Chapter 132 - 132 36 Conquerors and Team Battle

132: Chapter 36: Conquerors and Team Battle 132: Chapter 36: Conquerors and Team Battle Supported by such a beautiful woman like Yin Shangwu, feeling the warmth her body emitted through his arm, Tang Zheng fell silent again.

He couldn’t fathom this woman’s intentions, her unconventional playing cards had nearly disrupted all his schemes.

“This feeling is utterly disastrous.” For Tang Zheng, who was accustomed to maintaining control over situations, what he detested most was the ‘unstable time bombs.’ “How can I utilize her?

However, first, I should gain her trust.”

“Has no one told you how enchanting you look pondering with a furrowed brow?” Yin Shangwu teased, then warned, “Do not try to use me.

You should look at me as a companion.

Otherwise, despite my admiration for your talents, I will kill you.”

“You don’t have much confidence in yourself, do you?” Tang Zheng would certainly not admit it, instead responding with a counterattack.

“I don’t enjoy verbal arguments.

Go and console your little toy, she seems really scared.” Yin Shangwu abruptly pushed Tang Zheng away and walked towards the room without waiting for him.

“Zhang Yan, come here.” Tang Zheng leaned against a wall, looked at the frightened girl, and knew he had to say something or his bait would spoil prematurely.

Zhang Yan, who had been held in Tang Zheng’s arms soon after she stepped forward, felt the warm kiss he planted on her lips before she could recover.

Sensing his wandering hands at her back, the tension within her suddenly eased, and in her emotional state, she started responding to Tang Zheng’s passionate kiss.

Honestly, her days spent with Tang Zheng had profoundly moved her.

Whether it was his handsome appearance or his strategic planning in the face of adversity, not to mention that he once saved her life, she could not deny her feelings towards him.

However, when she abruptly heard that he had planted a bomb on her, she felt as if her beautiful dreams had shattered.

“Are there no good men in this world?

Do they think about discarding me once they see no utility in me?” Zhang Yan despaired, wanting to question Tang Zheng.

She thought she would lose herself to him that night, but the next moment, she was pushed away.

“I just removed the bomb attached to your underwear, Zhang Yan, you’re free now.” Tang Zheng swung the bomb in his hand, his face devoid of any expression, “Even I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely make it back alive.

When necessary, my life is also a stake, so I would use your corpse if I had to.”

Upon hearing these cruel words, Zhang Yan felt a bitter taste in her heart.

However, reminiscing Tang Zheng’s ferocious and insane actions during the fight and the numerous scars on his body, she felt somewhat relieved.

“I am giving you four totem seals and twenty bombs as your farewell gift.” Tang Zheng removed his white waist bag and handed it to her.

Then he leaned against the wall and walked into his room without any reluctance.

Zhang Yan started sobbing uncontrollably, thinking that she might have wrongly accused him.

In this dangerous environment, was it wrong to use every advantage?

“By the way, you have wounds on your wrists and ankles, don’t soak in water for too long.”

Watching Tang Zheng’s figure disappear into the room, Zhang Yan shivered.

Right, he saved me not just once, her gaze involuntarily shifted to her wrist.

A bruised imprint was particularly noticeable.

Then she noticed the long trail of blood on the ground; she knew it was left behind by Tang Zheng.

“Brother Tang is also having a hard time.” Zhang Yan hesitated, standing foolishly in her place.

“Would you let her go?” Yin Shangwu looked Tang Zheng up and down, shook her head, “Why take the time plotting for a toy?

Do you not prefer direct violence and domination?

You are making it more complicated.”

“I’m a good person.” Tang Zheng returned and sat near the campfire, and began to remove his protective clothing.

He was worried about Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan, but his current terrible physical state didn’t allow him to provide them any support.

“A good person?

Every word you say would make that girl think automatically.

She’s alive to this point solely because of you, which is far more powerful than any explanation you could provide.

Moreover, you behaved like a gentleman, gifting her bombs, totem seals, all to increase her affections towards you.” Yin Shangwu evaluated Tang Zheng while making noise, “She’s quite pretty, especially her D cup chest.

In our time, I don’t know how many men would want to keep her.

But you hadn’t even bedded her.

This behaviour, proof of your character, has scored you some points.

By the way, I am curious, are you gay?”

Tang Zheng didn’t respond.

He glanced at his handheld radar and began to organize his backpack.

The Star Seed was naturally kept close at hand, placing the bronze sword and bombs aside.

“Look, you’ve showed your hand.

My guess was correct.

There must be a remote-control bomb in that girl’s waist bag.

Even if she doesn’t accept the one you offered, you still have a chance to detonate her.” Yin Shangwu pointed at the handheld radar, “How far do you plan to let her go before triggering the explosion?”

“Shut up.” Tang Zheng glared at Yin Shangwu and roared, his thoughts exposed.

He didn’t mind letting Zhang Yan go, but not now.

If she insisted on leaving, then the fate of the bait would end here.

“Angry out of embarrassment?

