It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 522: When together, they are a pile of shit; when apart, they are full of flying
“Are black market bodyguards very powerful?”

Liu Zheng asked.

"At least it's better than you look."

Water Forty-Three tells the truth.

"Tsk, that's because I didn't use my full strength. If I had used all my skills, humph."

"What will happen if I use all of them?"

Shui Forty-three asked cooperatively.

"Alas, it's no different than it is now."

Thinking of how he had almost used up all his trump cards, he couldn't help but sigh.

The loot I got was just a bunch of useless stuff. If I hadn't begged 8848 for two skills, I would have lost a lot.

As expected, if you want to fight, you have to fight with the rich, the poor and the crazy. If you lose, you lose a lot, and if you win, you don’t make any money.

"You can still maintain such a sense of humor at a time like this. It seems that you are very confident in yourself."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"It's not that I'm confident, I just become numb after escaping death so many times. Just like making love, if you make love with the same person 10 or 20 times a day, even if the other person is a succubus, you won't feel anything after a while."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"You've also done it with a succubus?"

Shui Forty-Three stood in awe.

In the sex industry, succubus are considered to be of the highest level, and not everyone can afford to have them.

"Ahem, this is just an ordinary metaphor in my life."

He said slightly embarrassedly.

"You're quite interesting. If I can survive, maybe we can be friends."

Water Forty-Three's tentacles trembled slightly.

"Speaking of which, why did you agree to go undercover here? If you can become a manager here, shouldn't you have better career prospects in your original company?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It was because the company helped me improve my performance and eliminated my competitors that I became this manager."

The water returned forty-three times.

"Then you have never thought about making the best of a bad situation?"

"I've been poisoned. I have to contact the company every week to get the antidote, otherwise I will die in extreme pain."

"Besides, my family is also under the control of the company. If I betray them, they will die with me."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"What conditions did the company offer you?"

"If I come back alive, I will be given the position of deputy director, 100 million in cash and a house in the school district."

"If I die, leave my family 50 yuan in cash, and my children can all join the company in the future, and at least one of them can become a manager."

The water returned forty-three times.

"Why is the reward for your death less than that for your life?"

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"Because if I come back alive, it means my mission is successful and this company is ruined."

Shui Forty-Three explained.

"Like now, you can't blow up all the executives of this company, there will always be one or two who slip through the net. Although they will definitely fall into chaos and the company will beat the fallen dog, there is always the risk of not killing the snake."

"I see. Do you think your company will honor these bad checks?"

he asked.

"I don't know, but I don't have a choice."

Shui Forty-three's eyes were full of helplessness.

"My college tuition was funded by the company. According to the contract, I am obliged to work for the company for ten years. If I resign or am fired by the company for legitimate reasons during this period, I will have to pay a huge fine to the company, which is no different from being dead."

And disobeying work arrangements is a very legitimate reason.

What? You're saying going undercover in a rival company isn't a reasonable job assignment?
Come on, this is the Met.

"No wonder they say you're a deadly warrior. Well, I wish you good luck then."

Liu Zheng couldn't say anything about this matter of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai.

Where there is light, there is darkness. He is just an ordinary man and can only try his best to illuminate the darkness before him. He is really powerless in those gray areas.

To put it bluntly, many of the things Liu Zheng did were not so aboveboard.

"Why, you still want to help me?"

Shui Forty-three understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

"At least you helped me get rid of those bugs. If you can help me, please do so. Of course, if it's too much trouble, forget it."

"You are really direct."

After saying this, Shui Forty-three fell silent, and walked another ten meters before speaking again.

"If I die, can you help me supervise the company to fulfill its promise and protect my family? I can give you half of the 50 reward."

it asked.

"Have you told your family where they are?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, the company put them in a secret place. I can only video chat with them every day and meet them once a week."

Shui Forty-Three shook his head.

"Then I can't guarantee it, I can only do my best."

He thought for a moment and said.

Asking for money was a simple matter. He was also going to ask the company for a bonus, so it was a piece of cake.

