Chapter 1720: Chapter 36: No One Dares to Provoke

On a sunny afternoon, Trojan issued an assassination notice.

“Please note, each team can send a team member as an assassin to enter the game, to snipe or support their team members.”

In the lobby, the main forces of each team, who had been waiting for this moment, all stood up and entered the game without delay, to meet up with their companions.

The first group aimed to intercept the second group, while those at the back aimed to kill, trying to shorten the time, so the cruise ship Tang Zheng was on ended up with over three hundred survivors.

The wristwatch indicated the teleport location was the engine room. Tang Zheng carried all his weapons over, only to find Qin Yan already waiting there.

“Catch!” Tang Zheng tossed three revolvers and a samurai sword to Qin Yan, all equipment saved up while crossing the American continent.

“What now?” Despite the crisis, Qin Yan remained calm, “Your ranking is among the top five on this ship, and without a temporary team, they will definitely come looking for trouble!”

“Kill them when they come!” Tang Zheng’s tone was grim. Hiding forever wasn’t an option; it was better to take the initiative and intimidate them with bloody means so that no one would dare provoke them.

Boom, boom, explosions had already sounded on the ship, plunging into melee. However, to avoid damaging the cruise ship, the power was kept within a certain range.

“Found him, over here!” A white man charged out from the corner, let out a loud shout upon seeing Tang Zheng, and fired his revolver at the same time.

Qin Yan counterattacked, her precise shooting forcing the white man to retreat around the corner.

“Leave him, keep rushing!” Tang Zheng kicked into a frantic run, heading for the third floor’s warehouse area.

Tang Zheng wasn’t stupid; even though he was outnumbered, he needed to use some tactics; otherwise, he was bound for a dead end.

“You can’t run anymore!” the white man shouted, closely chasing. The three behind him were also full of excitement, thinking they’d take the lead and even started considering how to seize the credit, worth five days after all.

The white man rounded the corner, about to urge his companions to speed up, when he heard two loud booms. The airwaves mixed with flames filled the entire passage.

The three Europeans caught in the explosion didn’t die but were injured, their combat power weakened.

“Fuck, this guy is too treacherous. Do we still chase? There’s definitely more traps ahead.”

“Just let him go like that?”

“No wonder he’s ranked in the top twenty personally, he definitely has skills. Let’s give up; otherwise, we can only be making wedding clothes for others.”

Though unwilling, the four quickly reached a consensus to hunt down others, as killing two weaklings would also beat killing Tang Zheng.

The four retreated, but less than a hundred meters away, a massive explosion engulfed them again. Although they protected their skulls, they were still severely burned, especially their airways by the flames and heated air during the explosion.

“Want to kill me? You better see if you’re qualified!” Tang Zheng appeared and launched a fierce attack on the heavily injured guys.

He had anticipated that these four would retreat. But even if they didn’t, it didn’t matter. He had backup plans; if anyone dared to chase, he’d blow them up.

The four no longer dared to linger and ran for their lives.

Tang Zheng chased like a bear locked onto prey, relentless, and then the contestants in the melee saw an astonishing scene.

Two people instead chased four, driving them to flee chaotically.

“This can’t be right? I must be seeing things!”

“Tang Zheng is this strong? What exactly happened between them?”

“Don’t just stand there, grab the credit, those four definitely got caught in a trap.”

The contestants snapped out of it and rushed forward.

Tang Zheng killed the one who lagged behind, stopped his chase, watched the contestants pursue the other three, and decisively withdrew.

Qin Yan had no questions, fully obeying Tang Zheng’s commands.

“I’m worried there’s a trap,” Tang Zheng explained briefly. That was exactly the effect he wanted. Chasing down prey was too difficult, given the large number of people, and he dared not pursue too aggressively. If someone set up a bomb trap, he’d be utterly miserable.

Some contestants, failing to recognize the situation, chased Tang Zheng. However, after taking a blow from an explosion, most retreated.

The Conquerors who made it to the sixth round were all cautious powerhouses. At first, they might be tempted to kill Tang Zheng by his high bounty, but once they encountered resistance, they would immediately come to their senses.

“A high bounty also means strong strength. Rather than risk severe injury to kill him, better to go slaughter the small fry.” Dantai shook his head, these people wanted to get fat in one bite, not fearing they’d break a tooth.

Three hours later, the pace of the battle across the ship slowed down. After all, even the Conquerors weren’t made of iron and needed rest.

Tang Zheng and Qin Yan stood at the front deck, watching these people kill each other.

A few individuals involved in melees rushed out of the cabin, seeing the two of them and almost popping their eyes out of shock.

“You carry on, we won’t interfere.” Tang Zheng waved his hand, though saying so, the opposite party still paused their attack, wary of them, given how bizarre the situation was.

“Tang Zheng, help me kill them.” Miranda and her group, covered in blood, fled frantically pursued by several Africans, called for help upon seeing Tang Zheng.

