176: Chapter 7 First Downsizing_2 176: Chapter 7 First Downsizing_2 Zhang Hao hesitated without taking any action.
“Didn’t you see that the aliens are no longer pouring onto the streets?
Find a defensive position to hold on, get through this first.
Do you think you guys can outrun these aliens?” The fat man scowled.
These people only think of escaping; they’ve lost all basic judgment.
The boss and the second-in-command exchanged glances, gritted their teeth and thought about how close a call it was.
It was lucky they had not parted ways, otherwise this wave of aliens could have annihilated them.
However, the current situation also seems to be quite tense, because there are too many people in the group who aren’t contributing and refuse to listen.
“If anyone doesn’t want to follow the plan, get out of here, there’s no room for discussion.
Zhang Hao, what are you hesitating for?
Don’t you have a place to use all those bullets?” Tang Zheng commanded.
There was no time for hesitations, if they refuse to obey, then they can go to hell.
He felt no obligation to look after those people.
Zhang Hao gritted his teeth, replaced the clip of his M249 machine gun, and rushed into the room behind him without a word.
He knew Tang Zheng was right.
Qin Yan followed closely behind, taking care of any blind spots he might miss.
“Clear.” Zhang Hao rushed up to the second floor, smashed the glass, and yelled at the street below.
He then started to shoot at the aliens trying to rush into the room.
Qin Yan also joined in the attack.
Amid the crisp gunshots, bullets exploded on the aliens’ bodies, splashing blood.
However, the firepower was too weak.
Unless every shot hit the head, they couldn’t kill these creatures.
“They’re struggling to manage.
Ordinary bullets do too little damage to the aliens,” Yin Shang Wu frowned.
Only Lin Weiguo’s MG3 Roaring Death was somewhat effective, the other gunshots were as ineffective as small raindrops in a thunderstorm.
Even after being shot, the aliens could still rush forward.
Yeast and Tang Zheng’s rifles were the only things here that could cause them fatal injuries.
“That’s why this is so troublesome.
I only bought a hundred clips.
Half a month hasn’t even passed yet, and I’ve already used half of a clip,” Tang Zheng’s expression was grim.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you a secret when the time comes.
This is a secret only a few Conquerors know,” Endorsement tempted Tang Zheng.
Without waiting for Tang Zheng’s command, a group of newbies rushed into the room.
Their speed was so fast that they even ended up shoving each other on their way in.
“You seem to have a scheme going on, don’t you?” Tang Zheng teased, about to retreat when he noticed Little Lolita still clinging onto his leg, standing still.
Though her face drained of blood, she looked determined.
When she saw Tang Zheng looking at her, she said tremblingly, “Uncle, let’s go together.”
“You go first,” Tang Zheng was slightly moved.
It’s always the innocent like Little Lolita.
“Oh, ha-ha, touched, aren’t you?
So, I should be able to get a gun now, right?
No, wait, he will probably worry that I might accidentally fire the weapon.
This is so annoying.
Being young definitely has its downsides.” Little Lolita and Tang Zheng retreated together, as she understood that this place was the safest.
Immediately she pouted, giving up on the idea of asking for a weapon, “Nevermind, I’ll get one from a newbie.
There are so many fools around, anyone will do.”
After entering the room, the aliens’ attack routes decreased sharply.
They could only rush from the door and the window.
It was much easier for the survivors to defend themselves.
Half an hour later, the street was absolutely quiet, the only things remaining were the smell of gunpowder in the room and the panting of the people after they relaxed.
“This firepower is not gonna cut it.
What do we do if we encounter aliens again?” After going through a battle, Pang Meiqin worried.
Outside of Yin Shang Wu and Tang Zheng’s weapons, it was too difficult to kill aliens with regular firearms.
The newbies who teamed up with Tang Zheng and Yin Shangwu all had relieved expressions.
The others were more worried, watching Tang Zheng, who couldn’t stop searching the room, and pondering how to ask him to help themselves.
“It turns out no one’s here.
It’s weird.
We can’t stay in this small town for long.
Get ready.
We leave in three minutes.” Tang Zheng finished speaking and walked out of the house.
“Has he gone crazy?
