Just as he kicked the door open, he saw the tobacco leaves strewn about in the courtyard, drying haphazardly, tools scattered in disarray, and dust flying everywhere. The color of yellow earth seemed to cover everything.
But he saw no sign of any enemy.
He saw only a gaunt woman desperately trying to hide two girls behind her, eyes wide, staring blankly at Huai Shi, terror in her eyes.
"I-I apologize..." he swallowed hard, "got the wrong place."
He was about to turn around when a teammate kicked him aside. Immediately after, he heard the roar of automatic rifles, a series of loud bangs, the faint sound of screams, and the sound of blood spurting.
He didn't even have time to look back.
In the distance, it seemed someone was shouting something. Something whizzed through the air, followed by another loud explosion.
In the end, there was no sound at all—only total silence and a sharp ringing in his ears.
From out of nowhere, an RPG turned everything into rubble.
