Infinite Ebullience-Chapter 49 - 32 The 2nd Punishment Time

49: Chapter 32 The 2nd Punishment Time

49 -32 The 2nd Punishment Time

This round of discussion boosted the group’s morale and everyone’s confidence, filled with hope for survival had boosted the morale of the group and everyone’s confidence, fully achieving Tang Zheng’s goal.

As a group leader, he had a lot of things to consider.

“Alright, let’s start the operation now.” When it was 23:00, Tang Zheng interrupted the still excited clamor of the people and announced the start of the operation.

“What operation?” The bald man was puzzled, “Isn’t it just about hiding?”

“Everyone start checking your weapons and equipment, replenishment, and make sure not to leave any items behind.” Tang Zheng pulled out his gun, retracted the clip, filled it with bullets again, then opened his travel bag, counted the items inside, and said, “You’re not planning to all huddle together in a suite and get wiped out by Nazi zombie soldiers in one fell swoop, are you?

Don’t forget, only one person can use the fire escape ladder at a time.”

Everyone snapped back to reality and immediately got busy.

Tang Zheng reminded them that with one fire escape ladder, deciding who would go first would likely become a topic of debate.

“How do we split into teams then?” Zhou Zhou glanced at the others, she wanted to be in a team with Tang Zheng.

Pang Meiqin and Cheng Chen also looked at Tang Zheng; after all, they all knew that being with him was the safest option.

“With enough fire escape routes set up, I suggest everyone move separately — two is the limit.” Tang Zheng lifted his MG42 machine gun and said, “I won’t be with you because I’m going to the security room to monitor the movements of the Nazi zombies through the monitor, and if I have the chance, I’ll strike back and settle the score.”

“Little Tang, have you gone mad?” Sister Qin Yan frowned, “Why take the risk?”

“It’s my decision.

If I don’t do this, I won’t be at peace.

I’ll feel that I’m letting down the expectations of the high school students.” Apart from that, Tang Zheng would also hunt Nazi zombies to collect seeds.

Over the past few days, he’d found that the chances of regular zombies dropping seeds were too small.

Even special infectants were rare, while the Nazi zombies had contributed two in one night.

Of course, he didn’t share any of this with the group.

“Little Tang, we’ve made so much preparation, so just escape.

There’s no need to provoke the Nazi zombies.

What if something unexpected happens?” Cheng Chen looked at Tang Zheng, trying to persuade him.

Everyone else was also pleading with him to change his mind.

Even Zhao Jingye didn’t want Tang Zheng to risk his life.

He did want to be the group leader, but he also wanted Tang Zheng as a member of his team because he knew that with Tang Zheng, his chances of survival would be greater.

“Running away isn’t my style.” Tang Zheng said with a smile, “Don’t waste time.

Group yourselves freely.

And take out your walkie-talkies and turn them on.

Remember, unless necessary, keep silent.”

After clearing the hotel and killing plenty of security zombies, Tang Zheng finally handed each person a walkie-talkie, making communication much easier.

“Then be careful.” Seeing that she couldn’t persuade Tang Zheng, Qin Yan didn’t waste any more words.

She called Bai Guo to her side and told the flight attendants, “I hope you choose the room next to ours, so we can keep an eye on each other.”

Everyone chose a two-person team.

However, it was clear that the bald man and Kang Songde were rejected.

With his awful personality and the status as a prisoner, the bald man was like a ticking time bomb.

The flight attendants had been avoiding him since early on.

Kang Songde was too fat, slow, and timid.

He was a burden and didn’t match the standards of a qualified teammate.

No wonder no one picked them.

“Kang, how about we team up then?” The bald man, seeing the result, grimaced and complained.

He turned to Kang Songde.

“Sorry, I’m going with Zhao Jingye.” Kang Songde sneered.

He knew that the bald man wanted to use him as a human shield and bait in a crisis.

He wouldn’t be so stupid as to fall for it.

Acting oblivious, he refused Wu Xudong.

He approached Zhao Jingye, said something, and teamed up with him under the unhappy gaze of Xu Lu.

Li Xinlan picked up Tang Zheng’s travel bag and stood by his side without speaking, but her intentions were clear.

“Little Tang, I’ll go with you too.” Lin Wei Guo hesitated for a moment, then chose to be with Tang Zheng.

“Having an extra person around will give us a better chance.”

“We’re better off separating.

Create opportunities and attack from both sides.

It’s more efficient than sticking together.” Tang Zheng lifted the MG42 machine gun, walked to the door, turned around and said, “If you run into big trouble, you can call me for help.

So, unless necessary, don’t use the walkie-talkies.

Just hide quietly.”

After taking the elevator to the second floor and entering the security room, Li Xinlan immediately sat down next to the monitor, reporting the movements of those who hadn’t chosen their rooms yet. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

“Cheng Chen, Pang Meiqin, what are you doing on the twelfth floor?

If you’re blocked by Nazi zombies, you can only escape to a lower floor.

Remember, climbing is always less strenuous and more time-efficient than descending.” Tang Zheng glanced at the monitor and immediately shouted into his walkie-talkie.

