Chapter 204: Red Eyes

When the explosion occurred, Zhang Xiao Qiang was wielding the Jing Wei Blade and protecting Shangguan Qiao Yun who was at the entrance of the watchtower.

Lunatic Guo Fei stood at the steel doors and killed the rats with his long handle blade with joy. The shockwave from the explosion caused two of them, while Zhang Xiao Qiang was quickly pulled up by Shangguan Qiao Yun, Guo Fei was flung to a pile of dead rats. When he finally stood up in a daze, a half-dead rat struggled on his shoulder. He grabbed its tail and threw it to the ground, then stomp it to death.

Zhang Xiao Qiang did not care about him, he knew of Guo Fei's character, aside from killing, his only otherwise was to find a hole to bury himself in. He did not need care or concern, the only thing he needed was to kill until he was killed.

Such people are easy to control, they had a unique naivety to them, did not have many thoughts or concern towards other things like power, women, enjoyment etc. They had already gone through the despair of life and the only thing that could satisfy them were the only thing they want. Therefore, they make the most loyal cannon fodder.

Originally, Guo Fei wanted to kill Zhang Xiao Qiang, but Zhang Xiao Qiang still thought to bring him in as a subordinate. When battling with him, Zhang Xiao Qiang immediately realized that Guo Fei was purely trying to seek ways to die, for a person to even ignore the dangers placed on his life, why would he care about the minor setbacks?

But aside from seeking his own death, Guo Fei had his own bottom line. For one, he never thought about suicide. It was only after the negotiation breakdown that which he took action. That proved he was not completely crazy, he knew the benefits of being in a group, thus Zhang Xiao Qiang thought to bring him to his side.

The aftermath of the explosion was intense. The highly explosive warhead produced a shockwave that cleansed all the rat corpses littered all around. The ground that was initially covered completely with the rat corpses or the thorns shot by the porcupine-like creature was completely empty after the explosion. The shockwave had pushed everything to the feet of the walls.

The tunnel that emitted smoke became extremely obvious to Zhang Xiao Qiang. Because of the tunnel, his entire team was almost decimated. Wang Chong, who Zhang Xiao Qiang saw as moving blood bag, was the one who displayed the most dazzling display at the most crucial moment.

The faint prick in his heart reminded Zhang Xiao Qiang that the bespectacled Wang Chong was gone. When he saw Wang Chong carrying the warhead, he immediately knew what he had thought to do.

Zhang Xiao Qiang did not stop him, he had to consider Shangguan Qiao Yun who was behind him, he had to consider the ten over members beside who aided him, he had to consider the brothers on the watchtower. Most importantly, Zhang Xiao Qiang was afraid of dying.

As long as there was a thread of hope, he wished to continue living. When Wang Chong ran out towards the rat tide, Zhang Xiao Qiang pulled the people beside him back to the watchtower. After the explosion, he was alive, the rest were alive, but none of them were happy at all. Wang Chong had died. He had sacrificed himself for them.

"What're you guys staring blankly at? Reform the perimeter line, Three, hand me the heavy machine gun…."

Zhang Xiao Qiang shouted and broke the survivors' thoughts on Wang Chong. The gun fires of a Type-81 rifle and Type-53 HMG sounded out again. Zhang Xiao Qiang carried two highly explosives warheads and threw them down the tunnel, then told the people behind him: "Prepare the battalion gun for me, I want to break this wall…"

A few of the combat team members clumsily deployed the Type-92 Battalion gun and aimed the barrel to the wall above the tunnel entrance.

"BOOM….." The shrapnel and shockwave produced from the close range explosive caused the HMG on the watchtower to cease fire for a moment, a few of the ammunition crate defense was blown apart by the shrapnel.

Behind the gun, Zhang Xiao Qiang felt a large tremor from the ground, then a hot shockwave blew past from the front of the battalion gun. When the smoke dissipated, a few cracks could be seen on the thick wall.

During the construction of the prison walls, the designers had considered being sieged by explosives, so they did not spare anything and built the walls to their maximum capabilities. The kinetic energy produced by the highly explosive warheads was still far from being able to punch through the wall. Zhang Xiao Qiang loaded another warhead and aimed at the same spot. At the same time, the guns on the watchtower aimed straight for the tunnel.

The warheads at the tunnel entrance tore the rats to pieces. Pelts and flesh flew all around. Three was ashamed of not being the first to react when the tunnel first appeared. When he saw the unimportant person running out with the warhead in hand to suicide at the most crucial moment, his heart felt extreme guilt.

If he had discovered it right from the start, he would have used the automatic rifles to fire at the tunnel and would have prevented them from being caught unprepared, resulting in them treading on the line of life and death. He shouted and gave orders to the members below, focusing all of their firepowers on the tunnel entrance, wanting to once again suppress the rats that were popping out.


"Rumble…."

Two dazzling fiery beams converged into one large rumble as the tunnel entrance suddenly exploded, producing countless of soil and dirt to be flung into the sky. Another flaming shockwave also appeared outside of the wall as countless of rats were thrown into the sky.

The mountain of rats squirming outside quickly caved in. As the jet black smoke dissipated, the tunnel that could originally fit one person doubled in size, and a hole had exploded on the wall, with countless of spider web-like cracks all around it.

"HMG….aim at that hole…."

Following Three's orders, the machine gunners removed the bunker covers around them and all aimed at the cracked wall with their guns and fired.

The power of two warheads caused everyone on the ground to roll on the floor. By the time they shook off the daze and stood up, the machine gunners on the watchtower were already firing.

Seeing the hole in the wall, Zhang Xiao Qiang got everyone to focus on it.

"Booom…." The beautiful flames and smoke on the hole caused a large explosion.

A heatwave was ignited and assaulted everyone's nostrils, causing them to choke. Zhang Xiao Qiang immediately loaded the second warhead into the battalion gun.

"BOOM….." a loud rumble sounded out along with black smoke.

"BANG…" This time, there were no explosion or shockwave, just a rain of blood and countless rat limbs dropping from the sky.

"Whooosh…." Dust soared up into the sky, as soil and mud dropped down onto everyone's helmets.
