Chapter 551: Hungry Beasts

Apologize?

Apologize to the person from Hua Nation? It is f*cking ridiculous!

Mina couldn’t believe what she had just heard, but looking at Powell’s serious-looking face, she could tell that Powell wasn’t joking and was dead serious. She couldn’t ignore his order, so she gritted her teeth and apologized unwillingly to Xiao Luo. “I’m sorry, I was in the wrong earlier on.”

TWACK!

The sound of a slap resounded in the confines of the hut. It came without any warning, and Xiao Luo didn’t hesitate to do it for a second.

Mina was in total shock. All she could feel was that burning pain on the left side of her face. “You…” she cried.

Xiao Luo laughed as if nothing happened. “It’s alright, I’ll accept your apology,” he said.

Powell, along with the two of the members of the SEALs standing by the side, was stunned. They could have never imagined that Xiao Luo would slap Mina across her face.

“Mr. Mie, there’s no need for that! You’ve gone overboard!” Powell growled. He couldn’t allow the dignity of the SEAL team to be violated.

“I did?”

Xiao Luo couldn’t be bothered to pretend to be courteous to these American soldiers. “I don’t think I went overboard!” he replied.

“Jerk, I’m going to kill you!”

Mina has completely exploded at this point. Fueled with murderous intent, she grabbed the gun on her waist, pointed it at Xiao Luo, and pulled the trigger.

She pulled the trigger, but there was no gunshot. The bullet that was supposed to fly out and penetrate through Xiao Luo’s forehead was nowhere to be seen as well. After taking a closer look, she then realized that Xiao Luo had grabbed onto the tip of the gun tightly, preventing the gun from firing.

Huh?

Sarah Mich.e.l.le and two of the members of the SEAL team gasped. This was just too shocking and frightening. If they weren’t witnessing this in person, there was no way they would believe that anyone would attempt to prevent the gun from firing by doing something like this.

“Kill me? Are you sure you have what it takes to do so?”

Xiao Luo’s eyes were filled with killing intent, and everyone at the scene couldn’t help but feel a sense of chill. As soon as he finished saying that, the muzzle pointed upward and pointed at the hole right on top. The bullet that had yet to leave the barrel finally discharged with a loud bang.

Minna broke into a ma.s.sive, cold sweat. She had not realized the power of this person from the Hua nation until this very moment. Except for the word “monster,” she couldn’t come up with any other name to describe Xiao Luo. He was able to stop her from shooting in such an incredible way.

Powell unconsciously raised his submachine gun, but the next second he dismissed the idea and forced a smile. “Mr. Mie, this is all a misunderstanding. Mina was too impulsive just now,” he said.

“Mr. Mie…” Sarah also interceded with Xiao Luo on Mina’s behavior.

Actually, Xiao Luo’s aim was to support the Hua nation and trample on the SEALs’ dignity. Otherwise, these people from Mei Nation, especially this woman named Mina, were always eager to slander the Hua nation’s soldiers.

“Our missions are independent of each other–you are not responsible for me, and I am not obligated to you too. We should just perform our own respective duties and keep to ourselves. It’s best to maintain peace as long as we’re heading the same way, but if any one of you insists on making trouble, I’ll let you guys know that there is an enemy even worse than the Libyan rebel fighters here!”

Every single word of Xiao Luo touched the nerve of four SEALs. They really didn’t expect the person from Hua nation would be so dominant, brutal, and overbearing. Just because Mina abused him verbally, she was beaten up and slapped in the face.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

At that moment, the sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night.

Everyone in the room was shocked. Had Rice and his team made contact with the enemy?

Powell responded quickly and waved his hand. “Go on alert!” he cried.

With that, he took the lead and rushed out.

Mina and two other team members followed closely behind.

Sarah looked at Xiao Luo and said, “Mr. Mie, should we take a look?”

Xiao Luo nodded. “Let’s go,” he said.

Instead of relying on these soldiers from Mei Nation, he preferred to check out the real situation by himself.

…

…

The night was as black as pitch, deep and depressing.

Following the direction of the gunfire, Xiao Luo, Powell, and the SEAL team came to a bare hillside about a mile outside the village, where a bonfire was set up. A strong scent of the aroma of roast meat wafted through the air from that distance.

“What a delicious smell! There’s roast meat!”

Sarah swallowed her saliva as the smell was so appetizing that she even forgot about the sound of the gunfire.

Roast meat?

What kind of meat is it? Is it livestock’s meat?

If there were livestock, how come the villagers here were all skinny and weak from hunger?

And what about the sound of gunfire?

That was clearly the sound of a shot from a 45mm pistol produced by Mei nation, which meant that it was the Mei nation’s soldier who pulled the trigger!

Who were they trying to shoot? The enemy or the villagers here?

Xiao Luo’s forehead knotted in a frown, and an extremely nasty feeling came over him.

A dozen bodies were lying near the bonfire, all of them from the village. And it was Rice and another SEAL who fired the shots.

“Rice, what’s going on? Why did you shoot them?”

Powell looked at him anxiously and asked, “I told you to find Hebrew and Adolf. Where are they?” His last words were even like a growl.

Rice’s face was ghastly white. He pointed to the two naked bodies lying by the bonfire and said, “Aren’t they right here?”

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the heads of the bodies were missing. They were disemboweled, and the thighs were missing as well. Then they chunks of meat being roasted on the bonfire on sticks, and they knew that they were chunks of human thighs cut into pieces.

Were these villagers roasting human flesh to eat here?

Every one of them shuddered and felt a chill run down their spines!

Rice recalled with horror. “When I found them, the villagers were chopping off their bodies piece by piece, roasting it and eating it,” he said, “The villagers dumped their heads in a ditch over there. I never expect them to suffer such a tragic death!”

” WEKK ”

A surge of nausea rose from Sarah’s gut, and she turned her back and retched violently. Remembering that she thought it was so appetizing just a moment ago when she learned that the roasted meat was actually human flesh, her stomach churned continually, and she couldn’t keep it in.

“Devils, these devils are cannibals!”

As she vomited, she denounced the villagers with revulsion. “How could they do such a thing? It’s so inhumane!” she cried.

Although Xiao Luo was shocked by the inhumanity of cannibalism, he thought it was natural. “A hungry man is no different from a wild animal,” he opined.

His forebodings had been justified. The village had problems, so did the villagers, and that was why he sensed the strange atmosphere hanging over the village.

Powell was going crazy. “How could those f*cking wretched villagers kill Hebrew and Adolf? Where did they have the means? F*ck!”

“Captain, we didn’t even think these villagers would attack us,” Rice responded, disclosing the cause of the trouble.

Powell was furious. “Where are the other villagers? Where are they!” he scowled.

“The villagers have already run away. They were all sitting around here eating. When they saw us shoot and kill some of them, they ran away.”

Powell roared in murderous fury. “Find them all! Kill them to avenge Hebrews and Adolf! he ordered.
