Chapter 1269: Chapter 23: Attack and Kill

Dantai actually failed to dodge the Stitching Beast’s attack, which completely surprised Mu Nianqi. Was this really the standard of a deputy Group Leader? Too trashy.

"Retreat outside the Castle!" Queen Mu saw that Qin Yan was equally silent and uncommunicative; without Tang Zheng’s leadership, the others, despite attacking energetically, had no idea how to take initiative or coordinate. She was so frustrated that she stood up and took over command.

The newbies had already been scared out of their wits, and hearing this, they took the opportunity like a pardon from the king and turned their heads, hurrying out.

"A bunch of idiots, go into the rooms and jump out the windows, it’s the second floor, it won’t kill you." Mu Nianqi didn’t hold back her harsh words to the alumni, cursing them outright. She was defeated by the newbies’ panicked behavior—these guys were so nervous they were clueless, absolutely worthless in training. It would’ve been surprising if there were no monsters blocking the way on enemy territory.

Sure enough, the newbies quickly came back, firing their guns and shouting illogically, merely using the shouting as a means to alleviate their fear, pointless in every sense.

Behind them, a group of science monsters chased them down. Without the Conquerors leading the main attack, the newbies’ firepower was too weak to push them back. The monster faced the bullets and charged forward, slapping out with its huge, basin-like hand and hitting the nurse at the end of the line on the head.

Bang, the nurse’s neck twisted nearly at a ninety-degree angle, and she smashed against the wall. The monster grabbed her ankle and dragged her back, then seized her other leg with its other hand and started tearing them apart.

"No, help me." The nurse screamed as she felt intense pain from below.

Turning their heads, the newbies saw the nurse, wearing white silk stockings, with her legs grasped in the hands of the science monsters, split into a splits position, hanging upside down in a dive, with her skirt flipped up, revealing her underwear.

No one was in the mood for this tempting scene. Sun Jingshan wanted to save her, but it was too late. The monster exerted force with both hands, ripping the nurse’s legs off with a tearing sound, and her abdomen ripped apart, spilling a large amount of visceral organs.

The monster threw away the Corpse and continued the chase. The pile of flesh behind it crawled over the nurse’s Corpse, sticking her to itself, and proceeded to devour her.

Song Xin watched as the nurse’s legs were stuffed into the big mouth of the flesh mass, being chewed incessantly, almost vomiting bile in disgust.

"Help us, please save us!" Zhang Chun’en begged for help. Among the group of newbies, only Ge Cang was relatively safe under Mu Nianqi’s protection, while the others were in constant danger.

"Run, didn’t you hear what Mu Nianqi said?" Dong Zixuan melted the hallway’s floor to buy time, but unfortunately, she overestimated the newbies’ sense of direction and reaction speed.

The first clueless newbie ran into the wrong room, causing the other following newbies to suffer badly; only the two special forces soldiers were bold enough to rush into the house, breaking through the glass window and jumping into the Castle’s courtyard.

"Wrong way, it’s right!" The policewoman hurriedly corrected, attempting to intercept the monsters.

"Never mind them, kill the BOSS first!" Teng Yuangxiang shouted. The policewoman simply couldn’t differentiate priorities.

"Be careful, the BOSS is coming over!" Lin Weiguo heard a noise beneath his feet and fired a shot, breaking the floor, seeing Frank’s figure flash by.

Hisss, hisss, a green ray shot through the floor, piercing upwards. The Conquerors’ bodies bristled with Defense Shields, which flickered under the impact and seemed on the verge of collapse.

Teng Yuangxiang was rather unlucky, getting hit by two shots; her shield shattered, and screaming in terror, she quickly fled into a room. A newbie without defensive Equipment was pierced through the waist by a green ray and instantly screamed as he fell to the ground. The wound looked as if it had been doused with concentrated sulfuric acid, the flesh dissolving into pus rapidly. In less than three seconds, only his tattered clothes remained.

Hearing Dong Zixuan’s shout, the newbies ran to the door, only to witness this horrifying scene of death, and all were too scared to move any further.

"Don’t stop, keep running!" Tang Zheng yelled. These guys were too cowardly, and standing in place just meant that they were exposed to attacks for a longer period; they were better off making a dash for it.

The newbies suddenly realized their situation, then a green ray pierced through the floor again, striking three unlucky ones.

"Save me!" A nurse got grazed on the calf, and seeing her flesh disintegrate, she shrieked piercingly, thrashing around on the floor.

Song Xin couldn’t bear it and sent a Healing Magic spell her way. The injury was lessened, and she ran over to help up the nurse. However, a ray shot up from below, piercing through the nurse’s abdomen.

"I don’t want to die!" The nurse dissolved into pus, leaving behind only her silk stockings and underwear.

"Let’s get out before we continue the fight!" Pang Meiqin sheathed her knife, turned, and rushed into the room. She fired her gun at the wall to blast a big hole and headed out.

The Conquerors withdrew one after another.

"Be careful, that’s definitely an S-level weapon." Gu Xueqi felt a chill; the power that could blow up the Light Defense Shield with two shots was definitely not something she could bear.

The scene was too chaotic; Tang Zheng simply couldn’t determine the BOSS’s location by sound, and he noticed that teams that used to cooperate were now just fighting on their own. Although there were more team members, they couldn’t bring their combat power into play.

The Stitching Beast didn’t chase after Pang Meiqin; instead, it turned its head and pounced towards Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo, blocking their path, while Frank broke through the ceiling and jumped up, pursuing Pang Meiqin’s group.

