Chapter 696: Chapter 40 - Slaughter

Boom, Tang Zheng, flying at an ultra-high speed, was like a sharp military knife, slashing through the forefront Agent Smith, breaking it in half instantly and turning it into an exploding fireball. Then, Iron Hellfire burst out in a dazzling display of destructive power, unleashing all its firepower.

Boom, boom, boom, hundreds of Smith Agents also fired rocket shells during the crossing, putting all their effort into counter-attacking Tang Zheng!

For a moment, continuous explosions rumbled like a violent storm sweeping across the sky, with dazzling fireballs visible everywhere, and the burning iron debris of Smith kept falling.

Tang Zheng’s attack continued. White impact beams shot from his palms, each one, locked onto a target with a radar, hit the mark like arrows shot from a crossbow. The energy cannon in his chest unleashed a white column light extending for kilometers. Anything that came into contact with it would explode and evaporate from the high temperature.

A few stray rocket shells broke out of the explosion barrage and clung closely behind Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng didn’t even bother to glance at them, he stopped abruptly and then changed his trajectory to shot upwards. Relying on the outstanding mobility of Iron Hellfire, he drew a ninety-degree angle in mid-air, followed by a distorted Immelmann turn, and took the airspace above Agent Smith.

Some Smith Agents tried to copy Tang Zheng’s maneuver, but their performance was too poor and their programs lacked the necessary information. Thus, during the maneuver, they either broke apart or stalled, all falling towards the ground. But Smith No.6 could afford these losses, it simply inserted its hand into its chest, grabbed a handful of flesh and blood, and tossed it out. The debris immediately replicated into new Smith Clones.

Tang Zheng, who had adjusted his posture, saw this and immediately locked onto No.6’s main body. With a whoosh, he fired the energy cannon, and two Deadly Moon Blades shot out from the opening of the power armor, spinning like two crescent-shaped white lights, flying towards No.6.

No.6, being a mini-boss, successfully dodged the energy cannon, but some clones weren’t so lucky and were hit directly, causing an explosion.

The two Moon Blades flew over and cut it into three parts, but No.6’s body squirmed and began to heal.

Tang Zheng wasn’t aiming for a one-shot kill, he targeted fully the slowly healing flesh, realizing that the section containing the heart was the origin of No.6.

The two other bodies regenerated in less than two breaths and blocked Tang Zheng’s path. Their bodies, like they had filled up with air, suddenly swelled into spheres with a radius of over five meters.

"Get out of the way!" Tang Zheng flew over, like a siege hammer, directly entering through the belly of the sphere.

Boom, Tang Zheng released six rocket shells and also shot them two palm beams, blowing apart a patch of rotten meat. He wanted to rush out quickly but suddenly found that the flesh wall was thickening, and a sticky and suppressive force began to crush his body.

The flesh density of the sphere Smith was getting bigger and bigger, reaching hundreds of thousands of atmospheres, and it was still increasing. The air was instantly blocked, and some disgusting suction tubes grew from the flesh and pierced into the power armor, beginning to inject toxins. Some corrosive liquids also started to erode the armor surface.

Iron Hellfire’s limit survival mode was immediately activated automatically. If it were an ordinary person, even someone like Zhuo Lie who had experienced more than a dozen Conqueror battles in Firefly, they would die if they didn’t escape within a minute.

All Tang Zheng could see was moving red flesh, extremely disgusting. He wanted to speed up, but the thruster was blocked, and the red-blue flame was spraying intermittently.

"Die!" Tang Zheng was neither worried nor afraid, his expression was fierce, and he released one of Iron Hellfire’s unused killing moves.

Innumerable physical red beams shot out from the power armor, as sharp as knives, cutting through everything in their path. Then, the beams suddenly thickened and extended hundreds of meters.

Tang Zheng’s body started spinning like a whirligig, and those beams instantly became the teeth of a meat grinder, lethal and splendid. Within a few breaths, the flesh sphere that wrapped Tang Zheng was shredded, cut into a pile of minced meat.

The minced meat mixed with fresh blood fell downwards, splattering on the ground with a splat.

Tang Zheng broke out of the flesh wall, and another clone’s flesh sphere continued to expand, trying to imprison him and buying time for No.6’s recovery.

With a hissing sound, Tang Zheng shot past without any hindrance, and the clone was completely shattered by the rotating beam saber.

"It cost twenty energy points, but it was worth it!" Taking a glance at the chaotic scene, Tang Zheng sighed. After all, Iron Hellfire was a limited edition special product from the Trojan Room in the Americas Zone. Besides this set owned by Tang Zheng, there were no others. Naturally, it carried some bottom-of-the-box features, but to drive these, a huge amount of energy was necessary, bought with towering points.

Even someone like Tang Zheng, who earned plenty of points, couldn’t keep up with such consumption.

More than half of No.6’s body had grown again, and some clones were beginning to gather here, conspiring to kill Tang Zheng.

"Get out of the way!" Tang Zheng’s thruster suddenly burst out with 300% power, the thick sky-blue tail fire shot out, and the air near the nozzle was distorted and folded like a mirage due to the intense heat.

