Chapter 232: Chapter 50: Convenience Store Slaughter_2

"Hmm, Old Lin is indeed experienced." Tang Zheng looked at Li Xinlan and Qin Yan, "Everyone, what did you discover? Speak up. This way, we can cover any loopholes."

"I’ve just confirmed the three newbies who don’t have Seed Abilities. I should have an advantage against them." Qin Yan immediately voiced her thoughts and the possible consequences while striving to prove herself.

Natural Silly Bai Guo also had some insights, "Leave that brunette woman to me. Her Seed Ability seems to be controlling wood. In a place like a hot spring with plenty of wooden cottages, she is quite threatening, but I’m confident I can win."

Watching them exchange ideas harmoniously, Zhang Lanyu and the policeman exchanged looks, and finally scoffed indifferently, not intending to intervene. In fact, they were just here for the show and had noticed nothing else, they even failed to remember the faces and builds of the Russian squad members. The policeman almost stupidly asked Tang Zheng what he was drawing, but luckily Zhang Hao was even dumber.

By evening, Tang Zheng had Pang Meiqin park the Night Bus in front of a large convenience store, which was their resting spot for the night.

"If it wasn’t for fear of hurting Liu Nai, we could have planted C4 explosives on top of their Night bus, sending them straight to heaven." Lin Weiguo said regretfully, "It would’ve been better if they were in two different cars."

"They are not idiots." Zhang Lanyu could only interject on this irrelevant topic to show his presence.

"Ai Li, stay close to me. Those who are buying stuff, go into the convenience store; others keep watch." Tang Zheng, pulling Ai Li with him, dismounted the car and entered the convenience store to buy food for the night.

The policeman and Zhang Hao ogled at Ai Li’s thighs below her short skirt and the black stockings on her calf, swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Jealous and envious, they thought of how such a juicy cabbage, a uniformed high school girl from Japan, was snapped up by a dimwit like Tang Zheng.

"Damn, it’s so unfair." Zhang Hao looked at the four flight attendants, secretly complaining they weren’t jealous. Did they have to cling onto Tang Zheng? The sounds of the two rolling on the bed yesterday afternoon weren’t quiet at all.

"It’s all about ability. Whoever can keep them alive, they’ll follow." The policeman was also displeased, but at least he was self-aware.

As it was a convenience store located on a tourist route, there were quite many customers. Tang Zheng went inside and swiftly scanned, counting a total of sixteen.

"Hurry and buy whatever you want." Tang Zheng pulled out some money and handed it to Ai Li, then he carried his Thunderstorm rifle, guarding her closely.

"I’m going to buy a lollipop and chocolate." Lu Fan reported and then ran off with Bai Guo. Li Xinlan stayed by Tang Zheng’s side.

Even the five-minute shopping trip made the ever-alert middle-aged woman sweat. It wasn’t until Ai Li went to the cash register that she breath a little easier, only for a sudden change to occur at that moment.

The female cashier suddenly ripped off her human skin, revealing an alien form underneath. While spitting acid towards Ai Li, two claws and a scorpion-like stinger shot out towards her.

Li Xinlan was scared stiff. While in the process of aiming her gun, Tang Zheng who was beside Ai Li had already moved. He pushed Ai Li aside and, holding his gun in one hand, violently thrusted it into the alien’s mouth. He then pulled the trigger, blowing the alien’s head apart. Blood splattered everywhere.

"Bai Guo, be careful." Tang Zheng shouted out, rushing to Ai Li’s side and began to shoot at the incoming aliens. He’d been on guard from the start. If there were more than sixteen customers, he wouldn’t have even stepped into the store.

Outside the convenience store, there was a burst of gunfire and also Lin Weiguo’s loud warning, "Over fifty aliens, four Ironblood Warriors."

"So, these are Ironblood Warriors?" When the monsters appeared, Li Xinlan was shocked. She immediately used her Seed Ability, forming an igloo-like ice house that rose rapidly from the ground, enveloping the three of them. There were several windows on it, slightly smaller than a volleyball, which provided Tang Zheng with shooting spots.

Boom, the Ironblood Warrior’s laser cannon hit the ice house, causing a minor shake, and some ice chips fell off.