But protecting my family is a bit more troublesome.

If Shui Forty-three knew the location of his family, Liu Zheng could launch a surprise attack and rescue them, and everything else would be easy.

But if he wants to find someone, regardless of whether he has the ability or not, first of all, he doesn't have the time.

"That's enough."

Shui Forty-Three nodded.

The fact that a company can put aside its pride and hire a person who has eliminated almost half of its own management team to do the job shows that this person is of top-notch ability and credibility.

There was no conversation along the way, and the two soon arrived near the insect nest.

Like the 11th floor of Xihe Center, the insect nest here is also composed of a large fungal carpet and an insect tower.

The difference is that there is an unexpected person on the fungal carpet here.

He sat upright on a large carved chair, wearing an extremely fancy suit that was not only colorful but also covered with tears.

The sleeves of the shirt were cut into strips from top to bottom, revealing the white silk lining.

The front and back of the top are densely packed with small cuts that form a regular three-dimensional pattern.

This person's pants are also very interesting. There are 4 ventilation holes on each trouser leg, and they are also cut into strips.

As for his hat, it is a red bowler hat with large, even cuts on the brim that make it look like a blooming flower.

Liu Zheng felt that he seemed to have seen someone dressed like this before, but he couldn't remember where he was at the moment.

The man also noticed their arrival, but did not stand up from the chair. He just looked at them with half-open eyes.

"This is the bodyguard the chairman hired from the black market, a Doppler swordsman."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"Oh, I remembered it."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

For a while, he liked a game called "Europa Universalis", in which there was a type of soldier called Doppelganger, and the clothes they wore were very fancy.

Of course, he just watched the UP hosts play, he didn’t have the patience and time.

Liu Zheng looked at the Doppler swordsman's arms, and sure enough, he was holding the iconic German heavy two-handed sword.

This kind of sword is usually 150 to 170 cm long, and the longest one is even 180 cm long. Once inserted into the scabbard, it is almost impossible to pull it out. Therefore, soldiers usually do not wear it on their bodies. Usually, they wrap the sword with sheepskin and put it in the carriage, and only take it out when fighting.

Even when fighting, they would not raise their hands, but carry them on their shoulders.

It is so troublesome to carry, let alone use.

Each Doppler swordsman not only needs to have very high physical fitness, but also needs to undergo a long period of professional training. Therefore, their salary is also very high, often twice that of other arms.

Dopplesoldners originally meant double pay.

"He doesn't seem to be paying attention to us."

Liu Zheng said.

"He is the bodyguard hired by the chairman. As long as you don't do anything that may affect the chairman's safety, he will pretend not to see it."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"Is that so?"

He walked into the fungal blanket, raised his tentacles high and then smashed them down.

The insecticidal dagger suddenly fell, piercing through the protective membrane on the wormhole and piercing through the head shell of the worm inside.

"squeak!"

The insect inside only had time to let out a scream before dying in its sleep.

But its screams woke up its companions, and dozens of insects crawled out from the fungal blanket and then automatically gathered together.

"That's it?"

Liu Zheng counted the number and felt a little disappointed.

That’s less than half of the 11th floor of Xihe Center.

"It's good enough for you to have these at this time."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"Okay, just consider it my problem."

After all, it was he who changed the time at the last minute.

But even though I didn't catch a school of fish, it was good to catch a big fish.

Although this big fish doesn't look easy to get into the net.

"Find a place to hide yourself."

Looking at the swarm of insects taking off, Liu Zheng said to Shui Forty-three.

"No, I'm here to be an undercover agent, not to be a burden."

After Shui Forty-Three finished speaking, he pulled out a bottle from the folds of his abdomen and drank the liquid inside.

Soon, countless mucus secreted from the holes in its skin, making it look like a piece of melting green wax.

Then, it took out a palm-sized triangular device.

Shui Forty-three pressed the button on the device, and a thin layer of shield covered it.

It hesitated for a moment, then took out a similar device and handed it to Liu Zheng.

The latter took the device and an introduction to the item popped up immediately.

