Chapter 685: Chapter 29: Countless Dead and Wounded

Ruan Feifei’s lightning bolt shot from her index finger hit the Phantom Virus, turning one of its arms into a misty shadow. Unfortunately, it reformed quickly. However, after being hit with this natural attack, it couldn’t be phantom for a few seconds. Hence, Lin Weiguo ruthlessly punched it in the lower jaw. He then took out a military knife in his left hand and rammed it into its heart, ferociously stirring it.

The Phantom Virus’s expression twisted. It watched the old soldier with a ferocious stare. Its hands, holding dinner knives, thrust out—one aimed at the eyes, the other at the throat. But in the blink of an eye, it got dizzy. It was thrown to the ground by the old soldier’s judo move.

Mei Jueye, the driver, and the rest two Japanese ran past, escaping ahead of them.

Lin Weiguo held onto its neck, making its head rotate 180-degrees. There wasn’t a sound of fracture. Lin Weiguo kept calm – he hadn’t thought it would be this easy to kill it. As he was preparing to deliver another blow, the Phantom Virus began to dissolve, gradually turning into a semi-translucent red shadow, escaping from the old soldier’s hands. It then rematerialized three meters away, chasing the four people who had sprinted away.

The Phantom Virus demonstrated intelligence, picking off weaker prey first.

Ruan Feifei was ready to release an electric shock. Seeing this, she immediately stopped, focusing her attacks on the Black Shadow Special Agents who were catching up from behind.

Tang Zheng leaped over the entire staircase and jumped down. He turned the corner, shot behind, and blasting the Black Shadow Special Agents into smithereens.

Just as the six Black Shadow Special Agents were killed, dark spheres began to teleport, scattering all over the building. What came first were the scouts. Upon confirming the presence of their prey, the queen mother started to send out large troops.

Meanwhile, Dantai Zongqi’s temporary camp was also invaded by Black Shadow Special Agents. Seeing the appearance of the black spheres, several Conquerors popped up immediately and started to counterattack with their weapons.

"Everyone, run to Room 2," Dantai roared, commanding the battle. Before this, to prepare for such sudden crises, he and Tang Zheng, being super cautious, had already arranged two escape routes after their discussion.

Close-range melees were the most likely to cause casualties. Therefore, seeing a large number of Black Shadow Special Agents, everyone who could, activated their abilities to strengthen their defense.

Pulling his wife into the corridor, Chu Baichuan didn’t say a word. He threw two hand grenades empowered with abilities. With two loud noises, the entire corridor was immediately enveloped by a flame dragon, leaving only black marks behind. The battered corpses of the Black Shadow Special Agents were strewn all over.

Xu Biyun hid behind the puppet. Only after ensuring her safety, did she start shooting the Black Shadow Special Agents in the head with her Thunderstorm rifle. Lu Fan immediately covered himself with a Sand Barrier. Then, using the Sand Eyeball, he started observing the battle situation. Li Xinlan erected an Ice Wall in front of her.

Bai Guo entered a state of invisibility. No one knew where she was hiding, and due to the gravity rifle, one couldn’t even see the bullet trajectory. However, to everyone’s eyes, the upper half of the Black Shadow Special Agents’ bodies kept exploding, which was obviously her doing.

Qin Yan’s abilities made her fearless of any attack. With her sweeping gunfire, she dropped many Black Shadow Special Agents. One stray bullet hit her chest, but it caused no harm.

Yu Manli and Xu Liangmao hid behind the Ice Wall, not participating in the battle directly. The latter entered the Beastly state, alert and ready.

Yi Ting didn’t fight either, she hid really quickly. As a Conqueror, she was more accustomed to escaping than fighting.

The newbies’ reaction was too slow. But, thanks to Qin Yan and Bai Guo’s strength, the Black Shadow Special Agents were suppressed instantly, buying them time to escape. They weren’t too badly hurt. However, the only unfortunate one was a D-cup female employee. Her thigh had been stabbed by Lu Fan. Because of the injury, she couldn’t exert strength on her legs. After running a few steps, she fell. She was then shot by a Black Shadow Special Agent, leaving her abdomen in ruins.

"Help me!" the D-cup woman, covering her stomach, lay in a pool of blood, weakly begging for help. Her eyes were slowly losing their light.

The other female employees who had successfully sheltered behind the Ice Wall looked at her with a sense of shared sorrow and loss.

In the darkness, Zhou Lie’s team, who were waiting to reap the benefits of the situation, were also attacked. In this world, the queen mother was invincible. Finding enemies was only a matter of time. Moreover, they were unlucky. Because of their small number and carrying the target, they were naturally determined by the queen mother to be the priority target for attack. Hence, she sent out the strongest troops.

Zhou Lie, along with two muscular men in panama hats, entered into an explosive stage, protecting the little boy and their target. They were battling fiercely with the Black Shadow Special Agents. Although the enemy kept dying, Zhou Lie’s expression grew darker.

A Smith Special Agent No.2, a small Boss hidden among them, suddenly attacked. He critically injured "Old Li," who was holding a gravity gun to cover the rear, sending his leg flying. If it weren’t for his Seed Ability, he would have been killed already.

"I’m done for!" Old Li was asking Zhou Lie for help while shooting. But, the latter didn’t look back, pretending not to hear, and continued to charge forward.

