Chapter 280: Chapter 30 - High School Students Annihilated

Tang Zheng’s powerful kick landed squarely on Alice’s chin, producing a sound that sent her head crashing backward at a ninety-degree angle, snapping her neck. Despite this, she remained unharmed, her eyes ablaze with fury as she fixed them on Tang Zheng. Her right hand quickly darted into the vicinity of her apron.

Tang Zheng didn’t dare to relax. His left hand grabbed Alice’s wrist and yanked her towards him. His right hand, just having released the crossbow, clenched into a fist for the next attack. He twisted his waist and swung his arm, aiming another punch at her temples.

Employing the explosive burst of power, Tang Zheng’s strength was now about thirty or so times greater than that of an average adult. His punch, akin to a speeding F1 race car, accompanied by an ear-piercing wind-breaking sound and a trailing afterimage, burst Alice’s left eyeball, shattered her flesh and splattered her blood everywhere.

The impact was too much for Alice’s neck to bear; visibly lengthened by a couple of centimeters as it took on more severe fractures.

"I’m going to kill you," was Alice’s vow despite having a ruined larynx. She reached for the kitchen knife aiming it at Tang Zheng’s eye socket.

Alice, with her limited reach, was not nearly close enough to strike him. Just as Tang Zheng planned for his next attack, Alice’s arm stretched out in a bizarre rubber-like fashion, resembling a harpoon suddenly shot forth, finding purchase in Tang Zheng’s left shoulder.

The S-Class Firefly Protective clothing failed to stop the attack as the kitchen knife plunged into his shoulder, causing blood to splatter all around. Tang Zheng only noticed at this moment that the knife Alice had drawn was different from the previous one. The new blade was bathed in a glowing dark red light, indicating it was a top-tier weapon.

"Die." Tang Zheng cursed inwardly for his carelessness and sent another uppercut towards Alice’s chin. He initially thought his intense power would sever the skin of her neck and decapitate her. However, when his fist collided with her chin, it felt like he had punched a non-corporeal ghost and mysteriously went right through it.

Alice chuckled at her advantage, swiftly releasing the kitchen knife, quickly retracting her extended arm and diving her hands back into the apron to grab more weapons - five rabbit-shaped explosives, about the size of a fist, which she flung towards the arm that Tang Zheng still held onto.

Tang Zheng attempted to roll away, however, stuck holding Alice, he ended up getting caught in the blast of the rabbit explosives.

The explosives took the shape of a grotesque, screeching black rabbit and bore a haunting grin. Once they landed on Tang Zheng, they seemed to come alive, their hands firmly gripping his arm as their mouths wide open began a ten-second countdown.

In a moment, Tang Zheng found himself in a predicament. Unaware of the attack pattern of the rabbit bombs but seeing Alice’s cunning smile, he instinctively wanted to tear them off. However, doing so would cost him precious time to attack Alice, who was again reaching into her apron for more weapons.

Tang Zheng’s predicament didn’t end there. Upon seeing their master threatened, some of Alice’s card soldiers abandoned their fight with Li Xinlan and the others to rush towards him.

"Fuck it, I’ll risk losing one arm to kill you!" Tang Zheng growled, launching another punch at her head. But once again, his fist mysteriously phased through her cheek. Stunned for a moment, he reached for his bronze sword and took a vicious stab at her.

"Stupid human seed," Alice mocked, completely disregarding Tang Zheng’s attack. Indeed, the bronze sword also passed through her without making a mark. This time, she pulled out a silver pepper grinder from her apron. It was actually a machine gun.

"Is this girl’s apron connected to another dimension? How can she pull anything out of it?" Tang Zheng incredulously noted. In the midst of his astonishment about how she could wield such a heavy weapon with one hand, the countdown on the rabbit bombs reached its end.

As the countdown came to an end, the rabbit explosives detonated in quick succession. Half of Tang Zheng’s left arm was blown off, and he was forced to retreat.

"I told you, you’re a complete idiot, bug." Alice laughed heartily, contemptuous of Tang Zheng. She then aimed the pepper grinder at Tang Zheng, grinding the handle, and a spray of bullets ignited in flame shot out towards him.

Tang Zheng immediately dodged the rain of bullets awkwardly. Blood spots were scattered wherever he tumbled over. Half of his left arm was severed, revealing ghastly white bone and crimson flesh, making him grimace in pain.

Due to a portion of the card soldiers and armored knights leaving to assist their master, the pressure on Li Xinlan, Qin Yan, and the others greatly reduced. However, by this time, they had lost a good number of high school students. Anyone who was pulled down from the ice platform by the card soldiers didn’t leave a complete corpse.

The ice platform now was reduced by more than half because the larger it was, the more life energy Li Xinlan consumed.

The luck of the Leopard Print Woman and the peddler had run out. Their journey in this game had reached its end, and they were torn to pieces and killed. Only a woman office worker remained persistent, due in large part to her taking refuge in the center of the ice platform.

