Chapter 594 A Devastating Battle
Cheng Shenghong's slowly raised fist stopped in mid-air.
Last time, Han Shuo used one of Lao Wu's treasured items to temporarily awaken his memory.
So, this time, when Lao Wu and the others stood alive and well before him, the deep-seated affection and memories they had shared were rekindled...
...
"Boss, it's us! What happened to you?!"
The fifth brother immediately noticed something was wrong with his eldest brother and called out again with tears in his eyes.
"Live, live..."
Cheng Shenghong briefly regained consciousness, his body trembling, and he murmured softly.
However, although he was filled with excitement and his mind was clear, he felt that his body was somewhat out of control.
Today, he has been awake long enough...
The arm that had been hovering in mid-air unconsciously continued to rise.
"No! No—!"
Cheng Shenghong's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted loudly.
How could he allow himself to hurt the brothers in front of him? He was frantically fighting an internal struggle, trying to regain control of his body.
Unfortunately, the nanorobots inside his bones and on his skin, as if by muscle memory, began to wriggle unconsciously.
Just as his fist was about to strike Lao Wu, Cheng Shenghong let out a heart-wrenching roar. With his intense willpower, he forcefully suppressed the attack, and the spikes formed by his fingers finally disappeared.
Then, his eyes became cloudy again, and a chaotic consciousness surged into his mind once more.
He knew he was about to lose his temper again...
At the last moment, he suddenly started frantically pounding his head with both fists.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After several heavy punches, blood flowed down his forehead and temples.
A feeling of dizziness arose, but Cheng Shenghong continued to violently pound himself with his hands.
...
"Boss! No, what's wrong with you?!"
The scene before them terrified Lao Wu and the others.
They quickly surrounded him, grabbed their leader's arm, and tried to stop him from self-harming.
With his face covered in blood, Cheng Shenghong easily flung Lao Wu and his group away with a few swift movements.
After punching himself a few more times, he finally managed to pass out before he completely lost his mind...
"Bang!"
Cheng Shenghong, who had fallen into a coma, collapsed to the ground. After Lao Wu got up, he rushed over to check on Cheng's injuries.
"Boss, boss!"
...
At the same time, Han Shuo, enduring the excruciating pain in his body, stood up again.
Sigh~
He sighed and looked ahead with a pained expression.
He knew why Cheng Shenghong did this: only by making himself unconscious could he avoid harming his other brothers.
Exhausted, Han Shuo slowly walked up to Lao Wu and the others, and briefly explained what Cheng Shenghong had recently experienced.
After hearing his story, Lao Wu and his group were heartbroken.
They couldn't imagine the torment and torture their leader had endured, having been captured and transformed into this state.
...
Han Shuo weakly patted the fifth brother's shoulder and spoke.
"Fifth brother, don't worry, Brother Yaonan will be fine."
"After killing the old man, we retrieved a lot of important information about him. Shurou analyzed it for a while before, and she will definitely be able to find a way to slowly heal Brother Yaonan!"
"Um!"
The fifth brother was moved to tears, nodding repeatedly with choked sobs.
...
Afterwards, Han Shuo surveyed the surrounding battlefield.
The scene was a complete mess, with the fire still raging and piles of corpses lying everywhere... The central points where the explosions had occurred had been reduced to scorched earth.
In this battle, both sides truly fought to the point of exhaustion.
He knew that Wai-di had escaped from the battlefield alone at the last moment.
At this moment, he had no mind to think about this ungrateful brat anymore. It was truly remarkable that everyone had been able to win this great battle and persevere through such hardship until now.
It's a pity, there were only four silver-haired people...
...
Han Shuo shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He walked to the side and first retrieved his Tang sword. When he saw Wang Bahu's corpse on the ground, his heart was filled with complex emotions.
Just now, he vaguely heard the last two words that Wang Bahu uttered before he died.
After some thought, they decided to set the body on fire instead of leaving it to rot in the wilderness.
Han Shuo did this not for any other reason than to commemorate Steward Wang.
...
Sigh~
Watching the corpses burn in the flames, Han Shuo sighed again and turned to walk towards the fat man and the others on the other side.
At this moment, Li Shurou was using the scraps of cloth on the ground to bandage the wounds on the fat man and the others.
Her medical kit had been destroyed in the explosion; all she could do now was this…
Seeing Han Shuo approaching, she slowly raised her head.
The two looked at each other and nodded, their eyes filled with exhaustion, without saying anything more.
...
"Fatty, Xiao Zhao, how are you two?"
Han Shuo bent down, looking worriedly at his two brothers who were covered in blood.
"Brother Han, don't worry, I can still hold on." Xiao Zhao squinted, raised his head, and forced an awkward smile.
"No, it's nothing, I'm a tough guy, I won't die!" The fat man, despite grimacing in pain all over his body, still couldn't resist boasting about himself.
Han Shuo nodded, then turned and glanced at Chen Hai, who was unconscious beside him.
"Shurou, how is Uncle Hai? Is he in any danger?"
Li Shurou continued bandaging everyone's wounds with her hands, replying without looking up.
"Don't worry, Uncle Hai's injuries are not as serious as theirs. He just suffered a head injury and will not wake up for a while."
"That's good, that's good..."
Han Shuo breathed a slight sigh of relief, sat down on the messy ground, and began to rest.
Although he had many wounds, they were much lighter than those of Fatty and Xiao Zhao.
After all, he had just escaped enemy rocket bombardment.
At this moment, Han Shuo was exhausted, and the feeling of being completely drained was even stronger.
...
A few minutes later, Lao Wu left his brothers to take care of the unconscious Cheng Shenghong and came over alone.
He frowned and looked around, then, somewhat puzzled, couldn't help but ask.
"By the way, Captain Han, where are Silver Hair and the others? I haven't seen the four of them. Did you split up?"
As soon as the voice fell, he could clearly see Han Shuo and the others tremble slightly, and a sense of unease instantly welled up in his heart.
There was a moment of silence before Han Shuo raised his head and replied with a look of sadness in his eyes.
"Brother Silver Hair and the others... are all dead."
"They activated their self-destruct program and destroyed all the remaining zombie horde in order to save us."
"Silver hair, blonde hair, red hair, and purple hair, all... not a trace of their bodies."
