202: Chapter 27 The Battle of the Door 202: Chapter 27 The Battle of the Door “Kobayakawa, where is your seat?

I’ll walk you back,” Tang Zheng suggested subtly during the break in his conversation with Pang Meiqin.

“Everyone is tired and needs some sleep.”

If the policewoman were around and everyone was on guard with their weapons, she could easily tell and it could cause unnecessary trouble.

“Alright, see you,” The language barrier left no room for conversation.

Kobayakawa was mainly interested in Tang Zheng.

Although she was rather careless, she could sense the somber mood and therefore excused herself.

“Stay safe, make sure you can open fire as quickly as possible.” Tang Zheng quickly added, accompanying Kobayakawa out of the compartment.

“Uncle, this place is fine.” Little Fan Fan didn’t dare to wander too far this time.

After opening the toilet door for the little loli in the aisle, Tang Zheng fell silent.

Not speaking was the best excuse indeed, as expected, Kobayakawa gave a look that suggested she wanted to say something but didn’t.

She sighed, waved goodbye, and left.

“Has the policewoman gone?” Little Fan Fan came out and wiped the droplets off her hands with a paper towel.

She then dumped the towel in the trash and complained, “The washstand is too high, totally not taking into account the height of children!”

“Kids usually have their parents accompanying them, so it wouldn’t matter if it were lower,” Tang Zheng replied casually, not looking at Kobayakawa’s buttocks wrapped in uniform skirt anymore.

“Oh,” The little loli was quiet for a second, then looked at Tang Zheng with a sad face and asked, “So why didn’t you come in with me?”

“Cough, cough,” Tang Zheng almost choked on his saliva and laughed, “If I did that, I would be arrested by the police for being a lolicon.”

“What’s a lolicon?” Little Fan Fan asked cheerfully, her face full of curiosity.

However, Tang Zheng was sure she knew the answer.

“Why do you keep calling me uncle?” Tang Zheng stroked his chin, “Do I look that old?”

“I thought adults all like to play the role of creepy uncles and you liked being called that?” Little Fan Fan pinched the hem of her dress and looked down, shy.

“Let’s go home,” Tang Zheng picked up Little Fan Fan.

After they’d walked a few steps, the little loli dropped another bombshell.

“Uncle, you smell like a woman.” The little loli sniffed near Tang Zheng’s neck and then frowned, “It should be Aunt Xin Lan.”

Tang Zheng was speechless.

She could tell?

Was ‘smelling scents’ a talent that females were born with?

That was seriously intense.

“Don’t worry, uncle, I won’t tell anyone else.” Little Fan Fan finished talking, rubbed her cheek against Tang Zheng’s neck a few times, and then started wriggling around.

“Achoo!

What was that?” A piece of black hair tickled Tang Zheng’s nose, making him sneeze.

Then he patted the loli’s buttocks, “Stop fooling around.”

“Little Fan Fan wasn’t fooling around.

I was trying to give you my scent so that other women won’t notice.” Little Lu Fan looked wronged, pouted, and seemed on the verge of tears.

“My apologies, that was my fault,” Tang Zheng sighed.

Kids these days were tricky to handle.

When the two returned to their seats, nothing had happened, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

At this point, they had covered two thirds of their journey.

Due to staying alert the whole time, everyone was exceptionally tired.

“Everyone get some rest, I’ll stay on lookout,” Tang Zheng took out the Thunderstorm rifle and started wiping it with a piece of cloth, familiarizing himself with every detail and increasing its manoeuvrability.

Li Xinlan offered to help but was turned down by Tang Zheng.

After Bai Guo adjusted Little Fan Fan’s head to a more comfortable position on her thigh, she began to clean her Y-GUN, her expression serious to the extreme.

Tang Zheng checked his Meteorite Wristwatch.

Even though he couldn’t buy props during the game, he could still view them.

Surprisingly, a set of Iron Man’s armor was just a Level A prop, worth 3000 points plus one Golden Seed.

This was much cheaper than buying a Hero Card.

When Tang Zheng wanted to see what S-grade or above props were available, his access was denied due to insufficient authorization.

This nearly made him explode with anger.

“I hope we don’t run into any tough characters with SS props, and I hope this isn’t a team battle,” Tang mumbled as another quiet hour passed.

The speakers in the carriage finally announced the arrival of the next station.

“Pretty lucky, seems like we’ve managed to avoid any trouble,” Pang Meiqin rubbed her face as she woke up and suggested, “After we find Uesugi Runa, let’s all go to Hakone-Yumoto, a hot spring in Kanagawa, okay?

It’s a famous spot for hot springs and they say there are mixed-gender baths!”

“Really?” Zhang Hao’s eyes lit up, his voice full of intrigued lechery as he asked his question.

“Stay on guard.” Tang Zheng said grimly, rising to his feet.

He scanned the passageways running along either side of the carriage, then diverted his gaze to the passengers who were retrieving their luggage from the overhead racks, preparing to alight from the train.

“Aren’t you being a little paranoid?

If the aliens were going to attack, they wouldn’t have waited until now, and look, we’re about to arrive at the station and get off.

There’s simply no time.” Zhang Yifeng grabbed his mountaineering bag and gestured to the platform outside the window.

His words eased the minds of the others, but an unforeseen change suddenly occurred.

The passengers in the carriage began to burst open, and facehuggers emerged from their bellies, emitting a whirring sound as they sprang towards Tang Zheng and his gang, filling the air with a spray of flesh and blood.

