Chapter 46: Shelling

Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling's footsteps rustled on the pile of fallen leaves, and they could almost hear each other's breathing clearly, but other than that, there was no other sound in the woods.

The ghost aura in front gradually became thicker, but more of it was a faint mist, it was already afternoon at this time, and it was very unusual for such a scene to appear, Sun Yang carefully blocked Lu Xiaoling behind him, and walked in front by himself.

The two slowed down, turned a grove of trees, and a small village suddenly appeared in front of them.

The village was full of shadows, and there seemed to be people walking, but more often than not, there was a thick fog and ghostly atmosphere.

There was still no sound, and the silence was eerily silent.

Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling glanced at each other, the situation here was a little beyond their expectations, the people of the Special Case Administration Bureau had obviously blocked the road to here, but why, the village in front of them would become like this?

They tried to move on, when two heavily armed soldiers suddenly stood up in the bushes, their guns pointed at them.

Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling were stunned for a moment and had to raise their hands, but the other party just looked at them silently. One of the soldiers gently pressed the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, and after a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind the side, and two soldiers who were also wearing camouflage uniforms quietly touched them, silently signaling Sun Yang and them to move in the direction where the two of them came.

Everything was done quietly, and they carefully kept their distance from Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling, but the muzzle of the gun never left their bodies.

After walking about a hundred meters, they saw a wheeled armored vehicle painted in camouflage, and several officer-like people stood there whispering something.

One of the soldiers whispered: "Report, two suspicious people have been found trying to infiltrate the target area!" ”

"I'm an agent in the far mountains!" Sun Yang immediately cried out in a low voice, seeing the barbaric behavior pattern of the Jianghai Branch against the monks, he was very worried that in this extremely special situation, the other party would suddenly kill the two of them without interrogation.

"Far in the mountains?" The commander of the opposing party hesitated. "What are you doing here?"

"My ID is in my right breast pocket." Sun Yang first proved his identity. "We were looking for clues to a case, but we just happened to hear that there was a special situation here, so we came over to take a look."

"Sneaking in secretly?" The commander looked suspicious and flipped through his papers, then handed them to his men. "Check!"

A few minutes later, a message came back from the far side of the mountain, and the commander finally signaled for the soldiers who had been pointing guns at them to leave.

"Is that person bringing out such a person who doesn't know the rules?" He said in a low voice, but he should have been afraid of Long Qingting's identity, so he didn't say any more.

"There's going to be a clean-up operation here." He said to Sun Yang and them. "I don't care what case you're working on, that's the end of it. You can wait here for the operation to end, or you can leave immediately, I have only one request, take care of yourselves, don't get in the way! ”

Lu Xiaoling pouted slightly, and Sun Yang nodded: "Please rest assured, we won't get in the way." ”

The commander then left them alone, and the soldiers who were running around them paid no attention to them, and they could not even find anyone to inquire about the current situation.

There were woods in front of them, and they couldn't see the situation of the village before, but after a while, Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling were surprised to see a group of soldiers carrying some tubular weapons to the open space in front. It wasn't until they installed their weapons that they recognized that it was a mortar group that could often be seen in war movies.

"They're going to blow up that village!" Lu Xiaoling's face turned pale all of a sudden.

She suddenly ran towards the commander standing near the artillery group, Sun Yang was stunned for a moment, didn't hold her, and had to run after her.

"Wait! What are you going to do? Lu Xiaoling said to the commander and the second lieutenant in front of him.

The second lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then looked at the commander.

"Execute the order!" The commander said.

"Have you been to the village to investigate? What's going on inside? Lu Xiaoling asked.

The commander simply ignored her.

"Take her away and find a place to lock her up!" He said to the guard next to him.

Sun Yang stopped them.

Several guns were pointed at them at once.

"What do you two mean?" The commander's face turned blue all at once. "I have long heard that the people under Long Qingting are domineering, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"This is our own idea, and it has nothing to do with Director Long." Even at this time, Sun Yang didn't want Long Qingting to take the blame for himself. "We just want to know if there's any other course of action."

Lu Xiaoling may be impulsive, but Sun Yang's opinion is the same as her, there are at least thirty or forty houses in that village, which means that there are thirty or forty families living in them. They didn't see any sign of Luoyi entering the village to investigate, so they were ready to simply and rudely wipe out the village and solve the problem?

"I don't care what you usually do in the far mountains, this is Luoyi! How we deal with problems in Luoyi is our business! I warn you one last time, mind yourselves! ”

"You guys are sloppy with human life!" Lu Xiaoling couldn't help but say.

The commander's face twitched, and then he gave the order to the guards: "Arrest them both!" If you resist, shoot you on the spot! ”

The four soldiers raised their guns, there was no hesitation or doubt in their eyes, and Sun Yang had no doubt that they would really carry out such an obviously unreasonable order.

A soldier took out a lashing strap and was about to come over and grab their wrists, Lu Xiaoling scolded loudly: "Butcher! ”

"Maybe we can help." Sun Yang said, but the commander was not moved at all.

Lu Xiaoling's hands were pulled behind her back and twisted together, tied up with a lashing strap, and she wanted to say something, the soldier took out a black cloth, as if it was about to be stuffed in her mouth, she finally closed her mouth.

"Carry out the mission!" The Commander said again.

The second lieutenant began to issue firing to the artillery crew for a final check, when a soldier suddenly ran from the direction of the front line with a panicked face.

"What's wrong?" The commander asked.

"The fog is thickening again! We can't get in touch with the people in front! ”

"Fire!" The commander shouted.

"Launch!" The second lieutenant ordered.

The personnel quickly took position, shells sliding into the barrels of the cannons, and then quickly deactivated, flying over the woods in the direction of the village, and seconds later, the dull sound of explosions could be heard from a distance.

Lu Xiaoling's face became more and more pale, she bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly.
