Chapter 563: Chapter 34: Another Two Fall (Third update, ten thousand words)_2

"Take cover behind the bar!" Yu Manli saw a large group of workers blocking the stairs, she couldn’t get into the room to hide, and could only settle for the next best thing, "Don’t mind others, just get the dried corpses up close, keep up the firepower."

Jia Honglang, who was obese and lacked exercise in his daily life, was now reeling from the panicked crowd and unable to stand steady. To add to his misfortune, a ricochet bullet pierced through his calf.

Jia Honglang screamed out in agony as he fell to the ground. Before he could even get up, he was trampled on several times. The old cleaning lady was also knocked down and with a panicked look on her face, she frantically tried to crawl towards Tang Zheng.

In a moment of crisis, the cleaning lady immediately thought of the kind young man who liked to help others.

"Don’t come over!" Tang Zheng, who was fiercely fighting the golden scarab, was hindered by the bustling crowd. Seeing the cleaning lady nearly crawling over, he immediately shouted, but it was too late.

The scarab launched its body slam attack again, leaping into the air and then smashing down on the cleaner’s body.

Tang Zheng quickly took out the Terminator, and six bullets hit the scarab, but the monster’s momentum was too great and the stopping effect did not work at all.

Bang, the scarab fell down, crushing the old cleaner’s legs. Blood and flesh splashed out, and her severed upper body was flung away.

Watching the cleaning lady’s upper body, dressed in a washed-out yellow vest, flying in the air before falling down like a lump of dirt, Tang Zheng seethed with anger. He put away the Terminator, took out the Snowdai-maru and Dragonbone curved knife, and jumped towards the scarab.

"The warrior has appeared!"

As soon as the ancient warrior, shrouded in a mist of pale red blood, appeared on the scene, he threw his warhammer at the scarab which was leaping into the air again. It was bombed down, flipped over on the ground, and Tang Zheng pounced on it, slashing the Snowdai-maru and the curved knife into its body.

It’s all Silver Trojan’s fault. Why should people who have died once have to experience death again? Why does it give everyone a glimpse of hope and expectation for survival, only to snatch it away randomly?

"Are we really just toys?" Tang Zheng was filled with deep resentment over his own powerlessness. The idea of getting rid of the Trojan had never been stronger.

The curved knife did not carry a spiritual power attack, so it did not penetrate the armor. However, the Snowdai-maru slashed into its body, and red blood splashed out, sprinkling his face. Tang Zheng withdrew the curved knife and switched to the double-bladed Slaughter Axe to strike again. Another foot deep crevice was opened.

The scarab screeched, turning abruptly to slam Tang Zheng away. Then it was hit on the back by the warrior’s warhammer, it’s entire body buried into the ground.

Lin Weiguo released his ability to turn into a stone man, crashing into the scarab. Xu Biyun’s puppet protected Ai Yixin, Aima, and herself, resisting the impact of the dried corpses. Lu Fan released his ability, summoning a sand barrier to completely seal off the inn’s windows and main entrance.

Chu Baichuan’s hands were on the scarab, consecutive explosions occurred, and the scarab was devoured by clusters of flames. The hot waves swept the lobby, several soldiers and workers directly in front of Chu Baichuan were unfortunately wrapped up by the fire dragon, instantly turning into fireballs, screaming and running around in pain.

"Kill them quickly, or they will start a fire." Having the power made her confident. Yu Manli, who once controlled a multi-billion dollar company, easily commanded the newbies.

"Wife, save me!" Jia Honglang was pinned down by dried corpses, desperately asking for help.

Yu Manli only hesitated for a moment before she rushed out. She remembered the more than twenty years she had spent with this man. Although full of quarrels and cold wars, full of his betrayals, in times of danger, Yu Manli still wanted to save him.

"Wife." Seeing his wife rushing out, seeing Hu Xiaoyan shrinking behind the bar, not even glancing at him, Jia Honglang suddenly wanted to cry. He felt that he had wronged his wife too much over the years, but he was powerless to reach out, and the dried corpse bit into his neck.

Boom, Yu Manli knocked the dried corpse off her husband with a strike, but the corpse’s teeth had a tight grip, tearing down the flesh and the trachea on his neck.

