Capítulo 57: Information
"Hmm? You're saying Tieshan is still alive?" Chen Chong asked, his brow furrowing in surprise.
About ten minutes later, just after returning to the sealed-off manor with his men, Chen Chong saw the lanky Zhang Long rushing over like a monkey to report some news.
"Yes, we found out that Tieshan was still barely breathing when we dragged him out to hang him," Zhang Long replied, his dark, thin face filled with an eager-to-please smile as he quickly continued, "Boss, I think Tieshan might know a lot of secrets about Blood General that could be useful to you. So, I came to ask...?"
In reality, Zhang Long was feeling quite anxious at the moment. After all, he had been present when Li Bao and Chen Chong had their conflict. He couldn't guarantee whether or not he had been marked in Chen Chong's mind, so he was naturally thinking about doing his best to perform well.
"You're really considerate," Chen Chong said with a wry smile as he looked at Zhang Long, who was showing his eagerness in the grand hall of the luxurious mansion. Suddenly, something occurred to him, something he had almost overlooked: Qiao Jun, the undercover agent of Blood General at the Dawn Gathering.
When he had little power, he had thought about using leverage to overthrow the base in retaliation. Now that he possessed power comparable to that of a transcendent being, it was natural for him to carry out his bloody revenge with his own hands!
Thus, as an undercover agent, Qiao Jun became particularly important, as he was related to Chen Chong's plans and intentions for the base. He had to find a way to get in touch with him to gain control over the plans of the Dawn Gathering. However, now that Blood General was dead, it seemed that the only way to learn how to contact Qiao Jun was through his confidant, Tieshan.
Less than ten minutes later, Zhang Long personally pushed a cart carrying the bloodied and barely breathing Tieshan to the manor's entrance and wheeled him into the hall.
"Boss, I'm right here at the door, just call me if you need anything," Zhang Long said before discreetly retreating.
Chen Chong glanced at the supine figure of Tieshan on the cart. At the moment, the once towering and formidable Tieshan lay limply on the cart, with an unknown number of broken bones and blood intermittently oozing from his orifices. It was a pitiful sight.
The fact that Tieshan had not died completely under his full-force punch indicated that his physique and vitality were indeed superior to those of awakened individuals like Li Bao.
"Ho, ho ho..."
At this moment, lying on the cart, Tieshan emitted a faint sound from his throat. As if sensing something, he slowly and laboriously opened his eyes, and Chen Chong's face came into view.
Upon seeing Chen Chong's face, Tieshan couldn't move a muscle, but his pupils suddenly dilated, and he uttered a short, disbelieving sound, as if he had seen something inconceivable: "You, you...!"
"What's it to me?"
Chen Chong laughed heartily:
"Tieshan, look around you. You missed a lot while you were unconscious. Did you know that your master has already been killed by me and hung out in public for all to see?"
"No, no... it's not... possible..."
Tieshan was struck as if by a bolt of lightning, his body shuddering. He strained to turn his neck, scanning the familiar Blood General's mansion hall, his eyes gradually turning into a desperate ashen gray:
"Gener... al..."
He finally realized that this was indeed the mansion hall of Blood General, a place he knew all too well. The fact that Chen Chong was brazenly standing here meant that Blood General might have truly met his end as Chen Chong had said.
This also meant that Tieshan had completely lost hope of survival.
"Unthinkable..."
The unbelievable had truly come to pass, as if something inside him had completely collapsed. Tieshan began to cough violently, and due to his shattered internal organs, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth:
"How could this be, how could this be, when you were just..."
"Is this so hard to believe?"
Chen Chong sneered mercilessly, "*** always kills people, but unfortunately, his fist is not as big as mine, so he has to die!"
"Y-You... you're right. Since it's come to this, I admit defeat."
Tie Shan let out a weak, pained smile, his eyes silent and hollow as they stared at the ceiling, and his mouth slightly moved, saying, "You wouldn't let me off the hook, would you? Kill me! Give me a quick death!"
"Oh? You've got some guts."
Chen Chong was surprised that Tie Shan didn't plead for mercy but was so straightforward. Staring at Tie Shan's face, which was filled with despair like ashes of the dead, he raised his eyebrows and said:
"I can give you a quick death. Tell me, how does General Xue communicate with Qiao Jun? When will the Dawn Gathering attack the base?"
"You also... want to be the sparrow in the bushes?"
Tie Shan's expression was numb, his chest heaving rapidly. He clearly felt the tidal wave of intense pain and the terrible state of his internal injuries. He just wanted to die quickly and said straightforwardly:
"General met with me yesterday, and after meeting Qiao Jun, he only told us that the Dawn Gathering is already preparing. It should only be a matter of days before they take action. There is an abandoned service area less than fifty kilometers away from the Dawn Gathering... If Qiao Jun has any information, it will be hidden under the hole in the top right corner of the second floor. Just check it once a day to see if there's any news... You can confirm this by asking my men..."
Taking action in just a matter of days?
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Chen Chong immediately called Zhang Long from outside and asked him to bring a few of Tie Shan's former subordinates for confirmation. In a moment, it was confirmed that Tie Shan was not lying.
Walking back to the hall, Chen Chong nodded with satisfaction, "Tie Shan, is there anything else you want to say about General Xue? He's already dead, and there's no point in keeping his secrets for him. If you have any valuable information to tell me, I can give you a decent death and let you rest in peace."
"Ha, ha... Do you think a person like General would reveal his secrets to others?"
Tie Shan panted rapidly, his strong vitality preventing him from dying just yet, but the intense pain twisted his face:
"The only thing I know is that General was not originally a survivor here but came from a large gathering place, with a very mysterious background. Apart from that, I know nothing else..."
General Xue came from a large gathering place?
Chen Chong frowned. The background of a dead man was irrelevant to him. Having obtained the information he wanted the most, he asked about the details of the contact with Qiao Jun and then looked at Tie Shan:
"Since that's the case, you can go now."
Bang!
In the next moment, Tie Shan's eyes widened as Chen Chong's heavy fist struck his forehead like lightning, killing him on the spot.
Slowly raising his head, Chen Chong's gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles and looked straight in a certain direction, a thrilling bloodthirsty smile forming at the corner of his mouth:
"Dhirees... are you ready?"
