Marvel's Death Merchant

"Hey sis! Do you think this is Parisian fashion?" Liu Chendong retorted.

“We have the equipment now,” Anthony rubbed his face and continued, “The next step should be to go to the arena and find some help to escape from here.”

“That’s right!” Francis agreed. “When are we going? Now or tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow then, but,” Anthony turned to look at Liu Chengdong and said, “I can’t bring everyone. Some people might have a relapse.”

“What do you mean? Of course we should take everyone who’s still alive with us!” Liu Chendong shouted. Anthony didn’t answer, but looked around at everyone in the room and said, “It seems all the ladies agree with Mr. Liu.”

“Alright then! I’m out! I’ll be leaving in a bit. Of course, you won’t mind if I take some supplies and weapons, right?” Anthony shrugged.

"You..." Liu Chendong wanted to punch Anthony again, but Francis held him down.

“He’s right,” Francis said gravely. “The best we can do is get out of here. At most, we can add some fighters, but if we take ordinary people with us, we’re doomed. It’s cruel, but it’s the reality.”

“I’ve said it before, I am not my own master, and I will not sacrifice myself for others.” Anthony said to Liu Chendong, “Saving others is contingent on living yourself.”

Liu Chendong fell silent. He felt his values ​​crumble instantly. He slowly stood up. "I'm going upstairs to rest for a bit." Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he went upstairs...

The fire hydrant was still spraying water, but Baler's charred body twitched, and the next second, a brand new arm emerged from it...

A dark corner.

"Wow! Not bad!" The screen showed the situation of Liu Chendong and his team dealing with Baler.

"Looks like your weapon isn't very good."

"Really? Keep watching, just treat it like a reality show! Also, do you really think I have a good temper? You've been mocking me time and time again?"

Chapter 745 Trials in the Virtual World [7]

"Hey! I just got injured on the face by that killer... what if I...?" In the dimly lit sewer, Liu Chendong touched his face and suddenly asked Anthony beside him.

“Don’t worry, the tyrant’s disease doesn’t spread like that,” Anthony reassured her. “You won’t get infected.”

"Who asked you that? I was asking if you'll get disfigured," Liu Chendong asked cautiously. "As expected, all so-called protective gear is unreliable. You're protecting your whole body, so why not your face?"

"Why don't you just die!" Daisy nearly tripped over when she heard Liu Chendong's words.

Even the usually serious Francis couldn't help but mentally complain. Francis led everyone through the winding, labyrinthine sewers. Liu Chendong, completely bewildered, ran up to him and asked if they wouldn't get lost. Francis, without even turning his head, replied, "Sewer rats don't get lost." Sigh. Why does everyone seem to have such a profound story? Had he really lived too simply for the past 18 years? He shook his head. Daisy approached him and whispered, "Francis lived here when he was little. He was poor then, but happy." Daisy's gaze drifted into the distance. "But one winter, it was so cold that only Francis and I survived."

At the time, I was also going to die; I had pneumonia. It was the commission Francis earned from participating in the underground cyborg fighting that bought me an artificial lung. Francis had broken both his arms himself and immediately replaced them with prosthetics to compete, without even a chance for blood transfusions or pain relief.

"Hmm! He's a very reliable man," Liu Chendong said, patting Daisy on the shoulder.

“There’s a gate ahead. Once we get past it, we’ll close it so we don’t have to worry about the monsters chasing us,” Francis told the group.

After a short while, the group worked together to finally get a chance to breathe over the nearly rusted gate. Some people started crying, some started cursing loudly, and everyone was venting their fear in every way they could think of.

"Hey everyone! Stop crying. The sewers aren't necessarily safe either. Let's get going," Liu Chendong said. "You can cry all you want once it's safe."

"Don't you have any compassion?" Liu Chendong's words drew complaints from everyone. As the argument escalated, a tentacle suddenly emerged from the water, grabbed a person, and dragged them underwater, disappearing instantly. What was that? Everyone was completely stunned. Liu Chendong, too, had been caught off guard by his own jinx. Francis immediately urged everyone to keep going and leave the area quickly. This time, no one complained; everyone tried to stay as far away from the water as possible.

All they could hear along the way was the sound of people panting. The strange tentacles continued to appear, taking lives from time to time. Liu Chendong ran to Anthony and asked, "What is that?" Anthony shook his head, indicating he didn't know either. Francis turned back and said, "The main road is just ahead; it has no end." He then led the way.

Walking in knee-deep water presents greater resistance, and the icy water combined with the eerie tentacles sends chills down one's spine.

"My God, what is that?" Beneath the massive waterfall of pipes, a gigantic mass of flesh slowly writhed, its waving tentacles still adorned with withered corpses, surrounded by a swarm of zombies. The mass of flesh noticed them, revealing a deformed face and emitting a sound like a baby crying. As if receiving a command, the zombies roared and charged towards the group.

"Run!" someone shouted, and everyone scrambled to escape. "Don't run that way, it's a dead end!" Liu Chendong yelled.

"Let's go, don't worry about their lives," Anthony said, seizing the opportunity.

"you..."

