Chapter 985: Chapter 38 Self-Destruction

"You just wait, our Group Leader won’t let you get away with this." Seeing Tang Zheng’s intent to kill, Jesus Man became frightened and could only bring up the Group Leader as his backing.

"I couldn’t care less if he dies." Tang Zheng had no time to talk nonsense with this guy and drove off.

Not wanting to die, Jesus Man struggled, taking out the Mechanical Nanoinjection Liquid with his remaining hand, but before he could inject it into his body, a bullet came flying, exploding his palm and shattering the potion, which spilled all over the ground.

"How ruthless." Jesus Man was filled with an indescribable rage; he knew Tang Zheng wanted him to bleed to death alive. He longed for Tong Ping to come to rescue him, but all he could do was feel disappointed.

At this moment, the Instant Noodle Squad was arguing.

"We should strike too, otherwise how can we explain ourselves?" Su Ameng disliked being a coward, swinging her Whip and clamoring to go teach the enemy a lesson.

"No explanation needed, Tang Zheng told us to stay put, he’s the Group Leader," Zheng Xiaxia said sarcastically, not wanting to go to the Frontline, and as for Jesus Man’s fate, she didn’t care.

"Fine then, I’ll go by myself." With a flicker, Su Ameng disappeared from the carriage, appearing fifty meters away the next second, then she took out a Beetle and drove forward.

"Jesus Man is critically injured, no hope for him!" Less than thirty seconds later, the voice of Su Ameng rang out from the vehicle’s communicator, "He’s lying halfway along the road, it was Tang Zheng who did it. I’m chasing after him now, someone come and save him."

"Damn it, that Group Leader is way over the line!" Xu Nian complained, but didn’t mention going to save Jesus Man at all; an injured survivor was worthless, not worth the risk.

"Let’s go check it out anyway." Tong Ping was also frustrated, but he guessed the reason; surely Jesus Man was caught trying to run away, and it would be strange if he wasn’t killed.

"Big brother Tong, won’t you say something? Are we just going to let that Tang act so recklessly?" Xu Nian was upset with Tang Zheng because of Qin Yan’s matter.

"What do you suggest we do, fight? We are not even a match for him." Zeng Fanghai reproached Xu Nian; what were they thinking at a time like this, always thinking with their lower body? He felt unlucky to be stuck with this kind of team and couldn’t help but start envying Xu Biyun and the others.

By the time the Instant Noodle Squad arrived at Jesus Man’s side, the guy was already dead. Three of his limbs were broken, and he lay in a pool of blood, looking miserable, like a pitiful bug.

"Perhaps we should split from them?" Zheng Xiaxia became frightened the moment she confirmed Tang Zheng would kill.

"When you live under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head," Tong Ping sighed. In fact, he also had his own small plans because he was Third-order, so no matter what, the Warhammer Team probably wouldn’t provoke him, and his life safety could be guaranteed.

"Actually, Tang is a good guy." Zeng Fanghai remembered Tang Zheng’s character and couldn’t help speaking up for him; Lin Chen, standing beside him, nodded his head, at least Tang wouldn’t abandon any newcomers.

Kong Dai frowned upon seeing the Monster shooting out, which was human-shaped, nearly three meters tall, wrapped in a rusting set of Power Armor, probably due to years of neglect, showing a dusty grey color.

It’s two eyes emitted a dark green luster, like two jewels, and as its gaze swept over, it felt as if a savage Wild Beast had set its sights on him. It had no hair but strips of Tentacles as thick as fingers undulating constantly, terrifying to the utmost.

This Monster also had a three-meter-long tail capable of piercing through steel.

Ah, Kong Dai screamed, holding the rifle with one arm, shooting at the Biochemical Bugman, but the bullets that hit it were all deflected.

The Biochemical Bugman didn’t stop but, as it rushed past Kong Dai, swept its tail and chopped off his head with its sharp tail; then with a thrust, it pierced the flying head, smashing it to the ground, shattered like a Walnut.

Kong Dai’s headless Corpse fell to the ground as Blood gushed out.

"You run first." Shen Qingshuang heard the footsteps behind her, pushed Feng Ning, and stood in its way, firing at the Monster.

"It doesn’t work?" Discovering that the Thunderballs couldn’t penetrate the Monster’s armor, Shen Qingshuang felt almost desperate. His Ability was supportive, with too weak combat power, but compared to Jesus Man, his teammates were much stronger. Just as the Biochemical Bugman shot out a laser Boomerang to behead him, a searing beam came flying, striking the Boomerang, knocking it off-course.

Tang Zheng, holding the Gauss Sniper Rifle, gave Shen Qingshuang a hand, then armed Hellfire, while Dantai donned the Power Armor and shot out like a Meteor; they had all seen the fully armed Biochemical Bugman.

This guy was a Bioengineered human, extracts from the Insect Race genes, but after several generations, it had evolved in a direction that was not as intended. The original purpose was to make it a combat weapon to fight the Insect Race, but once fully armed, the Queen controlled it with brainwaves, turning it into a big enemy for the native humans.

The combat instincts of the Biochemical Bugman were branded in its genes. Seeing Dantai rush towards it, it bravely pounced, raising the Heavy Rifle named Hellfire in its hands and firing a large-caliber bullet wrapped in a green glow.

This kind of Bullet was filled with Special Elixir, which upon contact with the human body, immediately created a reaction that destroyed bodily functions—even a small touch could cause significant damage.

