51: Chapter 34 Preparing for Rain (Part 1)

The female musketeer, Sophie, once again showed off her extraordinary killing ability, making the Nazi Zombie Soldiers in front of her fragile as if they were made of paper.

With each shot of her Silver Musket, the unfortunate zombie’s head was blasted off.

However, due to the limited time of five minutes, Sophie only managed to eliminate a small zombie squad.

Nevertheless, the gains were good, as she obtained a Golden Seed.

“That’s enough.” The only one not satisfied was Tang Zheng.

Everyone who knew about his results from the walkie-talkie took a deep breath, especially the flight attendants who, not wanting to be left out, came to check out the scene.

After that, they surrounded him with excited expressions on their faces, chattering non-stop, asking how he managed to do it.

“I set a bomb trap.” Tang Zheng naturally wouldn’t reveal the secret of the Seed – anyway, he personally took down eight, which was enough to cover for it.

Pang Meiqin and Cheng Chen finished cleaning up the battlefield, each of them not only carrying an MP38 on their backs but also hugging one in their arms.

Furthermore, they were carrying two to three combat backpacks on their arms, with their hands also busy carrying an ammunition box, and around their necks were two canvas bags with grenades, coiled around with a bullet chain.

Bai Guo was quick this time and picked up a Commanding Knife from a German zombie officer wearing a Captain’s emblem.

She swung it around a few times, mimicked the pose of charging under command, then reluctantly handed it over to Tang Zheng.

“If you like it, I’m giving it to you.” Tang Zheng had no interest in these things, his eyes wandering over the shattered bodies.

He wanted to collect World War II German military medals, but his wish was not granted.

“It’s your spoils of war, I don’t want it.” Bai Guo shook her head and stuffed the Commanding Knife into Tang Zheng’s arms and then ran away.

“Sister Qin Yan.” Tang Zheng smiled and walked over to the mature Qin Yan, handing her the Commanding Knife.

“Next time don’t be so reckless, you’re making everyone worry,” Qin Yan advised Tang Zheng while playfully shaking the knife.

“I’ll give this to Bai Guo.

To be honest, you didn’t fall for her, did you?

And what about Li Xinlan?”

“Don’t guess, there’s nothing.” Tang Zheng shook his head and carried three machine guns out of the room.

When Captain Zhao Jingye, Director Kang Songde, and Xu Lu came down the elevator and saw Tang Zheng and the flight attendants waiting outside, knowing that they were too late, he glared at Director Kang dissatisfied.

Blaming this timid man for constantly hesitating, saying to wait more, now even the spoils were taken by the flight attendants.

“Captain Zhao, I thought you’d stay in your room, too scared to come out?” Zhou Zhou immediately began to mock him.

Although the other flight attendants also greeted him, their attitudes towards Zhao Jingye were not as enthusiastic as before.

No one likes a coward.

“It’s all Director Kang’s fault.

Director Kang Songde was scared, so I was delayed.” Zhao Jingye immediately cleared his name, not wanting to be misunderstood.

“You, fine, it was me.” Kang Songde looked annoyed, but eventually suppressed it and defended himself, “You guys are too careless.

What if Nazi Zombies counterattacked, what were you going to do then?”

“You always have a lot of excuses.

I’m tired of hearing them, sorry, please make way.” Pang Meiqin had a look of contempt on her gorgeous face, she gave him a glance and walked into the elevator.

The other flight attendants also filed in, ignoring Kang Songde.

“You guys go up first, I’ll take the next ride.” Upon seeing the hostesses, laden with weapons and ammunition, completely filling the elevator, Tang Zheng prepared to wait for the next round.

But as soon as he said this, the hostesses, led by Pang Meiqin, all stepped out in unison.

“I’ll go with you.”

“Me too.”

The hostesses were all clamoring in chorus, all insisting on going with Tang Zheng.

At this moment, Zhao Jingye looked terribly upset, and Kang Songde was no better, but unfortunately, no one cared about them.

“What are you waiting for?

Are you planning a banquet?” Lin Weiguo and the maintenance worker walked over from the stairwell, followed by a wandering-eyed bald man.

When he saw Tang Zheng carrying three machine guns, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over.

“Hey, Little Tang, isn’t your loot a bit too much?

Three MG42 machine guns, wait, this one seems a little odd.

The bullets are larger.” The bald man had sharp eyes, immediately spotting the difference with the Howling Reaper.

He quickly reached out, wanting to take a closer look, but his mouth was full of flattery, “Tired?

Let me carry one for you.”

“No need.” Tang Zheng sidestepped, refusing to let anyone but his trusted allies touch the Howling Reaper.

“Hey, hey, I’m just trying to be helpful.” The bald man seemed wronged, but his sullen face was quickly replaced with a flattering smile, “You guys look like fierce warriors, covered in spoils of war.

It seems you’ve returned victorious.

Have you thought about taking a few pictures?”

“Shut up, nobody takes you for a mute.” Lin Weiguo gave the bald man a light tap on the back of his head and joked, then he turned towards Tang Zheng, “Need help?”

“What do you think?” Tang Zheng returned his question, casually tossing an MG42 to him, then passed another one to Zhao Jingye.

“For me?” Zhao Jingye was taken aback.

His eyes had been greedy ever since he saw the hostesses loaded with spoils of war, not to mention the three MG42s on Tang Zheng.

But he was too proud to ask for them.

“Baldy already has one, are you planning to let Kang Songde be the frontline?

Besides, the gun’s not light, he’ll be panting with exhaustion just trying to lift it, let alone fight.” Tang Zheng didn’t include the maintenance worker in the main attack team.

It couldn’t be helped, the man was too timid and a bit weak willed.

Unless he was forced into a corner, he never thought of fighting back.

Killing a zombie required a lot of hesitation and an apology.

Having an M4A1 was enough for his self-defense.

“Thank you, thank you.” Hearing this explanation, Zhao Jingye couldn’t contain his joy and slowly put aside the conceit in his heart.

He wasn’t a dummy without brains.

He had always opposed Tang Zheng and wanted to control the whole team, not just due to his pride as an elite but also his desire to show his abilities to Qin Yan.

Marrying that woman would mean he wouldn’t have to strive for the rest of his life.

Of course, this was inseparable from Kang Songde’s instigation.

He probably understood what Director Kang was aiming for.

When the time was ripe, the old man would use his real-world authority and make a deal with Zhao Jingye, manipulating him behind the scenes, controlling the whole team.

Director Kang was smart, but his physical condition was terrible.

Without help, he would be the first to die, so he needed cannon fodder.

“After all, don’t I also need some cannon fodder?” Zhao Jingye carried the MG42 and leaned against the innermost part of the elevator room.

He had no feelings but was carefully reflecting on the gains and losses of these six days.

The reason he pretended to be a fool, obeying Kang Songde’s words in front of everyone, was merely to make him a scapegoat at a critical moment.

In this world without legal restraints where the law of jungle prevails, who wouldn’t have the idea of doing bad things?

Zhao Jingye was no exception.

The evil beast in his heart was roaring.

Unlike the bald man’s cunning thoughts of selfish gain without considering the consequences, Zhao Jingye was considering how to clear his name after doing bad things.

Then Kang Songde would be the perfect scapegoat.
