Chapter 671: Chapter 18 Full Firepower

Pang Meiqin reacted quickly. From a distance, she saw the densely packed cylinder-type machine police, hundreds of them, completely surrounding the building where Li Xinlan was located. She swerved the steering wheel abruptly, driving the bus into the shadow of a building on the side of the street.

The faint sound of gunshots came over. Clearly, the mechanical police were attacking the building. In the sky, six helicopters hovered continuously, monitoring the enemy’s movements. On the ground, many police cars were coming, and humanoid machine police officers wearing police uniforms, which were obviously a higher rank than the cylinder-type patrol police, appeared. They were armed with heavy firepower, lining up as soon as they got out of the car, ready to launch an assault at any moment.

"They’re doomed. They can’t break through this police force," the young man who acted like an expert said, stroking his chin and giving his judgment. Unfortunately, he had such low emotional intelligence that he didn’t realize his words were inappropriate.

Without Tang Zheng saying anything, Ruan Feifei slapped him across the face. The female host had no mercy, so the slap was powerful, breaking his mouth corner.

"Boss, she hit me!" The young man sought help from Tang Zheng, believing he had a backing. But he just got a rolling of the eyes.

"Can you keep quiet?" Pang Meiqin wanted to deal with him; this young man was obviously gloating over their misfortune.

The middle school student didn’t speak wrongly. We should abandon them and take the opportunity to escape while Li Xinlan attracts most of the city’s police force. Whether rushing to the resistance base or meeting up with others, it will be much safer." Mei Jueye had a cold face, suggesting abandoning two-thirds of the people as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What if we encounter enemies again? Abandon you? Or depend on a waste like you to fight?" Tang Zheng didn’t leave face for Mei Jueye and mocked him. "In my view, ten of you can’t compare to a Bai Guo, not to mention Qin Yan and Lu Fan."

"I’m saying this for the good of the team!" Mei Jueye said righteously, but he also had selfishness. He wished everyone who supported Tang Zheng would die, making it easier for him to overthrow Tang and kill him. The fewer people there are, the more Tang Zheng would have to pay a large price to survive, which would definitely cause injury. At that time, he could succeed in a sudden attack.

"Mei Jueye is not wrong. Small indulgences lead to chaos. What’s most important for us now is to find the base of the resistance." Yu Wei seemed anxious. He was obviously unwilling to go and die, urging Tang Zheng to leave.

"Put away your tricks!" Tang Zheng glanced at the crazed high school student, then stared at Yu Wei. He didn’t expect this young man to say such words, his expression darkened. "Don’t you want your girlfriend?"

"Well, yes. If it were me in there, I would hope that she wouldn’t do something stupid like risking her life to save me, but to leave. As long as she is alive, I will be happy." Yu Wei argued shamelessly without guilt, reaching a new low.

"You’re really a piece of trash. I feel sorry for that woman." The teenager known as Middle Finger flipped Yu Wei off with a hearty gesture.

"You’re asking for it!" Yu Wei was older and felt that he could bully Middle Finger. Naturally, he did not want be belittled. His anger, which had been accumulating for more than a day, finally erupted. He grabbed the collar of Middle Finger’s clothes and slapped him in the face.

Middle Finger refused to be hit and started to fight back, but his body was too small and his strength too weak. He suffered a great loss. After several rounds, he was suppressed and Yu Wei pinned him to the ground and started to beat him up.

"Boss, save me." Middle Finger clutched his head and cried for help, kicking his legs frantically in a sorry state.

Tang Zheng got up and kicked Yu Wei on the shoulder. Yu Wei rolled a few meters away and hit a seat. He stood up huffily, glaring at Tang Zheng, but less than five seconds later, he softened and turned his eyes onto Middle Finger.

"Say another word, and I’ll beat you to death!" Yu Wei spat his saliva and sat on the chair.

Tang Lu covered her mouth, stunned not only by Tang Zheng’s violence but also by the callousness of Mei Jueye and the others.

"Call your friend and ask how they’re doing." Tang Zheng took out the radar, looking at the designated rendezvous point on it, and fell into thought.

"Meiqin, Ruan Feifei, you two go to this location and wait. I will go to save them." Tang Zheng would never give up on Qin Yan and the others. Now he regretted not bringing a strong teammate with him so he could hand over Tang Lu with reassurance.

"No, we’ll all stay together. We’ll stay here and wait for you." Pang Meiqin shook her head furiously. If they encountered those black-clothed special agents again, she wouldn’t have the confidence to win.

"Exactly, we’ll wait here for you." Tang Lu quickly stated her position. Apart from Tang Zheng, she didn’t trust anyone else.

"No, it’s too dangerous." Mei Jueye still wanted to argue.

"Nonsense, it’s more dangerous to stay with you. All of you just think about running away. Can you protect me?" Tang Lu didn’t leave Mei Jueye any face. She clearly remembered how embarrassed these people were when they were pursued by the black-clothed special agents.

