Chapter 1430: Chapter 1430

Several members of Yue Jing’s group, who had survived the last round and just activated their abilities in this roll, felt ashamed upon hearing those words and quickly left the room.

On Tang Zheng’s side, no one moved; they remained calm around him, Lin Fachan and Lin Jing ignored Yue Jing while openly displaying their affection for each other.

"Stop wasting time and talk about the plan instead. Time is crucial!" Dong Zixuan, still not rid of her policewoman habits, spoke directly and bluntly, showing no respect for Yue Jing. She thought he looked too fierce, clearly not a good person; if it were the old days, she would arrest him first and interrogate him for information after a few days in custody.

"I said, except for the Conquerors, everyone else get out. Didn’t you hear?" Yue Jing felt his face couldn’t be saved, and he fiercely punched the table.

Bang—the wooden table splintered, but still, no one moved. Newbies waiting in the trenches craned their necks and peeked inside.

"What’s the matter with you all? Isn’t there any intention to cooperate? If you’re not Conquerors, get out and stop wasting everyone’s time!" The impatient Real Madrid fan urged.

"Are you the ones making unreasonable trouble?" Ruan Feifei sneered, her fingertips sparking with electric arcs.

"Everyone here is a Conqueror, right? No, wait, there are a few fearless ones too." Xu Biyun, counted on her fingers deliberately to provoke them.

"How could it be?" Xiaobai was dumbfounded and roared, "Nearly twenty people? All Conquerors? Do you think we’re fools? The largest group I’ve ever seen had only fourteen members."

"If it weren’t for the Old Soldier leading a team to the Warehouse for supplies, you’d see even more Conquerors," Sha Ou mocked, "It’s not good to embarrass yourself by showing your ignorance!"

"Now you see a group with more than twenty people," Lu Fan spread his hands, eager to stir up chaos.

"What’s with this Little Lolita? I’ve never seen such a burden survive before." Xiaobai pointed at Lu Fan’s face, his expression twisted. This reality was a severe blow.

"Put your hand down or if you point at me again, be careful, I’ll hit you." Lu Fan, annoyed, said, "I’m second-order; if you have grievances, let’s duel one-on-one!"

Xiaobai gasped for air, almost suffocating.

"Damn it, I’m only second-order too," grumbled the man with the nose ring, "Comparing yourself with others will only make you envious. Am I doomed to live like a dog all my life?"

The newbies also understood the sudden argument’s reason, seeing everyone coming out belonged to Yue Jing’s group, not a single member from the Warhammer team, shocked by their strength. Then, the Warhammer team’s newbies again felt honored by association, while other newbies envied them.

Most people preferred to stay in a strong team as it ensured their survival.

"Alright, everyone shut up. Let’s discuss the main topic," Tang Zheng knew everyone’s minds, each having emerged from bloody slaughters, how could they not have tempers? They all wanted to dominate the other to gain the upper hand in the future. Official source is novel✦fire.net

"Let’s do as he said, three members from each side," Dantai reiterated.

"No way," the Real Madrid fan flatly refused.

"Why not?" Dong Zixuan, puzzled, "At least give a reason."

"Just no, it’s too wasteful," the Real Madrid fan would certainly not tell the policewoman that their side was worried about them. Given the already unbalanced power, if three more left, the other team could entirely annihilate them if they harbored other intentions.

"What’s so wasteful? In such a perilous environment, at least three people should be grouped together for safety," the policewoman argued. She often quarreled with directors at the Municipal Bureau during her job, let alone with the likes of a Real Madrid fan.

"No, we should send members who can protect themselves. Fewer people are less likely to be detected," the Real Madrid fan finally found an excuse in his urgency.

"Enough," Tang Zheng interrupted him, looking at Yue Jing, "We should be honest and work together with three people each for reconnaissance. You don’t care about your members’ lives, but I do."

Yue Jing’s side fell silent. Sweat started to bead on his forehead. This was a push for power, and he knew that once he refused, there would be nothing to discuss next.

"This guy really is a good person," Fu Tianxiao thought of Tang Zheng’s previous action of covering the retreat to save newbies, further affirming his impression of Tang Zheng being a goody-two-shoes, probably with a moral fetish.

"I agree," Yue Jing sighed heavily, compromising.

"I’ll go then, Bai Guo, Iron-hearted, get ready to accompany me," Dantai immediately appointed upon seeing the matter settled.

"We’re ready to leave at any time!" Natural Stupid and Ai Renqi nodded without hesitation.

"No, stay, I’ll go," Qin Yan persuaded. Although everyone was Chinese, they were in the Trojan World governed by the survival of the fittest. One might not harbor malice, but one must be wary. The older sister felt staying behind was not particularly useful; with Dantai’s IQ, she could provide significant aid to Tang Zheng.

"There’s no need to worry, you all rest up," Dantai refused, seeing Yue Jing’s performance; Tang Zheng toppling their car was more than sufficient.

Special agents also didn’t randomly pick team members—the dual identity of Bai Guo’s moon shadow was suitable for assassination and reconnaissance, only being less effective due to personal stupidity. Dantai was determined to train her thoroughly to at least enhance her experience to handle emergencies in the future.