Dantai had just dodged when the sides of the Biochemical Bugman’s armor opened, revealing two multi-barrel machine guns, bursting towards him with bullets filled with Special Metals, one of which could even penetrate a Leopard Tank’s armor.

In the blink of an eye, the passage was covered by a barrage, and bullets hit the alloy walls, ricocheting. Tang Zheng flew to Feng Ning and Shen Qingshuang, who had activated her defense shield, helping them block the bullets. The bullets struck the Hellfire armor, actually denting it.

Data on Dantai’s screen flickered chaotically. He had just turned off unnecessary functions when a Biochemical Bugman pounced on him, with a clang, the Polymer Chainsaw Blade on his back dropped, and he gripped it in his hand and slashed towards Dantai’s head.

Whirring, the Chainsaw Blade activated, the noise so loud it could burst eardrums, and a red hue emanated from the blade—it was a laser coating, an armor-piercing weapon.

Dantai drew his Beam Saber to clash with it, and with a blast from the light beam in his left palm, he shot at the face of the Biochemical Bugman, unfortunately without inflicting any damage.

"You guys get out of here," Tang Zheng burst forth. A tail fused with rare metals plunged into Dantai’s chest, followed by a continuous firing of the Hellfire at his head.

Surprisingly unable to free himself, Dantai urgently activated the Energy Cannon in his chest, hitting the Biochemical Bugman and sending it flying.

"All together now!" Tang Zheng wasn’t gentlemanly enough to consider a fair duel; he started up the shield and lunged for a beatdown. The physique of the Biochemical Bugman was impressive, as wild as a Tyrannosaurus, and combined with formidable armor, it managed to fight on par with him and the deputy group leader, even without using their abilities.

"So embarrassing!" Dantai, frustrated, unleashed a Mental Impact. The Biochemical Bugman’s head reeled, showing an obvious pause in movement.

Seizing the opportunity, Tang Zheng landed a punch on its face and grabbed its neck with one hand, swinging it towards the wall.

The Biochemical Bugman roared, trying to counterattack, but as it struggled to free itself from Tang Zheng’s grasp, a heavy pressure descended like it had been shackled by gravity, involuntarily slamming into the ground.

Tang Zheng activated Gravity Suppression and burst a Seed, aiming to quickly resolve the fight.

"Going for a violent disassembly, huh?" Without stopping his Mental Impact, Dantai hammered at the Biochemical Bugman. They coordinated, firmly suppressing the monster.

"So strong." Teng Yuangxiang, watching through the monitor, was impressed by the Biochemical Bugman’s helpless state against Tang Zheng and Dantai, knowing that the creature had just effortlessly killed six people as if chopping vegetables.

Shen Qingshuang entered the Beetle, miserably wishing for death, and desperately wanting to become stronger. Feng Ning hugged her knees, curled up, and sobbed inconsolably.

"This thing’s armor is really tough." Dantai, seeing his gauntlets somewhat deformed, took a sharp breath. If it wasn’t for him and Tang Zheng’s abilities, both being types of restraints, letting this creature exert its strength would definitely result in a tough battle. A monster capable of both attack and defense was too tricky to handle.

Tang Zheng drove the snowball into the Biochemical Bugman’s head and stirred it forcefully, splattering crimson blood, but the creature’s vitality was so strong it still struggled.

"Not dead yet?" Dantai plunged the Chikushi-Monji Zeizong into the Biochemical Bugman’s heart, ready to split it in two, when suddenly it convulsed, and a red light illuminated its heart area.

"Not good, retreat!" Tang Zheng went full throttle with the thruster, retreating while firing additional shots, but he was still a moment too late. The Biochemical Bugman self-destructed, and an intense explosion created flames that swept through the passage for hundreds of meters like a Fire Dragon, devouring everything in its path.

Teng Yuangxiang, who was crouching at the firing hole, saw the flames rushing towards her, and the vehicle flipped, causing her to scream in fright.

It took a full minute before the dust settled, and Tang Zheng and Dantai climbed up, looking dusty and disheveled. Although uninjured, their Power Armor was burned black, a rather embarrassing sight.

"Heh heh!" They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Forget it, not even scraps left to salvage," Dantai bemoaned, having wanted the Biochemical Bugman’s gun, but it was now unattainable.

"Let’s go check on the others," Tang Zheng flew towards the capsized Whale Hunting Vehicle, "Jing Xiang, are you okay?"

"I’m okay." Jing Xiang was hit in the head and bled all over her face. Teng Yuangxiang was better off but still sustained injuries. Shen Qingshuang and Feng Ning in another Beetle were also just lightly wounded and safe.

"Come over here, all clear now," Tang Zheng contacted Qin Yan through the Throat Microphone, then patted the wall of the vehicle, "You guys wait here, Dantai and I will fly ahead to check."

The scout team suffered heavy losses, and Tang Zheng did not want a repeat experience. Dantai did not refuse, and the two flew through the passage, one after the other, quickly.

"Hurry, speed up," Qin Yan urged the fleet to accelerate. With the group leader and deputy group leader joining forces, the road ahead was surely safe, an ideal time to make haste.

"Now it’s definitely safe," Zheng Xiaxia decided she could get a good rest. Though she didn’t admit it out loud, she knew in her heart that Tang Zheng was very strong.
