C498 Punishment

After missing out on a good opportunity to kill Ah Ming, Xiao Dao and the rest still could not raise their spirits, Meng Hai's death was simply too big of a blow to them. Xiao Dao, Meng Hai, Tang Dong and Guang Ping were all old people from the old gang, but he could only watch Meng Hai die in front of him.

The darkness of the night seemed to be unable to dissipate. The clouds were pressing down on one's heart like a thousand jin boulder, causing one to be unable to breathe.

Xiao Dao and Guang Ping lied on the surface of the bridge with their backs and legs facing each other, allowing the night wind to whisper softly in their ears. It was unknown how much time had passed when someone suddenly stood up. Xiao Dao and Guang Ping blankly stood at the edge of the railing of the viaduct, quietly watching the scene under the viaduct. They were speechless.

On the wide street, several balls of flames were crackling like bonfires, but there was no festive atmosphere. Six cargo trucks were parked all over the street. Blood was flying everywhere on the trucks. Some of the trucks had been burned, while others had been smashed into a pile of hemp. The scene was very chaotic.

Hundreds of corpses lay on the ice-cold ground. Broken arms and heads could be seen everywhere. There were also quite a few corpses that looked like blood sauce without a doubt. It was simply impossible to see their appearance. Bright knife s were scattered all over the ground, and the blade edge was stained with fresh blood.

There were also dozens of broken motorcycles on the ground. Some of them had been smashed into scrap iron and some of them had exploded into pieces. However, without exception, these motorcycles were covered with large amounts of blood, like desolate flowers blooming one after another.

The world seemed to have turned blood-red. Red blood was everywhere, on the ground, on the cars, on the railings, on the concrete blocks. It was mesmerizing. The droplets of blood seemed to be denouncing this bloody society.

Some of the survivors were moaning in pain, some stood still as wood, some collapsed limply on the ground, and some had their hands over their heads and were squatting on the ground crying. Faced with such a tragic scene, it was hard not to cry, because those who fell to the ground, those who stopped breathing, and even those who didn't lack of bones, were all his brothers in life and death!

A gust of cold wind blew past. No one knew when, but two streams of clear tears flowed out from Xiao Dao and Guang Ping's cheeks. However, the two of them did not seem to have any reaction. Perhaps they did not know why they were crying, but when they saw the piles of dead bodies of their brothers, they could not help but cry. Only those who truly understood the meaning of the word "brother" could understand the meaning behind it.

"Ah ~" Xiao Dao clenched his fist and screamed at the sky. His shout carried an incomparable grief, indignation, and pain. However, he was still unable to recall the lives of the hundreds of brothers.

Ding! The flame knife in Xiao Dao's hands suddenly fell to the ground, his arms powerlessly hanging down. Then, his knees went soft, and he slowly knelt down. Xiao Dao's shoulder twitched slightly. Facing his dead brothers, he was so grieved that he could not speak.

Bang! Guang Ping also followed suit and knelt down. Two lines of clear tears were especially eye-catching under the light. Guang Ping supported his body with his hands, slowly burying his head down. He pressed his forehead against the ground and made a choked groan. Tears ran down his cheeks to the ground, condensing into sad flowers in the cold night.

"Right... Sorry... "Sorry …" Xiao Dao trembled as he spoke. Facing Cheng Shan's corpse, the only thing he could say was this.

As one of the high-ranking officers in charge of this operation, the guilt in Xiao Dao's heart surged like an endless tide. He blamed his own sins for the deaths of his brothers, and stacked all the pain onto his own body. Xiao Dao was a teenager who came from the mountains. Even though he was in a strange world, his nature remained simple and innocent.

Grief and anger were like two sharp knives, deeply stimulating the blade. Under the burning sensation, Xiao Dao felt his surroundings spin. Then, his vision went dark and he fainted.

"Knife!" Guang Ping suddenly rushed forward, his fingers holding onto the blade tightly.

After a long while, Xiao Dao slowly woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was, "Yes …" No... Rise! "

Guang Ping held Xiao Dao up and said: "Xiao Dao, we cannot blame you for this, we are all responsible for this!"

Xiao Dao asked Guang Ping, "Woodcarver, do you think we can just go back like this? Does the general assembly want to punish us?"

Guang Ping said in a low voice: "We failed boss's expectations, so punishment is unavoidable!"

Xiao Dao nodded and said, "Then go back and accept your punishment!"

The ambush lasted for about two hours. Under the attack of the Large Ring Gang's Wolf Fang squad, the 600 people from the Dragon Gang had lost over 400 people, while the Large Ring Gang's Wolf Fang squad had lost about two-thirds of their troops. They would not be able to recover in a short period of time. However, the losses sustained by the Dragon Clan far surpassed the Large Ring Gang. One of the six guards of the Large Ring Gang, Dao Ming, used the price of an arm in exchange for the lives of a Hall Master and another expert of the Dragon Clan. This ambush was probably the most disastrous attack that the Dragon Clan had suffered since the start of their battle with the Large Ring Gang.

