Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

All the insects in the fungal carpet woke up and rushed out of the burrow to fly towards the fart-spirit cannonball.

The dense swarms of insects almost completely obscured the sky; their sheer number was enough to block out this airspace.

Moreover, they are not just about quantity.

Poisonous farts, poisonous stings, venom, poisonous needles, mouthparts, gales, ice spikes, fireballs.

Physical, magical, and inexplicable attacks rained down on the fart-spraying cannonballs like a storm.

The three green creatures were not surprised but delighted. They manipulated the cannonballs, making them fly up and down in the air with a skill that even ace pilots in real life could not do.

Sometimes it flies in a zigzag pattern, sometimes in an S-shape, and sometimes it even flies backwards.

Through various extreme maneuvers, they managed to dodge most of the attacks.

The remaining small portion of the attacks were also neutralized by the green light emanating from them.

"Commander Maria, you can get ready."

Upon seeing this, Liu Zheng immediately spoke up.

"Understood. Kassitsen, Kolobanov, get ready."

"Commander Maria gave the order."

The loader placed his hand on the lock of the ammunition box, while the gunner placed his hand on the firing mechanism.

All the crew members were waiting, waiting for a real opportunity.

And the opportunity came soon.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective and the fart cannonballs were getting closer and closer, the insect tower could no longer hold back.

The upper part of the insect tower suddenly collapsed, and countless huge insects flew towards the fart cannonball.

Despite their larger size, they fly much faster and are much more agile than the insects in the fungal carpet, even keeping up with the trajectory of the fart-sperm cannonballs.

Soon, the flight path of the three fart-spiky cannonballs was blocked by these giant insects.

The creep bugs launched another attack, locking onto the fart cannonball.

This time, they had nowhere to hide.

But it doesn't matter, their mission is already accomplished.

"emission!"

Captain Maria shouted.

At a speed that Liu Zheng couldn't even see, Cassitzen opened the ammunition box and stuffed a spiky shell into the breech.

Kolobanov pulled the trigger the instant the loading was complete.

One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots, five shots.

Five fart-sperm cannonballs were fired from the cannon barrel almost one after another, joining the chase.

The swarm of insects was taken aback and immediately set aside a portion to pursue this new force.

The remaining half of the insect tower collapsed and rushed towards the five fart cannonballs.

After the insect tower completely collapsed, the entity in the center of the nest finally revealed itself.

To Liu Zheng's surprise, it was neither a giant insect egg, nor a fat worm like a queen bee, nor a hatchling constantly crawling out larvae.

It was a woman's head, the same size as an ordinary woman's head, and even her appearance was as ordinary as an ordinary woman's.

She tilted her head back with her eyes open, and her head was even turning around, giving the impression that she was paying attention to the situation in the air.

However, her empty eyes made people wonder if she still had any sense left.

There was no need to catch insects for interrogation; Liu Zheng's intuition told him that this woman was Chen Xiaoxue, the one he was looking for.

"Captain Maria."

he shouted.

"Full speed ahead."

Captain Maria immediately understood.

The kitten let out a furious roar and sped toward the center of the nest.

Although the fungal carpet is as soft as mud, it is still almost like a main road in front of the tank's wide tracks.

The insect swarm noticed what was happening below and momentarily lost its composure.

These few insects are already struggling to stop these eight nimble, mosquito-like artillery shells, let alone split up to stop the tanks.

But not stopping them is also impossible.

A dozen or so insects broke away from the blocking formation and flew toward the tank.

"let me."

This time, Commander Maria did not let Liu Zheng take control of the vehicle, but instead took on the role of machine gunner herself.

The anti-aircraft machine gun, which was only good for fishing with firepower in Liu Zheng's hands, was almost like a sniper rifle in the hands of this meritorious tank commander.

With just one volley of fire, she shot down three insects.

Moreover, it wasn't just three insects that were hit; the other insects that were hit were either particularly tough or had ways to survive.

The other insects that survived the ordeal immediately gained altitude, but the modified anti-aircraft machine gun had an effective firing range of up to 4000 meters, and they simply didn't have time to escape.

“Xa! Xa! Xa!”

Commander Maria let out a hearty laugh as she controlled the anti-aircraft machine gun to hunt down the remaining insects.

