Chapter 1289: Chapter 43: Deadly Fight (Third Update)

The sparse tree forest near the villa was completely awakened by the dense and chaotic gunshots, plunging into a state of panic.

Little Red Riding Hood’s round-toe leather shoes had white wings fluttering, allowing her to float in the starry night sky, resembling an elf, only she brought death and panic.

"You all are going to die!" Little Red Riding Hood spread her arms, holding two cannon-like handguns, and fired rapidly. The dark red bullets almost formed a straight line as they slammed into the ground.

Ruan Feifei dodged miserably, only because she had thrown a Lightning Ball, making her the target of Little Red Riding Hood’s attack. The bullets chased after her, splattering the soil as they struck.

"That’s definitely an SS-level weapon or above," the female anchor’s Defense Shield only took a dozen hits before it cracked, "I was careless."

The female anchor cursed herself for being too quick and then dived into the panicked group of newbies, hoping to use them to divert Little Red Riding Hood’s firepower.

"Stay away!" Sun Jingshan bellowed, "You’ll get everyone killed!"

Ruan Feifei persisted, her sprinting speed unabated. At such a time, survival was the most important thing; she couldn’t care less about others’ lives or deaths.

Seeing a group of newbies, Little Red Riding Hood naturally wanted to slaughter them. Her right hand, holding White Ivory, continued to pursue Ruan Feifei, while her left hand, wielding Black Ebony, strafed the newbies.

The two SS-level hand guns spat half-meter-long orange-red muzzle flames, like venomous snakes choosing their next prey, cunning and lethal.

The university students were too slow and didn’t even know where to hide, flailing around in confusion. Coupled with their lack of defensive means, they became mere targets.

As bullets struck them, their bodies swelled up like balloons filled with hydrogen, then burst with a pop, pop.

There was blood and broken flesh everywhere; intestines and viscera were flung onto tree branches. In less than ten seconds, the soil was completely wetted and turned red, covered with severed limbs and body parts.

Ruan Feifei managed to escape.

"Everyone attack, bring her down!" Lin Weiguo roared. The old soldier’s innate sense of justice to protect his country remained, and seeing the university students dying, he was furious. Holding his machine gun, he fired at Little Red Riding Hood in the sky.

Unfortunately, the response was limited, Lin Weiguo’s influence was not enough. Also, some clones were staying out of trouble. Having seen Ruan Feifei’s misfortune, no one wanted to provoke Little Red Riding Hood.

Teng Yuangxiang ignored the old soldier. Seeing that the Werewolf stopped appearing, she withdrew from the battle circle, loitering around. If Little Red Riding Hood attacked her side, she would run towards the villa and meet Tang Zheng with an excuse of "I came to report."

Pang Meiqin lifted Hell’s Song, hesitated for a moment, but did not attack proactively. What did these people’s fates have to do with her? Thinking about her isolated situation, she lost the will to fire.

Lu Fan’s eyes flickered sharply. He threw out the Wisdom Sword. Spinning in midair, it created a hundred sword shadows but held its attack.

"What are you afraid of? Fire!" Lin Weiguo shouted angrily. He realized something was wrong. Li Xinlan and Qin Yan weren’t cold-blooded to this extent. Xu Liangmao, the miserable guy, although always silent, was utterly obedient. Yet today, even he stubbornly refused to take action.

Seeing Zhao Dongtao deploying the Floating Cannon, Lin Weiguo felt reassured. At least these people were still useful, their kindness not yet eroded by the brutal game.

At the treetops, the air shimmered with ripples. Metallic muzzles emerged, firing at Little Red Riding Hood.

Amid the deafening roar, cannon shells soared towards Little Red Riding Hood, exploding in the sky, but she dodged them adeptly.

"No good, the Ghost Reaper can’t fly that high!" Jing Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her Reaper, holding a sickle, flew up about ten meters but couldn’t rise any higher. After all, it wasn’t an aerial combat ability and had its limits.

Tao Ran’s Time-space Blackfish was also powerless, only able to watch helplessly as Little Red Riding Hood hovered in the sky, slaughtering the newbies.

In just under a minute, two-thirds of the eighty or so newbies were killed. Lin Fachan protected his girlfriend, wanting to fight but sadly powerless.

"Why did she become the BOSS?" Li Xinlan ran to Qin Yan’s side, despondent.

"I don’t know," Qin Yan coldly replied. Seeing bullets coming, she quickly moved away.

The married woman cursed, an Ice Shield appeared above her head, but it only lasted a few seconds before shattering into cascading ice chunks.

The group was a mess, utterly disorganized. The Conquerors smartly began to move towards the villa. With no other choice, Lin Weiguo sighed and followed.

Tang Zheng and two others killed the Werewolf leader and rushed back to the team swiftly.

"Look!" Mu Nianqi pointed to the sky, where Little Red Riding Hood floated as conspicuously as the North Star. The night wind carried her laughter far away.

Tang Zheng furiously whipped the Velociraptor’s rear, spurring it to speed up again. When he saw Teng Yuangxiang, who was shielding her face with both hands and breaking through tree branches, followed closely by other demoralized Conquerors, anger erupted in his lungs.

