Chapter 278 - 267: Brother-in-law, It’s Gotta Be You

Chapter 278: Chapter 267: Brother-in-law, It’s Gotta Be You

The Platinum City Clubhouse, where the Hengsheng Base was located, was on the side of a main street.

In front of the clubhouse, there was also a sizable plaza.

For ease of management and to defend against zombies,

Zhao Dong had specifically incorporated several of the buildings surrounding the clubhouse into the base’s perimeter.

He then blocked off the roads on both sides, creating a relatively enclosed and secure area.

Only a single main gate entrance, directly facing the clubhouse, was left open.

And at this very moment, he was at that main gate, confronting his enemies.

But he never expected that someone... no... a group of people would appear behind him.

And without him noticing in the slightest!

This alone was enough to leave him utterly shocked.

’How did this group of people get behind me???’

What shocked him even more was that the Gao Brothers were standing right in front of him, completely unscathed.

They were bursting with vitality. Where was the slightest trace of their injuries?!

He clearly remembered whipping the two brothers to within an inch of their lives just two hours ago.

If he hadn’t ordered his men not to kill them, the two brothers would have long since gone to see Yama.

’What’s going on?’

He subconsciously slapped out.

SLAP!!!

An underling next to him clutched his face in pain.

He didn’t dare show the slightest hint of anger on his face.

But inwardly, he was cursing up a storm. ’Motherfucker!’

’If you don’t believe it, fine, but couldn’t you have just slapped yourself?’

Of course, he would never dare say that out loud.

Otherwise, his wife and daughter would suffer the consequences...

"Gao Qiang, how did you escape?"

He had tied the Gao Brothers up inside the clubhouse, after all.

’How the fuck did they get rescued from there???’

Zhao Dong’s face was a mask of disbelief.

In contrast to his expression, the two Gao brothers were far more relaxed.

The anger on their faces, however, was undeniable.

"How did we escape?"

"Heh heh... Can’t you see for yourself?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the man behind him.

"You?"

At this point, Mengde no longer needed to pretend.

"That’s right, it’s me!"

"You captured my two brothers-in-law. As their sister’s husband, I had to show up!"

He smiled faintly and stepped forward with casual composure.

Half an hour ago, he had arrived with his people.

He had already located his two brothers-in-law.

However, for their safety, he had Brother Jingfu start a conflict at the gate.

They put on an act of coming for revenge,

all to draw everyone’s attention, while he used that time to take the women with him.

He infiltrated the Hengsheng Base and rescued the two Gao brothers.

Because Brother Jingfu’s coordination was perfect, most of the guards were drawn away.

This allowed him to succeed without a hitch.

It’s worth mentioning that an amusing incident occurred during the rescue.

When the Gao brothers first saw Mengde appear with their sister, they were overjoyed.

They knew their sister was absolutely safe with Mengde.

So, after their initial joy, they relaxed considerably.

Their will to survive wasn’t as strong anymore.

Once they relaxed, combined with the injuries they had already sustained,

and... having been whipped for so long,

they immediately couldn’t hold on any longer.

They grabbed their sister’s hand and placed it in Mengde’s.

Thinking they were beyond saving, Gao Qiang’s face took on the look of a man entrusting his family’s care to another on his deathbed.

"Bro... Brother Mengde, I... I’m... entrusting my... sister to you."

"In... the future, you must treat her well."

"She’s the only sister I have..."

"If you don’t treat her well, I’ll haunt you even as a ghost..."

"And... and me... Gao Sheng..."

Listening to her two brothers’ "last words," Gao Lan was already bawling her eyes out.

"Brothers!!!"

She had already tried, but with her abilities, she couldn’t save her two brothers.

Now, hearing them speak like this, she cried even harder!

She was also filled with guilt.

’I’m a Healing Superpower User, for crying out loud, so how can I not save my own brothers???’

Watching the three siblings hugging and crying together, Mengde was deeply moved!

He truly was touched by their bond!

So, he couldn’t help but offer some words of comfort.

"Okay!"

"Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, don’t you worry!"

"I will definitely take good care of Gao Lan from now on..."

Hearing Mengde say this, the two Gao brothers were incredibly grateful.

They were also relieved!

Up to this point, things were proceeding quite normally.

But Mengde’s next sentence caused the tone to shift abruptly.

"But how about we stand up to talk first?"

"Kneeling on the ground crying must be tiring, right?"

Er...

Hearing this, Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng were stunned.

Only then did they belatedly realize.

Their injuries had already been healed while they were busy delivering their "last words."

In fact, the two brothers could probably stand up and sprint a hundred meters on the spot without any problem.

"Mengde, this..."

The two brothers were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

After all, they knew just how severe their injuries were.

’And we were just healed like that???’

"Don’t worry, you’re fine now."

Mengde smiled faintly.

He had used his SSS-Level Healing Superpower—Withered Wood Welcoming Spring.

’Could there possibly be any other outcome?’

Once she truly realized her two brothers were fine,

Gao Lan’s sorrow instantly turned to joy.

Compared to her brothers’ disbelief, she had obviously experienced her husband’s healing methods in depth before.

She knew just how powerful her husband was!

So, she was quick to catch on.

"Brothers, this is great! You’re okay!"

Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng finally accepted this reality.

A hint of embarrassment was unavoidable on their faces.

They had both severely underestimated their brother-in-law’s abilities!

They simultaneously and silently gave him a thumbs-up.

"Brother-in-law, you’re really something else!"

"Awesome!!!"

...........

Returning to the present, Mengde couldn’t help but smile as he recalled these events.

He found the memory of his two brothers-in-law making fools of themselves quite amusing.

But now that the rescue was complete, Mengde didn’t want to waste any more time.

He turned his gaze toward Brother Jingfu in the crowd.

And also at Lei Qiang, who had been hiding among them.

"Since we’re going to fight, let’s get to it!"

"Brother Jingfu, Brother Lei, don’t hold back. I’ll leave this cleanup to you!"

The moment Brother Jingfu saw Mengde appear, it was as if he had taken a calming pill.

They had been stalling for time to coordinate with Mengde’s actions all along.

And now that the people were rescued,

there was naturally no need to hold back any longer.

"Yes, Boss!"

Brother Jingfu cackled sinisterly at Zhao Dong.

"Zhao Dong, we were just playing with you earlier!"

"Now it’s time to get serious!"

"I hope you can take it!"

"Brothers, get them! No more holding back... Kill!!!"

With Brother Jingfu’s command, he himself took the lead, charging toward Zhao Dong.

When Zhao Dong saw this, he completely panicked...
