Chapter 887: Chapter 42: Absolute Advantage Assault Kill

Tang Zheng joined the battlefield, and the offensive and defensive situation of both sides was completely shattered. Additionally, as the Leman tribe leader was sent flying like a torn sack in full view of everyone, his subordinates hesitated, while the Rudy tribe that emerged from cover to pursue them became the last straw that broke them.

The people of the Leman tribe started to flee, especially those with guns, having already benefited from the fallen in the recent fight. Staying any longer would be unwise.

"Stop killing, I want them alive." Seeing the people of the Rudy tribe killing those enemies wielding melee weapons and rummaging through their supplies, Tang Zheng roared in anger, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

"What the hell!" Tang Zheng curled his lip, delivered a kick to Leman’s head that knocked him out, and then took out an AT-4 and fired at a man who was being disobedient.

Boom, the man was blown to pieces and sent into the sky. The eyes of all the Indigenous People were on Tang Zheng, with dissatisfaction, and fear, yet no one dared to retaliate because Tang Zheng alone had scattered a troop of five hundred. They simply didn’t have the courage to resist.

"Good, now bring me my slaves, I want fifty, and if there’s one less, you’ll make up for it," Tang Zheng declared sternly, issuing a domineering statement that immediately angered many.

"Go capture people," Rudy quickly stepped forward, pacifying the complaints of his subordinates. Fifty slaves were not too many, and given the strong show of force from the other side, it was better to ease the tension first.

"Do you want this guy?" Tang Zheng kicked Leman in front of Rudy and asked the mixed-race European.

"What do you want?" Rudy did not believe that Tang Zheng would help him for no reason.

"I need a guide, information about this city, and help to find someone," Tang Zheng plainly listed his requirements, not worried about being mistreated as an ’outsider’ with his strong backing.

"No problem," Rudy was indeed contemplating betraying Tang Zheng, but after seeing his confident demeanor and formidable strength, he discarded the thought.

"Aren’t you curious where I pulled that rocket launcher from?" Tang Zheng remarked, puzzled that these people showed no surprise at him taking items from his Wristwatch.

"It’s military space storage equipment, right? I’ve heard of it; that’s something only the top soldiers are equipped with," Rudy offered Tang Zheng a few pieces of Black Bread, the simplest gesture of goodwill in the post-apocalyptic world.

Tang Zheng waved it off, instead tossing over two cans of Canned Beef, which Rudy happily accepted.

"I have a lot of Food, and as long as you complete the mission, you can have some too, and it’s not dangerous—it’s just searching for someone," Tang Zheng knew he had found Rudy’s weakness.

Rudy nodded and shouted a few times, and a dozen of his best people-finders came running.

"Remember the faces of these people and tell me when you find them," Tang Zheng instructed as he fired up the Virtual Screen, displaying the visages of Qin Yan and the others, not sparing even the additional three teams.

"Go, and be careful," Rudy said, and was stopped by Tang Zheng.

"Wait, take this as a down payment," Tang Zheng distributed Canned Beef and Chocolate, instantly boosting the morale of the group.

"Do you have any other orders?" Rudy was excited, having found a generous employer.

"Help me find some Bug Mothers; I want their eggs."

"Are you crazy? It’s breeding season, so the Bugs are all very aggressive, and the Bug Mothers are deep in their nests; you won’t have a chance to see them," Rudy tried to dissuade him loudly. "Though Bug Eggs are valuable, you also need to be alive to enjoy them!"

"Just tell me where they are," Tang Zheng’s Equipment had not yet been displayed. Once the Kai Cavalry was deployed, crushing the Bugs would be no trouble at all.

"Take your twenty best men and go with me; the rest can go home," Tang Zheng aimed to send the Natives away. If the Germans stumbled upon them, he would lose his advantage.

Having seen Tang Zheng’s generosity, the Natives quickly came forward, eagerly volunteering themselves.

As natives who made a living hunting Bugs, they surely knew some insect nest locations. Thus, before the Rising Sun was fully up, they had already brought Tang Zheng to the front of a building.

"Inside, there’s a Bug Mother, but you’ll have to kill at least five thousand Bugs to see it. If you take too long, when the Bug army returns from hunting, your chances of making it out alive are slim," Rudy continued to advise, but Tang Zheng had already jumped out of the Shelter and walked towards the building.

"Take good care of Cheng Cheng."

"Madman," Rudy shook his head, turning to the Company Commander. "Aren’t you going to help him?"

"We’d only get in the way if we went," Chen Hong was tired of this Little Loliti and simply left her to the Company Commander to look after. Zhang Ke’s fever had subsided somewhat, and because of his own burdensome nature, Tang Zheng had not given him the Nanomechanical Injection Fluid.

While Tang Zheng armed his Hellfire and cleared out the Bugs, Dantai’s team ran into Rudolph’s team, which was fiercely advancing and clearing another insect nest.

They were members of the all-star squad, a total of 14 people. Among them, Rudolph was a Third-order Explosive Type "Conqueror", and Angelica was Second-order. The couple, being romantically involved, always stuck together. Accompanying them were Dietrich and Lisa, who were about to become Conquerors, while the rest were newbies, including two flight attendants, seven neo-Nazis, and that German girl who had just entered the Trojan Room and got shot in the face with a liquid by Fleischer.

