Chapter 320: Chapter 18: Massacre of Newbies and Terror Crocodile Attack

Demi, who was wearing protective clothing and had only half of her leg sticking out from under the inflatable boat, didn’t get hurt or feel much pain because Julia was holding her head. However, she was scared. Frightened by the sudden capsizing of the boat, her leg was forcefully stepped into the soil. Unaware of what was happening, Demi immediately started crying.

"Huh? Who’s crying?" Hearing the cry, Brant felt a sense of revengeful joy in his heart. He didn’t dodge immediately. Instead, he pretended not to notice and put all his weight on that leg, stomping harder and pretending to look around.

"Bastard." Tang Zheng was truly angered. He was playing this trick right in front of him. A lesson was definitely necessary.

"Wait..." Brant was startled by Tang Zheng’s somber expression. He waved his hand, trying to explain.

Tang Zheng didn’t listen. He went straight up and punched him in the nose. Brant immediately fell back, and several of his teeth flew into the air. He felt a sharp pain in his nose and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

"Let... me... explain..." Seeing Tang Zheng’s relentless actions, Brant quickly shielded his head and pleaded loudly as Tang Zheng kicked his face.

Thud, seeing Brant still blocking, Tang Zheng changed direction and kicked him in the chest, silencing his plea for mercy.

"Explain this, you bastard!" Tang Zheng only used half of his strength. Originally intending to just teach him a lesson, he didn’t expect Brant’s body to distort badly, shrieking as if he was being brutally tortured.

"Tang, what are you doing?" Jack rose to his feet and sprinted over to stop him.

The people on the five wooden rafts on the lake just glanced over and no longer paid attention. They were all focused on the lake, paddling furiously.

"It hurts! My ribs are broke, help!" Brant wailed dramatically, his actions exaggerated enough to fetch him an Oscar.

"You’re still yelling? You’re wearing protective clothing, is it that painful?" Tang Zheng was going to let it go, but this guy was just too shameless, which made him give a couple more kicks.

"That’s enough!" Jack was furious. He grabbed onto Tang Zheng’s waist, trying to throw him off.

"My ribs are broken." Seeing this through his arms that were covering his head, Brant screamed, quickly rolled over and pretended he didn’t notice. He kicked Julia’s thigh. He actually wanted to kick Demi, but he didn’t find the right position.

Using all his strength, Brant kicked and the blonde woman immediately screamed. He felt the touch of her thigh on his foot and couldn’t help but feel a thrill. He repeated his action, using the momentum of the turning to kick again.

"You bastard!" Nicole, who was coming over to help Julia, saw the triumphant look in Brant’s eyes and the two dirty footprints on the woman’s thigh. She was suddenly angered and kicked him too.

"What are you doing? Stop." Jack hadn’t seen what had happened and was still trying to intervene.

Tang Zheng was just about to let Brant go, using Jack’s mediation as a ladder. After all, being the first to kill wasn’t good for his reputation. But looking at the footprints on the woman’s leg, he was completely enraged. He grabbed Jack’s hand and threw him off, supported by his left leg, his right leg gathered all his strength. Much like a powerful kicker, the back of his foot viciously hit Brant’s chest.

Crack, with the crisp sound of a fracture echoing, Brant’s ribs were really broken now. He even rolled out, plowing a furrow on the ground.

Brant coughed up a mouthful of blood. Outraged, he reached for the rifle on his back, ready to pull the trigger and mow down everyone.

Tang Zheng noticed Brant reaching for his gun, his pupils shrank, and his right hand swiftly pulled out his M1911A1 from the leg gun holster, raising his hand and firing two shots.

Boom boom, both bullets hit Brant’s gun-holding right hand.

This time, Brant let out a real scream, it echoed incredibly mournful along the silent lakeside.

All eyes on the five wooden rafts quickly turned to look at Tang Zheng. They thought he was under attack, but they saw that he was the one shooting at Brant.

Tang Zheng did not stop, he continued to shoot calmly because Brant was wearing protective clothing and it would take more than three bullets to pierce one area.

Boom boom boom, gunfire echoed rhythmically. In the view of everyone, first, a chubby white man’s finger flew into the air, among rain-like blood droplets, Brant’s right wrist was blown up, with only some flesh and skin hanging from the broken arm.

Tang Zheng then aimed at his other hand, five more shots, broke his other wrist before ceasing his fire.

"Are you crazy?" Jack was scared too by Tang Zheng’s sudden onslaught. He howled and rushed over to snatch the handgun from him.

However, Tang Zheng lost interest, returned the handgun to its holster. If it wasn’t for the 1000 points deduction for killing a newbie, he would absolutely have finished Brant off.

"The crazy one is him." Tang Zheng ignored Brant, who was left armless. At any rate, he couldn’t hold a gun anymore. He returned to the inflatable raft, grabbed the edge with one hand, and threw it fiercely.

Upon seeing the rubber boat, along with its engine, tumble out five or six meters with one toss from Tang Zheng, not only did Jack gasp in shock but so too did the newcomers on the raft who were watching him.

