Chapter 1525: Chapter 113: Divergence

The Japanese fishing boat had already pushed its speed to the limit, but it still couldn’t shake off the survivors on the yacht. Through the telescope, Tang Zheng could see that the crew on the deck were alert, some even holding firearms, but they had learned their lesson and, fearing retaliation from a rocket launcher, did not rashly attack.

"Stubborn indeed, it’s still a long way from the harbor, do they really think they can escape back?" Wei Binbai dug his ears and waved towards the bridge, "Speed up, charge forward, let’s grab a boat too!"

"Don’t you think the boat at the front is a bit too large?" Lu Fan, holding a telescope, examined the deck, "The layout of the ship is similar to a cruise ship, how many fish can it catch? And there’s not much blood on those fishing gears!"

"Maybe it’s a modified boat, or perhaps they haven’t started fishing yet?" Wei Xiangnan and his party, at the other end of the yacht, came over after hearing the commotion.

There were only a handful of people left in Warcraft Brother and Li Zheng’s teams. For safety, they joined Tang Zheng, along with other survivors from the China Region on the ship.

"No, look at those crew members’ appearance and skin color, do they look like sun-beaten fishermen? They look more like bodyguards." Lu Fan held a lollipop in one hand and bit down hard with his clean teeth, making a crunching sound.

Survivors exchanged glances, secretly shocked by the astuteness of the little lolita from the Warhammer Team.

"Look, they’re taking action!" Yu Deye patted the railing and laughed heartily.

There were also a few Japanese Trojan Squads among the survivors. Seeing their compatriots being mocked by Europeans, they wanted to negotiate, but this only provoked them further.

A European Group Leader dressed in military uniform took out a heavy rifle and fired at a fishing boat, the blue particle beam piercing through the hull.

Seawater rushed in, and the fishing boat began to sink as fishermen cried out as if it was doomsday, while other boats hesitated before deciding to continue fleeing.

"Baga!" Some Japanese Conquerors were enraged and confronted the Europeans, tensions were high, ready to erupt into conflict at any moment.

"It’s just a bunch of natives, what’s killing them? Brave enough to take me on one-on-one?" the firing Group Leader was domineering, stood in front of the Japanese with his chest out, then with both hands gestured for them all to come at him, "I alone will take on all of you!"

The Europeans didn’t care for negotiations and instead aggressively pursued them further, launching an attack.

After a few rocket shells, the fishing boat stopped, but the one at the front continued to flee, clearly indicating something was amiss.

"Get into the cabin." A few of the kinder ones shouted, telling the fishermen to hide.

Those who were still alive were almost all elites, having experienced countless killings, had become desensitized to taking lives. The Group Leader switched to a regular machine gun and fired on the deck, watching the frightened and clumsy escape of the crew, laughing proudly.

The captain and mate had initially come on deck, hoping to negotiate, perhaps paying a ransom for disaster relief, but they were met with a barrage of fire, turning them into sieves.

"It’s a gambling ship!" The Europeans successfully boarded the foremost ship, killed several bodyguards, and began wreaking havoc without restraint.

This was a gambling ship disguised as a fishing vessel, often sailing in international waters, thus avoiding arrest, but this time they were unlucky.

"Quick, speed up!" Yu Deye shouted loudly, eager for this kind of distracting activity.

The helmsman looked to Tang Zheng, not daring to make a decision without the Group Leader’s command.

"Go around, let the Europeans make a fuss!" Tang Zheng wouldn’t play the savior, otherwise, he’d be isolated, "Those who want to participate, jump off the ship themselves."

"Who wants a hunting competition? The bet is an S-grade fighting prop!" The Deputy Group Leader howled and took a leap onto the deck, whipping out his handgun and head-exploding two bodyguards who were shooting at him.

One-third of the people responded to the call and jumped onto the gambling ship, but many more chose to keep moving forward; after all, perverts are not numerous in this world.

Wei Binbai, seeing Yu Deye raring to go, quickly held him back. The Warhammer Team, under Tang Zheng’s influence, did not include villains; without his presence, he would likely be exploited eventually.

The interior of the gambling ship was incredibly luxurious. The Deputy Group Leader ran wildly through a corridor covered in red carpet. A waitress holding a tray stared at him bewilderedly, about to call security, when he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her on the ground.

Bang, the Deputy Group Leader kicked open a door, looked at the hall full of gamblers, immediately roared with excitement, chugged a gulp of red wine, and then smashed the bottle on the waitress’s head.

The gamblers also transformed instantly, like wild beasts starved for years, pouncing on the deputy group leader.