“Yes, sorry.” Pang Meiqin apologized in a flurry, and Cheng Chen turned and ran to the eleventh floor.

Those who had already hidden heard Tang Zheng’s yelling and realized that there was a method to choosing suites.

It wasn’t just about randomly picking a spot and hiding.

“Sister Qin Yan is pretty smart.

Hmm, Zhao Jingye’s thinking is not bad either.

Generally speaking, a suite in the middle of the fifth and sixth floor is the best choice because you will have the most escape routes available.” Tang Zheng commented a few times, took out ten grenades, and started to make a cluster bomb.

At exactly midnight, the mechanical sound of the Silver Trojan went off, proving Qin Yan’s guess was right: one round every three days.

“Toys, six days have passed, seems like your luck is still holding up, the punishment time has begun, Punishment Troop will be arriving, prepare to escape or fight,”

“Silver Trojan, the Punishment Troop comes every midnight on the third day, right?” Tang Zheng roared out, wanting to confirm once last time, “Is the strength of every Punishment Troop the same?

Will the number of Nazi Zombie Soldiers increase?”

“No comment,” the mechanical Trojan’s voice remained cruel, filled with mockery, “but you can guess.

Of course, you definitely won’t be able to guess it.”

“Hey, hey, don’t underestimate me, I can confidently say that the Punishment Troop comes every third day, and not only that, but the number and equipment of the Nazi Zombies will increase,” Tang Zheng was not provoked by the Silver Trojan, with a calm mind, continued to use his words to probe it, “In addition, I think the Punishment Troop will change, maybe the next time it comes, it won’t be Nazi Zombies.”

“Huh, seems like Silver Trojan has found something, a smart toy, so, Mr.

Toy, what do you think the next Punishment Troop will be?” Silver Trojan was surprised and offered a condition, “There will be a reward if you guess it right.”

This conversation, transmitted through the walkie-talkie entered everyone’s ears.

Everyone listened intently, not wanting to miss a word.

“Anyway, it’ll be a zombified Punishment Troop,” Tang Zheng couldn’t guess, so he gave a broad answer.

As this was a Zombie checkpoint, choosing these words wouldn’t be wrong.

“Cunning, but I’ll give you the exemption card for passing.

Upon usage, you will not be attacked for six hours,” Silver Trojan did not want to waste any more words, and began to push these toys, “Toys, the countdown starts now.

The Punishment Troop will arrive in ten seconds.

Ten, nine, eight…”

A card flashing with silver light mysteriously appeared half a meter in front of Tang Zheng.

The card, shaped like a poker card, was slowly falling.

Tang reached out his hand, and pinched it between his fingers.

The back of the card was silver, and the front was covered with rose vine patterns around the edges.

A silver hourglass was drawn in the center, with a line in gold thin font below, stating six-hour exemption card, and a Gothic English letter B formed with vines in the upper left corner!

Li Xinlan, looking at the floating card, didn’t understand what happened, and that made Tang Zheng sure only he could hear what Silver Trojan said about the reward.

“Nazi Zombie Soldiers started teleporting in the hallways of third, fifth, and twelfth floors,” Tang Zheng started reporting the location of the teleporting Punishment Troop through the walkie-talkie as the countdown ended, “I can’t see three other floors, did zombies teleport in anyone’s rooms?”

Everyone’s heavy breathing could be clearly heard from the walkie-talkie, obviously, everyone was extremely nervous.

“Me, me here.

What should we do?” Zeng Xue’s voice started crying.

She was paired with Zhou Zhou.

“7th floor, Room 707, Nazi Zombies have been teleported into my room,” Lin Weiguo’s voice came through, soon followed by, “I’m with the maintenance worker and we’re moving to Room 807.

Over.”

“Zeng Xue, Zhou Zhou, don’t panic, stay calm.

Move while they’re still teleporting,” Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the security room wasn’t invaded.

They could still monitor the other side’s movements and respond in time.”

“The Nazi zombies on the third and fifth floors started moving, they’re checking the rooms one by one.

The ones on the twelfth floor are headed downwards,”

Li Xinlan told everyone else through the walkie-talkie about the movements of the zombies.

Of course, this wasn’t something Tang Zheng had to do.

Tang Zheng looked at the monitor, satisfaction filled him.

According to the trend, surviving a half-hour punishment time could be accomplished with a snap of fingers, there was no difficulty whatsoever.

“Your strategy worked, and it reminded me of tunnel warfare.

Only we’ve changed it to rope ladders.” Li Xinlan took out her M1911A1 handgun and placed it on the table, so she could reach it anytime to kill zombies.

“I’m taking the elevator up and eliminating the two troops first,” Tag Zheng put on his travel bag, held the MG42 machine gun, then leaned on Li Xinlan’s ear after covering his own shoulder walkie-talkie.

He whispered, “Sister Xin Lan, leave immediately if there’s danger.

Don’t attempt to use the ice layer to block the door.

Even if no one provides me with information, I will still eliminate those zombies.”

“Relax, I’ll take care of myself.” Li Xinlan rolled her eyes at Tang Zheng, but when she heard his concern, she felt a long forgotten stirring in her.

His breath fell on her cheeks leaking warmth that made her heart flutter and her face go red.
