Chapter 991: Chapter 42: Interrogating the Captive

A bloodstained severed leg flew past the Korean woman’s ear, sending her screaming loudly, seemingly drained of all strength, her legs went weak, and she crashed to the ground.

"Don’t kill me!" The woman, seeing that Tang Zheng was aiming his gun at her, pleaded for mercy regardless of her twisted ankle.

"Jing Xiang, grab her." The woman was wearing Primary Protective Clothing, obviously a Newbie, Tang Zheng couldn’t bother wasting time on her, and he also planned to take a Captive. He told Jing Xiang, then vaulted off the war chariot and sprinted after the guy in the lead.

"Troublesome!" Seeing that the Chinese youth wouldn’t give up, Kim Taewook felt frustrated, especially because of the Heavy Magnetostorm Rifle in the opponent’s hands. However, there was one piece of good news—the opponent had voluntarily left the war chariot.

"My focus is the enhancement of neural response speed." It took less than ten seconds for Kim Taewook’s confidence to vanish. Like a cheetah, the other man had already closed the distance to within fifteen meters. He clearly wanted to take captives; otherwise he would have opened fire already.

"Hey, running away will only lead you to a dead end, won’t you even try to counterattack?" Tang Zheng was having an easy time of it, starting to play psychological Tactics.

In a moment of realization, Kim Taewook tore off a Hand Grenade from his body as he rounded a corner, pulled the pin and hurled it behind him. The thudding explosion sounds followed immediately.

"You won’t die but will surely be injured, right?" Kim Taewook didn’t dare to look back and ran for his life; then he felt his hair being grabbed, and due to momentum, his body continued moving forward, making him become airborne, tearing off some scalp.

"Ahh!" Kim Taewook screamed as he caught sight of the man now behind him, watching him with a cold smirk, wrapped in a Defense Shield, completely unharmed by the explosion.

"Idiot, throwing grenades will only slow you down." Tang Zheng grabbed Kim Taewook’s hair, yanked it back, then swung the rifle in his right hand and smashed it onto his face.

"Defense!" Kim Taewook shouted, and as the rifle neared an inch from his face, it slid off like hitting butter and went to one side.

Tang Zheng felt the hair he was holding slip, and Kim Taewook wriggled out of his grasp and scrambled to run.

Tang Zheng burst forth and simultaneously swept a kick towards Kim Taewook’s chest. Kim Taewook continued to release his Ability, but this time, it didn’t stop the blow.

Bang, Kim Taewook crashed into the Alloy Wall, fracturing two ribs. His Ability was Defense Type, which made him nearly invulnerable against survivors of the same Order, but against Third-order Tang Zheng, he was destined to be crushed.

Tang Zheng’s left fist clenched tight, he sprinted up close, and punched Kim Taewook squarely in the chest. The sound of fracturing bones rang out, and his chest caved significantly. In that moment, his heart nearly stopped beating.

"Just a piece of Cannon Fodder!" Tang Zheng grabbed Kim Taewook’s head and performed a powerful slam dunk, smashing him against the Wall.

Bang, Kim Taewook’s head burst forth with blood, his entire face seemingly flattened into a pancake, blood from his nose flowed like a fountain, and before he could spit out his shattered teeth, Tang Zheng punched him again, forcing them all down his throat.

Kim Taewook’s consciousness blurred. As Tang Zheng released him, he collapsed to the ground like a dying dog.

Tang Zheng drew the Devil Flame Pistol and aimed it at Kim Taewook’s wrist, firing two bullets that shattered his palms. The intense pain jolted Kim Taewook awake, but his screams were cut short as Tang Zheng kicked him in the mouth.

"Introduce your Group Leader. If I like your answer, I’ll give you a quick death!" Squatting down, Tang Zheng pressed the handgun to Kim Taewook’s forehead.

Kim Taewook’s body shivered and fear spread across his face, recalling Li Zhien’s words, the vice-group leader: it’s better to die than to be Taken Captive because the enemy will make your life worse than death.

"I don’t like to wait." Tang Zheng drew a dagger and pressed it against his face, "Want to see your own flesh and skin?"

"No, I’ll talk!" Kim Taewook mumbled an answer, caving in; he lacked the courage to commit suicide and couldn’t fight back with his hands destroyed. "Just hope you’ll make it quick afterward."

"No problem." Easier than expected, Tang Zheng was quite satisfied.

"Our Group Leader is Kwon Tae Hyun, his Ability is Beastification, Fourth Order. The vice-group leader is Li Zhien, Psychic type, Second Order, the attacker Jin Anhui, Third Order, I haven’t seen her use her Ability." Kim Taewook had a soft spot for Jin Anhui, hesitated for a moment, but didn’t reveal her Ability. As for the two group leaders, he didn’t care about their fate.

"Huh, didn’t think you’d have a soft spot for women." Even though his Korean was not fluent due to his Language Specialization, Tang Zheng had no problem communicating.

"Everyone else is Cannon Fodder. I’ve said everything, now give me a quick end!" Desperation and pain left Kim Taewook’s face deathly pale, his breathing laborious.

"Tell me more about Li Zhien." A Second Order serving as a vice-group leader had to have something unique about him, but unfortunately, Tang Zheng wouldn’t get the answer.

Suddenly, Kim Taewook convulsed due to excessive blood loss leading to respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. He died.

Tang Zheng stood up, fired a shot to blow up Kim Taewook’s head, then picked up the Spoils of War, tossing a Bug Heart onto his body and consuming the Protective Clothing. The man was poor, with only an undamaged AK74M. Aside from some Ammunition and Food in his 10L B-Class Space Backpack, there was nothing else.
