Chapter 1152: Chapter 35 Another Team (Three more updates, asking for monthly tickets)

"Confiscated." Tang Zheng checked Ada’s small backpack again, stuffed the small refrigerated container into it, "You didn’t install a tracking device, did you?"

Ada snorted coldly, pretended to be exhausted, and did not answer, but internally she breathed a sigh of relief. Naturally, her equipment was equipped with a refrigeration device, just in case.

"Humph, I’ll carry it first, and as soon as I’m out of your sight, I’ll throw these things away, only keeping the refrigerated container." Tang Zheng wasn’t foolish. If it weren’t for the ’potion’ that seemed like a good item, he wouldn’t even want it. Misleading the opponent’s judgment was also muy important.

"We’ve already delayed enough time, I should leave." Tang Zheng took out his mobile phone, checked the time, and saw they had been delayed by ten minutes. "So one last question decides your life or death."

"Speak." Ada didn’t beg for mercy.

"Do you know where the virus strain is located? Judging by the way you came in early, you must have been through many parts of this building. Can you tell me about the general situation?" Tang Zheng took out a straight knife, pressing it on Ada’s thigh.

"This is not a question." The icy touch of the blade made Ada’s skin tense.

"Answer!" Tang Zheng exerted force on his wrist, the sharp blade immediately cut through the skin, leaking blood strands, "You don’t have much blood to lose."

"I don’t know about any virus strain. Anyway, this building is full of zombies. Oh, and my combat mates, they are all elites from SWAT." Ada wished she could bite off Tang Zheng’s flesh, this humiliation of being captured was her first in life.

"Good." Tang Zheng repeated the question, "Don’t complain, answer me."

"Low-level tricks." Ada’s answer was no different from the previous time. This simple interrogation couldn’t trouble her.

"All right, it’s okay to throw out the trash. Whether you survive or not is down to your luck." Since this woman resembled Ada Wong from Biohazard, Tang Zheng decided to let her go. He shouldered the small pack, took the ammo clip, and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a bit mischievous.

"Take a few pictures like this, upload them online, and it’s definitely perfect cosplay." Tang Zheng was just talking; he certainly didn’t want to leak Trojan information and get eradicated by Trojan. Still, he took out his mobile phone, aimed at Ada, who was wearing only underwear, and took a few shots.

Ada was very cooperative and even deliberately pushed out her chest.

"Perfect!" Tang Zheng had just turned around when Ada, like a venomous snake, supported herself with her left hand, leveraging her waist, and suddenly sprang up. Her uninjured left leg swung toward Tang Zheng’s neck. The front of her high heels shot out a sharp blade, which was why she hadn’t taken them off. Inside the two high heels, many small props could save her life at crucial moments.

Feeling the wind pressure rushing towards the back of his head, Tang Zheng quickly turned around, lifting his left armature, and simultaneously turned his head.

With a snap, Tang Zheng grabbed Ada’s ankle. Just when he thought he was safe, a blade suddenly shot out, luckily, he reacted quickly and dodged, but his cheek was still grazed by a blood strand.

"Treacherous." Tang Zheng swung out his right foot, hitting Ada squarely in the chest.

Cough cough, Ada spat out a mouthful of blood, coughing. Her armature supported the ground as she tried to perform Capoeira combat dance, wrapping her legs around Tang Zheng’s neck to break his neck, but the injuries on her armature and thigh deformed her movements.

"Still struggling?" Tang Zheng stepped back, suddenly pulled on Ada’s ankle, causing her stance to distort even more.

Bang, Tang Zheng kicked out once more, hitting Ada in the chest with his foot. She flew back like a bursting sack and crashed into a desk.

"I’m not used to killing women. Don’t force me." Tang Zheng quickly retreated, passed by Ada’s MP5K, casually grabbed the gun strap, and picked it up.

"I’ll get even for this loss." Ada lay on the ground, watching Tang Zheng walk out the door, and turned around, waving her right hand’s index and middle finger in front of her forehead; she was nearly furious, this time the humiliation was an indelible stain in her life.

"I still have an advantage. That fool’s goal seems to be the virus strain, but he hasn’t noticed that he’s already got it. The laboratory is now a chaotic battlefield, everyone is fighting for the fake strain I left behind, and I can wait for the fisherman’s gain." Ada was a woman who never admitted defeat, and immediately thought of countermeasures.

"Wen Xiao, forgive me, I can’t take your body back for a proper burial." After a battle, Tang Zheng had calmed down again. He took one last deep look at his middle school classmate, then grabbed his backpack and quickly ran along the passage.

"Ammunition is too much and too heavy, unnecessary." Tang Zheng only kept an AA12 and an MP5K, discarding the G36C and the other shotguns along with their bullets. Since there were members of other factions in the building, getting firearms wouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, even if he didn’t have others, the MP5K was enough. It might not be powerful enough for ordinary people to fight zombies, but for Tang Zheng, who could achieve a headshot rate of over ninety percent, it was sufficient.

