Chapter 517 - Land of Wars (2/2)
Kong Hongyun continued to press on and said, “Since you chose rifle as your main weapon, then it must be your forte! Our captain is also a great sniper. He took out the chief of the blue army from one kilometer away with just one shot and completed the assassination mission with outstanding results, then escaped the encirclement of a few hundred blue troops successfully. This made the blue army thought that they had run into a ghost, and ever since then, he was known to everyone as the ‘Ghost Bullet.’ Am I right, captain?”
“Ahem…”
Jiang Zhiming dry coughed and put up a stern face. “How is it that I’ve only come to discover that you’re such a gossip? You should keep your thoughts to yourself!” he chided.
He did not like to flaunt his personal achievements, and his intuition was that this Mie from the NSA was somebody special. Even trained soldiers like them felt slightly nervous, going deep into Libya’s central region, but Mie remained calm and indifferent as if such missions were a common thing to him. This complete lack of nervousness could not be faked, and his unflinching eyes said a lot about this man.
“I am not gossipy, but just stating all the facts.”
Kong Hongyun frowned and shrugged it off. He was quite close to Jiang Zhiming and knew his temperament very well, so he was not intimidated by Jiang Zhiming’s admonishment.
“Fine, just shut up now. If you are really bored, just go to sleep,” Jiang Zhiming snapped.
Kong Hongyun replied, “How can you be this mean, captain. This is a land of war; what if I took a bullet while I’m asleep and never wake up again? Wouldn’t that be so unfair?”
“Glad that you still know that.”
Jiang Zhiming sighed.
His jaws dropped when he turned over and realized that Xiao Luo had closed his eyes leaning against the window. His still position looked as if he had fallen asleep.
Oh, my God, this Mr. Mie is truly unwavering!
Kong Hongyun was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth.
Jiang Zhiming was dumbfounded, and since Xiao Luo was not his subordinate technically and had completely different missions, he did nothing. If any of his subordinates dared to do that, he would definitely have slapped them and put some sense into their heads. That was undoubtedly the most effective method to keep his confused subordinates alert.
Of course, Xiao Luo did not fall asleep, but it was his way of ending a conversation. Jiang Zhiming wasn’t too bad, but Kong Hongyun was simply too chatty once he started talking.
As it turned out, Xiao Luo’s approach proved to be very useful in keeping the car quiet.
When he finally opened his eyes, he observed the situation outside carefully. They were near the Libyan hill, which was located close to the edge of the desert. The ground was entirely covered with drought-resistant plants. After three kilometers, he noticed a signboard by the road with a unique symbol scratched into it. When they advanced further, he saw another board with those markings.
Suddenly, Xiao Luo sensed something was wrong. “Stop the cars!” he shouted.
What made Xiao Luo shout with such urgency?
