Chapter 890: Chapter 890
"Can you tell me your abilities? Otherwise, I can’t come up with tactics," Shen Qingshuang could tell the young woman had an easier time communicating with Lu Fan and only then dared to speak up. Otherwise, it would have been nothing but trouble.
"I have the ability to control sand, and Aunt Xin Lan has Ice Age; it’s very powerful," Lu Fan stroked his chin and shook his head, "Let’s just go in for the kill. Planting bombs is good, but we need bait. Who’s going to do it? There’s a chance someone will die!"
Lu Fan’s manipulative nature flared up again. She also wanted to keep her trump card, but she couldn’t force the newbie to sacrifice himself, so she resorted to this strategy.
"I will," said Zuo Yi, still very single-minded.
"I suggested it, so of course, I’ll go," Shen Qingshuang took a deep breath. He wasn’t joking. The graver the situation, the more responsible he became.
"Kid, I’m impressed with you!" Wang Bo cracked a smile, "How can I miss out on something ?"
"Then it’s settled. Let’s all go and set up the bomb traps. Squad Leader Zuo and Brother Shen, be careful not to drive over a landmine," Lu Fan wasn’t a hesitant girl. Without Tang Zheng, her cleverness, cunning, and sense of independence came back into play. Newest update provided by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Although I’ve never studied demolitions, I can still plant bombs," Zuo Yi, after all, was a squad leader and definitely had such skills.
"Tch, rest assured, Fanfan is known as the little bomb witch. Throwing hand grenades and setting bombs are my specialties, definitely more familiar to me than to any of you," Lu Fan bragged, quickly becoming one with Zuo Yi; in truth, she was trying to reassure them, "I’ll use a remote control bomb to trigger the detonation, so you’re safe."
Lu Fan was very proud. She looked down on those in her team like Li Guaizi and the university students, those weaklings, and even Red; she wasn’t impressed by any of them.
In twenty minutes, three passages had been filled with bombs, enough to kill ten thousand of those bug creatures.
"All right, let’s start, and be careful," Li Xinlan handed an M60 machine gun and an ammunition box capable of a thousand rounds to Zuo Yi, "It’s all on you now."
"Nice gun!" The moment he held it, Zuo Yi knew it was a quality weapon. With it in his hands, he felt he could take on a whole company.
Wang Bo parked the convertible in front of the building, and Shen Qingshuang, carrying the M60, charged in following Zuo Yi. Moments later, the sound of gunshots erupted.
"Don’t show off. You retreat first, and remember to cover alternately," said Zuo Yi, after all, was a professional. He threw a cluster hand grenade, startled the bugs, and started to retreat.
"Got it." Shen Qingshuang modestly agreed. Although he had decent quality, he lacked experience. Watching the overwhelming swarm of insects, he too got nervous, but having Zuo Yi as a partner, he learned a lot.
Zuo Yi was wearing Unicorn Protective Clothing, which made him much faster than Shen Qingshuang, but he stayed to hinder the enemy and didn’t abandon the latter.
Shen Qingshuang didn’t say thank you, but he took the favor to heart and would repay it.
"Run for it!" Seeing the two men rush out of the building, a green mass of bug creatures following close behind, Wang Bo shouted and opened fire with the machine gun as the car revved up.
"Qingshuang, you drive!" Zuo Yi leaped onto the sports car and started firing at the insect swarm as he turned around. The golden casings were ejected, clinking as they hit the ground.
Insects continuously fell from the sky.
Shen Qingshuang didn’t drop the ball, driving with the most focused mindset he had; the tires screeched across the ground, spinning for a few moments before shooting forward like an arrow.
The creatures kept pouring out of the building, darkening the sky. There were easily seven or eight thousand of them, and shortly after, they were lured into the alleys.
"We can’t wait any longer; detonate." Li Xinlan, who was observing the battle through a telescope, urged, "Any longer, and the car will be caught."
Lu Fan nodded and pressed the detonator, timing it perfectly.
A thundering boom sounded as the car passed by the explosive by ten meters, a flame erupted, engulfing the insects, their corpses crackling and burning, falling through the smoke.
The blast wave hit the car, almost flipping Wang Bo over, but Zuo Yi was quick and caught him.
Explosions kept occurring in the alleys, killing bugs. Buildings on both sides collapsed, starting to block the passage. Lu Fan’s detonations went from back to front, cutting off the bugs’ way out first.
Having expended the bullet chain, Wang Bo tossed away the machine gun, picked up the M60, and continued firing. Zuo Yi was also attacking, with the fastest of the bugs already on the car’s tail.
