The surrounding soldiers were already taken care of by the invading troops. A dozen enemies fired with their guns at the Medic Station as a military jeep drove inside with a sturdy man donned in mercenary-like clothing. He signaled with his hand, following which those dozen troops fired at the jeep behind which Xiao Chu was hiding.
Gunshots flashed all around while only whizzing sounds of bullets were audible.
Though the jeep was quite durable, it couldn't endure this kind of concentrated fire. Xiao Chu, as well as the two other soldiers, couldn't even take a peek outside nor counterattack.
One of the soldiers asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"
Xiao Chu was a first-rate soldier on the frontier, an Inner Strength expert, and a Soldier King, but he too was helpless at the moment. His face turned grim. They could only wait for the enemy fire to weaken right now and look for an opportunity to strike back.
However, a strange spinning sound reached their ears after that. They bowed down and saw a grenade roll under the vehicle.
This scared the wits out of Xiao Chu and the others.
"Run!"
The three of them rolled away, after which the jeep exploded up a meter high then smashed down to the ground in flames due to the explosion.
The fuel tank got ignited due to the flames and thus caused another loud explosion.
The invading troops dashed inside with machine guns in hand. The two soldiers accompanying Xiao Chu were killed in the explosion while Xiao Chu couldn't regain his senses for a while due to feeling dizzy.
Those desert troops rushed in and surrounded the Medic Station.
The troops brought everyone outside.
The person in mercenary clothes gave the order, "Detain them all in the vehicle."
"Nooo!"
"Release me!"
Du-Du-Du!!!
That mercenary fired towards the sky when he saw some of them struggle, "Kill anyone who resists…"
Boom!
A mushroom-shaped dust cloud came into view at a distance.
This wasn't from a grenade, so it was either a rocket or artillery shell.
"Oh my god. That's the Garrison's Command Center."
The troops laughed. Some of them were quite excited, "Looks like it went smoothly."
"Quickly get them into the vehicle!"
It looked like the bad luck of Jiang Xiu's group still hadn't ended. They were placed in the vehicle then taken into the desert once again.
Qiu Yinru asked, "Jiang Xiu, what's happening?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head, expressing that he didn't know anything about it.
"Why didn't you resist them? They shouldn't be a match for you."
"They have guns!"
You damn swindler, giving this excuse again. You said the same last time, but even the golden giant was unable to defeat you, so there's no way you are afraid of guns. She was suspicious as Jiang Xiu could easily escape from the enemy's clutches, yet he got kidnapped willingly.
Xie Ting said, "I believe Big Brother Jiang wants to meet Meng Du, right?"
Jiang Xiu just smiled in response to that.
There were several vehicles behind them. It appeared that many people were caught. By taking a rough look, the numbers were somewhere around a hundred, but the reason they were captured wasn't clear yet.
"Stop speaking!" The soldier in charge of watching over them berated.
"Why did you grab us?" Jiang Xiu asked.
"No reason. The General wishes to make an example out of you…"
"So, it was to show off your strength. But what's the use of catching ordinary people like us?" Her expression was quite calm, void of any worry.
That soldier's gaze wandered on Xie Ting's attractive figure for a while before grunting, "It's not just you, we also grabbed the commander of the garrison, Wu Guiyong."
The explosion which had occurred back then was due to this.
"What?!"
The female military doctor who was in the car too cried out in surprise.
"Hah! Are you scared now?"
…
Soon after, they reached the destination. As the soldiers were driving vehicles, it made sense that the location was near. An ancient desert castle came into view at a distance. Once the vehicles entered inside, armed soldiers led them inside.
It was quite noisy inside.
"This is Meng Du's base?"
After going inside, Jiang Xiu saw a white-haired old man donned in military clothing there. His uniform was full of medals, and several people were guarding him.
"Hahaha…"
"Commander Wu, it's been a while."
A middle-aged man walked out along with a cheerful smile on his face. He too was donned in military attire, but his dress was quite shabby. He carried himself in a domineering manner and looked of mixed descent with an unusually pretty face.
He had a stone in his left hand.
"Longevity Stone!"
Jiang Xiu's gaze brightened after seeing that stone. The stone in that man's hand was releasing a faint blue light resembling river water. It appeared quite magical.
"Meng Du!"
"You have huge guts. You actually dared to capture me?"
