Chapter 342: Chapter 35: Miserable Newbies

"Let’s go, into the Teleportation Gate." Considering the great risk of staying in the Broken town, David clenched his teeth and made the final decision. He was actually quite decisive, but these days, he’d been overshadowed by Tang Zheng. As a result, whenever he encountered a problem, he would instinctively think about what that man would do, which ended up hampering him.

The newbies looked at David, and as they saw him examining everyone, a worrying thought immediately struck them. Indeed, David’s next words made them feel as if they’d fallen into an ice pit.

"Pick a scout among yourselves, or I’ll pick one at random." David’s indifferent tone was devoid of any emotion, as if he was looking at a few pieces of rotten meat. Being the villain, he thought he was stupid to have used himself as the gun. Now was better, none of the newbies could stay out of trouble.

"He’s just trying to shift the blame." Miranda gave a cold smirk at the corner of her mouth. Although she knew what David was thinking, she had no way to refute it under absolute force, and could only comply. "But it won’t be me."

Mars didn’t speak, but hinted to Miranda with his eyes to pick Jack’s father and daughter. Who made them build a wooden raft with Tang Zheng? Everyone else had been on a team before.

"I choose Derek. When crossing the lake, he abandoned us and ran away first," Miranda shook her head, pointed at Derek. A morally obsessive like Jack was good to have around to protect oneself, but a selfish Derek wouldn’t do that.

Waitress Rebecca and the hip-hop couple exchanged views and agreed. Their resentment was still not dissipated. Seeing Derek in trouble gave them a bit of satisfaction.

Mars compromised, Stevenson wasn’t worried about himself, he could force those weaklings to submit with violence; Chris and Rolin sighed in relief.

"What if they had to choose another? I wonder what it would be like?" Danny indifferently voiced the ruthless words, just to show Natalie the benefits of following him.

"Go. Don’t scout around, if there’s no danger near the Teleportation Gate, you can come back. Of course, if you don’t come back, you’ll be our enemy forever." David threatened, and ordered Derek to leave immediately.

Seeing the muzzle pointed at himself, Derek knew he had no choice. Holding his rifle, he begrudgingly entered the Teleportation Gate.

Everyone fell silent. What if he ran away like Tang Zheng? However, that worry only lasted two minutes before it turned into rejoicing. Derek crawled out of the Teleportation Gate.

"There’s no problem, it’s a deserted city on the other side." Derek was full of excitement, gesturing and describing everything he saw.

Three minutes later, David and his group were standing on the street looking at the skyscrapers on both sides. Even though it was still uncomfortable, it was already better than being on the wasteland.

"Uncle, here they come." Hiding on the eighth floor of a hotel and responsible for monitoring the Teleportation Gate, Lu Fan called out to Tang Zheng, who was in the middle of cooking.

"What are they doing?" Tang Zheng was busy making a meat porridge, reminding, "Watch out for the Lens reflection."

"They saw the Tyrannosaurus corpse, but they weren’t surprised at all. Instead of checking around to ensure safety, they quarreled." Lu Fan bit into a piece of chocolate and muttered, "You guys, Natalie is mine, no one can disobey me, stinking Taoist, dare to compete with me for the apprentice."

Lu Fan was bored and started to dub for those people.

"Stop playing around. They must be fighting over which room to live in. Don’t lose sight of them." Tang Zheng signaled that the porridge was ready and gave them the Canned Box. As for the chopsticks, they had to solve it themselves.

However, Jenny and the others had no complaints. Having a bed to sleep in and food to eat was already the greatest benefit. They suddenly felt it was the wisest decision to follow Tang Zheng.

"If it was me, I’d choose the shopping mall. Using its complex terrain can effectively evade enemies." Lu Fan thought these people were really troublesome. "They even quarreled over this issue for three to five minutes, and that too on the Main Street. If they ran into Dragon Bone Natives, they would all be tossed into a pot."

"Then why don’t we live in the mall?" Jenny asked Lu Fan with an innocent smile on her face.

"Because Robert would choose there, don’t forget about the high ground." Tang Zheng didn’t want to meet those people or he wouldn’t have chosen the hotel. "But they might change places. There are a few Natives’ corpses inside."

Just like Tang Zheng had predicted, Robert chose the shopping mall. He wanted to go to the rooftop to observe the surroundings but was scared and ran back to the street by the corpses. Seeing that night was about to fall, he randomly picked an office building close to the Teleportation Gate and hid inside.

They spent the whole night tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Moreover, they were forced by David to stand a night watch. As a result, when they woke up in the morning, they all had dark circles under their eyes.

"No breakfast?" Mars’ stomach growled, he sat with his back against the wall, glaring at David with dissatisfaction.

The newbies all wore similar expressions. At this moment, they especially missed the generous Tang Zheng.

"Want to eat? Hunt a dinosaur yourself. I’m not your nanny." Danny sneered and continued to carefully look after Natalie.

