Chapter 898: Chapter 898
Tares trailed a hundred meters behind Chen Hong, toying with her like a plaything, as the thunderballs shot from his heavy magnetostorm rifle streaked by her like a meteor shower, unceasingly grazing past her.
Chen Hong flew through the sky, suppressed, forced to lower her altitude and speed, and the half-blown off calf gushed with blood, an utterly pitiful sight.
"You think you can get away?" Tares looked at Chen Hong as she still struggled to inject the nanobot injection, nearly laughing himself to death, "What a waste of effort."
"I must inform the others, Tang Zheng is in danger!" Chen Hong’s lips quivered, her face streaked with tears, and when she heard that tremendous explosion, she abruptly turned her head, her shock beyond measure. The German was very strong, and it obviously made no sense for him to use such a powerful weapon to kill Cheng Cheng, which left only one answer, Little Lolita had self-destructed.
"Chen Hong, you are such a cowardly waste, even a little girl is better than you!" That burning flame deeply pierced Chen Hong’s heart, her mouth filled with bitterness, practically tearing her nerves apart.
"Struggling futilely!" Tares’s ability barely allowed him to fly, but he couldn’t catch up to Chen Hong. However, he could attach tracking pollen to the thunderballs and shoot her down.
Zi, boom, a thunderball struck Chen Hong’s other leg, blowing apart the entire calf into drifting minced flesh. This time, the washed-up star bit her teeth, refusing to let out a cry of agony.
"I won’t make you happy!" Chen Hong felt ruthless, absolutely refusing to let the German experience the pleasure of torturing her. But then, looking at the deserted city being eroded by plants, a tremendous sense of powerlessness rose in her heart, and she howled in reluctance, "Am I seeking rescue over there?"
"So just go ahead and die." Having shattered Chen Hong’s legs, the pitiful sight had made Tares lose interest in the woman. He fired another tracking thunderball, aiming for Chen Hong’s wings this time.
Thanks to the nanoinjection liquid, Chen Hong’s leg wounds rapidly clotted and stopped bleeding, which otherwise would have killed her. But the next moment, her wings were struck, and the white feathers fell like snow.
The washed-up star’s body wobbled, spun a few turns on her way down, then shakily rose to fly again.
"Where is it? Where?" Chen Hong was soaked in sweat, torn by pain and endless anxiety.
The city covered in green plants was no more than a city of the dead; Chen Hong had nowhere to go. At that moment, she thought not of escape, but of seeking reinforcements.
"I must be crazy!" Chen Hong gave a bitter laugh. Since when had she become a good person? "From when did my life become worthless, filled with darkness, living like a zombie?"
"Haha, feeling desperate now?" Tares saw Chen Hong’s dispirited look and roared with laughter. He had seen too many weak-minded wretches like her, reduced to this state when cornered. "Be good and stay, and I’ll leave you a whole corpse."
While verbally provoking Chen Hong, Tares shot another thunderball, striking her arm. A sudden, whimsical thought struck him, to shoot this woman into a human stick!
"Maybe it’s better to just die!" Chen Hong wept, overwhelmed by the great pain. But the next moment, Cheng Cheng’s sweet smiling face floated before her eyes.
"I’ll intercept them, to buy time!"
The childish voice, filled with determined courage, shamed Chen Hong. Suddenly, she fluttered her wings and shot out like an electric discharge. This time, she did not dodge the thunderballs.
Zi, zi, Chen Hong grazed the bullets, with several scraping her body, directly carving away chunks of flesh.
"Is everyone in this squad insane?" Tares had to wait five seconds for his tracking pollen to generate a new seed, so there were intervals in his attack. He used a barrage to slow Chen Hong, but the sight of the former star’s desperation took him by surprise. Then he recalled the magnificent explosion, "The man in the suit couldn’t really have been blown up by that little girl, could he?"
"No, I can’t delay any longer." As Tares flew over a building, ready to unleash full firepower, he saw a billowing cloud of sand dust, "Damn, it might be the Chinese squad!"
Chen Hong, feeling dizzy from the blood loss, thought she was not going to last much longer, believing she was about to fail Cheng Cheng’s trust. Suddenly, she heard the sound of engines and saw the dust raised by the approaching fleet, like a lighthouse on the sea in the pitch-black night, giving her a surge of spirit. She pushed herself and flew towards it at full speed.
"You can’t escape." Regardless of who that fleet was, he had to end this cat-and-mouse chase. This time, Tares aimed seriously, his kaleidoscopic plant eyes wide open, locking onto Chen Hong.
Zi, zi, zi, three thunderballs fired, directly striking Chen Hong’s Feathered Wings, blasting them to pieces and charring them black. The once pure white feathers turned to soot, fluttering down from the sky!
Chen Hong plummeted straight down, crashing towards the ground.
"Did I just hear gunshots?" Qin Yan furrowed her brow, clutching the heavy gravity gun as she poked her head out from the top of the armored Humvee, scanning the distance.
Upon hearing her words, everyone became vigilant, extending their rifles out the car window, ready for a fight.
"Weiguo, turn left!" Dantai was a psychic, his senses even sharper than Qin Yan’s. However, the buildings, though dilapidated, still obscured his view, prevent him from seeing what was happening.
Lin Weiguo yanked the steering wheel, and the racing armored Humvee suddenly drifted. Tires screeched against the ground, emitting a piercing noise, then after leaving four black marks, it slid into the left-side street.
What Dantai’s squad saw was Chen Hong being shot down. Half of her waist was shattered into red minced meat that scattered in the air.
"It’s Chen Hong!" Bai Guo roared, half his body leaning out of the car window, clutching the heavy gravity gun and suppressing Tares with fire.
