With Pang Meiqin at the helm of the tank, they accelerated across a distance of four hundred meters. During this time, Tang Zheng fired seven shells, none of them missing their target. The scorching shells struck the tanks like divine hammers, punishing them.

The robot shooters fought back. A dozen tanks shook, and each muzzle fired a burst of flame. The blasts around Tang Zheng’s tank caused gravel to splatter everywhere. Some parked cars were hit and exploded into fireballs, spinning out of control.

"Fire! Fire!" Lu Fan’s face turned red with excitement. He kept jabbing the firing button with his small, clenched fist. However, his aim was poor, and three of the shells missed their targets, striking the roadside instead. They only managed to destroy a few cars, causing a ball of fire.

Bai Guo was sweating profusely, focusing entirely on operating the fire control system. Though he only fired three shells, each hit its target with perfect accuracy.

"Good job." Qin Yan praised before swiftly steering the tank to avoid an exploding shell nearby. The shockwave from the blast surged like a tidal wave, causing the tank to shake continuously.

"Fire, we can’t fire less than Tang Zheng." Zhuo Lie, driving the tank, yelled at Zi Xin in the tank’s turret. He wanted to redeem some dignity, he couldn’t let Tang Zheng surpass him in everything.

"Stop, stop it, we’ll get hit and blown up." Chen Hong, sitting inside the armored vehicle, viewed the landscape through the firing port. She watched shells continuously explode nearby, covering her ears as the deafening roars assaulted her senses, threatening to rupture her eardrums.

"Hold on, we’re going to flip!" Even Yu Manli couldn’t withstand the violent shaking of the tank. The fast-paced drive, coupled with the roadblocks composed of the remains of vehicles and broken stones, caused the tank to shudder each time the treads rolled over them. At times, the tank would leap as high as three meters. The front of the tank constantly lifted and fell, causing everyone’s stomach to churn. Xu Liangmao and Jing Xiang even threw up.

Cheng Cheng being small, couldn’t hold on for more than a few minutes. Unable to secure a grip on the chair, she fell headlong into the carriage. Just as she was about to hit the metal armor, Lin Weiguo, who had lost an arm, swiftly caught her.

"Be careful." Tang Zheng shouted, he knew how worthless Dantai’s death would be if he were killed by a rocket shell. But he also couldn’t spare any concern for him. "Meiqin, plow through!"

Pang Meiqin didn’t dare disobey Tang Zheng’s orders. She eyed the burning scraps of steel about twenty meters ahead, the tanks casually scattered about, and the turrets creaking as they aimed at them. For some inexplicable reason, the beautiful-legged stewardess didn’t feel a shred of fear at that moment. Instead, a thrilling excitement spread from her feet and covered her back, causing her nerves to tingle with excitement.

"You should be careful, we are about to collide." Dantai Zongqi was surprised to see that Tang Zheng didn’t decrease their speed. Instead, he charged directly into the group of tanks.

Without any hesitation or retreat, Tang Zheng’s tank plowed straight through the middle of the highway. Having already observed his target and calculated the firing order, Tang Zheng elevated his speed to the limit, coordinating with his neural reflexes to quickly lock onto Mother Empress’ Tank and fire a shell.

The turret of Mother Empress’ Tank was turning with a creaking sound as its dark muzzle loomed ahead. Pang Meiqin could even see the imminent beast roaring inside the cannon bore. However, Tang Zheng fired first.

The distance was too close. The scorching shell pierced straight through the armor of the Mother Empress’ Tank, destroying everything inside. The entire turret was blown off.

Without a pause, the turret continued to rotate. Under Tang Zheng’s control, the tank was like a brave general charging into an enemy formation, unstoppable. The 120mm caliber cannon roared again.

A tank was blasted into the sky. Then, in less than three seconds, another on the left was smashed into scrap metal, followed by the third, and the fourth. No Mother Empress’ Tank could stop Tang Zheng’s furious charge.

The three-meter-long cannon was like a lance in the hands of a medieval knight, toppling all the enemies blocking their path!

"So cool!" Pang Meiqin drove the tank at high speed, watching enemy tanks being blown up one after another. Behind them, the burning wreckage and metal parts rained down on the highway like hail. The beautiful-legged stewardess was trembling all over. Amidst the sound of explosions, she was even driven to a climax, discharging a warm fluid.

"How fierce." Watching from the sky, Zongqi Dantai had a clear view of the battlefield. He could see how violent Tang Zheng’s actions were. Though the enemy tanks weren’t easy targets, they had no means to retaliate. Their turrets were quickly rotating, attempting to lock onto Tang Zheng and fire shells in return.

But Tang Zheng’s determination to charge, paired with Pang Meiqin’s exceptional driving skills, let them evade the incoming shells, which grazed the tank and exploded on either side, even damaging their own tanks in the process.

The passengers in the tanks and armored cars behind them watched Tang Zheng’s tank weave through the enemy formations, narrowly evading the shells. They broke out into a cold sweat, and then excitement washed over them. This kind of impulsive charge was indeed awe-inspiring and boosted morale.

"Fire, fire." The soldiers of the Resistance driving the tanks were inflamed with a sense of fervor, also wanting to join the battlefield.

Zhuo Lie looked upset. He knew he had been once again outperformed by Tang Zheng. Honestly speaking, no matter how undaunted by death he was, he knew he couldn’t do what Tang Zheng did. That was just too reckless.

