From Kabul to Kandahar, this southbound road was not unfamiliar to Song Heping.
Over two years ago, he disguised himself as a drug lord from Central Asia together with a US Special Forces officer named Mist, and headed south from here to Helmand Province to find Rabbani, an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Brigade, leading to a precise clearance operation by the US Army on a drug production facility.
It was also because of a sudden change in the situation at that time, which led to being chased by the armed forces of the Revolutionary Brigade, forcing them to continue retreating west and eventually crossing into Persia from the highland area.
Returning to this familiar place now, looking at the almost unchanged, even more dilapidated streetscapes and desolate scenes outside the window, and the villages destroyed by the war, as well as the locals who walked by, looking at the military vehicles with a blank and hollow gaze, he couldn't help but feel a deep sigh.
