Chapter 539: Impersonate
Sarah was amazed as she looked at what seemed like wisps of steam released from Xiao Luo’s body. It was a pity that she dropped the only camera that she had with her because she wanted to record this scene. To think that such skillful martial arts experts actually existed in a country rich in history like Hua Nation! This was simply too unbelievable.
The burn injury on his chest was a lot less painful after meditating for a while. Soon, Xiao Luo opened his eyes, walked toward the faucet, and carefully washed. At that moment, he could hear very faint footsteps coming from a hundred meters away, and he could determine that there were two intruders.
Why was it that they just never learned?
Xiao Luo glanced toward where the footsteps were coming from. These were clearly from Khun Sa’s mercenary group that had split up to search for him and Sarah, the American reporter. Splitting up their soldiers was actually a good thing for him, as now, he could take them down separately.
“Wait here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll go take a look and be back soon,” he said to Sarah before bounding out of the abandoned factory like a cheetah.
“Take care of yourself, Mr. Mie!” Sarah shouted with concern as she looked at the back view of Xiao Luo as he left their hideout. She wasn’t sure what was going on, but she was certain that it wasn’t anything good.
Xiao Luo returned a little later, carrying two muscular men on his shoulders. There were coils of hemp ropes lying in the abandoned factory, and he used them to bind their hands and legs together. He then poured some cold water on their faces, and they woke up immediately.
“Mie?!”
Both of them started to look a little bit worried after realizing that it was Xiao Luo. They had been tasked with carrying out reconnaissance in the area, and before they knew it, they lost control of their bodies and collapsed on the ground. All they could remember was seeing sand-colored military boots next to their faces just before losing consciousness.
“Tell me. What are your code names?” Xiao Luo said, staring down at them with cold, unblinking eyes.
The men looked at each other and didn’t say anything. Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs, and they were desperately trying to untie the hemp rope.
Xiao Luo squinted his eyes a little and took an ominous step forward before he stomped on the instep of one of the muscular men.
CRUNCH!
Under Xiao Luo’s foot, the man’s boots were literally flattened, crushing all his toes and breaking every bone in them, as fresh blood slowly seeped out from the seams of the boot. The man screamed in excruciating pain and was close to passing out.
Xiao Luo glared at the man, and his face was cold as ice. “Do you want me to ask you one more time?” he said.
Sarah gasped. She never imagined that such a polite, amiable, and good-natured man from Hua Nation could be this cruel and ruthless when he interrogated his captives. And how powerful he was, for the boots the man wore had a steel plating to protect their toes from falling heavy objects. When Xiao Luo stepped on those boots, the steel plate was crushed along with the toes they were meant to protect. This man was as powerful as a hydraulic press machine. How terrifying he was!
“My code name is Hyena!”
Seeing what had happened to his companion, who was still screaming in pain, the man beside quickly revealed his code name.
“What is yours?” Xiao Luo asked the muscular man in front of him as he took his foot off.
The front half of his foot was crushed, and the pain was unbearable. The facial muscles on this muscular man’s face kept twitching. His entire body was drenched in a cold sweat, and he was trying his best to speak. “Ly… Lynx…” he mumbled.
“What about the code names of your leaders?”
“Evil Dragon and Skeleton!”
“How do you guys address Khun Sa?”
“We call him Boss.”
Both of them told him everything they knew after witnessing his cruelty. They initially thought that Xiao Luo would spare their lives, but after answering all his questions, Xiao Luo sent them to hell with just two strikes. He stomped on their temples with shattering force, pulverizing their heads into a paste-like substance and killing them on the spot.
It was way too cruel!
Sarah was utterly horrified.
She opened her mouth, and it took a while before she could form the words. “Mr. Mie, people of your nation, have always treated others with courtesy and respect, and virtue has always been the cornerstone of your culture. But you don’t seem like that kind of person,” she said.
“If your opponent is armed with a lethal weapon, even a saint would wield a butcher’s knife!”
Xiao Luo smiled wryly and said, “America claims that they are guardians and emissaries for maintaining world peace, yet they are always starting wars. Can you kindly explain the rationale behind that to me?”
“Are you referring to the Iraq war? That’s only because they owned many weapons of mass destruction and were also secretly supporting the terrorists. America had to do this to maintain peace and stability in the world,” Sarah replied.
“It seems like your country has done a really successful job at brainwashing you.” Xiao Luo sneered. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about these international affairs. Check and see which of their fatigues fit you better. Then take them off and change into that outfit.”
“Mr. Mie, they’re already dead. We should respect the dead. Isn’t taking their outfits off a little bit too much?” Sarah argued.
“Too much?”
Xiao Luo couldn’t help but find it amusing. “What does that even mean?” he said.
“Humanitarianism,” Sarah replied, somewhat righteously.
“Then, to hell with your humanitarianism!”
Xiao Luo was not in the mood and responded with a vicious remark, and he then walked over to the corpses and removed their uniforms. He tossed one set at Sarah and kept the other for himself. He then spent eight hundred points and purchased the ability to impersonate someone else’s voice from the system.
Right at that moment, a voice could be heard coming from the walkie-talkie.
“Evil Dragon for Lynx. Evil Dragon for Lynx. If you can hear this, please respond. If you can hear this, please respond…”
It was a person with a really hoarse voice, and Sarah was so shocked that she held her breath. Xiao Luo calmly grabbed the walkie-talkie and replied, “Lynx here. What are our leader’s instructions for me?”
Hmm?
Sarah’s eyes were wide open, and the color on her face changed. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was witnessing the voice coming out of Xiao Luo’s mouth, she would have thought that the mercenary with the code name “Lynx” had been resurrected.
Oh my god… Mie could actually impersonate someone else’s voice?!
She found it really hard to believe. It was as if Xiao Luo was performing some kind of magic for her right now.
“Lynx, did you guys manage to find anything over at your side?” the hoarse voice came across the walkie-talkie once again.
“No, nothing out of the ordinary here!” Xiao Luo answered.
“Then continue searching. As soon as you find something, report immediately.”
“Understood.”
Xiao Luo quietly hung up the walkie-talkie.
He turned his head around and looked at Sarah. “Are you not going to put on that outfit?” he asked.
There was probably a miniature tracking device on these outfits and equipment used to identify their own people. Xiao Luo couldn’t be bothered to look for the tiny tracking device and put on the fatigues and gear as though they belonged to him. To be blunt and honest, as long as they didn’t get too close, there was no way they could tell that they were impersonators.
Sarah came to her senses, quickly took off the dirty camouflage coat she was wearing, and changed into the mercenary’s outfit. It didn’t really fit her well as it was a man’s outfit, but it still looked fine as long as she pulled the trousers and sleeves up a little.
“I hate the sweaty smell on this outfit!” Sarah complained.
Xiao Luo glanced at her with a laugh. “You can enter a garbage dump, but you can’t stand the sweaty smell of a man?” he said.
“Mr. Mie, that’s not the same. I was trying to protect my own life back there.”
“You’re doing this to protect your own life now as well.”
“Are we preparing to leave Brewer City by impersonating as their members?”
“No, I want to get rid of Khun Sa first before we leave.”
“What?”
The look on Sarah’s face changed. “Mr. Mie, are you crazy?” she cried.
