Chapter 265: Chapter 19 Alice’s Game

"English? An American or a Brit?" Xu Guanlin exclaimed in surprise, looking at Tang Zheng for an explanation, to determine if they were friend or foe.

Some of the students tip-toed, their faces full of anticipation as they watched the stone door opposite them. In this pressing Demon City of death, encountering humans, even those of different skin tones, gave them a sense of safety. However, several students maintain their vigilance and stood by Tang Zheng’s side, trusting their own kind at this time.

"Be on guard." Tang Zheng waved his hand. Li Xinlan and the others instantly backed into the crowd, while Zhang Hao was holding his head in dismay, " It is not going to be another team battle again, right? But we’ve never encountered such a situation before."

Yin Shangwu held on to his Tang Sword, his hands trembling with excitement, his eyes overflowing with angry flames. "I hadn’t anticipated that we would first run into the North American superhero team."

Tang Zheng stood in front of Yin Shangwu. He didn’t notice her abnormality, or he would have asked at least one question. Within less than a minute, a bunch of Americans rushed in.

"Twenty-five people in total." Li Xinlan glanced around and counted the exact number of people.

Tang Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood. Among these Americans, only six were adults. The rest were seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in school uniforms, and according to Trojan’s selection law, they were undoubtedly students.

When they saw a group of Chinese standing opposite them, they also displayed a vigilant look and shouted loudly, asking Tang Zheng and others about their origins. Naturally, some students, regardless of everything else, sat down to rest, as they were too tired.

Although our high school students learn English every day, at the moment of actual use, many were stage-frightened. Only Xu Guanlin and Yue Tong spoke relatively standard English. As for Li Xinlan and the other flight attendants, there was no problem with that. On the other hand, it was obvious that the other party hadn’t learned Chinese, so no one came forward to communicate.

"Ha, it seems that the losses of the Superhero Squad were more severe than ours, our team still has twenty-nine people." Yin Shangwu thought for a moment and still revealed the other team’s details, so that everyone could be prepared. "They are the North American Superhero Squad, and I know four of them. The man wearing a baseball cap and carrying an M16 rifle is a former captain, a Canadian, and his ability is universal magnetism. The blonde woman is known for her gunfighting skills and close combat. Her ability is Sonic Attack. The man with the glasses is an engineer, ability unknown. The remaining muscular black man is a boxer, ability unknown."

"Yin Shangwu, this time you can take your revenge." Tang Zheng stared at her face to confirm that there was nothing wrong and secretly thought that he might have overthought the situation. It could just have been a random encounter.

"Tang Zheng did suspect." Yin Shangwu snorted, saying, "Several of those who had fought against us last time are dead, so there should be other Conquerors that I don’t know about."

"Just check their equipment, and you’ll know." Lu Fan was a bit puzzled, wondering how Yin Shangwu was getting slower on the uptake.

Yin Shangwu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. Her thoughts of revenge had somewhat affected her judgement.

Both sides hesitated and discussed their options. Just as Xu Guanlin decided to go forward and negotiate, he hadn’t taken more than ten steps when the sound of regular footsteps came from the passageway behind him.

Instantly, people from both sides retreated to the center of the room. Two teams, fully armed and dressed in something akin to medieval heavy armor, wielding two-handed great swords rushed in. There were three hundred knights, followed by a team of Red Hood Poker Soldiers, adding up to over three hundred in total.

Terrified screams instantly emerged from the crowd. Some wanted to attack, but were stopped by their peers because these creatures did not launch an attack. Instead, they lined up around the room, standing every meter and setting up defenses on the remaining high platform.

Alice, with her strange smile, came out of the passageway and went straight up to the high platform. Opposite her, a pale-faced butler in a black tailcoat emerged. Judging from the panic-stricken looks of the newbies in the Superhero Squad, this man was as terrifying as Alice.

"Now that all the guests are here then, ladies and gentlemen, Alice’s game is about to begin!" As Alice’s Chinese voice fell, the two stone doors closed completely.

However, the Superhero Squad did not need to worry about not understanding her, as the butler standing behind Alice dutifully translated her words.

"Your two squads will participate in Miss Alice’s several games, till one side is completely annihilated, only then can the survivors leave."

Initially, the new recruits from both squads gathered in the middle of the room, seeking a sense of security in numbers. However, upon hearing these words, they were shocked and divided instantly, standing out distinctly like the Chu and Han boundaries.

Only the Conquerors didn’t move from their spots. They never trusted anyone, let alone that Brant had already recognized Yin Shangwu.

"So, it’s you. Are all of your former teammates dead?" Brant tried to obtain information while observing these Conquerors from Asia.

"The ones who seem dead are your teammates, and you’ll be next." Tang Zheng retorted, exuding an air of conceit. He pretended that he already knew that their team had been wiped out.

"Ha ha, what a fool." Brant laughed and disregarded Tang Zheng. Instead, he focused his attention on Zhang Hao and Lin Weiguo.

"Let me reiterate, there will be no draw. Only when a side is completely annihilated can one leave the dungeon of Demon City and enter the Demon Castle." Alice’s words deflated many people. It seemed that the victory here only meant a few more hours of survival. They still had to face the potential danger of dying at any moment.
