Chapter 129 - 129 33 The Indomitable Warrior

129: Chapter 33: The Indomitable Warrior 129: Chapter 33: The Indomitable Warrior “If the Punishment Squad intervenes, will it attack the ordinary player participants on Death Island?

I’m sure there are surveillance devices installed on this island.

How will the organizers handle these supernatural events?” Tang Zheng furrowed his brows.

After what Li Xinlan had said, he realized there were many issues yet to be resolved.

“If the Punishment Squad only targets us, won’t the other players reap the benefits without any effort?”

“How will the Punishment Squad decide which targets to chase?

After all, we’re not together, they’re bound to overlook one or two of us, right?” Lin Weiguo tried to comfort everyone, wanting to be optimistic, but he felt his luck wasn’t that good.

“I think you guys are worrying too much.

Why do we care about the fate of the other players?

Just focus on dealing with the Punishment Squad.” Li Xinlan said gruffly after taking a bite of her canned food.

She then shot an unfriendly look at Tang Zheng.

“Being overly cautious is bad too.”

His realization made Tang Zheng sheepishly rub his head.

Indeed, the survival of his team was the most critical.

“Let’s eat quickly, set up traps, and get some sleep.” Tang Zheng positively faced the situation.

He didn’t know that due to the sudden heavy rain, all of the monitoring equipment on Death Island had been destroyed by lightning.

The organizers had completely lost control of the small island.

“Sister Xinlan, use the Conqueror’s Backpack.

It would save hundreds of points.” Lin Weiguo already had one, meaning this spoil of war naturally belonged to Li Xinlan.

On hearing this, the flight attendant enthusiastically embraced Tang Zheng and planted a kiss on him.

She was simultaneously casting a provocative glance at Zhang Yan.

“Damn wicked woman.” Zhang Yan was quite resentful, feeling like her possessions had been snatched.

She regretted not seeking happiness earlier.

Now, a beautiful woman was present and Brother Tang probably wouldn’t look her way.

With trustworthy sidekicks, Tang Zheng gave himself permission to sleep soundly after setting up the remote-controlled bombs in a few rooms.

Although it was just for two or three hours, it was enough time to rejuvenate.

At midnight, the voice of the Silver Trojan echoed punctually once again.

This clarified how pitiless it was, planning to give no respite to the toys.

“Toys, three days have passed.

The Punishment Squad is nearing.

Please roll the dice to determine their attack target.”

Tang Zheng was about to ask a few questions when the Silver Trojan interrupted him.

“The dice-rolling rule is that the toys call out ‘start’, the dice begins to roll, and within ten seconds, they have to say ‘stop.’ If they miss, they will lose the right to roll, and will be directly declared the target of the Punishment Squad.”

“For a team with more than two toy members, the Trojan will automatically designate the team captain based on the toy’s points and contributions.

The captain will have the right to roll.”

“The team with the highest total on the dice will be declared the Punishment Squad’s attack target.”

“Please note, the Punishment Squad will neither attack nor be seen by ordinary people.”

With the Silver Trojan finished, six virtual dice the size of fists appeared in mid-air, waiting silently.

Above them were the toys’ avatars.

“Huang Ya, Zhang Hao, Qin Yan, White-Collar man, White Coat woman, and Tang Zheng.” Li Xinlan scanned the names, her face filled with worry.

“I wonder how Bai Guo and the others are doing?”

“Out of Bai Guo, Zhou Zhou, and Pang Meiqin, definitely one is dead!” Tang Zheng revealed how he saw someone else carrying the flight attendant’s backpack.

The atmosphere became even more oppressive, and Zhang Yan was staring with wide eyes at the unfolding events in shock.

The fact she hadn’t fainted was quite an accomplishment.

The six dice remained completely still.

It seemed everyone was hesitant, wanting to let others roll first to observe the rules of the dice and look for any loopholes.

“Please roll the dice within thirty seconds, or you’ll be directly considered as the target of the Punishment Squad.” The Silver Trojan wouldn’t wait for the players and immediately started a countdown.

Someone couldn’t hold back any longer.

The dice representing Huang Ya started rolling.

Three seconds later, it stopped on two.

Needless to say, the toys knew that guy was probably jumping happily at this moment.

“Start.” Following Tang Zheng’s command, the dice representing his team started rolling.

Aside from the dice of the woman in a white coat, the remaining dice also began to roll.

Given thirty-second time, the toys agreed that there were no patterns or loopholes to catch, and couldn’t withstand the pressure of losing the right to roll.

A momentary delay in shouting might lead to a missed opportunity.

No dice spun for more than five seconds before coming to a stop.

Even when it was Tang Zheng’s turn to roll, he didn’t dare risk.

Just at this moment, the dice of the woman in the white coat started to spin, only stopping nine seconds later.

“Huang Ya scored four, muscle man Zhang Hao scored five, virgin Qin Yan scored two, good guy Tang Zheng scored five, white-collar newbie man scored six, and woman in the white coat scored one.” The Silver Trojan amusedly announced the results, but everyone knew without its confirmation.

