Chapter 177 - 177 8 No One Can Command Me
177: Chapter 8 No One Can Command Me 177: Chapter 8 No One Can Command Me “Are you alright?
Why is your face so pale?
Why is your breath so ragged?” Tang Zheng certainly wouldn’t believe such evasion.
However, after glancing at his bulging pockets, he loses interest in interrogating further.
A large mass of crumpled Japanese Yen and gold jewelry was visible, what had been done was evident.
“Thief.” The woman in the nightgown murmured under her breath.
The others outright ignored the policeman.
At such a time, who could be bothered about a stranger’s fate?
Self-preservation was foremost on their minds.
“Brother Tang, you should leave this small town immediately.” Wrench Man had heard of Pang Meiqin calling Tang Zheng by his name, but he didn’t dare do the same.
It was impolite, and after witnessing the formidable power of this man daring enough to grapple with the alien, he further added a bit of reverence to his attitude.
Newbies immediately echoed him, subtly urging Tang Zheng to leave.
Nearly three hundred alien corpses were scattered on the streets and the air was filled with the nauseating smell of blood.
Just standing there made them shiver with horror, they couldn’t wait to leave as soon as possible.
“Tang Zheng and I will take the lead.
Follow closely and don’t expect us to save you if you fall behind.” Zhang Hao adjusted the bullet chain on his M249, pulled the bolt back, and prepared to pave the way.
“He’s trying to win your favor, likely hoping that you’ll help find the pigtailed girl.” Li Xinlan stood beside Tang Zheng and pointed out the reason for his changing attitude.
Naturally, she was hoping to prevent Tang Zheng from being fooled.
Qin Yan nodded in agreement by her side.
All the newbies who had the same target girl as Tang Zheng subconsciously looked at him, unconsciously hoping he wouldn’t help.
“We’ll talk about it once we’re out of the town.” Noticing these looks, Tang Zheng picked up his Thunderstorm Assault Rifle and went forward.
His face was calm, he definitely wouldn’t let them guess his thoughts.
The policeman was in the middle of the group.
Once he was sure no one was paying attention to him, he quietly let out a breath of relief.
He covered his throat and thought about the terrifying experience he just had, showing a frightened expression.
He had gone into the house next door and turned it upside down in less than a minute.
He found a handsome amount of Japanese Yen in a cupboard.
He was about to leave, but then he noticed a cardboard box filled with AV Blu-ray DVDs under the bed.
He was drawn in by the enticing girls on the DVD covers.
He couldn’t help but pick up two DVDs featuring busty beauties in bikinis, when an Alien Facehugger larva suddenly leaped out from under the DVDs in the box and latched onto his face…
“I wasn’t impregnated, was I?” For a moment, the policeman had felt suffocated, almost certain he was a goner.
However, when he came to his senses, there was no hard shell that would be left behind by a Facehugger laying eggs.
His face was also clean, aside from the cold sweat, there was no sickening sticky fluid…
“Scaring myself can also be deadly.
I should be fine, maybe I’m just tired and hallucinated.” The policeman consoled himself and felt a little better.
However, Tang Zheng was in a bad mood.
Since they didn’t know the layout of the town, they couldn’t find the fastest way out.
They could only move in one direction as much as they could.
As they turned a street corner, Zhang Hao saw a young boy about fifty meters away holding a dog.
He raised his machine gun and was about to pull the trigger.
“Wait.” Tang Zheng quickly reached out to raise the muzzle of the gun.
Dak dak dak, the gunfire shattered the silence.
The dog started barking wildly, while the boy turned and ran.
“What the hell are you doing?” Zhang Hao shook off Tang Zheng’s hand, very discontented.
“Can’t you make sure before you attack next time?
What if you hurt someone by accident?” Tang Zheng didn’t want to involve civilians.
“How could I hurt someone accidentally?
I think everyone in this town is an alien.” Zhang Hao spat and looked around viciously.
“I’ll only feel safe when they’re all dead.”
“Yeah, let’s just kill them.
What if they have Facehuggers inside them too?
We definitely can’t let them get close,” the woman in the nightgown suddenly interjected, siding with Zhang Hao.
Her words were incredibly cold-blooded.
Everyone looked at the woman, their eyes somewhat strange.
“Wait.
I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?
Isn’t this a game?
Aren’t they NPC’s?
What’s wrong with killing them?” The woman in the nightgown felt the ambiguity in her words and tried to cover it up quickly.
“They’re real people.
Just Japanese people from years or even decades in the future.” Bai Guo thought of the previous two games, where quite a few ‘NPCs’ had also died.
“What if we don’t kill them?
What if they can hatch aliens?” The Wrench Man was also very worried.
“By the way, Tang Zheng, how did you know that there was something wrong with that young woman just now?” The fat man wondered about another question, quite curious.
“When the policeman walked by, she didn’t show any facial expressions.
I just found it strange.
I didn’t expect her to have an alien larva in her belly.
As for the boy just now, didn’t any of you notice that he was looking at us with curious eyes?” Tang Zheng waved his hand, signaling to keep moving.
When the sound of hurried footsteps rang out again, the newbies felt a sense of defeat again.
They had been too busy keeping an eye on their surroundings, ready to run at the first sign of an alien.
