Chapter 729: Chapter 71 Collapse and Death

Old Zhou, a conqueror who had survived ten battles, went all out when he saw that Yu Manli and Lin Weiguo were determined to stand by and watch and not save him. Unexpectedly, he found himself fortunate enough to enter the second-order burst state, coupled with the fact that he had injected enhanced reagents and become a ’virus.’ His damage output against Agent Smith was increased, and he managed to kill it in less than two minutes.

"Huff, huff, I’ll settle this with you guys later." Old Zhou panted as he picked up the golden seed, glaring bitterly at Yu Manli and Lin Weiguo.

Old Zhou, who in this moment was shrouded in a red fog, had confidence in his newfound strength. This was a second-order burst state, a level of evolution only a select few conquerors could reach. He felt a tremendous power coursing through his body, confident that he now had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Zhuo Lie.

"We’re ready when you are." Yu Manli was slightly flustered, but Lin Weiguo was fearless and casually uttered four words.

"Hmph, bold. I’ll deal with you guys after I kill the queen. Tang Zheng certainly won’t dare to offend a second-tier conqueror." Old Zhou also recalled the harsh time constraints and rushed towards the artificial stadium. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with the mature women. He needed to kills the queen first.

"Zhuo Lie is a second-tier conqueror, but he’s still suppressed by Tang Zheng." Lin Weiguo occasionally had a sharp tongue. His words made Old Zhou pause, almost causing him to stumble.

"Indeed, are you stronger than Zhuo Lie?" Yu Manli also came to her senses, realizing there was nothing to fear with Tang Zheng’s backing.

"So you’re all talk, huh? Don’t worry, I’ll make you kneel and lick my boots, and you’d better have a smile on your face." Old Zhou looked at Yu’s mature body and her ample buttocks, a violent emotion began to swell in his heart. He had to suppress these pretentious folks and show them the power of a second-order conqueror.

Yu Manli’s expression was unsightly, but looking at the misty Old Zhou, she dared not make a move. All she could do was swallow the insult. If a fight broke out, Yu, who hadn’t even reached the first-order burst state, would be instantly overwhelmed.

"What’s Tang Zheng, what’s Zhuo Lie, they’re all scraps, haha, from now on, I no longer have to act while considering other people’s feelings. I no longer have to make compromises. " Old Zhou laughed wildly, he had the strength to be on par with those two now. Reflecting on the fact that he would soon live a better life in the Trojan World, taking from anyone as he pleased, a pleasure of fulfillment coursed through his body, and his spirits soared.

As Old Zhou runs a few dozen meters, he suddenly starts coughing violently, vomiting blood. The blood touches the ground and immediately begins to erode the surroundings, causing a collapse in space, creating a black hole almost instantaneously.

"What’s going on? I’ve entered the second-order burst, how can I possibly be dying?" Old Zhou’s face was filled with fear. Watching his hands crumble into pieces of crystal, falling to the ground with clinking noises, he went crazy, shouting hysterically, "I don’t want to die!"

Yu Manli’s expression filled with glee, sure enough, Old Zhou had indeed become a potent virus. His fragmented body dispersed into the air, immediately devouring and decomposing everything around him, including the ground, nearby buildings, and the space above him, which resembled a falling mosaic of transparent crystals.

"That’s right, it’s your doing! I’m going to kill you!" Old Zhou came to a grim realization, he lifted his rifle with the intent to shoot at the old solider. But before he could even aim, his arms disintegrated, and the Gauss sniper rifle fell to the ground with a clatter.

"I don’t want to die." His chest and shoulders also began to collapse, watching his body gradually disintegrate, Old Zhou, tears streaming down his face, knelt on the ground.

There was nothing more tragic in the world than gaining power that could fulfill any wish, only to march towards death in the next second.

Yu Manli raised her gun in caution, fearing he would self-detonate in his final moments, ready to shoot at any time. Lin Weiguo also held his handgun, wary of any sudden moves.

"I’ll take you with me." Old Zhou abruptly turned his head, glaring at the mature woman Yu. However, just as he was about to activate his seed ability, his body couldn’t bear the strain of the energy use and immediately shattered into countless crystal mosaics. Then, these mosaics began to self-destruct, causing severe erosion within the virtual world.

"Let’s go, we need to help Tang Zheng." Lin Weiguo, despite having lost an arm, was not going to take advantage of the situation to slack off. He ran and picked up Old Zhou’s wristwatch and Gauss sniper rifle, charging towards the artificial stadium, "We can split the spoils of war later."

"Tang Zheng is too kind to the newbies. If he made more ’suicide viruses,’ the fight would definitely be easier." Looking at the damage caused by Old Zhou’s death, Yu Manli wished that Tang Zheng had injected all the rookies with enhanced reagents.

"Why is my world collapsing?" The queen, after landing a punch that sent Tang Zheng flying, suddenly looked up.

The sky over the stadium flickered, and patches of mottled transparent crystals fell, leaving only a gaping, ugly hole like a scar.

These changes spread throughout the city. The citizens, who had always lived in the virtual world, did not understand what disaster had befallen them. They thought it was the end of the world, and as such, they fell into unavoidable panic. As yet more citizens who had been suppressed for a long time suddenly turned into mobs and began to damage the city in groups, the losses became vast.