"Alright, Tang Lu is up to you, protect her well!" After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he prepared to jump off the bus, but Tang Lu grabbed him.

"Are you mad, going there alone? You should at least take some helpers!" Tang Lu looked at Mei Jueye and Yu Wei, both of whom avoided her stare. They would not partake in such a suicide mission.

"Boss, I’m coming!" The middle school student, befitting his eccentric personality, thumped his chest and rose. Despite a swollen lip and bloodstains, plus an absurd look of yellow hair and earrings, Tang Zheng was somewhat moved in that moment.

The teenager’s legs were trembling, visibly fearful, but he didn’t back down.

"Watched too many 90’s gangster movies, huh? This isn’t the way to die." Tang Zheng laughed as he ruffled the middle schooler’s hair, then turned toward Yu Wei and Mei Jueye. His voice dropped. "Keep Tang Lu safe for me. If any of you flee, I will make you wish you were dead."

Tang Zheng charged off the bus and darted quickly towards a nearby building. He slipped into the shadows and quickly found a sniping spot. He set up his Gauss sniper rifle and took aim at a hovering helicopter.

In order to kill with one shot, Tang Zheng loaded his rifle with an energy beam magazine. A fist-sized ball of white light gathered at the muzzle and shot out. With a boom, it pierced right through the helicopter, turning it into a fireball as it plummeted to the ground.

A few mechanical police, unable to escape in time, were caught in the explosion, shrieking as they turned into scrap metal.

Tang Zheng quickly pulled the bolt and fired another shot. After blowing up another helicopter, he swiftly changed positions. As expected, the mechanical police quickly adjusted, deploying some of their forces towards his hideout. One helicopter even turned around and fired a rocket at his last position.

Watching the searing flames rise and a corner of the building collapse, Tang Lu’s face turned pale.

"Could he be dead?" With so many mechanical police surrounding him, Tang Lu didn’t think Tang Zheng could survive.

"He hasn’t even shown all of his tricks yet!" Pang Meiqin squatted on the floor of the bus carriage, exposing only her head as she stealthily evaluated the surroundings. She was always careful, uncaring of others’ ridicule.

Tang Zheng rushed to the second floor, kicked open a door, and ran towards the window.

"Who are you?" A naked man and woman in bed screamed before quickly pulling up the sheets to cover themselves. But the man shut up after his question, for he saw the intruder shooting recklessly out of the window, resulting in a helicopter falling down in flames.

The sound of sirens filled the air. No announcement needed, the mechanical police started shooting at the window. Not only were bullets flying, even RPG rockets with trails of flame were shot, instantly destroying the entire wall.

Seeing the dense squad of mechanical police below, the man and woman on the bed turned pale before turning tail and running, without even putting on clothes. Being mistakenly killed was not part of their plan.

Tang Zheng wanted to save his Iron Hellfire for later. If the enemy got this information, they would send stronger forces next time. However, seeing the approaching police cars, helicopters, and even military vehicles in the distance, he knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

Three seconds later, the Hellfire Armor was ready. Tang Zheng was now encased in a majestic suit of gold and red power armor. Facing the onslaught of mechanical police, he stood his ground, calmly raising his arms. The launchers on his arms and legs popped out, and after locking onto their targets, rocket launchers jetted out, while his shoulder-mounted Gatling Fire God Machine Gun began its rotating roar, spewing bullets.

With a white trail behind them, the rockets tore through the air and slammed into the remaining helicopters, turning them into fireballs. Immediately after, the Gatling gun mowed down the mechanical police below, causing a scene of utter chaos. Amid the cacophonous sound of metal being struck, more than a dozen cylindrical police units exploded. However, Tang Zheng was still unsatisfied with the pace.

The energy beam from his chest shot out, plowing a deep trench in the ground. Any mechanical police that got hit were immediately blown up.

The bullets from the Gatling had little effect on the humanoid mechanical police, so Tang Zheng decisively switched to his palm’s Impact Beam. Beams of white light shot out, instantly triggering a massacre among the police units. Metal parts flew in the air and dropped like rain.

"That’s impossible! He’s just one man, how can he possibly kill so many police units? There were at least three hundred!" Yu Wei’s face was full of disbelief. He was in shock. If he had known that Tang Zheng was so powerful, why would he have played the bad guy and made himself despicable.

"There are still many things you don’t know." Pang Meiqin had been expecting the Hellfire Armor. This was a technological game scenario; it should be usable, after all.

"The boss is indeed mighty, awe-inspiring!" The eccentric teenager was shouting, but Ruan Feifei slapped him again.

"Shut up! Do you want to attract the police?" Ruan Feifei glared at him, her eyes staring intently at the battlefield. She was very curious too.

In the next moment, they saw a swift figure in power armor flying across the sky, forcefully smashing an approaching helicopter.

"Cool, isn’t this Iron Man?" The eccentric teenager watched Tang Zheng’s fearsome slaughtering while drooling all over the place. He, too, wanted to become powerful. (To be continued.
