Mercenary's War-Chapter 2112 - 2089: A Joke

Lilia wasn’t very afraid, her fearlessness stemming from ignorance. She couldn’t immediately comprehend what a missile landing nearby meant. Once she understood, her fear wouldn’t leave her paralyzed.

What does a ground-to-ground tactical missile landing nearby mean? Of course, it means nothing remains.

Because they knew what a missile landing nearby meant, Gao Yang and the others were scared stiff.

Imagine it: a dark cylinder crashing nearby, and upon closer look, it’s a big smoking missile. The psychological impact is unbearable for those who understand.

Lilia finally understood what happened. She stared blankly at the missile, her face turning ghostly pale.

Gao Yang swallowed hard, subconsciously trying to move back, but his brain was ahead of his legs, which were shaking uncontrollably.

The missile’s tail section was smoking continuously.

Gao Yang’s voice quivered, "It’s smoking."

Cui Bo said, dismayed, "Run!"

"We can’t."

Phoenix looked serious. She started crawling sideways and said in a low voice, "Crawl!"

Wizard, with shaky hands, wiped his face before leaning forward. He eventually crawled on the ground, muttering, "F**k! F**k! Damn it..."

Wizard switched to German, which Gao Yang couldn’t understand. Cui Bo motioned to Lilia and walked to her, pulling her by the shoulder, "Let’s go, hurry up, we can’t stay here."

Gao Yang took a deep breath and slowly backed away. The initial fright ebbed, and he finally could move.

"Wizard, Rabbit, is that a Dot ballistic missile?"

"I don’t know, I can’t look."

Wizard trembled, "Yes, U-Dian."

"Does the Dot have a delayed detonation warhead?"

"I don’t know, can’t remember. Maybe? Does it?"

As they spoke, their bodies regained strength, and crawling at first, they all stood and began running. Fear was replaced by survival instinct, and the five started sprinting.

They ran faster until it was a desperate race. No one knew how far they’d gone when Gao Yang halted, lying on the ground, panting, "It’s over, F**k! It’s over!"

Wizard gasped, taking out a satellite phone, dialing shakily, "Hello, we’ve encountered a missile attack, F**k! We’ve been hit by a tactical ground-to-ground missile! Dot! Right near the heavy artillery battalion position!"

After hurriedly speaking, Wizard paused, breathing heavily, "I’m speaking, so I’m alright. How far? Less than twenty meters! It didn’t explode! Thank God!"

Wizard tossed the phone aside, lying flat and yelled, "Thank God! We didn’t die, didn’t die..."

Wizard nearly cried, already choking up.

The chance of a ground-to-ground tactical missile landing nearby is small, bigger than a meteor hit, but still small. And a non-exploding missile is akin to being struck by a meteor, which Gao Yang and the others just experienced.

Usually silent, Phoenix now quivered, "Did we just witness a miracle?"

"I have a tough life!"

After speaking, Gao Yang gritted his teeth, "I’m tough! Not even this can kill me. You should thank me!"

Cui Bo laughed foolishly, "I remember a joke. An artillery unit was rehearsing with live rounds, and a shell landed in a cabbage field..."

Gao Yang angrily, "It’s not funny! Stop!"

Cui Bo shut his mouth, but Wizard trembled, "Finish the joke, I want to hear it."

"Alright, the shell landed near a cabbage thief, who said, ’I just steal cabbages, do you need artillery fire?’ Haha, haha, hahaha..."

Listening to Cui Bo’s awkward laughter, Wizard sighed, "That’s a good joke, but your delivery is bad."

Silence followed, then a loud explosion. Gao Yang muttered, "A missile, definitely a missile. Was it the one just now?"

"No, much further away."

Wizard replied, exhaling, "Damn, they started using tactical missiles." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Gao Yang, feeling restored, inhaled deeply, "Let’s go, hurry up, F**k! We’ve weathered many storms, but nearly got bombed here. Can’t stay in this damned place any longer, hurry up!"

Though they intended to leave, none moved. After some silence, Cui Bo cautiously, "Shouldn’t a delayed fuse have exploded by now?"

"Should have, a delayed fuse shouldn’t last this long, it’s been nearly ten minutes."

"Damn, special runway-busting warheads can delay for two hours."

"This a runway? Is there an airport? Need a delayed fuse?"

Listening to Gao Yang and Cui Bo argue, Wizard calmly, "Not a delayed fuse, I think it’s just a malfunction."

"Malfunction!"

Phoenix succinctly, "We got lucky!"

Once more, they fell silent. After a while, Cui Bo tentatively, "If it isn’t a delayed fuse, and not a chemical warhead, do you want to go back and look?"

"What’s there to see! Trying to get killed?"

Harshly reprimanding Cui Bo, Gao Yang knew reason dictated leaving quickly, but he shared Cui Bo’s curiosity to see the missile that nearly killed them.

"But if it’s a malfunction, an unexploded ordnance, staying should be safe, right? Should we go back?"

Wizard said deeply, "Want to go back? Got anything urgent?"

"No, nothing urgent. But should we wait longer?"

"Yes, wait a bit longer, to be safe."

They fell silent again, after a while, Gao Yang whispered, "Guys, I suggest this incident can be shared, but our reactions must remain unspoken, agree?"