Creaking, Tang Zheng’s tank lifted its front as its steel treads drove over the rear of an off-road vehicle, flattening it. Then, after crashing through a sedan, it broke through the smoke and exited the enemy line.

"It’s past." Tang Zheng reminded, as he operated the turret to rotate backwards and fired again, one shot after another, blowing them all up.

The Mother Empress’s Tank tried to turn its turret to deal with Tang Zheng, but the seven tanks from Lu Fan’s team charged up, covering the area with artillery fire. Although the hit rate wasn’t so high, the firepower was solid, let alone the fact that Dantai was still picking up the slack from the armed helicopter in the sky. In less than three minutes, they annihilated them all.

"Keep moving forward." Without stopping to rest, Tang Zheng grasped the sound pickup to notify the whole team, then leaned back in the seat to check the map, looking for the exact location of the Mother Empress.

"How could I do such a crazy thing? Is it because Tang Zheng is by my side?" After they were safe, Pang Meiqin glanced at the burning wreckage behind them and suddenly felt afraid afterwards, a sense of exhaustion spreading throughout her body.

"Tang Zheng, the Mother Empress is not in the City Hall, but in the Artificial Stadium." Dantai frowned, unsure of this unreliable change.

"I see." After comparing the location of the red dot with the map obtained from the resistance, Tang also came to the same conclusion, "Keep charging."

The figures of mechanical soldiers started to appear, setting up defenses on the highway. Seeing the approaching tanks, they immediately started shooting. The hidden forts also showed their menacing fangs, and the muzzle flames of hundreds of guns flickered.

"RPG!" Lu Fan’s voice sounded through the loudspeaker, and then there was a loud blast. The tank driven by Chu Baichuan was hit. After all, his driving skills weren’t up to scratch, and he couldn’t successfully avoid it. However, the damage wasn’t significant, it just blew a black charred mark on the reactive armor.

Tang Zheng operated two lines simultaneously; the cannon roared and the machine gun never stopped rotating, suppressing the enemy’s defensive line.

Amid the rapid gunfire, 40 mm caliber bullets hit the ground, causing columns of mud to fly up. When they hit the bodies of the mechanical soldiers, they exploded them. However, when the mechanical squids appeared, the advantage of firepower started to wane.

Mechanical squids flew out of the buildings on both sides, stretched out their tentacles fully, opened the suckers, shot out missiles, and the machine guns in their mouths also started shooting. Hitting the tank armor, they made a resounding ding-ding-dang-dang noise, like the rain hitting banana leaves.

Tang Zheng did not wait for the overheated gun barrel to cool down, but continued shooting. He finally tore open a breach, but it was still not safe because there were a lot of mechanical squids on both sides, which could pose a threat to the tanks behind.

"You lead the way." After giving the order to Pang Meiqin, Tang Zheng suddenly lifted the hatch, climbed out, and donned the Iron Hellfire.

Zzz, zzz, a continuous blast of impact beams shot from Tang Zheng’s palm, and like a bumblebee constantly ejecting poison stings, he sequentially blasted the mechanical squids, setting them on fire.

A bunch of bug viruses suddenly emerged from the sewer, taking advantage of the chaos to cause havoc by devouring the mechanical squids, and the Trojan Squad took advantage of this chaos to pass the roadblocks.

There was still three hundred meters to the Artificial Stadium. Tang Zheng was hesitating about whether to abandon the fleet and fly ahead to fight when a bullet suddenly shot out. The radar had just issued a warning, and before Tang Zheng could dodge, he was shot in the forehead.

Bang, a high-explosive grenade detonated. Under the hard SS-grade defense, even the flying speed of Tang Zheng did not slow down. He flew out of the explosive smoke.

"It’s Agent Smith." Dantai immediately manipulated the joystick, lowering his flying altitude—if the bullet had been aimed at him, the helicopter would have crashed.

Agent Smith, dressed in a black suit and wearing black sunglasses that covered half of his face, started running furiously and fiercely towards the fleet with an icy expression.

"Don’t waste time on these riffraff, Old Zhou, Old Lin, Yu Manli, you three restrain him." Dantai didn’t allow the absolute war capability of Tang Zheng to be wasted here and ordered him to continue the charge.

"No problem." Lin Weiguo was obedient and hardworking. Although he was short of one hand, he was still dedicated. Upon hearing Dantai’s words, he immediately opened the door of the armored vehicle, released steel from his wristwatch to cover his body, turning into a man made of metal.

Yu Manli took a breath. Even though dealing with Agent Smith was not easy, it had to be easier than dealing with the Mother Empress, right? Old Zhou had no complaints. He had been seriously injured a few days ago and, although he had taken some medicine, recovery still required some time, so he was eager to take on some of the simpler missions.

Seeing Agent Smith rushing towards him, Tang Zheng didn’t dodge, but lowered his altitude, opened the thrusters, and then with a strong punch, he fiercely pounded on his face.

Agent Smith was suddenly like a baseball that had been smacked, tumbling out. Immediately afterward, the fleet drove past him. Yu Manli and the other two jumped down to attack and restrain him.

The team had just stopped in front of the Artificial Stadium when thousands of black-clad agents holding rifles surged out like a tide.

Tang Zheng’s chest energy cannon charged up, then blasted out, tearing a ditch straight into the ground! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly passes at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my biggest motivation.)
