Chapter 931: Chapter 68: Swapping Bird Guns for Cannons

"A third-order Conqueror died just like that, isn’t that a bit too tragic?" Ruan Feifei curled her lips as she watched Tang Zheng strip Xu Changtai’s corpse, feeling this victory came too easily.

"Hmph, that’s the benefit of having more people. If the West Lake Longjing Tea team had a few more survivors with the right tactics, Xu Changtai wouldn’t have been literally worn down to death." Lu Fan was quite smug, "It serves him right for treating his team members as expendable cannon fodder."

Every Trojan is a major pain in the neck. Just when you think you can steamroll everything with your high personal combat power, it throws a team battle at you, making you realize that here, any weakness can be fatally damaging.

"Still too weak. I think a fourth-order Conqueror would have definitely survived. Moreover, we have to strengthen our physique, that’s the most basic thing. If we were in the Holy Land and faced this kind of endurance race, the intensity would surely be greater, and I guess a third-order would just be cannon fodder." Dantai walked over, distributing Seeds and also leaving two Stars for Tang Zheng.

"What equipment dropped?" Lu Fan saw two pieces of equipment drop from the Beetle Queen. One was a palm-sized black shell, and the other a fist-sized green eyeball, covered in slime, which was disgusting.

Beetle Shell, an SS-Class Shield, creates a black spherical shield that covers the body and can block any S-Class and below attacks, as well as withstand fifty hits from SS-Class weapons. It filters poison gas and radiation. After shattering, it requires a one-hour cooldown.

Chaotic Shooting Eyeball, an SS-Class Group Kill Weapon, rises to a hundred meters in the air upon activation and fires a hundred light beams randomly bombarding targets within a three-hundred-yard radius for thirty seconds. It has a fifteen-minute cooldown.

"This one’s much more generous than ours, dropping all SS-Level equipment." Lu Fan muttered to himself and then lobbied for Tang Zheng to get a share, "Uncle has no SS-Class Shield yet, give it to him. Besides, he’s always on the front line, dealing with the other team’s leader, which is very dangerous. As for the Chaotic Shooting Eyeball, Uncle Dantai, please kindly accept it!"

"Ha, clever child. Tang Zheng, your little girl has snagged you another piece of equipment." Dantai didn’t oppose and tossed the Beetle Shell over to Tang Zheng, who was approaching. As for the Chaotic Shooting Eyeball, he gave it to Qin Yan, "Take it. It’ll be more useful for you."

Qin Yan’s liquefaction ability could penetrate the heart of the enemy ranks. Once the eyeball was activated, it would be even more threatening.

Qin Yan tried to refuse, but Tang Zheng stopped her.

"Just take it. There are plenty more pieces of equipment to be distributed, and everyone will get a share." Tang Zheng shook Xu Changtai’s Space Wristwatch, "This guy wasn’t just wearing Tyrannosaurus Protective Clothing, he even had six Defense Shields, armoring himself like a Turtle Shell. No wonder he could kill Fleischer and withstand the Beetle Queen for so long. It’s evident it wasn’t just luck."

"Ha ha, and now they’ve all become our spoils of war!" Pang Meiqin was very happy. The stronger Tang Zheng was, the better for her.

"I’m going to allocate these randomly based on contribution. If you don’t get anything, don’t be downhearted, you’ll be given priority next time." Tang Zheng distributed four Light Defense Shields to Qin Yan, Li Xinlan, Jing Xiang, and Gu Xueqi, as they still didn’t have them. But for the remaining one, he hesitated. Yao Feng didn’t have one either, but giving it to him wouldn’t make much difference; it might be better given to Bai Guo, since the natural ditz was always in positions of danger.

Yao Feng swallowed hard, his face filled with hope as he gazed at the Light Defense Shield, waiting for Tang Zheng to speak.

"Yao Feng, this is for you." Tang Zheng didn’t want to hurt his capable underling’s feelings and handed over the shield.

"Big brother, you’re the best." Yao Feng was overjoyed, activating the shield and showing it off in front of Pang Meiqin like a kid with a new toy, their vanity on full display, feeling like with this shield, he was truly a core team member.

"The SS-Class Holy Defense Shield, a single piece that can provide protection for five people. Lu Fan, take it. When necessary, you can offer defense support for everyone." The Little Lolita didn’t need to rush into battle; she could release it from within the team, which allowed for timely use. Besides, a little girl also needed special care.

Lu Fan’s face lit up with joy as he gladly accepted it.

"Look, there’s a full set of Hellfire armor for the vice-group leader too!" This was the Power Armor captured from Fleischer, and now it was Dantai’s windfall.

The Special Agent didn’t turn it down and took it. With that, the Warhammer Team now had five sets of Iron Hellfire, with combat strength increased by at least thirty percent.

When Tang Zheng pulled out the Devil Flame Pistol, the Conquerors’ gaze immediately shifted. There was no helping it; its appearance was just too magnificent - forged from metal infused with demonic power, the red and green hues mixed together with flame-like demon runes burning on it. The gun barrel was rectangular, like a sword ready to pierce the vault of heaven, and full of a sense of powerful texture.

"Wow, the Demon Flame Pistol, SS-Class, such a great item!" Pang Meiqin scanned it and, looking at the displayed properties on the screen, was full of admiration, "Infinite ammunition, three shooting modes, and even a built-in curse effect. It’s really amazing."

