Everyone received the order, and they understood what the captain intended to do.

He was about to carve out the final path with his life.

The two injured soldiers looked at each other.

They knew what the captain meant to convey to them.

Given their current position, there was absolutely no turning back.

For the captain to clear a path of five meters by himself was an absolute impossibility.

In other words, at the moment the captain triggered the mines, they would have to do their utmost to clear the remaining two-plus meters of mines.

Giving each other a thumbs up, this was their final farewell.

They were willing to lay their lives for all their teammates to forge a path.

Bai Xiao’s mind raced as she considered a new use for her special ability, which, while merely experimented with on a rifle, had indeed succeeded.

If it could be used on a rifle, then could it mean it would work on mines too?

If the mines could be rendered harmless, then nobody would need to die.

It might be worth a try.

Bai Xiao knew it was late to say anything.

But if there was a glimmer of hope, she wished that none of the four of them needed to die.

She would rather expose her special ability than face death.

Moreover, it might not necessarily be exposed.

She had An Zhiyuan, which was the best cover.

She pulled An Zhiyuan close, whispering into his ear, “Big brother An! You have to believe me, don’t let them sacrifice themselves, I have a way to deactivate all the mines, you must trust me!”

An Zhiyuan was shaken.

“Can you really?” He did not doubt why Bai Xiao had waited until now to speak up; she must have had her reasons and difficulties.

Bai Xiao nodded, “I just thought of it, but let’s give it a try. Isn’t it what people say about treating a dead horse as if it were a live one? Even if it does explode, it won’t be far from what we expected. If it works, then it’ll be our luck.”

An Zhiyuan nodded, “Alright! You give it a try! I’m here for everything!”

He didn’t ask Bai Xiao about her secret.

As Bai Xiao activated her special ability, their tightly embracing bodies served as the best conduit. An Zhiyuan stood right on top of a mine, almost without needing additional contact. Bai Xiao glanced at An Zhiyuan who nodded back. An Zhiyuan looked toward their distant teammates, “The two of you, don’t make any reckless moves. That’s an order!”

He feared his own actions would send the wrong signals to his teammates.

The two injured soldiers stared at Captain An, perplexed.

And among the astonishment of everyone! They saw An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao take a significant step forward, moving away from the mine ahead.

Everyone exclaimed, many closing their eyes.

They couldn’t bear to witness the gruesome scene.

But after a good while, there was no noise.

The wind still caressed their cheeks gently as if everything remained tranquil, indeed as if nothing had happened.

The cheers were thunderous!

It was a dud.

That mine was actually defective.

Heaven had opened its eyes.

Such luck was defying the heavens.

An Zhiyuan glanced at Bai Xiao, and she nodded back.

Afterward, they couldn’t simply proceed this way, not every mine was of this pressure type, and there were many trigger-type mines, so they needed the sappers’ mine detectors.

“Engineers, bring the metal detector here. Doctor Bai and I will clear the mines; the rest of you stay back,”

An Zhiyuan knew he was the most persuasive weapon; Doctor Bai might not possess mine-clearing abilities, but as the captain, everyone would believe he had been trained in mine-clearing. That was the greatest persuasive power.

The engineers meant for An Zhiyuan to step aside and let them take over, but Captain An insisted, and they could only follow orders. Here, Captain An had the final say, and although the appointment hadn’t been formally issued, everyone knew that Captain An was already Captain An.
