Chapter 188 Promise

By the time Wang Feng woke up, he didn’t know how long it had been. He opened his eyes and saw the white wall and a man who was looking at something carefully. But it didn’t look like a hospital, because he smelled nothing like disinfectant in the room.

“You are awake?” He asked as if he had heard Wang Feng turning the bedclothes, without turning to look at Wang Feng.

“Where am I?” Touching his head, Wang Feng tried to get up, only to feel a sharp pain in his back, which made him move with piercing pain.

“Don’t worry, you are absolutely safe here. Just rest and wait for your wound to heal.” At this time, the man finally turned around. He looked like he was in his 50s.

Although he was much older than Wang Feng, he looked hale and hearty. He must have reached the Internal Strength level.

“You’re lucky to be alive after taking over 30 bullets. You’re the strongest man I’ve ever seen,” the man, who was his doctor, said in a tone of shock.

They were all shocked when they ripped Wang Feng’s shirt open and saw his severe injuries. Almost his whole back was covered with bullet holes.

But even so, Wang Feng still survived with several masters trying to save him.

It was rare for a man to be so tough.

“Where are the others?” asked Wang Feng, with a look of pain on his face.

“What other people?” The man glanced at Wang Feng, and then nudged his glasses from the bridge of his nose. “Now, what you need to do is to take care of your own body. Although we have managed to cure most of your injuries, you need to use the cultivation methods you have learned so that you can recover as soon as possible.”

“Just answer the question. Where are the others?” Wang Feng became gloomy and his tone was more serious.

“You mean your team?”

“Where are they now? What’s going on?” Wang Feng added.

“Oh, the dead have been buried on the spot, the living have been collectively placed in the ward downstairs. They are all safe now,” the man spoke in a flat voice and didn’t show much regret for the deaths of so many people.

As for them, it didn’t matter how many lives they had lost.

“What are you doing? Are you trying to die?” Just as the man finished his words, he saw Wang Feng struggling to get out of the bed. He was startled.

It was not easy to save Wang Feng. He should feel grateful that he was still alive. The superior had given the order that he needed to keep a close eye on Wang Feng. So, what he needed to do was to help Wang Feng recover. Doing things like that wouldn’t help him recover at all!

“I’m going to see them,” said Wang Feng, coming out of the bed and enduring the serious pain.

He was injured all over his body, even his legs, so when he stood up, he could immediately feel his legs go weak. With the severe pain, he almost knelt on the ground.

Fortunately, the doctor regained his composure and quickly held him up so that he did not kneel. The wound had only just been sewn up. If he did kneel, he would affect his whole body, which would definitely bleed out.

“You can’t walk till you’re better. Just wait for a couple of days,” said the doctor. And he was about to put Wang Feng back to bed.

But at that time, Wang Feng fiercely pushed him away. “I don’t need your help, I want to see them,” said Wang Feng. Then he endured the pain and left the room without looking back.

Although he felt severe pain and every step he took seemed that he was pierced by a needle, it wouldn’t mean anything when he thought of the deaths of his team.

They were left in the forest forever. And at last, they were almost all dead. He wondered how many of them had survived. He wanted to see what had happened to them.

There were originally 34 people. And a lot of them died, so the number of people who survived might be less than 10.

Even then, Wang Feng could still remember their steely looks. But since they were gone, they could no longer serve their country.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Feng managed to hold back the tears that were about to fall from his eyes. He staggered downstairs, holding on to the wall.

“Wait a minute,” said the doctor. He finally understood what Wang Feng was going to do, catching up with him with a stick in the corner.

He really didn’t care about his own life. With all those injuries, he was still thinking about his team.

With the doctor’s help, Wang Feng finally went to the door of the ward where Zhong Xiaoqian and the others were settled. Outside the room, there was a deadly silence. Everything was so quiet that it could even give anyone a scare.

Standing there for a long time, Wang Feng did not push the door open. Finally, the doctor opened it for him.

The ward was big with over ten beds. But the people who were actually in the ward were less than 10.

As the door was opened, those who were awake looked at the door.

They were all so excited when they saw Wang Feng. That kind of thrill was like seeing an old friend again.

Too many people had died on that mission. They were the lucky ones, and they also knew that if Wang Feng didn’t rush into the enemy’s camp and held off dozens of people at the last minute, they would be dead by then.

It was Wang Feng who had saved their lives. They could even say that Wang Feng traded his own life for theirs. Although the mission failed, they really admired and respected Wang Feng.

They saw what Wang Feng did. Wang Feng might not have been a good leader, but he was a man who put other people’s lives over his.

They were lucky to meet a guy like Wang Feng. Now they looked at Wang Feng as if he were a real officer.

Wang Feng was their leader, their team member, and brother. Although that relationship was formed in three days, it was stronger than anything else.

That was what they had in the army. They were unstoppable and determined. And they even died for their team.

The team members looked at Wang Feng. They were all emotional. But Wang Feng felt that he was going to burst into tears.

He didn’t like crying. He didn’t cry much since he was a child. Even when he was bullied, he would only find his way to fight back.

But at the moment, looking at those men with bodies filled with scars, Wang Feng felt as if a stone were pressing against his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

There were very few people, so it was almost obvious to Wang Feng how many people were gone. 34 of them went to the mission. Only 7 of them were left, which meant that 27 people had died. They were the only ones who survived.

Duan Yi, the deputy captain, died. Dongfang Yu’er, the great beauty, also died. More brothers died in the mission. In order to escort a so-called national treasure, they paid an extremely heavy price. More than 20 lives were lost.

“Stay still,” Wang Feng said, as each of them struggled to get up.

However, because of his shout and use of strength, he started to cough heavily with blood.

“Don’t get emotional. You can’t do that to yourself in this situation,” said the doctor, horrified to see Wang Feng coughing up blood.

“I know myself better than you do. I won’t die, so let me go,” Wang Feng said, slowly pushing the doctor away and plodding into the ward.

Looking at the pale and excited faces, Wang Feng only felt the madness in his heart. His emotions rose, and he felt the pain in his chest, as if about to explode.

He knew that there was something wrong with his body, so he had to force that feeling down. The most important thing at the moment was to heal. He could have his revenge when he recovered.

In order to have his revenge, he had to survive.

“Captain,” said one of the soldiers, looking at Wang Feng. He was badly wounded, with his head covered with gauze and his hands and feet suspended on sticks.

“Stop talking, just try to get better,” Wang Feng said, taking a look at the soldier and then moving on to someone else.

“I’m sorry, Captain. We held you back,” said one of the soldiers, when Wang Feng was looking at him. Then he burst into tears with a look of deep remorse on his face.

When they were rescued, they saw Wang Feng’s body. He looked like a dead man. If Wang Feng hadn’t tried to save them, he would have left long before. It was Wang Feng who saved all of them. They owed it to Wang Feng.

“There is nothing to feel sorry for. I’m so glad to see you guys lying here. That was worth it. It’s me who didn’t know how to be a good leader and caused the deaths of more than 20 people. I will avenge them. I will make those foreign soldiers pay in blood.”

Wang Feng’s voice was so strong that no one could doubt the truth of it, even if it wasn’t murderous.

An eye for an eye. The sacrifice of Dongfang Yu’er and the others would not be in vain.

It was Wang Feng’s promise!
