Chapter 1502: Chapter 90: Mysterious Woman

The facility built underground at Central Park is the Biological Disaster Special Response Center, with every passage constructed of white metal walls. The only exception is the difference between length and width.

For those who don’t suffer from claustrophobia, staying for long would still feel oppressive, because one cannot determine the time, nor orient themselves, as if lost in a Rubik’s Cube.

As the temporary team’s progression speed increased, and the direction changed intermittently, the interception by the giant soldiers became sporadic, so most of the time, there were only hurried footsteps, each one seemingly hammering on one’s heart, making it very uncomfortable.

"How long have we been walking?" A certain woman, unable to bear the tense atmosphere, spoke up, her voice somewhat muffled as it passed through the gas mask.

Most of the conquerors kept silent, already confused, but a few with a good sense of direction and distance were calculating in their minds.

"Our current location is probably around 200 meters underground," said a tall and skinny conqueror confidently, but was immediately contradicted.

"It’s 182 meters, the direction of team advance is northwest, slanting down at thirty degrees," a tall woman suddenly spoke up, instantly attracting Tang Zheng and Dantai’s attention.

"You’re bluffing, how can you be so precise to the meter?" The tall one felt belittled and roared discontentedly, "I am an ability user of the space system."

Everyone’s gaze fell on the woman, curious to see how she would respond. The previous remark indeed seemed like a slap in the face, but if correct, it would be of great help to the team. After all, no one likes to feel lost, as it can cause significant psychological pressure.

The woman did not answer but continued to remain silent. Then, everyone noticed that she was actually apart from the group, occupying one-third of it, without any companion by her side.

"When did she catch up? Did you notice?" Dantai exchanged information with Tang Zheng through the team’s internal communication.

"No, I didn’t notice; she seemed to just appear out of nowhere," Tang Zheng frowned, not keeping his eyes on the woman. If she hadn’t spoken up, he wouldn’t have even realized she was there, which was odd, because he remembered the identities of those who had entered before, "Could I have forgotten her? Right, she was among those who warned us about the air problem earlier."

"It’s also possible that she used her ability to block our observation of her," Dantai’s voice dropped again, "I saw her glance at you just now, she seems quite interested in you."

"Don’t talk nonsense," Tang Zheng denied verbally, but his heart skipped a beat. He had also caught that fleeting glimpse she directed at him, but couldn’t be certain because of the gas mask.

"Jokes aside, don’t you think her voice sounds familiar? And her appearance seems familiar as well?" Dantai’s observation was meticulous, just unable to pin it down.

"Appearance?" Tang Zheng’s gaze swept over the woman, landing on her slender neck, then the chest area, sliding down to her waist, and then to those legs encased in the tight suit.

"Not very familiar, I think?" Tang Zheng couldn’t recall.

Perhaps noticing Tang Zheng’s gaze, the woman turned her head sharply and glared at him fiercely, then turned her head away.

"Why are you silent now? I’m asking you, what proof do you have to back up your claim?" The tall and skinny one was relentless, the woman’s silence made him believe she had been silenced.

"Hey, look at her protective clothing, it’s not listed on the Trojan List, it seems to be a unique prop!" A conqueror casually scanned the woman, trying to check her equipment, only to discover unknown data, exclaiming in surprise.

Whispers among the conquerors gradually grew louder, and their curious gazes were repeatedly cast onto the woman.

The woman was dressed in a red and blue colored tight protective suit, enveloping her body tightly without exposing any flesh, but this instead gave her an alternative kind of sexiness.

Her ample chest, protruding buttocks, as well as her slender waist, and long beautiful legs when moved subtly, exuded an elite demeanor.

As she ran, her long black hair cascaded, making her seem like a ferocious beast on the run, and most men couldn’t help but swallow, conquered by the hormones she emitted.

Several group leaders including Tang Zheng felt a chill, every movement of this woman was reduced to its essence. Every step taken, every lift of her arm, down to the frequency of her breathing, was precise, a sign of energy control brought to the limit, a skill that would utterly surpass ninety percent of people.

Dantai could achieve this, but certainly not for such an extended period. Judging by the woman’s demeanor, she has clearly been through countless battles, ingraining this habit into her body’s instincts.

Even the tall and skinny was not blind to this, and wisely shut his mouth; if a fight were to occur, he bet she could kill him in seconds without breaking a sweat.

"Lady, may I ask your name, have all your group members died? If you don’t mind, shall we team up?" A man couldn’t help being gallant.

The elite woman simply ignored him, not even giving him a passing glance from the corner of her eye.

The man who spoke felt a loss of face. After all, he had fought his way out of life and death; how could he tolerate someone showing off in front of him?

"Please be aware, team battles will result in a deduction of points?" Dantai interjected, warning the man before turning towards the elite woman, "With that attitude, you’ll end up isolated."

