Chapter 1066: Chapter 39 Casualties

Dantai held the boss with one hand and moved quickly through the underground passage. Every time they met resistance, a psychic storm would blast out, stunning the enemies as they were mowed down by machine gun fire. However, Ruan Feifei was even more lethal, constantly firing blue lightning and killing those native humans.

If it were just about slaughtering the natives, the female anchor might have some reservations, but in this situation, it seemed perfectly justified.

Tang Zheng was responsible for covering the rear, and his defense was impeccable. The three female musketeers were from the shooting series, and with MP40s they could lay down a barrage, suppressing the Nazi zombies, not to mention they had now seized the Giant Zombie’s Terminator, whose six-barreled machine gun laid down a death dam in the passage.

The Nazi Zombies relied on swarm tactics to create danger, but in the confined space underground, their advantage was completely limited. They tried organizing Dare to Die Teams to clear the way with Rocket Fist Rockets, but these were quickly destroyed. As for tanks, after destroying the bar, they were completely useless.

The bar’s underground decor was luxurious, fit for a royal palace, showing that the BOSS was someone who knew how to enjoy life. However, after seeing the overwhelming enemy forces, he decisively fled. Heartbroken over the antiques and paintings, he even wished to reclaim the place later, which is why he didn’t set off the bombs. Otherwise, Dantai and his people might have been blocked inside.

"Which way did he escape?" Unable to find the escape tunnel, Sha Ou grabbed the boss by the collar and slapped him twice.

"I don’t know, I’ve only been here once." The boss was miserable as Sha Ou’s strength was significant, the slaps loosening his teeth.

Dantai’s powerful mental ability could enhance perception besides launching attacks. After focusing intently for three seconds, he found the way.

"Over here." Dantai aimed the AT-4 at a wall adorned with the painting "Bargeman on the Volga," and after it collapsed, a dim passage was revealed.

"There are running footsteps!" The Conquerors’ enhanced bodies were not something native humans could compare with. Even though the BOSS had run a few minutes ahead, they caught up to him right after he exited the passage.

The boss of Tuna was a short, fat middle-aged man, accompanied by two black-suit bodyguards, who was trying to get into a glistening black sedan. Seeing people emerging from the secret passage, he immediately opened fire on them.

"Catch the BOSS, grab that car," Dantai didn’t kill the boss. Instead, he choked him, knocking him out, but he was still half a beat too slow with his words.

To prevent the BOSS from escaping, Sha Ou unleashed his ability, and the sedan flew away like a baseball hit by a high-speed bat, with the BOSS, who was halfway inside the car, falling down, sprawling on the ground. Ever since gaining power and status, he had lived a life of debauchery, running his body into the ground, and when attacked, he completely lost his former heroism.

This location was three streets away from the Black Blood Bar. Since it was originally a secret passage, very few people came to assist. Just as Ruan Feifei was about to kill him, Dantai stopped her.

"Leave a living witness, give him to Tang Zheng. If handled well, it will be a great feat. You might even climb to the position of Director."

Dantai killed everyone else but did not blame Sha Ou for wrecking the car. He tried to summon a vehicle but wasn’t successful.

"Sorry!" Sha Ou was very embarrassed. He had a direct approach to things and hardly thought about the next step. To make amends, he dragged the car back.

"It’s leaking oil. How are we supposed to drive it now?" The female anchor, more experienced, though younger, did not give Sha Ou any face.

"Heh, sorry." Sha Ou was a bit thick-skinned and didn’t take it to heart. Had it been Teng Yuangxiang, she would surely have resented the female anchor.

The Red Trojan Horse would not allow the survivors to easily endure the punishment time. The Teleportation Gate opened, and Nazi Zombies rushed out, launching attacks at Dantai and his group.

A Tiger Tank appeared with the creaking of tracks, and with one shot, turned the sedan into scrap metal.

"Get into the civilian houses! Sha Ou, you’re responsible for the BOSS’s safety," Dantai said, holding the boss with one hand and taking out the AT-4 with the other, blasting the Tiger Tank. "Ruan Feifei, area attack."

Dantai had to ensure the safety of the secret passage’s entrance. The newbies who emerged from behind were facing Nazi Zombies, and a fierce battle ensued, with bullets flying randomly through the long street under the night sky, turning their faces pale with fright.

"Run towards the civilian houses!" An Fei and Lin Fachan shouted in unison, the latter protecting his girlfriend behind him responsibly, and even the Caucasian Shepherd Dog, which wasn’t lost, was following beside him, baring its teeth at the zombies, trying to protect its owner.

Ruan Feifei was forceful in killing the enemies, especially after Li Xinlan joined the fight. They were basically pressing the Nazi Zombies down. Tang Zheng arrived with his three female musketeers and then blew up the passage, entering the civilian houses.

Although the Conquerors were protecting the newbies, there were always some who were unlucky, like the remaining gangsters who were so panicked they didn’t know where to look and were too close to the walls. Splattered by stray bullets, one was hit in the head and died on the spot for not wearing a helmet.