Blood gushed out, instantly soaking half of Jia Honglang’s body.

"I ... I, love ..." Jia Honglang’s heart was filled with regret and apology. Tears filled his eyes, so much so that he couldn’t even see his wife’s face clearly. He remembered the three words he had said to his wife when he proposed. But now, he couldn’t utter them anymore.

Watching the face of her husband, Jia Honglang, die—a face so familiar to Yu Manli, she let out a mournful cry, lifted his body, and returned to the bar.

Little Lolita had sealed off the lobby of the inn, forcing the dried corpses to swarm from upstairs. The workers and soldiers who had been hiding upstairs were immediately in trouble, engaged in fierce combat. However, this bought some time for the Central Hammer Squad.

Boom, the scarab that Tang Zheng had hit too hard, saw him as a formidable enemy and plummeted from high altitude five times in a row, aiming for him. Within seconds, the ground was all shattered, the splattering stones bruising their bodies.

Inevitably, Tang Zheng couldn’t dodge them all and was partially buried beneath the scarab. However, the firefly heroically stepped in once again, although the stabbing pain that followed was like a truck running over his thigh.

However, Tang braced himself, cut open the body of the scarab with his saber, pulled out a few spirit energy cluster remote-controlled bombs, and shoved them in, his entire arm moist with bloody and bodily fluids.

The scarab leaped up and fell again, intending to crush Tang Zheng into a meat pie.

Tang Zheng rolled twice, then used his hands to push off the ground and forcefully leaped out of the way, causing the scarab to miss him.

"Die." Tang pushed the detonator. Green and red lights mixed and overflowed from the scarring on the scarab’s body. Subsequently, amid consecutive roars, it was hurled away, almost half of its body blown away.

The commander’s warhammer struck again, crushing it into the ground. Lin Weiguo and Chu Baichuan rushed up, punching and hitting it repeatedly.

The scarab let out a pitiful cry. After its head was smashed by the commander, its body immediately emitted a cloud of black mist, and countless black scarabs separated from its body and scattered in all directions.

"Die!" Chu Baichuan launched his ability, immediately engulfing them in an explosive firestorm.

With a clattering sound, a perfect golden scarab fell to the ground. Lin Weiguo picked it up and tossed it to Tang Zheng.

"It seems like there is big trouble upstairs." Tang glanced at the two dead newbies and was unsure of how to deal with the scarab when he saw that the short-limbed creatures were reappearing from the ceiling and leaping down.

In the lobby now, apart from Tang’s group, only George and five soldiers, Jasons, and his niece remained. The place was empty and no one was running around, so they quickly disposed of the monsters.

"The golden scarab has been purified and can activate the Book of the Undead." A note fell from the sky again, containing the exact information Tang Zheng had hoped for.

Without any hesitation, Tang quickly pulled out the Book of the Undead and pushed the scarab into the recess of the cover. With a click, the book opened.

"In the name of the queen, purify the dead, let the soul return to nothingness!" A series of ancient Egyptian words flooded into his mind. Tang found that he could actually read the words written there, so he immediately picked one sentence and recited it.

The scarabs that had burrowed into the townspeople’s bodies seemed to react, crawling out of their bodies and retreating, disappearing into the darkness.

The unconscious townspeople collapsed to the ground, regaining their breath, though they were so emaciated that no one knew how long it would take for them to recover.

"The fight has stopped!" Chen Hong let out a deep sigh of relief and slowly crawled out from under the bar.

Lu Fan took down the desert barrier and moonlight immediately poured in from the main entrance and windows.

"Chu Baichuan, it’s one thing for you to smash the scarab, but you directly killed two people." Yu Manli huffed. She still couldn’t let go of her husband’s death, and she knew Tang Zheng detested people without humanity. If she seemed indifferent to Jia Honglang’s death, her character would definitely be questioned.

"I didn’t do it on purpose, and didn’t it get purified anyway? Can’t my deeds offset the wrongs?" Chu Baichuan was also confused about why touching something would bring such bad luck upon him. He walked over, collected the body of the old cleaner, and looking at the lower-half which had shattered into a pulp, he sighed and said to Yu Manli, "I’m going to bury her. Want me to dig a pit for your husband too?"
