124: Chapter 28 Internal Strife 124: Chapter 28 Internal Strife When Tang Zheng woke her up, excitement flashed on Zhang Yan’s face, but that was immediately replaced by pain, and tears began to stream down her cheeks.

“Brother Tang, it hurts,” Zhang Yan instinctively twisted her body, but the pain from her wrist and ankle took her breath away.

Remembering something, she warned, “Don’t come near, there are bombs nearby.”

“Would the enemy be that stupid?” Tang Zheng took a look around him, and took only one step before stopping.

Even if Zhang Yan hadn’t advised him against it, he wouldn’t have moved forward.

His step was just to reassure her and to show his urgent desire to rescue her.

“I am getting more and more treacherous,” Tang Zheng hated this trait in himself, it felt like he was wearing a mask.

“Do you know where the bombs are buried?”

“When that man was hanging me up, I pretended to pass out.

I saw where he was burying the bombs.

There are five in total.” A hint of satisfaction crossed Zhang Yan’s face as she pointed to the locations of the bombs.

“You suddenely became smart!” Tang Zheng exclaimed, his heart lightened.

Even Zhang Yan, this clumsy girl, couldn’t be handled by the enemy.

However, out of caution, he asked one more time, “Are you sure there’s nothing abnormal with your body?”

“What do you mean?

Aside from the pain in my hand and the numbness in my thighs, I don’t feel anything else.” Zhang Yan was perplexed.

If it weren’t for Tang Zheng’s authority, she would’ve shouted at him a long time ago.

“Looks like we’re dealing with a dumb opponent.” With the girl wearing only a few pieces of clothing, and her sportswear being removed, it was clear at a glance that she wasn’t hiding any bomb.

“Hey, are you so desperate that you’re even stealing a girl’s sportswear now?

Or do you have some strange fetish?” Tang Zheng called out towards the building, trying to provoke his opponent.

He didn’t want to fight against an enemy hiding in the dark.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and turned to return to the jungle.

Even though he knew the locations of the bombs, he dared not approach them.

These were remote control bombs, not trigger-based ones.

As long as the controller was in the enemy’s hands, the bombs would explode even if he didn’t step on them.

“Hey, Brother Tang, don’t leave me behind.” Seeing Tang Zheng leaving suddenly, Zhang Yan started crying, feeling like the sky was falling.

“It’s you, what a small world.” The young man observing the scene from the building muttered to himself.

Holding the girl in his arms, he gave her a kiss, “You know him too!”

“Who?” The girl he was holding was a high school student, silent and expressionless, even after he kissed her.

Of course, at this moment, Zhang Yan’s sportswear was on her body.

“Remember the guy in the Trojan Room, surrounded by a bunch of women?” The man was the one who had been threatened by Tang Zheng’s female musketeer in the Trojan Room, and the girl was the high school student who had suicidally entered the room.

“So it’s him.” A spark ignited in the high school girl’s eyes.

How could she forget the man who once protected her?

But then her tone got cold again.

“Hehe, I bet he never dreamed that I still managed to sleep with you.” The young man touched the girl’s chest with pride on his face, “Let’s go out and give him a shock.

I want to see how he reacts when he sees me.”

“Aren’t you going to blow him up?” The high school girl was worried for some reason and desperately wanted to snatch the controller from his waist, but her sanity told her not to do so.

“He is definitely going to die, but only after I’ve mocked him.” The young man toyed with a folding knife and walked out confidently.

He was not afraid of a newcomer like Tang Zheng.

As for Zhang Yan, he would kill her once he was done playing.

Tang Zheng saw two triangles appear on the radar and slowly walk out.

Although he was puzzled, he carefully carried a tree pole five meters long from the forest.

This was a time he needed to stay calm.

A folded knife was tied to the tree pole.

Tang Zheng intended to use it to cut the ropes and free Zhang Yan.

“Haha, coward!

I thought you ran away.” The young man emerged with the high school girl, seeming victorious.

He mocked Tang Zheng, “What are you doing with that pole?

Do you want to become a panda?

Because you need to hold bamboo to look like one.”

“I thought it would be someone more important.

It turns out to be a loser I’ve defeated.” Honestly, Tang Zheng was shocked when he saw the young man, who is a Conqueror with Seed Ability, harder to deal with than other players.

“Have you ever thought of working with me?

Look, I’ve already killed four participant gamers.” The young man pointed to the four white waist bags on his belt, brimming with arrogance.

In order to disguise his strength and act like a pig to eat the tiger, Tang Zheng put all his waist bags into his backpack, leaving only one, but he didn’t reduce the number and types of bombs.

“Is it possible?” Tang Zheng asked, ignoring the fact that he had threatened him before.

After learning about the crazy behavior of the woman in the white lab coat, he stopped holding any hope for these Conquerors.

One should rely on oneself.

“Of course it’s possible, but you have to kowtow to me three times and apologize, then we can put our differences behind.” The young man arrogantly put forth this condition.

In his mind, he had already marked Tang Zheng’s name with an X.

This confident man didn’t need any burdens.