A girl, who was helping Aihara Chiharu, was also killed. A sniper, hiding on the second floor, did it with a shot from a Mauser 98K that blew her head off, splattering Aihara Chiharu’s face with brain pulp and blood. The incident nearly drove her insane with fright, and had it not been for Aoki Hiroshi’s quick push, she would have been killed by the second shot.

Tang Zheng fired a rocket shell at the sniper’s position and killed him.

Without activating the Steel Sky, the survivors still managed to withstand half an hour, and the punishment troops disappeared.

"Here, take this guy back and claim the credit!" Dantai tossed the short and chubby man to Tang Zheng and left the cleanup of the battlefield to others.

"Let’s get out of here." South City was in complete chaos today, with countless dead or wounded. Just for that, the director would have a hard time shirking responsibility. Having captured the BOSS, Tang Zheng waved his hand, "I’m leaving first, call me if you need anything."

"Alright, be careful." Dantai knew Tang Zheng needed to make some arrangements, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain how he caught the gang boss.

"I hope the police cars aren’t trashed." Tang Zheng and the others went their separate ways, rushing to the parking lot of the bar.

"Who’s there? Come out!" Just as Tang Zheng had stuffed the BOSS into the trunk of the police car, he caught a flash of a camera nearby and immediately lunged out, pulling his handgun and opening fire.

"Don’t shoot, I’m a reporter." Kristina, startled by the whizzing bullets, promptly raised her hands. However, seeing Tang Zheng approaching with the ruins ablaze behind him, she felt it made for a good picture and quickly snapped two photos.

"It’s you?" Tang Zheng frowned, but considering her identity, he immediately decided to play along, "There’s been a gun battle here. It’s dangerous, leave quickly."

"Can you be more specific?" Kristina’s professional curiosity was piqued, her eyes lit up as she began to press for details.

"The security in South City will skyrocket from now on." Tang Zheng was hesitating on how to subtly prove his conquest when the police and a large number of reporters arrived.

The police thought there was a shootout in South City and dared not show up until the gunshots had ceased for a long time. The police cars arrived much later, keeping a good distance and fully armed.

"What’s going on here? What happened?" The director, burping from alcohol, was clearly drunk and disheveled, reeking of perfume, and had just gotten up from some woman’s bed. Seeing Tang Zheng, he immediately confronted him, even forgetting who he was.

"Gangsters were shooting it out. I took the chance and caught a boss of the Tuna!" Tang Zheng said calmly, and with that, countless flashbulbs went off, capturing the scene.

Of course, Kristina also secretly captured the director’s negligent image.

"Are you joking?" The director’s drunkenness sobered up considerably. If the BOSS was caught, that would be a significant feat. Of course, the BOSS had to be dead, otherwise a living one would reveal too many things. He had thought about covering it up or taking the credit, but there were too many reporters.

Tang Zheng walked to the back of the police car, opened the trunk, and revealed the man stuffed inside.

"Come here, we need to talk." The director took out a handkerchief, wiped away his sweat, and approached Tang Zheng, plotting how to maximize the benefits.

The reporters disagreed and crowded around, wanting to interview Tang Zheng.

At the same time, the American team was also being punished by the Punishment Squad. Due to the departure of the Italians, their team was left with only compatriots, who cooperated closely and set up a strong defense, easily surviving the ordeal with only two lightly wounded. However, before they could revel in relief, the Evil Spirit Rider appeared.

One man, hit by the Rider’s Eyes of Judgment, immediately went up in flames and turned into a pile of ashes. Another man was blown apart by a shotgun, and a brown-haired woman was strangled to death with a chain. From then on, the American team also began to suffer casualties.

"City of God does not tolerate evil. If you commit crimes again, I will punish you!" The Evil Spirit Rider did not continue killing after making an example, leaving behind a message before vanishing at the end of Long Street.

Because the location wasn’t a sensitive place like the Black Blood Bar, the police took their time to arrive, allowing for an easy escape.

Only six Nordic people were left because they were all newbies, and thus spared punishment. However, their luck had run out, for their robbery of the gold store and selling the loot had attracted police attention.

"What? You found the gangsters?" The director deliberately spoke loudly to attract the attention of the reporters. With such a major incident occurring here, his negligence was evident. What he needed to do now was salvage his image, "Keep a close eye on them; I’m heading there right now."

"You’re coming with me." The director, leaving some people to deal with the scene, immediately led a large team to the gangsters’ hiding spot, bringing Tang Zheng along, hoping he would either get killed on the spot or make some low-level mistake, so the newspapers would stop reporting about him.

The Nordic people were hiding in an abandoned factory. Although ruthless, they lacked intelligence. Not to mention having no plan for selling the stolen goods, they hadn’t taken any hostages or even considered an escape plan. When the police cornered them, they had no choice but to desperately resist. The director couldn’t be bothered to negotiate their surrender. After a few perfunctory words through the megaphone, he ordered an assault.

Two men with Blood Cross tattoos were exceptionally fierce, wielding heavy firepower obtained from the Americans and firing at the police outside, immediately taking down several officers. These police, used to collecting bribes and slack in training, were no match at a critical moment.

"You go!" The director ordered Tang Zheng to his potential death.