"What are you running for? Counterattack!" Tang Zheng roared as he raised his hand and fired a focused shot at Teng Yuangxiang, producing a large pit where it struck.

The other Conquerors also stopped abruptly, glanced at the big pit at their feet, and looked toward Tang Zheng.

"What are you dazing for? Attack, and if anyone runs, don’t blame me for being ruthless," Tang Zheng shouted angrily. Once he left, they had indeed become like loose sand.

With a wave of his hand, Steel Sky appeared in the sky, releasing a Kirov airship while forming an orbital cannon, and like a gate, it slammed straight down, forcing Little Red Riding Hood to decrease her altitude.

The Conquerors, not wanting to endure Tang Zheng’s roar, began to counterattack. Teng Yuangxiang cunningly swept her machine gun, but her bullets veered wildly off mark.

Pang Meiqin, holding Scientific Monster No.1, fired green rays that closely missed Little Red Riding Hood, forcing her to keep dodging. The Beautiful Leg Stewardess fought desperately just for Tang Zheng.

Feeling the threat, Little Red Riding Hood focused her attack on Pang Meiqin, but to her dismay, hundreds of Wisdom Swords swooshed towards her.

Lu Fan was not slackening. She spun the pepper grinder, swinging and firing, but her equipment was so poor it couldn’t even harm Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood quickly fired at the curtain of swords, turning them into a colorful array of spotty lights.

Li Xinlan fired an ice spear, which was immediately shattered in mid-air, and the ice chunks tumbled down.

Ruan Feifei swung her arm with full force, throwing a lightning ball at Little Red Riding Hood. Little Lolita popped into the air, thinking she had evaded, only for the lightning ball to suddenly expand into a lightning net that enveloped her.

The lightning struck Little Red Riding Hood, causing her a brief moment of rigidity.

Seizing the opportunity, Ruan Feifei hurled more lightning balls.

"What are you two doing, not even able to control the team?" Tang Zheng glared fiercely at Qin Yan and Lin Weiguo, so angry he felt like hitting someone. He waved his hand, and the Osu Eagle, like a rocket piercing the sky, crashed into Little Red Riding Hood.

"First, bring her down." A white light flashed, and Mu Nianqi released an eagle, mounted it, and swooped toward the fallen Little Red Riding Hood, pulling out her Insect Longbow and shooting arrow after arrow in the form of giant dragons.

Little Red Riding Hood, continuously jostled by the hits, seized a brief moment to gather energy at her gun’s muzzle and fired an umbrella-shaped barrage before quickly pulling her cloak and disappearing into the night sky as a cloud of black mist.

"What just happened?" Dantai released a mental impact, asking Lin Wei.

"Do you remember when Little Red Riding Hood fed her grandmother a capsule and then for some unknown reason, the old lady died, and she started hunting us down?" Teng Yuangxiang hurriedly answered.

"We must kill the witnesses, or else Mom will be taken away!" Little Red Riding Hood teleported and suddenly appeared behind Ruan Feifei, firing rapidly with dual guns.

The female anchor was miserable, being targeted heavily due to the aggressive onslaught.

"What does that mean?" Dantai, bewildered, recalled the leader’s words, "Could it be her mother poisoned her?"

Dantai’s guess was very close. Little Red Riding Hood’s mother lived an ordinary life and bore no grudges. However, seeing her grandmother spend huge amounts of money on an orphanage over the last decade, supporting many children but not giving a penny to them, she felt an imbalance in her heart. Why show such benevolence to children who aren’t even relatives?

Her mother was still kind-hearted, discontent but without radical actions. Since the inheritance was substantial, they wouldn’t run out of money. She eagerly awaited her grandmother’s death, being the sole heir and especially content a month ago when she learned her grandmother was severely ill and near death. But then, a severe reality check struck.

The grandmother planned to write a will early, intending to donate all her inheritance to keep the orphanage running. Knowing she wouldn’t receive a dime even after the old woman’s death ignited malice in her mother.

A few nights ago, as Little Red Riding Hood got up to go to the toilet, she passed by her mother’s room and overheard her murmuring about the inheritance and cursing her grandmother, which terrified the little loli.

"My mom did it for me; I should forgive her!" Little Red Riding Hood understood her mother sought their wealth so they could live comfortably.

She planned to find a chance to talk to her mother, to tell her that even without money, as long as they were together, she would be happy. But alas, all ended today.

Little Red Riding Hood was smart; upon seeing her grandmother’s death, she guessed her mother had switched the capsules with a poisonous one. Panicked, her only remaining thought was to kill anyone who had seen this and keep it a secret. She had already lost her grandmother and couldn’t lose her mother as well.

"Ai Yixin, Brother Lin, Qin Yan, restrain her!" Tang Zheng shouted as he charged toward the gothic loli-dressed Little Red Riding Hood, left gun and right knife ready, "Others, attack, keep up the firepower!"

Xu Biyun’s puppet emerged from the ground, its hands reaching out and grabbing Little Red Riding Hood’s feet, hoisting her upside down.

Her skirt flipped up, revealing cartoon underwear and white pantyhosed legs—a sight so cute even Xu Biyun hesitated to dismember her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
