Chapter 15 (2/2)
Blood, brains, bones and even the eyeballs were smashed apart due to the punch!
And Cheng Zhong used a table leg he found from god knows where, and stuck it right between the raider’s legs!
Gengci~
Final Kill!
Seeing that their leader had already died, the subordinates all got scared. However, the enraged Earth espers have already surrounded them and closed in together!
……
On the left side of the street beside a pile of debris, on the steps in front of a store, Han, Cheng Zhong, and the monk sat together. Everyone was holding a bottle of beer which was forced into their hands by an old man they didn’t know.
The old man’s granddaughter was among the group of girls saved today. He was so excited that he cried like a child and didn’t know what else to do that was enough to thank these boys. He distributed the food in his grocery basket to all the espers that participated in the rescue. He’s already very old with a whole head of white hair, but he bowed to every single one of the espers, nonstop.
Ambulances arrived at the scene one by one, carrying away the deceased heroes, those that used their life to stop the raiders.
In the middle of the street, a young beautiful girl in her white wedding dress was crying, her groom was laying there peacefully in a pool of blood. It was just a blink of an eye but the wedding became a funeral. The most tragic thing on Earth could be none other than a turn of events like this.
Han let out a long sigh, said to Cheng and the monk, “I couldn’t believe it, all the espers on Earth are actually really united, everyone just charged with their life on the line.”
Cheng Zhong faintly smiled, “Aren’t you the same? The greater your power is, the greater your responsibility is. Seeing the evil people doing sinful deeds, how could us espers just stand there and watch?”
The monk was just sitting there, repeating what the deceased strength descent esper was saying, “Doesn’t matter how small Earth is, it’s still our home.”
The crowd got bigger and bigger, the ones that were saved were busy crying and thanking the espers, everyone that walked past Han, Cheng Zhong and the Monk all thanked them, and a pretty little girl gave them each a little flower.
Han didn’t like being thanked, because he felt he did something he should today. The real heroes were those that were killed in action today.
“Where are you guys going?” Cheng Zhong asked.
“Home.” Han looked at the direction of his home.
“I’m going to the hospital.” Cheng Zhong pointed at his burned wound on his shoulder.
……
Han gave Li Qi a call, and walked home mindlessly like a zombie.
Everything that had happened today was too much for Han. It was his first experience in such a bloody battle, and it only reminded him about the kind of situation Earth was in.
This was reality, the weak will get bullied, those bastards dared to raid Earth under the broad daylight to capture slaves. Why? It was just because Earth was too weak.
And those deceased espers, they deserved respect. Han would never forget, the young groom that didn’t even take off his wedding suit to fight. His eyes betrayed his determination, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
“The greater your power is, the greater your responsibility is…” Han laid dead on his sofa, repeating the same line to himself.
The TV was showing the list of deceased heroes from today’s event.
Peng Zuolin, 33 years old, two star esper, strength descent, from Jiang Su province.
Hu Hai, 24 years old, one star esper, fire descent, from Hunan.
Li Yunjin, 19 years old, one star esper, ice descent, from Shanghai
Liang Xuedong, 15 years old, wind descent, from Zhejiang.
Looking at these lively and unfamiliar faces, Han slowly tightened his fist.
