Chapter 1494: Chapter 82: The Battle at the Opera House

"Where are you?" came the tough guy’s voice from the communicator, sounding impatient. He had been outsmarted by Fatty before and was very eager to kill him.

"We’re in the theater, on the second floor." Wang Jin replied, his expression so dark as he looked at the only remaining pathetic group member that it seemed like he could drip water, he could already imagine the kind of ridicule he’d face when meeting the others.

"Where’s Fatty?" The tough guy didn’t care about these people’s life and death.

"Don’t know, but the one chasing us isn’t Fatty. Be careful, his ability is very strange." The group member panted heavily, almost scared out of his wits.

"Describe in detail the process of the attack." The group member didn’t have any suspicions and hurriedly started explaining. Wang Jin wanted to stop him but hesitated for a moment and ultimately remained silent.

"Understood. It seems the enemy can use some means to transfer the attacks aimed at him." Dantai asked for further details about the death of the four group members and made a judgment, "In any case, be careful of that thick phlegm, don’t get it on you."

"We’ve already got it on us, what do we do now?" The group member panicked, completely losing the composure of a Level 1 Hero Conqueror.

"Don’t worry, I’ll have Xueqi purify you guys in a bit." After comforting them, Dantai ended the communication.

Tang Zheng knocked on the door of a makeup room, reportedly where the female singer was resting that evening.

"She’s resting. If you want an autograph, please come back after the performance!" The female assistant opened the door and saw a bunch of strangers, her attitude not at all friendly.

"Don’t people usually leave after a performance? Where should we go to get an autograph then?" Lu Fan wasn’t interested in autographs; he just felt the assistant was lying. As a little princess from a wealthy family, Lu Fan had seen too many celebrities and was all too familiar with that kind of rhetoric.

Tang Zheng didn’t bother with her and directly went inside.

"If you keep this up, I’m going to call security." The female assistant tried to stop him, but she was grabbed by the neck by Pang Meiqin and pushed against the wall.

The female singer, wearing underwear and changing clothes, was startled when she saw Tang Zheng coming in and quickly covered her chest with her clothes.

"Sorry to disturb!" Tang Zheng turned and left, but a gravity bomb, invisible to the naked eye, grazed her cheek as it shot past, probing her reaction.

The female singer trembled with fright, but otherwise showed no reaction.

After Tang Zheng came out, Pang Meiqin pushed the female assistant away and closed the door behind her as she left.

"Go check those private rooms." Tang Zheng had no better ideas and could only search laboriously. Indeed, he had considered killing key figures, which would surely hit some target by blind luck, but such a method was too cruel for him to bear.

Dantai thought of this too, but he knew Tang Zheng’s character well and therefore never brought it up.

"Tang Group Leader, we’ve been attacked."

Within the ten or so minutes that Tang Zheng was heading toward the performance hall, reports had come in succession from two group leaders; they had been attacked by a man, resulting in three group members dead.

"It seems that the guy is definitely Fatty, not only capable of transferring attacks but also possessing super-strong defenses; even 3S weapons barely inflict any damage on him." As intelligence continued to be relayed back, Dantai gained more understanding of Fatty.

"Conquerors are not fat, so that body fat of his is probably some kind of ability." Licking a lollipop, Lu Fan held Tang Zheng’s hand and looked around curiously.

The fight was contained within a small range and hadn’t reached them, so the audience was utterly unaware. Moreover, with the performance about to start, they were all hurrying back to their seats, ending their conversations.

With the ringing of a bell, the entire theater fell silent. The already dim yellow lights went out, plunging it into complete darkness.

Several exclamations arose from the theater, but they quickly subsided, and everyone’s attention was fixed on the pitch-dark stands.

About a minute later, a serene voice sounded, fresh and elegant, as if it were the natural world after the rain, with the clarity of torrential spring water gushing from a mountain stream.

The soprano voice soared straight up as if flying high into the clouds, sustaining for half a minute before descending...

Snap, a beam of light came on the stage, revealing the female singer standing there. Her long hair was pinned up, and she wore a pristine white robe, looking like a pure clergy member.

"This seems like a hymn, about Jesus, right?" Xu Biyun had heard similar pieces before, all used in churches.

Shh, Ruan Feifei made a silencing gesture; the singing was so exquisite that it was no wonder she could perform on the Met stage.

For a full ten minutes, the singing didn’t stop. Inside the theater, there was a hushed silence, the audience not daring to even breathe heavily, fearing they might disrupt the heart-stirring atmosphere.

"How did she train her lung capacity; that’s epic." Sha Ou didn’t have a musical bone in his body and didn’t want to listen to this, looking around distractedly.

Fatty took advantage of the fact that everyone’s attention was captured and quietly approached Warcraft Bro’s team. Just as he was about to launch a sneak attack, a nearby audience member suddenly combusted, bursting into blue flames.

The surrounding audience panicked, standing up to flee, but the next second, more than a dozen others spontaneously combusted, and those remaining clasped their heads in agony, moaning, and then transformed.

"There’s a problem, this guy is a mitochondrion!" Yu Deye shouted and drew his gun to shoot angrily.

But when the bullets reached the female singer, a semi-transparent shield popped up and blocked them, and all the survivors opened fire to no avail.

