Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 924

Chapter 924: 924

Lear’s expressed wishes and Wang Zheng’s current wishes were clearly two different matters . Since they would not sit and wait for death, then they had to go on the offense . Siemen Kang had briefed the two on the route . Zhang Shan and Ao Ziwei were forced to stay . The key was that their physical skills were not up to such missions . Honestly, even if they tumbled into Zerg, these two still had hopes of escaping . But if Zhang Shan and Ao Ziwei were added to the complement, they would die without question . Zhang Shan’s warp distance was too short .

Wang Zheng and Lie Xin would go, as they said . Zhang Shan dearly wanted to go . But he was clear that under such circumstances, with his abilities, he would just be a liability .

As long as they found the Conqueror there would be hope .

After confirming the situation at the exit, the door opened noiselessly . Wang Zheng and Lie Xin slipped out . Lie Xin had to come as well, because besides Wang Zheng’s Conqueror, there was also a prototype mecha here that Gemini Star used to deal with the abyss Zergs . It was also a super-type fighter, and its capabilities were excellent . If the two of them could get it, then their odds of surviving were increased, as long as the worms did not notice them .

And the troops outside were definitely moving as well, only that the sealed base had to be slowly broken into . And such tremors indeed attracted a large portion of the worms’ attention . They had already reached the outer exit, and were waiting for the door to open .

But not all . More than 10 Zerg were still wandering about the laboratory, hunting for survivors . Clearly, the overmind was still controlling things .

The worms, once released, would not give up their chance at life .

Wang Zheng and Lie Xin were carefully creeping out . The heavy stench of blood was in the air . In truth, there was no need for Lie Xin to come . Only, Wang Zheng had not been able to refuse her strong demands . In Lie Xin’s words, Wang Zheng had no right to control her, and her ability was not much less than Wang Zheng’s .

Wang Zheng’s ear was plastered against the wall . He felt some tremors from his surroundings, but they were not big . If the worms were nearby they were difficult to discover . Their ability to quash tremors was very strong . Once they determined that the coast was clear, the two advanced speedily . Now they had to gamble .

Facing abyss Zergs without a mecha, they could only run or hide . Fighting would be death .

Wang Zheng raised his own sensing abilities to the maximum . He sensitively scanned his surroundings . Stirrings in the air, smell, even the sense of danger .

Lie Xin was the same, but Lie Xin’s response was different from Wang Zheng’s . She was very excited, liberated in her fear . Only when she was close to death could she find herself .

It felt scary but was uneventful . The two of them left the danger zone . Outside, things were quieter . Most of the worms had been drawn to another area that was near the entrance . Whether because the military were prioritizing the experimental results or the people inside, the rescue was doing their best . Wang Zheng had no complaints about their efficacy .

Wang Zheng did not think that he, Lie Xin or even Ao Ziwei had that kind of value . In truth, even Butcher might not have that big an influence . The only one with such value might be the experiments or Luo Er…

Tch, Elite Academy X really was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons . There were VIPs ensconced everywhere .

Their mode of communication was Skylink . Through the monitoring cameras, Zhang Shan and the rest could still see a portion of the region . They could alert Wang Zheng and Lie Xin to the presence of worms, and allow them to dodge . This was an advantage, but they did not know if it would hold given the worms’ destruction .

Zhang Shan was fairly nervous . Damn this was crazy . Wang Zheng was like Xuan Zhang (TN: Priest from Journey to the West), attracting demons and monsters everywhere he went . He was worse than Xuan Zhang . At least the demons were rushing towards Xuan Zhang . Wang Zheng was the kind to get shot even when he was lying down . He attracted trouble .

It was not Zhang Shan’s first time experiencing such things . Of course he was afraid of death, but Zhang Shan hoped that if he had to be killed, it would be a glorious death on the battlefield . To die here like this would be terrible . His transformation would be wasted .

“Ziwei, everything’s fine . Wang Zheng is a durable guy . He even escaped from the abyss, let alone a place like this . ” Zhang Shan said comfortingly .

Ao Ziwei nodded . Basais was especially panicky . His face was pale . He was not too suited to a situation like this, which he had never experienced before . Luo Er was perfectly unafraid of death, and rather excited . But Wang Zheng knew that this was a classic response to having never been in battle . Either they were afraid of death, or ignorant to the dangers . If it was not for the rest holding her back, Luo Er would have wanted to go along, thinking it was all fun and games .

“Wang Zheng, somethings up ahead . ” Butcher said .

