Chapter 465: Chapter 23 Samurai Sword, High School Girl

Tang Zheng leapt out like a tiger unleashed, instantly releasing Gravity Suppression. The Vietnamese man holding the rifle suddenly felt as though the air weighed ten thousand pounds, his knees buckling under the weight. As they hit the hard cement ground, the Vietnamese rookie let out a heart-wrenching wail - his kneecaps had been smashed.

Tang Zheng didn’t wait for the Vietnamese man’s upper body to fall to the ground. He dashed past him, grabbing his face with one hand. Using his inertia, he brutally smashed the man’s skull into the wall, painting it with a macabre display of blood and brain pulp.

Tang Zheng didn’t let go. As if using the newbie’s face like a rag, he smeared a streak of blood on the uneven wall, leaving behind tiny bits of skin and mutilated flesh.

The fleeing rookie managed to utter a single scream before Gravity Suppression threw him onto the steps. Desperately, he tried to crawl away, trying to escape from the butcher. However, it was impossible.

"I’ll leave your body intact." Tang Zheng tossed aside the Vietnamese rookie’s corpse, picked up the missed knife, and impaled it into the back of the rookie on the ground. After stirring it around, he pulled it out.

Two native soldiers cursing about the noise below came down just in time to witness the bloody scene. Stunned, they tried to pull back their gun bolts, only to topple over the stairs in the same manner.

Tang Zheng sighs, covering their mouths with one hand and cutting their throats with the knife in the other. The blood sprayed directly onto him, but he managed to avoid getting it all over him.

Leaving behind two twitching corpses, Tang Zheng resurfaced.

"What’s all the noise? If you want to fight, do it outside. Are you trying to keep us from sleeping?" The old soldier grumbled, lifting the blanket. He smelt the strong scent of blood and instinctively reached for the rifle next to him but was suppressed and thrown onto the bed before he could react.

Tang Zheng found a rope to tie him up and interrogated him for information.

"I’ve told you all I know, please spare me." The old soldier pleaded, inwardly cursing at himself for not being careful. He knew this man was ruthless -- he was certain that he had sent those rookies to meet their maker.

"I never said I would spare you." After a moment of hesitation, Tang Zheng decided that keeping the old soldier would be dangerous. He was about to kill him when the man pleaded that he had a wife and children, and Tang Zheng’s knife halted at his throat.

"Keep an eye on the basement for me - if there’s a Beastman attack, headbutt the wall." Tang Zheng found a piece of rag to stuff into the old soldier’s mouth before he hoisted him up and threw him into the basement.

For now, it was safe. Tang Zheng didn’t rest. He collected all the ammo clips, retrieved the bullets, and refilled all six clips. Then, he picked up the old soldier’s Chainsaw Gun, disassembled and put it back together, and fired twenty shots to thoroughly calibrate and familiarize himself with the weapon before finally being able to relax a little.

Chewing on a piece of the old soldier’s black bread, Tang Zheng observed the situation outside through the firing hole. If the small fort wasn’t taken down, the next food supply would arrive in two days, delivered by the logistics soldiers.

"The others must be in trouble by now." Since the garrison was at the very front of the frontlines, Tang Zheng had virtually passed most of the forts. He remembered who was stationed where. Instead of taking immediate action, he decided to wait until nightfall.

In the dangerous environment, the conquerors needed a safe environment to recuperate. After familiarising themselves with the terrain, they relied on their Seed Abilities and experience to launch a surprise attack on the fort. The forts occupied by rookies were safe for now, although they remained wary of each other.

Gao Yu was lying on the bed, leisurely listening to his MP3 and eating military canned food. As for the others, they had all become corpses that he discarded into the basement. He had already been itching to kill. He also found that as the number of people he killed increased, the supplies he could retrieve from the Space Backpack also increased.

Tang Zheng’s team of rookies also lost more than a dozen members. The most significant loss was Dong Bai. This gym teacher was proud of his physical prowess and Sanda training. He didn’t join the team of old soldiers devoid of Southeast Asians immediately like Zhang Hongtao and Sun Bowe did. Unfortunately, he ran into a conqueror.

The battle was one-sided. The small-statured Vietnamese conqueror killed six people, including an old soldier, in just one minute. Seemingly dissatisfied with the plainness of the wall, he skewered their skulls onto sharp wooden stakes and nailed them onto the wall.

Dong Bai paid the price for his arrogance and conceit. He was being hung to wind-dry like a piece of cured meat.

"I should set a few traps and contact Ruan Zhimin in the meantime." The conqueror was cautious, starting to set traps nearby.

Tang Zheng realised that all his weapons had been weakened to varying degrees after entering this world, and their usage was also limited. As a result, he picked up the Chainsaw Gun and, as night fell, slipped out of the fort and ran towards his intended target.

The nearest fort was a hundred meters away, its bright searchlight continuously rotating in a fan shape, monitoring the battlefield ahead. Seeing that he couldn’t approach stealthily, Tang Zheng decided to approach openly.

"Got anything to eat? I’m starving." A simple greeting from Tang Zheng relaxed the soldiers in the fort.

"We’re still hungry, don’t wander around tonight. Get back quickly." The old soldier reprimanded and told him to shove off.

