Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

He said to Captain Maria.

"Load grenades, fire!"

Captain Maria immediately gave the order.

The loader, Cassitzen, immediately grabbed a shell with a red tip and shoved it into the breech.

This is a high-explosive fragmentation grenade specifically designed for tanks. It combines explosive and fragmentation capabilities, and can be used simultaneously to destroy field fortifications, kill enemy personnel, and engage lightly armored targets.

Gunner Kolobanov locked onto the target during the loading process, and immediately pulled the firing mechanism as soon as the shell was loaded.

The roar of cannons rang out again, and a red grenade struck the terrified face like a meteor.

A flash of fire, a powerful shockwave, and intense heat brought peace to the poor man, but also served him as a sacrifice.

Countless high-speed metal jets instantly turned the surrounding insects into beehives, and the subsequent shockwave tore their already battered bodies to shreds.

"Cease fire and continue advancing."

After assessing the situation, Captain Maria spoke.

The performance of this Tiger II tank and the power of its shells exceeded her expectations. Just how much did that remnant of the SS modify it?

Does he still intend to retaliate?

The problem is, he has no one left to retaliate against; they're all dead.

Maria shook her head, no longer considering the thoughts of that aesthetically challenged German, and focused on commanding the battle.

"Huh? There's an unexpected bonus."

Upon getting closer, Liu Zheng exclaimed in surprise.

Among the pile of mangled insect carcasses, a large, oily black cockroach was twitching.

Its shell and wings were crushed to a pulp, its tentacles were severed by the roots, a quarter of its head was taken away, and only one of its six legs remained.

But it is still alive, and it seems to be quite resilient.

Next to the black cockroach was an even larger scarab beetle, which had been completely blown to pieces.

It must have been because of it blocking the way that this black cockroach was spared half its life.

“Excellent. Comrade Maria, could you please keep watch while I go and bring it in?”

Liu Zheng said.

“Commander, it’s safer for you to stay in the cabin. Comrade Cassitzen, go and drag that pest in.”

Captain Maria refused his request.

"OK then."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

He believed in the principle of "not using those you doubt, and not doubting those you use," and trusted the judgment of professionals.

The loader, Cassitzen, nodded silently, then opened the top cover and climbed out of the tank.

He nimbly leaped off the roof of the car and then strode over to the black cockroach in a few steps.

The black cockroach hissed menacingly at him, but Cassini remained unmoved and reached out to grab its head.

The black cockroach opened its mandibles, its large mandibles clamping down hard on Cassent's fingers.

Cassini revealed a cold smile, then slammed down a punch.

His steel fist, as hard as his will, smashed the black cockroach's mandibles, the broken mandibles embedding themselves into its own mouthparts.

Even if only a remnant soul remains of a warrior who once stirred up a frenzy across the world, he is not someone a pest can easily take advantage of.

Cassini grabbed the black cockroach by the head and dragged it into the tank compartment.

After enduring a series of heavy blows, the black cockroach also awoke from its extreme nature and regained some of its human form.

Its one remaining small eye looked left and right, its gaze filled with both ferocity and fear.

"You're very lucky; you survived that kind of firepower."

Liu Zheng also noticed this and spoke up.

"But you're also very unlucky, because as I said, the one that survives is just unlucky."

"Now tell me, where are Xiao Mei the cleaner and Chen Xiaoxue? If you tell me quickly and clearly enough, I might consider giving you a happy death."

Why are you looking for them?

The black cockroach rolled its eyes and asked.

"Can't you tell? I'm here to deliver takeout to them."

Liu Zheng pointed to the legendary vest he was wearing.

“We didn’t stop you from delivering food, so you shouldn’t attack us. If you let me leave, I can pretend nothing happened. If you persist, the company will naturally file a complaint with the city hall later.”

The black cockroach said with a hint of anger.

As expected of a senior executive, he reacted quickly and reasoned logically.

Unfortunately, Liu Zheng had no intention of reasoning with it.

If reasoning with him were effective, why would he need to prepare such a powerful fist?