"Tang Zheng," Qin Yan and Li Xinlan both watched in utter disbelief at the second when Tang Zheng’s arm was severed. The man who had gone through three games and barely ever got injured, was now being totally dominated by Alice. And even in his explosive state, he ended up losing an arm. As for Yin Shangwu, he was almost evenly matched with Brant, nearly destroying half of the room during their battle.

The two women exchanged glances, nodding simultaneously, then dashed off the ice platform towards Alice. Trying to massacre the card soldiers over here was simply a waste of combat power.

Seeing this, Little Lu Fan didn’t hesitate. She accelerated and rushed down too, knowing that she could only face death if she stayed up there. Zhang Hao would surely also run away, so she had to find her uncle.

"You don’t care if we live or die anymore?" Liu Jiamei, standing by Xu Guanlin’s side, was both shocked and angered at seeing the actions of Xinlan and Qin Yan. She let out an outraged roar.

Pang Meiqin also found herself startled. However, she lacked the courage to jump down. The sight of the densely packed card soldiers below the ice platform made her skin crawl. She didn’t believe she was capable of going against them all by herself. All she could do was hope that Tang Zheng could quickly deal with Alice and come back to save them.

With the loss of Li Xinlan’s abilities, combined with the knights in armor constantly hacking and the temperature within the room, the ice platform began to melt.

The remaining high school students once again huddled closer together. Everyone had received extra weapons from Qin Yan and Li Xinlan. Originally, there weren’t enough; but now, due to the death of many, everyone had their share.

"Bloody hell, I don’t want to be used as a meat shield." Seeing that their two strong combatants had left and the remaining Pang Meiqin was no use, Zhang Hao cursed aloud and leaped off the ice platform to aid Tang Zheng. He knew he couldn’t delay any longer. Otherwise, if Tang Zheng and Yin Shangwu were defeated, he wouldn’t be able to handle Alice by himself.

"I might really die this time." The thought that Alice was capable of severing Tang Zheng’s arm sent him into panic.

"No." A female employee yelled and instinctively reached out to grab Zhang Hao’s arm. The reason she had survived up until now was that she was positioned in the center of the ice platform, standing just behind Zhang Hao. This placement had spared her much pressure.

However, as Zhang Hao jumped off the platform, the card soldiers that had been oppressed beneath the Ice platform all this time went berserk and surged upwards. The female employee lost her footing momentarily, a soldier grabbed her ankle. Liu Jiamei shot the soldier, knocking him off but also pulling the woman down in the process. Then, the mechanical soldiers from the side swarmed up, grabbing her arms and feet.

"No!" The woman instantly felt the tearing force at the roots of her thighs and shoulders. She let out a loud cry while urine leaked down her black stockings, staining the blood-covered stone slabs below.

The red-hooded card soldiers exerted force with both hands, and the woman’s legs were torn into a split. The wrap dress was pulled up to her waist, and in the high school students’ field of vision, the two silk-stocking-clad legs were brutally ripped off. Two armored soldiers swung the axes and spears in their hands at her chest.

With the sound of breaking bones, the woman’s chest caved in. Spitting out blood, she died instantly.

This tragic scene instantly caused the high school students to collapse. No matter how much Xu Guanlin yelled, he couldn’t stop their defeat.

"Guanlin." Liu Jiamei wept as she clung to Xu Guanlin with her out-of-ammo AK74. Around her, more and more students were being attacked and massacred by the card soldiers who managed to climb onto the ice platform.

"If I’d known I was going to die, I wouldn’t have been so conceited before. I would definitely have cherished every girl who admired me." Xu Guanlin, his palm wrapped in bandages where his fingers were missing, stroked Liu Jiamei’s hair. After giving a smile, he kissed the girl’s lips.

"I..." Liu Jiamei finally received the love she had longed for in her dreams. Just when she was about to say something, a knight came up behind her and chopped off her head with his axe.

Watching Liu Jiamei’s head, still wearing an excited and satisfying smile, flying in mid-air and her shining eyes still gazing at him, Xu Guanlin’s face was covered in tears. Then, he picked up the AK74 in her hand and swung it at the knight who had beheaded Liu Jiamei.

With a thud, the gun with no bullets was hit aside. The armored knight charged forward and swung his axe at Xu Guanlin’s neck. The sharp axe blade sliced straight through the chest bone, splitting it in half.

"Ahh!" Pang Meiqin screamed like she had gone mad. She shot at the armored knights with one hand and clutched the spiritual power hand grenade Tang Zheng had given her. She bit the safety pin off and threw the grenade.

With the scorching wave set off by the explosion, Pang Meiqin made a sprinting leap out of the platform. While in mid-air, she also fended off several soldiers who tried to pounce on her.

There were also high school students who tried to escape from there and join Tang Zheng. But they were slower by half a beat and lacked weapons and ammunition, so they were instantly intercepted by the soldiers and pulled down from mid-air.

After the last of the Conquerors left, the high school students’ psychological defense finally collapsed completely. Surrounded in the center, the card soldiers and the knights in armor pounced on them and turned them into a pool of mud.