The two flight attendants were the weakest; they were terrified at the sight of bugs. Angelica could only assign them to keep watch, but against Conquerors like Dantai, they couldn’t detect anything.

"Bai Guo, go scout the enemy’s numbers and abilities," Dantai commanded assertively but acted with caution.

After ten minutes, Natural Stupid returned with the intelligence. She was worried she wouldn’t be able to express herself clearly, so she also recorded a video of the Germans in combat.

"The toughest one is this middle-aged man; the rest are all waste wood," Dantai reassured everyone, "Taking them head-on shouldn’t be a problem."

Dantai quickly assessed his team’s strength: a total of eleven people - Sha Ou, Ai Yixin, Qin Yan, Bai Guo, Lin Weiguo, with only the Company Commander and four soldiers as the newbies. They were clearly going to dominate the opposition.

"What we need to be wary of now is that the enemy might have Third-order Explosive Types." Dantai originally wanted to wait for them to kill the insect queen and then reap the rewards, but considering there might not be enough time, he begins his attack ahead of schedule.

The two flight attendants on duty ignored the Captain’s orders to guard separately and sat behind a piece of broken wall, talking to each other to try to alleviate their fear.

For a sure kill, the four Conquerors, equipped with silenced sniper rifles, took aim at them. Following Dantai’s command to shoot, they pulled the trigger.

With a few soft popping noises, one of the flight attendant’s heads exploded like a rotten watermelon. The other flight attendant’s face crawled with horror, but before she could scream out, her head also burst open.

"Bai Guo, you go invisible. Don’t attack unless I say so. Ai Yixin, Qin Yan, Brother Lin, you three act as meat shields and pin down these three people," Dantai distributed the tasks, "Sha Ou, you and I will take out this woman. Company Commander, lead the soldiers and target the newbies; don’t let them get away. Any questions?"

"No problem," the Company Commander said without mercy; the chaos on the aircraft carrier had already sealed them as mortal enemies.

Dantai repeated the mission and led the way.

Crossing the lobby and the corridors, upon entering the Underground Second Floor, Dantai and his people saw their targets. The German squad, led by two Conquerors, was making rapid progress, with many bugs dying before them.

Dantai made a hand signal. The Conquerors took aim with their guns, all focusing on Dietrich. He was a more valuable target than Lisa and easier to take down than a Conqueror. The special agents made heavy bets for a precise hit.

Once the Company Commander and his team had their targets in their sights, the special agent quietly ordered them to shoot, and the gunshots erupted.

"Something’s wrong!" Angelica, a Psychic Class ability user, was the first to sense something amiss. Too late, unfortunately.

Dietrich, who had been catching his breath to recover, didn’t even manage to release his ability before the bullets hit and exploded his head. Lin Weiguo’s Gauss sniper rifle emitted a Cannon Beam, which vaporized the upper half of his body.

The five soldiers were somewhat reluctant to shoot a woman and aimed at the neo-Nazis instead. With the pressure of shooting at a person for the first time, they missed their targets, except for the Platoon Leader, who killed his prey. The rest of the newbies missed.

The German newbies were screaming as they frantically searched for shelter amidst the chaos.

Following the tactical arrangement, Ai Yixin and the other two shot and immediately sprung into action, confronting their respective targets without wasting a second.

A psychic storm blasted from both Angelica and Dantai, colliding and creating a ripple in the air. However, since they neutralized each other, no one on either side was affected.

Rudolph made the right judgment, exploding into Second-order instantly, but he was up against the Platinum Queen, Ai Yixin. Thanks to her outstanding Defense Power, she withstood the first wave of the attack.

Dantai glanced at Angelica and abandoned the head-on fight, his Mental Impact aimed full force at Lisa. She summoned a large spectral wolf that appeared beside her, ready to face Lin Weiguo. However, that was her last responsive move.

Lin Weiguo, the eldest with no shortage of pride, was determined to protect his younger counterparts. Focused on this mindset, he exploded into his ability and, adding his formidable defensive ability to the mix, ignored the incoming spectral wolf and aimed his muzzle at Lisa, firing Cannon Beams in succession.

Lisa dodged three shots, then her body suddenly tensed, and she was struck in the legs by the Cannon Beam. She screamed as she fell, only to uncontrollably crash into the next beam.

Sha Ou made his move, displaying formidable Telekinesis that essentially controlled the body in another sense.

The neo-Nazis were counterattacking, but they were no match for the soldiers. As they regained their composure, their proficiency returned, and two more neo-Nazis were killed.

"Brother Lin, go help Ai Yixin," Dantai directed on the spot. Facing Third-order Rudolph, Ai Yixin was outmatched and lasted less than twenty seconds before spitting out blood. The intensity of his attack exceeded her Defense Power.

Qin Yan was matched against Angelica and was suppressed by psychic-type abilities. However, her own liquidation ability rendered the enemy’s physical attacks ineffective, leading to a stalemate. But as Dantai and Sha Ou joined the fray, the situation swiftly shifted. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote and give monthly tickets.