Boom, Tang Zheng surpassed the sonic speed again, those clones didn’t even touch his clothing hem, and dozens nearby were torn apart by the sonic boom caused by Tang Zheng’s supersonic flight and fell to the ground like dumplings.

Tang Zheng caught up with the main body, pressed its neck with his left hand, and shot out an impact beam, smashing its head. After being bitten and self-destructed by it once, Tang Zheng didn’t want to experience it again.

Tang Zheng thrust his right hand into its heart and crushed it, and at the same time, his body rapidly fell, pushing it towards the ground.

Boom, a strong impact made the two of them fall into the muddy ground, creating a big pit. It cracked all around, and stones flew up.

Tang Zheng tossed the tattered body of No. 6 to the ground once again. Most of it was already shattered, with only half of its upper body remaining, and a large hole where its heart once was.

"You’re not dead yet?" Tang Zheng observed that the flesh was still writhing, but much slower than before. The cooling periods of his two Moon Blades had ended, and he shot them out, shredding the body into a piece of messy flesh once again.

No. 6, now devoid of its central heart, finally died. It burst with a bang. However, the explosion was not powerful enough to breach Tang Zheng’s Light Defense Shield.

Smith yielded two golden seeds and a black mechanical sphere. Tang Zheng scanned it with his wristwatch.

Mechanical Nuclear Bomb, S-grade artifact, a one-time consumption item, it has an extremely destructive force, ignoring S-level defense, it possesses strong adsorption that once activated, will stick to the target and cannot be separated!

"Such good stuff but I don’t want to use it!" Tang Zheng chuckled, if he used the Mechanical Nuclear Bomb the right way, it could kill Zhuo Lie without any complications. However, it was consumable. If it couldn’t bring enough spoils of war, it would put him at a disadvantage hence he had to use it carefully.

Tang Zheng swiftly took off once again, leaving the battlefield. Thirty seconds later, he landed in a safe location, dismounted his armour, took out the code potion and injected it into his body.

Tang Zheng’s vision blurred, then everything turned black. When he woke up, he found himself floating in a cylindrical container filled with a transparent liquid similar to amniotic fluid, which didn’t hinder his breathing.

Through the container, Tang Zheng noticed that these types of devices were erected everywhere, each containing a human. There were ten or more rows, with thousands of them. Countless wires were plugged into the containers, transmitting the energy generated by these living batteries to the queen.

He launched his Impact Beam to shatter the container and hopped out. Members of the Trojan Squad were already waiting here, on high alert. The young woman with the severed arm was sitting on the side, hugging her daughter, her face pale. Xin Lan was dressing her wound.

"Did the female guide survive?" The driver looked concerned. After glancing at Tang Zheng, he stared at the container containing the female guide.

In addition to this, there were other newcomers who had died!

"She’s dead. She lost her code potion and was killed by Smith again!" Tang Zheng explained briefly and evaluated the surroundings.

The lighting was dim, almost like dusk, and eerily quiet. Most likely, the base’s defenses had gone to repel the Resistance’s attack, hence the Trojan Squad did not encounter any attacks.

"She’s dead. Don’t you see the bubbles have stopped coming out of her mouth? It means she’s stopped breathing." Pang Meiqin blurted out these words purely to annoy Ruan Feifei, concluding that if she hadn’t electrocuted the female guide, she would have definitely survived.

Ruan Feifei humphed and didn’t respond.

The driver glanced at the hostess and moved his mouth, but didn’t dare say anything.

"Coward!" Mei Jueye scolded, deliberately provoking him. He wanted to stir something up, but the driver didn’t take the bait.

"Uncle, did you kill Smith?" Lu Fan asked, deducing that if his uncle hadn’t immediately exited, he must have engaged in a fight with that monster.

"Right!" Tang Zheng nodded. Dantai and Old Soldier immediately gave him thumbs up. The group leader was indeed formidable.

"What did you get?" Pang Meiqin asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Golden seeds and an S-grade artifact."

All the newcomers gasped, especially Yi Ting, who stared at Tang Zheng without blinking and approached him coquettishly, "Can I take a look?"

"Let’s get out of here first!" Tang Zheng pushed her away and activated his radar. "Have you identified a location?"

"We should retreat from the west side, Bai Guo went out to scout the terrain." Dantai also didn’t dare to leave blindly, afraid that triggering an alarm device could call for the enemy and there would be nowhere to cry.

Qin Yan handed over the walkie-talkie to Tang Zheng.

"If we break these containers and let these humans out, could we wake them up?" Tang Zheng didn’t call Bai Guo, fearing he might distract her.

"They will die instantly." Dantai shook his head, he had already tried. He had planned on using these people to create chaos and escape. Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

"Sister Qin Yan, can you hear me? The passage is over here. I see guards, lots of them!" Bai Guo’s low voice came over. Tang Zheng was about to respond when the announcement from Trojan pre-emptively rang from his wristwatch.

"Toys, In ten seconds, the punishment team will arrive. Please prepare to flee or confront, note that this round of punishment is unlimited until all of you or the punishment team are wiped out!"