As soon as dawn broke, Tang Zheng was already up and asked Jenny to monitor the streets. The prostitute didn’t complain, after all, she would still be having a hot breakfast.

At seven o’clock, David and his group reappeared in the street and continued their journey, trying to find a few cars to use along the way. However, the harsh weather conditions had filled them with various problems, the best one only managed to run a hundred meters before breaking down.

"These idiots, might as well walk." The thought of having her own Raptor mount made Jenny ridiculously happy. Given her line of work, seeing the misfortune of others naturally gave her some satisfaction.

"Stupid. The cars on the streets may not work, but those kept in the warehouses should at least not be damaged by the rain, right?" Lu Fan rubbed his eyes and walked to the window. Seeing David and the others start walking, he was dumbfounded. "They can’t be stupid enough to not consider that. Taking a few cars from the hotel’s underground parking lot, they should be able to assemble at least one."

"They’re probably too nervous to even think right now. But they should remember by this afternoon at the latest. Sometimes habitual thinking can really hurt." Thinking of Miranda, Tang Zheng didn’t think she would be stupid to this extent. Besides, he wanted cannon fodder to drive, which increases survival rates and allows them to travel further. Otherwise, if they were caught by the native cavalry, at least half of them would fall.

"Uncle, aren’t you going to blow up the teleportation gate?" Lu Fan was a little frustrated, "Three gates per person, how long will this take?"

"You guys keep watch. When you see my signal, you can come down." Tang Zheng stuffed the telescope into Kailin’s hands, picked up the rifle placed at the door, and went out.

"Me too." Lu Fan ran to the door, turned back and said, "Don’t worry, we won’t leave you behind."

Julia, who didn’t care about any of that, chased after them with Demi in her arms. Jenny wanted to go too, but was held back by Kailin.

"If we all leave, who will keep watch?" Kailin’s face was full of anxiety. "We will be reprimanded."

"That bitch Julia, I hope she dies soon." Jenny cursed, unwillingly taking the telescope, and complained, "They’ve already gone more than two hundred meters, what the hell are we supposed to be watching?"

Tang Zheng saw Julia catch up and just slightly frowned. He didn’t have time to deal with these things right now. Just as he stepped one foot outside the door, a flash of blue light flew by the teleportation gate, startling him back inside.

Leonard’s figure appeared on the street, his clothes tattered and his Thunderstorm rifle and body covered in mud. He looked extremely miserable. Cursing, he glanced around and hurriedly caught up.

"This guy sure is lucky." Lu Fan was worried, "He won’t join up with David, will he?"

"No, otherwise he wouldn’t be sneaking around." Tang Zheng waited for Leonard to get about seventy meters away, pulled out the Dragon Bone Charger, and quickly ran towards the teleportation gate. He twisted the button in the opposite direction and dropped it on the ground.

Zii, countless blue electric arcs darted towards the teleportation gate, making crackling noises. The spiral clouds suddenly started spinning faster.

"I hope it doesn’t explode." Tang Zheng hurried back. Just as he stepped on the stairs, there was a light explosion, and sparks and black smoke burst from the charger. The teleportation gate disappeared immediately after.

Beep, beep. The electronic sticks of the four people rang out one after the other.

"Congratulations, survivor, for destroying a dinosaur teleportation platform."

"So, as long as we’re within the range, it works." Lu Fan pointed towards the building, asking, "I wonder if Jenny and the rest have completed it."

"It’s better not to ask." Tang Zheng warned as he entered the building and led the raptor that was locked in some room out. On the other hand, Lu Fan went to the street and waved to the window on the eighth floor.

The two women who couldn’t wait any longer rushed down immediately. Seeing Tang Zheng, they were immediately full of excitement and expressed their thanks. It was obvious that they received the hint about the destruction of the teleportation gate.

"Let’s catch up." It was a sure thing to move forward along the glowing route. Although Tang Zheng didn’t want to rush so soon, he had to take the risk for fear of missing something.

Until noon, David and his group hadn’t encountered any danger and even found another teleportation gate, but unfortunately, they didn’t have a Dragon Bone Bomb to destroy it.

"Tang must have found a way to destroy the teleportation gates, right?" Danny grumbled, "Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left."

"Then why is this one still here? Could it be that Tang is hiding behind us?" Being a policeman, Mars was quite sharp.

"Maybe he’s hoping to steal a march on us. Wouldn’t we find out if we go back and check?"

"Who wants to waste their strength? And if they want to hide, you wouldn’t be able to find them." Stevenson cursed. The thought of being used as bait made them feel sick.

"The bomb should be on the Dragon Bone Natives." Robert remembered the bodies from yesterday. "Maybe Tang isn’t behind us but is killing the natives instead. Otherwise, how could we be this safe?"

"Right, a strong survivor like Tang would definitely want to complete the task early. After all, everyone has a quota of three teleportation gates to destroy." Nicole finished talking, then suddenly pointed to a place a hundred meters away on the street, saying, "Could those be the Dragon Bone Natives?" (To be continued.