David’s raft was finally two meters away from shore, and Leonard jumped ashore grimfaced, his gaze landing on Tang Zheng.

"Tang, I need an explanation for why you broke Brant’s wrist."

"I don’t need to explain." Tang Zheng couldn’t be bothered with him and strongly retorted, then helped Julia and her daughter up from the ground.

"You’ve gone too far." Danny lost his temper and raised the muzzle of his MG3, pointing it at Tang Zheng, ready to kill him on Leonard’s command.

"Stay on the raft, don’t move." Lu Fan took out a high-powered concussion grenade, pulled off the safety pin, and prepared to throw it. The fuse has a time delay of a few seconds before it would explode.

A group of conquerors froze, looking at the little lolita with a shocked expression, her threat still lingering in their ears, "Danny, this toy might not kill others, but for someone like you who is only wearing B-class protective clothing, it’s enough."

"You..." Danny was thoroughly underestimated, and especially by such a little lolita. He could not save face and almost couldn’t help opening fire.

"Don’t be impulsive." Although David was blunt, he understood the situation. The young man from the east was wearing Grade S firefly armour, you may not be able to harm him even after using up ten bullet chains.

"By the way, my protective clothing is also Grade S Firefly." Lu Fan, composed and leisurely extended her finger, unhooked her collar, and then took out her revolver. She pointed it at Danny. The loli was not stupid, she didn’t target Leonard, saving him face.

"Everyone calm down, I believe he would not arbitrarily harm people." Maggie had a favorable impression of Tang Zheng and played the role of the peacemaker, Nicole also quickly explained a few things, not wanting relationships to become hostile.

As for the injured Brant, apart from Natalie who glanced at him once, no one cared about him. Leonard just wanted to seize the opportunity to take Tang Zheng down a notch, but ended up embarrassing himself.

Tang Zheng didn’t care and knew that no one could be harmed by the broken guns they held, otherwise he would have taken out his thunderstorm rifle for guard duty.

After confirming that Julia and her daughter were okay, Tang Zheng didn’t bother to retrieve the rubber boats, took out the electronic map and saw a route was indeed highlighted. He glanced at the lake, hesitating whether to leave first.

"Forget it, let’s do a favor, and ease the relationship a bit." Tang Zheng wasn’t stupid enough to offend everyone. He took up his rifle, aimed it at the lake, waved to them, "Hurry up."

The successful landing of two groups of people built up quite a bit of confidence among the rest. Yet, just as Mars was eight meters away from shore and Miranda nearly thirty meters away, things suddenly took a turn.

A terror crocodile that was over five meters long suddenly burst out from the quiet lake, causing a splash of water as it lunged towards Defoe’s wooden raft.

The high school girl who was rowing the boat with great effort suddenly had her field of vision blocked by a huge shadow. She instinctively looked up only to see the gaping mouth of the crocodile lunging at her.

She didn’t dodge in time and her upper body was swallowed into the crocodile’s mouth. As its jaw closed, its sharp teeth impaled her body, biting her into two parts instantly.

The splashes caused by the bodies falling into the water almost toppled the raft. Joshua and Defoe tried hard to maintain balance, but their eyes were filled with only half of the body of the high school girl, with blood and viscera spread on the raft.

Another crocodile emerged and turned the raft over. The drowning Joshua and Defoe only floundered twice and before they could shout for help, they were dragged into the water by the crocodile, leaving only a bubble. Red blood began to spread in the lake water.

The newcomers on the remaining three rafts were terrified. They didn’t expect they would still not be able to avoid the attack and in a flash, put all their strength into rowing the boat. Even those on guard duty stretched their hands into the lake, paddling to try and move faster.

Tang Zheng aimed at the lake and began a warning shot. As the bullet shot past one to two meters from the raft and dove into the lake, no one felt afraid, instead, they felt a bit safe.

The people on Mars’ raft were too anxious, and as a result, the raft collapsed. Then they all abandoned the raft and swam towards the shore.

Derek, on Miranda’s raft, believed he was physically strong. Seeing that there were only about twenty meters left, he jumped into the water and swam towards the shore. He would only need around twenty seconds to reach the shore. If he stayed on the raft, it would take twice as long.

Jenny immediately cursed. With one less person on the raft suddenly, and Derek leaving by using the force of reaction, the raft almost lost balance. Thankfully, they were lucky and stabilized it.

The two hip-hop youths glanced at each other and swam after Derek. A distance of twenty meters, if they swam with all their might, they would quickly reach the shore.

Arthur and Anthony were at the end, still forty meters away. They were extremely frightened, constantly watching the lake while paddling the boat.

"You row, I’ll shoot." Arsen noticed the dark shape beneath the lake’s surface, and the terror crocodile was indeed catching up. As a result, he dropped the oars, and picked up his rifle.

Clear gunshots rang out as he fired across the lake, hoping to shoo away the approaching crocodile. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
