170: Chapter 3 This is the Group Leader 170: Chapter 3 This is the Group Leader “I’ll repeat myself once more, everyone stand up, no exceptions.” Zhang Hao barked, his face twisted into a nasty smile.

The two university student lovers clearly hadn’t experienced something like this before.

Startled, they stood up.

The woman in the nightgown looked pleadingly at the hulking man, who seemed on the verge of taking action—but the pudgy man shook his head and stood up as well.

“Good, that’s more like it.

From now on, my word is law.

You’ve got two options — obey or die.” Zhang Hao, who had climbed his way up from being construction site labor, believed that the only thing that counted in a life-or-death fight was an iron fist.

Morality had no place here.

“Any questions?” he sneered.

The hulking man looked unhappy and was about to speak, but he clamped his mouth shut when he saw Zhang Hao pull an M249 machine gun out of his backpack.

He wound the yellow-orange bullet chain around himself and pointed the dark, foreboding muzzle outwards.

As a former war mercenary, he recognized that killer look.

He knew if he so much as opened his mouth, he would be turned into Swiss cheese.

“Haha, Tang Zheng, you see?

No need for any of that sweet talk.

With just your iron fist, you tell everyone that there are only two choices: obey you to survive, or die if you don’t.

Isn’t it simple?” Zhang Hao laughed triumphantly and made fun of Tang Zheng.

“So, what’s your choice now?”

He turned his attention to Qin Yan and her group.

In his eyes, Tang Zheng was simply wasting these four women.

They were pretty, skilled, could warm his bed and could also serve as human shields— far better than Jiaojiao, that fickle woman.

“Pfft, you’re a fool too.

Of course, we’ll choose Tang Zheng.

Can’t you even see that?” Bai Guo, a lolita with a huge bust, directly cursed out and pulled an M4A1 carbine with an M203 grenade launcher attached out of her backpack.

With a quick flip, she cocked the gun and took aim, adopting a standard shooting pose.

“Following you is a quicker way to die.” Pang Meiqin also pulled out her M4A1 and started cursing at Zhang Hao, but her eyes were stealthily glancing at Bai Guo.

Both Qin Yan and Li Xinlan kept calm.

They knew that the fight wouldn’t ignite due to the confines of the room.

“Holy crap.

Who are these people?” The noncombatants in the room were all scared, especially the prostitutes, the university student couple, and the sleepwear mistress.

The man masquerading as a cop peeked and then pretended to faint.

In comparison to these girls who could handle the M4A1, him flexing with a mere pistol was pathetic.

The pudgy man looked extremely uncomfortable.

They were the kind of people who highly valued their own lives but now, anyone in the room could take it.

He felt very uneasy.

It was fortunate that he hadn’t brandished his big magnum and made a scene.

His eyes quickly signaled his bodyguard not to take rash action.

The hulking man sighed.

Even if his boss ordered him to attack, he wouldn’t dare to.

The military precision with which the young woman handled the firearm was better than some soldiers.

Bai Guo was quite satisfied to see that she had managed to intimidate everyone.

After all, she took three days off work to practice her shooting.

Although she had learned sharpshooting skills from the Trojan program, it only showed her how to handle any firearm.

If she wanted to be a sharpshooter, she needed to rely heavily on practice.

“Huh, a 92’s parts?

I’ve been wanting to assemble one for a while.” Lin Weiguo squatted down.

When he stood back up, he had a completely assembled 92 handgun in his hand.

Aiming straight at Zhang Hao, he cocked the gun.

It took less than two seconds.

“Aren’t I a conqueror, too?

Aren’t I worth following?” Zhang Hao was painfully ignored.

“In what way am I inferior to that kid?

In the last round, I scored 3700 points and got an A-grade evaluation.

I was the first one to return.”

“Tang Zheng got 4900 points.

S-grade evaluation,” replied Bai Guo, completely unfazed.

“Only 3700 points?

That’s embarrassing.”

“And just as an aside, Tang Zheng scored 4500 points in his first round, which is still more than you,” Pang Meiqin continued the revelation.

Zhang Hao’s face twitched, a large vein popped on his forehead, he barely held back his rage.

The newcomers were confused.

Although they didn’t fully understand, they could tell from Zhang Hao’s bitter and miserable expression that he had been completely outclassed, and not by a small margin either.

“You must be thinking that since Huang Ya is dead and we’re not conquerors, you can act without any regard?

Just so you know, I’m the one who killed him,” Tang Zheng spoke up, not paying any attention to Zhang Hao.

Instead, he was observing the new arrivals, noting their demeanor and movements.

His gaze inevitably drifted towards Bai Guo’s chest, which was becoming more prominent due to her shooting stance and the tight protective clothing she wore; it was quite the attention grabber.

“You killed him?

Impossible!” Zhang Hao was stunned and immediately disbelieving.

“You don’t have any allies here, aren’t you afraid that someone might stab you in the back?”

Upon hearing Tang Zheng’s words, Li Xinlan chuckled.

He was as treacherously clever as always, reminding the newcomers that they had an opportunity for revenge.

As expected, the newcomers’ gaze towards Zhang Hao changed.

Zhang Hao’s expression remained unchanging, his eyes darting around the room.

He was feeling insecure.

Indeed, without anyone watching his back, it was highly likely someone might catch him off guard.

The thought of having to stay wary during combat wore him down before it even started.

If he had known earlier, he would have brought Jiaojiao back with him.

