Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328
"I don’t know him!" Li Huiwen blurted out, noticing that her husband recognized Tang Zheng and seemed to be on good terms. If he found out she had seduced his friend, she would be utterly mortified, but bigger troubles loomed as the men she had dealt with were not easy to dismiss.
"Hui Wen, is this your husband?" A man with a pockmarked face said with a malicious grin, pretending to be familiar as he struck up a conversation with Old Xu, "Nice to meet you, I’m a friend of your wife!"
"Dammit!" Xu Liangmao broke free from Tang Zheng’s grip and threw a punch that knocked Pockmark Face over, then started beating him furiously. There was no way he didn’t recognize him; Xu had been the first one he slaughtered days ago.
"Old Xu, calm down," Tang Zheng said, holding the honest man back. "Let’s talk it over later."
"F*ck! Are you mad, dog? Biting everyone? I just slept with your..."
Li Huiwen’s face changed, and the newbies all showed expressions of interest in the juicy gossip.
"Shut up!" Tang Zheng swung his leg and kicked Pockmark Face in the face, breaking his nose. Blood spurted out like water from a broken faucet.
The Conquerors exchanged glances and surrounded them, advising Old Xu not to be impulsive after taking a look at Li Huiwen.
"Uncle Xu, fighting a newbie will get you punished. If you’re frustrated, let Tang Zheng do it," Lu Fan said as he pulled out a dagger and handed it to Tang Zheng. "So, shall we cut the tendons in the hand or foot?"
Xu Liangmao said nothing, stood up, and went to a corner, lighting a cigarette and smoking half of it in one breath.
The smoke enveloped Old Xu’s cheek, clearly agitated and depressed.
Tang Zheng glanced at Li Huiwen and saw her pleading eyes. He knew she did not want her secrets exposed.
"Let’s clear the air when we enter the game, keeping it all in isn’t helping," sighed Qin Yan. But deep down, she despised Li Huiwen; they had all seen her on the Trojan screens at home, biting strange men for which Tang Zheng had even shot up the Trojan.
The newbies, terrified by the brutality of Tang Zheng’s group, dared not speak out.
"That’s more like it. Show some of that fearless spirit," said Mu Nianqi, arms crossed, watching the farce unfold. The unyielding cruelty of Trojan World spared no one for their family ties.
"What is this place?" asked a newbie, gathering courage.
"This is Trojan World. We will be engaging in a slaughter game soon. If you want to survive, do as we say!" Dong Zixuan said, standing up to help more people make it through, but her words brought more questioning.
The Conquerors’ heads ached from the babble of the newbies. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel-fire.ɴet
"Shut up!" Pang Meiqin pulled out her handgun and fired two shots into the ceiling, quelling the unrest.
An intense rock version of the International Song started playing. The Black Cube rotated and floated into the air, its screen lighting up.
"Toys, entertain me with your lowly lives and sweet blood!" Following the familiar opening, the Trojan wasted no time in announcing the start of the game.
Someone shouted at the Trojan, asking who he was, but was flatly ignored.
"Five minutes until the survival challenge game begins. Please choose your equipment. Each person can only choose one!"
The floor cracked open, and a steel frame full of weapons and boxes rose up.
Xu Liangmao looked at his wife, wanting to say something but hesitated.
"Come get a box, don’t be afraid, we’re friends of Brother Xu!" Ai Yixin intervened. Even as wicked as she was, she was still Old Xu’s wife and had to take care of it.
"The boxes contain protective clothing that can help you survive better. Line up and don’t rush." Dong Zixuan clapped her hands, directing the newbies. Hearing that the boxes contained lifesaving items, the women started frantically grabbing them.
Some were initially skeptical of Dong Zixuan, but driven by the mentality of not missing out, they started swarming.
"Look, this is the quality of newbies. I’ve never seen them queue up," Pang Meiqin remarked on the destined losers, somewhat sighfully, "They won’t listen unless you’re harsh."
The women were grabbing fiercely. A few got stepped on, leading to arguments, and one woman’s shirt was torn off, revealing her smooth back.
Probably because some were prostitutes, the group of women, bold in their actions, immediately changed into the black tight tops and Capri pants after opening the boxes, driven by instinctual fear to the sound of Trojan’s mechanical voice.
Sha Ou whistled, wishing he could capture the scene.
"Brother Sha!" The Princess, hugging a box, came over, striking a pose of fragile femininity.
"Don’t just stand there, hurry and wear it. We might be teleported into a big battle." Sha Ou pinched the princess’s chest playfully and chuckled, "Shall I help you?"
"Trojan, what’s this mission?" Tang Zheng paid ten points to inquire.
"Hunt the alien species. Because of your fearless identity, here’s an extra piece of intelligence: this round has a technology theme. Be particularly cautious of a creature from Kunta Star."
Three, two, one—the countdown ended, and the teleportation began.