Among the major regions, in terms of sheer physical fitness, Africans and South Americans had the advantage. There’s no competing with them, as they still had tribes reliant on hunting for survival, refining their hunting instincts, unmatched by people from modern society.

“Captain Tang, let’s not interfere with each other!” The African captain holding a spear spoke fluently in Chinese, reminding Tang Zheng.

Previously, the Africans had chased Tang Zheng, and were often bombed. Now they’ve learned to behave.

“Suit yourself!” Tang Zheng was not going to get involved in these matters. Miranda entering the Holy Land meant that coexistence was impossible.

A team of Europeans, not believing in evil, rushed towards Tang Zheng and Qin Yan.

The two didn’t linger in battle, getting up and charging towards the cabin.

“Look, more idiots are going after Tang Zheng again.”

“Hurry up, maybe we can pick up some benefits, six Europeans are enough for us to kill.”

The Europeans thought that the ‘benefits’ these guys were talking about were Tang Zheng and Qin Yan, but unexpectedly, it was themselves they were referring to, almost choking them with rage.

“Captain, something seems off!”

The allies’ expressions were uncertain, and without needing his prompting, everyone stopped in their tracks.

“Huh, not chasing anymore?” Tang Zheng revealed his upper body from around the corner and asked them in a provoking tone.

Seeing this, the lobby immediately erupted with curses.

“Shameless, absolutely shameless, aren’t you a captain?”

“Trojan, this is unfair, what he’s doing is breaking the rules.”

Those who couldn’t wait to kill Tang Zheng found themselves helpless, infuriated to the point of madness.

Tang Zheng’s tactics were too shameless. He installed many self-made remote control bombs in the warehouse area. If you chased him, you’d definitely fall into the trap, but if you didn’t, he’d counterattack. Because of this, no one dared to mess with him now.

Most of the Conquerors were very cautious. Some people, seeing others pass by Tang Zheng without attacking him, although unclear why, held back their original intent to kill him for safety’s sake,

This was a chain reaction, so two hours later, Tang Zheng instead became the most leisurely person on the entire ship.

“Please note, Tang Zheng’s actions are within the rules, and not cheating. If you continue to slander, you will be punished!” Trojan’s response essentially defined Tang Zheng’s tactics.

“Why do you have to fight yourself? Watching others fight to the death and get injured is much better, isn’t it?” Tang Zheng leaned against the ship’s railing, sipping red wine and chatting with Qin Yan.

At this moment, almost all the Conquerors wanted to peel his skin off. It was infuriating, but they had to admit, his strategy of conserving energy was very clever.

The Warhammer team had enough confidence to do this. After all, they had previously gained a lot of points in this match. Even if they stayed in the second group, their total score would still rank in the top twenty. Besides, with their level, they would soon catch up to the top five.

“Hey, I say, take it easy. Don’t sink the cruise ship, or we’re all screwed!” Tang Zheng stood on the deck, holding a megaphone, shouting at the fighting crowd.

“FU~CK, you’re the one bombing the hardest.”

Middle fingers were raised in unison, openly showing disdain for Tang Zheng.

Zhuo Lie was almost driven to death by anger, his eyes full of blood strands, “Why can’t I ever beat him?”

“Yo, big~nosed girl, weren’t you trying to kill me? Now’s a good opportunity!” Tang Zheng waved his armature at the Vietnamese girl.

“Wait, I’ll personally twist your skull off.” The Vietnamese girl gritted her teeth in anger, but didn’t dare to attack, restrained in too many ways.

“A bunch of idiots, being played by one person into the palm of their hand!”

The blue-haired woman looked at the scene, eager to break the stalemate single-handedly.

“Don’t forget the rules, let’s just stick to our duties.”

The red-haired woman didn’t care about these fights. For many years, she had stopped caring, even if the world ended, she wouldn’t bat an eye.

No one expected that a battle that was thought to be intense would end in such an unexpected manner, and Tang Zheng was undoubtedly the cause of this result.

At this moment, everyone remembered him and deeply feared him. Even the Seed Team found him very tricky to handle.

“Tang Zheng and Dantai must die!” Di Jingfei and Yan Chiyang wished to strike immediately, fearing that if these two joined forces, they would become even harder to deal with.

“Any problems?” Vasily asked his deputy Natasha.

“Although it’s troublesome, it can be managed.” The deputy holding the instruction book was quite composed.

Vasily nodded. He knew Natasha’s prowess, and her evaluation meant that the opponent was a formidable enemy.

Despite not having a bad impression of Tang Zheng, the King of War had to consider his subordinates. In the Holy Land, everyone was the enemy, and there was no room for compromise.

The native passengers were out of luck. Except for those who died, the rest all became slaves, escorted by the contestants to handle the aftermath.

The cruise ship was battered and slowed down but did not ultimately sink.

When the ship was three days away from Swansea, the Conquerors couldn’t sit still. After witnessing Dantai’s hot air balloon tactics, most of them started to imitate. (To be continued.