Ah Tai sat on the chair without saying a word, coldly flipping through the casualty report in his hands, his face as though he was covered in a layer of ice. It was only when he was faced with important matters that Ah Tai would have such an expression.

Xiao Dao and Guang Ping stood about three meters away from Ah Tai with their heads bowed. They did not even dare to breathe loudly, as the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.

When the other big shots saw Ah Tai's expression, they did not dare to say a word. All of their heads were lowered and their faces were filled with grief.

Four hundred brothers, four hundred heroic souls, turned into a clump of yellow sand in two hours. No one could suppress the grief in their hearts. Especially after hearing Xiao Dao and Guang Ping's description of the entire battle, everyone could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

Many people's eyes were red. It was due to face that they did not cry out in grief.

"Boss!" Xiao Dao could not help but speak, "As one of the high-ranking officers in charge of this operation, I am responsible for this failure. I have let down my four hundred brothers, please punish me!" Xiao Dao fell to one knee as he spoke.

"Boss, I'm responsible as well!" Without saying a word, Guang Ping also knelt down.

"Boss!" We also have our responsibilities, so please punish us as well! " The injured Tang Shaodong and Wang Changzhong, whose bodies were wrapped in bandages, suddenly appeared at the door and were about to kneel down as well.

Ah Tai suddenly knocked the table, "All of you get up!"

In the Dragon Clan, Ah Tai's words were like a sacred order, no one dared to disobey it, so when Ah Tai finished speaking, Xiao Dao and the rest could only stand up helplessly.

"Boss …" Ah Tai waved his hand and cut off Xiao Dao's words.

"Enough!" Ah Tai slowly put down the casualty report, and casually picked up the fire engine on the table, lighting up the casualty report.

No one knew what Ah Tai wanted to sit on, but they all stared at him in a daze, no one daring to speak.

The firelight shone down on Ah Tai's face, it was extremely cold. Ah Tai said word by word: "I will make Large Ring Gang pay for this debt!"

After saying this, Ah Tai raised his arm, and the burning injury report suddenly went out. Ah Tai rubbed his fingers, and the casualty report turned into a cloud of dust falling down.

Ah Tai said in a sorrowful tone: "You guys can't be blamed for the failure of this operation. As the leader of the society, the failure of an operation is directly related to my decision. I am the one who deserves to be punished!" After saying this, Ah Tai suddenly raised the glass ashtray on the table and fiercely knocked it on his forehead.

The glass ashtray was extremely thick, it was as big as a fruit plate and like a brick, when Ah Tai smashed it, blood immediately flowed down from his forehead and onto the table. Ah Tai gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

Everyone came back to their senses and stood up in surprise. "Boss, what are you doing?"

Ah Tai quietly said: "With just this blood, I apologize to my fallen brothers!"

"Beng!"

The hard glass ashtray was crushed into pieces by Ah Tai, flying out in all directions. Ah Tai's eyes were bloodshot as he spat out three words from between his gritted teeth, "Great Circle Sect!"

Everyone looked at Ah Tai in a daze. As the leader of the Dragon Gang, Ah Tai's actions made all the brothers present deeply admire him. The sorrow accumulated in everyone's heart was swept away like dust, turning into an even stronger fighting spirit. To be able to follow such a boss, to be able to serve such a society, even if it meant death, what was there to regret?

It was unknown who raised his arm first and loudly shouted: "Dragon Gang!"

All the brothers were infected by this shout. At the same time, they raised their arms and shouted three times: "Dragon Gang! — Dragon Gang! — Dragon Gang!"

Ah Tai opened up his palm, and the shouts stopped, as if he had finished training them.

Ah Tai stared at the people around him and said: "As the generals of this operation, I will still punish you!"

Xiao Dao and Guang Ping looked at each other, then quickly bowed and said: "We accept the punishment!"

Ah Tai said: Deal with the aftermath of our fallen brothers!

"Ah?!" Xiao Dao and Guang Ping raised their heads, looking at each other, "Boss, punishment …"

"This is my punishment for you!" Ah Tai said.

"No!" Xiao Dao said, "Boss, isn't this kind of punishment too light? You can either beat me up or beat me up. You really make us feel uncomfortable!" Xiao Dao was originally a teenager from the countryside.

Ah Tai said: Alright, no need to say anymore, you, Guang Ping, Ah Dong, all of you. The most important thing right now is to take care of your bodies, the fallen brothers are waiting for you all to take revenge for them!

"Yes sir!" Xiao Dao and the rest replied in unison. Their eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.

Xiao Dao's current Ah Tai felt that although the two of them were at a higher level and a lower level, the friendship between the two was even greater than the relationship between the upper and lower level. This was also the reason why Xiao Dao was moved. When Ah Tai was down, he would never forget Xiao Dao, Old Hei and the others.
