Chapter 976: Chapter 33 Insect Tide

In the Trojan Horse Game, no one knows when they will die; the only thing survivors can do is struggle to live with all their might. Under the pressure of death, even a second becomes extremely precious, causing emotions to multiply. That’s why sensibility often overweighs rationality during these times. Take Zuo Yi as an example; his lack of composure cost him his life.

The Conquerors had already steadied their mindsets, so they silently replenished their food supplies, thoughtfully considered their future plight, and casually sought out some fun to enjoy the brief tranquility.

Tang Zheng and Dantai were people who would never rest; the two of them got together to research the problems they would face next.

"May I join?" Shen Qingshuang liked to think; her temperament was calm, exuding a scholarly aura. She never liked to leave her fate in the hands of others.

"Together!" Dantai made a welcoming gesture; he appreciated Shen Qingshuang’s character, who thought of confronting difficulties head-on rather than succumbing to fear and confusion when faced with them.

"The throat microphone isn’t bad, but it still needs improvement, especially the materials; they’re too easily damaged," Tang Zheng pointed at his throat microphone. Even though the defenses were complete when they broke through Lightning Hall in the laboratory, it still got affected and was now producing a lot of static.

"I’ll do my best." Shen Qingshuang really enjoyed this atmosphere; both Tang Zheng and Dantai were approachable guys, never exuding a sense of superiority.

"Then let’s start with you, Qingshuang, tell us your thoughts." Tang Zheng took out a handwriting board and was about to hand it to them when he noticed they had both taken one out, prompting a laugh from both of them.

"At middle age, one really should rest more!" Lin Weiguo lay in his sleeping bag, catching up on sleep, while Little Lolita was once again entangled by Su Ameng.

"The Group Leader isn’t in any trouble, right? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?" Zheng Xiaxia was somewhat worried; of the Warhammer Squad, there were many members, which made her feel pressured, especially Dantai, with his cold face—a tough character at first glance. She felt that if he were to act maliciously, they definitely couldn’t handle it. Though Tong Ping was strong, he was a bit lacking in IQ.

"He won’t be bothered by such minor scenes; he’s probably on his way to the bridge by now." Xu Nian had full confidence in the Group Leader, but he was clearly a little distracted, glancing at Qin Yan while he was talking.

"Be mindful of the influence, careful not to get axed," Tong Ping slapped Xu Nian on the forehead. In this world with neither moral nor legal restraints, the Conquerors generally had bad tempers, each with at least a few lives on their hands. If they offended someone, there was no telling how they might be killed.

"Exactly, the guys from Warhammer Squad seem tough to deal with, not to mention their Group Leader. I heard that he’s a fearless one. Just think, our Group Leader is only a fearless candidate, so you better take it easy," Zeng Fanghai also felt that Xu Nian should be more cautious—his proud and conceited character was too likely to cause trouble.

"No way, he’s just third-order, how could he possibly be a fearless one?" Xu Nian couldn’t believe it. Although he hadn’t experienced the fearless one’s battle, he had heard the Group Leader talk about how brutal it was and the shockingly high elimination rate.

"It’s not just him, your crush Qin Yan is also a fearless one, plus there are three more fearless candidates. Their entire team is incredibly strong; that’s why they all have a set of Firefly Protective Clothing." Su Ameng walked back sullenly, but the information she brought back was quite a surprise for everyone.

"They have so many Space Wristwatches they’re practically going moldy. I really want one," Lin Chen continued to drool with envy.

"Stop talking nonsense. You’ve fought side by side with Tang Zheng, so describe his ability," Tong Ping was more concerned about practical issues.

"His abilities are unpredictable; it’s completely unclear what his main attack is, but one thing is certain—he’s strong, incredibly strong," Zeng Fanghai thought of Tang Zheng’s combat style. "It’s not just about combat power; he’s also quick-witted on the spot. Honestly, if Zhou Xiang hadn’t run away during the battle, Tang Zheng could have entirely massacred the Nepal Squad without the two third-order members causing them much trouble."

"Right, I forgot to mention that Qin Yan also has Hellfire. That makes three sets," Xu Nian recalled another point and couldn’t help but feel extremely frustrated, "Are we destined to be mere foot soldiers?"

The Instant Noodle Squad fell silent, with a severe lack of security.

"Don’t worry. At least Tang Zheng is a good Group Leader," Lin Chen rather supported Tang Zheng.

No matter how thorough their plans, both Trojan Squads had only rested for an hour when uninvited guests arrived.

"Not good, it’s Camel Bugs, a lot of them," two rookies in charge of guard duty rushed in with their rifles, pale and scared witless, not daring to stay outside any longer.

"Prepare for combat and move to your defense lines," Tang Zheng leaped up, commanding the battle. Dantai had already assigned their defensive areas, so although the rookies were panicked, they all knew what to do.

Outside the coffee house, thousands upon thousands of Camel Bugs were stacked upon each other, like a seven or eight-meter-high tsunami, pouring in from all directions, blocking every escape route.

"How did you stand guard? With so many bugs, there must have been a gathering process. Are you all blind?" Zheng Xiaxia angrily berated the rookies—rookies are indeed unreliable.

"Stop complaining, hurry up and drive them back," anyone who saw so many sinister-looking bugs occupying their entire field of vision would have their sweat glands stand on end. Lin Chen got a shock, hurried to the window, and started to shoot his Thunderstorm rifle.