"The only downside is that it has a short range, just fifty meters." Xu Biyun loved video games and the moment she saw the pistol, she wanted it for her collection, though she didn’t speak up.

"Okay, take it. Only you can maximize its power." Dantai interrupted when he saw Tang Zheng was about to distribute it again.

"Bi Yun, this is for you." Since the Demon Flame Pistol came with demonic and spirit-breaking effects, Tang Zheng took out the Demon Slaying Holy Flame and gave it to the gamer girl. It would have been a waste otherwise.

Xu Biyun took it and looked at the shotgun, adorned with gold-wire runes and a silver barrel. She executed a beautiful twirl of the gun and smiled contentedly.

"Xu Changtai is absolutely a good man." Seeing Tang Zheng pull out three more heavy gravity guns, Lu Fan joked as he distributed them to Dantai, Yu Manli, and Yao Feng. Now, each core member of the Warhammer Team had an S-Class firearm in hand.

Xu Changtai was truly turtlish, playing a defensive style. Tang Zheng brought out a pendant, which was initially thought to be an offensive prop. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another shield.

The Frost Defender, SS level. Once activated, it creates a frost domain with a radius of twenty yards, decreasing enemies’ movement speed and armor by a fifth. Any incoming barrage has its attack speed reduced by a fifth. In addition, two snowflake-shaped shields form around the user’s body, capable of withstanding twenty attacks from SS-Class weapons.

"Give it to Bai Guo. Once she gets close to an enemy and activates this equipment, she’ll definitely be able to stealthily take them down," Dantai suggested, and naturally, Tang Zheng tossed it over.

"No, no, I already have plenty of weapons." Bai Guo could be said to be the biggest winner from this game, having collected so many items she was almost embarrassed.

"Just take it." Despite being naturally oblivious to deep thinking, her loyalty was absolutely off the charts, and her invisibility ability was just too suitable for assassinations.

Xu Changtai, worthy of being a Fourth Order, possessed an abundance of gear. Tang Zheng then took out an SS-Class bloody dagger, long and slender in a dark red color, with tiny barbs that wriggled continuously, and its length reached two feet, just like a military dagger but with additional small details.

Hiss, witnessing the knife’s chilling form, everyone couldn’t help but gasp. This was indeed a perfect instrument for bleeding someone out; stabbing someone with it was almost guaranteed to be fatal.

Demonic Break, Spiritual Break, complete with bleeding, infection, and a one percent beheading effect— a very practical, cold weapon.

"For brother Lin."

Yu Manli, who was a melee fighter, also wanted it, but she knew she couldn’t compete with Lin Weiguo, who, after all, was a core member and a diligent engineer who always took care of the team’s dirty and tiring work.

"There are also plenty of medicines and seeds; let’s divide them up." Tang Zheng took three first-aid kits and two Star Seeds, which was very fair.

Xu Changtai was afraid of dying, and along with the captured items, he had over twenty emergency first-aid kits and hundreds of nanobot injections. The rest were mostly supplies, the ammunition being the most abundant, with just the AT-4 and Stinger missiles totaling over three thousand.

"This guy’s space wristwatch is an enhanced version. No wonder it can hold so much stuff, super sharp." Lu Fan discovered another secret, but Tang Zheng’s attention was all on the S-Class Whale Hunting Vehicle.

All in sky blue, the vehicle was massive, resembling a whale that had landed on shore. It could carry six people, controlled by a smart watch, automated driving. When the back opened, it revealed a nest capable of firing five hundred rocket shells in a volley with automatic reloading and a one-minute cooldown. With four beam weapons and a positive electron siege main cannon, its top speed was two-thirds the speed of sound. Of course, poor road conditions limited its performance.

"This vehicle is made for storming cities and fortresses," Tang Zheng admired, pleased with this spoil of war. Unfortunately, it was already significantly damaged, and upon checking, he found that just the repairs would cost one thousand five hundred points.

The Whale Hunting Vehicle and the enhanced wristwatch naturally belonged to Tang Zheng, but the group leader also let go of a Beetle, giving it to Lin Weiguo. Pang Meiqin pursed her lips, slightly dissatisfied at not getting the Beetle.

"These two are for you two." There were two wristwatches left over, so Tang Zheng gave them to Zuo Yi and Shen Qingshuang. It was better than letting them rot in the wristwatch. Besides, even if they died, he could just retrieve them.

"You two are so lucky. I waited for five battles to get a space wristwatch," Yu Manli said despondently. Team battles were dangerous, but as long as one won, the spoils were indeed plentiful.

"If some genius newbie kills us one day, they could also make a fortune overnight. Especially Uncle, your worth so much," Lu Fan said, pretending to be greedy, which made everyone laugh. After enduring the punishment rally, the atmosphere naturally relaxed.

Zuo Yi’s team members had all died, and even though he had obtained the equipment, he looked quite dejected. Shen Qingshuang wasn’t as sentimental and was thinking about how to survive better. He was proactive and would never give up hope.

"Shouldn’t we find a place to hide for a bit?" Yu Manli suggested, as the noon sun was blinding, inducing a sleepy feeling.

"Trojan, what challenges do we have next? Bring them out," Dantai asked, trying to probe. Unexpectedly, the Trojan actually responded.

"Over the next seven days, you will have a short rest period. Please decide for yourselves what to do next." The Blue Trojan was too tricky; no one dared to believe these words. Regardless, finding a safe nest to rest and heal was necessary. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com).
