Chapter 932: Chapter 69: Return and Evaluation

The following five days were indeed a calm period. Apart from encountering a punishment troop, there were no other troubles. Even that was just a minor skirmish. Thanks to the widespread use of S-Class Firearms by the Central Hammer Squad, it took them only five minutes to destroy six Teleportation Gates and crush the punishment troop.

"We can’t just keep dragging this out, can we? We should set up a plan in advance," Lu Fan said, squatting by the campfire cooking porridge, his young face covered in soot and blackened.

"Hasn’t Dantai already buried bombs all around us?" Xu Biyun thought that was sufficient. Enough to kill forty or fifty thousand people with no problem, and she was still worried about the supplies. If they were unusable, it’d all go to waste.

"Not enough. Didn’t we capture one of the natives yesterday? I’m planning to get in touch with their government," Dantai shook his head. Although five days had passed and everyone’s injuries had stabilized, especially Tang Zheng, who had recovered fifty percent of his combat power after the continuous treatment by Gu Xueqi and Daylily, he was still concerned. It was this state of uncertainty, not knowing what dangers they might face, that was the most irritating.

"Sure, I think we should take control of the military’s top leader, make him a puppet, and then see what weapons we have. I really want to plant a few Nuclear Bombs on that initial Small Island." The Bug Heart was a great thing, so the Meat worm monster that dropped it shouldn’t be just any ordinary BOSS. Failing to kill it at the time left Tang Zheng feeling frustrated.

"Leave it to me," Dantai had just finished speaking when the voice of Trojan sounded.

"In twenty seconds, the punishment forces will arrive. Please prepare for combat or evacuation."

Without Tang Zheng’s command, everyone had already assumed their battle positions. In the past few days, under Dantai’s guidance, everyone had been practicing Tactics.

The enemies that appeared were still Bugs, but this time with a dozen more Overlord Beetles. However, everyone took it easy and felt relieved instead.

A dense swarm of Self-destructive flying bugs rushed over, quickly approaching the building.

Tang Zheng raised his Devil Flame Pistol, and a red Bullet shot out, exploding suddenly like a Cluster Bomb, fanning out in an umbrella shape to form hundreds of tiny Bullets that covered a fifty-yard radius of the sky.

The Self-destructive flying bugs were instantly blown apart, their limbs falling to the ground.

Tang Zheng kept pulling the trigger, and the red Storm Barrage kept bursting open in the sky, like blossoming fireworks, killing a large number of Bugs.

An Overlord Beetle successfully gathered Energy, shooting out a Light beam that shook the building, causing chunks to fall off. But in an instant, Conquerors released a Light Defense Shield around themselves, not a single hair was harmed.

Facing the Warhammer Team’s Barrage, the Bugs couldn’t even get within five meters in front of the building before they were thoroughly annihilated, leaving behind a ground full of Corpses.

Five minutes—it took to finish the fight. Neither Dantai nor Tang Zheng wanted to take it as lightly as the others. Trojan would definitely not let the Conquerors farm Points. So, the punishment forces in the future were bound to be stronger and more terrifying.

The following day, Dantai began to act according to the plan. First, he gathered information at the Bar in the natives’ gathering place, located his target, and then, after spending a considerable amount of Supplies, bribed him. Following that, he obtained the home address of the favorite mistress of the Military Region’s commander, then lay in wait.

The Military Region’s commander was a fifty-year-old man who loved his mistress. At first, he put on a tough front when threatened, but when Dantai took his family hostage, he capitulated. He decided to follow Dantai’s instructions and bomb the Small Island. Since a Destroyer had been sent to the island to collect data from the castle Laboratory before, the coordinates were all on record.

This was a post-apocalyptic world, and the regime was dictatorial, saving Dantai a lot of effort. Of course, the commander considered rescuing them, but after a battalion’s worth of troops were exterminated by these strangers, he was utterly chilled to the bone; he realized that they possessed the power to overthrow his regime.

"If you don’t obey, you won’t just lose your family. You’ll also not be able to keep your commander’s position," Dantai said, causing the commander to collapse and proactively seek cooperation.

On the seventh day, bombers carrying twenty Nuclear Bombs dropped them on the Small Island. After the explosion, the island was nearly erased from the map, and the vegetation and castles were all destroyed, not a single Insect-Human left.

"Damn it. Do you guys realize that after today, the Meat worm monster would have condensed a new Bug Heart and then appeared here to strangle you? But what did you do? You dropped a Nuclear Bomb and blew it up directly," the Blue Trojan appeared, angrily blaming them.

"Cheers!" Tang Zheng and Dantai, rejoicing in the disaster, took out a bottle of Champagne and shook it, clinking their bottles together, understanding the implications in Trojan’s words—they had passed the challenge ahead of schedule.

If it weren’t for Tang Zheng’s fluke of removing the Bug Heart from the Meat worm monster over ten days ago, which would have immediately appeared as a BOSS after the punishment period was over, Trojan wouldn’t have been this concerned. According to the rules, if Tang Zheng had killed it, a new BOSS would have taken its place. But now, that’s no longer possible, and they had to accept this outcome.

