Chapter 137 - 137 40 Toys and Friendship

137: Chapter 40: Toys and Friendship 137: Chapter 40: Toys and Friendship “When enemies meet, the braver one wins, at this moment, whoever chickens out will most definitely be defeated swiftly.”

Tang Zheng sprinted at an increasing speed, serving as the arrowhead, he broke into the enemy’s formation, directed his attack towards the female voice that seemed to be their captain, and tossed a bomb to disrupt their formation.

“Kill, Kill, Kill, there are only three females and two males on the other side.

What are we afraid of?” A man on the opposing side bellowed, boosting morale.

Tang Zheng chuckled.

It was a good sign.

That man had no choice but to shout.

It was apparent on the radar screen that five of the opponents had slowed down, clearly observing the situation.

“These players must have formed a small team for various reasons.

Moreover, they’ve only been together for a few days; their relationship is definitely not solid.

It would be good if they could just trust each other.

As long as we kill their captain and intimidate them by killing a few more players, we’ve definitely got it.” Yin Shangwu had this thought turning in her mind, her eyes immediately roaming around for targets.

However, she suddenly noticed Tang Zheng had already taken one step ahead according to her thoughts, which was quite disheartening.

That guy was always one step ahead of her.

“Weiguo, sister Xin Lan, restrain your opponents and move towards me, leave the rest to me and Shang Wu.” Tang Zheng no longer cared about exposing his strategic intentions, loudly directing the actions of everyone.

He had no choice; fighting individually might win, but it would be too strenuous and dangerous.

A man, sneering, lunged at Yin Shangwu, probably feeling that a woman is easier to bully.

Furthermore, her beautiful appearance made him want to capture her alive.

However, the moment he got close, he found his vision blurred and lost sight of her.

Then, he felt the cold sensation of a blade on his neck, and in the blink of an eye, he observed his decapitated body falling to the ground, with crimson blood spraying all over the surrounding leaves like a fountain.

“Tough…

don’t leave them….

alive.” Another man following behind was frightened by Yin Shangwu’s ruthlessness and shouted instinctively.

But before he could finish speaking, he saw the beautiful woman violently swing the Tang Sword, unleashing a crescent-shaped white blade light.

With a splatter sound, this unlucky ghost’s body was directly cleaved in half, with viscera and blood staining the ground.

“Yin Shangwu, you’re being too brutal.

What will we do if you scare them away?

Go help Li Xinlan quickly.” Tang Zheng still had time to observe the battle, but this sentence undoubtedly aggravated the five who were attacking him.

“You really look down on us.” Along with these words, six bombs were tossed towards Tang Zheng, covering the sky and earth, without any dead corners.

They also recognized that the youngster was the captain, so the encircling attackers were particularly numerous and ruthless, insisting on a sure kill to end things.

Tang Zheng instantly activated the Furious Queen, selected Gravity Control, and then the five of them saw all the bombs that were about to approach him strangely shot outward and exploded in mid-air.

“Go to hell.” Tang Zheng gripped the Bronze Sword and pounced on the closest white-shirted man.

This guy tried to dodge but felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Even moving half a step took a lot of energy.

Before he could figure out what was happening, Tang Zheng brushed past him, beheading him.

Without stopping, Tang Zheng performed a forward somersault, crossing a distance of five meters to another player.

In the stunned gaze of his opponent, he swung the Bronze Sword, the dark green blade instantly slashing through the neck.

Sizzling, blood gushed out like a burst water pipe, causing a large burst of blood dance.

“It really is light as a swallow.” His body felt like all gravity constraints were lost.

This feeling was absolutely fantastic; Tang Zheng was very grateful that he did not enhance neural response speed, otherwise it would have been somewhat of a waste of points.

This ability could indirectly improve his agility.

Tang Zheng threw a bomb to impede the opponent’s movement.

As long as they enter a range of five meters, he could limit their speed, it was like setting a gravity shackle on them.

Suddenly encountering a greater gravity when one has adapted to the Earth’s gravity, you can imagine what would happen.

“Third person.” When he thrust the Bronze Sword into the back of an unfortunate ghost, these people finally collapsed, no longer caring about their allies, they began to flee individually.

Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan’s pressure dropped sharply, immediately seizing the opportunity, they began their counterattacks.

“Break up and fight, the more we can kill, the better.” Tang Zheng buried his head in a mad chase after the captain, feeling as if he had seen that woman somewhere before.

She showed no fear, even occasionally throwing bombs in retaliation.

She entirely displayed the posture of a strong woman, in addition, she would frequently encourage the man and woman following behind her, telling them not to give up hope.

“This woman is pretty persuasive.” Tang Zheng’s gaze fell on the woman, she dressed in dark colored office lady uniform, black stockings, and black sneakers…

Tang Zheng remembered, just before dropping from the aircraft, she had questioned the organizers about the game being unfair to women, and she was mocked a lot.

“But I think she was wearing high heels at that time?

It seems the sneakers are her spoils of war.” Tang Zheng admired her, a white-collar woman who was able to integrate an eleven-person small team.

