Chapter 1010: Chapter 56: The Final Mission

Su Ameng was just a girl who had recently started high school, always taken care of by Su Han, spoiled by smooth sailing, and suddenly facing this kind of crisis, she completely lost her composure. Hearing Tang Zheng’s roar, she suddenly came to her senses and vanished with teleportation, chasing after the Red-Clothed Woman.

"Hold on!" Tang Zheng added, wanting to tell Su Ameng not to chase, but it was a beat too late.

"Wait for what?" Lin Chen was confused, "Should we find a few people to help her?"

"No need, if the other party could assassinate successfully without making the slightest excess noise, it is clear they’ve been planning for a long time and arranged a careful getaway. For Su Ameng to go after her alone is a bit dangerous." Dantai helped explain as he looked at Su Han’s head thrown on the ground, the residential area wasn’t small, truly determined to hide, no one could find them, especially since the enemy was of the Fourth Order. If they split up to search, they would definitely be defeated one by one.

"So we’re just going to let it go?" Zeng Fanghai roared, his face full of disbelief. How could Su Han just die like that? Looking at Jian Fan, who was kneeling to the side, begging for mercy, he suddenly couldn’t contain his anger and ran over to kick him in the face.

"It wasn’t me who killed him!" With a nosebleed, Jian Fan rolled away.

"Stop beating him; they must have been controlled. Jian Fan, repeat what you just did." Tang Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly. The enemy’s abilities were unknown, a big trouble.

The newbies, seeing the commotion here, all walked to the main entrance, looking on with trepidation. They were like frightened birds, unable to take any more blows.

Lu Tao’s lips moved, but in the end, he did not dare plead for Jian Fan.

"Huh? You must have come in contact with the enemy." Tang Zheng suddenly thought of this, and being cautious, he immediately yelled, "Spread out, activate the shield, Brother Lin, check his body."

The newbies were at a loss what to do, scrambling backward, and the Conquerors, who were about to come over, also halted their steps, activating shields. They never disobeyed Tang Zheng’s orders.

"Damn, he’s such a cautious guy. Fortunately, the mission item isn’t on him." The Red-Clothed Woman followed the escape route she had planned. Hearing these words from the eavesdropping device placed on Jian Fan, she had intended to listen to how they would respond to predict their personalities and combat strategies, but she encountered an extremely cautious person. No choice, she had to detonate the mini bomb ahead of schedule.

"I didn’t do anything!" Jian Fan still wanted to explain when the violent explosion occurred, instantly blowing him to pieces, flesh flying everywhere, the searing flames rising and the shockwave spreading outwards.

The ground shook, the explosion loud enough to burst eardrums, causing the newbies to stand unsteadily, falling in a heap, and they experienced brief ringing in their ears.

"This guy is truly a Fearless One. Although he’s only Third Order, he is probably the toughest to deal with." The Red-Clothed Woman wasn’t conceited and put off her attack, deciding to reassess Tang Zheng’s strength.

"F*ck, that was a close call." Lin Chen and Zeng Fanghai were standing at the center of the explosion. Because they activated their shields, they survived, but now they were still shaking, if not for Tang Zheng’s meticulousness, they would have been totally obliterated by now.

"Does anyone know what Jian Fan and Yu Mei were doing just now?" As Jian Fan had been blown to bits, there was no use asking him. Tang Zheng walked towards the lobby, eyeing Lu Tao sharply. Although he didn’t talk much with the newbies, he still knew well who among them had closer relationships. "Jing Xiang, Qing Shuang, Sha Ou, go check the places where newbies are likely to go."

As the members with the least seniority, of course, they did the dirty and tiring jobs. Gu Xueqi received some special treatment due to her abilities, but the three of Qing Shuang had no complaints.

"Jian Fan just accompanied Yu Mei to the toilet, I don’t know anything else." When Lu Tao saw the cold gaze shift towards him, this burly, strong man actually felt afraid. He then realized that once they got serious, they were on a completely different level.

"Tang Zheng, Yu Mei’s corpse has been found." Jing Xiang was very meticulous in executing Tang Zheng’s orders. Being from the Beastification System, she had a sensitive sense of smell, and the scent of blood was the best guide.

"The only opportunity to strike was probably when they went to the restroom." Dantai was frustrated; although he and Tang Zheng had thought of this, out of consideration for human rights, they hadn’t installed monitors near the ’restroom’, especially since there were some women among the newbies.

"Spending so much time with you, even I’ve gone soft." Dantai sighed, wishing he had been more insistent just then.

"That’s not the reason, the main issue is still the Instant Noodle Team. If Su Han had held on until we arrived, the Red-Clothed Woman could have been completely taken down." Tang Zheng could hardly believe that the Red-Clothed Woman’s Seed Ability was so strange, and Fourth Order Su Han couldn’t even last a single encounter, it was a shock. "Are you all useless? Can’t you even ensure the Group Leader’s safety?"

Lin Chen and Zeng Fanghai felt very wronged and wanted to retort, yet they couldn’t find the words.

"It’s also because we don’t have a powerful deputy group leader. If Dantai or you were there, even if the Red-Clothed Woman had fully turned into one of our own, she wouldn’t be able to escape." Lu Fan had guessed that the ’Yu Mei’ who had escaped must have been an illusion created by the Red-Clothed Woman.