Machine gun fire also erupted, as Ai Yixin spotted Chen Hong and operated the vehicle-mounted machine guns, raining a hail of bullets toward Tares in the sky. Sha Ou was quick to react as well, leaning out of the car window to shoot at Tares. Newest update provided by novel✦fire.net
Dozens of black gravity balls howled out, a suppressing barrage!
As she plummeted, Chen Hong saw Dantai’s squad, saw Qin Yan and Bai Guo fighting hard, shooting with all their might. She mustered her last bit of strength and roared.
"Tang Zheng is dying, go save him!"
After the has-been female star screamed, she crashed onto the asphalt highway with a thud, rolling out and leaving behind a marbled trail of blood. The viscera that spilled from her waist injury, mixed with broken flesh, scattered everywhere, and the wounds on her severed legs cracked open once more.
Boom, boom, upon hearing Chen Hong’s roar, shock appeared on the faces of Dantai Zongqi, Qin Yan, Bai Guo, Lin Weiguo, and Ai Yixin, followed by anger and worry. In an instant, they entered a berserk state, their bodies enshrouded in a mist of blood.
Squeak, squeak, the armed Humvees stopped, the Conquerors jumped off, and shot towards Tares in the sky with a barrage of fire.
Tares almost went insane from shock, catching sight of five berserkers oozing with murderous intent. He had no interest in killing Chen Hong anymore, only thoughts of escape.
"Leave him behind!" Dantai roared furiously, as a wild psychic storm swept out, radiating across the entire sky like a tsunami.
Tares was hit, his head felt like it had been run over by a heavy tank, and he nearly lost consciousness. Just as he was barely keeping his body upright and retreating, a cannon beam struck. It obliterated his light defense shield, then blasted the plant propeller behind him, causing him to plummet.
"Ai Yixin go save Chen Hong, find out what’s going on, Weiguo, Qin Yan, Bai Guo, kill him!" Dantai roared as he quickly arranged the tactics.
Tares’s plant back rapidly grew and spread, trying to solidify into a spiral to regain balance. At the same time, countless vines surged out from his belly, cocooning him as if in a cocoon, forming a defense.
Szz, szz, cannon beams mixed with black gravity balls covered the entire sky, the Conquerors mercilessly used up their ammunition, relentlessly blasting Tares’s plants.
"Third-order!" Tares burst into his third-order explosive type just in time. However, even so, he still swayed unsteadily, unable to stop his inevitable fall.
Dantai Zongqi went mad, his mental impacts surged like a tsunami, wave after wave assaulting Tares, even rippling through the air.
Boom, the Old Soldier’s cannon beam struck Tares’s right leg, and after a relentless assault, the German could no longer control his body, and he fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Qin Yan rushed forth, the Tang Sword unsheathed, and slashed towards Tares’s neck.
The German dodged, then screamed as an arm was severed. His brain was rattled by the mental impacts, dizziness assailing him non-stop. Just as he evaded the Old Soldier’s attack, Bai Guo appeared behind him. The Dragon’s Sharp Edge stabbed into his back and then slid to the left, opening a gash.
"To hell with you!" Tares roared furiously, his vines writhing wildly, intending to strangle Bai Guo. Dantai arrived in time, grabbed the naturally stupid girl’s arm, and pulled her behind him.
"Calm down." Dantai’s advice was useless. Bai Guo gasped for breath and went invisible again, pouncing on Tares and then she sliced off his ear.
Hearing that Tang Zheng was in danger, Qin Yan and her companions went into a complete frenzy, disregarding their own injuries to take down Tares as quickly as possible before going to assist Tang Zheng.
Dantai was the weapon of team battle, coupled with two meat shields, Qin Yan, and Lin Weiguo, a stealthy Bai Guo, and Sha Ou’s telekinesis; even a third-order explosive type like Tares didn’t last thirty seconds before tragically being torn into minced meat.
If Tares didn’t think of escaping and fought with all his might, maybe he could have lasted a minute.
"Stop stabbing, he’s already dead, Old Soldier, clean up the battlefield." Dantai ran back, shaking off the fresh blood from his blade, the Chrysanthemum Text Zong.
"Dantai, something’s wrong, Tang Zheng is being besieged." Ai Yixin pulled out a thousand-point first aid kit and was about to slap it onto Chen Hong to treat her. If it wasn’t for the has-been female star’s report, the housewife wouldn’t be willing to waste such precious medicine to save her.
"No, no need, go, go save Tang Zheng!" Chen Hong coughed up blood with every breath, her entire chest dyed red. Having lost her legs, her kidneys, such injuries, even with a first aid kit, only delayed the inevitable death.
"Let’s go!" Dantai made a decisive call, gesturing everyone to get in the car.
"Thank you!" Qin Yan glanced at the mutilated Chen Hong and jumped onto the armed Humvee.
"Thank you!" Bai Guo expressed her gratitude sincerely, tossing her a first aid kit. She was truly thankful for the news Chen Hong had brought.
"Thank you!" Lin Weiguo expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you!" Ai Yixin also extended her thanks.
"Heh, cough!" Lying on the cold ground, watching the armed Humvees drive away, listening to those heartfelt thanks, suddenly Chen Hong felt no regrets.
"That’s right, originally my dream was to become an idol that could bring hope and joy to people!" Chen Hong’s gaze turned to the azure sky, watching the falling white feathers. A bitter smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful lips. Once upon a time, she had such a beautiful dream, but the hardships of life in the big city made her forget and choose a shortcut she knew would never bring happiness. "If only I could start over, that would be great!"
The eighth round entered, the twelfth round, has-been female star Chen Hong died!