“Sister Shangwu, whose side are you on?” Zhang Hao asked tentatively, using a respectful tone.

“Zhang Hao, you held back for so long before making a move on Huang Ya, and you didn’t even dare to fight him head-on.

I’m so disappointed in you.” Yin Shangwu had no interest in him at all.

Her goal was to foster him and see if there was potential for him to become her subordinate.

“At your level, any Conqueror could easily match you.

You’re too mediocre.”

Hearing this evaluation, Zhang Hao’s face turned so black that it seemed like it could squeeze out water.

Yet, he didn’t dare to lash out at Yin Shangwu.

Instead, he locked onto the trigger and opened up with a wave of gunfire towards the newbies.

The room instantly became a chaotic mess with people flying and shouting everywhere.

However, Tang Zheng and his team did not move.

Even Pang Meiqin stayed remarkably composed while watching the newbies’ embarrassing status.

In particular, seeing her ex-classmate lying on the ground like a quail, her sleepwear slipping off and revealing a lace underwear-clad butt, she found it hilarious.

“Right, let’s take some pictures for ridiculing her later.” Peng Meiqin pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket and snapped several photos.

“Let him vent.

He won’t dare to kill anyone anyway.

Everyone, quickly check your gear.

It’s been five minutes.

The game is about to start.” Tang Zheng was initially planning to save this little girl, but when he turned around, she was already standing behind him, gripping the hem of his sportswear with an anxious and frightened expression on her little face.

When she saw him looking back at her, the little loli pouted, and tears started to stream down her face, but she didn’t make a sound.

“Good girl, don’t be afraid.” Tang Zheng gently patted her head,

“Uncle, Fanfan isn’t scared.” The little girl wiped away her tears and bravely squeezed out a smiling face.

This action made her look enlightened.

“Wow, a cute and healing loli.” Bai Guo raced over, wanting to pinch the girl’s cheeks.

However, the little loli dodged and hid behind Tang Zheng’s thigh.

“Sister, Fanfan’s face is soft, it can’t be pinched.” The little loli hesitated for a moment and then came out.

“Alright, you can pinch it.”

“So cute.” Bai Guo squatted down and hugged the little girl.

The four stewardesses’ gear were pretty simple, just taking out their guns and adding clips and carrying tools.

As expected of a soldier, Lin Weiguo wore a piece of protective clothing underneath and thus, he just needed to wear an urban camouflage combat suit on the outside.

He didn’t wear a bulletproof vest.

Leg gun holster, carrying tool, and Kavlar combat helmet were all present.

“Isn’t this a bit overkill?” Pang Meiqin glanced at her rifle and grumbled.

“If I weren’t afraid of Silver Trojan imposing another equipment restriction, I would wear even more.

Caution is the parent of safety.” Lin Weiguo began to meticulously inspect his firearms.

“I never dare to fiddle with these things at home, fearing that my wife would discover them.

Look, Tang Zheng is more cautious than me.

He actually wore two sets of combat suits.

However, I think your jungle camouflage might not come in handy.

After all, the last round was ‘Island Crisis’.”

“They’re just backup equipment.

Also, I couldn’t get my hands on a high-resolution military telescope in reality.

I’ll spend some points to buy one next time.” Tang Zheng’s gear was no less than Lin Weiguo’s.

Apart from the carrying tools, he strapped a leg gun holster on his right leg, placed a knife holder next to it, hung three grenades on each of his shoulder, then held a desert-colored helmet and took out seven sets of communication equipment to distribute to everyone.

“Everyone, put these on and let Weiguo teach you how to use them.”

Zhang Hao, having vented his frustrations, was sitting on the floor, watching Tang Zheng and his team prepare while laughing and chatting amongst themselves.

He suddenly felt very lonely.

Did he really make the wrong move?

“Zhang Hao, catch.” Tang Zheng threw a set of communicators towards him, not caring about his startled gaze as he walked towards Little Fanfan.

Silver Trojan actually involved children in this.

Wasn’t this forcing her to die again?

“You’re not thinking about protecting her, are you?

I advise you to give up sooner.

Going by Trojan’s behavior, given how easy the last round was, this one is bound to be a big scene.” Zhang Hao placed the earpiece on and didn’t understand why he had said that.

Those newcomers who were scared earlier, upon realizing that they were no longer in danger, suddenly found themselves isolated.

Nobody paid any attention to them.

After exchanging glances with each other, the man with the wrench decisively stood up to negotiate.

“Is this…are we going to war?” The man with the wrench looked at Tang Zheng and asked proactively.

His usual broad-mindedness was gone.

It was not unexpected.

Anyone seeing a group of ordinary people suddenly brandishing firearms and preparing to rush to the battlefield would feel afraid.

“Did Tang Zheng guess this would happen earlier?” Pang Meiqin murmured to Li Xinlan.

She was just wondering why Tang Zheng didn’t take action to subdue these people, and then they surprisingly came to him instead.

“He must have.” Bai Guo chimed in, even though she didn’t know the reason either.

Generally, people who are brought to unfamiliar places will unconsciously protect themselves and will only believe two things that others say.

If Tang Zheng proactively explained the reasons, he would surely be laughed at, as nobody would believe it without experiencing these things.

Only by feeling that they are ignored and isolated will they actively seek answers and try to believe them.

Zhang Hao noticing that not only the man with the wrench but also other newcomers were staring at Tang Zheng, felt a sense of defeat.
