Chapter 484: Chapter 39: Transgender Captain and Zhang Ying

The one who attacked Tang Zheng was a nearly two-meter-tall black muscular man. Hunger could drive people to do anything. Plus, he might die anytime soon, so he emboldened his minions to act recklessly. One of them threw a punch towards Tang Zheng’s nose, while another attempted to seize Lu Fan’s backpack.

Dodging the punch, Tang Zheng coiled like a tensioned crossbow. Suddenly, his legs sprang into action as he punched towards the muscular man’s chin.

A crisp crack followed. The black man weighing around 180 pounds was launched into the air like a discarded sack, tumbling a dozen meters away.

The man reaching for Lu Fan’s backpack froze in fear. Watching Tang Zheng, his right hand trembled, not daring to make any more moves. Little Lolita huffed, swung her right leg, and delivered a fierce kick into his groin.

The unfortunate man groaned and fell backwards, curling up into a ball with his hands cupping his crotch.

"You dare to steal Lu Fan’s food, careful of a bullet hole in your head!" Lu Fan noticed the flickering glint in the surrounding men’s eyes, implying an intent to fight. He swiftly cocked his gun and pointed the muzzle at the unlucky man’s forehead, then spat disdainfully at the surrounding men.

The soldiers had taken note of the commotion, but none interfered. They were all too busy grabbing their meals. Who knew, this might be their last supper.

"If you want to fight, be quick." Tang Zheng stood up, his wolfish eyes fixed on the crowd. Little Lolita, upon hearing the unlucky guy underneath the gun whimper, swiftly kicked him in the face, knocking him out cold.

Seeing the furious little girl, the men collectively stepped back. They suddenly remembered that Lolita had carried a chainsaw gun weighing over twenty pounds for two kilometers. Similarly to the young man standing next to her, they were both physical freaks. Initially, they thought they could take advantage of their exhaustion, but faced with this outcome, they reevaluated the situation.

Tang Zheng’s attention remained on the five who had the distinctive appearance of Southeast Asians. Two men, two women, and the extra one seemed to be a transgender. Seeing Tang Zheng gaze over, they flirtatiously wink back.

"A transgender?" Dantai almost threw up out of disgust, "Couldn’t afford female hormones when they were younger? What is this neither male nor female business about?"

"It’s Trojan Squad from Thailand, I’ve tangled with them before. The transgender you mentioned is their squad leader." Big-breasted Sister crossed her arms, her tone filled with bitterness. Her three teammates had died at their hands.

"What luck, we meet again." The transgender Captain sneered at the Vietnamese team in their sharp, strange voice. "Ruan Zhimin, you’re getting more and more shameful. Not only are you a follower, but you’ve let all your teammates die. Does your captain’s title mean you live like a dog?"

The Thai team was on high guard, glaring at Tang Zheng and the others full of hostility. Seeing their large number, the transgender captain’s bold words were to intimidate Tang Zheng into not making rash moves.

"All get lost." Tang Zheng swore with irritation. The crowds made it impossible for him to kill anyone, so he sat back down.

The members of both Trojans heaved a sigh of relief. They were the weaker party, maintaining this stalemate was satisfying enough for them.

The battle had lasted a day. As night fell, the Beastmen not only did not stop, but ramped up their assault. A lieutenant ran over to command the dispersed soldiers to line up, preparing to send them onto the battlefield, just as the frontline collapsed. The noise of the incoming swarm of fleeing soldiers immediately led to chaos.

The lieutenant tried to stabilize the situation, but the transgender captain used the confusion to shoot him dead. The newly reassembled routing soldiers scattered like ants touched by boiling water, fleeing towards the small town.

"Don’t lose sight of each other, stay close." Tang Zheng pulled out a Tactical Flashlight and pointed the torch to guide everyone. For some reason, both the Vietnamese and Thai Trojan teams tagged along, annoying like chewing gum.

After running about five hundred meters, Chu Baichuan was so exhausted he had to lean over and, consequently, Ai Yixin ended up in Tang Zheng’s embrace again.

"Are you okay? Does your stomach hurt?" Chu Baichuan asked from the side, his heart aching so that it felt like spasming. The baby in her belly was his.

Ai Yixin shook her head, not wanting her husband to worry. She sneaked a peek at Tang Zheng and found that he looked serious, with no impure thoughts. Only then did she calm down and realise she might have been too suspicious of his intentions.

The relentless running combined with a day of intense fighting left Tang Zheng feeling fatigue, inhaling heavily, indicative of his not-so-great condition. As for the others, they felt even worse. These few days, they had been half-starving. Aside from Dantai, who had undergone intense training since he was a child, even Qin Yan was having a hard time.

