Chapter 913: Mutual Destruction
Yang Yu and Rena arrived at Guinea Bay almost simultaneously, met up, and immediately rushed to the hospital.
But when they arrived at that small hospital, there was nothing left but ruins and a pile of charred corpses!
It was clear that the hospital had been bombarded into this state, and those who were once alive were either blown up by bombs or burned alive!
"Damn it!" Yang Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Rena, quickly find someone to ask if there are any survivors!"
"Alright." Rena ordered her subordinates to search around for witnesses, and soon found several teenagers.
These teenagers were all skin and bones, with vacant, lifeless eyes.
A mercenary fluent in the local language immediately asked them, "What happened here?"
"Are you friends of theirs?" One of the teenagers suddenly grinned, showing a mouthful of black teeth, "Give money, or give me that kind of stuff, and I'll tell you what happened here."
The mercenary gave the teenager a hundred US dollars, and the eyes of the other teenagers immediately lit up: "We want it too, or none of us will talk!"
The mercenary was about to lose his temper, but Yang Yu gave each of them another hundred US dollars.
After receiving the hundred US dollars, one of the teenagers said to them, "I advise you to go back quickly, the Crow Gang people are not to be messed with."
Another said, "Your friend killed one of the leaders of those people, they got angry and sent people to flatten this place."
"It seems like your friends went to that small forest ahead, a big group of them. But I agree with Aaron, listen to our advice, don't go send yourselves to die."
"Yes, I heard there's an undead wizard in the Crow Gang who can control skeletons. Even when two big forces fight to the death, they didn't dare to mess with those people..."
"Let's go!" Understanding the situation, Yang Yu immediately led Rena and a group of mercenaries to the small forest behind the city.
"I told you the Crow Gang people are vicious, you just insist on dying, can't be bothered with you." The teenagers looked at the US dollars in their hands, their previously dull eyes shining, "Let's go, buy goods!"
More than a hundred Crow Gang members blocked the forest exit, without forcing through.
They couldn't understand, those people were clearly powerful, but why were they protecting a bunch of powerless weaklings?
If those people wanted to leave, they wouldn't mind letting them go, they just needed to capture the dozens of defenseless hostages.
By then, they could extort money from their families using the hostages.
But those powerful people, even at the cost of their lives, insisted on protecting the weaklings, this both frustrated and angered them.
They had already lost dozens of people trying to capture these hostages.
If they failed to capture these hostages again, they'd be in big trouble back home.
Getting beaten wouldn't be the worst of it, the most terrifying was the creepy old guy who could turn the living into moving skeletons!
The thought of that old monster sent a shiver through the Crow Gang men, reigniting their determination. A small leader shouted, "Brothers, don't lose heart. Their people are injured and without food, they won't last long. We'll block here, and in half a day we'll go in, by then they'll be waiting for us to capture them."
Hearing what the small leader said, the anxious crowd finally relaxed a bit.
Yeah, those Xia Country people shouldn't last much longer, right?
Just as they were planning to continue their ambush, the small leader received a call: "Boss, what's up? What? Someone's coming to rescue those Xia Country people, we need to act faster? Okay!"
The small leader hung up, eyes fierce: "Charge in now, capture if you can, if not, kill!"
Jiang Xiaoliang leaned against a tree, his face pale.
His arm was gone, blown off.
Even with such a severe injury, his wound was just bandaged with cloth, barely stopping the bleeding, without any sterilizing medicine.
The others weren't as badly injured as him, because those more severely injured had already died in the hospital.
Yes, they lost more than ten teammates fighting out of the hospital.
If not for those teammates buying them time, they wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
Even so, Jiang Xiaoliang, the last to leave the hospital, still got his arm blown off, becoming an injured escapee.
He was too weak from blood loss to fight anymore.
Sniper Luo Bing, who was caring for him, had eyes already red.
"It's alright." Jiang Xiaoliang gently patted Luo Bing's arm with his remaining hand, "It's just an arm, once we return to Xia Country, I'll resign with Captain Long, go home and get married, alright?"
"Alright." Luo Bing couldn't hold back her tears, "Xiao Liang, stop talking, rest well, reinforcements are on the way..."
"Mm." Jiang Xiaoliang smiled slightly, "Captain Long won't abandon us..."
"They've charged in!" A teammate ran over, face grave, "We're moving now, retreat further inside!"
"Let's go!" Luo Bing wanted to help Jiang Xiaoliang up but was firmly held back by him, "I can't move, just let me stay."
Luo Bing anxiously said, "No, even if we have to carry you, we're taking you!"
"Luo Bing, I'm too injured to move around anymore," Jiang Xiaoliang said, "If I fall into their hands, they'll want to ransom me, they won't let me die, you still have a chance to rescue me. But if I go with you, there's a big chance I won't survive. Please, listen."
Luo Bing's teeth were about to bite through, yet she nodded: "Alright, we're leaving!"
Luo Bing stood up, walking away without looking back.
She didn't dare to look back, fearing that one glance would make her reluctant to leave.
Watching them leave, Jiang Xiaoliang's face showed a bittersweet smile: "Luo Bing, I hope the reinforcements arrive soon, take everyone back to Huaxia. I'm sorry, I can't return."
Over a hundred men arrived quickly, seeing only Jiang Xiaoliang sitting alone against a tree, a small leader frowned slightly.
A subordinate asked, "Captain, should we kill him or take him?"
Jiang Xiaoliang laughed, "You might as well kill me, I've killed quite a few of your brothers!"
Hearing this, the small leader hesitated no more, "Kill him, we don't need one more hostage... Damn it!"
Jiang Xiaoliang suddenly leapt up, tackling the small leader with one hand.
The others dared not shoot, fearing the consequences.
The next moment, Jiang Xiaoliang used his teeth to pull the pin from a grenade.
With a "boom", the two of them exploded together!