“Can I think about it?” Tang Zheng appeared hesitant, without stopping his feet, stood at the furthest end, extended the tree pole, cut off the rope holding Zhang Yan with the folding knife.

He was acting, rescuing Zhang Yan was his main goal.

With a thump, Zhang Yan fell, kicking up dust.

“Haha, girl, look how comfortable it is with me, and you don’t even have to be a captive.” The young man pointed at Zhang Yan’s disheveled state, laughing triumphantly, “By the way, my name is Li Zhi.”

“I don’t care if you die.” Zhang Yan swore, trying to stand up, but her body was numb, unable to muster any strength.

With difficulty, she rolled over, lying in the drizzle.

Tang Zheng silently sighed and helped her up, maneuvering carefully around the bombs.

He could tell that Li Zhi was the kind of extremely confident and face-conscious young man who wouldn’t take action until humiliated enough.

“Brother Tang.” Laying on Tang Zheng’s back, Zhang Yan couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, resting her cheek on his neck and sobbing.

“Don’t worry, your hands and feet are fine, they’ll heal after a few days rest.” Tang Zheng settled Zhang Yan in a quiet spot before approaching Li Zhi, “We should act quickly, before the rain gets heavier.”

“Ungrateful.” Hearing this, Li Zhi’s face changed, he pointed at Tang Zheng’s nose and swore, preparing to use his ability to take him out.

“Wait, let the high school girl step back, I don’t want to hurt her.” Tang Zheng began psychological warfare, but clearly, Li Zhi wasn’t falling for it.

“She’s my girl, none of your business.” Li Zhi swore, wrapping his arms around the high school girl and passionately kissed her in front of Tang Zheng.

It was a perfect opportunity for Tang to attack, but he still didn’t make a move because when the high school girl was being kissed, she was staring blankly at Tang Zheng, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Why did I participate in this damn Death Game?

Why didn’t I meet him a step earlier?” The high school girl had long been displeased with Li Zhi.

For a woman contemplating suicide, her continued existence was merely to return to the room, to see Tang Zheng one more time, to exchange a few more words with him.

Just as she was preparing to perish together with him, she was suddenly pushed away.

Then two bombs were thrown at Tang Zheng.

Li Zhi knew that surprise was important in attacks but unfortunately, Tang Zheng was cautiously alert to his every move.

“What did that girl’s eyes mean?” Tang Zheng puzzled as he dodged the explosions.

“Kneeling now isn’t too late, oh right, let me show you my ability.” Li Zhi smirked and leant forward, disappearing instantly.

The next moment, he appeared by Tang Zheng’s side and delivered a fierce kick to his side.

“Super Speed?

Or Teleportation?” Unable to dodge, Tang Zheng could only hastily block the kick with his right arm.

With a bang, Tang Zheng was kicked away like a runaway kite, as Li Zhi laughed loudly.

Li Zhi disappeared again and in the next second reappeared just as Tang Zheng was about to fall, delivering another kick from behind.

Tang Zheng, suspended in mid-air, couldn’t dodge and was hit again, but he also pulled out a bomb, seeing Li Zhi disappear again, he threw it towards where he was about to fall.

Just as Li Zhi reappeared, he saw a metal object bouncing around at his side.

Cursing under his breath, he quickly used his ability to disappear again.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, landed and grabbed a protruding block of cement to stop himself.

He had initially planned to save the Furious Queen for after he learned Li Zhi’s seed ability, but the onslaught made him realize he needed to settle this battle quickly.

His stamina and strength were almost useless against this speed-type opponent.

In the drizzling rain, two female musketeers appeared.

Tang Zheng intentionally let his guard down and ran into the forest, pretending to retreat.

Of course, Li Zhi laughed and reappeared in his escape route, throwing out two bombs.

Boom, boom.

The two musketeers fired their guns one after another.

Amid the curtain of rain, flashes were emmited from the firearms, as Sophie and Alizeh pulled out their pistols from their waists, and fired bullets.

Although Li Zhi teleported away at the fastest speed, underestimating his opponents resulted in his thigh and arm being hit while a bullet grazed his cheek.

He was lucky to be wearing the Unicorn Protective Clothing, otherwise, this shot would have paralyzed him.

“You bastards.” Li Zhi got scared, he didn’t expect the female musketeers to have such accurate aim.

Of course, a strong jealousy also arose in his heart.

“How does a piece of garbage like Tang Zheng deserve to have such a beautiful celebrity maid?”

Tang Zheng didn’t bother about Li Zhi’s slander, quickly taking out five impact bombs and throwing them successively, forcing Li Zhi to teleport to a pre-set direction.

The two female musketeers also followed him, firing repeatedly.

Li Zhi clearly didn’t want to engage in close combat, and the musketeers weren’t close-combat heroes either, but at this moment, Tang Zheng wished one of the musketeers could get close to Li Zhi and restrict his movements.

“Consume his life energy, then use the tracking bomb to deal the final blow.” After seeing that Li Zhi only had Teleportation Ability, Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s a good thing he couldn’t use firearms this round, otherwise, Li Zhi’s abilities would give anyone a headache.