What is he planning to do?” The woman in the nightgown couldn’t help but shout when she saw Tang Zheng running out to the street.
She was still sweaty and was really scared.
Zhang Hao walked over to the window, looking out.
He knew Tang Zheng was out there to clean up the battlefield and collect seeds.
He actually wanted to join, but the frantic attack from the aliens made him nervous.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have exchanged such a large amount of money and consumables.
Now, I don’t even have a single powerful weapon.” Zhang Hao touched his wristwatch.
He still had a few skill cards and hero cards, those were for saving his life.
He couldn’t squander them here.
As for his seed ability, he didn’t want to use it and end up exhausted, making him an easy target.
Thinking about it, he felt envious of Tang Zheng.
Having teammates was a great advantage, at least it made those with malicious intentions think twice.
Shang Wu was not interested in going out.
She found a sofa to sit down on, took a drink from her backpack, and took a sip.
Watching the newbies run around like ants on a hot pan was quite amusing to her.
“An alien!” The leopard print woman, who was looking at Tang Zheng from the window, suddenly shouted, causing everyone to jump and crowd around her.
The policeman scanned the area to make sure no one was watching him before darting out of the room to search for valuables in the next room.
On the street, a mature alien sprung from a building and charged toward Tang Zheng.
The latter glanced at it indifferently, then continued to look down, searching through the piles of alien corpses and pools of blood for something, completely disregarding it.
“What a madman,” the black tower-like man mumbled, his eyes gleaming fiercely as he clenched his fists until they crackled.
When the alien got within ten meters, Tang Zheng first lifted his rifle, then gave up and took out the bronze sword hanging around his waist.
“He’s not mad, he’s just trying to test his melee abilities while there’s only one alien around.
Once his bullets run out, this data will be very important.” The little lolita muttered to herself, but didn’t make a sound.
“How can they not even guess this?
So dumb.”
Tang Zheng had the same thoughts.
When the alien hurled itself at him with an offensive smell, he decisively dodged and cut its arm.
Its red and green blood splattered, and it hissed in pain.
When it swiped at Tang Zheng, its three-meter-long tail also shot out from below, stabbing toward Tang Zheng’s thigh.
Tang Zheng pushed his feet hard, bouncing back like a bullet, just avoiding the tail.
The alien was quick on its feet, following him closely with its agile movements, almost grazing his side.
“Hard to deal with.” Much of Tang Zheng’s attention was focused on the strangely-attacking tail.
It was like a third hand that was hard to guard against.
Tang Zheng had tried to hack at it, but surprisingly, the edge of the bronze sword couldn’t sever it, only causing some wounds.
This surprised him greatly.
“I’ll have to prepare better cold weapons next time.
All right, it’s time to end this.” He didn’t want to mess around anymore.
There were many things to attend to, and he also wanted to see what kind of girl Uesugi Runa was.
The fight lasted only a minute, but everyone was captivated by the violent clash between man and beast.
Just as they were wondering how long it would be before a winner emerged, Tang Zheng raised his Thunderstorm rifle with one hand and blew the alien’s head off.
“Is this even possible?
I thought it was supposed to be a melee.” The woman in a nightgown twitched at the corners of her mouth, feeling a sense of indignation for the unfortunate alien.
“Such a poor drop rate, just one bronze seed.
Come out, we need to go.” Tang Zheng called into the house as he wiped off the green fluid from his bronze sword and sheathed it.
The newbies reappeared on the street, with some still feeling a lingering fear, but most of them were worried about the future.
It was a long month ahead.
How would they survive?
“Why are we one man short?
Where’s the policeman?” Tang Zheng noticed the problem at a glance and felt slightly annoyed.
What was he thinking, running off like that?
What if he attracted a monster?
“Forget about that sneaky guy, let’s go.” The sleep dress woman’s comment didn’t receive any response from the newbies, who all turned to look at Tang Zheng.
“We’ll wait for twenty seconds, if he doesn’t show up, we’ll leave.” Tang Zheng looked at his watch and started the countdown.
If it wasn’t for his kindness and considering his reputation, he would have left the man behind.
“No need to count, here he comes.” The policeman rushed out of the house, flustered, and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I went to the toilet.” (To be continued.