A large number of mechanical policemen were engaged in battle with the Dare to Die Team. The few remaining mechanical policemen had no way to control the riot. Once the mobs released their inner beasts, they became bolder and began fighting against the mechanical police.

"Have the enhanced reagents taken effect?" Tang Zheng guessed correctly. With the continual death of the Dare to Die Team, and the release of the virus, destruction was being wrought on the entire virtual world. Especially after the death of the hundreds of soldiers who had been injected with enhanced reagents by mechanical squid, stronger viruses were produced. In the blink of an eye, millions of virus clones were created, decomposing and devouring the entire virtual world.

"You lowly lifeforms dare to disrupt my world, all of you must die." The queen flicked her skirt, her slender legs flashing before they vanished, creating two winds visible to the naked eye. These immediately intensified, filling the entire space, transforming into two tornadoes that attacked Tang Zheng.

The wind blades cut across the body like a knife. Mei Jueye and Yao Feng, who had just run into the passage, were immediately hit. The wind blades sliced through their protective clothing, leaving a dozen wounds on their bodies.

Hellfire was resistant. Tang Zheng’s thrusters fired at maximum power, piercing straight through the two hurricanes. He reached the queen’s side and fired a damage beam from his palm.

The queen raised her hand, and a curved light shield appeared, blocking the attack. Immediately after, she waved her hand, and a dozen black light balls materialized out of nowhere, which then: suddenly shot out towards Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng didn’t plan to resist directly. He released two Moon Blades, and his body paused momentarily, altering direction in a zigzag form. He flew up into the sky at a 90-degree angle, dodging the dark balls and firing two more damage beams.

The attack from the two S-Class Moon Blades was nothing to scoff at, blasting the queen’s position shield to pieces. However, when they reached her, a bright blue shield burst out once more, blocking them and absorbing the force of the impact beams.

Tang Zheng, like a meteor, crashed towards the Queen.

"You’re overestimating yourself." The Queen pointed a finger, and a light beam shot out towards Tang Zheng. As she was about to unleash another, her face suddenly changed, and the attack abruptly stopped.

The virtual world was the queen’s existence. Now that it was being ridden by a virus, her main body naturally got damaged, reducing her abilities. Otherwise, she would have taken care of Tang Zheng long ago.

"Great opportunity." Tang Zheng descended in a body slam, but at the moment he was about to reach the queen, she extended her arm, the positional shield appeared again, forcibly stopping Tang Zheng’s momentum. Then, it formed layer by layer of ripples, and began to corrode Tang Zheng’s body.

"Break!" The queen exhaled and shouted, releasing sonic attacks. Even though Hellfire immediately shut down its auditory system, Tang Zheng was still injured and felt a wave of dizziness.

The queen extended her other hand, effortlessly piercing through the position shield, grabbed Tang Zheng’s head. Her seemingly delicate arm managed to grip hard enough to leave impressions on the SS-level power armor.

"Shatter!" Tang Zheng punched the shield in front of him, causing it to wobble. He simultaneously launched his killer move.

Innumerable red, substantial light beam rays sprung from the power armor, making Tang Zheng look like a cactus. Then the rays intensified, hitting the shield, piercing through it like paper. A shield once more erupted in front of the queen, blocking all of the rays.

"Insignificant skill." the Queen scoffed disdainfully, holding Tang Zheng’s head, she swung him to the ground, boom, the wooden platform shattered.

After a few blows, the queen suddenly pulled Tang Zheng to her front, her left hand enveloped in a blue aura extended and grabbed his shoulder. Amidst the creaking, she tore the power armor apart.

Boom, the chest’s energy cannon fired, only to be blocked by the queen’s shield.

"Boss is in danger, Mei Jueye, it’s your turn to show off." Yao Feng hid at the entrance to the passage, his face anxious, while firing shots at the queen and commanded Mei Jueye to make a move.

"Hmph, if you wish to die, so be it." Mei Jueye stared at the high school student, releasing his ability. Yao Feng immediately felt his body out of control, rushing out from the shelter towards the platform.

"Ignorant ants." The Queen looked at Yao Feng, pointed a finger, the black energy ball appeared again, enveloped the second young man, completely engulfing him.

"Die!" Tang Zheng, already partially stripped of his armor, was furiously in a second-order burst state, releasing a gravity suppression. The queen’s body suddenly curved, and she was pressed to the ground.

At the same time, Zhuo Lie and Lu Fan were trying to dash into the passage, but they were intercepted by an agent Smith who had rushed over. The driver died because he had been given the improved reagent, which made him the prime target of the queen’s clone. The driver originally just wanted to guard the surroundings like Jing Xiang and Hong Jie, awaiting the outcome of Qin Yan and Ruan Feifei’s fight with the Queen’s clone, only that the snake-haired monster directly pounced over.

The driver wanted to run, but his speed was no match for the queen’s clone. The latter’s snake-hair tentacles broke apart like a gecko’s tail then shot towards the driver, piercing his body and then exploded, blasting him into a pile of broken flesh.

Qin Yan tried to rush in, a sudden change occurred! (To be continued. If you like this work, please support me on qidian.com by recommending your tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
