Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 128 - 128 32 Convergence

128: Chapter 32: Convergence 128: Chapter 32: Convergence Boom, a violent explosion disintegrated the wooden staircase on site, sending rubble flying and striking the wall with a rapid, crashing sound.

“Gone?

Impossible!” Even though the swirling dust blocked his view, Lin Weiguo was still able to make out the scene through the firelight from the explosion.

He didn’t spot any enemy corpses, leaving him utterly puzzled.

The next moment, he was filled with intrigue, as the sounds of combat erupted from Li Xinlan, about ten meters behind him.

“How did he get over there?” Lin Weiguo no longer cared about concealing his tracks and hurriedly gave chase.

He saw two figures entangled, with Li Xinlan at a clear disadvantage.

The moment Tang Zheng saw the wristwatch controller, his sweat glands were on overdrive.

To be on the safe side, he used a teleportation card immediately, not wanting to be blown to bits.

“It was the right gamble.” Hearing the explosion behind him, Tang Zheng breathed a tense sigh of relief and immediately grabbed at the black shadow in front of him.

Sensing a huge hand suddenly gripping her shoulder, Li Xinlan was startled.

This person definitely wasn’t Lin Weiguo.

Unconcerned with how the man had gotten to her, she wielded her dagger with her left hand, stabbing behind her while using her ability to create layers of ice on her shoulder, hoping to restrict his movement.

His vision was limited by the darkness, and the noise of the wind and rain considerably weakened Tang Zheng’s hearing.

Hence, he was left to fight by intuition alone.

Hence, when the dagger suddenly lunged at him, his reflexes lagged, and he got hit squarely by the blade.

Fortunately, his protective clothing was durable, or that strike could have punctured his kidney.

Both shocked and angered, Tang Zheng didn’t have time to grab the dagger, his right hand accelerated in grabbing the attacker’s chin, ready to intrusively snap her neck.

“A woman with a left hand?” Sensing the frostbite on his left hand, Tang Zheng paused momentarily, his movement slightly delayed.

But his opponent didn’t cease her assault.

She rammed the back of her head into him and lunged with a second knife attack.

Not just her, Lin Weiguo had also arrived, the dagger in his hand thrust toward Tang Zheng’s back like a venomous snake.

“Xin Lan?” Tang Zheng shouted tentatively, lunged forward, and pressed himself flat on the ground.

He rolled awkwardly away, not knowing what attack his enemy behind would launch, but keeping a distance was unarguably the best move.

Tang Zheng didn’t counterattack immediately because when he yelled “Xin Lan,” the woman he held in his arms clearly shook, and the footprints behind him also stopped.

With a clap of thunder, a flash of lightning briefly illuminated the building through a broken window.

Three faces flickered for a moment, then were swallowed again by the darkness.

But now, no one attacked; the room was filled only with the thickness of darkness and heavy breathing.

“Sister Xin Lan.” Tang Zheng recognized the woman beneath him, and couldn’t help but sigh in self-mockery.

Indeed, big waters have flooded the Dragon King Temple; a family doesn’t recognize one another.

Li Xinlan didn’t reply.

She rolled over, stretched her arms around Tang Zheng, and soon, her hot lips were on his, forcing open his clenched teeth, passionately exploring.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lin Weiguo shrugged.

“Brother Tang, couldn’t you have made a sound?

Look at all the cold sweat I’ve shed!

We almost killed each other.”

“If I had spoken, wouldn’t that have exposed me!” Tang Zheng broke free from Li Xinlan’s grip and got up.

He started dusting his clothes and sighed, “I should be the one saying that you nearly blew me to pieces.”

Lin Weiguo fell silent, acknowledging that Tang Zheng handled the situation correctly.

During a fight in the dark, no one would stupidly expose their location, even trying to suppress their breathing as much as possible.

“You used a Teleportation Card, didn’t you?” Li Xinlan was pulled up by Tang Zheng, after which she took a flashlight from her waist, switched it on, and immediately illuminated Tang Zheng’s face.

“Quit messing around.” Tang Zheng squinted and turned his head, then took out a radar to check.

“Good, no other enemies around.”

“I nearly got killed by your explosion just now.

How are you going to compensate me?” Li Xinlan grumbled not so subtly.

At that moment, all three of them were trying to dissipate their lingering fear and tension with banter.

If it hadn’t been for Tang Zheng’s quick reactions, one of them would certainly have ended up lying dead on the floor.

“Your teammate hiding in the back is really a coward, isn’t he?” Lin Weiguo was actually quite smart, albeit not showing it often.

If the man knew him, he would have come out long ago.

“What are you hiding for, come here.” Tang Zheng took a glance back and grumbled.

“What good is hiding going to do?

If I had been killed, could you have escaped?

You only had two choices, to run or to fight.”

“Tang Zheng, where did you find such a burden?

Well, at least she didn’t run away and leave you.” Lin Weiguo’s tone was quite friendly.

If Zhang Yan had run away just now, the consequences would not have been as simple as just being scolded.

Zhang Yan obeyed nervously, not daring to speak, discreetly glancing at Tang Zheng.

She noticed that the woman was quietly pinching his waist, which left a bitter taste in her mouth.

“Did you sleep with her?” Li Xinlan moved near Tang Zheng’s ear and asked quietly.

