As they hurried towards the American coastal base, Xiao Luo observed that the SEAL team's combat skills were excellent. They were quickly able to spot minefields, and on top of that, they had a mine detector that could accurately identify the mines' location, allowing their vehicles to carefully navigate around the danger zones.
Dusk was falling, and soon they arrived at a small mountain village.
Smoke could be spotted around the small mountain village. When they looked over, they saw only about a dozen huts made of loess soil. There were barely any trees in the surroundings, a clear sign of desertification, likely caused the low air quality rather than other factors. The area was a dust bowl, and villagers in ragged clothes were scuttering around the village. When they saw a band of armed combatants breaking in, the villagers stared at the strangers in trepidation with their eyes wide opened and cowered in fear.
