Chapter 752: Chapter 15: The Mission Begins, Robbing the Supermarket

"Good, we have two more supporters, now two thirds of the people agree." The man with gold-rimmed glasses was about to speak again but was interrupted by Chu Baichuan.

"Wait, when I said idiot, I was talking about you." Chu Baichuan glared at the man with gold-rimmed glasses, spat out a mouthful of saliva disdainfully, as if looking at a silly clown.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses’ face fell, he glared darkly at Chu Baichuan. He was the most successful guy among his classmates, with a feeling of superiority, believing that he should be the one to take charge. But instead, he had been ruthlessly humiliated.

"How could you speak like that? Can’t you be civilized?" A woman who admired the man with gold-rimmed glasses shouted out, blaming Chu Baichuan.

Most of the newbies chose to watch coldly, and there were also a few men who were jealous of the man with gold-rimmed glasses and wanted nothing more than to see him in trouble.

"Shut up, all of you. Who do you think you are, planning to hold a vote? Are you even qualified?" Yu Manli stared at the man with gold-rimmed glasses, "Who do you think you are? Is it your turn to speak here?"

"Ha ha, everyone..." The man with the gold-rimmed glasses gave a dry laugh and was about to lighten the mood when Chen Hong hit him in the face with an ammo clip. Immediately after, Yao Feng rushed out and slapped him in the face.

Smack, Yao Feng slapped him again, not yet appeased, he delivered a backhand.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses, who had never been insulted like this, became angry, his face turned iron blue, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don’t care who you are. Even if you’re Ao Guanhai, you have to behave." Yao Feng kept slapping him, a man tried to pull him away, but Yao Feng kicked him in the stomach, leaving him sprawled on the ground.

These classmates, due to their standing, immediately chastised Yao Feng. However, they all had their little schemes and none of them lent a hand to help.

"How dare you talk to Brother Tang like that?" Dongzi knew about Tang Zheng’s strength, he walked out, grabbed the man with gold-rimmed glasses by the hair, and pulled him out. Dongzi slapped him several times, immediately hitting him in the mouth.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with three teeth. He looked far from elite, his appearance was quite miserable.

"Mr. Tang, it’s Li Han’s mistake, please tell them to stop. We apologize." Song Huiqiao pleaded, giving Tang Zheng plenty of face. She was an intelligent woman and had figured out that Tang Zheng’s prestige was unparalleled amongst this group.

"A bunch of idiots, getting a good beating before they understand the situation, isn’t that just masochism?" Pang Meiqin had the strength to crush these newbies.

"If you cooperate and follow the leader’s command, you can definitely survive." Xu Biyun pointed to Cheng Cheng, "See those two kids there? They are the proof. So, better put away your little schemes, or don’t blame us for being rude."

"Those who don’t listen die the fastest, don’t believe it? Just wait and see." Tang Zheng was too lazy to say anything to these newbies, they were like cannon fodder, once a dozen or so died, they would behave, "Trojan, start the game."

"Boring, teleportation begins."

The survivors began to vanish, three seconds later, they appeared on a brightly lit street.

Tang Zheng tried to take something from the Space Wristwatch, but failed. Even the M9 in his leg gun holster couldn’t be fired, and the tactical straight knife in his pocket was soft as a piece of chewing gum, completely losing its hardness.

"We are in Japan, right?" Bai Guo pointed to the billboards standing beside the street, all written in Japanese.

"So what do we do now? Do we scatter to our own hunting zones, or stay together for the night?" Dantai opened the radar, pulled out the map, and saw different areas marked with different colors, each with the names of the survivors. A triangle icon was flashing, indicating direction.

"Let’s wait for the night, then see how it goes." Tang Zheng looked at the sky, dotted with stars, the night was hazy, it must be around ten o’clock at night. The streetlights on the street were like two fire dragons extending out, combined with the continuous flow of vehicles, showcasing the prosperity of the city.

"Don’t you feel hot? It’s summer here." The rock youth took off his coat and whistled at three passing Japanese girls.

They had slightly dark skin, trendy dress, hot pants and tank tops, exposing their white shoulders and thighs. It’s quite eye-catching, "But their legs are a bit short."

"Dressed so revealingly, could they be adult video actresses?" The red-haired youth was very happy, as if he had discovered a new world, he started shouting. "Hey, I can actually understand Japanese. They’re talking about our origins."

"Stop staring at women, aren’t you going to take care of your companion?" Dongzi pointed at the youth who had both legs broken. He was lying on the ground, already scared into a faint.

The remaining six rock men and women said nothing and looked away. They obviously didn’t want to have anything to do with him, being in a strange place, how could they help?

"Cough, cough, it’s late, let’s go to the embassy for help, and then sort things out." An official spoke up, he had a good read on people and understood Tang Zheng’s place in the team, so he sought his opinion, "What do you think?"

"If this isn’t Tokyo, where would you go to find an embassy?" Pang Meiqin felt that the leader’s head was surely filled with holes, jumping to too many conclusions, "The task of the moment is to figure out our exact location, prepare weapons, and deal with the impending crisis."