They didn’t have the spare time to observe the expressions of strangers.
After nearly twenty-five minutes, everyone left the small town and arrived on a dyke covered with lush green grass.
They finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Although they had not encountered another alien attack, the mental stress was too much.
At this moment, the newbies wouldn’t mind just lying down and going straight to sleep right there.
“Yin Shangwu…” As soon as Tang Zheng started speaking, everyone’s gaze fell on him, waiting for him to continue.
The little Lolita was standing on one leg, gazing at the scenery on the riverbank, looking quite carefree.
“Have you made your decision?” Yin Shangwu saw Tang Zheng nodding, pointed her index finger, and warned, “I warn you, I really hate being used by others.”
“You guessed it,” Tang Zheng smiled bitterly.
This woman was really petty.
“What’s happening?
I don’t understand,” Bai Guo asked Qin Yan in a low voice with her hand over her mouth, “I feel more and more like an idiot.”
“Tang Zheng probably wants to go with Xin Lan and others to find that Chikashima Airi.” Qin Yan also gave a bitter smile.
Honestly speaking, she didn’t want to separate from Tang Zheng either, as he was a powerful asset.
“If the target girl dies, her team members will also die.
Are you really willing to entrust her to me?” Yin Shangwu stared at Tang Zheng, keen to understand him completely.
“I always feel that you’re the kind of person who likes to have control over his own life and all situations.”
“This is an exception.
Without someone who understands Japanese, they are sure to be wiped out.” Tang Zheng didn’t exaggerate.
In a foreign land, it was a challenge to even find a girl, let alone protect her for thirty days.
“That’s their problem.” The woman in the nightgown tried to persuade Tang Zheng, “They need to figure out their own solutions, they can’t always rely on others.
Besides, it’s their fault for not knowing Japanese.”
“Seriously, all you did was latch onto a good teammate.
There’s no reason to act so arrogantly.” The man with the wrench retorted, inciting others to agree.
This was a matter of life and death, there was no room for carelessness.
After experiencing the alien attack just now, none of the newbies dared to take the game lightly anymore.
“Luck is part of one’s ability too.” The woman in the nightgown didn’t want to argue anymore, “Tang Zheng, let’s hurry up and leave.
The time we’re wasting here could cost the target girl her life at the hands of the alien.”
“That’s quite possible.” The fat man chimed in.
“Bloody hell, anyone who talks nonsense gets a bullet from me.” The third poacher raised his gun and pointed it at a few newbies, “Tang Zheng, if you want to come with me, Big Brother, Second Brother, what do you say?”
Before the two poachers could exchange views, Tang Zheng had already punched the third poacher in the chest, knocking him out.
His speed was so fast that the others only saw a blur.
This situation scared them and, due to their long-term aggressive nature, they instinctively raised their guns.
But then they remembered Tang Zheng’s strength and the fact they still needed him in the future, so they quickly lowered their guns and put on a smile.
“No one can order me around.” Tang Zheng didn’t even look at the third poacher, but stared at the other two poachers instead.
“The third brother is a bit ignorant, don’t mind him.
We’re all in the same boat, we should help each other.” Scarface took out a cigarette, about to give it to Tang Zheng but was immediately declined.
“You’re part of our group, aren’t you?
Or are you planning to go and find Chikashima Airi with your two brothers?” The policeman’s words made Scarface’s face change, he loved saving face.
If he said he wasn’t going, wouldn’t it be humiliating in front of everyone?
“Everyone, shut up.” Tang Zheng gave him a glance before ultimately deciding.
“It’s settled then, those who want to go there can decide for themselves, but absolutely no disclosure about our survivor status.
Don’t blame me for not reminding you, if you share any information about the game with others, you will be subject to Trojan Eradication.”
Ignoring the murmuring of the newbies, Tang Zheng turned to Yin Shangwu, “Tokyo city is easy to find.
Although the photo doesn’t have Uesugi Runa’s home address, it does have her school’s address.
A simple inquiry or search through the student records will reveal her address.
It’s better for you to take the lead.
Be careful not to expose your whereabouts, especially the newbies.
Don’t rely on them.
As for the issue of Japanese Yen, it’s better not to do something conspicuous like robbing a bank, just kidnap a wealthy person.”
“Do you plan to give me a detailed plan?
Are you going to dictate even what I should eat?” Yin Shangwu tried to tease him, but to her surprise, Tang Zheng nodded seriously.
“Restrict them.
Don’t think about having sushi or other local foods when you get to Japan.
It is completely unnecessary.
Find a hiding place and no one should leave it.” Tang Zheng spoke without avoiding the newbies, which led to their discontentment.
“What do you take us for?” The woman in the sleeping gown complained.
She actually wanted to take a stroll in the famous Ginza area.
“A burden.” Tang Zheng replied succinctly, stifling their words, “If you don’t want to die, follow my instructions.
I don’t mind bringing you all back alive, but I also won’t hesitate to eliminate danger in advance.”
Hearing this, everyone felt a shiver down their spine.
Looking at Tang Zheng’s expression, it was clear he was not joking.
“Uncle is so cool.” The little Lolita clenched Tang Zheng’s sportswear, her face gleaming with delight.
She enjoyed seeing others getting scolded.
