"Captain! Three o'clock, IED!" The teammates yelled from the headset.
Su Tu did not hesitate, raised his hand and fired two shots, suppressing the enemy's firepower. At the same time, he glanced to the right from the corner of his eye - on the dirt road, a homemade bomb flashed with a red light.
"Get out! Get out!" He roared into the radio while pushing the demolitionist beside him, "Let's go!"
His teammates staggered back, but Sutu had already heard the hiss of the fuse.
No time.
He rushed towards the bomb, pressed it with his body, and pulled open the tab of the tactical vest with his right hand——
Boom!
The world shattered in blazing whiteness.