Indeed, as a Conqueror who had survived ten games, the beautiful-leg stewardess was starting to gain some experience, understanding what needs to be done.

"We also need a safe shelter." Dantai carefully scanned the surrounding environment, looking for any place that could be utilized, then made his way towards an Izakaya by the road.

"Does anyone want to leave?" Tang Zheng’s brows furrowed slightly. There were only six hunting zones shown on the radar, which already encompassed more than twenty streets, suggesting that this time the game thoroughly separated the survivors. The area for each person was not the same, but at a minimum, it encompassed the range of three or four streets. It was vast, making it hard to coordinate with each other.

The newbies looked at each other, unsure. They did not want to stay with Tang Zheng and the others, who were strangers to them. It was too dangerous, but they also did not dare to leave in this unfamiliar place.

"We will move with you." Song Huiqiao took responsibility, made her position clear to Tang Zheng and then tried to persuade her companions, "They obviously are familiar with this kind of game, at the very least we should stay together for a day or two before making a decision."

"Don’t stand around. Let’s find a hotel to take shelter in. Tang Zheng, I’ve heard about your first experience inside the Trojan horse game, you’re awesome." Chu Baichuan truly admired Tang Zheng, admitting he couldn’t reach that level of capability himself. If he saw a zombie, he would rush in for a direct melee fight without hesitation.

"That won’t work, without any form of identification like passports, do you want to be deported?" Ruan Feifei wanted to have a say in the matter, so she actively demonstrated her own strengths.

"Wait until Dantai comes back." The radar was very crude, apart from vaguely indicating the areas, it didn’t mark out the names of nearby buildings at all. Tang Zheng was desperate to get hold of a map.

"What does the Demonic Shadow monster look like? Have any of you encountered it before?" Ruan Feifei asked Qin Yan, "From its name, it sounds like a spirit-type creature."

"No." Qin Yan shook her head, her fingers tracing over the radar’s touch screen, memorizing each person’s hunting area.

Dantai thanked them, and walked out of the Izakaya.

"This is in Toshima District, one of the 23 special wards within Tokyo City, in the northwest corner. The Chinese embassy in Japan is located in Minato ward. However, I advise you to give up on that idea." Dantai glanced at the dozen or so officials holding metal boxes. These guys were bulky, and he could tell that they weren’t combat-ready.

"Old Dantai, cut the crap and get to the point." Chu Baichuan urged Dantai. He didn’t want to keep standing on the main street in the cold wind.

"My surname is Dantai, not Dan. Our location is Nishi-Ikebukuro 3-chome [3-chome of West Ikebukuro]. Nearby, we have Nishi-Ikebukuro Park, Toshima Tax Office, the University, unfortunately, it’s a densely populated area. Oh, and it’s year 2082." Dantai felt that the Trojan Horse game was tricky. The Space Wristwatch, a high-technology equipment, didn’t even have a map storage function, obviously to increase the difficulty of the game for the survivors.

The Conquerors all looked towards Tang Zheng, waiting for the team leader to make a decision.

"First, let’s find a supermarket as a temporary shelter." Tang Zheng gestured with his right hand, "I have prepared maps for hundreds of countries, but they are, unfortunately, of no use now."

"But isn’t robbing a supermarket a crime? Wouldn’t it attract the police?" A man with short hair quietly muttered. He appeared rather uneasy. He was the type of person who had always lived a quiet life and never done anything wrong.

"What a bother, just do as commanded. If anything happens, you won’t be held responsible." Chu Baichuan was getting irritated.

"You can’t keep on making mistakes. We need to call the police now, and make contact back home." The old principal once again stood up. He stood there before the group of survivors, his face full of grief-stricken expressions, as he scolded the crowd, "You are all part of society now, you have families and jobs, why are you acting recklessly with these people?"

"Hey old man, can you just shut up for a bit?" Yao Feng spat out and walked out ready to hit him, but Tang Zheng pulled him back by the shoulder.

"Principal, you’ll understand my intentions soon." Tang Zheng said and then walked past him.

The young delinquent squeezed the trigger a few times, confirming that he couldn’t fire, and shook his head at the Boss.

"We’ll follow them first, and remember to keep an eye on the money and gold bars." The leader said with a sullen face, considering where to find more weapons, feeling very unsafe around Tang Zheng’s group.

After walking for two hundred meters, a 24-hour supermarket appeared along the road. There weren’t many customers at night, which was convenient for Tang Zheng’s operation.

"Let’s get on with it." The red-haired young rocker was eager to get started, excited by the thrill of it.

"Anyone who will get in the way waits here." Dantai gave them a stern look, made eye contact with Lin Weiguo, and followed into the supermarket a dozen seconds after Tang Zheng had entered.

The cashier was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in a yellow short-sleeved uniform, wearing a blue baseball cap. Even without any customers, she stood dutifully at the cash register. Beside her, was a young employee taking a break. He held a mop in his hands, apparently having just finished cleaning the supermarket.

Tang Zheng did not act rashly. He pretended to be shopping while roaming through the shelves, determining how many employees were present. (To be continued.
