Chapter 1522: Chapter 110: Transformation

Bang, bang, with Tang Zheng’s fierce punches, the entire cabin was blasted through, the clanging noise spread far, and it won’t be long before others arrive, and they might attack him by then.

"Think of something quickly?" Li Xinlan urged anxiously, running towards Tang Zheng without looking back, only to be hit by his swelling left arm and slammed into the cabin wall.

"Don’t come over." Tang Zheng roared, with each breath, his chest felt like it was burning, endless energy was emerging from the mitochondria in his cells, flowing through his body, and once filled, it dissipated around.

Tang Zheng’s skin turned red, even starting to show signs of charring, with debris continuously peeling off.

"Gu Xueqi, quick, healing magic." Pang Meiqin forcefully dragged over the still recovering school beauty, not allowing her to refuse.

Gu Xueqi hadn’t forgotten Tang Zheng’s favor, and tried her best to cast spells; dozens of phoenixes landed on Tang Zheng, but they were almost ineffective, merely preventing his flesh from burning.

The heat emanating from Tang Zheng caused the room’s temperature to rapidly rise, as if placed in a steel furnace.

"It’s no use, he’s beyond saving, kill him." Yu Deye took out a rifle, not waiting for anyone else to speak, aimed at Tang Zheng, and pulled the trigger.

He had long disliked this young group leader, now with such a clear opportunity to kill him, he had to take action.

Bang, bang, consecutive gunfire, the bullets with a focused strike effect opened up basketball-sized holes in the cabin wall.

"What are you doing? Move aside!" Yu Deye was annoyed, Lin Weiguo actually lifted his own gun’s muzzle, causing the bullets to miss.

"What are you doing?" Old Soldier roared, directly releasing the Giant Barrier, preparing for combat.

"Are you crazy?" Pang Meiqin was too concerned about Tang Zheng and had been distracted, not noticing Yu Deye’s actions, but now realized, directly pulling out the Ferocious Bird’s cry, ready to kill him.

"If you make a move, I will kill you!" Qin Yan took out the Magic Spear Thorn, pressing it next to Yu Deye’s head.

Bai Guo pursed her lips, drew back the Fallen Star Magic Bow, aiming at Yu Deye, this guy actually wanted to kill her brother-in-law, how hateful.

Li Xinlan smashed her right fist into the cabin wall, the entire corridor was covered with ice, white all over, the frost letting her attack the enemy at any moment.

Tao Ran’s Time-space Blackfish jumped out, the steel cabin wall under Xu Biyun’s ability formed a puppet, ready to blast Yu Deye’s head.

"Don’t misunderstand, he’s also doing it for the team." Seeing himself also a target of everyone, Wei Binbai hurriedly tried to mediate the two sides, facing hostility from such a group was highly stressful.

"You all are insane, he has mutated, there’s no saving him." Yu Deye was scared too, not expecting Tang Zheng’s authority to be so high, even as a monster, he was still supported, but this made him even angrier, insisting on his own view.

"What’s going on?" Warcraft Brother arrived with Wei Xiangnan and others; behind were Wang Fang and Fu Tianxiao, since they were relatively familiar with the Hammer Team, they stayed nearby.

"Tang Zheng mutated?" Kevo’s eyes gleamed with schadenfreude, but his face showed sympathy, "Bad news, we have to kill him before he completely turns into a monster, otherwise with Tang Zheng’s strength, once he becomes complete, he’ll definitely be boss-level."

"I dare anyone to make a move?" Old Soldier enlarged his body, blocking the hatch, "If you want to kill Tang Zheng, you have to get past me first."

Qin Yan’s group, without listening to explanations, crowded over, ready to fight.

"This is harming him, it’s better for him to die than to suffer." Kevo persuaded slickly, "Anyway, it’s not hard for you to collect ten thousand points, why worry?"

"This is our private matter, please leave." Dantai issued an expulsion order, he knew well the true strength of the team, once Tang Zheng died, it would likely be a complete defeat for the Hammer Team.

"Bullshit, if he turns into a monster, it’s a big deal; if you don’t let us act, I’ll tell Vasily and Bingxu." Yu Deye appeared righteously indignant, also aiming for Tang Zheng’s Space Wristwatch, coveting his possessions, thus trying to rally allies, "Mu Nianqi, what do you say?"

Wei Binbai was also a bit tempted, covertly exchanging a probing glance with Jiang Xiuming, they were both Level 2 Heroes, and together with Old Jiang, they could easily crush the Hammer Team.

Jiang Xiuming remained silent; he was somewhat tempted, but Tang Zheng currently still had his own will, if they fought, Tang Zheng would surely attack him first.

"Wait till he fully mutates." Queen Mu scorned taking advantage of the weak, Witch’s Blade surrounding her hands, ready for combat.

"A bunch of fools." Yu Deye muttered, frustratedly punching the wall.

"What’s going on? Someone mutated? Kill them quick!" A bunch of Europeans rushed over, delighted at seeing Tang Zheng’s condition, directly unleashing their abilities.

The group leaders immediately entered Hero Mode, attacking Tang Zheng, they couldn’t wait for the higher-ranked individuals on the Hero Ranking to disappear, so they could achieve better rankings and obtain better rewards.

"Stop!" Led by Qin Yan, the Hammer Team, knowing they were outmatched, also took action, intercepting them.

