Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351
Xu Liangmao fell silent, according to his mother’s character, it was indeed possible she had given the money to his good-for-nothing brother.
"No more to say, right? They are her guardians, they are fully entitled to do so. Even if the daughter sues in court, she won’t get the money back." Li Huiwen, knowing Xu Liangmao was not familiar with the law, scared him on purpose, "No matter what, one of us must survive."
"This is the Seed Tang Zheng gave me; you just need to activate it to have abilities." Before Xu Liangmao could finish, Li Huiwen snatched it eagerly.
"Wait until it’s safe to use it, otherwise you’ll need to sleep for twelve hours with no one to look after you." The miserable man warned, but it was too late, Li Huiwen did not even bother with a free question session and simply chose to use it without doubting its authenticity, because the miserable man was too dumb to make a convincing lie."
Thud, Li Huiwen fell unconscious, collapsing to the ground.
"Sister Huiwen, what’s wrong with you?" Ran Mei was startled, rushing to help, "Brother Xu, is she alright?"
"She won’t die." Xu Liangmao cursed under his breath, but still got up and helped Li Huiwen to the bed, then looked towards Ran Mei.
This was another foolish woman. Though she coveted the chance to possess superpowers, she lacked the greed to claim them as her own, not daring to even ask if there were any extra Seeds.
"What’s wrong?" Ran Mei, unsettled under Xu Liangmao’s gaze, asked.
"Nothing." Xu Liangmao sighed. He liked her character and wanted to help her in a genuinely pure way, but since Tang Zheng was the group leader, he did not want to cause trouble, so he kept his mouth shut, "Just be extra careful!"
With faltering steps, Xu Liangmao left the room, heading into battle.
Under Giant Guard status, Lin Weiguo’s resistance to hits sharply increased. Together with Ai Yixin, they successfully restrained the Green Giant. Tang Zheng swung his Warhammer continuously, bashing its head. Although it did not deform, blood covered its face.
Water appeared on the ground, which quickly froze and captured the Green Giant’s legs, visibly spreading up as an ice layer.
Tao Ran’s Time-space Blackfish attacked frequently, unfortunately its damaging power was too weak. However, its Calamity Claw effect activated, and everyone’s attacks on the Green Giant worsened its wounds, making them rapidly decay.
Dong Zixuan was anxious but powerless. Her ability was too lethal and had a wide range, which was counterproductive as it could interfere with others.
Mu Nianqi jumped down from above, surrounded by spinning air blades mid-air, projecting them onto the Green Giant’s face, attempting to blind it.
Tang Zheng finally got a breather and took out the Magic Mirror to gather energy.
The Green Giant, enraged by the beatings, wanted to explode but was firmly held back by Lin Weiguo and Ai Yixin, causing its attacks to become more chaotic and its arms to flail wildly.
Invisible, Bai Guo prepared for a sneak attack but, unluckily, received a heavy punch just as he approached, sending him flying like a baseball and crashing through a wall, falling out of the room. Fortunately, he managed to activate his shield in time; otherwise, he would have definitely been wounded. Original content can be found at ɴovelfire.net
Qin Yan arrived, summoning the Shadow Country, and with the Green Lantern Ring activated, a six-barreled machine gun appeared in her hand, firing not bullets, but beams of light like arrows, all hitting the Green Giant and scorching its skin.
The Green Giant roared furiously, stomping both feet, and the floor cracked loudly with stones popping up. The Green Giant punched them away, then bent over to lift a large piece of concrete, hurling it at Lin Weiguo.
Lin Weiguo did not dodge; otherwise, he would have exposed himself and allowed the Green Giant to escape. Thus, he took the hit; the block of concrete smashed onto his head and shattered into powder.
Using it as a cover, the Green Giant jumped, trying to break free, but Qin Yan threw her Magic Gun, embedding it in its chest, and two ice pillars also rose from the ground, wrapping around its ankles. Lin Weiguo roared and jumped, grabbing its ankles and swinging it towards the ground.
The Magic Mirror shot a dazzling beam of light, hitting the Green Giant, which ignited like a torch doused in gasoline.
Like a cornered beast, the Green Giant struggled and roared unwillingly, but it could not reverse the fate of its defeat. Tang Zheng’s Warhammer popped one of its eyeballs, and the Magic Gun pierced through its skull, nailing it to the wall, while Bai Guo appeared, delivering a vicious knockout.
The corpse of the Green Giant disappeared; it was stronger than the Green Lantern, but still, it didn’t drop any items besides three Golden Seeds and some power-enhancing potions and a few bottles of sweet springs.
"You guys split them. Also, clean up the battlefield." These items were already cheap for Tang Zheng; there was no need for him to distribute them personally.
"Is it over?" The miserable man leaned against the wall, appearing worried as he looked at the chaotic battlefield, "Did anyone get hurt?"
"Why are you out here? Go rest; this little issue doesn’t need your involvement." Tang Zheng ran up the stairs, supporting the miserable man’s arm, "Come on, I’ll take you."
"Group Leader, are you hurt? Do you need my help?" Qian Rong ran over, eagerly trying to support Tang Zheng’s arm.
