191: They strapped the explosives to the expert's body.

"Pick one of those old men and strap explosives to him, then strap some to one of our own men. If those people come chasing after us..." Brother Hu said, explaining his scheme.

"Good." Brother Lei thought the same thing.

They could not die here. If those people came chasing, they would use those Experts as shields; the Military Unit and the public security officers would surely be afraid to act rashly and would not dare to continue the pursuit.

In everything he did, he always left himself a way out.

Elder Lin and Elder Zhao saw a few people walking over aggressively, and Comrade Ning felt that something was amiss.

When he saw what was in their hands, Comrade Ning understood their intentions.

"What do you want to do?"

Comrade Zhou saw it and was greatly startled.

These are explosives? What do they want to do? Could it be that they want to blow them all up?

He absolutely could not die; he still wanted to live a good life.

Comrade Ning stretched out his hands, blocking Elder Lin and Elder Zhao.

"You are not allowed to hurt Elder Lin and Elder Zhao."

Someone walked forward and punched Comrade Ning directly to the ground.

"Old man, I didn't realize you were so loyal."

"Then strap these explosives to him..."

The man laughed and ordered.

Comrade Ning struggled, but how could one person fight against a whole group?

Elder Lin and Elder Zhao also stepped forward, wanting to help, but they were old, and these people were now filled with rage.

"Ah..."

"Don't hit Elder Lin and Elder Zhao."

Seeing the two Old Comrades getting beaten, Comrade Ning shouted.

"If we don't hit them, then we'll hit you. Beat him hard for me."

Comrade Ning was immediately subjected to a brutal beating by them.

Seeing this scene, Elder Lin and Elder Zhao, who were being held, felt incredibly angry and worried about Comrade Ning.

After seeing this scene, Comrade Zhou looked at the people opposite and also spoke up.

"Don't hit him."

Comrade Zhou was also hit a few times.

Comrade Ning was held at gunpoint, and the man sneered and said.

"If you move again, I'll blow your brains out with one shot..."

Soon, these people strapped the explosives to Comrade Ning, tied his hands, and two people pulled him along with a rope.

Elder Lin and Elder Zhao watched this scene, their hearts filled with worry.

"Elder Lin, Elder Zhao, don't worry, I'm fine."

It was just a bomb; he had long since put life and death out of his mind. These people would not have a good ending.

As long as Elder Lin and Elder Zhao were safe, that was all that mattered.

Seeing Comrade Ning like this, Elder Lin and Elder Zhao felt even more guilty.

"Comrade Ning, rest assured, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely find a way to save you."

Looking at Comrade Zhou, who was beaten black and blue, Comrade Ning gave a grunt of acknowledgement and did not say anything else.

"What should we do?"

Lin Da and Lin Shi also realized what that was at this moment.

Such a dangerous thing, strapped to Comrade Ning's body—Comrade Ning's life...

No, they had to find a way to rescue these Old Comrades.

Lin Da and Lin Shi had now realized something was wrong. They suspected that the comrades from the Military Unit and public security had arrived; otherwise, why were there more than ten people missing?

Although some were killed by animals, these people had stopped making any noise.

"The thing strapped to Comrade Ning is explosives, and we don't know how to defuse it."

"If only Uncle Lin were here."

"Maybe the public security comrades will come to save them."

The two of them were also incredibly panicked; these people were cold-blooded killers.

They kept acting very scared, not daring to let these people see that they had any thoughts of escaping; otherwise, these people would definitely attack them.

The reason these people hadn't killed them was also because this was a deep, remote mountain forest; if they didn't have them to lead the way, these people would definitely never get out.

"You said there is a river ahead? And there is only one stone bridge over the river?"

Brother Hu asked Lin Da and Lin Shi.

Along the way, they had been keeping records and had noted down these paths. After crossing this mountain, they would reach a river, and after crossing the river, there was another mountain.

"Yes."

Brother Hu asked many more questions, and Lin Da and Lin Shi answered them all.

Lin Da and Lin Shi watched Brother Hu and the others walk forward, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"Do you think they want to blow up that stone bridge?"

"Probably."

"How about we lead them on a detour?"

"Don't take a detour; if they find out, they will definitely kill us..."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing had already caught sight of these Thugs. They were quietly creeping forward, and the landmines were also quietly being collected by Xiao Niannian.

Lu Jing felt that something was wrong; their journey here had been too smooth. The enemy should still have some landmines in their possession. Why hadn't they discovered a single landmine now?

He cast his gaze toward Xiao Niannian in front, then withdrew his gaze.

Brother Lei looked behind him; there had been two subordinates burying landmines in the back, but now there was no movement from them either.

He would not send another subordinate to bury landmines. If the situation turned bad, he would take his subordinates and leave.

Although he didn't know the paths in these mountains, they had weapons, landmines, and hand grenades, so they would surely be able to walk out alive, even if they had to suffer a little.

"We didn't encounter any animal attacks today, that's fortunate."

"We've suffered a huge loss this time; we've lost over ten men."

"Those people behind might be captured by the Military Unit and public security."

"If those people come chasing, we'll just blow them to death..."

Xiao Niannian could hear people talking about twenty meters away.

Hearing them talk about blowing people up, Xiao Niannian immediately became alert.

This Brother Lei and his subordinates were very good at planting landmines and were also very proficient with explosives.

Could it be that they wanted to target the Experts?

Xiao Niannian thought of a possibility.

Could it be that they had strapped explosives to the Experts to threaten them?

If that was really the case, then they had to be very careful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and said.

"I've heard before that some people will strap explosives to themselves or others to threaten people..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing's expression instantly turned serious.

"I understand. Our people have seen the photos of those six, and the others have all committed many crimes... The order from above for these people is to shoot to kill..."

Lu Jing had also thought about this issue.

He and Instructor Qin had also discussed several countermeasures; no matter what, they had to bring the four Experts back safely. This was their mission, and they had to complete this mission successfully.

Military Doctor Shen stood to the side, listening to Xiao Niannian's words. He felt that Xiao Niannian would surely be a good commander in the future, as she considered many issues.

She was truly excellent; she was worthy of being the girl that Old Lu was so fond of.

After Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing discussed a few things, Xiao Niannian took the First Team and headed to the left. On the side she was taking now, Monkey King and the others had confirmed there were no landmines and no danger. She also brought a mine detector, intending to creep over quietly to check the situation at close range. She would act immediately when she had the chance.
