Chapter 523 Explosives

A team member carried the person who was arrested at the beginning into the small room to count the number of people and asked him: "Are all the people here?"

The man's legs were shaking. He looked at the people in the room who were tied up and glaring at him. He couldn't even finish his words: "It's all... all here."

After a long trek and a day of lying in the woods in a state of high tension, everyone was now captured and felt a belated fatigue.

The captain left a few people to guard and patrol, and the rest went to rest.

He also had to capture this group of people and force them to extract some useful information.

As he was asking questions, the man who was arrested at the beginning suddenly remembered something and said in horror: "No, there is another one!"

At the same time, among those on patrol was Mu Xi.

The three of them patrolled around the mine. The bright flashlights looked like sharp lightsabers in the dark. They circled around the entire area and then planned to split up and circle again, for fear of missing any blind spots.

This time it was the time when day and night changed, and it would be daytime in a while. As long as they completed this shift, they could rest after night.

Mu Xi walked back and just saw the house when he vaguely saw a dark shadow crawling out from the mine in front and slowly approaching the house.

This direction was exactly the blind spot of the team members guarding the door of the house. Just as they were about to shout to warn them, they saw the man take something out of his arms and then ignite a tiny orange flame.

It's dynamite!

The moment the word "explosive" appeared in Mu Xi's mind, his pupils constricted. He drew his gun without hesitation and aimed it at the arm of the gangster who was about to throw the bomb.

Bang--

The sound of gunfire cut through the silent night sky, alarming everyone around.

The people in the house rushed out, and the people guarding the door turned around quickly.

The murderer was hit in the arm when he threw the bomb. The bomb that was originally thrown towards the house did not fly out along the original parabola, but fell on the open space between the house and the mine.

Mu Xi rushed over, grabbed the homemade explosive with a lit fuse, swung his long arm, and threw the explosive into the mine quickly and violently.

Boom————

The explosives exploded before they even reached the bottom of the pit, and the aftermath splashed the soil and gravel around the mine dozens of meters high!

Mud and gravel fell down, and everyone raised their hands to cover their heads, but the explosion still brought sharp tinnitus to their ears.

"Tie him up!"

The captain called some dumbfounded people nearby to tie up the assailant who threw the bomb. The direction where Mu Xi threw the bomb was exactly where the man was. The aftermath of the explosion not only splashed up mud, but also knocked the man unconscious.

"Are you okay?" The captain quickly stepped forward to check Mu Xi's physical condition.

Mu Xi shook his head, "I'm fine."

"...Good job!" The captain patted his arm, his eyes shining brightly. He looked at Mu Xi as if he was looking at some priceless treasure. As he patted him, his eyes were mixed with a hint of regret, which made him a little nervous.

The man was still unconscious. The captain walked over to take a look and saw that he was only a 20-year-old young man. He frowned, said nothing, and had him taken away for care.

The first person to be tied up was called Lao Hua. He swallowed and said, "This man was sent by God as punishment. Don't be fooled by his young age. He has a very evil temper. He usually doesn't want to live with us. He always sets up a tent in the woods by himself."

He still has some lingering fears when he mentions this person: "When this person first came, we thought he was just a young man in his 20s, so we didn't take him too seriously. There was one of our people among the miners, who had a bad temper. He was seen slacking off, and the man talked back a few times. This guy took out his gun and shot him dead."

The main thing is that he just killed the person, but where was the evil in that? The person he killed was not buried or burned. Instead, he tied the body up with a few sticks and placed it at the edge of the mine, warning the miners below to work hard.

The team members frowned when they heard this, and they couldn't believe that a boy who looked so immature could do such a thing.

But when they thought of the bomb just now, they had to believe it.

The captain tapped his fingers on the wooden table. "Lock that man up in solitary confinement and keep a close watch on him. Wait for the higher-ups to come and pick us up. This man is no ordinary person. He didn't show up until the daytime when people are most exhausted."

Like a poisonous snake lurking in a dark corner.

The captain asked Mu Xi to rest. He nodded, but walked out of the house and wanted to get some water to wash his face.

He was a little sleepy when he was patrolling, but after seeing the bomb he was no longer sleepy. All his sleepiness was awakened by that shock.

Xiao Zheng ran over, took a ladle and scooped water for him to wash his face, his eyes sparkling, "Brother Mu! You are so awesome! When the gun went off and I saw you flying out to grab the bomb and throw it out, I was stunned! How did you react? If it were me, I would probably have frozen in place."

It was a little chilly in the mountains in the early morning, and the water in the water tank was also icy cold. After washing my face, my confused mind became a little clearer.

"It's not as amazing as you say. It was just a subconscious reaction at the time. My body moved faster than my brain."

Given the power of the bomb, if it had not been thrown into that wide and deep mine pit, the entire house would have been blown down.

He felt a little panicked afterwards. If the bomb had exploded in his hand, he would probably have been torn into pieces.

In the afternoon, the captain received news that the pick-up plane had already taken off.

There is a large open space near the mine, which is large enough for the incoming plane to land. It was used to park various large trucks before the ground cracked.

All the hostages were taken to an open space and sat down.

But just before the plane arrived, the tied-up young man changed from his previous calmness and lay on the ground, twisting his body like a drug addict.

The captain was still instructing other team members on some things and didn't pay attention to the situation here.

The team member who was guarding him was a new member of the team this year, about 18 or 19 years old. He had experienced the suffering brought by the reactionary organization since he was a child, and he hated these people the most. After hearing about this person's bad behavior, he stood by and looked at the young man twisting on the ground with disgust.

"You can't break free from the metal handcuffs. Don't waste your time. Just stay here quietly..."

Before he finished speaking, a pungent smell of burning came from the twisting person...
