Huang Yixiao’s expression twisted. He reacted quickly, running as soon as he saw Zhang Su and Ju Mumio dash toward the detonator, luckily avoiding the explosion. Hearing his companion’s questions, he lowered his voice and cursed angrily, "How the hell should I know what to do?"
Then he continued to aim and shoot, not knowing exactly what to do, but understanding that if they didn’t take care of the people from Celestial Horse Island, there was no way to escape.
"Those who can move, stay and rescue. Xiaochen, you handle those on the north, I’ll take care of the bastards to the south!"
Murderous intent filled Zhang Su’s heart as he used sounds to locate the positions of the survivors on the other side, then darted out from behind the car with agility.
"Leave it to me!" Chen Hanzhou said without hesitation and took off running, his not-so-weak combat abilities combined with his healing capacity made him fearless in the face of the current situation.
"Hey, wait up!"
Zheng Xinyu had just rushed back only to see Zhang Su charging out from the smoke and dust again.
"Sis, help save people. Brother Su will be fine."
Wang Xin grabbed Zheng Xinyu, who was about to chase after Zhang Su.
If Zhang Su couldn’t handle it, then going would likely just mean sending more heads their way. It was better to finish the tasks the boss had assigned, as the scene truly needed people to handle it.
"Yes, let’s hurry up and rescue the others!"
Ju Mumio initially wanted to rush out to help but ultimately decided to follow the command and look at the bigger picture. Meanwhile, she gestured to Zheng Xinyu, meaning, hand me the C4...
Zheng Xinyu hurriedly handed the hot potato back to Ju Mumio, then joined in the rescue efforts.
"Quick, hurry and check how they are doing!"
Yang Xinqi wasn’t pinned by the car, but his head was heavily knocked, with a gash on his forehead, blurring his vision with shooting stars and double images. But he didn’t care about his own injuries, urgently wanting to know the situation of those companions captured by Absolute Justice.
In comparison to the combatants, the ordinary Apocalypse Corps members were relatively fine. When Zhang Su threw the C4, everyone was on the ground, and due to the chain reaction, it wasn’t easy for anyone to stand, so they simply stayed down. Being some distance from the explosion, only more than a dozen people at the front suffered varying degrees of injuries, but all were non-fatal.
"Medicine, King Yama, holy medicine, I need the holy medicine, a brother is not going to make it!"
Suddenly, Liu Yao shouted, with blood all over his head, but they were just flesh wounds, not caring for himself as he held a grievously injured companion in his arms.
The person was hit by shrapnel from the explosion near the collarbone, causing a large gash on the neck, bleeding profusely...
"Coming, medicine is coming!"
Zheng Xinyu naturally knew what Liu Yao meant by holy medicine, but when she pulled out a piece of zombie thalamus and ran to Liu Yao’s side, her outstretched arm went limp, a look of regret upon her face.
No matter how miraculous the healing properties of a zombie thalamus were, they needed to be ingested to work, and at that moment, the person Liu Yao was holding had lifeless eyes with no sparkle, and their chest’s rise and fall had ceased, clearly indicating they had breathed their last.
"Oh, Xiaobei! Save people, yes, save people... there are still brothers injured!"
Liu Yao could also feel the passing of his companion’s life, and with great sorrow, he laid him down and then joined in the efforts to treat the other casualties.
"Damn it, you dog, you’re still alive!"
On Chen Hanzhou’s side, rushing swiftly through the sea of flames, the ground littered with burning car wreckage and body parts. These things weren’t frightening after seeing so many zombies. Following a coughing sound, he found Absolute Justice’s survivors and upon seeing the two who had lived, gave a sinister grin.
Leizi had somehow managed a miracle to stay alive, but his condition was miserable. One arm was entirely gone, with the shoulder and ribs covered in blood, his clothing a tattered mess, barely clinging to life.
"Don’t kill, don’t kill me... go to hell!"
Next to Leizi, another survivor was not in life-threatening danger. Pretending to retreat, he picked up a handgun from behind a car wheel and pulled the trigger at Chen Hanzhou.
Bang.
A cloud of dust burst from Chen Hanzhou’s chest and abdomen—he had been shot!
"Haha, you die, uh..."
The man, having shot Chen Hanzhou, didn’t have time to celebrate before seeing the other’s body jerk from the impact of the bullet. Then he stepped forward, a steel rod aimed straight at him.
In close-range shooting, without Zhang Su or Ju Mumio’s "Observation Haki," Chen Hanzhou couldn’t dodge at all but didn’t need to. His petrifying skin as a bulletproof vest, enhanced by his formidable self-healing ability, meant as long as it wasn’t a headshot, he wouldn’t die.
Pfft!
The man was knocked to the ground by the steel rod, ready to continue firing. But before he could aim, his vision went black as a blade grew out of the other’s hand, piercing pain surging through his heart. In his final moments, he realized the other only had one arm.
"Ah..."
The handgun fell aside, and he strained to push Chen Hanzhou away, but his strength was gone.
With a bizarre sound, the man’s brain was completely pierced, head tilted in death at the scene.
Thunk...
Just as Chen Hanzhou finished dealing with the man, he was struck in the back by something weak, turning to see Leizi slumped on the ground, having thrown a piece of car debris at him...