The other members of the crew exchanged smiles.

In that final battle, Captain Maria smiled as she led them into battle against an enemy force many times their size.

The distance of a football field is neither too long nor too short.

The tank quickly drove up to the woman's head.

Are you Chen Xiaoxue?

Liu Zheng asked through the loudspeaker in the tank compartment.

However, the woman's head did not respond.

"I want to go out."

He frowned and spoke to Captain Maria.

"Karlzen, you accompany the commander outside."

"Captain Maria said without even looking at them," she replied.

Kalzen nodded and was the first to crawl out of the tank compartment.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual outside, he gestured for Liu Zheng to go up.

Liu Zheng then crawled out of the tank compartment and, under the protection of Kalzen, came to the woman's head.

Are you Chen Xiaoxue?

He asked again.

However, the woman's head still did not respond.

“I know the security guard in your office building. He asked me to deliver takeout to you and also asked me to kill you. He used to be an editor.”

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

Upon hearing the word "editor," the woman's eyes seemed to flicker.

This fluctuation was very brief and subtle.

If Liu Zheng's perception attribute hadn't been boosted to an extremely high level, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

However, he still managed to capture it.

Therefore, it was confirmed that this woman was Chen Xiaoxue.

"He ordered this for you, eat it while it's hot."

Liu Zheng took the takeout from the delivery box, then squatted down and handed it to Chen Xiaoxue. (The food was near the woman's mouth.)

Fish head milkshake is not a milkshake served with a fish head, but a milkshake made by blending fish brain and cream.

The milkshake had an odd bluish-gray color and its shape was neither a typical solid nor liquid; instead, it was a glassy, ​​gel-like consistency that didn't look appetizing.

Name: Fish Head Milkshake

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Restores stamina and increases spirit by 1."

"Note: The milkshakes that were not delivered eight years ago have led to completely different lives when they are finally delivered."

Chen Xiaoxue stared blankly at the milkshake, her face expressionless.

But her mouth kept opening and closing, yet she couldn't drink the milkshake from the cup.

Liu Zheng slightly raised the cup, letting the milkshake flow down the tilted rim and into Chen Xiaoxue's mouth.

She bit down hard on the cup, so hard that Liu Zheng wondered if she might bite off the steel rim.

Her throat kept making swallowing motions, like a person about to die of thirst drawing from the fountain of life.

The already limited milkshake was quickly emptied by such ferocious swallowing.

Liu Zheng poured the last bit of liquid into Chen Xiaoxue's mouth, then threw away the cup and stood up.

"Chen Xiaoxue, your takeout has been delivered."

He slowly pulled out the boning knife, then cleanly and decisively severed Chen Xiaoxue's head.

Chapter 202 Ultimate Ease and Hellish Soup

The remaining force from the knife caused Chen Xiaoxue's head to roll to one side.

However, just as Liu was about to bend down to pick it up, his head melted rapidly and merged into the fungal carpet.

Then, an identical head grew out of the same spot.

"I see."

He sighed.

Chen Xiaoxue is like this fungal carpet; as long as the fungal carpet exists, she will never die.

In a sense, she is the mother nest of these insects.

Liu Zheng suspected that if he couldn't kill Chen Xiaoxue, he also wouldn't be able to destroy the fungal carpet.

Fortunately, he still had the last resort that the security guards had given him.

Liu Zheng extended his tentacle, and a white pill stuck to the tip of his tentacle.

He handed the pills to Chen Xiaoxue, who stared intently at them, her jaw clenched.

Now she's like those naked insects, reduced to nothing but biological instincts.

Among the instincts of living beings, the most powerful is the instinct for survival.

Liu Zheng could use violence, but if he could, he wouldn't want to.

The living deserve dignity, and the dead also need a final moment of respect.

"This was given to me by your editor."

He thought for a moment and said.

Chen Xiaoxue's gaze shifted from the pills to Liu Zheng, and then she suddenly let out a howl.

The howl was so terrifying, containing boundless love and longing, and the resulting resentment and despair.

Her face was distorted like an abstract painting, and the tears and snot flowing freely made her look even uglier.

However, Liu Zheng did not show any disdain.
