Chapter 682: Chapter 679
The two hurried to check the physical condition of the man from East Asia, while the latter, his face flushed red with coughing, didn’t forget to shout at Lu Xiao:
“Murderer, the murderer is you! We will definitely find the evidence!”
The neutral duo also spoke up, with one of them stating directly:
“Mr. Lu is right, with his skills, if he wanted to kill us, it would be hard for us to match him. The murderer must be someone else.”
“Nonsense! This East Asian sicknes… Ah—!”
A small stone zipped through the air, hitting him straight, accurately, and fiercely on the forehead, causing him such pain that he screamed, his vision went dark, and he nearly passed out.
This time, the other two men looked at Lu Xiao with even more disbelief in their eyes.
“This is personal grievance, if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut, don’t blame me for what I might do,” Lu Xiao said coldly.
He indeed was a man who respected life, but that didn’t mean he would remain indifferent when he and his country were insulted.
Everyone has their bottom line.
His bottom line was: if no one offends me, I do not offend anyone; if someone offends me, I must retaliate!
The man from East Asia despised Lu Xiao so much, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth in anger.
But now, even if he hated him, all he could do was to grit his teeth and endure, knowing deep down that he was no match for Lu Xiao.
After this brief disturbance, everyone gradually calmed down.
And when the darkest time of night had slowly passed, the horizon was already beginning to show the first light of dawn.
The sky on the island always brightened earlier than elsewhere.
But at the moment, it was still dim, and people’s vision was somewhat hindered.
At some point, Lu Xiao, who had been dozing off against a large rock, suddenly opened his eyes.
The scene before him was a crackling campfire and two men yawning, sleepy, and as for the man from East Asia, he had already fallen asleep on the ground.
But his gaze skipped them and looked towards the direction of the rainforest.
His cold eyes grew even sharp.
Staring intensely in that direction.
It was the special forces’ keen sixth sense.
And it was more a matter of experience than a mere sixth sense.
Lu Xiao couldn’t check his watch and didn’t know the exact time, but according to the sky, it must be around four in the morning.
And the early hours usually are when people are in deep sleep.
A morning breeze blew through, rustling the rainforest, but Lu Xiao’s gaze remained fixed there until at last, he suddenly kicked the two drowsy men.
“There’s a noise! Wake up!”
The two jolted awake, their bodies shivering, and hearing what he said, their hearts beat even faster.
One of them stood up quickly, looking around, cautious, “What, what’s happening!?”
And the man from East Asia who was sleeping on the ground was also woken up by the noise, becoming fully alert as everyone else, and he instantly grabbed his dagger, scanning his surroundings:
They scanned their surroundings, and apart from the rustling of leaves in the forest, they noticed nothing unusual.
They then all looked at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao, however, was staring in a certain direction into the rainforest, his gaze sharp, and he slowly said:
“He’s here, that man.”
