Chapter 1503: Chapter 91 Death Trap

The crisis was not over, the laser net disappeared, but the ceiling suddenly turned into metallic columns split into cubes like a pile driver, slamming down fiercely.

Boom, boom, it was as if a forest of metal guns was shaking, the coppery clang trembling one’s eardrums and making teeth feel sore.

The Conquerors hurriedly dodged, but the falling metal columns had no pattern, causing everyone to be in disarray.

Boom, a first-stage nobody got hit but was shielded, uninjured, yet after several more strikes, they were unable to block.

The shield shattered, the nobody tumbled, and before he could scream for help, a metal column smashed down, blasting him into a meatloaf.

"Get out of the way!" Tang Zheng sidestepped and swung his right arm out, striking the metal column.

With a thunderous rumble, the entire passage began to tremble, and the metal column was bent out of shape, unable to retract.

"Break!" The tough guy exerted force, his arms gleaming metallically, fiercely striking the metal columns, smashing them to pieces.

Metal debris flew everywhere, hitting the surroundings with a dense sound of dings and dongs.

"It has finally begun." Sister Q seemed to have anticipated this situation; she dodged the falling metal columns effortlessly and moved closer to Tang Zheng.

Sizzle, sizzle, holes opened up on the walls, and thick purple smoke sprayed out, quickly filling the passage and obscuring everyone’s sight.

"Everyone, come to me." Tang Zheng grabbed Gu Xueqi, pulled her over, and then initiated gravity suppression.

"It must be poison gas, everyone hold your breath." Warcraft Brother roared, setting up a water film to wrap around his group members.

The lower-level Conquerors’ faces changed dramatically.

Aside from the Warhammer Team, what normal group leader would have the resources to arm those low-level members? Having given them a few Light Defense Shields was already quite good, but they were not effective against gases.

"Group leader, save me." A young man grabbed the group leader’s arm, pleading for help, but before he got an answer, his face turned deathly pale, and he suffocated, his hands moving to scratch his neck vigorously, trying to open a hole to breathe.

The young man could no longer speak, his face was suddenly covered with pimples, which then burst, oozing pus, and his skin swelled up.

"Gas masks don’t work!" Lower-level bureaucrats wailed; at this moment, they were extremely envious of the Warhammer Team’s members who stayed outside; if they had come in, they would have also endured this near-death agony and fear.

It wasn’t just the young man; several other low-level Conquerors were poisoned, falling in agony, screaming, and they couldn’t even kill themselves.

"Kill them quickly." Sister Q, holding an indescribable rare 3S-Class Firearm, shot at the young man.

The assault rifle had an insect-shaped appearance, the muzzle was the insect’s mouthpart, and it fired white bubbles, swallowing half of the young man’s body upon impact.

"What are you doing?" The young man’s group leader was furious, pointing his rifle at Sister Q.

"They will turn into mutated creatures," Sister Q explained while shooting another low-level Conqueror suffering from the poison, attracting hostility from others.

"But you should wait until they mutate, they are still our comrades after all, there might be a chance to heal them." Some group leaders were dissatisfied, and their allied healers also started trying to treat their companions, but to little effect.

"You’re crazy, attacking allies, you could be erased for breaking the rules," Qin Yan said, not understanding why she would say this, feeling a familiar sense about that woman.

No need for Sister Q to explain further, several poisoned low-level Conquerors suddenly swelled up, bursting their Protective Clothing and turning into a mass of fat, almost filling the passage.

Sizzle, their bodies opened up, spewing green, high-temperature venom along with gases, sticking to the metal walls, corroding them directly.

The mutated rotten flesh moved, engulfing the nearest Conquerors into their bodies, like a stomach, secreting fluids to digest them.

The tough guy’s ten fingers turned into muzzles, shooting at the mutated rotten flesh with spirit energy bullets like a storm, ripping, and splattering flesh.

Others also opened up full firepower, skills shooting, blasting the mutated rotten flesh into a puddle of sauce, like marsh mud, slumping on the floor, submerging up to their ankles.

"We shouldn’t blast them apart," Sister Q warned, but no one listened, and it was already too late.

The mutated rotten flesh squirmed, reassembling, some directly shot out like crossbow arrows, aiming at the Conquerors.

Swoosh, swoosh, the whole passage turned into a slaughterhouse, the stench of blood and poison gas mixed together, permeating, and due to the purple poison fog obscuring their vision, they couldn’t even defend.

The rotten flesh that touched the shield was activated by mitochondria, releasing power to explode.

Boom, boom, explosions spread throughout the passage in an instant, shock waves tossed the flesh sauce, causing more scattered flesh to splatter onto the Conquerors.

"No good, everyone needs to get out from here." Brother Warcraft roared, "Tough guy, make a hole in the wall."

The explosion’s shock wave was too strong, causing people to stagger, and those of lower ranks had it worse, their shields shattered, and they got stuck with rotten flesh, then got infected.

