Chapter 375 - The Death of a Compatriot (2/2)

This man did not answer, and kept repeating the word: Devil! Fear could plainly be seen in his eyes. Xiao Bing felt that if he kept asking, he still would not get the answer, and this might lead to the man having a mental breakdown and go berserk.

Xiao Bing slumped to the ground and sighed, “What should I do now. I can’t save you in this forest. You have been so seriously wounded.”

Xiao Bing grasped the man’s arm and began feeling his pulse. Then he sighed. A second later, determination appeared in his eyes. He looked at this delirious man who might not have understood a single word he was about to say, “I’m sorry.”

Then Xiao Bing took out a pocket watch from his chest and swung it before this man. He snapped his fingers while saying, “You are tired now. You just want to rest. You’re about sleep. You are having a dream and it is a nightmare. Can you tell me what it is about?”

Xiao Bing’s skill of hypnotism was the best in the world, since he learned it from Han Huabin, a top master of this art. Xiao Bing had studied this man’s notes many times, yet he merely grasped the fundamental of it.

But this man’s mentality was weak now, which meant that if Xiao Bing managed to get all the answers, this man would probably die. It took a lot for Xiao Bing to make this decision. It was not because Xiao Bing was a cruel man. It was because this man would die soon after. If he could tell Xiao Bing something useful, his death would not be meaningless. Xiao Bing might even be able to avenge him.

“I… I…” The bewilderment was plain in his eyes.

“Tell me your name first.”

“Zhen Qiao. My name is Zhen Qiao…”

“Zhen Qiao?” Xiao Bing frowned. He found this name quite familiar. Then he suddenly realized something and said in surprise, “You are Zhen Qiao? The one in the special force? You are the second runner-up of the fighting competition of Cathysian State Commando Contest?”

Xiao Bing remembered this name. At that time, when Xiao Bing was still the captain at Dragon Teeth, there had been a competition held among the soldiers from the commando unit, which was quite an important event. A man name Zhen Qiao was the second runner-up of the competition. However, members of Dragon Teeth were not allowed to join, otherwise they would have won all the prizes. But this Zhen Qiao was doubtlessly skilled. After all, the soldiers of the special unit were all the elite of the elites. Xiao Bing surmised that this man must have reached the Transforming-strength stage, even if he was not in the innate realm.

He had never expected that a man with so many honors would end up like this, in this place.

“Yes… It was five years ago.”

Pride overcame fear when he spoke of this.

“Then why did you come to R Country? Why are you trapped here?”

“I…” Zhen Qiao searched for the answer in his memories. “My teammates and I were injured when we were carrying out a mission, and then a bunch of people from R country surrounded us. They took us to a ship. But we were not the only captives there. Most of them have reached the stage of Concealing-strength and Transforming-strength. Few of them were at Clear-strength stage. There were over 30 of us and everyone’s scapulas were penetrated, which made us unable to fight. The leader of these men was called Feng XIII and the second-in-command was Nakata Ichiro, who is extremely brutal. They had ten men at their disposal. They sailed the ship into the sea of R country and anchored at a desolate place. We tried to rebel, only to get hurt badly. We were all exiled on this land. Feng XIII left with two of his men. Nakata Ichiro forced us to enter this forest with the rest of them.”

Xiao Bing said in stunned disbelief, “They were bold enough to enter this forest? Do they and you all have the Gang-spirit to protect yourselves?”

Xiao Bing felt really bewildered.
