Chapter 102 - 102 11 Early Morning Combat Part 2

102: Chapter 11: Early Morning Combat (Part 2) 102: Chapter 11: Early Morning Combat (Part 2) The soup spilled on the ground, leaving Zhang Yan in shock.

When Tang Zheng knocked her down onto the sand, her only thought was that she would lose her virginity.

She didn’t struggle, the fear of death made her accept this fate.

If she couldn’t avoid it, she would choose someone who was at least gentler, someone who would at least allow her to drink soup afterwards.

BOOM, a bomb fell about five to six meters in front of the campfire and instantly exploded, causing sand fragments to fly everywhere.

They hit the tent, making popping sounds.

Tang Zheng was about to stand up to face the enemy, but seeing the expression of complete despair on Zhang Yan’s face stopped him.

He guessed her thoughts and sharply slapped her across the face.

“Stay alive with dignity,” he said.

After hitting the girl, Tang Zheng also spotted the man who had rushed out of the coconut grove.

He was about thirty years old, tall and robust.

The most striking thing about him was his green military uniform.

Tang Zheng knew he was in big trouble.

The man’s face was fierce and fearless, showing the absolute certainty he was going to get both of them.

Tang Zheng didn’t back down – he pulled out two impact bombs and rushed towards him.

At times like this, he couldn’t afford to lose momentum.

“You’ve got guts, kid.” The military man roared as he sprinted forward, hurling a bomb.

Tang Zheng didn’t waste his breath.

He couldn’t afford to talk while sprinting; it would only disrupt his breathing.

His response was a bomb, and the man was using the same method as Zhang Yan – all impact bombs.

BOOM, BOOM.

The shock wave of the explosion stirred up a large amount of sand, almost obscuring the view.

The two just sprinted side by side, taking evasive zigzag routes, relentless in their pursuit.

“His speed is even faster than the 100-meter men’s champion and it seems like he hasn’t even reached his full strength.” Tang Zheng knew he was at a disadvantage upon seeing the military man’s easy manner.

If hand-to-hand combat occurred, he was most likely to lose.

Who knew how advanced martial arts would be in the year 2112?

“But we still need to clash.” With the same idea, both of them stopped throwing bombs.

Instead, they pulled out daggers.

They went hard at each other on this peaceful beach during an early morning, shortly after sunrise.

The military man knocked aside the dagger Tang Zheng thrusted at him.

He launched his own attack like a poisonous snake, targeting Tang Zheng’s throat.

Just one round of scuffle had left Tang Zheng in cold sweats.

Seeing the blade that had brushed past his throat, Tang Zheng swore that when he got back to his room, he would first exchange for a set of martial arts.

Thud, Tang Zheng was hit in the stomach with a kick and was flung backward.

The only thing he had managed to do was slice the man’s sleeve, without even harming a hair.

“Ha ha, I thought you were strong, considering how adept you are at surviving in the wild.

I hid this long for nothing.

Had I known, I would have just rushed up and started killing.” Having tested Tang Zheng’s strength, the military man was in no hurry.

He had the luxury of glancing at Zhang Yan to say, “She didn’t run.

Is she your girlfriend?”

Tang Zheng rolled over, endured the pain, and stood up.

He threw a bomb at the military man, also wondering why Zhang Yan had not run away.

BOOM, the military man dodged the bomb and taunted Tang Zheng, “Useless, it’s no danger to me.”

The military man did not want to waste his bombs and wanted to kill Tang Zheng barehanded.

But after the probing attack, Tang Zheng, knowing he was at a disadvantage, would not let the man catch him.

“Damn, I have to play my trump card now.” Even summoning the Musketeer, Tang Zheng was considering tactics.

Like a lion hunting a rabbit, he would use his full strength, let alone when up against this battle-seasoned man in green military uniform, who might very well be a soldier.

“How many people have you killed?” Looking at the man in the military uniform with two white waist bags, he could guess the answer, but he wouldn’t reveal it.

No information should be exposed to the enemy.

“You will be the third.

Once I get bored, that girl will be the fourth.” The man in the military uniform was confident that even if the girl fled, he could catch her.

Hence, his prime target was still Tang Zheng, but the latter was as elusive as an eel.

As Tang Zheng threw a bomb forcing the man to change his direction as predicted, he summoned the Musketeer.

Alizeh appeared right in front of him and decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang, white smoke rose.

The man in the military uniform fixed his gaze, twisted his body abruptly allowing the bullet to brush past him, and simultaneously flung a bomb.

Alizeh just escaped the blast range when a dagger lodged in her forehead the next second.

Amid the blood splatter, her body disintegrated into pieces and vanished.

“Does he really have superpowers?” The man faced danger fearlessly.

In that instant, he unleashed his strongest power, killed Alizeh with a single blow, and prepared to seize the ‘frantic’ Tang Zheng for questioning.

However, a bullet was shot from behind him.

Bang, bang.

From behind the sand stirred up by the explosion, Sophie fired two shots; the silver musket and the Flintlock rifle sounding off in succession and spitting out flames.

Boom, the man in the military uniform’s head burst apart.

Half of the skull flew out, and the white brain pulp and blood instantly stained the beach red.

Tang Zheng had a narrow escape.

He hadn’t expected the guy to be so hard to deal with.

Seeing his body fall and blood running from the wound before soaking into the sand, he took a deep breath at last.

If he had not used Alizeh as bait and used the bomb to kick up a sandy smokescreen, if he had directly summoned the Musketeer to have a frontal confrontation, perhaps he would have been defeated by the man in the military uniform.

Tang Zheng decided to refrain from upgrading the Musketeer for now.

After his body adjusts to the side effects and once it gets further strengthened, he will first activate the Furious Queen’s other abilities.

Relying on summoned heroes to save the day was too perilous.

“You, are you okay?” Seeing the outcome decided, Zhang Yan hurried over, though her gaze surreptitiously landed on Sophie, “Is that a superpower?

What a shame that a girl died.”

“Doesn’t the 22nd century have superpowers?” Tang Zheng felt no obligation to explain.

He squatted down to search the man’s body, feeling that his acting skills were improving.

At least, his portrayal of panic and fear was quite convincing.

Two white waist bags, a total of nineteen Impact Bombs.

It seemed like the man in the military uniform had had several battles before encountering Tang Zheng, but unfortunately, his gains were minimal.

Apart from that, there were also three daggers, a waist bag with a flint, dry bird’s nest that could be used to start a fire, jerked meat, half a pack of cigarettes, and a roll of fishing line.

“No.” Watching Tang Zheng inspect the corpse, Zhang Yan finally couldn’t take it anymore and squatted to the side to vomit.

Luckily, she hadn’t eaten much for breakfast.

Otherwise, that too would have been wasted.

The girl originally had nineteen impact bombs, but all of them became Tang Zheng’s spoils of war.

He had used four in the previous fight, leaving him with fifteen.

Combined with those of the man in the military uniform, he now had thirty four Impact Bombs and thirty Timed Bombs.

“This many bombs should last me two or three high-intensity battles.

But what if I use them all up, how would I replenish them?

I can’t just wait to die.

Moreover, it seems this game won’t be finished anytime soon.” Tang Zheng was plagued by a new problem, but he was sure the organizers would have thought of this.