"Actually fell into a trap, but I like it!" The group leader in military uniform was full of assertiveness, not advancing but retreating, grabbed the waitress’s ankle, and used her as a human flesh wolf-tooth club, smashing at other mutated creatures.

Boom, boom, the explosions spread continuously, and the hull shook violently.

The Conquerors hadn’t figured out what was happening yet when numerous light beams descended from the sky, striking the gambling ship, turning it into a honeycomb of holes, followed by an explosion like a mini nuclear bomb.

"Activate the shield!" As soon as Dantai finished shouting, the nearby seawater evaporated in large quantities, forming steam that obscured the vision, and then the seawater, under the impact of the shock wave, threw up waves tens of meters high, like an enraged wild beast, overturning the yacht.

Tao Ran fell into the seawater, was washed far away, struggling, unable to float, and swallowing several mouthfuls of water.

Tang Zheng, armed with Hellfire, full thrusters activated, shot out like a shark electrically, catching the nearby Lu Fan and Dong Zixuan.

The Conquerors each resorted to their own means to save themselves, just flying out of the water, they saw the teleportation gate open, with the sergeant and dragon cavalry arriving, launching an offensive against them.

"Don’t panic, set up defenses with the power armor!" Tang Zheng waited for the Europeans to release the yacht, attracted the attention of the punishment forces, and then released the warship.

"Teleportation passage obstacles cleared, teleportation will activate in ten seconds," Trojan’s announcement suddenly rang out, letting the Conquerors feel like they had finally done something angelic.

Tang Zheng had just rushed into the seawater, touching Tao Ran’s fingers, his vision went dark, teleportation arrived, and then he found himself in a dilapidated square.

This was a city that had been destroyed by almost half, strewn with mutated creatures’ corpses, ruins everywhere, some survivors in tight-fitting clothes sitting on the spot, resting, suddenly saw the teleportation, and all stood up together, their muzzles targeting Tang Zheng’s group.

"STOP, friendly!" Emily revealed her identity, but her actions were quick, directly releasing a team of Night Magi servants, establishing a safe teleportation site for the subsequent landing troops.

"Don’t be impulsive!" The opposite side clearly belonged to the Silver Trojan camp, having heard of the Smiling Witch’s fame, and immediately stopped some extremists.

"Are you from Trojan sent to support us?"

Someone asked, full of hope, they had lost nearly half of their people, and had not completed the mission, the extremely high difficulty had driven them to despair.

"Are you stupid, didn’t you see their miserable state?"

More and more Conquerors teleported over, even Vasily was not much better, also dripping wet.

The Conquerors who boarded the gambling ship had died in half, the group leader in military uniform was strong and survived, but was injured, which was very disadvantageous for future battles, making him so angry that he wanted to kill.

The assertive Emily took over command and directly summoned each team’s deputy group leader to discuss.

"To the west of this city, after the big bridge, there is a large man-made island in the sea, that is Babylon, said to host the Mitochondria BOSS inside," explained a group leader, "We tried to bypass the city, but Mitochondria are everywhere, and enemy squads also hide in buildings waiting to ambush. It’s very hard to defend against."

"It’s literally a battle for every inch of ground, the punishment forces appear almost every half hour, of all kinds, and they are even stronger."

Survivors vented their grievances, echoing each other, indicating that the mission could not be completed.

"Why do the punishment forces appear so frequently?" Emily frowned, studying the city map they managed to get.

"The final BOSS should have been killed, those spoils of war, plus stuff Sister Q injected into me, are the best proof." Tang Zheng didn’t think a regular BOSS could drop such top-tier props, "Every half hour means this BOSS can control the punishment forces."

"Enemy attack!"

There was no time for Tang Zheng to contemplate anymore, the duty-survivor shouted, Mitochondria formed a Dare to Die Team, and charged again, cramming the nearby streets.

"FU~CK, why can’t the weapons be used?" The deputy group leader cursed.

"It’s a limiter, the enemy’s Trojan Squad somehow got a sort of prop that limits the use of equipment," one group leader looked at Emily, "We must send a squad to dismantle them, otherwise we’ll be worn down eventually."

Those from the first batch of Conquerors all shifted their gaze, implying without speaking, letting the second batch choose people to go.

"You guys are not foolish, the area near the limiter is definitely full of heavy troops, whoever goes will die." Zhu Kefu straightened his clothes, taking a stand for the people, "You have experience, naturally you should go."

The two sides split into clearly distinct teams, even with Vasily and Bingxu, they did not give in since they had more people, held the advantage, and the commanding group leaders were strong as well, all ranked within the top thirty.

"Let them go, their Warhammer team has many weak members," someone saw Warhammer team had many mediocre members, thus suggesting that they go, "And those teams that were almost annihilated should also go together."
