Chapter 55: The Village Suffers a Massacre

  At the village entrance, several pickup trucks were parked, and a few people were moving sacks of grain they had looted onto the vehicles. To their surprise, these were the same grain supplies that Xie Xiaoshuai and his team had left for the villagers before they departed. In addition to the grain, the medicine that had been distributed to the villagers for treatment was also packed into the driving cabin of the pickup trucks.

  But what truly shocked Xie Xiao-shuai and his men was not these, but the other armed personnel in the village who were carrying out an event: massacring the village!!

  Several armed men holding guns in the village fired at the hiding villagers, and the running villagers fell to the ground one after another. Blood flowed from their mouths, noses, and wounds. In a few moments, no one was seen on the large square of the village. Compared with the lively scene when Xiaoshuai and others left, it looked very sad now.

  In addition, there were two more people holding gasoline-filled bottles with the cloth on the mouth of the bottle already ignited. After the gasoline bottle was thrown onto the thatched house, the dry thatched house instantly burst into a raging fire. Those who had just taken refuge in the house let out inhuman screams from inside, making one's hair stand on end and goosebumps all over their body.

  The cruelty of these people is appalling, and they don't even spare women and children. What's even more terrifying is that one of the armed personnel imitated the actions of a certain country's invasion of China in the past, using a bayonet to cut open the belly of a pregnant woman and pull out the unborn child. An elderly man was shot and lay on the ground convulsing, when one of the men with a gun walked up and pulled the trigger against his chest, instantly turning him into a beehive, with large amounts of blood flowing from behind him, staining the land red.

  The people of the Sha Fox squad looked at each other with red eyes, raised their guns and fired a warning shot into the sky. Several people in their hearts expected that these must be opened to them, they must eliminate all these beasts here, even if they were punished for it. The death penalty had already been sentenced in the hearts of several people, holding their guns tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

  However, the armed men were disappointed that after hearing the gunfire, they saw the fully armed Sand Fox team wearing blue berets and did not attack them. They jumped onto a pickup truck and quickly disappeared into the distance. The Sand Fox team could only watch as these heinous criminals escaped before their eyes, powerless to do anything. A single tear flowed from the eyes of these iron-blooded men, while Liu Yuxin was already crying uncontrollably.

  The patient who was taken away rushed down the car, saw the miserable situation in the village, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, saying something in his native language. However, everyone roughly understood what he was saying, and whoever encountered this kind of thing would probably react not much differently from him.

  Xie Xiaoshuai led the desert fox team into the village, and several people dispersed to search for survivors. At this time, the thatched houses had all been burned down, emitting smoke, and the people inside were definitely dead.

  In the end, the desert fox team collected all the bodies together. The whole village was dead, with no one left alive except for the patient who was to be taken away. Looking at the corpses on the ground, the researchers didn't dare to look at such a tragic scene.

  Out of humanitarianism, the Sha Fox squad spent a little time digging a big pit and burying the bodies of these people, letting them rest in peace. Otherwise, once the Sha Fox squad left, it wouldn't take long for the bodies to become food for the wild beasts and crows outside.

  On the way back to their base, several people were silent and didn't speak, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive. Liu Yuxin couldn't hold it in: "This is too miserable, these anti-government armed men actually dared to do such a heinous thing under international public pressure. Why did they do this? Those were all unarmed civilians!"

  Instructor Duan Ge's experience is quite rich, and he basically guessed the cause of things to be eight or nine out of ten: "It's for food. To say it, this village was slaughtered and we also have to take some responsibility."

  "What does it have to do with us?" Liu Yuxin asked in confusion.

  "It didn't matter at first, but we gave them a lot of food, so it became an issue. Haven't you seen that most people in this village are hunters? They have weapons, and when the grain looters came, they definitely resisted. It's just unknown what reason made these grain looters furious to this extent, and the leader ordered the massacre without any regard." Duan Ge explained to Liu Yu Xin.

  "I never thought that in today's society, with all the advancements in civilization, there would still be people who could do something so brutal. Massacre a village! I've only read about such things in textbooks, and now we're witnessing it firsthand. Even if they wanted to plunder food, their goal has already been achieved, yet they didn't spare a single person - truly a group of beasts. Those armed men were too cunning, not daring to clash with us, otherwise I would have made sure they had no way out." Liu Yuxin said with hatred.

  "Yes! I didn't expect that we would encounter such a thing as soon as we arrived, it seems that this place is not very peaceful after all. This country has been in a state of war for many years, and the peacekeeping troops have been stationed here for many years, they know the bottom line of the peacekeeping troops, basically they will not conflict with the peacekeeping troops, that's not a wise move."

  Back at the base, after settling everything, the Sha Huo members were preparing to take a good rest. Yin Zhilin's modified fruit phone received an email from Lu Xue, telling Xiao Shuai that she had been busy lately and hadn't had time to contact him, and also sent a photo. Xiao Shuai asked Yin Zhilin to find a printer, print out the photo, and put it in his pocket. Unable to see each other, they could only alleviate their longing through the photo.

  Several people had just lain down on their beds, preparing to sleep. The alarm suddenly sounded, this was the assembly call for all personnel, everyone within five minutes, fully dressed and assembled in the playground.

  A dispatcher commander wearing a colonel's epaulette rushed over, announcing the mission: "Comrades, our country's private entrepreneurs are trapped in area 1402. The other side has not used force yet and we don't know what their purpose is. The situation is very urgent, we have communicated with the government of that country and can use force if necessary. Now, please let the special forces comrades set out first and ensure the safety of the entrepreneurs."

  Xiao Shuai arrived at the command center to receive the regional map, then led the Sha Huo squad to set off. In order to hurry along the way, they did not choose to drive a car, but instead rode mountain motorcycles. In this country where basic infrastructure was largely destroyed, the mobility of motorcycles was indeed much better than that of cars.

  Li Gang was the best driver among them, and he was ordered by Xie Xiaoshuai to lead the way and scout ahead. The group then proceeded on the bumpy road, jumping forward from time to time. Although the motorcycle's maneuverability was very good, its maximum speed could only reach 40 kilometers per hour.

  After two and a half hours of rapid progress, several people arrived at their destination. Li Gang was already waiting for them here. Seeing their arrival, Li Gang hurried forward to report the situation he had investigated to Xie Xiaoshuai.

  "Captain, the situation is roughly clear. This is a power plant under construction, surrounded on all sides with only two gates for entry and exit. Currently, both gates have been blocked by people, but they seem to be waiting for something, just blocking those inside from coming out. However, these guys seem to be well-prepared, fully armed with light and heavy weapons, as well as rocket launchers. I'm afraid that once they receive the order, they will start a fierce attack. As for what's going on inside, I don't know if there are any armed forces."

  "Alright, let's go in first and talk later. Gather the people inside and defend together." Xie Xiaoshuai finished speaking, got on his motorcycle, and arrived at a place where the surrounding wall was slightly lower.
