Avery said without hesitation, "Pick a rifle and a smoke grenade and test it right now."
Nicolette was very decisive. She picked up a rifle and a smoke grenade from Avery's SUV. After scanning the weapons momentarily, she said to the special forces behind her, "Go stand under a tree 200 yards from here. After the grenade. explodes, do your best to get away from it."
"Yes, general." The soldier turned around and ran right away. Very soon, he was standing by a big tree in the distance. Nicolette raised her gun and fired at the ground near him.
There was a deep boom from the gunshot and explosion. The gas from the explosion swept across the surrounding area of over 30 feet, and the soldier was fully enveloped in the smoke.
No one could see what was happening in the smoke. Ten seconds later, as the wind blew, most of the smoke dissipated. Everyone saw the soldier lying motionless on the ground.