Five minutes later, the sports car stopped, with dust-filled alleys and countless insect corpses behind it.
"Good job," Lu Fan said, looking at the three panting men and handed them several bottles of water. "If you’re not too tired, how about another round?"
"Definitely no problem," Wang Bo nodded.
"This Human Train Tactics reminds me of the first time Tang Zheng killed zombies," Li Xinlan sighed repeatedly. It was really tough back then, but Tang Zheng was always full of confidence.
"I’m so jealous of you guys, being in the same period as Uncle," Lu Fan pouted with regret.
After three rounds of Human Train Tactics, killing fifteen thousand bugs, no more insects emerged. Lu Fan and Li Xinlan began to advance. Both had abilities that could cause damage over an area, easily killing the bugs and finding the Bug Queen.
Li Xinlan’s team was really lucky to find a prime Bug Queen with over five hundred undeveloped Bug Eggs in her belly. But with fourteen of them, they were still over a hundred eggs short.
The university students were getting restless, fearing being abandoned and worried they might not draw the monsters diligently enough.
"Have you ever thought about putting in some effort yourselves?" With food in hand, one doesn’t panic. Lu Fan was not in a hurry either and turned the responsibility over to Zuo Yi.
"We’ll try our best," the university students said nonchalantly. Attracting bugs? They would probably die at the first encounter.
North Wind propped up his undamaged, enhanced version of the Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle. Peering through the telescope, he locked on to Zuo Yi. The guy was wearing Unicorn Protective Clothing and had the qualities of a special forces soldier; naturally, he was the first to be killed.
Because she had died once, Li Xinlan was wearing B-Class Protective Clothing, which was quite deceptive. Everyone thought her strength wasn’t strong; no one knew she also had S-grade Present Age Footwear added.
The young woman was beautiful, and that was also why North Wind didn’t kill her. He wanted to keep her to toy with later. Little Lolita and Red Sister? Such trash wasn’t even on his radar.
Suddenly, Zuo Yi felt uneasy, as if a poisonous snake was watching him. The next moment, he heard gunshots. At this critical moment, he twisted his body a bit.
Bang, a large-caliber bullet hit his shoulder, knocking his body backward slightly.
"Enemy attack!" Lu Fan and Li Xinlan reacted the fastest, immediately ducking behind the sports car, sticking the muzzles out and firing suppressive shots in the direction of the gunfire.
"Squad leader?" Li Guaizi shouted.
"I won’t die," Zuo Yi said with a lingering fear. If it wasn’t for that sudden move, if it wasn’t for the Unicorn Protective Clothing, his life would have definitely been forfeit.
"Tch," North Wind had never considered retreating. In his view, this was just a bunch of trash, which he could take down with a strong attack. With two shots, he killed a university student who had carelessly stuck his butt out from behind the car.
It was a B+ level weapon, easily piercing through the Primary Protective Clothing.
Bang, another shot rang out, and an armor-piercing bullet shattered the sports car, taking out another wounded soldier on the opposite side.
Zuo Yi, red with urgency, stood up and began to fire his machine gun wildly.
"Get down, are you insane?" Li Xinlan pulled Zuo Yi down in front of her, building up a shield of ice, stopping the bullets from penetrating.
"Damn it, they dare target Fanfan!" Inferring from the enemy bullets that he wasn’t a strong opponent, Lu Fan was worried that throwing out the Iron Tyrant might scare him away. Instead, he mounted the Giant Spider, spraying bullets with the Pepper Grinder.
North Wind couldn’t raise his head under the barrage, but he understood he couldn’t take down the insect nest alone. He had to kill them and snatch it, so he couldn’t withdraw.
Li Xinlan summoned her War Horse, leapt onto it with a flip, and gave support to Lu Fan.
"Come on, don’t get shown up by a woman," Zuo Yi called out to his subordinates, jumping out to suppress North Wind.
North Wind released his ability, countless Air Razors hitting Lu Fan, but then he was dumbfounded; not a hair on her was harmed. Moreover, after tearing off the outer sportswear, he saw that Little Lolita was wearing Firefly.
"Holy shit, and I’m only wearing A+ grade Unicorn!" North Wind was so frustrated he was close to tears, suddenly wanting to run, but he got no chance. He saw Little Lolita throw a Flying Sword that created thousands of sword shadows, crashing down upon him.
"Another S-grade item?" North Wind blasted a gust from his feet, trying to speed away, but still got grazed by the blade, immediately drawing blood. (To be continued.
