215: Chapter 215 Anyone who disobeys, I'll throw her in!
Looking at the endless minefield, even Qin Feng felt cold sweat seeping from his back.
If he were to lead this group of female captives across it, they would likely be meeting their maker.
"The road ahead cannot be crossed." His voice was a bit dry.
"Why?" a female soldier asked anxiously, "We are clearly almost there!"
"Yeah, just the last little bit left!"
Qin Feng's gaze swept over each and every one of them, and finally, in a tone that sounded almost like a sentencing, he spat out two words.
"Minefield."
Boom!
These two words were like two heavy bombs exploding in everyone's minds.
Minefield?
The hope on the women's faces instantly faded, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and their teeth chattered.
Five kilometers!
A full five-kilometer minefield!
What did this mean?
It meant that death was right before their eyes.
The fire of hope that had just been ignited in them was instantly extinguished, leaving only overwhelming fear.
"No... impossible..."
"You're lying to us! You want to leave us here!"
A female soldier had an emotional breakdown and started screaming hysterically.
"Quiet!" Yaro sternly stopped her, her eyes clearly showing a bit more worry.
At this moment, everyone's gaze focused on Qin Feng simultaneously.
They thought of a terrifying possibility.
This Dragon Countryman was ruthless and murderous.
Would he... would he force us to use our bodies to clear a path of blood?
Once this thought arose, it was like wild grass growing madly, instantly occupying everyone's minds.
They subconsciously retreated and huddled together, like a flock of sheep pushed to the edge of a cliff.
Even Lanna could not remain calm at this moment.
She looked at the Chef's cold profile, and her heart sank bit by bit.
Throughout this journey, she had witnessed this man's coldness and ruthlessness; to achieve his goals, it was very likely he would stop at nothing.
Now, would they, this group of captives, become sacrificial lambs in his eyes? Including herself and Yaro.
Lanna's lips moved, a question swirled in her throat, but she couldn't bring herself to ask it.
Would he?
Would he really... do that?
The air seemed to have frozen, with only the wind howling in their ears like the whisper of death.
Dead silence.
An oppressive, dead silence enveloped everyone.
Qin Feng ignored their commotion and just quietly stared at the minefield, his brain racing.
Use human lives to fill it?
This thought flashed through his mind for an instant before he immediately extinguished it.
It wasn't that he had suddenly developed a saintly heart, but rather, looking at it from a purely utilitarian perspective.
These were all living military merit; they had reached the final step, and he would feel pained for a long time if even one died, let alone filling it with all of them?
That would be damn heartbreaking! He'd probably cry himself to fainting in the toilet when he got back!
No, absolutely not.
military merit! Must have military merit!
They all have to stay alive.
However, looking at these women who were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, Qin Feng knew that conventional threats were no longer useful.
He needed to use a more direct and brutal method to make them truly afraid.
What he needed was absolute obedience, tools who would never dare to go west if he pointed east.
Otherwise, if problems arose with these female captives during Mine Clearing, it would be a huge trouble.
Qin Feng's gaze swept through the crowd and finally landed on the team leader, Tuoya.
This woman had made the most small movements along the way, and the hatred in her eyes was the most intense.
Very good, it's her.
Under everyone's terrified gaze, Qin Feng moved.
He grabbed Tuoya by the hair and, like dragging a dead dog, forcibly dragged her out of the crowd.
"Ah—!"
Tuoya let out a shrill scream; the sharp pain from her scalp made her struggle desperately, her hands scratching wildly.
But Qin Feng's hand was like an iron clamp, not moving an inch.
Just like that, without a word, regardless of how Tuoya cried and screamed, he brutally dragged her to the edge of the minefield.
At this moment, everyone was scared senseless.
"No! Don't! Please!"
"Let me go! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Tuoya completely broke down.
She used her hands and feet to scramble, leaving a messy trail in the sand, her face covered in tears and snot; there was no trace of her previous defiance left.
"I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Please spare me!"
"I'll do anything you want! Just don't make me go Mine Clearing! Please!"
She begged incoherently, even starting to promise some blush-inducing conditions just to survive.
Qin Feng turned a deaf ear, directly throwing her in front of the minefield; one more step forward, and it would be the road to the afterlife.
The scent of death was so close that Tuoya was paralyzed with fear, lacking even the strength to cry, and her crotch grew warm as a foul, pungent odor instantly filled the air.
"Thump!"
Don't know who knelt down first, but immediately after, all the female captives fell to their knees one after another like dominoes.
"Please, spare us! I don't want to die yet!"
"We'll be obedient! We'll listen to everything you say!"
"As long as you let me live, I'll do anything! Please have mercy!"
They cried and shouted while kowtowing.
Even that last bit of so-called dignity was completely thrown to the back of their minds.
The actions of the man in front of them had completely broken down their psychological defenses.
Lanna's face was as pale as paper, and even her heart was in chaos.
But what could she say?
Go back? That was no longer possible.
No food, no water; turning back was a dead end.
Forward? It was an endless minefield.
Other than following this man, they had no way to survive.
Lanna's heart was ice cold; for the first time, she felt a sense of powerlessness.
Amidst the noisy crying and begging, Qin Feng snorted coldly.
He glanced at Tuoya at his feet with disgust and frowned.
"Noisy!"
"Listen well, all of you."
"I have no interest in having you die right now."
"But, from now on, whoever disobeys, plays little tricks, or affects me..."
His gaze turned icy cold, and he pointed to the calm stretch of sand ahead.
"I don't mind throwing her into the minefield!"
After finishing, he casually picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, weighed it, and then threw it forcefully towards a spot several dozen meters ahead.
The stone traced a parabola in the air and landed silently on the sandy ground.
Just in the next second.
Boom—!!!
A deafening roar suddenly exploded!
It was like a thunderclap on flat ground; the entire earth trembled because of it!
The explosion point kicked up a wave of air mixed with black smoke and sand, which rolled over and slapped against everyone's faces.
Tuoya, who was closest, was even flipped over by the shockwave, her mouth full of sand.
It wasn't over yet!
The explosion of that landmine seemed to have triggered some kind of chain reaction.
"Boom!"
"Boom-boom!"
Not far away, a few more explosions rang out one after another.
Although the power was not as great as the first one, the successive explosions were terrifying to watch.
Just a single stone had caused such a terrifying scene.
If a person were to walk on it... I guarantee you wouldn't even be able to find a complete bone.