"Old Zhou, help me!" Old Li’s face changed drastically; he had a bad feeling.

Old Zhou was struggling. After all, they had a pretty good relationship in the team.

"Don’t be stupid. He can’t live. If we carry him, he will only be a burden. Besides, we need someone to hold off that Black Shadow Boss." Zhou Lie’s eyes were very venomous. He figured out the strength of the Smith Special Agent.

"But!" Old Zhou hesitated, his steps slowing down.

"Think about your family, do you want to die here?" Zhuo Lie was like a devil, each of his words shaking Old Zhou, "You’re not at fault, the decision was mine."

After putting down a black-clad special agent, Zhuo Lie added, letting Old Zhou resign to his fate, "If he really was your friend, in this situation Old Li would have advised you to leave, not walk into danger!"

Old Zhou glanced at Old Li, sighed with a wry smile, and then fled. All he sought was peace of mind.

When Zhuo Lie ran thirty meters out, Agent Smith broke through Old Zhou’s defence, a blade thrusting through his mouth and piercing his brain.

"Get down!" Zhuo Lie warned, pressing the detonator as he held the boy and the target tightly, releasing the Steel Barrier.

Boom, a dazzling fireball rose, setting off the mini-nuclear bomb Zhuo Lie had secretly planted on Old Zhou. The hot shock wave rolled in like a hurricane, sweeping everything around, destroying all the black-clad special agents, except for the sturdy steel door standing unscathed.

"When did you plant a nuclear bomb? How come I didn’t see?" Old Li’s face changed somewhat, and after the death of a comrade, he became even more wary of Zhuo Lie.

"During the skirmish!" Zhuo Lie answered dismissively. He certainly wouldn’t tell Old Li that all the props he had given them were rigged with mini-nuclear bombs, prepared to abandon them as cannon fodder in a crisis and then self-destruct.

As a powerful Conqueror, Zhuo Lie could fully afford the penalty for killing his teammates. But it was delightful when a teammate could make a ’final blow’ with his death and perish together with the enemy.

Zhou Xiong was the only lucky one untouched, enjoying the nightlife in Future City. However, upon noticing the disappearing target icon on the map, his mood dropped and he began to rush toward Dome Garden.

Tang Zheng and others were sprinting in a building filled with black-clad special agents, where a battle could break out at any time, hoping to leave as quickly as possible.

Without a doubt, Wang Jianxing was taken out. As a bully scared of the strong, his heart couldn’t withstand these threats of death. When a group of Dark Balls brushed by, he was running towards the building. Hoping that even if he was beaten, he could apologize to Tang Zheng. But he knew, without the team, death was the only path.

Seeing the Dark Balls on the staircase ahead, he was almost scared out of his wits. He turned around and ran, but froze in a few steps; behind him were the black-clad special agents.

"No, don’t kill me, I surrender!" Foolish Wang Jianxing trembled, raising his hands to surrender to the black-clad special agents whose identities he knew nothing about, not considering what would happen if they weren’t interested in captives.

A black-clad special agent raised the muzzle of his gun. Wang Jianxing’s mind suddenly snapped into focus, and he jumped to the side, but his luck ran out and he was still hit. The lower half of his body was mangled by the bullets.

"I have so many things I haven’t enjoyed yet, how can I die." Falling down, leaning against the wall, Wang Jianxing was full of regret. The next moment, he saw the black-clad special agent on the stairs get blasted apart and, with the last of his strength, he squeezed out two words from his throat, "Save me."

Mei Jueye charged down the stairs, suppressing the black-clad special agents.

It was like falling from heaven to hell. Wang Jianxing’s hopeful expression froze as he watched the classmate he once bullied run past without hesitation, leaving only a contemptuous glance. Feeling bitter and envious, he then felt the burn of his insides. Why did this guy get to live?

The two Japanese rookies and the driver ran past Wang Jianxing. Meiqin and Ruan Feifei ran past, and so did the Old Soldier and Tang Zheng. Nobody stayed. He was a dying man with absolutely no merit to being saved.

"Mei Jueye, you bast*rd!" Screamed Wang Jianxing with his dying breath, as he coughed up blood.

A black-clad special agent chased them, stopping by Wang Jianxing and pointing a pistol at his head. Yet the high school student wasn’t terrified, instead, a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth. He felt a spiritual victory and used this to soothe himself.

"I can make it to heaven, right?" The moment this thought crossed his mind, Wang Jianxing was shot in the head and slumped to the ground, dying a death as pitiful as a maggot’s.

The Phantom Virus emerged from the wall and chased after Mei Jueye since he was in the front. However, the high school student was quite fierce, not waiting for it to approach, turned and fired a burst, scattering it. Yet, as they entered the final passage leading to the parking lot, he also slowed down.

Sly Pang Meiqin immediately halted, not wanting to be the target. The Old Soldier directly threw a Hand Grenade, intending to blow things up first.

Tang Zheng was at the back, and indeed the safest. He left a few grenades on each floor, blowing up

any black-clad special agents, they couldn’t catch up. If there were too many, just blast them with artillery. If he wasn’t worried about bringing down the building, his firepower could have been even fiercer. (To be continued. If you like this work, please consider voting and subscribing on qidian.com.