"Name: Deflection Field Generator (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Creates a deflected stance that covers the entire body. Excellent defense against ranged and elemental attacks, but poor defense against melee physical attacks. Duration: 5 minutes."

"Note: You have to deflect your stance when you want to blow up a fish. Are you blowing up a whale?!"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"This thing is only suitable for defending against long-range attacks, so I'll have to trouble you to help me stop those insects that are close to me."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"no problem."

Liu Zheng readily agreed because he felt obliged to do so.

After getting ready, the two rushed towards the swarm of insects.

The swarm of insects also formed their camp and pounced towards them.

An overwhelming amount of poison needles, poison powder, acid, and fireballs fell like raindrops, pouring down on the small space between the two of them.

"Fuck, is it that fierce?"

Liu Zheng was startled by the noise. The noise was no less powerful than that of the bugs in the center of Xihe River, but the number of both sides was much smaller.

"The evolution of the Zerg in this office building is more inclined towards long-range attacks, so I prepared this deflection field generator."

Shui Forty-Three said.

"As expected of someone selected as an undercover agent, you have something."

he praised.

"Thank you. Here they are."

Shui Forty-Three reminded.

"Okay, duck to the right."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he jumped, and Shui Forty-three followed closely behind.

A small portion of the attack hits the creep and is absorbed by it.

Most of the attacks still hit the two people. Attacks such as acid, poison powder, and fireballs were directly blocked by the deflection position, while attacks such as stingers and poison needles had their kinetic energy absorbed and fell softly.

Liu Zheng casually slapped away the hidden weapons, then exerted force with his hooves and immediately rose from the ground.

In reality, the highest record for standing high is 1.2 meters, but with the bonus of super high attributes, he easily jumped to more than two meters.

Of course, this height was not enough for him to reach the swarm of insects in the air.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng's arms are much longer than Superman's. Compared with him, his ancestor Liu Bei has short arms.

"Hey!"

His tentacles swung like windmills, hurling out the serrated butcher knife, dragon-scale knife, and insect-killing dagger at the same time, just like using a slingshot.

With the same force, the three weapons perform differently.

The best performing one is of course the Dragon Scale Knife. Its perfect quality and sharpness plus the bonus of true damage can break wings or limbs even with a mere touch. The rage attached to the blade makes the insects scream.

The next best performance is the Insect Killer Dagger, which has true damage plus a high damage bonus. As long as it hits those vulnerable parts, it will kill with one hit.

However, due to its small blade, its killing efficiency is far inferior to that of a horizontal sword with a blade of more than 80 centimeters.

The worst performing weapon is the Serrated Butcher Knife. Although its power is in the upper-middle range among excellent quality weapons, it is far inferior to the perfect quality "Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath" and the "Insecticide Voodoo Dagger" for special attacks against Zerg.

Under the attack of the three weapons, broken limbs and arms, pieces of insect wings and shells fell from the sky, as well as the body fluids and blood of the alien insects.

If it weren't for his biased stance, Liu Zheng would have been drenched all over his head and face.

"boom!"

His rising momentum was exhausted, and he landed with a thud, just in time to avoid the swarm's counterattack.

"Haha, great, let's do it again!"

This time Liu Zheng directly used the "Kicking" skill.

The hoof was raised high and kicked hard into the ground, blowing a big hole in the fungal blanket and revealing the soil underneath.

Under the reaction force of the explosion, he flew straight into the sky and rushed towards the swarm of insects that he had just destroyed.

But the Zerg is not stupid. It will not be hit by the same trick again after being hit once.

When together they are a pile of shit; when apart they fly all over the sky.

The swarm of insects spread out in all directions, forming a colorful circle in the air, and Liu Zheng came to the center of the circle, holding up his knife and looking around in confusion.

Because the insect closest to him was also out of his attack range.

"How come the bugs here can deploy troops and form battle formations? Do you managers hold a book of military tactics when you have meetings?"

Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

Just as he was thinking about changing his tactics, a voice came from the ground.

"Three o'clock!"
