Chapter 1389: Chapter 1389

Several hours before dawn, the exhausted conquerors no longer bothered with conversation and swiftly set up their tents to dive inside, savoring their own private space.

Li Kelun wasn’t a cruel group leader; his team still had over forty newbies, all with food and drink, plus a tent, of course. The catch was, setting up was a DIY affair; if you couldn’t manage it, you’d sleep on the ground, subject to the bites of mosquitoes.

Javier’s identity was delicate, related to whether the Inca Golden City could be found, so he received preferential treatment. As for Carlos and O’Reilly, they were tied up and dumped under a tree; whether they’d be bitten to death by insects by morning, they were left to their fate.

"This Trojan Squad seems rather complete in combat power; approximately eleven have activated abilities, and Li Kelun appears to be a 2nd tier hero." Gu Xueqi, pulling the rope to prop up the tent, let her gaze roam, assessing those people.

In the harsh environment of survival, everyone behaved differently, drawing out their most instinctive urges.

The school beauty saw a couple, seemingly unconcerned about safety, who after consuming their allocated food, made their way into the nearby tree forest, and soon moans were heard; this was clearly a decision to forsake survival for immediate pleasure, to live for the day.

Of course, many newbies and their tents had issues. before entering Trojan World, they had all been ordinary people, and few had camping experience, resulting in a variety of pitiful makeshift shelters.

A group of men grumbled among themselves and approached Tang Zheng with hostile expressions.

"Hey, help us set up a tent!" The ringleader, a tall burly man holding an AK74 rifle, kicked a tent with his foot. "You seem pretty skilled at this, we’re all in this together, give us a hand!"

Since these newbies had stayed in a safe area and hadn’t accompanied the group leader, they hadn’t seen Tang Zheng lose his temper and thought he was ordinary, like Javier, and thus, they wanted to push him around.

"That’s not how you ask for help!" Tang Zheng glanced at Xiang Ning, sitting by the campfire; if he hadn’t wanted to avoid making things too stiff, he would have taken a sleeping bag by now.

"Then how should I ask? ?" As the man looked down at Tang Zheng, who was crouching on the ground, he kicked out with his foot, but Tang Zheng, covered in patches of blood and severe wounds, wasn’t afraid.

The newbies following him also squeezed forward, intending to intimidate through violence. Days of struggling to survive and constant exposure to death split the newbies into two kinds: those who became either more cowardly or more unruly.

To stay alive, you had to be ruthless, ready to fight desperately!

Tang Zheng leaned back to avoid the kick, then swept the man’s ankle with a leg, knocking him off balance. Tang Zheng continued his attack, spinning around and aiming a kick at the man’s lower abdomen, sending him rolling away like a log.

The newbies were stunned, staring dumbfounded at Tang Zheng, completely unexpected his fierceness.

"What are you waiting for? Beat him up!" Despite the pain, the man could still shout, but he couldn’t get up, holding his stomach.

The newbies gritted their teeth, ready to start fighting, but Gu Xueqi had already stepped in front of Tang Zheng, pulling out her handgun, aiming at one newbie’s head.

"Take one step closer, and I’ll shoot!" The school beauty cursed her own powerlessness, hating that the group leader had to waste energy in a place .

"She wouldn’t dare; let’s get him!" The moment one newbie finished speaking, a bullet whizzed past his temple, shearing off some hair.

The newbie wet himself, feeling like he had narrowly escaped death.

"Knock it off, all of you get back!" Xiang Ning cursed at the newbies, then turned to Tang Zheng, "Is it fun picking on the newbies?"

"I’d rather pick on you!" Tang Zheng smirked, "How about it, interested in sharing some feelings?"

Seeing Tang Zheng chat with the team’s second-in-command, the newbies realized they had encountered a tough nut and immediately shut up, slinking away with the kicked man crawling off, head down.

"You wish you were capable!" Xiang Ning huffed, standing up and heading toward the tree forest. "Come on!"

Tang Zheng moved to follow, but Gu Xueqi held him back.

"Don’t worry, take care of yourself!" Patting Gu Xueqi’s arm, Tang Zheng departed; clearly, Xiang Ning didn’t want to tumble sheets but was after various pieces of information.

Tang Zheng followed Xiang Ning into the tree forest, where by moonlight his vision was clear enough to see her voluptuous figure.

"What’s going on?" Tang Zheng merely wanted to check Xiang Ning’s arms and legs to determine whether she was from the close combat series or long-range faction, but his gaze involuntarily landed on her buttocks. With his self-control, that shouldn’t have happened.

"There must be something fishy, could it be a psychic-type ability?" Tang Zheng hadn’t figured it out when he saw Xiang Ning stop and suddenly unzip, stripping off her Protective Clothing to reveal her entire bare back.

"How about it? Am I beautiful?" Xiang Ning teased with a charming smile.

"Are you out of your mind?" Tang Zheng didn’t understand, his eyes scanning the surroundings for anything amiss.