"Go, kill her!" Tang Zheng rushed towards the stage, hating himself for not having killed her just moments ago.

The body of the female singer floated up, her voice became higher and higher, sharper, like a dolphin’s sound, shattering the glass of the opera house.

The audience was frightened by the self-combustion and mutated anomalies, screaming and fleeing, but those who left their seats only took a few steps before meeting the same fate.

In the dimly lit opera house, those self-combusting humans, like torches, heralded the conquest of the mitochondria!

Directed by the singing, the mutated creatures began to attack the unmutated humans, and the opera house lobby instantly became a death slaughterhouse.

"Get lost!" Tang Zheng swung his arm with a single hand, sweeping away with gravity, sending the mutated creatures rushing from the right flying, knocking over a group of them.

Pang Meiqin followed him, taking out the Ferocious Bird’s lament, aimed the muzzle towards the passageway, and swept through it with a direct shot.

Sizzle, sizzle, the blue-white energy flow howled out, directly vaporizing the oncoming mutated creatures, and with each beam shot, the surroundings flashed and were exposed in detail.

The Conquerors opened fire with full firepower, fiercely attacking the female singer. As for those mutated creatures, they couldn’t come close to stopping their advance.

"Fuck, I was sneak attacked by that guy." Warcraft Brother shouted, rarely enraged, fighting together with Fatty.

Wave after wave of Psychic Storm impacted the female singer, but unfortunately, it was offset by her singing. Instead, her screams began to make everyone dizzy.

Under the catalyst of the singing, the mutants evolved again, turning into more powerful Monsters, comparable to normal third-order ones, and this time, they began to pose some threat to the Conquerors.

"Xin Lan, take care of yourselves, don’t join the battle!" Tang Zheng pulled out the Undamaged Lake Light and, after beheading a mutated creature, pounced towards the female singer.

Facing the oncoming mutated creatures, Li Xinlan stretched out her right hand, boom, a large amount of Ice Layer surged, instantly engulfing the mutants and freezing them into ice sculptures.

The young woman held the gun in one hand and shot, the ice broke apart, scattering on the ground.

Tang Zheng leaped up, the Undamaged Lake Light penetrated the female singer’s shield, slicing down as sparks flew everywhere.

Queen Mu, as usual, began with the Northern Wind Ring. She had her ultimate ability, but she wouldn’t use it lightly because she would become extremely weak after using it.

The machinized tough man fired angrily at the female singer, the Psychic Bullets swallowed it instantly, Yue Jing’s Infinite Projection was launched, and he joined the fight.

Li Zheng stood at a distance, spheres emerged behind him, three eyes opened, Purification, Burning, Gravity, three beams of light swept across, and any mutated creatures they touched directly perished.

This time, the Group Leaders were not holding back, unleashing full firepower, for Tang Zheng had said that the battle would be recorded and announced to all Trojan Squad members. If anyone slacked off, they would definitely become detested by the others, with no place to stand.

Wei Binbai threw out a Seed, which immediately took root on the stage, forming Vines that whipped at the female singer. Occasionally, a mutated creature that didn’t know any better would get close and be entangled, sucked dry like a blood-sucking leech, turning into a mummified state.

"Dong Zixuan, can you stop randomly using your ultimate ability?" Xu Biyun, relying on puppets to block the mutated creatures, saw the policewoman start her wild attacks again and couldn’t help but complain, "This is too wasteful."

Streams of red magma erupted, then fell, burning everything around them.

"Damn it, I’m done playing, bogged down with you!" Through the Communicator, it was the crazy roar of Warcraft Brother, as Fatty brazenly killed two Group Members in front of him, heavily damaging Yu Ping, and infuriating him.

Fatty decisively retreated, unbelievably fast.

"Don’t chase, go kill the female singer, those below third-order, go meet up with Xin Lan and the others." Warcraft Brother was almost furious to death, but he knew what he should do.

Dantai was responsible for commanding, maximizing everyone’s role, thus keeping the battle in a Stalemate Stage. However, the expressions on the Group Leaders’ faces were not good, seeing that the female singer was still in human form, it was known that she had not exerted her strength yet. According to past experience, only when she changed into the appearance of a Monster would she be using full firepower.

"Be careful, let’s wear her down a bit first, and see what kind of attacks this guy has!" Dantai had just finished speaking when the female singer began to show her power.

As she opened her mouth to scream, dozens of fist-sized Light Spheres appeared out of thin air around her body, then scattered.

The Conquerors activated their Shields, but even S-grade ones were easily penetrated, this creature was undoubtedly the strongest Monster they had encountered so far.

Iron-hearted Fatty wanted to play harassment warfare, and quietly sneaked back, suddenly broke through the second-floor ceiling, jumped down, and fiercely struck Gu Xueqi, who had just released a Flame Phoenix, evidently a healer, needed to be killed first.

"Be careful!" Ai Yixin transformed into diamonds, rushing in front of Gu Xueqi, but she simply couldn’t block the second-order Fatty.

Bang, a heavy punch from Fatty hit the housewife’s chest, the diamond Armor shattered, revealing white skin, and then like a Cannon Shell, she smashed into the ground.

Gu Xueqi fired Phoenixes with both hands, healing Ai Yixin, and blocking Fatty, but the Phoenixes were smashed directly, and Fatty closed in. (To be continued.
