"Move it, hurry up you swine! Mohammed, make them move faster, beat them hard if you have to, and if that doesn't work, kill one to show them the consequences!"
Hou Saini kept urging his subordinates, barking like a mad dog.
His back was completely wet at this moment, all from cold sweat.
The blast just now was so powerful that he almost lost his hearing, and the huge vibration still made him feel nauseous.
The shockwave generated by the explosion did not harm the highest commander of the student brigade.
For this, they actually had to thank those Soviets.
Da Maozi, in their efforts to eliminate the members of the Resistance Organization hiding in the Afghan caves, had resorted to any means possible, using a variety of powerful bombs and attack methods.
This led to the resistance fighters digging out the caves with their lives, and while the main structure of Main God Mountain looked like weathered stone and sand from the outside, it was actually all large rocks inside.
The GBU-57A, despite its strong penetrating ability to enter about sixty meters underground, the years of experience fighting with the Soviets told these Ata Organization members that just these few tens of meters wouldn't withstand an attack of advanced American technology.
Therefore, the headquarters of the student brigade was another 30 meters down below the Main God Mountain.
These 30 meters of depth were unknown to the Americans.
When researching the bombing plan, technicians estimated the thickness of the Main God Mountain, but they did not expect that the headquarters were not there; instead, just some henchmen hiding within the mountain.
The explosion shook Hou Saini out of bed and onto the floor while he was sleeping underground, and it took him a while to understand what had happened.
Since the US Army's ODA team had previously come to attempt to rescue hostages, Hou Saini had the hostages locked down underground for these two days.
It would be nearly an impossible mission to enter here for a rescue; the pathways and caves in the mountain are intricate, and without a guide, one would definitely get lost like in a labyrinth.
What he did not expect was that the Americans would be so ruthless as to use a Ground Penetrating Bomb to bomb him directly, regardless of the hostages' safety.
On his way out, escaping for his life, he smelled the scent of scorched flesh all along the path, and what most horrified him was that on one wall of a collapsed cave, there were human-shaped burn marks where someone had been stuck, even as a terrorist for so many years, it made his stomach churn.
Keeping the remaining three US Army ODA Special Soldiers by his side, Hou Saini felt a bit more at ease.
Still, he kept casting glances at the sky from time to time. Just as he got out of the cave entrance, his men were subjected to another round of attacks, and Hou Saini, who thought he was doomed this time, found that after only two bombs, the American planes stopped bombing.
In fact, he did not know that it was just American drones launching attacks on them. The drones were responsible for long-term aerial surveillance, which meant they had forsaken the weight of ammunition for added fuel capacity. This incidental reason allowed Hou Saini to escape a catastrophe.
Now, he had to initiate the escape plan that had long been prepared.
Head east.
Less than ten kilometers away is the Abba Border; crossing the border is like reaching heaven. That territory belongs to Ba Country, and the Americans would surely hold back, not daring to send anyone to pursue them.
He must enter the territory of Ba Country as quickly as possible to be safe.
Soon, they arrived at the mountain valley that was a necessary route.
But he quickly noticed something was off.
"Stop!"
Hou Saini raised his hand, ordering his people to stop.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Mohammed, responsible for escorting the prisoners, quickly came up to inquire when he saw Hou Saini ordering a halt.
He wished he had more legs himself, as no one knew if the American planes would come again or not.
"Something's not right."
Hou Saini peered in the direction of the valley and expressed his doubts, "Where are Casemi and his men?"
Mohammed was also slightly shocked upon hearing this.
Casemi was the minor leader in charge of the security on both sides of the valley.
He was supposed to be here tonight.
There wasn't any issue during the previous bombing.
But now, as he and Boss Hou Saini had come here, they were nowhere to be seen? No one came to check what had happened.
This definitely wasn't normal.
"Could they have gone to Main God Mountain to see what happened after hearing the explosion?"
Mohammed was trying to come up with excuses for Casemi.
If it really was because Casemi was slacking off, then according to the boss's temperament, he would be severely punished.
"Impossible. We didn't run into them all the way here. If they went back, they would've definitely bumped into us."
Hou Saini deserves to be the commander of the student brigade.
He didn't reach his position over so many years by luck, but by real strength.
"Send someone up the hillside to check, look for Casemi."
Mohammed hurriedly called two of his men: "Go to the top of the slopes on both sides of the valley and see where Casemi and his group are!"
"Yes, boss."
After the two men left, Mohammed sneaked a glance at Hou Saini.
Hou Saini looked to be in very bad shape.