A white light kept shining, and the toys were transported into the game.
After a moment of darkness, they found themselves in a corridor lined with red carpet, flanked by doors marked with numbers.
"A hotel?" Pang Meiqin, carrying Hell’s Song, approached a door, ready to break in and gather some intelligence.
"Brother Lin, Sha Ou, you’re a team, Dong Zixuan, have all the newbies change clothes, Bai Guo, follow me, everyone else check the entire floor!" Tang Zheng commanded as he headed towards another door, pulled out a silenced handgun, and smashed the door handle.
Bai Guo turned invisible and entered first.
"There’s no need to be so cautious!" Tang Zheng reminded, storming into the living room with Mother Queen’s howl.
"Didn’t you hear? Change clothes!" Ruan Feifei growled, but still, a few newbies felt too embarrassed in such a public setting and refused.
The female anchor didn’t care how many newbies died.
"You, go to the bedroom!" In the pitch-dark living room, Tang Zheng twisted on the tactical flashlight and silently sprinted to the bright floor-to-ceiling window. From the twentieth floor, he could see the endless stream of cars on Long Street, flanked by skyscrapers flashing with various neon lights.
"I hate the black night the most," Shen Qingshuang complained, forcing herself to calm down.
"How do you know it’s night?" the gaming girl asked, puzzled.
"The ceiling lights are on!" Gu Xueqi pointed above her head, not straying too far so she could get support quickly if danger arose.
"It seems to be a city in America, everything is in English!" Tang Zheng turned on the television, flipped through several channels, and confirmed by the Super Bowl event.
Pang Meiqin’s tactical flashlight swept over a bed in the bedroom, where a man was sleeping. She was about to leave when the man awoke, startled by the sudden intruder and about to scream.
Thud, thud, Pang Meiqin fired, the silencer making a muffled sound, and bullets shot into the man’s head, turning him into a mess of broken flesh.
"What happened?" Lin Weiguo ran over.
"Nothing, a small issue, let’s go!" Pang Meiqin left, and the two did not see that the corpse’s stomach had burst open, and a spider-like multi-legged insect crawled out and chased after them.
"Nothing found!" Watching Tang Zheng’s questioning look, Lin Weiguo shook his head.
"It shouldn’t be, not a single piece of news, what is Trojan trying to do by teleporting us here?" Lu Fan pondered, touching his chin.
"Let’s go to the front desk and ask, regardless, let’s leave the hotel first!" Tang Zheng led the way out, worried that this might be the alien species’ lair.
Everyone hurried to follow, and the multi-legged insect burst out, climbing onto a short-haired woman’s calf, opened its large mouth, and bit through her flesh before burrowing inside.
"Ouch!" the short-haired woman screamed, turning back to see some blood on her calf. Her protective clothing was Capri pants, which unfortunately didn’t cover that area.
"What’s wrong?" The Conquerors turned back in unison.
"It’s, it’s nothing, just a mosquito bite," the short-haired woman quickly explained.
"No screaming unless there’s danger," Tang Zheng warned before turning to leave, no one noticed a small bump forming on the woman’s calf, traveling up her thigh, and stopping at her vest.
With over a hundred people, the elevators couldn’t accommodate everyone, so Tang Zheng chose the stairs, safely reaching the hotel lobby where two on-duty security guards approached this group of strangers.
Without wasting words, Tang Zheng knocked them down with a couple of chops.
The receptionist, frightened by these violent folks, tried to make a phone call.
"Don’t move!" Sha Ou and Lin Fachan pointed their handguns at her.
"What city is this?" Pang Meiqin had just asked when she heard a scream behind her.
A bodyguard’s clothing burst open, and a dozen tentacles sprang from his body, stabbing at the nearest newbie.
The tentacles’ tips were razor-sharp, easily piercing the unfortunate newbie’s chest, sucking out his fresh blood.
The Conquerors’ muzzles turned and fired wildly, turning it into broken flesh.
"So these are the alien species? Seems easy to kill?" the gaming girl found the challenge somewhat low.
"Answer the question." Pang Meiqin tapped the desk, snapping the receptionist out of it, "Do you recognize this thing?"
The receptionist’s head suddenly split open, and a massive head the size of a hot air balloon inflated instantly, then opened a mouth full of sharp teeth, biting at Pang Meiqin.
Pang Meiqin stepped back, raised her gun, and fired explosive arrows, leaving several bomb craters in the alien’s big head.
The alien roared and grabbed the desk, hurling it out. Its body had completely transformed by now; its slender legs had become muscular, its height had increased to three meters, and it had grown a crocodile-like tail.
With a leap, the alien pounced at Pang Meiqin.
Pang Meiqin drew her Ripper, and amidst the sound of the chainsaw, she slashed down at the alien’s head. The chainsaw blade cut through the skin, and green blood splattered. (To be continued.
