175: Chapter 175 The Rampage Girl Group!
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—!
The ghostly blue muzzle flashes danced wildly, illuminating the criminal night sky of Blackgold Harbor.
This wasn't a battle.
This was a one-sided industrial harvest.
What spewed from the Shadow Gatling wasn't metal bullets at all, but highly compressed Shadow Power.
Each shot carried the dual effects of corrosion and penetration, leaving no whole bodies behind—only puffs of black smoke.
"Aaaaaah!"
The hundred-strong group that had just been clamoring to tear Chen Du to pieces instantly fell like a wheat field mowed by a harvester, collapsing in neat rows.
Some had even hidden behind bulletproof SUVs, only to be blasted into swiss cheese along with their vehicles.
"Is this Shadow Power?"
Several spies from distant factions hiding in the shadows were too terrified to approach, their scalps tingling.
"What the hell kind of shadow system is this?! Whose shadow system can turn into a gatling gun? This is clearly a mobile arsenal!"
"Madman... With this kind of firepower coverage, even the military would kneel!"
In just half a minute.
Of the hundred-plus small fry, only about twenty elites remained standing.
Chen Du reluctantly released the trigger.
The Shadow Gatling slowly dissipated, turning into wisps of black smoke that retreated beneath his feet.
He flicked the ash from his cigarette, looking at the small group of terrified elite monsters opposite him.
Lazily turning his head, he said, "The small fry are cleared."
As soon as the words fell.
"Yay! It's finally my turn to shine!"
Lin Keke squealed excitedly.
Her heterochromatic eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of light enveloped her.
Her student uniform vanished, replaced by a red-and-gold form-fitting battle armor.
She held a Lasso of Truth and wore a Starlight Crown.
[Old Dreamer · Limited Skin: Valkyrie]!
"Tremble, mortals!"
Lin Keke struck a superhero landing pose, looking incredibly cool.
The next second.
She pulled out a wooden totem pole and slammed it into the ground.
Hum—!
A circle of gray ripples spread out.
[Slow Totem] activated!
Thunder Shock and the others, who had intended to retreat temporarily, moved as if in 0.5x speed, struggling even to lift their legs.
"Damn it! Why is my body so heavy?" Thunder Shock roared in terror. "Defend! Hold the line!"
He erupted with lightning, trying to form a Thunder Armor to withstand the attack.
However.
A crisp twang of a bowstring pierced the air.
Xia Xin stood on the steps, her Recurve Bow drawn full like a full moon.
This arrow wasn't an ordinary one.
The arrowhead carried enough force to pierce metal and shatter stone, accurately slipping through a gap in Thunder Shock's Thunder Armor!
Thud!
"Ugh!"
Thunder Shock screamed as his left shoulder was pierced clean through.
The lightning he had just gathered instantly dissipated.
"Defense? In the face of absolute power, your defense is as laughable as paper!"
A wild figure had already charged to the front.
Tang Ran was like a mother tyrannosaurus unleashed from its cage.
Wearing [Strength Gauntlets], she swung a black iron Spiked Club nearly a meter long with both hands!
"Get down, you bastard—!!"
Boom!!
The Spiked Club whistled through the air, smashing hard onto Thunder Shock's crossed arms.
Crack!
A sickening sound of bone breaking echoed.
Thunder Shock's proud, formidable physique was directly bent and broken by this blow.
He flew backward like a ragged sack, crashing into a roadside shop.
The wall collapsed, sending dust and debris flying.
"Cough... Pfft!"
He vomited blood, his eyes finally showing fear.
Monsters... These women are all monsters!
That woman with the Spiked Club must have Strength stats at the peak of B-rank, maybe even close to A-rank!
"Can you handle it, Baldy?"
A mocking voice came from above.
Xia Lai, clad in the [thug 02] full-body armor, hovered in mid-air.
Ghostly blue exhaust flames sprayed.
She raised her right arm, her palm instantly transforming into an electromagnetic rifle, aiming at the remaining elite bodyguards who still wanted to resist.
"Since you don't want to go down with dignity, I'll help you with that."
Zzzzz—!
An electromagnetic pulse net descended from the sky, electrocuting the remaining dozen or so bodyguards until they foamed at the mouth, twitching on the ground like dead fish.
Dead silence fell over the scene.
Apart from Chen Du's group, not a single enemy remained standing.
Amid the rubble, Thunder Shock struggled to pull out a communicator.
His face covered in blood, he shouted hoarsely, "My lord! Save me! Send someone quickly..."
Tap.
A polished leather shoe stepped on his hand.
With a slight twist.
The communicator turned into useless plastic.
"Calling for backup?"
Chen Du looked down at him, the swirling smoke blurring his cold eyes.