"Falling for a handsome man isn’t allowed?" Xiang Ning displayed a disdainful expression as she approached Tang Zheng, "Is it only okay for you guys to play with women, but not for us to play with men?"

Xiang Ning came closer to Tang Zheng, stretched out her hands, and draped them over his neck. Then she tiptoed and planted a kiss on his lips.

"It feels unpleasant!" Xiang Ning had a valid reason that Tang Zheng couldn’t refute. With the world being so vast and dangerous, running into a woman leading a dissolute life was quite normal.

Tang Zheng tugged at Xiang Ning’s arm, his brows tightly knit; her kissing skills were superb.

"Don’t be in a hurry, enjoy it slowly!" Xiang Ning’s movements were bold.

Tang Zheng’s right hand rested on Xiang Ning’s head, caressing her black hair, letting her continue.

"Hmph, all men are the same!" Xiang Ning crossed her arms and stood ten meters away, leaning against a big tree with a sneer on her lips.

Before Xiang Ning, there lay a real illusionary realm; Tang Zheng and her puppet were talking, gradually relaxing his vigilance.

"I wonder what kind of face you’ll make when you wake up to find yourself making out with a tree. I have to capture this moment!" Xiang Ning’s evil taste kicked in as she fished out a DV camera.

This was Xiang Ning’s ability, the Summer Dreamland, which could unravel a realistic domain, ensnaring the target within. Until she lifted it, the victim would remain ensnared, forever unable to guard against it.

Xiang Ning, being of the psychic type, was most skilled in team battles. Even heroes might fall for her tricks if they weren’t careful. She held Tang Zheng in high regard. To ensure success in one go, she even engaged Hero Mode, releasing an enhanced version of the Summer Dream environment.

"Seducing with beauty is always so deadly, no matter the time!" Xiang Ning was quite proud of herself.

Seeing Tang Zheng knead the puppet’s chest, Xiang Ning, despite her pride, felt a touch of disappointment. She sighed; truth be told, she had taken a liking to this young man. Since their meeting, his actions had been commendable.

Xiang Ning had the puppet probe Tang Zheng for intel, but it was merely a cover. If their roll in the sheets was successful, she would plant a curse in his mind, halving his fighting power whenever he faced her.

Xiang Ning had carefully calculated her approach, but an unexpected turn occurred. Tang Zheng grabbed the puppet’s hair, yanked it down sharply, and landed a brutal knee strike to its groin. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net

"That’s ruthless!" A chill swept over Xiang Ning’s spine; even as a woman, she dreaded such an attack, and the fierceness of his action made it clear he was trying to kill.

The puppet tried to resist, but it was no match for Tang Zheng. Before its fist could reach him, a folding knife pierced its trachea.

The puppet’s body convulsed, blood spattering.

"Come out, this trickery won’t fool anyone!" Tang Zheng discarded the corpse and looked around, "Don’t test my patience."

"How did you spot the flaw?" Xiang Ning, regaining her composure from shock, her face iron blue, dispelled the illusion and appeared before Tang Zheng.

"I didn’t find anything. I just don’t like being played, that’s all. As for killing you, if you can’t even handle that kind of attack, then you don’t deserve to be my ally!"

Tang Zheng’s logic was straightforward but managed to frustrate Xiang Ning to the point of almost spitting blood.

"You’re very cautious, no wonder you’ve survived so long!" Xiang Ning glanced at Tang Zheng before suddenly stepping forward and kissing him.

"You’re trying this again?" Tang Zheng became annoyed.

"Are you even a man?" Xiang Ning frowned and pushed Tang Zheng away, "Pfft, I’m not serving you any longer."

Xiang Ning stomped off in a huff.

Tang Zheng darted forward, grabbing Xiang Ning’s shoulder, about to slam her to the ground. However, as Xiang Ning fell, she managed to grab him, pulling him off balance, and they both tumbled to the ground together, pressed against each other.

"What did you do to me?" Tang Zheng stared at Xiang Ning, nearly seeing through her. It was obvious she wasn’t satisfied with just calling him out and leaving; she must have used some method to get what she wanted.

"Are you that afraid of dying?" Xiang Ning changed the subject, having indeed accomplished her goal. After kissing someone, she could read the information she needed directly from their mind.

"Well, I won’t hold back then!" Suddenly, Tang Zheng reached out and pulled at Xiang Ning’s zipper.

"Are you insane?" Xiang Ning’s body trembled, intending to fight back, but found herself overwhelmed as if she were being pressed down by a mountain, struggling even to move a finger.

Boom, Xiang Ning exploded into Hero Mode, and suddenly darkness surrounded them, with rolling magma appearing, submerging Tang Zheng in it.

"So it’s psychic powers!" The pain was real, but Tang Zheng was unfazed, "I should’ve known, rolling in the sheets with me and not worrying about your Group Leader getting jealous? There must be a catch!"
