#63 - The decisive moment, the last hour!

Chapter 63: Decisive Moment, The Final Hour!

Zhao Zheng led Song Haitang to the western district.

The two didn't try using the chimes again to see if they could attract monsters.

Although the flowers and plants had long withered, leaving a barren landscape, some of the garden's furnishings, like artificial mountains and pavilions, still remained.

Coupled with the bright moonlight, the scenery looked quite nice.

Most importantly.

The houses surrounding this mansion were all relatively low-rise residential buildings, and because they had been unattended for many years, countless of them had collapsed, making it difficult to hide…

Song Haitang immediately saw Zhao Zheng's intention.

"Zhao Zheng, did you choose this place to wait for those people to come to our door?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "After we left that mansion, they will definitely check the situation. Seeing that we killed so many monsters and accumulated a large amount of task progress, do you think they can resist the temptation?"

"So, no matter where we are, as long as they are consumed by greed, they will come looking for us."

"Since a fight is inevitable, I definitely have to choose terrain that is advantageous to us."

These words silenced Song Haitang.

The girl knew that Zhao Zheng was absolutely right.

"Of course, it would be even better if they don't come to bother us!"

…

Zhao Zheng's guess was completely correct.

Not long after he and Song Haitang left, someone couldn't help but run to the mansion to check the situation.

The first team to check the situation was Tom Hardis's team.

When the four walked into the northern courtyard and saw the scene inside that resembled a Shura purgatory, they were immediately shocked.

"Holy crab! How many monsters did they kill?"

"This is unbelievable."

"Damn it! I want to know how they did it?"

Except for Captain Tom, the other three exclaimed in surprise.

Especially the black guy, who was the most exaggerated, constantly making strange noises.

Through some investigation, they were misled by the scene Zhao Zheng had set up and came to what they thought was the correct conclusion.

"I think I've found the answer!"

A young white man pointed to the entrance of the martial arts field and analyzed seriously, "This strange building has very sturdy walls. They must have been hiding inside, using the terrain to kill so many monsters!"

"Guys, look here. These monsters have burn marks on their bodies. It must be Song's work."

The black guy and another fat white guy nodded repeatedly.

Only Captain Tom didn't express his opinion.

This guy seemed to be a taciturn person who liked to remain silent.

"Looking at the corpses on the scene, they killed at least a thousand monsters?"

The black guy's eyes lit up when he said this, "If we can kill them and seize their task progress, even if it's only half, it will definitely be a great harvest!"

"At least it will allow us to obtain a task evaluation exceeding S-level!!"

Exceeding S-level.

That would be SS-level, or even SSS perfect level.

As soon as this was said.

The young white man and the fat white man became excited.

Even Captain Tom was tempted.

However, Captain Tom was more rational and said, "That woman can kill so many monsters, which means her strength is more powerful than we imagined. To deal with her, we need helpers!"

"Captain Tom, I have a different opinion." The young white man said, "Precisely because they killed so many monsters, their physical strength and energy must have been greatly depleted. Maybe they are at their weakest moment now."

Tom's face turned cold, and he said unceremoniously, "Idiot! Open your eyes and see clearly. There are thousands of monster corpses here. Do you think that without the means to replenish their physical strength and energy, they could kill so many monsters in a short period of time?"

This made a lot of sense.

Everyone was a newbie, and of course they knew that even killing thousands of pigs would consume unimaginable amounts of physical strength.

And among the extraordinary items, there were indeed tools that could replenish the energy consumed by superhumans in a short period of time.

Therefore, Captain Tom guessed that Song Haitang must have similar replenishment tools to support them in completing such a feat.

The young white man's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to refute.

On the one hand, he knew that what the captain said made sense.

The other was that he was a little afraid of Tom…

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the black guy pointed outside and said, "There are many newcomers outside now. We can promise them some benefits and let those idiots assist us in killing that Song!"

This suggestion was considered safe.

However.

Captain Tom was more cautious. He always felt that Song Haitang was not simple, so he said, "This is the last option!"

The three teammates were stunned.

The black guy immediately asked, "Tom, what are we doing now?"

"Go hunt monsters first!" Tom said, "If we can kill enough monsters, we will give up the plan to hunt Song."

"Why?" The black guy was puzzled, "Hunting enough monsters is no less risky than hunting that woman."

Tom said lightly, "Because my intuition tells me that Song is more dangerous than we imagined!"

…

Time always slips away unnoticed.

Eight hours passed quickly.

Including the previous hour, there was only one hour left until the end of the mission.

In the mansion in the western district.

Zhao Zheng looked around and still didn't find any figures, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Seeing this, Song Haitang's pretty face showed a hint of a smile.

"They might not come."

If possible, the girl didn't want those people to come and die.

Because that would make her and Zhao Zheng's hands stained with blood…

"Haitang, you underestimate people's greed!"

Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "We can't make such a conclusion until the last moment."

Song Haitang thought for a while and said, "Although you disguised the scene a bit before, there are still many places where doubts can be seen. Maybe they were scared?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "People will make wrong judgments under the influence of greed. And… Haitang, don't forget, the moon in the sky has been affecting us."

"To take a step back, even if they see the doubts, they might choose to take a risk for the sake of the task evaluation."

"I still stick to my opinion, unless they have killed enough monsters, otherwise, they will definitely come!"

…

At the same time.

In a residential house hundreds of meters away from the mansion, dozens of superhumans were gathered.

And their goal in gathering here was Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang!
