Chapter 495 - : Breaking Free From the Shackles

Chapter 495: Breaking Free From the Shackles

Xiao Luo's hands were tied behind his back, and they brought him into a six-seater military vehicle. Two fully armed soldiers were in the back guarding him, along with Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei.

"I've always respected soldiers because they're a group of people who contribute without asking for anything in return, and they silently protect this country and its citizens. But you guys are the black sheep of the military," Xiao Luo said.

The faces of the two soldiers beside him changed a little. They knew what they were doing, and all the more understood what their commander Zhuo Yuze's motive was. There was nothing to be proud of having mobilized a fully armed platoon just to deal with a mere citizen, as well as taking his girl as a hostage. It was just despicable and shameless. But as soldiers themselves, they didn't have a choice either as following orders was something they had to do.

Zhuo Yuze, who was sitting in the middle, immediately got up. He gave Xiao Luo a good slap across his face.

SLAP!

It stung. Zhuo Yuze glared at Xiao Luo and said, "Brat, when you're with me, you better remember, if I do not allow you to say anything, then you better keep your mouth shut!" He then glanced at Zhuo Wei feeling good about himself. "Brother, what kind of dog sh*t is this? Are you sure he was the one who broke your arm? Why did he turn into a dog all of a sudden?" he mocked.

Zhuo Wei giggled. "No matter how cocky or arrogant he is, he won't have the guts to jump and hop around in front of you, brother," he said.

Xiao Luo sneered in his heart. He closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the urge to kill them where they sat.

There were another two vehicles behind their military truck. They headed directly toward the Xiahai Military Region headquarters located in the suburbs. Soon, they were passing through Wild Wolf Mountain. The road was narrow with the mountain wall on one side and on the cliff on the other. The route was sure to make any newbie driver tremble in fear.

Zhuo Yuze handed a piece of paper to Xiao Luo and said, "Sign your name here. You will then be inducted into the military system and shall become a glorious soldier from then on."

After listening to the word "glorious," the faces of the two soldiers who were sitting beside Xiao Luo turned a little red.

Xiao Luo kept his eyes closed and ignored him. He couldn't be bothered to answer a guy who was going to die soon.

Suddenly, the handphone inside his pocket started ringing.

He opened his eyes, turned his head toward one of the soldiers beside him, and said, "Please help me pick up the phone!"

The soldier hesitated a little, and although he was within Zhuo Yuze's sight, he still took out the handphone from Xiao Luo's pocket nonetheless and went ahead to receive the call.

"Xiao Luo, where are you right now?" Su Li's anxious voice could be heard coming from the handphone.

"I'm inside a military vehicle right now."

Xiao Luo took a look at the documents that Zhuo Yuze handed over. He laughed playfully and said, "Seems like they're trying to recruit me into the military."

"You try to hold them off for now. I'll think of something and come save you. What these people are doing is kidnap! I'll be sure they send you back in one piece," Su Li said.

"You don't have to do that. I'll be back in just a bit. Right, I'm guessing Gu Qianxue must have taken care of the hooligans who barged their way into your apartment?" Xiao Luo asked.

"Yeah, she's already dealt with them," Su Li replied.

A smirk could be seen coming from the corner of Xiao Luo's mouth. A murderous intent started exuding from his body. "That's great!"

The next second, the rope that bound him burst apart, and he was suddenly free.

The two soldiers right beside him were shocked. With just his brute strength alone, he had managed to rip the coir rope that would easily keep two adult men restrained. What kind of monster was this?

Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei were equally shocked as well. They refused to believe what they had just witnessed.

"It's my turn."

Xiao Luo sneered. He was like a devil that had broken free from his shackles. His entire body was filled with a murderous aura.

The two brothers, Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei, didn't even have the time to react as Xiao Luo grabbed them by their necks. His five fingers were so strong that they felt like steel pliers. He held tightly onto their trachea and esophagus. Forget screaming; even breathing became difficult all of a sudden! Their faces turned red immediately, like a pig's liver.

The driver was surprised and stepped on the brakes immediately. At the same time, he shouted into the walkie talkie that was equipped inside the vehicle: "There's a problem here, there's a problem here, the target has broken free, he's grabbing the commander's neck and choking him now."

The two soldiers who were beside Xiao Luo were about to take action.

"Don't forget your commander is in my hands now, just a light pinch, and he is going to die!" Xiao Luo warned, giving the soldiers a grim smile.

The two of them were stunned, and in that moment of hesitation, Xiao Luo let go of Zhuo Yuze and Zhou Wei's neck. He decided to take care of those two soldiers before he had some fun with Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei later.

Thump! Thump!

He smacked their shoulders with open-handed strikes that hit them like a blunt knife, and the two soldiers fainted immediately. Xiao Luo decided not to kill them since both of them didn't really do anything too cruel.

The driver was so scared that he had already opened the door and ran out of the truck. The soldiers in the other two vehicles behind seemed to be aware of what was going on. A troop of soldiers got out of those vehicles and pointed their assault rifles at Xiao Luo.

"Let go of our commander. Otherwise, we're going to shoot!" The soldier at the front shouted with a loud and clear voice.

Xiao Luo looked at Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei, who were both coughing violently. He opened the door and strolled out of the vehicle.

Just when Zhuo Yuze thought he would surrender himself, Xiao Luo surprisingly charged toward his platoon like a cheetah.

The soldier right in front was shocked. The murderous aura coming from Xiao Luo's body indicated that danger was imminent. He screamed and shouted loudly: "Open fire, shoot and kill this guy!"

Bang, bang, bang!

All of a sudden, sparks were flying in all directions. Bullets were all over the place, and like flame moths, a countless number of shots scattered in the path of Xiao Luo as if he was inside a zone of shells.

"Just die! I was worried I wouldn't have to chance to kill you. But not anymore. Attacking the commander who tried to recruit you on behalf of the country, this crime alone is enough for you to die, hahaha…" Zhuo Yuze howled derisively and started laughing.

Zhuo Wei said, "That fool, he actually walked right into those bullets! Brother, thank you for your help."

"We're brothers. Whoever has the guts to bully you is just courting death!" Zhuo Yuze said, his eyes gleaming with pride.

The gunshots stopped after a couple of seconds. Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei got out of the vehicle and was sure that no matter how capable Xiao Luo was, he would surely be dead this time. His body was going to be riddled with holes like a honeycomb, thanks to the hail of bullets. But they were dumbfounded as soon as they got out of the vehicle to take a look. All the soldiers were lying sprawled on the ground; not a single one was on his feet.

Huh?

The two brothers gasped. This was a platoon of soldiers, and they were armed with assault rifles. How was it possible that all of them were lying on the ground? What in the world happened here?

Xiao Luo was the only guy standing, and Zhuo Yuze was staring at his back, dumbfounded. He mumbled to himself in trepidation, and his face was pale with fear. Cold sweat started dripping like spring water, for he realized a problem here—this guy was an extremely terrifying person.

"Commander Zhuo, are you still thinking of recruiting me?"

Zhuo Yuze suddenly heard a voice right next to his ear, and a hand was resting on his shoulder. He took a good look, and it was Xiao Luo! He was standing beside Zhuo Yuze, and he somehow got there without making a single sound at all.

Oh, God, how… how was this possible…

He looked at the spot where Xiao Luo was just moments ago and took another look at Xiao Luo, who was standing right beside him now. His face turned pale.

Zhuo Wei was so scared he was already sitting on the ground, and he looked at Xiao Luo with trembling eyes.