"Is something on your mind?" Tang Zheng waved his hand, dismissing Qian Rong. Xu Liangmao had a wrinkled face, obviously heavy-hearted.
"I gave Li Huiwen a Seed." The miserable man sighed, "No matter what, she’s still my wife, and I’m thinking of our daughter."
"No need to explain, I understand," Tang Zheng patted the miserable man’s shoulder and smiled, "It mainly depends on you, if the team accepts her, there will be no problem."
The house had nearly turned into ruins, it was definitely not livable anymore, and it had caused disturbance to the neighbors. It was estimated that relevant personnel would come for inspection soon, so they must relocate quickly.
"Hey, we’re moving, come with me," Tang Zheng rushed to the laboratory to call the female doctor. Having a native as a guide was very convenient, and he planned to not let this doctor leave until he had completed his mission.
"No, I’ve started a new project that needs research," the female doctor, not even turning her head, stood in front of the experiment table, her expression focused.
"Are you planning on making me kidnap you?" Tang Zheng was only slightly more amenable to talk because he had rolled in the sheets with this woman, otherwise, he would have resorted to direct violent coercion since he had no time to waste.
"Alright, it’s not urgent anyway." Hearing the firm tone in Tang Zheng’s voice, the female doctor compromised, packed up the seeds, and said, "Let’s go!"
The female doctor indeed was an odd one; she didn’t even prepare to leave properly. As she passed by Tang Zheng, she made a knee-strike gesture towards his groin.
Tang Zheng didn’t move; he saw that the woman was just bluffing.
"Hmph!" The female doctor reached out her hand in displeasure, but Tang Zheng caught her wrist, "Don’t get annoyed, just get ready quickly."
Ten minutes later, all the survivors had boarded the bus. Tang Zheng didn’t plan to find a new hideout, instead opting for guerilla tactics to prevent the men in black from capturing their pattern.
"Sixty percent are dead now, why hasn’t the annihilation punishment arrived?" Bai Guo counted the number of people, her face somewhat pale.
Hearing this, the newbies’ expressions weren’t great either, all of them subconsciously staring at Tang Zheng.
"There might have been a change," Tang Zheng of course had noticed earlier, but he didn’t speak to avoid causing panic.
"The Trojan’s evil taste, perhaps? Just toying with us," Lin Weiguo believed it was not that exaggerated.
"No, it might be that we have completed some hidden mission, so the annihilation was canceled," Mu Nianqi disagreed, the Trojan didn’t have the authority in major matters, everything was dealt with according to the rules.
"Hmph, because Tang Zheng, this lucky toy, triggered a hidden mission, the annihilation threshold is raised to eighty percent," the voice from the wristwatch announced the Trojan’s message, "Please, within three days, kill these ten alien species and retrieve the Sacred Object."
Ten photos popped up from the virtual screen, three of which made Tang Zheng frown.
"What’s wrong?" Mu Nianqi’s observational skills were very meticulous.
"In the Detention Center, I saw these three people," Tang Zheng pointed towards the Bald man, the woman in leather clothes, and the old man they had rescued.
"Good chance to ask that female doctor then," For secrecy, the female doctor was placed in a Hummer, Qin Yan stayed with her as a watcher.
Princess in the private room took care of Sha Ou, though she didn’t get a good response, but this instead made her breathe a sigh of relief. If the other party wasn’t angry, it would mean they didn’t care, which would be concerning.
"Hmph, bitch, using you as a meat shield," Sha Ou smiled venomously, having already sentenced the Princess in the private room to death in his mind.
Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi sat in the Hummer, showing the pictures to the female doctor.
"Where did you get these from? All of these are notorious alien species, each one with no less than a hundred lives on their hands, better not provoke them if unnecessary," the female doctor advised.
"This emaciated old man as well?" Tang Zheng, not judging by appearances, took it seriously, "Why did they rescue him, any idea?"
"Hmph, this guy could have annihilated your group at his peak, I heard he is an archaeologist, not sure about the rest," the female doctor wouldn’t tell Tang Zheng that she had personally captured him; otherwise, the committee wouldn’t have allowed her to remove two-thirds of that alien species’ organs as reward.
Mu Nianqi didn’t see anything inappropriate in the female doctor, but this woman instinctively made her uncomfortable, almost wanting to kill her.
Actually, even Tang Zheng had been tricked; the female doctor was completely acting. If she wasn’t willing, no one could kidnap her. She was following these guys just for observation, and if necessary, she was very much willing to dissect one to see.
"They wouldn’t have taken him without reason, tell me about this guy’s background," Mu Nianqi’s brain started working, since they knew the old man, naturally starting from him.
The female doctor, having a good memory, described casually.
As they passed an electronics shop, seeing those televisions broadcasting the news, Tang Zheng suddenly asked Bai Guo to stop the car.
"What’s wrong?" Bai Guo puzzled, "Is someone chasing us?"
"Watch the news, we found the first target," Mu Nianqi sighed, luck was really not bad, a red-haired homicidal maniac had been arrested and locked up in a prison, this guy was one of their targets.
"You all had better get past these men in black first!" The female doctor sneered coldly, the bus ahead stopped, having been intercepted. (To be continued.