"What era is this? Still playing the game of 'beat the small fry, bring out the old-timers'?"
Thunder Shock looked up.
Meeting a pair of emotionless golden eyes, his heart clenched violently.
It was the look one gives a dead man.
"Don't... don't kill me! I'm from the Sky Dome Chamber of Commerce! My superior is..."
Squelch.
A black horizontal blade pierced Thunder Shock's back without warning, emerging from his chest.
Xia Mo had appeared behind Thunder Shock at some point.
She pulled out the blade, flicked off the blood, and sheathed it.
Her movements flowed like water, as elegant as slicing tofu.
A burst of cold energy erupted!
Thunder Shock's corpse was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, his final expression of terror frozen on his face.
"Too much talk," Xia Mo said calmly.
Thus, the so-called "bully alliance siege" was completely annihilated in less than five minutes.
Only one remained.
Not far away, Wang Ce slumped beside a car wheel.
His pants were soaked through, emitting a nauseating stench.
He watched these women, who had seemed so determined earlier, now walking toward him like demons.
Each step felt like it was stomping on his heartbeat.
"Don't... Young Master Chen! God Du! Don't kill me!"
Wang Ce, his face smeared with snot and tears, desperately tried to crawl under the car. "I have money! All the Wang Family's money is yours! I'll be your dog! Don't kill me, aaaaaah!"
Chen Du stopped.
Not showing the slightest hint of sympathy for his pleas.
"I gave you a chance earlier."
Chen Du said softly, "Since you insisted on paying the bill, you have to watch this play to the end."
He lifted his foot.
And stomped hard on Wang Ce's shinbone.
Crack!
"Aaaaaah—!"
A pig-like scream echoed through the night sky.
Chen Du ignored it, casually snapping his fingers.
A wisp of shadow stuffed itself into Wang Ce's mouth, silencing the screams.
After doing all this, Chen Du finally turned around.
Looking at the armored transport vehicle belonging to Thunder Shock not far away.
"Ye Qiu, open the door."
Ye Qiu nodded, quickly stepping forward and pulling open the heavy compartment door.
A musty smell mixed with sweat hit them.
In the corner of the compartment, four trembling figures huddled together.
They were Liu Ting and the others, who had been bought at a high price by Thunder Shock at the auction earlier.
Seeing the door open, the four girls screamed in terror, thinking they were about to face torture from that perverted bald man.
Until—
Under the streetlight, Liu Ting saw the scene outside clearly.
Corpses littered the ground.
And amidst the sea of bodies, the man in an immaculate white suit stood there, surrounded like a star.
Beside him were Lin Keke in her Wonder Woman battle suit, the violent maniac Tang Ran with her Spiked Club, the mecha girl floating in the air... This sight not only shattered Liu Ting's worldview but also completely crushed her pitiful self-esteem.
In this damn survival game, she had been locked up like a dog, priced and labeled, waiting to be abused by some fat pervert.
But now.
This man outside the door, in his spotless white suit, stood with the arrogant Wang Ce beneath his feet.
A divine and demonic presence.
"Is... is that Xia Xin?"
Liu Ting squinted.
Though her vision was blurry, the woman surrounded like a star was too dazzling.
The Xia family's young lady, the campus beauty, now clung to the white-suited man like an obedient kitten.
And the one with the Spiked Club... wasn't that the sports enthusiast Tang Ran?
All familiar faces? All schoolmates?! Liu Ting's heart raced wildly, her gaze finally focusing on that cold, stern face.
It looked familiar.
Very familiar.
Deep in her memory, it slowly surfaced—it was Chen Du from the nursing department!
The same Chen Du who always kept to himself at school, the invisible man with almost no presence!
"Chen... Chen Du?"
Liu Ting couldn't believe it. "You're Chen Du, right? I'm Liu Ting! I was in the class next to yours..."
She clung to this lifeline, desperately trying to stand up, tears carving two streaks through her dirty face.
"Thank goodness... I knew it... Are you here to save us? We're all classmates..."
Chen Du flicked away his cigarette butt.
He didn't step forward to offer comfort like a romance novel hero.
His eyes were somewhat cold.
"Save?"
He chewed on the word, a playful smile on his lips.
"Get your facts straight, this... classmate."
"Thunder Shock spent three and a half million to buy you. That was a transaction."
He took a step forward, his shadow falling, completely enveloping the four trembling girls.
"You belong to me as spoils of war."
Swish!
Without any further words.
Shadows on the ground quickly transformed into several black blades, cutting the chains on their hands and feet.
Then.
Chen Du turned and walked away.
Leaving them with only an unattainable back.
"If you want to live, follow."
"My ship doesn't carry useless people or freeloaders."
"Whether you can prove your worth... that's up to you."
