Chapter 885: Chapter 885

Lu Fan hissed her teeth like a wild cat. If a stranger dared to call himself her uncle, Little Lolita would have broken all his teeth, but considering that Wang Bo was a soldier, and that he had shown her some concern during their escape, she accepted the nickname.

"Uncle Wang, you’re a newbie, so you have to listen to the commands of a Conqueror like me," Lu Fan said with a beaming smile as she handed over a can of Red Bull, hoping to take command of the team, but that was obviously not going to happen.

"You clever little ghost, don’t worry, your uncles won’t let you get hurt." Wang Bo tried to pat Lu Fan’s head but she dodged it.

"Yuck, it’ll make me dumb." Little Lolita pretended to act cute, but inside she scoffed, as, apart from Tang Zheng, no man could touch her.

"Let’s set off." Li Xinlan’s face was stern, feeling some pressure. Their team, apart from Zuo Yi’s class, Shen Qingshuang, and two university students, only had Lu Fan and the unwanted junk, Red Sister.

Little Lolita wanted to team up with Tang Zheng but didn’t get the chance. She also lost the opportunity to team up with other Conquerors. Had it not been for the young widow waiting for her, she would be on her own. However, Lu Fan wasn’t worried. As long as she didn’t run into any Captain-level figures and stayed careful, she was confident of escaping with Li Xinlan.

"The pressing matter is to find the Bug Queen; judging from the term, I guess it’s the boss of the insect nest. So when yesterday’s swarm of bugs returns to their nest, we just need to follow them," Lu Fan, carrying a Thunderstorm rifle, went downstairs and discussed the outcome with everyone.

"How many bugs are we to deal with?" Soldier Li Guaizi was astonished, his heart turning cold. He had seen the swarm of bugs the day before, "they blanketed the sky, easily numbering over ten thousand."

"Can you find the Bug Queen?" Lu Fan asked back.

Li Guaizi scratched his scalp, his face flushed with urgency, unable to come up with a solution.

"Since Lu Fan said so, she must be confident. Let’s head west, towards the direction from which the bugs came, and keep an eye out for other insect nests along the way," Shen Qingshuang noticed Little Lolita’s calm demeanor when she spoke and gave a glance to the beautiful Mrs. Li. Seeing no change in her expression, he understood that they had everything already figured out.

"Good insight." Lu Fan gave Shen Qingshuang a thumbs-up, took out her Giant Spider Mount, sat on it, and proceeded forth proudly.

Even with the moonlight, visibility on the highway was low. Lu Fan brought out a few sports cars for everyone to ride towards the insect nest.

The members from the four small teams had been scattered. On the Trojan List, communication devices were damned expensive. Even for Conquerors, they were too costly to afford, so they had to resort to primal contacting methods.

Shen Qingshuang fell silent again, pondering how to quickly locate the insect nest. He didn’t have experience with the Trojan Horse Game and had to figure everything out from scratch.

But Dantai’s team easily found a solution.

"Drive the car towards the direction from which the bugs came, scattering fresh blood and scented meat along the way. I bet some bugs will take the bait," Dantai took over command of his squad quite naturally after leaving Tang Zheng, displaying his strength. He organized everything efficiently, allowing everyone to utilize their abilities to the fullest.

"As expected of a Special Agent, impressive," Lin Weiguo praised, then sighed. Such a strong figure like Dantai, in front of Tang Zheng, never got a chance to show off, utterly becoming part of the Soy Sauce Party.

"You could suggest to Tang Zheng not to figure out everything by himself. Handing a part over to me wouldn’t be a problem," Dantai joked. But in reality, having two people to think and cover each other’s oversights was the perfect arrangement, not to mention they also had a monster-like figure like Lu Fan. However, that Little Lolita was great at slacking off, pushing everything onto Tang Zheng.

Lena and Landeck also thought of the same tactics. Those who survived weren’t fools.

Tang Zheng secured the Bug Eggs and ran back to the rest area as fast as he could. The Company Commander wasn’t there, but he didn’t care because, in less than a minute, the Company Commander arrived with three people from a dark corner.

"We..." The Company Commander, afraid Tang Zheng would complain, started to explain. The building had trembled from the recent fight because they didn’t know what was happening. He naturally had to take Cheng Cheng and the others to hide and watch the room from the shadows, waiting. If it was Tang Zheng, they would come out. If not, they would fight or flee.

"No need to explain, I understand," Tang Zheng waved his hand, stopping the Company Commander. He would have done the same.

"Okay." The Company Commander nodded and sighed a sigh of relief. Speaking with a smart person saved so much effort. He wanted to ask what had just happened, but Chen Hong was quicker to ask.

"Tang Zheng, are you alright?"

Instead of rushing to ask about the egg, Chen Hong was concerned about the Group Leader’s safety, making Tang Zheng feel considerably better. He was glad she wasn’t a woman who only knew how to use him.

"I’m okay," Tang Zheng gave Chen Hong a rare smile. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel_fіre.net

The once-famous actress was pleasantly surprised, then felt something was off. Why did she feel relieved seeing him smile?

"Could I be falling for him?" Chen Hong was a bit stunned, suddenly forgetting to ask about the Bug Egg.