Choosing a wife role, of course, was because her defense was high, which could hold off the enemy, allowing him to focus on attacking fiercely, and if he faced a team annihilation, she could also hold on until he got back to the tunnel.

The Warhammer team took less than a minute to pick three scouts, but Yue Jing’s team was still silent, with no movement at all.

"Hurry up and choose, don’t waste time!" Dong Zixuan urged, as a policewoman, she liked to act quickly.

Fu Tianxiao was more relaxed, being a team battle weapon, she didn’t have to do these dirty and tiring risky jobs, but no one else spoke up.

Some newbies near the command center door, concerned about their own fates, stretched their necks to look inside, saw a deal being struck, and immediately brightened up, but the next second, another scene played out, making them feel depressed again and whisper to the person next to them.

"These people seem very scared of death, always making excuses when tasked with a mission."

"It’s still our team that’s strong, this kind of leader, makes one feel reassured."

"Exactly, that guy named Yue Jing, he really has no authority, can’t even control his group members. If it were me, I’d just appoint directly."

The newbies discussed in low voices, but they clearly underestimated a conqueror’s hearing, capturing every word.

"Nose Ring, your defense is high, you go," Yue Jing, his face dark, bellowed out, as a Hero Tier 3 being disrespected almost made him explode with anger.

"Leader, I can’t," Nose Ring wanted to preserve his strength, "Choose Xiaobai instead, he’s fast and can run back if there’s trouble."

"Shut up, you’re going," Yue Jing’s forehead was already throbbing with veins, if Nose Ring resisted again, he wouldn’t mind teaching the guy a lesson.

"Yue Jing, don’t rush, don’t get angry, we still have time." Dantai was too treacherous, portraying Yue Jing as reckless and incompetent with just one sentence.

The newbies believed it; their trust in him dropped—it couldn’t be helped, Yue Jing’s angry look was just too striking.

"God damn, being led by the nose, if only that guy hadn’t died," Yue Jing thought of his vice leader, an intelligence officer, but soon his expression turned to clenching his teeth in anger; that guy had dared to toy with his sister’s feelings, absolutely intolerable, he couldn’t calm down until he avenged this.

"Tang Zheng, our team has too few people, can we make do by picking two survivors who have activated their abilities?" Fu Tianxiao’s intention was to show weakness, say some nice words, get through this phase, but she forgot the occasion.

Hearing this, the newbies’ sense of belonging dropped further, they had even decided to follow Tang Zheng for survival.

"That’s possible, but he needs to go, plus choose five more newbies!" Tang Zheng pointed at the Real Madrid soccer fan, "Hero level, his strength is decent. Also, Real Madrid won over Barcelona last round in the league, congratulations."

"Do you also like watching soccer?" Hearing the powerful Tang Zheng choosing him, the Real Madrid soccer fan was bittersweet, feeling honored yet recognizing that closeness as they shared a common interest, however, he didn’t want to go out scouting and waste his energy.

"Yes, I quite admire Mourinho’s coaching abilities!" Tang Zheng commented and started issuing orders, "Dantai will lead the team, absolutely no problem, you can trust him."

"I understand," the Real Madrid soccer fan wasn’t stupid; bringing newbies meant what? Just Bait and Cannon Fodder, "Don’t worry, I’ll do well."

Nose Ring stared at Tang Zheng, feeling underappreciated and utterly dejected.

"What are you staring at?" Lu Fan was displeased, "Want a one-on-one challenge?"

"Staring at you, what about it?"

Nose Ring had barely spoken when the Conquerors behind Tang Zheng shifted their gaze, prepared for battle.

"Heh, I’m just joking!" Nose Ring chickened out, with so many intense stares pinning him down, it felt like being targeted by a pack of lions, utterly terrifying, his entire back was drenched in cold sweat.

"Hmph, boring!" Lu Fan pouted and walked out of the command center, "I’m off to play hide and seek."

Dantai and Lu Fan exchanged sly smiles, Queen Mu subtly shook her head, Tang Zheng was too ’cunning,’ set on creating rifts in Yue Jing’s team, but it was expected; once a team battle broke out, Yue Jing’s current lineup absolutely wouldn’t win.

"So stupid, such an opponent, not interesting," Wei Binbai and Yu Deye crossed their arms and watched coldly, after exchanging glances, not only did they disdain Yue Jing, but they also began seeing Tang Zheng in a new light.

"No wonder he made it so far with the Warhammer team; Tang Zheng is indeed different. But, the setup of this team is quite odd!" Watching Little Lolita’s figure, Yu Deye found it amusing. He had heard from Mu Nianqi that there even used to be a pregnant woman in this team who lasted several rounds. If it weren’t for her husband’s accident before childbirth, Warhammer’s team would definitely have a baby by now.

"Letting her run around alone, isn’t it too dangerous?" Fu Tianxiao hoped to ease the standoff.

"No worries, she’s used to it, can take care of herself," Tang Zheng checked the time, "Go pick the newbies then!" (To be continued. If you work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