The flirtatious tone from Flight Attendant seemed not only about drinking, and she added more strength to her grip.

“No, we can discuss that later.” Tang Zheng quickly clarified, changing the topic, “Aren’t you guys interested in a lavish dinner?

My treat!”

“You’re the one we’re going to feast on,” Lin Weiguo laughed hard, patting Tang Zheng’s shoulder and heading to the third floor.

As they entered the room, the warmth of the campfire drove away the chill.

Combined with the steaming meat porridge and the pleasant aroma, it immediately made Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan hungry, their stomachs embarrassingly rumbling.

“After three days of eating bugs and sour wild fruits, I feel like throwing up.” Li Xinlan cheered, squatting down by the campfire and stirring the meat porridge with a spoon.

“We also managed to grab a supply box yesterday, but we had bad luck today and ran into a small group of four.” Lin Weiguo sighed, his eyes passing over the supply boxes, backpacks, tent, and sleeping bag in the room.

He then slapped Tang Zheng’s shoulder enviously and said, “You’re living quite the life here – food, shelter, travel, and even a girl’s company.

Are you here for the killing game or are you on a vacation?”

“And you have canned fruit and packed meals, you lucky bastard.” Before Tang Zheng could respond, Li Xinlan teased, but she avoided reaching for the canned fruit as it was placed by Zhang Yan’s side.

“Hang on, everyone will have a share.

To celebrate our reunion, we’ll have a feast tonight.” Tang Zheng quickly pulled his backpack closer and tossed a piece of chocolate each to Li Xinlan and Lin Weiguo, “Have the chocolates to fill yourselves up for now.

Zhang Yan, don’t worry, these are my partners.

Go ahead and eat.”

The girl was about to pass the can to Li Xinlan, but upon hearing this, she timidly responded and didn’t.

“Oh, good girl.” Li Xinlan petted the girl’s hair and then began to cheer and exclaim as she saw Tang Zheng pulling out several cans of beef, fruit, and even a bag of rice from his backpack.

These supplies could last a person for about a week if they were careful.

“We should save some, it feels wasteful.” Lin Weiguo frowned.

Despite his hunger, he hadn’t forgotten about their survival situation.

“No problem, with your help, we can complete the mission within four days, and looting supply boxes will be a piece of cake.” Tang Zheng pointed at the rice, “Anyway, we can’t finish it all.”

“Where did you get it from?

That’s not your backpack, is it?”Li Xinlan picked up a bottle of mineral water, poured it into a metal box and helped steam the rice.

“I took it from a Conqueror,” Tang Zheng simply explained, “How have you guys been these past few days?”

“Pretty good, we teamed up and managed to grab eleven Totem Seals, with four for me and seven for Weiguo.” Li Xinlan tried to play it down with her words, but the pride in her face was hard to hide, “And you?”

“Nine.

But I promised to help Zhang Yan get eight.” Of course, Tang Zheng wouldn’t mention that this was the price he paid for finding a bait.

From the look of things now, it didn’t seem necessary anymore.

“Impressive, you are truly formidable.” Lin Weiguo raised a thumb in admiration, “Not only could you grab so many Totem Seals, but you’re also managing to live comfortably.

You definitely are the top person on Death Island.”

“Let’s exchange some information.

Tell me about the enemies you encountered but didn’t take down.” Tang Zheng shifted back into work mode.

He was more interested in this topic than he was in eating.

Lin Weiguo started his narration, specifically mentioning two people, “Before I teamed up with Xin Lan, I encountered a young man wearing sunglasses.

He was tough.

We chased each other for three hours and neither of us won the upper hand.

We finally decided to part ways.

I think he didn’t make his full effort, otherwise, I wouldn’t have seen you.”

“That’s quite normal.

If it were me, I’d retreat right after a preliminary confrontation with a strong enemy.

There are so many preys around, it’s not worth getting injured by fighting it out with difficult opponents.” Tang Zheng frowned, “And who’s the second person?”

“Zhang Hao.

That guy is insane.

He and that woman called Jiaojiao are mercilessly killing every player they see.

It looks like he’s going to earn more points than you this time.” Lin Weiguo felt slightly queasy thinking about Zhang Hao’s inhuman bloodlust, “He was even abusing corpses.

You didn’t see it…never mind, let’s not talk about it.”

Seeing there were two girls nearby, Lin Weiguo swallowed his words.

“Alright, let’s eat.

It’s a pity that Qin Yan and the others aren’t here.

I wonder how they’re doing now.” Li Xinlan glanced at the thunderstorm raging outside, sighed, and quietly decided to sleep with Tang Zheng tonight.

She was in severe need of a warm chest to lean on.

“It’s up to fate.” Lin Weiguo opened a can with a straight knife, pouring the fragrant meat onto the rice.

“I’m glad that I bumped into Tang Zheng, or I wouldn’t know how to deal with the punishment troops tonight.” Chewing the fragrant food, Li Xinlan mumbled happily, being able to run into Tang Zheng meant she didn’t have to worry about handling difficulties, which was great.

Lin Weiguo nodded in agreement, while Tang Zheng suddenly froze and smacked his forehead in frustration.

He had completely forgotten about dealing with the punishment troops.