“Who said there were no obstacles? So many of you insects gathered together have completely blocked my path.”

Liu Zheng said emphatically.

"Ah."

The black cockroach made a mocking sound.

"Looks like you're tough, the grenade just now didn't even break you. But that's fine, I don't want you to die too easily."

He smiled and pulled out the boning knife.

"You must hold on, or I'll be unhappy if you confess too quickly."

He wielded the boning knife, cut open the remaining carapace on the black cockroach's back, and then reached his tentacles inside.

"what!"

Along with the return of human nature comes the sense of pain; the sudden, unexpected pain strikes, and the black cockroach lets out a scream.

"What are you doing? You scared me."

Liu Zheng patted his chest, looking as if he had been frightened.

"You're so fragile, I'm going to punish you."

He gripped the knife handle and stirred it back and forth inside the black cockroach's body.

He mashed up some things that he couldn't tell if they were muscle or internal organs into a paste, then picked them out and fed them into the black cockroach's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"What you're doing is against the rules."

The black cockroach spoke haltingly.

"It doesn't taste good. It's okay, I'll heat it up for you."

While comforting him, he unscrewed a machine gun cartridge and poured the gunpowder inside into the black cockroach's body.

After pouring out the gunpowder for ten bullets, he lit the lighter.

The dazzling firelight made Liu Zheng squint, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The unpleasant smell of gunpowder filled the entire cabin, but fortunately, only Liu Zheng among the crew members still had a sense of smell.

As for the black cockroach, it no longer has the energy to consider the smell.

The intense pain of the gunpowder burning inside its body assaulted its brain without restraint; if it could still faint, it would have already done so.

Unfortunately, this insect's body lacks a pain protection mechanism, so it can only accept this generous gift in full.

"Is it delicious now?"

Liu Zheng cut off another piece of burnt charcoal and stuffed it into its mouth.

The black cockroach was too weak to protest anymore. No matter how strong its vitality was, it was not far from death after all this torment.

"Still not working? I'll try one more time. Don't worry, I'll make sure you have a delicious last meal today."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

"Stop torturing me, I'll talk."

The black cockroach said weakly.

"Actually, you didn't have to say it. Your company should provide extra compensation for a warrior like you who would rather die than surrender, right?"

He tried to persuade the black cockroach to persevere a little longer.

"What a load of rubbish. Even if there's a pension, that bitch will use it to support her gigolo."

Mentioning the compensation, the black cockroach regained some strength and cursed loudly.

"Alright, go ahead and tell me."

Liu Zheng glanced at him, looking quite disappointed.

Looking at him, the black cockroach felt a chill run down its spine.

When did this perverted deliveryman arrive at the Bloody Restaurant?

"The new girl, Xiaomei, is in that direction. As for Chen Xiaoxue..."

The black cockroach hesitated for a moment.

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he grabbed a handful of bullets.

"She's in the nest."

The black cockroach immediately spoke.

"Tch. Where's the nest?"

he asked.

"In the heart of the jungle, just keep walking in that direction."

The black cockroach pointed in a direction with its head.

One is in the northeast, and the other is in the southwest, their directions are completely opposite.

After a brief moment of thought, Liu Zheng made his decision.

Go rescue the cleaning staff first.

After all, Chen Xiaoxue has lived for eight years, so a little longer won't make a difference.

"Can you let me go? I have money."

The black cockroach tentatively spoke.

"how much is it?"

"One hundred thousand, no, two hundred thousand, no, no, five hundred thousand!"

The black cockroach kept raising its price as it observed Liu Zheng's gaze.

"One million, that's all I have. Or give me some time, and I'll sell those fixed assets to raise the money for you."

The black cockroach hardened its heart and said.

Once a promise is made, this money must be honored.

Even for a senior executive like him, this is a huge financial blow.

But as long as the insect survives, the money can always be earned back.

Once it gets back to its office, it has a million ways to screw over that damn delivery guy.

"One million, that's a very tempting number. Wait a minute."

Liu Zheng rummaged through the takeout box and pulled out the old-fashioned DV camera that Red Ghost had given him.