"What? You think you are someone amazing? So what if this Daddy captured you? You think you can still act arrogant when you are this Daddy's prisoner? Tone down or I'll blow a hole in you."
Wu Guiyong's face turned ashen. He didn't say anything else.
"Do you want to know why this Daddy grabbed you?"
Wu Guiyong nodded.
"Because of those people from Heaven's Gate came over from overseas. You also know they hate you, Chinese citizens, the most, but they can't do anything. So, I decided to prove to them that I, Meng Du, can do what they can't do."
This region which he was occupying was a plain at the border region. As for the Heaven's Gate, their central area of operation was Europe.
"Come, take a look at the show…"
Inside the camp, a middle-aged man sat there with hands behind his back. He had a grim appearance, and his brows were full of dignity. He furrowed his brows while watching these group of people being escorted inside by the troops.
"Zhou Hao, do you give up now?"
"Hahahaha…"
Meng Du chuckled. He came to his seat and sat down, feeling quite proud of himself.
Many guns were pointing towards the region the captives stood.
When the man called as Zhou Hao saw Wu Guiyong among them, his facial expression turned ugly. He smiled coldly, "General Meng's troops are indeed valiant."
"However, we are here to discuss martial arts today, so we have to battle through it. Your army can't appear in a large city."
The pride on Meng Du's face vanished slowly.
"Who is coming from your Heaven's Gate?"
Zhou Hao shook his head, "I also don't know, but since Heaven's Gate wishes for General Meng to pay allegiance to it, they will definitely send a person who can compare to General Meng."
There was a 60-year-old, eccentric old man at Meng Du's side, "Heaven's Gate talks quite big. However, after seeing the strength of General Meng's army, I'm afraid that person won't dare come here."
The others were puzzled as well. Heaven's Gate had sent a representative, but he hadn't shown up till now.
Zhou Hao got enraged, "You dare to act so disrespectfully towards Heaven's Gate?"
"Just wait till the person comes. We'll see whether you'll still laugh after that."
Jiang Xiu was stunned to discover that they were mere bait for Meng Du to show off.
"Wu Guiyong, you know my rules, right?"
Wu Guiyong shook his head.
"It's quite simple. Your group will send a person to fight against my person. If you lose, I'll kill a person. If you win, I'll let a person go…"
Jiang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head. It was the same stereotype again. Meng Du's little brother, Meng Fei also liked to play like this, considering the lives as a game and got off the pleasure of dominating over the life and death of others.
"Commander, let me go!"
Genuine experts didn't like to stay at the border region, but that didn't mean the army lacked experts. This man looked around 40 and had several gunshot wounds on his body.
"Be careful!" Wu Guiyong warned him.
This man was called Baili Lingfeng, a valiant leader under Wu Guiyong.
"Arhat, come out!"
This Arhat wasn't a real arhat. He had dark skin and seemed like a person from Southeast Asia.
"Please!"
Wu Guiyong's face turned uglier after the match began.
Baili Lingfeng was wounded in the all-army competition and also had gunshot wounds on him. The most repulsive fact was that Arhat was acted shamelessly by attacking Baili Lingfeng's injured left leg again and again.
Arhat's offense became wilder.
Baili Lingfeng did his best to keep his eyes open, but he was bleeding too heavily and couldn't see clearly.
Xie Ting asked Jiang Xiu quietly, "Big Brother Jiang, who do you think will win?"
Jiang Xiu gazed at them, "Both of them are Supreme Stage experts and possess the same levels of power and strength. However, Baili Lingfeng is injured while Arhat is full of energy and also has a mental advantage so he ought to win."
The result came out quickly!
Baili Lingfeng lost!
"Geugh!"
Arhat kicked Baili Lingfeng's chest, causing it to cave in and also result in his clothes getting shredded.
A footprint was left behind there.
Those who witnessed this felt goosebumps all over.
The kick had broken the ribs, so there was no doubt that the man's organs were injured.
Baili Lingfeng fell unconscious.
"Wu Guiyong, how about it? Since you lost, you must pay. Someone's going to die now…" Meng Du was indeed quite a perverted and sinister man. He actually closed his eyes and pointed the gun towards the group, causing them to cry out in alarm as no one would know who would die.
Bang!
The bullet pierced through one of them, leaving behind a pool of blood.
"Alright, next round…"
The group turned silent. They looked at that devil-like man in alarm.
"I'll do it!"
Jiang Xiu stated then slowly walked out of the group.