"Do you know that you shouldn’t hit those rotten flesh?" Kevo stared at Sister Q, suspicious of her origins.

"At a time like this, you still have the mind to ask about this?" Wang Fang cursed, "Sister Q, is there any way to kill them?"

"Only using extreme environments can kill them, otherwise they will continue to regenerate," Sister Q’s shield was also rare, not available on the Trojan List, "It’s a pity that Nuclear Flame and Nightmare Loli aren’t here, otherwise their abilities would be very suitable for killing mitochondria."

Jiang Xiuming and Dantai tried using Psychic Storm, but since mitochondria have only the simplest consciousness, they were unaffected, only affected when they conglomerate into larger bodies.

"Can’t mine work?" Gu Xueqi shot out a Phoenix, watching the mitochondria got purified and burnt thoroughly.

"Of course it can, but you’d better conserve energy, be prepared to deal with the BOSS." Sister Q looked around, her gaze seeming to penetrate the fog, then pointed at a wall, "Come on, break through here."

Before Tang Zheng could make a move, the whole passage began to violently shake.

Boom, the most violent explosion swept through the area, metal columns on the ceiling were blown apart, the metal walls looked as though scraped by a blade, losing a layer, bumpy and uneven.

On the ground, meat sauce and blood under the effect of the shock wave, surged like a tide toward the Conquerors, some even evaporated into gas, mixing in the sealed passage.

Oxygen was decreasing, the Conquerors all felt suffocated, but for them, holding their breath for ten minutes was absolutely not an issue, it’s just that if it drags on, they couldn’t guarantee it anymore.

The Hero Level individuals all activated their shields, those of lower tiers didn’t have that many reserves, and thus were unlucky, the shields shattered and they were directly drenched in meat sauce and poison gas.

More were infected by mitochondria, starting to be infected.

This time, the Group Leaders were very regretful; had they known they would die so worthlessly, they rather would have stayed outside, giving someone a favor.

Those who survived have good physiques, usually their body’s mitochondria don’t mutate, but once invaded from outside, there’s a risk.

Tang Zheng punched the wall, making a dent, but not breaking through; after all this was the headquarters dealing with biological disasters, the defense standard could even withstand nuclear attacks without damage.

"Tough guy, Yu Deye, Brother Lin, you do it." Tang Zheng’s words were still very effective, a few named rushed over, attacking the spot Sister Q had designated.

Bang, the wall broke, poison gas gushed out.

"Go now!" Tang Zheng led the charge into the adjacent passage, others followed upon hearing the sounds, behind them were those mutated ’comrades’, their appearance a mass of rotten flesh, continuously wriggling.

Tang Zheng glanced back, this really was a huge reduction in force, Hero Level ones were fine, but those below the second stage nearly two-thirds had died.

"Attention survivors, the Punishment Brigade will arrive in ten seconds, please prepare to meet them." The announcements of a few Trojans inappropriately rang out.

This time they didn’t even mention escaping, because the survivors had only two choices, one was to fight and then live, the other was to die.

"What the hell are the Trojans up to? Don’t they know we are assaulting the mitochondria headquarters?" A tall thin man cursed out, wishing he could strangle the Trojan.

"Have some IQ, okay? Clearly, it’s done by the enemy camp’s Trojan, ours is just notifying," Warcraft also lost the mood to joke, the team’s heavy loss made him want to hit someone to vent.

"Damn, isn’t it not even ten seconds yet?" Someone else cursed, frantically preparing to fight.

In less than ten seconds, even without a Teleportation Gate opening, one after another, high school girls wielding Japanese swords suddenly sprang out from thin air, rushing towards them.

This surprise attack was extremely covert, even some high school girls burst out from the middle of the team, swinging their swords at their nearby enemies.

Because of the running, their black hair flew about, youthful figures, attractive faces, plus their refreshing sailor suits, made the high school girls look glamorous and lively, yet now they brought threats of death.

No one dared to be distracted, even the most lecherous men didn’t glance at the thighs of high school girls or their underwear exposed due to the sword swing actions, they were all fighting.

"Die!" Tang Zheng didn’t shoot, he hadn’t forgotten these high school students were immune to long-range weapons and magic, it was too late to draw his sword, he pushed with his left hand, warding off the opposing blade, then spread his hand wide, grabbed her head, and brutally smashed it into the wall.

Bang, even the metal wall showed a dent, but the high school girl wasn’t dead yet, her other hand drew out a dagger at her waist, stabbing towards Tang Zheng.

Bang, Tang Zheng’s knee flew up, hitting her in the stomach with full force, then grabbed her wrist, twisted it, and shoved the dagger into her abdomen, slicing forcefully.

Hisss, blood splattered, viscera spilled out, scattering across the floor.

"Be careful, these high school students can only be killed in close combat." Dantai reminded, in an instant, the battle intensified, everywhere was filled with the sound of fierce weaponry collisions. (To be continued.
