Hu Dashan and Tan Xiao, whom he was carrying, suddenly fell hard to the ground. Both fell simultaneously, a grunt of pain escaping their lips.
Ye Chong approached them step by step.
Tan Xiao, severely injured, was paralyzed and lying on the ground, unable to move. Hu Dashan, shot through the ankle, was equally immobile.
Ye Chong walked up to the two of them, slowly squatting down, a faint smile on his face as he watched them.
"Quite touching…" He said slowly, "Hu Dashan, I'd never noticed before how loyal you are. Just goes to show… no one truly knows what kind of person they are until they're cornered."
Hu Dashan, drenched in cold sweat from the pain, gazed at Ye Chong in terror.
Tan Xiao spoke with great effort: "He… He's your… teammate. If he dies… your team… will be one man down…"
"That's alright." Ye Chong stood up nonchalantly, his voice barely above a whisper, "As long as I'm alive, that's enough."
