Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Retreat, retreat frantically backward.

The scorpion's bloodshot eyes were fixed on Liu Ming, who was approaching step by step. Its legs felt as heavy as lead, but it moved instinctively, driven by the will to survive.

He knocked over a folding table, shattering expensive liquor all over the floor. The liquor mixed with mud and water soaked his combat boots that had once trodden over countless corpses.

"Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll detonate the explosives!"

Scorpion hissed, grabbing the metal box on the table that had originally been used to hold cigars. Inside the box were complex detonation circuits. His trembling fingers hovered above the red button, and he descended into a state of extreme madness.

"Liu Ming! I know you're powerful! But no matter how fast you are, you can't outrun this 500-kilogram C4! Once I press it, all fifteen of your country's national treasures in this cave will be buried with me!"

He was breathing heavily, trying to regain some leverage in negotiations by using the hostage. At the same time, his other hand was pressed tightly on the communicator at his waist, trying to access the encrypted channel hidden deep in the dark web.

"The 'Aegis' people are right outside the border! If I give the signal, three Hellfire missiles will level this place within ten minutes! You'd better think this through!"

This was his last trump card, and his biggest advantage in daring to set up this deadly trap near the border of the Dragon Kingdom.

However, Liu Ming didn't even glance at the detonator.

He simply stared at the scorpion with the cold, lifeless gaze one would give to a dead man.

"Do you think your signal will get through?" Liu Ming tilted her head slightly, a cruel smile curving her lips.

Scorpion was startled and instinctively glanced down at the communicator. The signal indicator, which should have been flashing green, was now a deathly black!

No signal! Not only was the frequency band for external communication locked, but even the wireless detonator in his hand, which was connected to the explosive fuse, was now like a piece of scrap metal, completely unresponsive!

"Ghost Hand." Liu Ming pressed the earpiece.

"Boss, all done." Ghost Hand's disdainful chuckle came through the earpiece. "These idiots were still using the old encryption protocol from three years ago. I've completely blocked all the wireless detonation commands. Now, in this hole, not even a fart can get out except for his mouth."

Scorpion's face turned deathly pale instantly. His trump card, which he was so proud of and which he used to blackmail a great power, was completely destroyed in front of this man in less than a few seconds!

"Ah—! I'll fight you to the death!"

Driven to the brink, Poison Scorpion let out a beast-like roar! He suddenly pulled a large-caliber Desert Eagle from his waist and emptied the magazine in Liu Ming's direction!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The deafening gunfire echoed through the cave. The immense recoil made Scorpion's wrist go numb. But at such close range, under such dense firepower, even an elephant would be riddled with holes!

"You're dead! You're finally dead!" The scorpion panted heavily, staring intently at the smoke-filled darkness.

However, when the smoke cleared, there was nothing there; Liu Ming had vanished.

"Looking for me?"

A chilling voice, seemingly from hell, suddenly rang out above the scorpion's head!

The scorpion looked up in horror and saw a dark figure hanging upside down on the huge stalactite protruding from the top of the cave, defying the laws of gravity!

Liu Ming's legs were tightly wrapped around the stone pillar. The instant the scorpion raised its head, he released his legs and, like a black eagle spreading its wings, swooped down from a height of seven or eight meters!

While in mid-air, Liu Ming suddenly flicked her wrist, and "whoosh!" a streak of eerie blue lightning ripped through the darkness!

The "Dragon Fang" military dagger, with a piercing whistling sound, seemed to have eyes, precisely severing the black communication cable connected to the spare wired detonator at the Scorpion's waist!

"Snap!" The cable snapped. Scorpion's last hope of manually detonating the explosives was also completely extinguished!

"Damn it!" Scorpion roared, throwing away the Desert Eagle that had missed its target, pulling a serrated military knife from his boot, and fiercely stabbing at Liu Ming who was descending from the sky!

He was a top assassin who had won fifty consecutive matches in underground boxing rings. Even without firearms, he was confident that he would not lose to anyone in close combat.

The first move! The military knife, whistling fiercely, hurtled straight towards Liu Ming's throat!

Liu Ming was in mid-air, with nowhere to avoid it. But he had no intention of avoiding it at all. At the critical moment when the two were about to collide, Liu Ming's body actually twisted half a circle in mid-air at an incredible angle!

The saber grazed his tactical uniform, sending sparks flying.

Liu Ming's right knee had already slammed into the Scorpion's chest like a battering ram!

"Crack!" With a tooth-grinding sound of bones breaking, several of Scorpion's ribs shattered instantly! His massive body was slammed to the ground like a tattered sack, and a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out.

The second move! Liu Ming landed steadily. He didn't give Poison Scorpion any chance to catch his breath. Just as Poison Scorpion tried to struggle to get up, Liu Ming took a step forward and precisely stepped on his right wrist, where he was holding the knife.

"Ah!!!" With his fingers connected to his heart, Poison Scorpion let out a shrill scream, and the military knife in his hand fell limply to the ground.

"Three years ago." Liu Ming looked down at him, her eyes devoid of any pity. "You used a poison gas trap to kill two of my brothers. I chased you for three days and three nights, cut off one of your fingers, and you still got away."

"Today." Liu Ming slowly bent down, her large, iron-like hands gripping the scorpion's thick neck tightly.

"Let's see where you can run now."

"No...no..." The scorpion felt the increasingly terrifying force on his neck and finally experienced the ultimate fear of death. He wanted to beg for mercy, but all he saw were Liu Ming's lifeless eyes, as cold as ice.

The third move! "Crack!"

A crisp, clean sound of bones breaking echoed in the quiet cave.

Scorpion's eyes, filled with fear and resentment, bulged instantly, and a gurgling sound escaped his throat. His body convulsed violently twice, then collapsed completely limp.

His head drooped at an extremely bizarre angle on his shoulder.

This notorious "Jungle Butcher," infamous in the international mercenary world, this desperate criminal who had caused countless border guards headaches, was defeated by Liu Ming in less than three moves.

His sinful life ended completely, just like snapping a chick's neck.

……

"Boss."

Lone Wolf, Tank, and the others walked in from outside. They reeked of gunpowder, and their weapons were dripping with blood. The dozens of elite mercenaries on the perimeter had been completely wiped out by the "Dragon Fang" team in just ten minutes.

Not a single person was left alive.

"Clean it up." Liu Ming released his grip, letting the scorpion's corpse fall to the ground. He didn't look at the scientists who were tied up in the corner, speechless with shock from the thunderous scene of slaughter they had just witnessed.

He took out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the bloodstains from his fingers with elegant and composed movements, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"Yes!" Tank and the others quickly dispersed and began clearing the explosives and debris from the scene.

Liu Ming walked to the pile of smashed communication equipment, bent down, and picked up a satellite signal transmitter from the ruins. It was only half left and was still flashing a faint red light.

He knew that the other end of this thing was connected to the enormous dark force hidden behind the scenes, attempting to subvert the technological lifeline of the Dragon Kingdom.

Liu Ming looked at the red dot, a cold and arrogant smile curling at the corner of her lips.

He raised his military boot and, with a "crack," crushed the launcher to pieces.

"Trying to strangle us?" Liu Ming snorted coldly, his voice low but exuding an aura of domineering power that could chill anyone to the bone.

"dream."
