Chapter 182: Chapter 182: We’re Still Brothers

A massive blood hole appeared on Xu Chu’s Sweat’s back, dotted with sparks.

Xu Chu’s Sweat fell to the ground, seemingly dead.

But Qin Decang had no intention of stopping. He ran forward, raising his hand to unleash another flame.

He knew Xu Chu’s Sweat had a powerful Self-Healing Ability even before he became a monster. He couldn’t die so easily.

Xu Chu’s Sweat suddenly opened his eyes, rolled to dodge the flames, and ran toward the exit. But by this time, Chen Ling had already appeared behind him, wielding a chilling Longsword, slashing at him.

In an instant burst of speed, Xu Chu’s Sweat couldn’t dodge.

”Rip~”

With a single stroke, Chen Ling severed one of Xu Chu’s Sweat’s arms at the root, drawing a bit of blood. The blood-red, elongated arm fell to the ground, quickly dissolving into a puddle of flesh.

Zhang Daxi rushed from behind, swinging a blade at Chen Ling, accompanied by a mighty wind. Though his speed was not as fast as Chen Ling, his muscles were enhanced by Superpower, making him swift.

Chen Ling didn’t choose to attack aggressively and calmly retreated, a slight smile on his face as he saw a spear turning into a black shadow shooting from above.

Xu Chu’s Sweat noticed the oncoming spear from the person before. He tried to block it with his arm, but the spear pierced through it.

Zhang Daxi felt a sharp pain in his back. Looking down, he noticed a spearhead protruding from his abdomen, with droplets of blood falling from its tip.

A fatal blow.

This made escaping impossible. After all, he was just a human with a Superpower, not a monster.

Zhang Daxi looked around, at Chen Ling wielding a sharp blade, at the fire shooting in the sky, and at the people rapidly approaching from not far away.

He pushed Xu Chu’s Sweat backward and shouted:

”Little brother, run.”

He wouldn’t survive anyway. Even if he ran out, his injuries were beyond cure, only to await death.

Xu Chu’s Sweat’s eyes widened, his pupils trembling, watching Zhang Daxi impaled by the spear. He remembered Zhang Daxi dragging him off the battlefield, and the night Zhang Daxi ran back to save him after being mutilated by the ”Tailor.”

He took Chen Ling’s sword blow on his back, and with his remaining arm, he wrapped around Zhang Daxi’s body, ready to flee with him.

”Boom~”

Another flame exploded near Xu Chu’s Sweat.

The fire burned on him, intense pain spreading throughout his body, and red smoke continuously evaporated.

Zhang Daxi turned his head to the side, looking at the ferocious Xu Chu’s Sweat and said in a muffled voice, ”Leave me, or you won’t escape.”

”We’ll go together.”

Xu Chu’s Sweat grabbed Zhang Daxi and charged forward, showing no intention of letting go. Behind, Chen Ling was catching up.

Zhang Daxi took a deep breath, his muscles swelled, a hint of joy on his face as he said, ”We... are still brothers.”

Suddenly exerting force, he broke free from Xu Chu’s Sweat’s grip and lunged at Chen Ling, who was following.

Blood splattered on the blade.

Chen Ling swiftly pierced Zhang Daxi’s chest with the sword but was also brought down by Zhang Daxi.

Xu Chu’s Sweat turned to see Zhang Daxi lying on the ground, looking sideways at him, the light in his eyes quickly fading.

He was dead...

Xu Chu’s Sweat body trembled slightly and without further thought, recklessly sprinted outward, gradually disappearing into the crimson mist.

Chen Ling chased all the way to the exit, then stopped. Though his speed wasn’t slower than Xu Chu’s Sweat, he wasn’t his match.

This monster’s Self-Healing Ability was incredibly strong, utterly immune to physical harm, leaving no chance of victory.

Chen Ling looked at Qin Decang, who caught up, and asked, ”Captain, what should we do now? Continue the pursuit?”

Qin Decang looked at Zhang Daxi’s corpse on the ground, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said:

”Ignore him for now. Our priority is to face the Blood Moon. And notify the team leader that some Mysterious Items might have terrifying side effects. Xu Chu’s Sweat likely turned into a monster due to a special Mysterious Item.”

The sudden turn of events wouldn’t throw him or the Security Bureau into panic.

The living shouldn’t be dragged down by the dead, nor would they be.

They dragged the corpse away without even cleaning the bloodstains, filled in the personnel gap at the exit, and everything continued as usual.

······

The blood haze thickened as if blood was dripping within the mist, and the Zombies on the streets grew increasingly frenzied, dashing in packs along the streets, giving a semblance of life to the ruined roads.

Xu Chu’s Sweat crouched in the corner of a room, back to the window, his shadow cast on the wall.

The arm that should have been severed was fully restored.

Earlier events replayed in his mind like a disordered tangle of thoughts.

Perhaps he should have quietly left alone.

Perhaps suicide was a reasonable option too.

”We are still brothers.”

Zhang Daxi looked sideways at him, reflected flames in his pupils, no smile on his face, seriously bidding farewell to his old friend, even if this friend had become a monster.

······

Zhang Daxi’s image before death became increasingly vivid in his mind, as if carved with a knife, piercing through, etched in blood and flesh.

Making him feel unprecedented pain.

”Qin Decang, Chen Ling... you wait for me.”

His hand pounded on the floor, creating more and more cracks, the dust vibrating with each strike.

The sound of pounding echoed in the room...

Outside, the street was littered with Zombie corpses, resembling shriveled mummies, drained of blood.

The blood of Zombies differed greatly from human blood. If human blood was like food, then Zombie blood was like a drug.

Xu Chu’s Sweat could distinctly feel that with each extraction, he grew stronger to some extent. The effect of Zombie blood was even more pronounced, containing something special within.

However, each time he extracted blood, it further damaged his own integrity, as if drawing strange colors on a sketch.

This was his bargaining chip, his means for revenge.

Xu Chu’s Sweat was neither a good man nor a gentleman, a complete scoundrel.

But perhaps now he couldn’t even be considered human.