“You son of a bitch,” Anthony said. “I’m the second personality.”

Damn it! How can there be so many zombies in the sewers! They must be the people who hid here before, but what's with that fleshy ball? Liu Chendong ran to Francis's side and said, "Running like this isn't going to work, we have to think of a way to stop them."

"What other options do we have now?" Daisy shouted from the side.

The zombies were closing in, and people were being pounced on every now and then. Francis couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned back and killed a few zombies, but even more kept coming. What to do? Liu Chendong angrily pulled a grenade from his backpack. "Damn it, I'll take you all down with me!" he thought. Just as he was about to detonate it, Anthony snatched it away.

"What are you doing?" Liu Chendong pulled Anthony and ran backward.

“This is my mistake,” Anthony said haltingly. “I will fix it.”

"You are..." Dude, can you please stop switching between these random settings? It's exhausting.

"No way, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you." Sure enough, Anthony changed his expression and said...

"It's all your fault... If you had refused to conduct the research, so many people wouldn't have died."

"Are you an idiot? You'll die if you don't do the research. No one will thank you if you die. They'll just find someone else to do the research. Since the result is the same, does it matter who does the research?"

"No, anyone can, but it should never be me. Although I am cowardly and weak, I know there are things I would rather die than do."

"Bullshit! Give me control of your body!"

"Impossible. I am the dominant personality. Why do you think you can suddenly control the body? It's because I'm running away. I've had enough. I want to atone for everyone's sins."

Anthony finally suppressed his alter ego and said to Liu Chendong, "There's a narrow section of road ahead. Due to the design, it has to be detonated from the outside to block the entrance. I'll handle this!"

"Well, Anthony, perhaps we have other ideas," Liu Chendong advised.

“My father once told me that men, whether they like it or not, always have to give more than others to protect their families and children. This is called responsibility.”

This was the first time Liu Chendong had seen Anthony smile from the bottom of his heart. He didn't say anything more, just gave Anthony a deep look, and then turned to chase after Francis.

"Where's Anthony?" Daisy asked hurriedly as Liu Chendong caught up.

“He’s not coming,” Francis said calmly. “He’s trying to buy us time.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deafening explosion came from behind, completely blasting the exit shut and trapping all the zombies outside. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to rest, but Liu Chendong kicked them up, saying, "The time others gained by sacrificing their lives is for you to escape, not for you to rest."

The people ran tirelessly, hoping for the exit not far away, as if escaping would bring safety. Unbeknownst to them, a group of mercenaries, intent on hunting them, had quietly arrived on the island. Of course, these ignorant fools had no idea what terrifying monsters they were about to face...

Chapter 746 Trials in the Virtual World [8]

What exactly do you want to do?

"It's more interesting with more people. This is a show!"

"But if the outside world can't detect it in a short time, and you still try to contact the outside world, won't it be noticed?"

"I never believed that something this serious could be allowed to pass by slowly, and I don't care. Then you'll see the clash between our biological weapons and modern weaponry!"

"You're crazy!"

"Hey! Carlos! What's wrong?" On a transport plane, the mercenary group was heading to the artificial island. The black man shouted to Carlos, "I've seen you with a worried look on your face ever since we got on the plane."

"Nothing, it's just that something feels off about this mission." Carlos chuckled and said, "A suppression mission, to eliminate all survivors on the island. Is this a suppression mission? It looks more like a cover-up! Also, our destination has been unable to communicate with us at all."

"Don't worry, if there are any problems, we can just withdraw. We're a well-known good-guy mercenary group," said Arno, the turbaned man on the other side.

"It seems other mercenary groups have also arrived; the rewards this time are very generous," said Donna, the only woman in the group, while looking at the computer screen.

"I think I just saw a helicopter fly by," Emily said to James, who was cooking, as she waited by the window for Liu Chendong and the others to return.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Geoffrey put down what he was doing and went to the window to look out. "Are they here to rescue us?" After saying that, he ran downstairs to find Jill and Daisy. "Should we go out and contact those people?"

“Let’s wait and see. I saw it too,” Jill said. “But it wasn’t a government or military plane. It looked more like a terracotta army. Who knows what these money-grubbing guys are up to?”

Emily ran down and told everyone, "Someone jumped out of a plane near us!"

“Don’t be impulsive, let’s go observe.” Jill was the first to get up and run to the second floor. Looking out the window, she saw a group of fully armed mercenaries. As soon as they landed, they picked up their weapons and began searching around. Suddenly, many survivors ran out from nearby buildings. Jill and the others exchanged glances; there were so many survivors around them. Seeing everyone running out, Geoffrey wanted to take Emily and Andrew down, but Jill stopped him. “Something’s not right!”

"Are you here to rescue us?" one survivor exclaimed excitedly. After all, seeing fully armed humans in this world full of zombies and monsters was something to be happy about. The mercenary was taken aback for a moment, then grinned maliciously. "That's right, we're here to rescue you." As soon as he finished speaking, he opened fire on the crowd.

"Help! What are you doing?" The crowd began to flee in panic, cursing loudly. They couldn't understand why these mercenaries were shooting at them. A critically wounded survivor, lying on the ground, asked, "Why?"

