Does Headquarters Want Them? (Request for Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter 10)

After counting, he immediately shoved open the car door and prepared to run. But before his body could even get out, bang—a bullet instantly shattered the window, slipped through the gap, and struck him directly in the head.

With a huge boom, an armor-piercing explosive round detonated inside his skull. This time, his head truly became like a watermelon with firecrackers exploding inside it.

Blood and brain matter burst across the entire vehicle! Some bone fragments even pierced the bodies of the team members beside him.

"Ah..." Piercing screams rang in everyone's ears. "C-Commander..." The only uninjured team member in that compartment spoke tremblingly. His body had gone completely numb.

He felt as though he could no longer move. His face was covered in blood, the entire vehicle was smeared with it, and his colleague—who had still been alive seconds ago—was still spraying blood from what remained of half his head.

The entire compartment instantly seemed to have turned into hell.

The three remaining living people in the compartment were all terrified out of their wits. When had logistics personnel like them ever seen such a cruel scene...

The commander's heart kept sinking. He knew that they probably would not be able to leave this time. That sniper... was too terrifying. He had not hesitated in the slightest. His team member's body had not even left the car, and that team member had been in the second vehicle.