"The Game is over. In one minute, you will be Teleported back to the room," Trojan said in a huff and stopped caring about these Base People. As a Trojan for fifty years, she had never felt so frustrated.

"Yay, we can go home now!" Lu Fan jumped up in cheer.

"What a waste of the Bomb," Xu Biyun sighed, still regretting it.

"No waste, just killing bugs for points," Dantai pulled out the detonator and pressed the button. In an instant, half the city began to explode, one after another. The already abandoned buildings, unable to bear the burden, were all destroyed and collapsed.

The agent’s bombing had cleared many insects for the natives, at least for this season, they didn’t have to fear bug attacks anymore.

Pang Meiqin took out her mobile phone, took a few photos, then teleported them over. Three seconds later, everyone returned to the Trojan Room.

The opening overture EUROPA echoed, and the blue cube spun, floating in the sky.

"Base People, congratulations on completing the Death Thorns mission. Now, let’s start the healing process." The Trojan wasted no time, emitting white light that enveloped the survivors, healing their wounds. As for those who didn’t have enough points to pay for the repairs, they were simply wiped out. The Blue Trojan would not waste words on the Base People.

"Healing complete, time to score!" The arrogant Blue Trojan operated swiftly, not wasting a moment, displaying Zuo Yi’s portrait on the screen.

"Zuo Yi, Base People, a well-trained Old Soldier with a bit of a temper, but a good heart. Seemingly reckless, he actually has schemes, brave, decisive, with outstanding psychological quality and solid tactical skills. A fine Soldier, he can be the keystone of a Team, scoring 2,500 points and rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."

Zuo Yi looked towards Tang Zheng, wondering if these points were a lot.

"Average," said Lu Fan, rather deflating, "But don’t feel bad, this must be after the deduction of healing points."

"Little Lolita, this is your first warning. Interrupt again, and finger amputation punishment will ensue!" The Blue Trojan was discontented, and then pointed at Shen Qingshuang.

"Shen Qingshuang, Base People, calm, composed, daring to fight, malevolent, scheming, not suitable as a teammate before gaining trust, he will excellently complete the tasks given to him but always leaves himself an out. Score: 2,300 points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."

Seeing the Conquerors’ gazes sweeping over, Shen Qingshuang shrugged his shoulders and twisted his mouth without giving any explanation.

"Gu Xueqi, Base People, strong, brave, unwilling to be protected, wants to fight on the front lines to earn more points, has the potential to become a strong woman. Scored: 3,100 points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, A-Class evaluation."

Gu Xueqi bowed her head. Although it was nice to be protected, she also wished to earn more points to improve her family’s situation and her mother’s health, and then leave the Trojan Room.

"Sha Ou, Base People, a forthright man who would take a knife for his brothers. As long as they share common values, he would be loyal to the core, not liking to suspect others and treating people sincerely. It’s just too bad that when it’s time to betray someone, he does not hold back, and he is very cold towards strangers he doesn’t know. Score: 3,200 points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, A-Class evaluation."

Sha Ou didn’t care and began browsing the Trojan List.

"Yao Feng, Base People, a total chuunibyou, very foolish, in love with a girl who will never like him back. Also, if it weren’t for a good Group Leader, he would have died long ago. A Conqueror without Seed Ability is really an oddity. Score: 1,200 points, rewarded with one Bronze Seed, C-level evaluation."

"Announcement, congratulations to Yao Feng on becoming a Conqueror. Awarded 500 points and one Silver Seed."

"I’m a Conqueror now, heh, time to celebrate. Brother Tang, join me!" Yao Feng was indeed a bit silly, not caring about the Trojan’s evaluation and cheering loudly.

"Silence." The Trojan roared, continuing the scoring, "Jing Xiang, Base People, timid, weak, indecisive, currently being trained by Tang Zheng, enjoys the feeling of incontinence. What an oddity. Score: 2,000 points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."

On hearing the word "incontinence," Jing Xiang’s cheeks turned bright red, like apples in autumn.

"Announcement, congratulations to Jing Xiang on becoming a Conqueror. Awarded 500 points and one Silver Seed."

"Ai Yixin, Base People, her husband and children are dead, truly a tragic character. Gentlemen, don’t you want to take advantage of her vulnerability? Imagine when her husband is resurrected and finds out his beloved wife has cuckolded him. That will be very interesting indeed. Score: 3,700 points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, A-Class evaluation."

All the gentlemen frowned, the Blue Trojan was too uncouth, completely taking pleasure in mocking the survivors.

"Cheng Cheng, Base People!" As the screen showed Cheng Cheng’s image, the Trojan blurted out the name. The Conquerors were all startled and instinctively looked around for her.

"Uh, my mistake, but since I’ve said it, let’s show you the little loli’s death scene. I think you’re all very curious." The Blue Trojan obviously intended to torment everyone’s nerves, and without giving them a chance to refuse, projected the battle scene.

The Little Lolita’s resolute self-destruction was once again displayed in front of everyone.

"Enough, Blue Trojan, that’s enough!" Tang Zheng erupted in anger and roared in rebuke! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
