141 Flame of Chaos (2/2)

”I want to know, what happened in front?” A chubby driver yelled out of his window.

”A bomb made a hole in the middle of the road, but it didn't detonate. To ensure that it will not blow you up when you drive by, we are trying to defuse it.” The soldier shrugged as he leaned against the car.

To be honest, his relaxed look certainly made people feel calm.

”He is lazy, sticking around in the safe area after reporting. I did that a few times,” Nick half-joked, and half-cursed. Seeing the young face, he felt like he saw the young him.

Jiang Chen looked at him in surprise. He thought Nick was the type to be meticulous at all times.

[Because it was not worth fighting for?]

He thought about it, but he instantly understood.

”Is it common to see these bombs?” Jiang Chen looked at the soldier slacking off as he asked Nick.

”Very common.” Nick who sat back in the car lit another cigarette to waste time. ”Both sides are wasting Soviet firearms, but these things are well past their expiration date. Take the ”Dot-U” tactical missile with only ten years of service life, for example, once it leaves the launch pad, you don't even know where it will fly to.”

The soldier leaning against the car chatted with the driver with a smile on his face. He also took the cigarette passed to him.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched. He was worried about the ability of the Kane army. If it were these types of fools, he wouldn't want them even if they were free.

Sensing Jiang Chen's concern, Nick smiled and spoke.

”Probably a new recruit. He could be an electrician yesterday, and today he was given a rifle to patrol the front line. Adjusting is hard. In this place, anything is possible.”

”What about recruit training?” Jiang Chen asked, dumbfounded.

”No money and no one wanted to do it. The guy we are going to find, Markanov, is a good guy. He will not use unqualified people to substitute good people. There are plenty of fighters in the kane army. Take the army I was in for example. Although six out of ten were recruits, the remaining four were great people. Especially the guy from Cossack, his shooting was insane.”

Jiang Chen fell into a short silence as he thought about another problem.

”Right now, is he willing to bring the fighters in the army out?”

”Why not?” Nick shrugged. ”The war is not going to be swayed by one or two soldiers. Especially since you are paying enough money.”

To the Markanov guy, Jiang Chen's bribe was also one million USD, payable in gold. The only thing he needed to do was to pick the right people, sign a few spots, and provide a few missing reports.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from a distance.

Thick smoke rose, and people watched the chaos from afar as they began to frighteningly curse. Some people took out their phones and started recording.

The soldier was clearly stunned by the explosion as he looked blankly at the highway in front.

After a long time, the soldier looked at the Kane driver that he just chatted with.

”Perhaps our comrades successfully detonated the bomb?”

The cars in the front began to move gradually.

The danger was already alleviated. Regardless, a bomb could not blow up twice.

Seeing this, Nick also started the car. The good thing was that there were not a lot of cars on the road, to begin with. So, it didn't cause a massive blockage.

When they passed the frightening bomb hole, Jiang Chen saw traces of bloody remains.

”Looks like the special force's method of detonation is quite unique.”

Hearing that, Nick cracked a smile, his words had a satirical tone, ”Special force? The only force worthy of this name already defected to Russia.”

As the two chatted back and forth to kill time, a white van followed behind them.

The tinted window blocked the scene within the vehicle. If Jiang Chen saw the person sitting in the passenger seat, he would have been shocked.

The blonde, blue-eyed, gorgeously figured beauty, the same woman that chatted with him yesterday afternoon. The only difference was, the seductive exposed dress changed into a black trench coat, easier for combat.

”This is Silver Fox. Target entered Oesk.”

”Roger, this is Vulture. Continue with plan B.”

”Understood.”

The vibrant red lips carved a mischevious, demon-like smile.
