Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361
Hot red lava surged from beneath the ground, instantly flooding the floor and turning the surroundings into an ocean with the pungent smell of sulfur gas mixed with white steam, hissing loudly.
Feeling the scorching heat on their faces, the Conquerors stepped back to avoid friendly fire. Sha Ou looked at the policewoman enviously, his telekinesis was also decent, but it paled in comparison to such large scale, intense attack abilities.
The female receptionist had lost her footing, her body being mortal flesh. Though she could hold out a bit longer, eventually, she would be burned to a crisp. She punched through the wall, stood on it, and tried to leap away, but the precision shots from the orbital cannon in the sky intercepted her.
The female receptionist dodged in a hurry, but there were too many orbital cannons. She was hit, knocked down into the lava, tentacles flailing as she tried to climb out. But under Dong Zixuan’s control, the lava surged in waves like a tsunami.
Ruan Feifei’s right hand was wrapped in blue electric arcs. Each time she swung her arm, she threw an electric sphere like a baseball, which upon reaching the female receptionist’s head, exploded into dozens of tiny lightning arrows, bombarding her body.
The numbing sensation from the electric shocks deformed the female receptionist’s movements. Her tentacles intertwined, forming a meat shield, but amid the lava, flames, and beam cannons, it continually fell apart, splashing flesh and fluids everywhere.
The Conquerors, retreating to a safe area, didn’t stay idle either, wielding heavy firepower to finish her off, ensuring she couldn’t climb out.
Screams, wails, and curses arose, but unfortunately, the female receptionist’s hysterical rage caused barely a ripple as the Time-space Blackfish tore at her body, and Sha Ou’s telekinesis blasts periodically dragged her back into the lava.
To prevent the female receptionist from escaping, ice walls rose around the lava, and the floor froze. Even if some cellular tissue escaped, it wouldn’t survive but would instead freeze to death.
"Having more people is an advantage!" Lu Fan boasted while clutching the White Ivory saber in a sneaky attack, ecstatic, "Nowadays, only fools face off one-on-one."
"It’s not about the numbers, but the right abilities." Sha Ou couldn’t hide his envy. "It’d be great if Dong Zixuan were stronger. We need to protect our three group killers well."
"Hey, I count too!" Lu Fan poked Sha Ou’s waist, annoyed at being overlooked. She knew her Sasha ability was more defensive than offensive, "Hmph, wait until I activate Hero Mode, I’ll be amazingly powerful."
"Where did your boss take that old man? Speak up, and I might let you go!" Tang Zheng didn’t forget to interrogate for intelligence, though he didn’t expect much.
Sure enough, the female receptionist glared fiercely at Tang Zheng and said nothing.
"Boost the firepower, or else the Men in Black will arrive." Qin Yan was not a cold-hearted woman, unwilling to cause more slaughter of the innocents.
"You’re just too kind-hearted, worrying about strangers? Who cares if they live or die?" Ruan Feifei only cared about surviving and didn’t bother about others.
Despite fierce resistance, the female receptionist, amidst alternating attacks of lava and lightning, struggled for five minutes before dying. Everyone understood that if Tang Zheng had not employed the right tactics, they would have faced a fierce battle, possibly leading to serious injuries instead of just signs of fatigue in the policewoman and Ruan Feifei, which a dose of Sweet Spring Potion would easily mend.

After she died, the lava reversed into the surface, leaving a mess behind along with several Golden Seeds and a flesh-colored badge from the female receptionist.
Tentacle Shield, SS level, defense power doubled against technological attacks.
"Dong Zixuan, it’s yours!" Since the policewoman had exerted a lot of effort and was of lower rank, Tang Zheng gave the shield to her, and the remaining seeds went to the female anchor.
Ruan Feifei had no objections, knowing Tang Zheng wanted more attackers. Besides, the policewoman was more compliant than she was.
"The Men in Black are here!" Shen Qingshuang deployed detection spiders, monitoring the surroundings and quickly alerted the group leader upon seeing the feedback on the screen.
"It’s about time for them. Get ready for battle with Hellfire, cover others to get to the car, and evacuate!" This mission’s sole achievement was the elimination of the female receptionist, a target listed on the Trojan List.
As Tang Zheng spoke, roughly a dozen Men in Black in black suits dropped down from the ceiling and started shooting.
The Conquerors’ shields deflected the incoming barrage. Lu Fan waved her hand, and a cloud of dust erupted, shielding the Newbie’s head.
Ruan Feifei threw lightning balls with her right hand into the midst of the Men in Black, exploding with electric arrows flying chaotically; although they hit, they had no visible effect on these well-equipped adversaries.
As the group leader, Tang Zheng naturally received focused attention, with almost half the firepower directed at him.
His shield trembled under the bombardment, and he quickly moved away from the team, trying to draw the Men in Black away while aiming the Empress Dowager gun at the nearest adversary, firing rapidly.
