Chapter 238

"Cough… cough…"

The man began to cough violently.

The others lying in the cargo compartment joined in laughing, but the laughter didn't last long.

When the military truck came to a stop, Su Yang tried to rise, but suddenly found his limbs weak, a crushing wave of exhaustion slamming into him.

It felt as if every bone in his body had been pulled out!

Su Yang remembered—he had just used Power Burst.

His Power Burst had lasted a long time.

But humans always have limits; no matter how long you push, there's always a Period of weakness afterward.

His body was drenched in thick, sticky blood, his clothes torn and hanging off him, unbearable.

The cargo door opened; one still-mobile member of the emergency squad showed off by jumping down—but lost his balance and landed face-first in the dirt.

"Quick, lift them up!"

Su Yang saw two strong women leap onto the cargo bed and lift him up.

"What's wrong? Exhausted?"

Su Yang nodded: "Yes!"

"Want a bath?"

One woman called out.

"How?"

"We can help!"

"Uh… I don't need one!"

"Then we'll get a man, but those guys are rough…"

Su Yang insisted: "A man!"

Soon, two soldiers lifted Su Yang up.

They carried him straight into a room, stripped his tattered clothes off, placed him in a tub filled with warm water, and washed his body for him.

"Won't this be too much trouble?"

One young soldier said: "No problem, it's our duty—your Emergency Squad friends worked hard!"

Su Yang turned one full tub of hot water blood-red; after three tubs were changed, the two helped him put on pajamas.

They also brought food and fed him until he was full.

"We'll all stand guard at the door—call out if you need anything!"

"Mm!"

The light was turned off; the door slowly closed.

Su Yang could hear soft breathing.

Sleepiness overwhelmed him; he quickly lost consciousness and fell into a drowsy slumber.

On the southern wall of Jiacheng, the mayor of Jiacheng lit a cigarette for Team Ten's captain, Shen Yan.

Sitting on the wall, Mu Yuankai looked down at the pitted ground below and said: "Captain Zhu, we truly owe our lives to Su Yang this time!"

Deputy Mayor Bai Ming added: "Without him, we might've lost half our Gold-rank Beast Tamer team… Without him, our wall might've collapsed. That kid's pet beast—somehow overturned more than ten Rock-Armored Giant Rhinos!"

"I never expected his Hellblood Vine Flower to be that powerful. I knew his strength was high, but I didn't realize he'd been hiding some of his ability!"

Zhu Xiaoshuang smiled and looked at Mu Yuankai: "But we still suffered heavy losses this time—especially you. You won't recover fully for at least two years, right?"

"It's fine. I can capture some common Platinum-rank ferocious beasts to hold the line. The beasts of Golden Tooth Mountain don't riot every day—if they did, I'd have evacuated long ago!"

Shen Yan took a drag of his cigarette and muttered: "We should've made Yao's squad bring another emergency team along."