Cursing himself for his complacency, Tang Zheng quickly picked up his thunderstorm rifle and opened fire.

The facehuggers, however, were small and nimble, making them very difficult to hit.

Li Xinlan and the other members of the group fumbled as they tried to grab their weapons.

Before they could do anything, the facehuggers had already closed in on them.

“Don’t panic, steady yourselves.

Ai Li, crouch down.

Little Fan Fan, get over here.” Tang Zheng bellowed, in time for Little Lolita to leap onto the rear seat.

He leaned back to create as much room as possible, reducing the area the facehuggers could reach.

Bai Guo stood on the other side, opening fire with a steady hand.

Due to the close proximity, their guns were nearly useless.

Tang Zheng gritted his teeth, dropped his rifle, and drew his bronze sword, using it to slice an oncoming facehugger in half.

“Stop firing!” A stream of bullets whizzed past Zhang Yifeng, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

He quickly shouted a warning.

Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan were already wrestling with their attackers, but the onslaught of almost a hundred facehuggers was not yet over.

More pedestrians flooded into the passageways on either side, shedding their human forms, revealing the aliens they truly were.

Tang Zheng was the first to act, picking up his rifle and firing a barrage of thunderstorm bullets at the nearest right-hand passage.

“Zhang Hao, old Lin, block the door, everyone else kill the facehuggers.” Tang Zheng quickly issued orders, “Don’t worry about the ones clinging to your body; prioritize those about to leap on your faces.”

Using himself as a human shield for Ai Li, Tang Zheng had seven or eight facehuggers crawl up his arm and thigh.

They oozed acid from their mouths.

If not for his protective clothing, the acid would’ve surely burned through his skin.

The others were not faring any better, with two or three of the creatures crawling on each of them.

This was when you could tell who was brave and who wasn’t.

Zhang Yifeng, Hu Meng, and Pang Meiqin paid no attention to Tang Zheng’s orders.

Their only concern was pulling off the facehuggers stuck to their bodies.

At least Zhang Hao was a conqueror, and he had some semblance of dignity.

Amidst the gunfire, he and Lin Weiguo suppressed the aliens’ advance.

“Whoever fires randomly, I will kill them first,” Tang Zheng roared.

Bullets whizzed chaotically around the carriage, and several people had already been shot.

Luckily, everyone wore protective clothing; otherwise, they’d definitely have been gunned down.

But Ai Li wasn’t wearing any protection…

And though her firefly armor wouldn’t be penetrated by bullets, Tang Zheng didn’t want to get shot either.

“Use your handgun.

Press it against the bodies of the facehuggers clinging to you and then shoot.

What are you afraid of?

Stop panicking and running around.” Upon seeing those idiots wildly firing their guns and achieving no kills, Tang Zheng got angry.

His original plan was to face the alien attack head-on and block the passages connecting the carriages, but he never expected the enemy to send out facehuggers first.

These agile creatures tumbled around them, messing up their formation.

“Are you insane?

I don’t want to die,” Zhang Yifeng started to protest but silenced himself when he saw Tang Zheng glower at him threateningly.

Ultimately, he didn’t follow the order.

Shooting at his own body?

He didn’t have the courage.

What if he made a mistake?

“Good idea.” Zhang Hao agreed with Tang Zheng for the first time.

Once a facehugger latched onto them, it lost its agility, making it the perfect opportunity to kill them.

“Bai Guo, kill the facehuggers on me.

Careful not to get sprayed with acid.” Tang Zheng took two steps forward.

Just as Bai Guo was about to fire, there was already a loud bang.

A facehugger had been killed, falling off Tang Zheng’s body.

Little Fan Fan had a solemn expression, not caring about the acid drops corroding her clothes.

She held her smoking M1911 gun, aimed at her target, and pulled the trigger.

The echoes of her handgun, coupled with the death shrieks of the aliens, penetrated everyone’s ears.

Zhang Yifeng and Hu Meng hung their heads in shame – they were less composed than a little girl.

“Change clip.” Lin Weiguo shouted military jargon when his bullet chain ran out of bullets, hoping Bai Guo, who had a stronger weapon, could help suppress the aliens.

But the silly girl didn’t understand these things.

“Bai Guo, fire at the aliens in the right passage.” Tang Zheng held his gun in one hand, and with his other hand backstretched, grabbed the wooden board serving as a table.

With a pull, it splintered off, and he handed it to Ai Li, “Avoid being sprayed by the acid.”

“Zhang Hao, you idiot, can’t you coordinate with me?

Don’t just care about your own firing.” Old Lin was itching with irritation.

But recalling that these were not his former comrades but just novices, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Good thing there was Tang Zheng, else the mistake just now could’ve allowed the aliens to take advantage and break through the blockade.

“Bai Guo, help me suppress the aliens.” Tang Zheng also needed to change his clip.

To have emptied a clip worth two points in less than a minute had him distressed over the waste.

It was all the fault of these useless teammates.

But at least they managed to suppress the alien attack.

Seeing the broken bodies scattered in the passageways, pile to a height of a person, Tang Zheng managed a satisfied smile.

Two minutes later, on the verge of emptying his third clip, all the mature body aliens had been slaughtered.

All that remained were facehuggers scampering around inside the carriage and those stuck to people’s bodies.

Tang Zheng had the best protective clothing, which made him the most relaxed among the group.

This led Zhang Hao to be envious and spiteful.

Through the holes in the sportswear, he could see Tang Zheng’s firefly protective clothing underneath.(To be continued.