Hehe, if you were just a bit more ruthless, a little more scheming, I would be more pleased.” Yin Shangwu pulled over the space backpack from the ground without any politeness, rummaging through its contents, “You even slaughtered a Conqueror, looks like I have to give you more points.”

“Go save Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan, they are good comrades.” Tang Zheng felt the need to assert some of his demands, he couldn’t let Yin Shangwu continue speaking so arrogantly.

He checked the handheld radar, confirmed Zhang Yan’s location, and breathed a sigh of relief once he was sure she wouldn’t hear, if she heard these words, no explanation would suffice.

“The veteran is fine, but Li Xinlan is not even worthy of consideration, she’s just a burden.

I don’t care if they live or die.” Yin Shangwu didn’t bother speaking about people she didn’t care for.

She opened a can of food, sat next to Tang Zheng and asked, “Do you want me to feed you?”

“Get lost.” Tang Zheng cursed.

If it wasn’t for the less than ten percent chance of victory, he would have already taught this woman a lesson.

“You also have menopause, I always thought that was a woman’s patent!” Yin Shangwu seemed to enjoy provoking Tang Zheng.

Eating the fruit with a spoon, she said, “If that woman tries to escape, leave it to me.

Killing her would be a pity, after all, even waste has its uses.”

“Tell me about the Conquerors.” Tang Zheng took a deep breath, reminding himself that patience would avoid chaos.

Now was not the time for a confrontation.

Then he asked some questions about the Silver Trojan and the Survival Challenge Game.

He wasn’t a fool to let information just slip by.

“Hmph, useless tricks.

The only thing I can say is we’re lucky we didn’t encounter a team battle this time, otherwise the survival rate would be absolutely less than one in a thousand.” Yin Shangwu disliked this topic immensely and couldn’t help but frown.

However, knowing they would inevitably face it in the future, she still explained, “The first time I experienced team annihilation was when we were ambushed and surrounded by the Arctic Vodka Team and the American Hero Team.

That time, eight of our Conquerors died, five of whom had scored over thirty thousand points, one had scored over sixty thousand points, and twenty-four newbies were killed.

Only I and another Conqueror survived.”

“Was the one with sixty thousand points the team captain?” Tang Zheng took out a healing potion and cotton balls to clean his wounds.

He was very interested in this secret.

“Yes, like you, he was also the calculated and resourceful type.

We were about to defeat the Vodka Team when those Americans suddenly intervened, causing all our efforts to go in vain.” Yin Shangwu stated this with unusual calmness, but Tang Zheng could feel the anger in her eyes.

“What about the other Conqueror?

Is he dead?

I’m certain he isn’t from Zhang Hao’s group.” Tang Zheng still had some judgement.

“He left after scoring ten thousand points in the following two games.

The impact of that defeat was too much for him.” Yin Shangwu’s mouth curled into a mocking smile as she looked out at the heavy rain outside the window, snorting coldly, “A coward who’s scared out of his wits, there’s nothing worth mentioning.”

“What exactly is a team battle?”

“Two teams, or three, or even more, are teleported into the same game.

To complete the Silver Trojan’s mission, they inevitably have to fight each other.

These teams might consist of foreigners or nationals, but you can’t trust them.

Cooperation is even more impossible because here, there are only two outcomes, alive or dead.” Yin Shangwu glanced at Tang Zheng.

Seeing that he did not display any fear or panic, she was quite satisfied.

If this kid had shown even the slightest concern, Yin Shangwu would have sent him to his death immediately.

She had no need for cowards.

“Are team battles frequent?” What Tang Zheng cared about most was this.

After all, their team was weak.

He knew that he had worked really hard to kill a Conqueror that Yin Shangwu did not even consider worth her time.

“Quite frequent.

If the Silver Trojan is in a bad mood, maybe it sends out survival rate less than one in a thousand missions three times in a row.” Yin Shangwu put down the canned food, took out a healing potion from her pocket and tossed it to Tang Zheng, “Do you need help with dressing the wound?

This is a healing potion, it can heal your wounds quickly.

Speaking of which, how would a cautious person like you not buy healing items?”

“Not enough points.

By the way, with our current team formation, if we encounter a team battle in the next round, we are likely to be annihilated.” Tang Zheng sighed.

No matter what, he had to activate a new ability tonight.

He was running out of trump cards.

“Do you know why I hate Zhang Hao’s group so much?

Because in the last round, we were actually humiliated by those garbage from the Indian Shiva Team.

And they even had the audacity to gloat about their survival rate in front of you.

It’s disgusting.” Yin Shangwu’s face turned iron blue with anger, and she slammed the canned food on the ground,

“This is a woman with a strong sense of self-esteem.” Tang Zheng fell silent, his sense of crisis deepened.

The more he learned about this space, the more he understood Yin Shangwu’s feelings, “You’re not thinking about revenge, are you?”

“I’m not interested.” Yin Shangwu’s reply seemed reluctant.

Then she glanced at the radar and saw the triangle representing Zhang Yan leaving the building, she laughed, “Your toy has finally made up her mind.

But the result is somewhat unexpected.” (To be continued.
