Niu Chuan fled back to Peng Bing's stronghold in a very disheveled state.

He lost an arm and also lost too much blood, leaving him extremely weak. When he returned, he was stumbling and unsteady on his feet.

Accompanying him were several of his men.

These men were all staunch supporters of Peng Bing, and they had no idea of ​​Niu Chuan's true purpose in returning.

In their view, the vanguard had encountered an accident, which reduced their defensive strength. Ushikawa saw an opportunity, took the initiative to contact them, and then, after going through countless hardships, they managed to escape by sheer luck.

During their escape, they not only faced pursuit from the vanguard army, but also attacks from various supernatural creatures. Originally, more than a dozen of them escaped, but now, including Niu Chuan, only four remain.

Only Zhang Lin and Niu Chuan knew Niu Chuan's true purpose.

On the vanguard side, nobody knew anything, and when they sent people to hunt them down, it was a genuine pursuit.

If you're not careful, Ushikawa could die.

He truly dedicated himself to art.

At this point, once they reached their territory, Niu Chuan and his three subordinates were all genuinely moved and almost burst into tears.

Finally... I'm home!

"Quickly, inform them! I need to see my father; I have important news to report!"

After fleeing all the way, Niu Chuan had reached his limit and immediately fainted after saying those words.

"Brother Niu!"

His three men were shocked and immediately caught him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

...

"What? Ushikawa's back?"

Peng Bing received the news, but instead of feeling joy, he was so angry that he threw the teapot in his hand away, "That good-for-nothing, how dare he come back?"

He was furious this time.

Of the more than two thousand troops in the coalition, he alone contributed more than a thousand.

This is a very powerful force.

As a result, Niu Chuan simply gave it to Zhang Lin for free.

If Niu Chuan had been with him when he received the news, he would have beaten Niu Chuan to death.

Now, after some time has passed, his anger has subsided somewhat, but upon hearing Niu Chuan's name again, the rage has reignited.

"Fine, since he dares to come back, let him come over. If he can't give me an explanation, see how I deal with him!"

The subordinates standing nearby didn't dare to say anything and immediately ordered someone to carry Niu Chuan in.

"You bastard, you dare to come back..."

Before Niu Chuan even entered the house, Peng Bing had already started cursing. He was full of anger and didn't know how to vent it, and Niu Chuan had delivered himself right to his doorstep.

As a result, when Niu Chuan was carried in, he discovered that Niu Chuan had already fainted.

Clearly, Peng Bing couldn't vent his anger on an unconscious person.

He was immediately stunned.

The anger that had been building up inside him had nowhere to go.

What's wrong with him?

Peng Bing remained silent for a while before asking his subordinate.

"He escaped from Zhang Lin, and was chased all the way. He also had to face attacks from supernatural creatures. In addition, he lost an arm, lost too much blood, and was overworked, which is why he is like this."

The person who escaped back with Niu Chuan said to Peng Bing.

"They escaped back?" Peng Bing, being naturally suspicious, immediately asked, "Is Zhang Lin really that useless, allowing you to escape from the encirclement of so many vanguard soldiers?"

"this……"

The three subordinates were unable to answer.

It was Ushikawa who found them, and he provided the route and the timing of their escape. Their only responsibility was to fight and cover Ushikawa's escape.

I don't know anything specific.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of you, Peng Bing stopped trying and said, "Go down first and tell me everything that happened to you when you were captured. I'll decide what to do with you after I've read your statements."

The three henchmen were taken away.

Peng Bing had someone fetch a medicine to stabilize Niu Chuan's injuries and used some medication to stimulate Niu Chuan's nerves, forcibly waking him up from his weak coma.

Snap!

Niu Chuan had just woken up when he was slapped across the face.

He regained his senses, and Peng Bing finally had a place to vent his anger.

"waste!"

Peng Bing slapped Niu Chuan once, and wanted to slap him again, but he forcibly held back because Niu Chuan was too weak at the moment, and he was afraid that if he continued to hit him, he would kill Niu Chuan.

"Dad, it's my fault for being incompetent!" Niu Chuan felt weak in his body and his face burning. A fire burned brighter and brighter in his heart, but on the surface, he appeared increasingly weak.

"You should have said you were incompetent earlier! I entrusted you with such an important mission, and look what happened? Not only is Zhang Lin unharmed, but you even sent him a group of men! After Zhang Lin led them out to fight, do you think they'll still listen to me when they come back? Huh?"

Peng Bing clenched his fists and launched into a tirade of abuse.

Niu Chuan remained silent, listening obediently without offering any rebuttal.

He's gotten used to this kind of life after more than a decade.

If we add in the memories that have awakened in my mind, this period of time would last for more than just a decade or so.

Before the apocalypse, he endured it for the sake of his wife and children.

After the apocalypse, his wife and children turned into zombies, but he couldn't survive outside the settlement, so he endured it.

Now, he's not going to put up with it anymore.

But the more he didn't want to hold back, the less he could afford to reveal any flaws.

I must complete the mission perfectly to gain Zhang Lin's favor... Niu Chuan thought to himself, but on the surface, he said in a humble voice, "Dad, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I risked my life to escape this time with important information. As long as you seize this opportunity, killing Zhang Lin will definitely not be a problem!"
