Chapter 125 - 125 29 Conquerors Backpack

125: Chapter 29 Conquerors Backpack 125: Chapter 29 Conquerors Backpack The rain was getting heavier, and the attacks of the two people were getting more and more fierce.

The open space in front of the abandoned factory had added a lot of pits, filled with smoke from gunpowder everywhere, the explosions were incessant.

“Can’t carry on like this.” Three minutes later, Tang Zheng found that the situation was developing in a way that was not in his favour.

Relying on his teleportation ability, though Li Zhi was looking exteremly frantic, he was always able to successfully dodge the bombs thrown by Tang Zheng and the bullets shot by the two musketeers.

Even the shock waves could not hurt him.

However, Tang Zheng was stuck in a tough battle and could be knocked to the ground by impact waves at any moment if he was not careful.

Occasionally, he would also be hurt by the shards produced by the explosions.

Even though he was wearing protective clothing, he could still feel strong pain.

What’s worse, his hearing had been damaged because of the frequent explosion sounds that kept ringing in his ears, and he started to feel slight tinnitus and dizziness.

“Furious Queen can probably only last two more minutes.

If I lose the restraint of the female musketeers, I am sure to be defeated.” Tang Zheng rolled to dodge an explosion, ignoring the muddy water on his face, and continued to rush towards Li Zhi.

He wanted to engage in close combat.

The confident smile on Li Zhi’s face that was almost always there also disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.

He had not expected Tang Zheng to be so tricky.

He was originally intending to use guerrilla tactics, to exhaust Tang Zheng’s bombs and his energy, and settle the battle with one final blow.

After all, as a Conqueror, Li Zhi had the upper hand in terms of speed, endurance, and equipment.

However, this kid had proven to be quite a drain.

“This bastard has a lot of bombs, must have slaughtered at least three players.” Li Zhi understood that Tang Zheng was playing dumb to outsmart him.

Creak, a huge branch-shaped lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, making a large noise.

The high school girl and Zhang Yan got a good scare and trembled.

Even Li Zhi was no exception, he almost instinctively turned his head but fortunately he held back.

“A good opportunity.” Tang Zheng’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he used the Blink Card in his wristwatch.

He was very resentful towards these unfamiliar things, but he had no choice now.

When Li Zhi saw that Tang Zheng’s figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air seven meters away, he immediately knew it was bad and tried to use his teleportation ability, but he was still a beat too slow.

Tang Zheng only felt a dark blur infront of his eyes.

His body was subjected to a tearing force, and the next moment, Li Zhi’s head appeared within his reach.

Tang Zheng quickly extended his left hand to grab his collar and wrapped his right hand around his waist.

In the faint thunder, both of them disappeared at the same time and then reappeared, tangled and rolling on the ground together, splashing mud everywhere.

Li Zhi punched at Tang Zheng’s eyes, trying to break free of him, while Tang Zheng savagely bit Li Zhi’s throat in an exaggerated manner to distract him.

With his right hand, he took out three remote-controlled bombs and quietly put them into the knife sheath on his thigh.

“Get away, lunatic.” Li Zhi’s punch landed square.

Seeing the two streams of bright-red nosebleeds spurting from Tang Zheng’s nostrils, he laughed heartily.

But the next second, he abruptly stopped, gurgling like a rooster whose neck had been severed.

Tang Zheng used his hand as a knife and chopped it onto Li Zhi’s throat, freeing up his right hand to take out a bomb, intending to shove it into his mouth.

“Idiot.” Seeing the other party’s hands leave his body, Li Zhi was overjoyed, immediately used his teleportation ability, and took a stabilising posture with his right hand pointed at Tang Zheng after reappearing.

“Damn,” Tang Zheng feigned regret and silently took out the remote control he had snatched from the tattooed woman as he was getting up from the ground, pressing the detonation button.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, with the first sound of the explosion, two white lightnings suddenly appeared in the sky above Tang Zheng’s head and crackled as they struck down.

Li Zhi was blown away by the explosion.

His entire lower body was bloody, but the Unicorn Protective Clothing saved his life.

However, Tang Zheng was also in bad shape.

The effect of the Thunderstrike Card immediately caused him to fall into a brief state of dizziness and paralysis.

He couldn’t even perform the most basic dodging actions now.

“I was careless,” Tang Zheng fretted, not to be underestimated as a Conqueror indeed.

“Ha ha, you’re pretty cunning.

I figured it out.

Actually, your show of engaging in close combat earlier was all to deceive me, to make me fear you teleporting bombs onto me and then teleporting away.” Li Zhi laughed unrestrainedly when he saw the two female musketeers disappearing.

He believed he had the winning ticket.

“So what?” Tang Zheng wished the other party would waste more time.

“Are you okay?” The high school girl ran anxiously to Li Zhi’s side without daring to look at Tang Zheng, sat down on the ground, put his head on her lap, and checked his wounds.

Zhang Yan, whose body was soaked with water, also wanted to go to Tang Zheng’s side, but she couldn’t muster the strength.

“There is a hemostatic potion in my pocket.” Li Zhi touched the high school girl’s chest, looked at Tang Zheng with a smug face, and mocked him, “Are you jealous, stray dog?

But you’re about to die, and I can continue to enjoy life with two women in my arms.”

As he was saying this, Li Zhi pulled out a bomb, planning to throw it at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng didn’t respond.

He was about to use the teleportation card to dodge, but then he saw the high school girl give him a brilliant smile.

“Don’t worry, take a break, he’s as good as dead.” The high school girl placed Li Zhi’s head on her lap, stroking it gently.

Her left hand, however, secretly reached into her waist bag and activated the remaining seven bombs.

“That’s right, come on, give me a kiss.” Li Zhi laughed triumphantly, putting more force into his hand.