"Because our mission was to kill, not to rescue."

"Ha! You think you can live after killing us? Do you even know how terrifying these things are here? How dare you shoot so recklessly? You're all dead!!!"

"What nonsense is this?" the mercenary said, looking at the dead survivors, then turned and shouted, "Go inside and search the building! These people are all money!"

Good heavens! Geoffrey quickly blocked Emily and Andrew's eyes, and Jill drew her pistol to rush out, but Daisy held her back tightly. "What are you doing?" "I'm going to kill these dogs and smash them."

"Calm down! You'll attract them here. What about the children? Can you protect them?" Daisy urged. "Besides, they've fired their guns. This place will be surrounded by zombies in no time. We need to find a way out!"

"Yes, let's pack our things right away," Janfer said in a panic. "But what about Ashura and the others? Should we hold out?"

“We can’t hold out. The things here are okay against zombies, but they can’t keep people out at all.” Daisy is still unaware of the Tyrant’s existence. “At their speed, they’ll find us here soon. Everyone knows how strong Liu Chendong and Francis are. They’ll definitely find us after we leave, and there’s that weirdo Anthony too.”

Afterwards, several women, along with two children, began packing. They filled several large bags with guns and food. The adults were wearing armor, while the children wore rugby uniforms and helmets. "We don't have a car," the group said cautiously as they descended the stairs. Suddenly, Geoffrey said, "Sister, there are cars everywhere. At a time like this, I don't think anyone cares where the car came from, right? My dear Jill!"

“That’s right.” The group evaded the mercenaries’ search on the street and found a city SUV. Daisy, who had grown up on the fringes of society, quickly opened the car door. “Get in quickly, these bags are too heavy,” Daisy said after starting the car. Janfer and Jill got in with the child, and Daisy floored the gas pedal and drove off. The sound of the engine attracted the mercenaries’ attention, and by the time they arrived, only the taillights were visible.

"Damn it! You guys get two cars and chase after me, the rest of you keep searching!" one of the mercenaries shouted. Perhaps the mercenaries were skilled, or perhaps Daisy was not, but in any case, Daisy and her group were caught up.

"Stop running!" A mercenary leaned out of the car and fired wildly with his gun, sending sparks flying across Daisy's SUV.

"Damn it, do they really think I'm easy to bully?" Daisy roared. "Jill, kill them."

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Jill said jokingly before turning back.

"Wow! Pretty impressive," the mercenary said, feeling the bullets whizzing past his face. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and the mercenary saw his own body outside the carriage, blood splattering everywhere, his head severed.

"What's that?" the mercenary inside the car shouted. No one answered him because a red monster appeared in front of them, its giant claws piercing through the windshield and stabbing into the driver's chest. The car then lurched and crashed into the roadside, causing a violent explosion. With a whoosh, the monster leaped out of the fire and chased after Daisy and the others. Jill, who witnessed all of this, said blankly, "We're in trouble."

In their terror, no one noticed the red glint in Andrew's eyes as he whispered, "The Hunter? Where's that low-level clown?"

Not all mercenary teams are as lucky as the previous one, such as Viper. Carlos and his group had just landed when the surroundings became deathly quiet.

"Would there even be any living people in a place like this?" Arno said. "I just don't understand. It's just a money-making mission, why did the group send our team here? It's a waste of talent!"

Chapter 747 Trials in the Virtual World [9]

"Ugh, seriously! What kind of place is this?" The listless guy, Daudet, who had been sleeping since the plane, complained. Everyone grumbled as they packed up, making quick progress. Once finished, they formed a tactical formation and headed out. After passing a few intersections, they saw several people staggering towards them. The lead assault soldier, Arno, ignored them and continued forward, only to be pulled back by Carlos. "Something's wrong!" Carlos said, then shouted at the approaching group, "Stop! Or we'll shoot!" Hearing Carlos's words, the others also locked onto the approaching group. However, the approaching group ignored him and continued marching. "Stop!" Carlos fired a warning shot into the ground in front of them, but it was no use. "Fire!"

After a few shots, looking at the people who had been shot down, Carlos let out a breath. "Maybe I was too nervous."

"What are you talking about? You're not a new recruit, are you? You're not a joker." Arno said with a chuckle.

“No, your tension is justified,” Donna said, because she saw the men who had just been killed stand up again, and several more came from elsewhere. Compared to the previous ones, some of these newcomers were bitten to pieces or disemboweled, yet they weren't dead and were actually walking towards them. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would know this was abnormal, let alone these battle-hardened mercenaries. Gunfire erupted again, and everyone retreated while firing.

"Dauder, get a car right now!" Carlos shouted. "We need to get out of here quickly, or more and more of these monsters will gather."

"Shoot them down," Donna said calmly, her hands moving with deadly precision as she took down enemies one by one.

Hru didn't speak, but the Gatling gun in his hand never stopped firing. Dudley agreed and ran to a Humvee parked nearby. He quickly started the car and drove it to the group. The others jumped in without warning, and the Humvee sped off, ramming the zombies blocking their path.