Moving light improved Tang Zheng’s speed significantly. As he passed a fork in the road, he saw a man in a white lab coat with his head shattered by a bullet, dead on the ground.

"I’ll borrow this." Tang Zheng, dressed in sportswear and lacking in the capital to fabricate lies, stripped the clothes off the corpse and wore them. Even if he encountered SWAT, he could claim to be one of the laboratory staff and gain their trust.

"It’s a corpse, not a zombie, and probably not infected. But who killed this unlucky guy? SWAT wouldn’t do this, so was it a team from another group leader?" Tang Zheng opened the wristwatch’s map and the map he got from Ada, compared them by touching his finger to them.

"There’s no mistake, I was just being paranoid." Tang Zheng only kept the gas mask and the small refrigerated container, discarding all other items he captured from Ada. Just when he heaved a sigh of relief, he noticed an error in the map’s route.

"Damn, Trojan is indeed treacherous." Tang Zheng complained. When he saw that Dong Zixuan and her team’s route led straight to the animal breeding area, he panicked a bit, as that place was full of experimental subjects, and after being infected by the virus, their attack power was much stronger than that of zombies.

"Not right; they haven’t come back even after hearing gunshots from my side. They might have run into trouble." Tang Zheng had been focused on fighting and hadn’t noticed Dong Zixuan and her team’s situation. They indeed faced trouble, first being chased by several zombie dogs and then encountering a team of Indians at a crossroads.

As soon as both sides made contact, a shootout erupted. With an experienced group leader from India present, he immediately suppressed Dong Zixuan’s group. These newbies, having never experienced gunfight, turned and ran. Fortunately, the zombie dogs created chaos; otherwise, they would have been completely wiped out. Still, Li Yumiao and Gao Ming were shot, and they strayed from the route marked on the wristwatch’s map.

Tang Zheng wrapped a cloth around his feet to reduce the noise of his footsteps while running, and followed the route on the map fiercely. When he saw the first zombie dog’s corpse, he stopped.

"It seems there was a skirmish here, which way to go?" At a fork in the road, there were zombie dogs’ corpses on both sides, and the walls bore chaotic bullet holes, seemingly from an exchange of fire. Tang Zheng speculated a bit and eventually chose the original route, believing Dong Zixuan’s group wouldn’t dare to deviate.

"First to regroup, then head to the experimental section." Tang Zheng decided and ran at a steady pace. He wouldn’t waste his total energy. Less than ten minutes later, he was close to the breeding area but sensed something was amiss.

"Even Kong Licheng, the best shooter, couldn’t possibly kill a zombie dog while on the move, right? Moreover, judging from the bullet casings and the bullets that killed the zombie dogs, these were clearly AK47 calibers." Tang Zheng clearly remembered that none of the fifteen people used such a weapon, "It seems I followed the wrong direction."

This was a wide passage in the breeding area, with breeding rooms on both sides, among other functional sections.

Apart from the acidic smell, there was the foul stench of feces. The fierce barks of some animals were faintly heard. Tang Zheng slowly pushed open an iron gate next to him with his foot. Through the crack, he saw the broken iron cages inside; infected animals, now physically enhanced, had no trouble breaking through these cages.

Meow, a gigantic zombie cat screamed and suddenly pounced at Tang Zheng from a corner.

Tang Zheng swung his rifle and smashed it directly on its head, flipping it over. The monster, unharmed, got up immediately after falling and lunged again.

Considering that gunshots might alert unknown enemies, Tang Zheng refrained from opening fire and, while retreating, he drew the straight knife from the sheath on his leg and fiercely stabbed the zombie cat.

Pur, the straight knife pierced the zombie cat’s eye, thick blood spurted, and as Tang Zheng stirred it forcefully, he damaged the brain, and the zombie cat died instantly.

Tang Zheng flicked his wrist, and the corpse dropped to the ground with a smack.

"Whose squad could it be, or perhaps it’s the locals?" Tang Zheng held the MP5K, advancing cautiously, trying to keep his breathing as slow as possible.

Clink, a sudden sound of metal striking broke the silence, immediately catching Tang Zheng’s attention.

"Ah, hidden prey." Tang Zheng muttered under his breath, noticing it was from a few breeding rooms twenty meters away.

An Indian man, holding a rifle, was hiding in the corner of a breeding room. He covered his mouth, fearing his fearful cries might come out. Having separated from his team during the escape, he rushed into this room. After waiting a while and hearing nothing, he tried to check outside, but accidentally bumped his gun against a nearby iron cage, making a noise that nearly scared him to the ground.

"Calm down, you won’t die." The Indian man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked out quietly. Because he was wearing leather shoes, he made a clear sound, while Tang Zheng, with cloth wrapped around his feet, made no noise and didn’t hear him.

"Seems like he’s about to come out; looks like an inexperienced newbie." Tang Zheng crouched down, aimed his gun at the door, ready to play whack-a-mole, as he could completely tell from the footsteps that the prey was in that house.
