walked up to Asan’s corpse looking distraught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing there in a daze for a while, he finally turned to the soldier who was left to care for Asan and asked, “What did his gesture mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He killed four people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking one last time at Asan, he turned and left the barracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to do there or what to say to Asan’s dead body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Asan’s death wasn’t particularly shocking; too many people had died that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one chose to take up arms and fight, death in battle couldn’t be considered an accident anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gao Yang could remain indifferent to the death of others, Asan’s death felt like a lump of cotton was stuck in his throat, making even breathing difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang made his way back toward the main battlefield, the beach, looking to find something to do that might relieve the sadness and anger in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once he arrived at the beach, he realized he didn’t know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maide had charisma; he could gather a Skull Gang out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Maide’s management skills were nothing to boast about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Maide was seriously injured and Abu went missing, the vast Skull Gang couldn’t find a single person to take up the responsibility of command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with, but Gao Yang just couldn’t bring himself to care about any of it; Asan’s death made him indifferent to everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he was only responsible for training as an instructor, and they had already fulfilled their duties well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Engaging in combat and commanding troops were not part of their obligations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gao Yang, those who didn’t know what to do next finally found their backbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people ran up to Gao Yang and asked him what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This roused Gao Yang’s somewhat deflated spirit reluctantly back into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long sigh, he began to issue a string of orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gather up the bodies of the attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See if there are any survivors, and if so, bring them to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send a few people to find Abu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he’s dead, let me know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he’s still alive, have him come to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send some people to clean up the battlefield to the east of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you find any wounded enemies, bring them to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assigning tasks to the people around him, Gao Yang spoke in a grave tone through the radio, “Everyone, report your current situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toad here, there’s no abnormality in the east of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m in position with my men, and Little Fly is here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, there’s no sign of the enemy returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve sent out scouts, but for safety’s sake, please send at least two heavy machine guns over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rabbit here, there’s nothing unusual in the north and no suspicious targets observed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The west side also just reported that everything is normal with no suspicious targets found.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Big Dog, all is normal here, and I’m ready to fire at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The machine gun crew has started to return gradually, and I can now dispatch three machine gun teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve ordered two of them to head east to reinforce Toad’s firepower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Test Tube,” Maide’s bleeding has stopped, and he’s temporarily out of danger, but there are too many casualties now, and I can’t keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh God, it’s like a slaughterhouse here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, with none of his closest brothers in trouble, Gao Yang felt considerably relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Gao Yang said in a grave voice, “Stay safe, prioritizing your own protection is the number one priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think too much about other things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a black man hurriedly ran up to Gao Yang and blurted out a few words, after which the soldier acting as translator exclaimed, “We’ve found fifty-two bodies of the attackers, and five wounded are still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was knocked out by the blast wave, merely unconscious, and is now awake, and another lightly wounded can be interrogated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three severely injured can no longer speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that there were living attackers, Gao Yang’s spirits lifted and he commanded, “Bring the person over, no, I’ll go with you, have him lead the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the beach, a crowd was gathered, frantically shouting about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang pushed through the crowd and saw the attacker who had been captured due to being stunned by the blast wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captured man was sitting on the ground, dressed in black with his helmet off, with camouflage paint on his face so his skin color couldn’t be identified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from his light brown hair and the paleness at his temples, he appeared to be an older Caucasian man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prisoner didn’t seem nervous, just confused, with a blank face and eyes lacking any focus, staring straight at a corpse lying next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a glance at the captive, Gao Yang squatted down and asked in a stern voice, “What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gao Yang’s question, the prisoner shifted his puzzled gaze onto Gao Yang’s face, scrutinizing him several times before responding in a distraught manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many of you are there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These n*ggers have your support, don’t they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These n*ggers shouldn’t be this formidable, this isn’t like how n*ggers fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We shouldn’t have failed, I shouldn’t be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me, who exactly are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang had no intention to conceal his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded and said in a deep voice, “I’m a mercenary, to be precise, we are a Mercenary Group, it’s just that the others haven’t arrived yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have answered your questions, and you needn’t tell me your name, but tell me your origin, why you’re here, and exactly how many of you there are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, the captive said with a bitter face, “Like you, I am a mercenary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang sighed and said, “As an enemy, you are one of the toughest I’ve ever encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not a compliment, but my honest sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always have respect for excellent enemies, so please answer my questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know that I have ways to make you talk, so it would be better for you to voluntarily tell me everything you know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I can guarantee you an honorable death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the worldview of Westerners, or rather in the training received by soldiers, there isn’t an expectation to remain unyielding even in the face of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their standard is that if captured, if one is subjected to unbearable torture, to hold onto secrets for as long as possible is considered heroic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the prisoner had no thoughts of enduring torture but instead spilled all he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A total of sixty-four men, we’ve been completely wiped out, there’s no need for secrecy anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like you, we are mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were hired to cooperate with some pirates to attack another pirate camp; however, the intelligence we received didn’t mention the presence of mercenaries among the pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damned intelligence officer also failed to mention these damned pirates had heavy weaponry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fighting capability of the n*ggers was many times stronger than anticipated, so we failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have any other questions?” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If