He was not worried about Tang Zheng getting up, the paralyzing effect of the Thunderstrike was quite strong.

“Yeah, you’re doomed.” The high school girl added, then she yelled hysterically at Tang Zheng, “Thank you…”

“What?” Li Zhi thought he had heard wrong, and then saw the angry look on the high school girl’s face.

He finally realized what was happening and was about to teleport when a violent explosion occured.

The bodies of the two were instantly blown to pieces, with limbs and body parts flying everywhere.

“What’s going on?” Zhang Yan widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, “Brother Tang, do you know that female student?”

Tang Zheng shook his head, a look of desolation on his face.

The high school girl was obviously an extremist – most people would regret it after attempting suicide once, but she was different, not batting an eye in the face of death.

“So, I owe a debt of gratitude that I can never repay.” Tang Zheng lay on the ground, letting the rain hit his face, and shouted out in frustration.

He had planned to kill Li Zhi next, but what was the point?

The man was already dead.

Would he have to resurrect him just to kill him again?

Tang Zheng didn’t know that the moment the high school girl had attempted suicide and he had shown concern for her, she had wanted to live.

Unfortunately, she later met that scoundrel Li Zhi.

Her aimless days were merely in the hopes of meeting Tang Zheng again and saying “thank you”.

“Thank you!” The girl’s cry seemed to echo in Tang Zheng’s ear.

He discomfort was unbearable.

He mustered his strength to stand up, picked up Li Zhi’s Space Backpack, and after removing the wristwatch, cut off the Totem Seal on his backhand.

“You forgot, there’s also the girl’s seal.” Seeing Tang Zheng leave, Zhang Yan quickly reminded him, but as soon as she finished speaking, Tang Zheng gave her a fiery stare.

“Shut up.” Tang Zheng wished he could slap this dumb girl a few times.

Although he was aware that his own moral boundaries were becoming increasingly blurred, he was not yet at the point of desecrating a young girl who had just saved his life.

“Zhang Yan, take this shovel.

If you haven’t buried this girl properly, allowing her to rest, by dinner, then you can keep her company.” Carrying the backpack, Tang Zheng walked into the large building without looking back.

He wanted to inventory his spoils of war.

Zhang Yan, holding the shovel, broke into tears.

She didn’t dare defend herself, nor to run away.

The cold rain hitting her body was chilling, but she had long since lost any feeling.

After finding a room with a good view on the second floor, Tang Zheng started a fire with a pile of old furniture, then opened Li Zhi’s Space Backpack.

This was a Level A Space Backpack, with a maximum load of 10 kilograms, regardless of what was stored inside, and an internal volume of 20 cubic meters.

“Haha, Conquerors are all tycoons, huh?” Seeing the supplies in the backpack, Tang Zheng’s mood lightened a bit.

There were two boxes of military grade cans that could store food for a long time – vegetables, fruit, meat – and even a small bag of rice, and two 18.9L drums of purified water.

The campfire crackled as it burned, releasing heat and driving away the chill of the rainy evening.

Tang Zheng picked up a can of pineapple, and with a slight effort, twisted it open – something he would never have been able to do without enhanced strength.

“I must be the most comfortable player on Death Island.” After taking a sip of the soup, Tang Zheng took out his spoon and began to enjoy the taste of pineapple.

Through the window, he saw Zhang Yan’s staggering figure and sighed.

“Zhang Yan, come up.”

The girl apparently heard him, but after a pause, and a few seconds of hesitation, she continued digging.

“Truly a dodo.” After giving a verdict that was neither praise nor criticism, Tang Zheng continued to check his spoils – three Thunderstrike Cards and a B-class tactical straight knife.

“Is that all the props?” The moment Tang Zheng saw the card depicting a black steel multi-legged combat vehicle, he understood.

This guy had spent most of his points on this beetle-like vehicle.

Tang Zheng tried to activate it, but the wristwatch gave a warning that this game prohibited the use of vehicles and thermal weapons.

“That poor kid, bought a combat vehicle but couldn’t use it.

He must be cursing the Silver Trojan even in death.” Tang Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle, then frowned again.

It seemed that the Trojan was playing dirty, it had rendered Li Zhi’s exchange useless with a mere sentence, “I should mainly focus on strengthening my body, and use auxiliary props as little as possible”.

Having witnessed the strength of Li Zhi, the Conqueror, Tang Zheng began to worry that the other competitors would be even harder to deal with.

Originally, he had planned to strengthen his body once more and then use a Golden Seed to activate a new ability, but it seemed he would have to proceed with this earlier than planned.

“The female Musketeer’s weaknesses are too obvious.” As darkness fell, a strong wind accompanied by heavy rain poured in through the window and splattered on the campfire, making a sizzling sound.

Tang Zheng hesitated, then came downstairs; he had to set some things up, place a few traps, and distract the enemy’s attention.

Then, he could stay safe.

……

PS: Today’s chapters were difficult, took me till now to finish,

I’ve been reflecting, trying to pinpoint where I went wrong,

I believe in keeping survival stories real, cruel – each person is a toy, struggling to survive.

Perhaps I’ve overdone it.

Sometimes I think, rather quietly, that originally the first volume was supposed to only have two flight attendants left.

Okay, the second volume will follow this trend.

As for the third, fourth and fifth volumes, I probably need to revise the plot, otherwise it would be too cruel and you guys might feel tortured when reading it.

In fact, my ability to take in heavy moments isn’t high.

Back in high school, when I read ‘Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons’, I had no feelings towards women.

Just the other day when I was rereading it at work, upon seeing the plotlines of Yunyu Zhen and Shen Luoyan, I was deeply affected.

So, I tell myself to write light-hearted stories!