"Don’t worry, other than the slightly thinner area around the shooting port, the rest is layered with over three meters of hard ice. I’ve tested it — even cluster hand grenades can’t break through," Li Xinlan reassured the group. "The only ones we need to worry about are Lu Fan and Bai Guo."

"You’re overthinking it, all the monsters are attracted to Ai Li," Tang Zheng said serenely, as he shot through the window. He had never felt this relaxed.

The aliens jumped onto the ice house, clawing at it in vain. Apart from leaving some scratch marks, they were unsuccessful. Even when their acid was sprayed on, corroding three to four centimeters, Li Xinlan quickly repaired it. Unable to do anything, they were frantic.

A few aliens spotted the window and tried to reach inside. This was perfect for Tang Zheng, who was frustrated by the difficulty of finding targets. He immediately opened fire, blasting them into pieces. Of course, some aliens tried to spray acid through the window, but Li Xinlan didn’t give them the chance.

The originally semi-circular ice house suddenly morphed into the shape of a hedgehog. Adult-arm-thick, two-meter-long ice spears jutted out, piercing the dozens of aliens that were tightly surrounding the ice house, seeking a way to break in.

With a sound reminiscent of pouring water, warm blood flowed from the aliens’ wounds, splashing onto the ice house and trickling past the window.

"This ability is amazing." Listening to the pitiful screams of the aliens inside the convenience store, Tang Zheng gave a thumbs up and said, "With Li Xinlan around, it’s like having a mobile ice fortress at all times. It feels incredibly secure."

Li Xinlan smiled modestly. Since losing Liu Nai, she had been thinking about how she could maximise the use of her powers. She was finally seeing the results.

Bai Guo also used her ability, pulling Lu Fan into invisibility with her, and then shooting the Ironblood Warrior stuck on the ice house with her F-Gun. As it was too powerful, it naturally needed to be prioritised. Lu Fan wasn’t idle either, holding his handgun in both hands and firing away. However, as soon as Bai Guo let go, her figure became visible. An alien that had been lucky to escape the ice spears rushed at her.

Bai Guo was startled and quickly grabbed Little Lolita, making her disappear while moving to a different location. She spent five bullets to incinerate the alien into a ball of fire.

"Your bullets will reveal our location," Bai Guo couldn’t help but remind Lu Fan.

"It’s fine, aren’t they all pinned on the ice house? And Bai Guo, your ability is too comfortable. With one invisibility, you can easily become a spectator," Lu Fan said enviously, beginning to fantasise about the kind of power he might get.

"Open a few more windows for me," Tang Zheng requested. He wasn’t about to let go of this excellent opportunity for attack. He killed them off one after the other.

Three minutes later when Li Xinlan dismissed the ice house, only a circle of battered alien corpses remained. The Ironblood Warrior had also been burnt to ashes by Bai Guo’s gun.

Bai Guo popped back into visibility, making a ’V’ sign with her fingers, and then pointed at the parking lot outside the convenience store.

"Well done, both of you take care of Ai Li for me," Tang Zheng praised, before running outside. A fierce fight was underway there.

Pushing open the glass door, Tang Zheng sprayed bullets at the aliens attacking the Night Bus. After a quick glance around, he noticed that miraculously no one had died.

Not far from the bus on the cement floor was a large pit, which was the handiwork of Lin Weiguo. At this moment, cement covered his entire body, making him look like a mud man and doubling his size. Even when sprayed with acid, it only corroded some of the dirt. He stood at the door of the bus, vigorously firing the MG3 Roaring Death to suppress the Ironblood Warrior.

Qin Yan’s power meant she could not be the main attacker, only providing support. However, Zhang Hao was unusually fierce at this time, indulging in hand-to-hand combat with an Ironblood Warrior.

"Turning your skin into metal, a very practical ability." Tang Zheng laughed. If Zhang Hao hadn’t been unlucky enough to attract the attention of an Ironblood Warrior, Tang Zheng wouldn’t have seen Zhang Hao’s ability. Looking at his frustrated face, it was clear he wanted to keep this power as his trump card.(To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on qidian.com.