Zii, a green ray blasted out, hitting two lagging newbies; Jiang Liming’s unlucky yellow-haired lackey got the worst of it, shot in the back of the head before he could even use his ability, and died.

"You go kill the BOSS; I’ll handle this one!" Lin Weiguo took the initiative, crashing into the Stitching Beast like a meteor hitting Earth.

Crack, the Stitching Beast’s three animal heads bit down, leaving half-inch deep tooth marks on the alloy armor.

"Die!" Bang, Lin Weiguo leaned forward and, with his arms like iron gates, embraced one of the Stitching Beast’s heads, twisted his waist, swung his armature, and viciously slammed it into the ground.

"Don’t be impulsive, let’s kill it together!" Tang Zheng didn’t take Lin Weiguo’s advice; the old soldier was in greater danger, and it was too late to wait for others to support him. After all, any mistake on the battlefield could be lethal, especially since he didn’t trust those teammates shrouded in doubt. Frank served as a perfect test for their mettle.

Lin Weiguo pounded the Stitching Beast with his fists, casting a surprised glance at Tang Zheng, "Have you actually managed to kick your nasty do-gooder habit?"

Tang Zheng didn’t respond; with one hand, he grabbed the Stitching Beast’s iron chain and plunged the Snow Marrow dagger into its body. He couldn’t always act as the nanny; his teammates would never grow otherwise. Even if someone died, he was already mentally prepared for it.

"This seems like the first time we’ve fought side by side, haha, full firepower, let’s finish off this dog quickly!" Lin Weiguo’s thoughts drifted back to the first time he met Tang Zheng when they used the Human Train Tactic to kill zombies in a corridor. But this time, it was just the two of them on the battlefield. He laughed loudly and entered an explosive state.

Bang, Lin Weiguo flipped the Stitching Beast and frenziedly pummeled its head.

Tang Zheng, now in an explosive state, executed Gravity Suppression while Daylily appeared, bolstered with power and agility halos, then vanished. The general’s Warhammer swung like a pile driver, ceaselessly pounding the Stitching Beast’s belly, causing it to howl in pain.

Several inattentive mad scientists attacked, only to be knocked down by Tang Zheng with a kick. Then he grabbed the arm of one monster, using it as a makeshift wolf-tooth club to bludgeon the Stitching Beast.

In the courtyard, the battle also reached a fever pitch, with Frank hot on the heels, taking down several newbies.

"Do you want to get team annihilated? Get moving, now!" Mu Nianqi led the charge against the BOSS; a semi-transparent arc-shaped air blade formed around her, shooting towards Frank, shredding its clothes and scoring its skin like a razor.

"Ai Yixin, Diamond Transformation, Qin Yan, liquefy, hold it down!" Pang Meiqin was ready for a desperate fight, "Dragging this out will just get us taken down one by one; better to go full firepower and at least hold out until Tang Zheng arrives."

Dantai released a Mental Impact, Li Xinlan shot out Ice Spears, and Lu Fan controlled the sand dust, creating quicksand in an attempt to trap Frank, but to no avail. That’s because Dong Zixuan unleashed her ability, and the ground split open as lava surged forth.

"Put away your lava!" Mu Nianqi, smelling the pungent sulfur, yelled. Dong Zixuan’s control abilities weren’t up to par, several Conquerors were affected and had to avoid the lava, resulting in a loss of combat power.

Jing Lan’s Ghost Reaper flew out, but before it could get close to Frank, it was shot through. The Time-space Blackfish was also intercepted and couldn’t get close.

Ai Yixin’s entire body underwent Diamond Transformation and charged at Frank. Rays hit her, blasting off pieces of diamond, allowing Pang Meiqin to seize the opportunity while the Wife entangled the BOSS. She rushed in, Hell’s Song in her left hand, blasting out Explosive Arrows to block Frank’s escape route.

"Chance!" The moment Ai Yixin was knocked away, Pang Meiqin’s right hand wielding Ripper sliced horizontally, embedding the chainsaw blade deep into Frank’s arm.

"Break it for me!" As Frank pointed its muzzle at her, Pang Meiqin shouted angrily, exploded with power, leaped up, and with her legs like scissors, locked onto the BOSS’s neck. At the same time, she twisted her waist, flung her armature, and twisted Frank’s head using the force of the spin.

Crack, Frank’s head was twisted 180 degrees. Pang Meiqin pressed down with Ripper, the ray narrowly missing her body as she took advantage of the broken arm.

The Beautiful Leg Stewardess didn’t linger in combat; she kicked Frank’s chest, using the momentum to somersault away, rolling several times to exit the Battle Circle.

Of course, Mu Nianqi wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. She appeared atop Frank and swung her Curved Knife at its neck, severing its head.

Gu Xueqi’s Flame Phoenix struck the BOSS with a clear call, burning off its clothes. Jiang Liming spotted a beautiful handled dagger inserted at its waist and, his eyes lighting up, underwent beastification, rushing towards it like a gust of wind. After picking up the ray gun from the ground, he stretched out his hand to grab the Soul Dagger.

Jiang Liming had studied the Trojan evaluation system; delivering the fatal blow to a BOSS or retrieving mission items would score highly. He wasn’t worried about the now retreating Frank; even if it wasn’t dead, it would be critically injured, and he was confident he could withstand this round of attack.

Jiang Liming was cunning; he fired his gun, the green ray piercing the BOSS’s heart before he grabbed the dagger—and yet, he overplayed his hand. (To be continued. If you like this novel, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com; your support is my greatest motivation.)