The quality of the Men in Black was evident as they also had shields; however, after dodging three shots, one was hit, vaporized, leaving only tattered clothes behind.
Hellfire Armor flowed out from the wristwatch and enveloped Tang Zheng’s entire body. He instantly turned and pounced towards the man in black.
One man in black suddenly saw only darkness as a steel monster appeared before him. His back-mounted flight system ignited, attempting to dodge, but Tang Zheng had already grabbed his head with one hand. An impact beam shot out, blowing his head to pieces, and then he was violently slammed onto the ground.
Lin Weiguo and Qin Yan donned their Hellfire armor and took the lead, charging towards the museum’s main entrance. Bai Guo wanted to stay back to help Tang Zheng, but collided with an alien species and was sent flying.
The men in black weren’t all human; they had recruited alien species to resist powerful enemies. If not for the Nuclear Flame team dispersing the Black Suit’s forces, the Warhammer Squad would have faced even more of them.
"Be careful, some of them are not human." Mu Nianqi killed a man in black, and liquid metal also flowed from her wristwatch, covering her entire body in red and gold. Her armor outlined her shapely figure, presenting a heroic demeanor.
Queen Mu rushed towards a man in black who fired at her. With a graceful spin, as if dancing, she brushed past him. However, beam sabers shot from her arm, and after she had passed, the man in black’s body burst into blood and chunks of flesh.
"You have power armor too?" Little Lolita pouted, envious. She released a Scavenger and hopped on, dual-wielding 30mm caliber machine guns that immediately roared to life, tearing apart a man in black and blowing him up midair.
"In the Holy Land, power armor is standard." Mu Nianqi’s Hellfire wasn’t bought; with their team’s skill, they could snatch it, though that was extremely difficult as anyone who afford this gear was formidable.
"Fanfan, hurry up." Tang Zheng didn’t want Little Lolita staying here. "Bai Guo, you retreat as well."
Natural Stupid crawled out from the rubble, aiming at her target, an alien species that hadn’t approached yet; Tang Zheng flew in from the side and struck it.
The chest-mounted energy cannon charged up, the alien species panicked, but Tang Zheng locked its neck with both arms, leaving it no chance to escape.
Boom—the energy cannon directly pierced through the alien species’ chest, and its legs dropped down.
In one round of combat, the men in black lost half their forces, leaving only alien species with somewhat decent defense power.
The committee was also full of concerns, wanting to recruit alien species but fearing that they might rebel if uncontrollable. Therefore, they chose those neither high nor low. Faced with people like Warhammer, they were hardly a match; the only trouble-makers were those of the bio-disaster level, but these creatures were contained in heavy prisons on the moon, some even killed the moment they were captured.
"If you don’t want to die, then behave." Tang Zheng roared, not believing that these alien species would fight to the death for humans.
"Why say so much? Just kill them, they’re all points!" Queen Mu said coldly, turning deadly, treating alien species no differently than ants.
"Stop!" Tang Zheng blocked Mu Nianqi, staring at the men in black, whose faces were full of apprehension and indecisiveness, but Tang Zheng’s kindness made them slightly lower their guard.
"You must have seen a man who could release heat similar to the sun." Tang Zheng studied the expressions of the men in black. "I want to know where he went."
As a national instruments of violence, the men in black naturally had information channels far superior to these ’fugitives’ like Tang Zheng.
"Speak up, and I might spare your lives!" Queen Mu was momentarily stunned, then it dawned on her that even if Nuclear Flame and their own mission didn’t conflict, knowing his whereabouts in advance might help deduce some information, but she remained forceful, never begging.
This seemingly patronizing tone irked the men in black, causing unrest.
"Hmph!" Mu Nianqi snorted coldly, bursting forth like lightning.
Tang Zheng was quick too, thrusters on full blast, appearing like teleportation amidst the men in black with the force of a fierce knight.
Just as a school of sardines panicked when a shark broke in, the men in black thought not of resistance; they fled, a square-faced man was targeted, barely taking three steps before Tang Zheng grabbed his hair.
The square-faced man was terrified beyond measure, not daring to resist, exploded into black smoke that drifted as he continued to flee.
Tang Zheng appeared behind the square-faced man, grabbed the headless corpse with both hands, not waiting for another head to grow, tore it apart with brute force, spilling its insides across the floor.
Queen Mu also slaughtered a man in black, they tried to escape, but sadly were stopped by the female musketeers, Tang Zheng descended, seizing another unlucky soul.
"Whoever runs, dies!" Tang Zheng clenched his wrist, the alien species’ face turning red, nearly suffocating, "If you don’t answer, you still die!"
"Why waste words, break their legs, then interrogate them." Queen Mu played the bad cop, applying the final straw. She saw clearly, these guys couldn’t hold on much longer.(To be continued.
