195: Chapter 22 Unexpected Reduction in Numbers 195: Chapter 22 Unexpected Reduction in Numbers The pungent smoke from the grenade hadn’t cleared yet when dozens of aliens sprang forward from the shattered glass scattered all over the floor of the lobby, pouncing towards the bus.

“Bunch of idiots, throw grenades!” Just onto the bus and not even situated yet, Lin Weiguo watched the chaos unfold and couldn’t help but curse out loud.

With that, he raised his gun and blasted through the huge glass window behind the bus, grabbing one of the grenades hanging from his body, and tossing it out after pulling the pin.

Wrench Man and Zhang Yifeng, standing at the back, immediately cursed.

They instantly felt less secure after losing the protection of the chunk of glass.

With a ping, the pin was ejected due to the spring tension and the grenade rolled out, tumbling end over end on the ground.

It exploded right in front of the pursuing aliens after three seconds.

Boom, the blast wave instantly overturned three or four of the aliens.

“You’re crazy!

How are we going to protect ourselves from the acid with a hole in the bus?” The second-in-command poacher yelled, instinctively preparing to run towards the front of the bus.

Tang Zheng quickly drew his folding knife and cut the strips of blanket binding his sister.

He stood up, cradling his rifle, and rushed forward, just in time to encounter the retreating second-in-command.

Without a word, he swung the butt of his gun and smashed it into the guy’s face.

“Fucks sake.” The second-in-command’s face was ferocious when he saw Tang Zheng blocking his way.

After cursing, he too raised his gun in an attempt to resist.

He didn’t want to end up like the third guy, torn apart by the aliens.

He just wanted to escape and let someone else play the decoy.

Unfortunately for him, he underestimated Tang Zheng’s speed and strength.

Plus, the Thunderstorm assault rifle was considered a semi-heavy weapon.

Whilst it wasn’t hefty, it was still made of solid metal, so when its butt hit his face, it distorted and deformed his entire face, almost knocking his eyeballs out.

“Number Two.” Scarface shouted once, watching helplessly as his brother toppled to the floor.

More than a dozen of his yellow teeth, mixed with blood and saliva, fell onto the ground with clinking sounds.

However, he was still a cunning man, and he knew that infighting at this moment would only lead to them all dying.

They were still being pursued by a large group of aliens.

“Tang Zheng, let him go, please.” While continuing to fight the aliens, Scarface pleaded.

He could tell that Tang Zheng truly intended to harm the second-in-command.

He understood that anytime anyone encountered a group of incompetent teammates like these, they’d be enraged.

Their target was the girl all along, it wasn’t their place to let her take the lead in battle and then retreat amidst the fight.

It was only natural that she would retaliate.

Unfortunately, Scarface was too late.

Tang Zheng’s attacks were consecutive.

By the time the second-in-command fell on his knee, he wasn’t even in a position to shoot.

His vision blurred, and before he knew it, a foot had punted him in the face.

With a clang, he fell backwards onto the seat, not even managing to groan before passing out.

“You all can die if you want, just don’t drag me down with you.” Tang Zheng shot at the aliens, his strong gunfire easing the tense situation slightly.

Chikashima Airi, however, was standing in the front of the bus, startled by the sudden ferocity of Tang Zheng.

Seeing the fate of the man on the floor, Airi realized that this group was not united after all.

It appeared that only Tang Zheng could be trusted.

“You think a piece of broken glass is going to do anything.” Lin Weiguo didn’t expect Scarface’s second-in-command to actually want to kill Tang Zheng.

He was caught off guard, but while he remained wary of Scarface, he also yelled out, “Kill him.”

“No.” Scarface begged, “I can talk to him.

I can persuade him.”

Zhang Yifeng and Wrench Man kept quiet.

What they had originally wanted to complain about Fanfan using a handgun to threaten them was swallowed back down into their bellies.

Zhang Hao, however, was delighted by the spectacle.

After stealing a glance at Chikashima Airi, he felt a lot more reassured.

He was confident in being able to protect the girl.

“She’s quite attractive, based on her appearance and legs, she seems like she might be a virgin.

Maybe I’ll try last to make a move on her.” Thought Zhang Hao as he began to scope out the Japanese girl during the fight.

Chikashima Airi noticed the strong, muscular man sneaking peeks at her, and after one look, she didn’t care anymore.

Her gaze returned to Tang Zheng’s body.

Of course, she didn’t forget to hold her sleeping sister in her arms.

“Damn.” Zhang Hao was irked.

It seemed like Tang Zheng had the upper hand again, “Just shoot.

Wasting your bullets and your energy.”

Zhang Hao seemed to have a bit of brain, slowly easing up his shooting frequency so as not to be noticed.

“I’m going to change directions now, hold on tight.” Pang Meiqin yelled out.

Her sophisticated driving skills honed for escape and the ‘F1 Racing God’ ability which cost her 100 points were finally put to good use.

With a quick stop, turn, and accelerated sprint, she managed to shake off half of the attacking aliens.

In the screeching sound of rubber tires, the people inside the bus were thrown around.

Only Tang Zheng, Zhang Hao, Lin Weiguo, and Scarface reacted fast enough to grab hold of something.

But they were left with no proper shooting angle.

In that moment, the second casualty appeared.

Wrench Man wasn’t used to his severed right hand yet.

Instinctively, he reached out to grab the seat, but only met air.

The inertia from the sharp turn propelled him towards the back window where an alien was ready to pounce.

Wrench Man managed to evade the creature’s claws by a whisker, but he was fully sprayed with strong acid.

His head didn’t have the protective clothing on and was instantly corroded by the acid, giving off a burnt smell.

His piercing screams filled the bus.

When the bus steadied once more, Wrench Man lay on the back bench, already devoid of breath.

“What are you doing?

Shoot.” Lin Weiguo rushed over to him and kicked him off the bus to continue aiming at the alien group that was about ten meters away.

“Tang Zheng, I ran people over.” The face of Pang Meiqin was now pale white.

There are several patients forced asleep on the road in front the hospital, and as the bus drove over them, it spilled their insides gruesomely.