A level 2 hero, a white man, disappeared, appearing next to Tang Zheng the next second, a 3S-level rifle furiously firing at him; a Hero Tier 3 group leader, his surroundings enveloped by turbulent airflows like a hurricane, scattered the lower-ranked team members.

Bai Guo had not yet closed the distance when he was struck and sent flying.

"Kill them!" Mu Nianqi was furious. Despite her injuries, she attacked furiously. Her clone appeared, intercepting the group leaders.

"Li Zheng, make your move." Wang Fang hesitated for a moment, but still decided to owe a favor to the Warhammer Team. As for the others, it was not possible.

Fu Tianxiao did not dare to make a move, fearing retaliation, especially since Tang Zheng’s death would mean their connection with the Warhammer Team was completely severed.

Warcraft Brother and Yue Jing disliked the Europeans’ arrogant behavior and wanted to intervene, but were stopped by Kevo.

"Everyone calm down, let’s talk this through!" Kevo was clearly doing this on purpose. The Europeans were not going to listen to him, and such a delay could possibly result in Tang Zheng’s death.

Boom—a tyrannical Gravity Abyss instantly enveloped the surroundings. The air subsided, and the Conquerors suffocated instantly. Their bodies shuddered, pressed towards the ground.

The bullets and abilities attacking Tang Zheng were all immobilized around him.

Tang Zheng’s arm exploded, and amidst the flying flesh and blood, he suddenly rose, grabbed the Level 2 Hero white man, and with a knife-hand strike, stabbed towards his heart.

"Let him go!" The group leaders roared furiously, their deadly moves intensified.

"Get lost!" Tang Zheng waved one hand, and the Gravity Abyss suddenly withdrew. Immediately, a planet-like sphere appeared above his head.

White Dwarf Star, ten thousand times the pressure!

An intense gravitational field descended like divine pressure, the Level 1 Conquerors had no resistance and directly knelt to the ground. Even Level 3 Conquerors felt immense suppression, their bodies felt like they were deep underwater, even moving a finger was difficult.

Bang, bang, gravity bullets shot out in all directions, striking the group leaders and sending them flying.

The pierced Level 2 unlucky fellow attempted to struggle in vain. Tang Zheng raised his right arm, and then ruthlessly slammed him onto the ground.

Boom, boom, the cabin floor was smashed open. The unfortunate fellow directly pierced through six floors, then shattered into a puddle of mush.

"Who wants to kill me? Stand out!" Tang Zheng stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping over these people. The droplets of blood flung by his hand eerily suspended around him—it was terrifying; even the liquid, when accelerated by the gravitational field, possessed substantial destructive power.

All the Europeans silenced, staring dumbfounded at Tang Zheng, completely unable to believe that someone who had just advanced to Level 3 Hero could suppress six group leaders.

"Tang Zheng, are you alright?" Fu Tianxiao internally cursed herself for having chosen the wrong side earlier, so she quickly put on a smiling face, trying to ingratiate herself with him.

"Since I’m fine, then scram!" Tang Zheng’s swollen arm exploded off, and a new arm rapidly regrew, transformed by the mitochondria to be as hard as steel.

Tang Zheng reached towards the wall, directly tearing off a piece of metal and crumpling it into a metal ball.

"Group leader, he is at the end of his tether, let’s kill—" a European objected, but before he could finish speaking, the White Dwarf Star unleashed a magnetic field.

Tang Zheng pointed with his right hand, and the European was lifted into the air. Then, the surrounding metal walls, fresh blood, and the metal ball turned into sharp arrows, all shooting towards him.

The European tried to release his ability to resist, but his head exploded with a bang, and white brain matter scattered across the floor.

"Don’t make me say it a second time, all of you get lost!" Tang Zheng grabbed another European by the head, squeezed it until it burst, and then swung the body onto the ground like a sandbag.

"Let’s leave!" The Europeans, having lost their nerve, left with resentful gazes and all retreated.

"Everyone disperse!" Tang Zheng walked back to his room, spat out a mouthful of blood, and leaned against the wall, gasping for air.

"How do you feel?" Li Xinlan wanted to support Tang Zheng, but Pang Meiqin beat her to it.

"Don’t worry, it’s still manageable, I have too much life energy with nowhere to vent." Tang Zheng’s skin kept cracking open, oozing blood, and then quickly healing, with new cells that were even stronger.

The energy contained in the mitochondrial prototype was too immense. Up till now, Tang Zheng had only absorbed half, but this was already his limit. If he hadn’t used the seed fire and undergone virus transformation, he would have only one path: death.

According to the plan, Sister Q should have waited for Tang Zheng to adapt to Level 3 Hero before injecting the prototype, but she was out of time and had to act prematurely. Fortunately, he managed to hold on for the time being.

"Tang Zheng, don’t be careless, even if you survived the initial stage, there are still greater crises waiting for you." Standing on the ruins of a city, Sister Q looked up at the enemy warships in the sky, took a deep breath, knowing that Tang Zheng’s physique couldn’t fully absorb the mitochondrial prototype. It was definitely lying dormant, waiting for the right opportunity to strike back.

"You’re back?" The sewer cover was pushed open, and a busty girl jumped out excitedly, her face covered in blood and gunpowder smoke, her protective clothing tattered, clearly having survived a fierce battle.

Inside Tang Zheng’s cells, the once rhythmically breathing mitochondria quieted down, with only occasional bubbles proving its self-awareness; the thought of dominating never dissipated.
