Chapter 488 Are they all dead?

Around 3 a.m., the silver-haired man suddenly came to the door.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The loud knocking woke everyone up. Han Shuo hurriedly went to open the door, and Fatty and the others quickly got dressed and followed from behind.

As soon as the door opened, the silver-haired man called out anxiously.

"Brother Han, your friend is back!"

As soon as the words were spoken, joy appeared on everyone's faces, and the fat man especially celebrated excitedly on the spot.

"Hahahaha! I knew it! Fifth Brother and the others would be alright. Look, they're back now!"

Xiao Zhao chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I think the same thing as Fatty. They must have been delayed on the way. It's good that they're back now, it's good that they're back."

...

However, as everyone cheered with joy, Han Shuo noticed that the silver-haired man's expression seemed a little off.

He stopped smiling and quickly asked, "Brother Silver Hair, what's wrong? Is there something you haven't finished saying?"

Sigh~

The silver-haired man sighed deeply and continued speaking.

"Go and see for yourselves..."

After he finished speaking, the house fell silent. Han Shuo placed his large hand on the silver-haired man's shoulder and asked heavily.

Where are they?

The silver-haired man pointed behind him and replied regretfully.

"Outside the tunnel..."

...

The next moment, Han Shuo rushed out of the room and ran anxiously outside.

At this moment, he had already sensed something was wrong and kept repeating it to himself.

"Everyone must stay safe and come back safely..."

The fat man and the others quickly realized what was happening and chased after them from behind.

...

Soon, Han Shuo was the first to arrive outside. The moment he stepped out of the tunnel, he slowly stopped and stared at the scene in front of him, frozen in place.

Under the moonlight, a familiar truck was parked quietly at the foot of the mountain. Beside the truck, a long-haired man sat on the ground with his hands wrapped around his knees and his head buried in them, looking dejected.

His body was trembling uncontrollably... and he was sobbing intermittently...

Cheng Shenghong has returned, but Lao Wu and his group are not with him. Tonight, he is the only one who has returned...

...

A wave of sadness washed over Han Shuo, and he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

He was alone in front of Cheng Shenghong. What did that mean? He didn't want to guess, much less think about it...

"Huff~ Huff~"

After catching his breath, he quickly walked over, squatted down, placed his hands on Cheng Shenghong's shoulders, and asked anxiously.

"Brother Yao Nan, where are Lao Wu and the others?!"

...

Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Shenghong stopped trembling and slowly raised his head.

His once lustrous black hair was now covered in dust and scattered carelessly over his shoulders.

He cried for an unknown amount of time; his eyes were red and bloodshot.

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Han Shuo choked up and said, "Dead, dead... Lao, Lao Wu, they're all dead."

As soon as the words fell, Han Shuo's gaze suddenly became blank.

"Dead? They're all dead?"

His heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle in that instant, and it took him a long time to gradually come back to his senses.

Han Shuo, his face contorted with rage, shouted the question.

"Brother Demon! What on earth happened?!"

"Was it done by zombies or humans?"

...

At the same time, the fat man and the others from behind finally arrived.

When they saw the scene, and when they saw that only Cheng Shenghong had returned, they all froze on the spot without exception...

...

"Neither human nor zombie..."

The next moment, Cheng Shenghong began to explain, his voice filled with grief and helplessness.

It turned out that yesterday morning, Cheng Shenghong and his group accidentally entered a cave while chasing a smart zombie.

None of them expected that this cave was actually a gathering place for the swarm of zombie spiders. When they went deeper inside and finished hunting down the intelligent zombie, they accidentally stepped on the remains on the ground and realized that something was wrong.

But by then, it was too late to react...

The overwhelming horde of corpse spiders instantly crawled down the mountainside. When they swarmed into the cave like locusts, it meant that Cheng Shenghong and his group's only escape route had been completely blocked.

At that time, facing an endless swarm of millions of corpse spiders, the ten of them still did not give up their last hope of survival.

Unfortunately, despite their best efforts and with the desperate cover and fighting of Lao Wu and the others, only Cheng Shenghong managed to escape.

Not long after, the gunfire inside the cave completely ceased, and the zombie spiders outside had completely sealed off the entrance...

Under these circumstances, how could Lao Wu and his group possibly survive?

Despite his immense grief, Cheng Shenghong had no choice but to flee immediately in the face of the swarm of zombie spiders outside.

Because he had to tell Han Shuo and the others what had happened here.

If I were to act impulsively out of grief and die here with everyone, I would be betraying the last wishes of Lao Wu and the others, and at the same time, it would cause Han Shuo to continue to worry about them.

He didn't want his remaining brothers to spend the rest of their time endlessly searching for them, a search that would be futile and fruitless...

...

After Cheng Shenghong finished recounting the whole story, he suddenly became very excited.

He roared wildly to the sky, pounding his head with his fists as he roared.

"Hahahaha! They're dead! Fifth Brother and the rest of them are all dead!"

"It's my fault, it's all my fault! If I hadn't led them to that cave, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Brother Han, do you know what? Hahahaha! Only I, only I survived."

"My nine brothers, they're all dead! All, all dead..."

Tears fell, one after another, and his heart was being torn apart piece by piece...

Cheng Shenghong had never felt such intense pain before; this pain tormented him mentally.

Like Han Shuo, he has always regarded his brothers as the most important people.

But now, they... are all gone...

At this moment, his heart was filled with helplessness and despair...

...

At the same time, everyone behind felt a sense of empathy.

Everyone's eyes were terribly red, and the fat man next to him was completely stunned.

"Fifth brother... is he dead too?"

He choked out a word in a soft voice, and the next moment, he collapsed to the ground and burst into tears, burying his face in his hands.

Despite their frequent bickering and mutual dislike, the two of them are not immune to each other's animosity.

But in Fatty's heart, among Cheng Shenghong's group, Lao Wu and he had always been the closest...