At least it proved her leadership skills and eloquence were quite good.

“Let’s leave her alone, there’s no need to waste energy.” After chasing for nearly seventy meters, Tang Zheng began to slack.

He had to be on guard against Yin Shangwu.

This battle was enough for her to collect sixteen Totem Seals…

“You guys run.” Suddenly, the white-collar woman fell and lay on the ground.

Her companions wanted to help her up, but she stopped them, “run whoever can.”

After finishing speaking, she took out a bomb, glared at Tang Zheng, preparing for a fight to the death.

“Come on, let’s perish together.” The white-collar woman became hysterical because today’s failure greatly hit her confidence.

Watching as those people died because of her wrong judgement, she nearly collapsed.

The most crucial point was that she was about to get her two good friends killed.

“We live or die together!” One man and one woman did not obey her command to leave, but rather, had an expression of determination looking at Tang Zheng, they also positioned themselves in front of the white-collar woman.

“What’s going on?

They make me seem like the villain.” Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, making a joke.

But the murderous intentions in his heart reduced a lot.

The young man glanced at the white-collar woman, then tried to rush at Tang Zheng, but was grabbed by the woman in a suspender shirt standing beside him.

“Don’t be impulsive.

Wait for the right moment.”

“If my companion arrives, you won’t get any opportunity.” Tang Zheng mocked, curious to see what these three were up to.

“You’re too self-confident.

Aren’t you afraid they’ll run off with the spoils of war?

I think your totem seals must be almost complete, after all, it’s the ultimate test of human nature when you have a chance to get the last one.” The woman in the suspender shirt taunted, attempting to undermine Tang Zheng.

“You choose one to die, I’ll let the other two go.” Tang Zheng remained unfazed, putting forward a harsher offer.

“You think you’re guaranteed to win?” The man could not bear to be given charity.

“You can try.” Seeing Tang Zheng’s confident smile, the three fell silent.

“Don’t believe him, he just wants to pick us off one by one.

On this Death Island, no one can be trusted.” The white-collar woman scoffed, stood up and lunged, “If we die, we die together.”

The other two exchanged glances, drew their folding knives, and attacked Tang Zheng, refusing to stand idle and wait for death.

“This is why I have to fight.” Engaging in combat with the bronze sword gave Tang Zheng a clear advantage, and their reluctance to risk hurting their own held them back from reckless bomb throwing.

Within one minute, the woman in the suspender shirt was kicked away by Tang Zheng and was about to be stabbed.

The white-collar woman, gripped two bombs and lunged without hesitation.

The young man did the same, and the woman on the ground, her eyes burning, pulled off her white waist bag, instantly detonated an impact bomb.

“Don’t come over, survive,” The woman in the suspender shirt didn’t want her friends to die for her.

“A bunch of madmen.” Tang Zheng kicked away the waist bag from the woman’s hand, then placed the bronze sword at her throat and shouted, “Stop.”

Seeing Tang Zheng’s hostage indeed got the desired effect, the white-collar woman and the young man’s faces fell with disappointment and anxiety.

“As I said, we’ll die together,” growled the young man, ready to pounce.

“Can you tell me, what is your relationship?” Tang Zheng was curious.

He had never seen someone willing to die for others.

“From kindergarten to university to work, friends for twenty-six years, seven months, and eight days,” The white-collar woman stated matter-of-factly as if it was no big deal.

“And seven hours.” The young man checked his watch and laughed.

His regular looking face became startlingly striking with that smile.

Tang Zheng was moved, the word ‘friend’ made him deeply melancholic.

He could tell that these three were not lying.

“Answer one question and you can leave.” Tang Zheng took a deep breath, gazed at them, and asked, “Have you seen the flight attendant in this photo?”

Tang Zheng pulled out his phone, selected the group photo taken at the Los Angeles Oasis Hotel, and asked the woman in the suspender shirt to identify them.

“I’ve seen these two.” The woman in the suspender shirt pointed at Bai Guo and Qin Yan.

“I tried to recruit them three days ago, but they rejected me.

They were probably headed east on Death Island.”

Tang Zheng looked into the woman’s eyes.

Seeing no sign of hesitation or doubt, he nodded.

He had intended to find a reason to let them go; he didn’t want their invaluable friendship to end at his hands.

However, he hadn’t expected to get an unexpected answer.

“Alright, you can leave.” Tang Zheng released the woman, slowly backed away, then swiftly disappeared into the dense forest.

“He’s an idiot, right?

With such an advantageous situation, he leaves without a word?” The woman in the suspender shirt touched her bloody neck, her face filled with confusion.

“I don’t know.” The young man shook his head and sighed in relief.

There was no denying the overwhelming pressure Tang Zheng applied; up until the last moment, he was ready to die.

“Just a struggling toy longing for the light of friendship in humanity, how laughable.” A voice suddenly came from the dense forest, causing the three of them to jump with fright.

“It’s you!” The white-collar woman turned to the sound defensively, ready to fight.