Little Lu Fan gritted his teeth in perseverance, not making trouble for Tang Zheng. Pang Meiqin and Li Muqing, among others, were filled with jealousy. Having a pregnant woman in the group was clearly a burden, why bother doing it? To drag everyone down to death?

"Tang Zheng, you shouldn’t waste your strength here," Pang Meiqin couldn’t help but speak out. Tang Zheng was like a hero character in real-time strategy games, if he fell, the annihilation of their team would only be a matter of time.

"Where’s Zhang Ying? Fallen behind? Let’s rest for two minutes here, I’ll go check." Tang Zheng put Ai Yixin down, and started to walk back. As he passed by Dantai, he was grabbed, "Are you starting to be foolish again?"

The surviving members of the other two Trojan squads looked at Tang Zheng, thinking that he was a fool, always doing hard and thankless tasks.

"It won’t take long, we can’t just leave her behind, can we?" Tang Zheng pulled away Dantai’s hand and chased after her. Tang Zheng was no fool, he would look back every five or six minutes to ensure that no one lagged behind. Now that he didn’t see Zhang Ying, it meant that she’d only be about four hundred meters behind.

Watching Tang Zheng leave, the newbies felt a mixed amount of admiration and helplessness. They all wished he would put this kind of effort on them. Li Muqing even tightened her protective clothing around her body knowing without it, she would have definitely been left behind.

Zhang Ying had expended all her strength, her feet collapsing beneath her as she fell to the ground. Her cheek pressed against the mud, a wave of fatigue surged straight to her head, making her want to sleep. But all of a sudden, a large hand landed on her body, causing her to shiver in fright. She looked back in horror to see three young men squatting next to her, touching her thighs and buttocks.

"What are you doing? Get away from me." Zhang Ying thrust her legs twice but was restrained by them holding down her ankles. One of the boys took out a bundle of clothes to gag her while another grabbed her arm. Together they dragged her into the tree forest beside the road.

The highway and its surroundings were crowded, but in the darkness and the chaos of the fleeing crowd, no one had the leisure to mind other people’s business. A few people noticed the young men kidnapping Zhang Ying, but the fact that they were armed compelled them to consider the consequences of playing hero.

"If you can have a woman before death, it’s worth it." The boy holding Zhang Ying’s ankle stared at her flat belly and silk stockings, a ferocious look on his face.

"Sister, let me sleep with you one time, don’t shout, I won’t hurt you." A timid boy with panic on his face looked around frantically. When he saw Zhang Ying glaring at him, he started crying and pleading, "I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die a virgin."

Zhang Ying was very unlucky. Despite days without a proper bath, her well-maintained skin still seemed more attractive than the lower-class women in this world, and she had torn off her OL skirt in order to travel more conveniently. Now dressed only in her underwear, she had provoked the three virgins.

"Here we are. We’re screwed anyway, might as well go nuts once." The boy holding Zhang Ying’s ankle bent down to lick her thighs, but was kicked away. Enraged, he grabbed her collar and slapped her across the face, dazzling Zhang Ying with stars in her vision.

"What are you dummies waiting for? Get to work." The boy quickly tore off Zhang Ying’s blouse.

Zhang Ying, now in tatters, stimulated the other two boys, their breathing became heavier. Once they decided to let go, they really didn’t hold anything back.

A few more young men noticed the situation and boldly approached. They figured the beastmen would take some time to arrive, so they wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"No need to fight over it, there’s plenty for everyone to take turns." The boy’s face flushed with excitement. But just as he finished speaking, he saw a foot charging at his face. Before he could dodge, it smashed into his face.

His nose broke from the kick, fragments of bone piercing his brain. The sharp pain spread throughout his body, so excruciating that he wet himself.

Tang Zheng felt something was wrong when he couldn’t find Zhang Ying after running 400 meters. Seeing some young men dashing into the roadside trees, he decided to check, and what he saw was a detestable scene.

There were a total of sixteen men gathered here. When they saw Tang Zheng in a rage, they were startled, but their courage grew with their numbers and they started throwing out obscenities. Some even lunged at him for a desperate brawl.

Tang Zheng didn’t hold back. He seized a man’s foot that tried to kick him, and immediately followed with a kick to his ankle, the sound of fractured bones echoed in an instant.

Knees, noses, necks, all were within Tang Zheng’s attack range. Within five seconds, these few men who attacked first were all crumpled on the ground, their bodies twisted in grotesque ways. Even if they survived, they would be severely disabled.

The others were scared. The two young men holding Zhang Ying quickly let go to grab their guns, aiming at Tang Zheng.