"Whatever is said now is too late, let’s wait for the next stage of the mission!" While Tang Zheng thought about how to hunt the Red-Clothed Woman, he also felt a bit of relief. The Red-Clothed Woman, by killing Su Han, had revealed her ability, allowing everyone to be warned in time.

"Disperse, it’s over." Dantai waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. He still had a lot to discuss with Tang Zheng, only to have an inconsiderate newbie shout out.

"I don’t want to—I don’t want to die. Why isn’t it safe to be with you?" This male newbie was only twenty years old. During the explosion, the shockwave had carried shards of glass that struck his face, which was now a bloody mess. Seeing the others leaving, no one caring about him, that sense of loneliness and the ever-present threat of death made him break down mentally, yelling out loud.

Lin Weiguo frowned, ready to stop him.

"Don’t move, or I’ll kill her." Suddenly, this guy darted forward two steps, grabbed a female newbie, and pulled her into his arms. Then, he produced an activated dagger and pressed it against her neck.

It was something he had picked up, never thinking he’d use it on one of his own.

"Let her go, if you’ve got the guts, go fight the Insect Race to the death, what kind of ability is it to turn on your own people?" Teng Yuangxiang interrupted, trying to display her crisis management skills, "You’re so weak, do you even deserve to be called a man?"

"I don’t want to die, I’m still a virgin, that’s right, let me do it once, just once!" Being insulted by Teng Yuangxiang, the male newbie felt even more miserable. He then turned his gaze towards the woman in his arms and bent his head to kiss her hair, fumbling wildly.

"Don’t!" The female newbie screamed, her face full of panic.

"Garbage!" Lu Fan sneered, pulled out a handgun, loaded it, deliberately drawing the male newbie’s attention. Meanwhile, Bai Guo had already turned invisible and was ready to strike at any moment.

"Put down the guns, everyone put down your guns, or I’ll kill her," the male newbie shouted frantically, his mind in complete disarray.

"Idiot, with so many Conquerors around, a single finger could easily kill you, surrender now." Teng Yuangxiang threatened the male newbie, raising her rifle.

"Fuck your mother, let’s die together!" Hearing the female newbie’s scream and seeing the contempt in everyone’s eyes, the male newbie felt his dignity was being insulted. His mind overheated and he attempted to slash the female newbie’s throat, but he got no chance as Bai Guo’s hand firmly grasped his knife-wielding wrist.

Tang Zheng walked over, grabbed the male newbie’s hair, and forced him to lift his head, then he drew his Life-saving Straight Knife and thrust it into his mouth.

The male newbie let out a dreadful scream as blood spurted out. Tang Zheng didn’t stop; he twisted the handle of the knife, pulverizing the man’s tongue, and then sliced the side of his face open.

Watching Tang Zheng’s brutality and the neck of the unfortunate newbie soaked in blood, the newbies’ eyes twitched.

"If you want to perish together, go find some insects to bully, what’s the point of picking on a woman?" Tang Zheng delivered a knee to the male newbie’s abdomen, and the man immediately curled up and fell to the ground.

"Don’t, don’t kill me!" The male newbie saw Tang Zheng pull out the Devil Flame Pistol and aim at his legs; he was so scared that he pissed himself and cried out in a plea, "I was wrong."

Bang, the bullet fired, shattering the male newbie’s right leg into chunks of flesh that splattered everywhere.

"Stop the bleeding for him and then tie him up nearby, everyone else clean up, we move in five minutes." Tang Zheng left without any expression on his face, going to check Yu Mei’s corpse.

"Serves him right, Tang Zheng was already frustrated with nowhere to vent after dealing with that Red-Clothed Woman earlier." Lu Fan knew that Tang Zheng was upset not because he didn’t want to pursue her but because he couldn’t. If they split up, everyone would be in danger. However, Little Lolita believed that the Group Leader would surely find a way to kill her.

"Don’t leave me behind!" The male newbie, now tied outside a hotel, gave in to complete despair as he watched the fleet leave.

Five hours later, the Trojan’s announcement rang out.

"The third stage of the mission has ended, Team Nepal is victorious. All teams take note, the final stage of the mission begins now. You have twenty-four hours to annihilate the Insect Race Queen. Failure to do so by the deadline will result in the execution of the entire team!"

"The Queen’s location is now displayed on the radar, please move quickly, and be advised that its periphery is heavily defended by swarms of insects."

A series of beeps sounded, and even the radars that were turned off were forcibly activated, with a green triangle blinking.

"Dammit, another time-limited mission." The Red-Clothed Woman, who was hiding, felt frustrated. Envy and resentment filled her heart when she thought about how Team Warhammer still had over forty members alive; in such missions, the more people, the better the advantage, "What an incompetent Group Leader I am."

But a few seconds later, the Red-Clothed Woman smiled happily because she had received the teleport coordinates. Surprisingly, these were reflected on the radar, lighting up a series of green dots, with the words ’safe passage’ labeled in Nepali beside them.

"Because you have won the third stage, you are granted a privilege. You will be teleported directly to the location of the Queen."

The Trojan’s hints were so sweet to her ears that the Red-Clothed Woman laughed proudly.

"After I kill the Queen, I’ll go after those Chinese trying to break through the insect perimeter." The Red-Clothed Woman immediately began to move; the longer she delayed, the closer they would get to the Queen.

"Could the tasks of the first three stages also include hints on how to kill the Queen?" Tang Zheng and Dantai asked each other at the same time. (To be continued.
