After speaking, he bent down, picked up another captured SVD from the ground, and hung it on his shoulder along with his own rifle.
The heavy gun body brought a sense of descent, yet it gave him a strange sense of stability. He quickly gathered several SVD magazines scattered on the ground and stuffed them into the magazine pouches on his tactical vest.
After completing all this, he turned to Utekin, who had been silently standing by, looking on with a complex expression:
"Let's go, let's check out over there." His tone was calm, as if merely inviting a companion to view a scenery.
Utekin witnessed the entire process.
From Song Heping picking up the SVD, to the three rapid, Grim Reaper-like gunshots, to Song Heping's current terrifyingly calm demeanor.
This former GRU Special Forces member, an old soldier who had endured the hell of Chechnya, inadvertently showed a trace of barely detectable awe in his eyes.
