots were fired!

The M Nation soldiers who had just stood up fell backwards one after another as if their heads had run into a wall, and they all remained on the ground motionless.

The commanders were shocked as they watched their six soldiers suddenly fall to the ground.

“How could it be! How is this possible! Was it him shooting? Or was there someone else?”

“No! There was no one else around; could there have been some other mercenaries waiting in ambush in the sand? That must be it, otherwise it’s hard to explain how he could have done all this on his own! Those six bursts of gunfire just now, it couldn’t have been at that frequency. I don’t believe he’s still alive and firing!”

“Casey, stop the attack.” The commander shouted, “They might have an ambush ready.”

Casey and the others sprinted forward like panthers. “It’s too late. Everyone stop, only Zachary, Bowen, and I, the three of us, will charge forward. We’ll demolish our opponents with our true ability! Regardless of his dirty tricks and tactics, I’m determined to kill him!”

Zachary, Bowen, and Casey were the only three S-ranked pros on the team, and they split up three ways to divert Xu Cheng’s attention as they pulled their helmets down in front of their faces.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

They were smart as they covered their faces with their helmets while charging forwards, so that they wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of their six comrades.

Although it would slow them down, with their explosive power and stamina, they could run far faster than an average person.

They reached 800 meters within just one minute of sprinting.

Xu Cheng quickly aimed at those mines underneath their feet and detonated them with one shot after another.

For a while, the seventeen soldiers running were surrounded by exploding mines bursting out layers of sand. The soldiers who were close enough were directly blown away, and even if they had bulletproof vests and helmets, that shockwave still shocked them to the point where their whole bodies were uncomfortable, making them dizzy after falling hard onto the ground.

There were nine soldiers who were directly affected by the mine blast and fell onto the ground, and although they didn’t die, they had lost their ability to fight for a short time.

The commanders turned pale seeing what was happening.

The loss was too costly!

Chapter 591: The Battle of the Remaining Three (Part Two)

They hadn’t harmed a single enemy yet, and eleven of their men had been killed, while nine were injured. This meant that twenty of them were expected to be out of the mission for the next round of the contest!

This was their worst performance since the battle with the Continental Mercenary Group five years ago; even worse, because the death toll of their opponent this time was zero!

The number was heavy.

Heavy enough that it made the commanders feel particularly depressed.

The drone was trapped in a cloud of dust and it was impossible to capture how many people were still alive. When the dust slowly dissipated, they leaned closer to the screen one by one to take a look.

Xu Cheng was gone!

“He’s gone!” someone yelled.

“Where did he go?”

The commanders immediately shouted to Casey and the others who were still running towards Xu Cheng, “Attention, the sniper is not there! He’s missing!”

At the same time, a few soldiers who had been knocked to the ground by the mine suddenly burst out screaming, “Ah!”

Casey and the other two’s pupils constricted.

“He’s behind us!”

Xu Cheng did take advantage of the long sandstorm to dash behind them, he had deliberately detonated all the mines around him to make the sand dust even thicker to disrupt the drones’ vision; at the same time disrupt the group of soldiers who had already scattered and ran. They wouldn’t be able to see well in such an environment, but Xu Cheng was different, he could see everything clearly!

So by the time Casey and the others were almost at where Xu Cheng was, Xu Cheng had already rushed to the side of those scattered soldiers and slit their throats one by one!

Casey’s trio turned back immediately, but the roiling sand prevented them from seeing objects and surroundings more than three meters away. By the time they found their comrades, they were already dead.

Casey: “Adam’s dead!”

Zachery: “Morris’s down!!”

Bowen: “Jiru’s dead! Crowe too, and so is Aman!”

Casey then found three more of his comrades nearby, all of them with their eyes open and their throats slit.

He crouched down and closed their eyes with his hands as he sighed. “Luther, Adams, and Steven are dead!”

The list of names was like a nightmare to the commanders as they stared at the machines and screens with blank eyes not knowing what to do or say. The mood was more than heavy, and the four commanders took off their headphones and smashed them across the wall.

“Sh*t!”

“Fu*k!”

After Zachery listed all the dead names, he sighed. “There are only three of us left! Captain, do you have any good ideas?”

Casey’s eyes were bloodshot as he crouched halfway down beside his comrades’ bodies. He looked around at the sand dust and suddenly roared, “Son of a b*tch! Come out if you dare! We’ll fight like men, and I will not be Casey if I can’t kill you!”

The commander said, “Casey, calm down. You’re only going to expose your location by yelling like that. All you three need to do now is calm down and go find the stun grenade in your bags; maybe it will help you in this situation.”

Casey replied, “How the f*ck am I supposed to calm down? You tell me! We’re the only three left from a group of thirty. In just three days, on our first mission, we sacrificed twenty-seven of our comrades!”

Bowen also said in a deep voice, “If we don’t kill this man, we won’t be worthy of being the comrades of our dead brothers!”

Zachery agreed. “Exactly.”

Casey yelled at the sand dust around him, “Come out here! I’ll kill you all!”

There was a bang of a gunshot.

The three men caught the direction of the gunshot with their ears and headed towards there.

When they arrived at a sandy place, they saw a black hooded man already standing in front of them with a cigarette in his hand as he inhaled a mouthful.

“Having fun?” he asked with a smile.
