Chapter 1329: Chapter 7: Hotel Massacre (3 updates)

The skin of the alien species was hard; after being chopped and flipped to the ground, it dared not provoke Pang Meiqin and pounced on the newbies instead.

The newbies, already frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster, scrambled backwards, but there were always a few unlucky ones with bad luck.

The alien species lunged into the crowd, and with a swing of its sturdy tail, knocked over two newbies who couldn’t dodge in time. Fortunately, they were wearing primary protective clothing and didn’t die; however, the man who got hit in the head by the alien species’ claws wasn’t so lucky—half of his cheek collapsed, and his eyeball fell out.

The large mouth of the alien species opened and swallowed him whole.

With a sizzle, the Queen roared and shot out five black energy spheres, blowing up the alien species.

"The first stage mission has started; regardless of the species, please kill thirty alien species within twenty-four hours!"

Trojan Horse announced the mission, but besides that, no more information was provided.

"What should we do? I think there might still be alien species in this hotel; let’s sweep through it!" Sha Ou actively spoke up, trying to integrate into the core position.

"According to the temperament of the Trojan Horse, it’s likely a ploy, and we’ll end up finding nothing," Gu Xueqi wasn’t so optimistic.

"Then what do you suggest?" Sha Ou retorted.

"We should first figure out what exactly the alien species are. From the Trojan’s tone, it seems there are many types. We should choose the weakest ones to kill," Gu Xiaohua wasn’t intimidated.

The newbies couldn’t discuss anymore, looking at the undigested newbie covered in slime flowing out from the belly of the killed alien species; they all trembled with fright.

Only death would make these newbies realize the reality and obey orders.

"Divide into three groups, each taking some newbies, and clear the rooms layer by layer," Tang Zheng pointed to the somewhat broken computer, "Qing Shuang, can you bring up the list of guest rooms? No problems, right?"

"OK!" Shen Qingshuang was teary-eyed, finally having a chance to exert her efforts.

"Split into three teams and move with us," Tang Zheng shouted to the newbies, "Get moving, if you can’t divide properly in one minute, get lost."

"You siblings, grandparents, Li Huiwen, follow me!" Tang Zheng knew that if he assigned the sanitation worker to another team, he would likely die.

"Group Leader, taking him will slow us down," Sha Ou pointed at the sanitation worker; the little girl wasn’t happy and glared at him.

"Brother Sha, take me with you!" The private room princess clung to Sha Ou’s arm coquettishly, her sisters familiar to her standing behind.

"Don’t mess things up for me!" Sha Ou seemed to care about the princess, but in reality, he considered her a meat shield and bait, definitely to be abandoned at a critical moment.

"Humph, silly man!" The princess smiled charmingly, secretly deriding him. Her eyes barely perceptibly swept over Tang Zheng. Given a choice, she would certainly prefer to accompany the handsome young man, but she knew her own capital, and adopting such a posture would even cause her to lose Sha Ou’s backing.

"Brother Sha, rest assured, you won’t be busy for nothing. Once we’re safe, we few will accompany you!" The private room princess whispered deliberately into Sha Ou’s ear to please him.

"Here it is!" Shen Qingshuang sent the list of occupied guest rooms to every Conqueror’s wristwatch.

"Let’s go; we take floors one through seven. Remember to call out if you encounter danger," Tang Zheng waved his hand, "Old Xu, pick a few more newbies."

Xu Liangmao, listless, shook his head refusing.

"Stupid, this is Tang Zheng giving you a chance to deal with those you dislike!" the Old Soldier poked Old Xu’s ribs, sighing that the honest man was beyond hope.

Qin Yan had already led the team away. The pockmarked face was very cunning and also liked the buttocks of mature women, so he volunteered to follow up. Most men chose to accompany them, subconsciously believing that women were weaker and less dangerous.

Tang Zheng’s team swelled to over fifty people, with most women still choosing to follow the Group Leader. He didn’t bother to fuss, and handed guns to the scar-faced man and a tall skinny guy, letting them lead the way. Both individuals had been involved with Li Huiwen, so naturally, he sent them off to die first.

"Why me?" The tall skinny man hadn’t grasped the situation yet and was dissatisfied.

Tang Zheng’s response was simple; a slap knocked out three of his teeth.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll break your legs and feed them to the alien species," Old Xu’s experience, and Tang Zheng’s mood left no time for nonsense with newbies, vigorously enforcing submission through violence.

The air was filled with an intense oppressive feeling, and the newbies, who initially had a good impression of Tang Zheng, had changed their views.

"Go!" Tang Zheng, using a silenced handgun, broke the door and sent two newbies rushing in.

"What if we kill innocent people?" The scar-faced man was very concerned.

"I told you to shoot, now shoot again!" Tang Zheng, with his left hand holding a tranquilizer gun, charged into the bedroom and fired at the guest on the bed.

The man convulsed once but didn’t wake up.

"Move, next one!" Tang Zheng switched rooms decisively, Sha Ou dragging the scar-faced man and the tall skinny man to block the front.

For twelve consecutive guest rooms, nothing happened, which relieved the newbies but also made them worry about not killing enough alien species.

Tang Zheng had already prepared mentally; in the hotel with hundreds of rooms, finding ten would be good enough, as could be deduced from the number given by the Trojan Horse.