"Hot water, I’d be fine with some hot water." Tang Zheng made a helpless face, walked into the bunker, gave a cursory sweep around. There were four individuals present, none of whom he recognized, so he simply unleashed gravity suppression and started the chainsaw, chopping at their bodies.

"There’s none, now scram." The old soldier finished cursing, then realized something was wrong. How could a newbie have such good firearms? Just as he was about to raise his gun for caution, the gleaming chainsaw of the opposite side came spinning over.

The old soldier’s body was split in half and a big splash of bright red blood spilled from his broken waist. The other newbies were terrified but their bodies involuntarily fell to the ground. Unable to retaliate, they were sawed into two sections by Tang Zheng.

Three soldiers holding guns on the ground rushed up. Tang Zheng, who was originally hiding at a blind spot against the wall, darted out and sawed at them from the rear lateral side. Under the gravity suppression, the newbies couldn’t fire at all and could only wait for death helplessly.

"Only two Vietnamese, what a loss." Checking the corpses and collecting the usable supplies, Tang Zheng threw the corpses underground. After arranging the scene as though it was infighting, he started hunting the second target.

Tang Zheng was not stupid enough to clean up all bunkers. Instead, he sporadically chose targets. Even if discovered, the military department wouldn’t know who did it and he could also buy time to allow for the cooldown of the Seed Ability.

No one would suspect humans, so Tang Zheng, using the same old trick, took out two fortifications. When he bumped into three friendly newbies, he took them all out.

The three newbies had bruised noses and swollen faces, obviously being beaten up. Exhausted and hungry, they were in a bad mood. Thus, after entering the fourth bunker and Tang Zheng completely controlled the situation, they began to massacre the soldiers. The methods were so brutal, it somewhat chilled Tang Zheng to the bone.

"War indeed turns people into wild beasts, especially when there are no legal restraints." Tang Zheng merely uttered a remark. The newbies becoming bloodthirsty and murderous better suited his interests, and was much better than leading a bunch of wimps.

At the fifth bunker, what Tang Zheng saw were a pile of corpses. The supplies had been taken, it was obvious that somebody else was doing the same thing as him.

"That’s enough, it’s time to go back." Looking at the sky, Tang Zheng decided to retreat. He didn’t want to take the fall for someone else’s actions.

"Group Leader, let’s do another one." A newbie with eyes full of blood strands was shoving bread into his mouth with blurred words, "Isn’t it said that killing newbies can increase points? I want to accumulate enough to go home."

"No more bullshitting, listen to the Group Leader." Having witnessed Tang Zheng’s power, the other two newbies started following his lead. They didn’t mind flattering him to gain his favor.

Ten minutes later, Tang Zheng returned to his garrison. Just as he was thinking of making a bit of noise to divert the blame onto the other group which was also doing the dirty work, the three newbies who entered the bunker cheered up in excitement.

Rushing to the entrance, Tang Zheng saw two long-haired schoolgirls in Japanese high school uniforms kneeling on the ground. A samurai sword was placed on their knees. Seeing the three newbies enter, they put their hands on the ground deferentially and greeted them in Japanese.

"Group Leader, is this a reward?" One newbie was looking at high school girls’ fair thighs and their black knee-length stockings. The adrenaline that hadn’t been depleted even after killing people immediately excited him. Without hesitating much, he walked over quickly and reached out towards their chests.

"Stop." Tang Zheng’s words were too late. The two high school girls suddenly got up, drew their swords, and a white flash zipped through. The newbie’s half arm flew onto the roof. Then, his screaming stopped abruptly as a bloodline soaked through his upper body and, like a cake cut by a sharp knife, slid onto the ground.

The remaining two newbies retreated quickly and opened fire at the same time. But the bullets hit the breasts of the high school girls and caused no damage. The next moment, they were beheaded on the spot.

"A new Punishment Squad?" Tang Zheng discarded the chainsaw gun, drew out the Dragonbone Curved Blade and Bronze Sword. The two high school girls didn’t reply but yelled and chopped at Tang Zheng.

There’s limited space inside the bunker, making dodging impossible, Tang Zheng immediately backed out. The high school girls were faster than him so running was not a wise choice; he had to kill them.

The high school girls knew about the protective force of the Fireflies, so they mainly attacked Tang Zheng’s head. Although he was fine for now, his face got mutilated, with several blood stains on his cheeks. But they were also not faring better. Several wound marks were chopped onto their bodies, the school uniforms were torn, revealing the fair skin inside.

Tang Zheng’s only advantage was endurance. He was discouraged that even against these female high school soldiers from the Punishment Squad his strength didn’t seem to be enough. He ventured a desperate try, took a sword on his body and chopped a high school girl in half from the chest.

Tang Zheng discarded the bronze sword, and bare handedly seized the blade of the high school girl’s samurai sword, and with a swing, chopped towards her skull. She leaned back to dodge, and simultaneously kicked his lower body.

Tang Zheng released the sword, grabbed her ankle, and chopped down the Dragonbone Curved Blade in his other hand. Immediately, one of the high school girl’s thighs landed in his hand. Despite being heavily injured, she still tried to fight back. Tang Zheng kicked at her chest forcefully. (To be continued.