“Damn, that was close.” Tang Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The moment the dice settled on five, he immediately got a bitter taste in his mouth.

It was only after seeing the white-collar newbie roll a six, that he finally breathed easy.

“After one minute, the Punishment Squad will arrive.

White-Collar man, please prepare for evasion and interception.”

Seeing the danger temporarily averted, Tang Zheng and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

They put their backpacks down and sat back by the campfire.

“Do you think that newbie can escape?” asked Li Xinlan, absentmindedly poking at the campfire, “Are there any other toys with him?”

“In this heavy rain, it’d be a miracle if an ordinary person could last ten minutes, let alone try to escape,” Lin Weiguo was pessimistic about the man’s odds, practically pronouncing his sentence.

Seeing Li Xinlan looking at him, Tang Zheng shrugged without saying anything and lay down to sleep.

He hadn’t fully settled down when the sudden noise from the Silver Trojan scared everyone.

“Ten seconds ago, the white-collar player was killed by other players.

Death confirmed.

The punishment troops will change their target.

Tang Zheng and Zhang Hao’s team, prepare to fight and escape,” the voice said.

The sudden turn of events left the three of them without even the energy to curse.

The situation had taken a turn for the worse in an instant.

“Talk about a jinx, Lin.

The guy didn’t even last a minute,” Tang Zheng joked, shouldering his backpack.

“Zhang Yan, stay here.

Trying to follow will get you killed.”

As he spoke, the countdown had ended, and the punishment troops began their teleportation.

“It’s not the Nazi Soldiers,” Li Xinlan heard Tang Zheng’s shout as she ran towards the second floor from the exit.

Ten undead soldiers, all eight feet tall and clad in armor with long spears and swords slung across their waists, appeared in the room.

Their faces were grey and rotting, and they exhaled white frost from their mouths.

They were terrifying to behold.

“What are you talking about?

Brother Tang, are you abandoning me?”- Zhang Yan couldn’t see the punishment squad that had appeared in the room and didn’t understand why Tang Zheng was in such a hurry.

She wanted to follow, but a stern glance from him sent her back to her seat.

“They’re ancient undead soldiers?” Tang Zheng had thought of throwing a bomb, but seeing Zhang Yan had made him reconsider.

As he ran into the staircase, he noticed that the soldiers had ignored Zhang Yan and were only trying to kill them.

This allowed him to breathe a small sigh of relief.

Tang Zheng followed the escape route he had prepared, leading the soldiers towards the traps laid out in advance to deal with this group of undead soldiers as quickly as possible.

In the dilapidated building, without surveillance monitors, he had no way of knowing whether punishment troops had been teleported to other areas.

Every second was extremely precious.

“You don’t need to enter the dense forest.

We can get rid of them in the building.” After seeing that the enemies were not Nazi Zombies armed with firearms, Lin Weiguo felt a lot safer.

He threw a bomb behind him, which blasted two of the undead soldiers away.

This made him smile even more.

However, the next moment, his smile vanished.

Three undead soldiers, hot on his heels, suddenly leapt forward, covering a range of five meters.

It looked like they were about to catch up.

“Throw bombs.” Tang Zheng threw a timed bomb and turned down the stairs.

He had already lit fires in over two dozen rooms.

Although the staircase was still dark, at least it was easier for them to escape.

Just as Lin Weiguo reached the second floor and was debating whether to go to the first floor or into the hallway, Li Xinlan climbed up from the first floor, panting heavily.

“The archers are here.” With her words, arrows with white feathers buried into the wall, the wind whistling around them.

“Run to the second floor.” Tang Zheng jumped past six steps and charged into the second floor, shouting at the other two and heading into the hallway.

“They’re coming down, Xinlan cover your ears and crouch down!” – Lin Weiguo, who was covering their retreat, shouted and Tang Zheng immediately hit the controller on his wrist.

A massive explosion lit up the night sky, leaving their ears ringing.

The impact of the steel weapons and armor hitting the ground made loud noises.

The three of them continued their desperate run, with arrows constantly shooting over their heads.

Just as they were about to reach the stairwell, the wall to the right of Tang Zheng broke open.

A burly undead general emerged from the rubble, swinging his axe at Tang Zheng’s head.

“Jump.” All Tang Zheng got out before the forceful wind brought by the pull of the axe made it hard for him to breathe.

He made an effort to duck and sidestep, barely making a lucky escape.

With a clang, the axe made a huge hole in the floor.

If that hit him, Tang Zheng would have been reduced to a pile of mush in an instant.

Just as Tang Zheng took a step forward, the axe swung around again, aiming for his neck as if to decapitate him.

“Troublesome.” Tang Zheng didn’t know the time period of the armor that these generals wore, neither could he recognize the dynasty from which they hailed, but he was absolutely certain of one thing – they were incredibly powerful.

A group of archers arrived at the location where Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan had jumped from, launching a volley of arrows at the two of them who were still scurrying around in the open space.