Cheng Cheng said nothing, just clinging to Tang Zheng’s leg, blinking her big eyes worriedly at his body. Once she was sure there were no wounds, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, caring for Tang Zheng in her own way.

"Regarding the announcement just now?" The Company Commander gave Tang Zheng the initiative, trusting his judgment. He believed he would help everyone.

"I just killed a Bug Queen in the underground parking garage and got over a hundred and fifty Bug Eggs. Killing another one will be enough," Tang Zheng’s tone was very calm, as if it was a trivial matter.

"According to the nature of the Trojan Horse Game, this mission is definitely not easy." The Company Commander knew the mission was difficult, but had not expected it to be to the extent that survivors would fight tooth and nail over it.

Chen Hong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling assured that her life was finally secure. Then she began planning how to ensure Tang Zheng did not take risks to save two newbies. It was pointless.

"Let’s hit the road now and figure it out along the way." If possible, Tang Zheng wanted to hunt for more Bug Eggs, better safe than sorry, and even use them to cunningly kill the Germans from behind.

This night was destined to be restless.

"If we wait until morning, wouldn’t that be a waste of time? What if the bugs don’t return to their nest?" Sitting in the car, Shen Qingshuang cleaned her firearms and watched the surroundings. Instead of disturbing Lu Fan with these questions, she pondered the answers herself. When faced with difficulties, she always preferred to rely on herself to solve them.

"We could use the bait tactic." Shen Qingshuang muttered under her breath, ready to call the fleet to a halt to share her idea when Lu Fan’s shout rang out.

"Stop the cars. The previous method won’t work, it’s too time-consuming." Lu Fan had clearly thought of the downside and found a solution. After briefly explaining it, he asked, "We need a bait, who will it be?"

"Such a clever little Lolita." Shen Qingshuang admired, no wonder she could survive; just her intelligence alone was impressive.

"I’ll do it. I can’t let a woman take the risk," Wang Bo volunteered, and as a squad leader, Zuo Yi naturally took the lead.

Li Guaizi hesitated, not everyone was unafraid of death, but no one blamed him.

"Fanfan isn’t afraid of dying, she’s a crucial fighter, meant to deliver the final blow to the enemy," explained Lu Fan while also subtly provoking the soldiers, wanting them to be more fearless and not back down.

Zuo Yi and the others nodded in agreement. The little Lolita could run for a long time without getting out of breath, at least stronger than them in terms of stamina.

"Count me in for the bait, no fighting over it!" Shen Qingshuang didn’t want to be a gangster. To earn respect, one had to prove their strength and fight. Otherwise, they would surely be abandoned by the Conquerors. What’s more, what she wanted most was to learn how to obtain superpowers, but she didn’t ask about it. Without a trump card or status, why would anyone disclose that to you?

"Impressive." Lu Fan indeed thought highly of Shen Qingshuang.

"Newbies need to have this kind of do-or-die courage to survive," Li Xinlan commented indifferently as she glanced over them. "Good luck to you. If you succeed, I will suggest to Tang Zheng that he gives you a Seed."

Clearly defined rewards and punishments were the most basic team principle. Li Xinlan, of course, wouldn’t let people fight just on passion; she had to offer them irresistible benefits. Only then would they harness one hundred percent of their passion and strength.

Upon hearing the words of the young widow, all the newbies in the squad were invigorated; who didn’t want to become a superhuman?

Li Xinlan was gentle and empathetic, but when it came to newbies, she would also have them engage in combat and fight to the death. Of course, for those with potential, she would lend a hand. She wanted to build a perfect team for Tang Zheng and did not mind weeding out the burdensome newbies.

The young widow wished for Tang Zheng to return to reality alive.

As Lu Fan and the others discussed, little did they know that a pair of eyes was lurking in the darkness, already fixated on them.

Dantai and his group were lucky to quickly catch a beetle. After beating it half to death, they let it go and followed it to an insect nest, which was already filled with the sound of fierce gunshots, signaling that others had beaten them to it.

"Attack, kill them all." Dantai wouldn’t back down, ready to go on a rampage.

In one insect nest, Lena, the man in the suit, and three others were in the middle of exterminating a swarm of insects, pushing towards the position of the Queen Bug when they were attacked and encountered Landeck, who had brought several flight attendants with him.

"What do you mean by this?" Lena questioned Landeck while calculating the risks and benefits of killing him.

"Don’t get me wrong, I just want to team up temporarily. If we’re scattered, the Chinese team will definitely pick us off one by one," Landeck said confidently with a smile. "Such a large insect nest, I think there should be enough Bug Eggs for three people to share."

The flight attendants were shocked at their Group Leader’s words, but they dared not complain.

"Agreed," said Lena decisively, knowing that rejecting would lead to a fight. Landeck possessed strength akin to Fleischer, apparently a Fourth-order Burst Seed hero who had activated Hero Mode. He was not someone they could contend with.

"A wise decision," Landeck praised, then eyed Lena’s body and licked his lips, "How about dinner after the fight is over?"

"Sorry," Lena declined.

Tang Zheng had not found an insect nest; instead, he stumbled upon a group of Natives in the midst of a firefight, battling fiercely in the moments before dawn.
