Chapter 48: Recognizing Each Other

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Yingzhou circled the Sili Chong continuously, his eyes fixed on the wound on the creature's body that had been struck by Yingfang. The wound on this bug had not healed!

Seizing the opportunity, Yingzhou did not hesitate to drive his buzzing Chainsword fiercely into that wound.

The Sili Chong was in immense pain; it let out a shrill screech and tried to pierce Yingzhou's chest with its sharp forelimbs, but Yingzhou did not give it a chance to resist. With a sudden surge of strength in his right arm, he cut the Chainsword straight into the Sili Chong's body, sawing it directly into two halves.

With a dull thud, the internal organs and green blood inside the Sili Chong's body gushed out like a fountain from the opening cut by the Chainsword.

"Phew... finally took care of this Zerg," Yingzhou sighed in relief, flicking the green blood off the Chainsword onto the ground, and muttered to himself.

At the same time, Xu Fenqiu had also successfully dealt with those Sili Chong. However, what Xu Fenqiu found unexpected was that the way those soldiers wearing gas masks dealt with the Sili Chong was simply a fight to the death. After a fierce battle, only three soldiers survived in the end.

"Are these soldiers all crazy? They clearly have no Spiritual Power, yet they were actually able to take down three Sili Chong," a squad member beside Xu Fenqiu said in surprise, their tone filled with disbelief.

"But their fighting spirit is worthy of admiration," Xu Fenqiu said, glancing at the surviving Krieg Cavalry.

"We must evacuate as soon as possible. The Hatchery has been destroyed for a while now, and the Zerg will definitely send stronger bugs to investigate the situation. If we don't retreat in time, the consequences will be dire."

Xu Fenqiu walked over to Yingzhou, intending to pat Yingzhou on the shoulder, but realized that given his height, he would have to raise his arm to reach Yingzhou's shoulder, so he gave up and spoke.

"Alright, let's leave quickly!" Yingzhou nodded and replied.

The four Biochemical Warhorses soon left the area and galloped toward the distance. Not long after everyone had left, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky; it descended as rapidly as lightning and finally landed steadily at the location of the Hatchery.

This black shadow was a massive Zerg, and it exuded a powerful aura that made people shudder. It stood there quietly, seemingly sensing everything around it. After a while, it suddenly let out a sharp cry, then spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Meanwhile, Yingzhou and the others were urging their Biochemical Warhorses, rushing back to the camp without stopping.

After a long journey, they finally returned to the camp at dusk. The atmosphere in the camp was very tense at this time, and everyone wore a serious expression on their face. When they saw Yingzhou and the others return, looks of ecstatic joy immediately appeared on their faces.

Ajie was talking about something with the man who had previously made a deal with Yingzhou. When they saw Xu Fenqiu and the others, that man's body trembled violently, and he spoke with an excitement he could not hide.

"Captain! You actually came back alive!" His voice was filled with surprise and disbelief.

Xu Fenqiu jumped off his Biochemical Warhorse, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Yes, this was truly a brush with death. If it weren't for good luck, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to see you all again. It's just that Zijie... he sacrificed himself. Lao Huo, how are you all doing? Did you encounter any other dangers on the way?"

Lao Huo shook his head and replied, "Sigh, there's nothing to be done when people sacrifice themselves. We were quite smooth on the way. Those Zerg should have all returned to the Hatchery side. However, I am quite surprised that the survivors here were actually able to withstand the Zerg's attack."

"I know about that. How is it, have you made contact with the Military District?" Xu Fenqiu nodded and asked.

"Yes, contact has been made. They will send a Transport Aircraft to pick us up soon," Lao Huo replied.

Yingzhou got off his Biochemical Warhorse, and Ajie walked up and whispered to Yingzhou, "Yingzhou, they are people from the Human Alliance Military District. Can we leave this place this time?"

"Yes, we can. We are lucky that there is still a Transport Aircraft that can come to pick us up," Yingzhou said to Ajie with a smile.

Yingfang, who was to the side, heard Ajie say the two words "Yingzhou" and his mind went blank. He stared blankly at Yingzhou, his entire person petrified on the spot.

Yingfang was incredibly shocked in his heart: "This person is also called Yingzhou? Could he really be my younger brother? But..."

Yingzhou also noticed Yingfang's abnormality at this time and said with a smile, "Big Brother, you still didn't recognize me after all."

Yingfang only felt as if his head had been heavily knocked, buzzing. He widened his eyes, unable to believe that the tall and mighty man in front of him was actually his younger brother—Yingzhou—whose death notice he had received.

"Boom!"

Yingfang felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. His younger brother, who was relatively thin and weak, had gone to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao, so how did he become such a big guy? This didn't look like the same person at all!

Yingfang opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time. He looked Yingzhou up and down, trying to find some familiar shadows on him, but he searched for a long time without finding a single clue; the current Yingzhou had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Seeing Yingfang standing there in a daze, Yingzhou couldn't help but laugh. He waved his broad palm in front of Yingfang and teased, "Big Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me?"

Yingfang finally came back to his senses, grabbed Yingzhou's hand, and was moved to tears: "You really are Yingzhou?! My younger brother?"

"Genuine and authentic. Just had some small changes at school," Yingzhou replied with a smile.

"But... I heard from Mother that you had already... at school, and my brother clearly didn't look like you. It's only been half a year, how could there be such a big change!" Yingfang was already somewhat incoherent at this time, and still somewhat disbelieved the fact that this strong man in front of him was Yingzhou.

Yingzhou looked at Yingfang, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes; he understood Yingfang's confusion and shock. He knew that his changes were indeed too great for Yingfang to accept.

After some explanation, Yingfang finally confirmed that the strong man in front of him was his own younger brother, Yingzhou.

Yingfang looked at Yingzhou, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what Yingzhou had experienced, but he knew that his younger brother was still alive, and that was enough. He patted Yingzhou's thick arm hard, his eyes filled with tears.

"Little brother, you really are still alive," Yingfang said, choking up, his voice filled with excitement.

"Yes, just a bit of good luck. Otherwise, I would have died upon arriving here. Once the Transport Aircraft arrives, we can leave this hellhole," seeing Yingfang choking up, Yingzhou patted his shoulder to comfort him.