"So what if I’m isolated? You’re all going to die anyway!"

"The boss lady’s words immediately made the Conquerors blow their tops—they instinctively stopped in their tracks, turning their attention towards her.

’What? Got a hearing problem? Let me repeat it then, you all are going to die in this BOSS fight.’ The boss lady was truly launching verbal map cannons.

Fuelled with rage, everyone understood that she wasn’t just posturing—she was genuinely arrogant, disdaining to associate with these people.

’If we’re so trash, why don’t you leave?’ The tough guy couldn’t stand it and questioned the boss lady.

The boss lady didn’t answer but glanced at Tang Zheng instead, not bothering to conceal it, so everyone followed her gaze towards him.

’Tang Team, is she your old flame?’ Warcraft bro teased, also showing off his relationship with Tang Zheng and warning others not to mess with his boss.

’Do I know you?’ Although his vision was obscured by the gas mask, Tang Zheng always felt those eyes were familiar. But right after asking, he cursed himself for being an idiot—this was not how a Group Leader should behave.

’Hmph.’ The woman snorted coldly, turned her head, and ignored Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, indicating he was clueless.

’Making trouble out of nothing.’ Fu Tianxiao cursed under his breath; she considered Tang Zheng her possession and naturally had no good temper towards a strange woman also trying to lay her hands on him.

’Enough talk, let’s move.’ Dantai clapped his hands to shift the subject.

Footsteps echoed once again, yet the Conquerors were still somewhat preoccupied, speculating about the woman’s strength and identity.

’Tang Zheng, you can call me Queen Q!’ The boss lady suddenly spoke up again, her words directed at Tang Zheng. Her tone was cold, yet a trace of concern could still be heard.

’So you two are really unrelated?’ Wei Binbai patted Tang Zheng’s back, ’Come on, spill it. Is she an old lover you messed around with?’

Qin Yan didn’t turn her head but perked up her ears, wanting to hear Tang Zheng’s response. She kept telling herself not to think about this man anymore, but she couldn’t help it.

’No, really!’ Tang Zheng’s mouth twitched, at a loss for words.

Dantai and the others didn’t notice that Queen Q’s gaze lingered on Qin Yan and Tang Zheng, as she let out an imperceptible sigh.

The interlude was quickly interrupted by a group of Giant Soldiers that suddenly jumped out. The Conquerors tried to make contact with Vasily and Bingxu, only to find the communications jammed. However, no one panicked; such troubles were anticipated.

’Defense Type, split into two teams; Long-range Faction, you can start using your abilities now.’ Dantai took over command for Tang Zheng, as this task was quite energy-draining.

The Corpses of the Giant Soldiers lay all over the ground, mangled beyond recognition, with splatters of Broken Flesh and blood all over the Walls. As the Conquerors stepped over them, the Corpses suddenly wriggled, catapulting themselves and sticking to their bodies before exploding.

Boom, boom! The Mitochondria released the stored energy from the cells, the intensity was great, and after the explosion, a Green Flame burned on, impossible to extinguish once stuck to the body.

Tang Zheng had the fastest reaction, deploying a Gravity Barrier that kept the Broken Flesh away from his body, but others weren’t so lucky.

Some Conquerors screamed, calling for the Healing System to perform Healing Magic.

’Don’t panic, leave this place first.’ Trying to stabilize the situation, Dantai had not yet reached the level of generosity to let Gu Xueqi heal others, so he didn’t even mention it.

After rushing into another Metal Passage a hundred meters long, halfway through, the Ceiling suddenly opened and shot down Light Beams.

’Shields up!’ The cries of the Group Leaders rang out one after another. Those following were all Hero Level and reacted quickly. The Shield sprung up, blocking the attack.

’The Light Beam lasts this long? If it were those of lower levels, they’d be long dead.’ Wei Xiangnan watched the unceasing slicing Light Beam, sparking against the Shield, feeling relieved.

’Don’t be too happy just yet, it’s not over.’ Kevo pointed ahead.

Both sides of the Metal Walls showed gun ports from which lasers shot out, forming a dense fishing net-like Barrier, slashing across the entire Passage at lightning speed.

’Pull back first!’ Warcraft bro bellowed. In an instant, over two hundred laser nets shot out, dense and endless. Even Shields have their Limits. Group Leaders might be fine, but the lower levels’ Shields couldn’t handle it.

Whoosh, whoosh! The first hundred beams instantly struck the front Conquerors’ Shields and continued to push forward.

Bang, bang! Two Gates dropped, blocking both exits of the Passage, trapping the Conquerors completely.

Some lower-level Conquerors yelled out, falling into a panicked state.

’Defense Type activate your abilities, others blast the shooting holes in the Walls.’ Tang Zheng fired his Armature, shooting out intense Light Beams, directly melting the Metal Wall, destroying the gun ports, and disrupting the laser net.