Not far away, two abyss Zergs were tearing up corpses . They were not eating, just destroying . The scent of blood was thick, and Wang Zheng and Lie Xin had already halted . Wang Zheng’s five senses were extremely sensitive . He had also smelt the fresh blood in the air . Both nodded slightly, and obscured their breath .

This was a skill that only martial arts practitioners could accomplish . Lie Xin clearly did not need Wang Zheng’s guidance . Although she could not beat him, but in terms of martial arts theory, she was much more knowledgeable than Wang Zheng .

The two abyss Zergs were not the sickle type, but even higher ranked Wolf Spider and Ghost Shell worm varieties .

The two abyss Zergs were very sensitive . The Wolf Spider Zerg raised its head, suspiciously looking about . It shook its head, and suddenly leaped to the left . Humans .

The Ghost Shell worm closely followed . This type of Zerg was not as agile in its movements . Its ground speed was still fine, but on complex terrain it was far lacking compared to the sickle Zerg and Wolf Spider Zerg . But this thing’s defenses were frustrating .

Lie Xin suddenly moved . Almost at the same time Wang Zheng held Lie Xin down, shaking his head .

They could not make it in time . This would be throwing their lives away .

“Calm down!” Wang Zheng said in a low voice .

Before long, the two worms switched targets, and Wang Zheng and Lie Xin continued forward . Wang Zheng was paying special attention to Lie Xin . Her state was not stable . Her judgment was not usually this rash .

“Wang Zheng, after you pass through this block, that will be it . But there’s no surveillance there . You’re on your own . ” Butcher said . This was the hardest part . With vision, there was no need to confront the worms head on, unless they were surrounded . But without the cameras, they could only depend on themselves .

To others, it looked very dangerous, but Wang Zheng’s understanding of danger was completely different . “Lie Xin, follow me in . Don’t stray too far from me . ”

Lie Xin nodded . The two passed through the final obstacle . In the pitch-black hall, things were destroyed . Scattered lumps of flesh were everywhere . An average person might have been repulsed by the gruesomeness of the scene alone, but Wang Zheng carefully walked in with Lie Xin in tow, expressionless . This place was quite badly trashed, and light was dim . Wang Zheng and Lie Xin had no problems with night vision .

Everything was peaceful . So much so that Wang Zheng’s hairs stood on end .

Suddenly, he stopped and pulled Lie Xin back .

His body gradually hunkered down . Quiet… Quieter . Quieten the heart, and become one with the surroundings .

Nothing . It seemed like nothing, but that curious sense continued to grow . Suddenly, Wang Zheng saw a few shadows .

In an instant, the few shadows rushed out, tearing up the place in a frenzy . Five Wolf Spider Zergs, completely hidden in the shadows just a moment ago . Wang Zheng and Lie Xin looked at each other with despair .

These five Wolf Spider Zergs were clearly guarding the place . This was futile . The five Wolf Spider Zergs had no intention of leaving . After trashing the place for a while, they laid down in ambush again .

If there had been no overmind worm, these worms would not behave this way . This must be a command from the overmind .

D*mn it .

Wang Zheng and Lie Xin retreated to a relatively safer place . It looked to be a dead end in front of them . These worms had no intention of leaving, but this was a stretch they had to pass .

“Wang Zheng, not good . F*ck, a Zerg has found us and is breaking down the door . ”

Zhang Shan’s voice came through . In the end they had been discovered . In the great hall, they dared not to move or make a sound . Time seemed to freeze . Now the worm had only found a door, but did not know what was behind it . If it attracted more worms, then they were doomed .

“Wang Zheng, I’ll lure them away . You go get the mecha!” Lie Xin suddenly said .

Wang Zheng shook his head . “No way . ”

“That’s the only way . Don’t be indecisive!” Lie Xin said .

Wang Zheng eyed Lie Xin, and still shook his head . “It’s hopeless . There are five Zerg . You won’t be able to lure them . You’re just committing suicide!”

“That’s our only way . We have to try . Could it be that you like me, and are worried about me?” Lie Xin’s attitude was resolute .

Wang Zheng stared at Lie Xin, trying to see through her soul . Suddenly he pinned her to the wall . Lie Xin’s chest heaved . The danger of the situation was stimulating, and Lie Xin actually smiled .

Wang Zheng could not smile, because he wanted to live . He stated each word clearly: “Lie Xin, suicide is an immature display . Lie Guang was really an idiot, to actually give his life for yours!”

In an instant, Lie Xin was like an angry leopard, struggling . “Say that again!”

Wang Zheng pinned Lie Xin to the wall . “I said, your current actions are imbecilic and stupid . Lie Guang died in vain!”

Lie Xin could not control herself, and opened her mouth to bellow . If she managed to, everyone would die…
