"The most pitiful thing in the world is being beaten to death by your own people."

"How about we just run away?" Snake Butt suggested uncomfortably.

Yao Ma leaned against his good brother without saying anything, just looking at Shuo Yu. Shuo Yu half stood up and raised his hand to give Shepizi and Bula a pat on the back of their heads.

"What are you talking about? It's not about shooting us. What have you done to deserve being shot somewhere else? If you want to be shot, Zhang Lixian is holding the Mauser 721 in the back. None of us need to hide. We can go to the Hades Palace for dinner this afternoon."

Milong wanted to stand up but sat down again because Shuoyu said they were not to be shot. Ayi lowered his head and suddenly spoke,

"It was a shooting, it was a shooting... But they didn't shoot us, they made us watch others being shot..."

He didn't say who it was, but everyone was silent and the image of that person was already in their minds. Shuo Yu waved his hands and thought, "No way, how is it possible? I saw him yesterday, why is he going to be shot today?"

"Who are you going to shoot? Is it necessary to mobilize so many people?" Snake Butt didn't believe that there was anyone so powerful that they had to gather so many people to watch him being shot.

Meng Fanle wanted to stop Ayi from saying the next words, but Ayi had already said it.

"It's just dead."

This time it was confirmed, Clauber breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as they are not shot, it will be fine." As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back and front by the Death Star and Snake. The flesh was duang~duang~! He honestly closed his mouth, covering his mouth with a bit of grievance.

"What a ghost! You don't recognize him." The Death Star said with a lonely face.

"If I had known this earlier, I should have brought some dog meat so that they could meet one last time." Bu La thought of their leader's dog brother.

"Why are you saying this at this time? People, people!" The veterinarian muttered, not knowing what he was lamenting.

"I'd rather they shot Anla than kill her."

"Thank you, dear."

"You're welcome."

Shuo Yu leaned against the veterinarian and looked at Fanla, who lowered his head in silence. On the rest of the journey, an indescribable silence hung over everyone's heads.

"The captain won't die." He touched the head that couldn't be lifted up and whispered, but the reply he got was a gnashing of teeth. There was sadness in it but the anger was long gone.

"He should have died long ago. Shooting him ten times wouldn't be enough for what he did."

"I must save him." Shuo Yu said with certainty. He would not let the captain die like this.

"Save your uncle, you swindler, you half-immortal who only knows how to cheat and defraud people." People look ugly when they cry, so Shuo Yu covered up his ugly face so that others would not see it.

"I am, but I must save him."

“…”

The car finally brought them to the division headquarters, which Shuoyu had just visited yesterday, amidst the smoke of diesel and dust. Even the sentries at the door were the same ones Shuoyu had seen yesterday. Seeing them again for the second time suddenly made him feel a sense of familiarity.

Shuoyu and Ayi were organizing the team. Not far away, there were people from Zenda watching the excitement. It didn't take much time to organize the team. He just wanted to make them look like soldiers again, to make them respected by others. They were not a group of unwanted people.

Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang had no time to care about them. They just watched Shuoyu organize the formation and make sure that they would not embarrass Master Yu. Then they left without looking back. They were always anxious, like a taut string, with a look on their faces as if they were about to do something big.

Bu La and Yao Ma were arguing with each other and went to look at the Zenda sisters behind them who were darker than them. They were hit on the head by Shuo Yu.

"Behave yourself, this is someone else's door, give yourself some face."

Unfortunately, these guys thought they had no face left, so they didn't care about their face. However, they had no choice but to listen to Shuo Yu's words. They stood in a seemingly neat but actually lazy manner.

A nearly scrapped car emitting black smoke drove up to them and stopped beside their queue.

"You're choking to death!" "Can you please install a chimney?" "The Japs are firing!"

A familiar voice rang in the ears of all the complaining people the next second, causing them to stop talking and stare in amazement at the man who got out of the car amidst the still-undispersed black smoke. The man made a familiar gesture with his hand.

Shuo Yu looked at him with a silly smile and coughed loudly. Everyone's eyes followed the guy. They looked at their leader as if nothing had changed.

"You're all alive? That's good."

Just this one sentence, after he finished speaking, he was pushed away from them by Li Bing and Yu Zhi behind him and entered the division headquarters. Shuo Yu looked at his back and let the team behind him fall apart. Many pairs of eyes were doing the same thing as him.

Ah Yi reacted immediately and began to organize the team in a hurry. Zhang Lixian and his men came out again and sent them to a semi-basement. The ceiling was very low, and Mi Long could reach it with his head when he stood up. More than a hundred of them were crammed in like cargo.

The door, which was not big to begin with, was still closed. Shuoyu's soul had already followed their leader, leaving only his body here. He did not think about these details. He just wanted someone to tell him that their leader was fine, and he could take him back after a formality.

He wondered how come it happened so quickly? He hadn't even had time to go to the mountains to dig for the ransom.