As usual, Tang Zheng fired a shot, to no avail, turned to leave, but the man on the bed suddenly sprang up, monkey-like, and lunged at the scar-faced man who was last.

This guy reacted quickly, not turning around to fire, but instead lunged forwards sharply. The tall, skinny one was rather dumb, idiotically turning his head to see what it was.

The Ape Star Creature screamed, leapt onto him, swung its right hand, and with a snap sound, broke his neck. His head was twisted to a ninety-degree angle before it immediately pounced towards Sha Ou.

"Get away!" Sha Ou unleashed telekinesis, and the Ape Star Creature was hit by an airborne hammer and slammed into the wall.

Tang Zheng and the Old Soldier fired, and the Shooting series team member Lin Jing also reacted quickly, blasting this creature into mush that stuck to the wall like an impressionist painting.

The newbies trembled.

"Keep moving!" Tang Zheng grabbed a woman by the collar and dragged her out, "Anyone slow on the next floor will be made the vanguard."

This caused a pile-up and an argument ensued.

There weren’t any Alien Species on the entire second floor, a sense of irritation began to spread, halfway through the third floor, as Tang Zheng was breaking down a door, he saw a woman lying on a sofa facing him, with a man behind her energetically plowing away, moans unceasing.

Tang Zheng raised his gun, and the woman was shot in the thigh. She didn’t faint; instead, she became enraged, hissing like a lizard, with her thin pointed tongue trembling non-stop, and disgusting scales appeared on her skin.

The man, seeing his One Night Stand transform, shrank away in terror.

Lin Fachan and another person opened fire. The Lizard Woman turned invisible and vanished into thin air; the bullets killed the unfortunate man.

"Be careful, get out of the room!" Tang Zheng couldn’t see the Lizard Woman and it was too crowded to discern her location by sound.

"On the ceiling!" A current of air moved above them, and Tang Zheng fired rapidly, shattering the ceiling, but unfortunately missed.

A woman at the back of the group was suddenly dismembered, her body scattered across the floor, nearly driving all the newbies insane.

There was an automatic fire sprinkler on the ceiling that if damaged, could reveal the Lizard Woman using the flow of water. However, doing so would alarm all the hotel’s guests.

Tang Zheng hesitated and another newbie was killed. The Lizard Woman was fierce, its sharp claws capable of slicing through metal, impervious even to Protective Clothing.

"Think of something quick!" the women screamed.

Suddenly, a rapid alarm bell rang inside the hotel, and the sprinkler systems activated. Qin Yan’s team also encountered a Lizard Woman and decisively adopted a tactic.

The cold water poured down from the shower, drenching the survivors thoroughly but also revealing the silhouette of the Lizard Woman.

Although still unmaterialized, the unnatural flow of the clean water could be seen.

The muzzles followed the Lizard Woman’s contours; as Tang Zheng opened fire, it was hit, dropped its enemy, and made a swift retreat.

Sha Ou was about to release telekinesis to pull it back, but Tang Zheng had already pounced out, wielding the Storm Hammer ferociously in mid-air, splashing blood everywhere, and rolling the Lizard Woman out of invisibility.

Conqueror firepower took it down, Lizard Alien Species typically had moderate strength, but their ability to turn invisible was particularly infuriating, making them difficult to guard against.

"What now?" With the alarm sounding, they definitely couldn’t continue "sweeping." Sha Ou felt their team’s luck was running low.

"Attention everyone, we have to evacuate within one minute. Don’t linger!" Firefighters would probably arrive soon, and Tang Zheng didn’t want to lose his footing in the city so soon.

About a dozen guests rushed out of their rooms, and Sha Ou opened fire, killing them.

Old Soldier frowned, noticing Sha Ou’s increasing bloodlust.

Fifty meters from the hotel on Main Street, everyone regrouped.

"Where’s Tang Zheng?" Pang Meiqin didn’t see the Group Leader and felt dejected, "Why did we let him act alone?"

"He minimizes exposure!" explained Old Soldier. "Let’s find a place to settle down first, then contact him."

Tang Zheng hid in a building opposite the hotel, curious to see how they would handle the Alien Species corpses.

Half an hour later, two men in Black Suits and sunglasses appeared, conversing with the surrounding citizens and then pulled out a metal rod.

Tang Zheng immediately closed his eyes; a few seconds later, he opened them, and the crowd had dispersed as if nothing had happened. A truck carried away all the corpses.

"The trouble seems no small matter!" Tang Zheng recalled a Film he had seen with a similar scene.

"You operate on your own; I need to follow this target!" after informing his team, Tang Zheng pulled out a car and trailed behind the men in black.

"There’s a Chinese Restaurant nearby, let’s settle there for now!" Lin Weiguo led the team; with such a large group standing in the street, they had already attracted quite an audience.

"Welcome!" The restaurant’s waitress was tall, dressed in a cheongsam, her hair in a bun, hands tucked in her sleeves, bowing slightly.

"Nice ambiance!" Brother Sha smacked his lips, with murals of Dragons on the walls and dining ware filled with Chinese characteristics.

"We’ve booked the whole restaurant!" Lin Weiguo didn’t want any disturbances, pondering whether to take them hostage.

"What would you like to eat?" The waitress smiled warmly, friendly enough that Old Soldier hesitated, deciding to eat first before taking any action. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to recommend votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
