Chapter 174 - They Are All Heroes (2/2)

In this moment, there was only the Xing Wuyi who suffered the painful loss of a close friend.

“No… no…. I have medicine. I have medicine here….”

As Xing Wuyi cried loudly, he stumbled in the mud to return by Qin Fen sighed once again. He felt outs a couple of medicinal pills from inside his clothes. These medicinal pills exuded a faint fragrance the moment they were exposed into the air. Just by smell alone, one would know that these were absolutely extraordinary products.

“He’s already dead.” It seemed as this Lin Ling was completely unaffected by anybody’s emotions. She remained ice-cold as she looked at the deranged Xing Wuyi. “Even if you give him an immortal pill to eat, he is still dead.”

“Eat these. Eat these. Eat these….” Xing Wuyi acted as if he hadn’t heard Lin Ling’s words. He just stuffed the medicinal pills one by one into Du Zhanpeng’s mouth. “Eat…. eat…. eat faster you motherfucker….”

Mr. Kenley was forty years old. He wore a white gown of a scientist. He was the chief designer of the nano battle suit. He was rescued from the basements successfully and arrived within the crowd.

He stared blankly at the thirty or so young recruits. Practically each and every one of them had bloodstains on their bodies. There were also nearly sixty corpses beneath their feet.

Nearly sixty young recruits, who should have possessed unbounded futures, lay quietly on the ground.

Life had already left them.

Each and every one of the living recruits carried grief and indignation that was indescribable on their faces. The dead people beside them were their comrades, after all! They were comrades who ate from the same pan, who slept together!

“Kenley!” Xing Wuyi got up from the ground and rushed at him in a roar. He gave a fierce punch to Kenley’s face, striking him down on the mud.

“Just look! Open your eyes and look! Look!” Xing Wuyi’s eyes flowed not only with tears but with blood as well! He pointed at the nearly sixty corpses on the ground. “Do you see them yet, you motherfucker! They were still alive just a few hours ago. They could jump. They could laugh. They could fight. They could complain. Among them were people who delightfully talked about their parents. Among them were people who talked about what they would do after training. They would go back to see their parents. To see their girlfriends. To sweep their ancestors’ tombs….”

Xing Wuyi’s two legs went weak. He kneeled to the ground, both hands propped up against the dirty mud. His lips repeated over and over. “It was just a few hours ago! Dead. Now, they are all dead….”

Kenley sat blankly on the ground. He didn’t know what to say when he heard this young man rave and cry.

The X2 Combat Helicopter let out a rumbling sound of wind. The winds generated from his propellers blue against the mud on the ground and caused everyone’s hairs to move. However, such winds were incapable of blowing away their boundless sorrow.

A dozen or so rescuers wearing white uniforms quickly descended from the helicopter. They quickly discerned the identities of the dead bodies. After they finished determining that none of them were alive, they moved these recruits, who had died in battle, onto stretchers.

Bang….

The stretchers fitted with dead bodies were moved into the cabin of the helicopter. The corpses rolled along with the stretchers inside, letting out muffled sounds.

The muffled sound was like a bullet, shocking all the recruits souls.

“Stop!” Xing Wuyi’s stood up and saw how the medical personnel were treating the corpses like trash as they tossed them into the cabin. Faint words came from his lips. “We don’t need you. We can handle our own brothers.”

Without any orders at all, thirty recruits bent down and began moving bodies into the cabin of the aircraft. Some carried them by themselves in their arms and some carried them together, but they all rocked as they moved.

Qin Fen carried Du Zhanpeng as he walked past several of the medical personnel who didn’t understand what had happened. His voice was very soft as he said, “They are all heroes. Heroes shouldn’t receive the treatment of being dumped like trash.”

Du Peng received emergency treatment immediately when he was lifted onto the stretcher, for he was still alive.

Smoke had yet to disperse from the island, but the few X2 helicopters already began to rise slowly into the sky.

Not many people knew that a fierce battle happened here. Even fewer people knew that nearly sixty recruits lost their lives here.

Within the aircraft, Xing Wuyi was just like a wooden statue. He stared blankly at Du Zhanpeng who was on Qin Fen’s chest. This man possessed dazzling prospects. This man should have had a radiant life. However, he stupidly chose this path.

“He is my little brother.”

“It’s okay if that little fellow hates me.”

“I am his big brother, after all.”

“He doesn’t need to know. Really. I just need to do what good big brother should do, and that will be fine.”

“Wuyi, if you tell him, then we can no longer be friends.”

“Wuyi, if someday in the future, something unexpected really does happen to me, can you help me look after him?”

“Treat him like you treat me.”

Xing Wuyi’s mind flashed with all sorts of memories of the past. Du Zhanpeng, who many people saw as forever arrogant, who many people saw as forever pushing out and oppressing his younger brother, only revealed this completely different side of him before Xing Wuyi.

“I hate him….” Xing Wuyi let out some ice-cold words from between his teeth. He tilted his head and looked at the unconscious Du Peng. “Why? Why must an older brother pay such a price for his little brother?”

It was as if Xing Wuyi’s neck was installed with a steel drill. He stiffly turned his head back to look at Du Zhanpeng. “I really hate him. I really do. However, you can rest easy. I told you before that I absolutely won’t break my word on this matter. I will follow him, and I will treat him just like I treated you.”
