Chapter 1382: Chapter 1291: Queen of Violence 14

After finally grinding this monster to death, everyone was in a rare relaxed mood. Tang Feng had been running back and forth handing grenades to Liu Shuangshuang the whole time, which was anything but easy. He not only had to keep up with Liu Shuangshuang’s speed, but also had to be careful not to get smashed by that monster.

By the time the monster died, Tang Feng was so exhausted he collapsed onto the ground, every muscle in his body aching, not wanting to move at all. Liu Shuangshuang sat on the steps opposite Tang Feng. She actually wasn’t very tired, but since everyone else was sitting, it didn’t feel right for her to stay standing.

Because she was sitting face-to-face with Tang Feng, the moment Liu Shuangshuang looked up she saw something coming straight at the back of Tang Feng’s head. She didn’t have time to think and simply flung the knife in her hand.

With a ding, the long knife blocked the incoming object. After a crisp clang, the long knife and that thing fell to the ground together. It was a bullet.

Although that bullet was blocked by Liu Shuangshuang, another bullet was fired right after, this time aimed at Liu Shuangshuang’s head.

Liu Shuangshuang tilted her head slightly, and the bullet grazed past her skull, hitting the ruined wall of the high-rise that had been clawed apart by the monster behind her, making a sharp bong sound.

It all happened in a split second. Only after Liu Shuangshuang blocked and dodged the bullets did Tang Feng and the people around them realize what had just happened, and Tang Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn’t have time to thank Liu Shuangshuang. Tang Feng whipped his head around to see who had attacked him and Liu Shuangshuang. Liu Shuangshuang, meanwhile, reached out and used her Inner Strength to draw the bullet from the ground into her hand.

Liu Shuangshuang examined the bullet in her palm. "Not a sniper round, just a regular handgun. A handgun like this doesn’t have very long range.

The person who attacked Brother Tang should be nearby. Everyone spread out and search the area. This guy shouldn’t be hard to find. The other side has a gun, so be careful."

Everyone immediately went on full alert and scattered. Since Liu Shuangshuang had been facing the attacker head-on earlier, she estimated the direction the bullet came from and also moved that way to search.

The person who had tried to ambush Tang Feng hadn’t hidden very well. Before Liu Shuangshuang even got over there, someone had already caught him. It was a Middle-aged man with shoulder-length hair, wearing a white lab coat.

The man’s arms were pinned by two people, his upper body half-pressed to the ground, looking quite disheveled, yet he still struggled to crane his neck up. His eyes, as he glared at Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng, were full of hatred. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"You two bastards! You actually destroyed my life’s work! My masterpiece! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!"

The man screamed hoarsely at Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng, the resentment and fury in his eyes practically solidifying into substance.

Tang Feng and Liu Shuangshuang exchanged a look, both with some guesses in their eyes. Tang Feng frowned at the man and said coldly, "That monster was your doing?"

The man seemed triggered by the word "monster." He struggled violently and roared in rage, "What would you idiots know! That’s not a monster, that’s my most perfect experimental specimen, an Undying One!

Do you know what an Undying One is? No matter how many injuries it takes, they heal instantly. It can never be killed. It’s a miracle of life. As long as I keep researching using the cells of the Undying Ones, one day I’ll be able to create an immortality drug, and then all of humanity will be able to live forever!"

By this point, the man’s eyes were blazing with fanaticism. "Do you have any idea what a great invention this is? Humanity’s dream of eternal life is about to be realized in my hands! And now you’ve ruined everything. You’re the sinners of mankind! I’m going to kill you!"

This guy was a full-on mad scientist, a researcher driven insane by his obsession with eternal life. Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng just stared speechlessly as he ranted on about his dream of immortality.

Recalling the appearance of that monster just now, Tang Feng couldn’t help shuddering. He curled his lip and said to the still-yelling man who was bragging about how great his invention was, "Give it a rest. You call that unkillable monster ’perfect’? If eternal life means ending up like that, I’d rather drop dead right now."

After mocking him, Tang Feng ignored the man’s continued ranting and waved at the two holding him down. "Take him back and hand him over to the Monster Interrogation Division.

And send a few people to search this man’s place. See if there’s anything useful. A mad scientist like this definitely has a pile of research data he can’t afford to have exposed."

The man’s place was not far away, a huge abandoned underground parking garage that he had converted into a laboratory.

They brought back both the man and his data to the Special Handling Office No.1. After handing everything over, the first thing everyone did was head straight for the bathhouse. During the fight with the monster, all of them had gotten splashed with the slime from its body.

The slime stank to high heaven. They’d endured it all the way back, especially Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng, who’d been doused in it from head to toe. The stench was so bad their noses were practically numb.

Liu Shuangshuang soaked in the bathhouse for a full three hours, using who knew how much scented body wash. Her skin was wrinkled from all the scrubbing, yet when she came out she still felt there was a weird smell on her.

For a full half month afterward, Liu Shuangshuang kept feeling like she stank, taking several showers a day and nearly scrubbing off a layer of her own skin.

From this battle with the monster, everyone from Team Two who took part received a hefty reward. As the main fighter against the monster, Liu Shuangshuang got the largest share. She didn’t really care how much it was; there was just a long string of zeros on the back.

After the fight with the monster ended, Tang Feng and his subordinates treated Liu Shuangshuang to a meal to thank her. Without Liu Shuangshuang this time, people would definitely have died.

The group went to the biggest hotel in the city, the Phoenix Restaurant. The prices there were extremely high, but you get what you pay for. The food tasted amazing, and the chefs were all specially hired top-tier cooks.

Everyone gathered together to eat, drink, and chat. Although Liu Shuangshuang didn’t talk much, people from Team Two had always felt she was hard to approach before and were reluctant to get close to her.

But after this life-and-death battle, everyone’s impression of Liu Shuangshuang changed a lot. So what if she was quiet? Being reliable at critical moments was way better than being a smooth talker.

Because of that, even though Liu Shuangshuang didn’t say much, she wasn’t left out. Halfway through the meal, Liu Shuangshuang suddenly felt nature’s call and got up to go to the restroom.

As soon as she stepped into the ladies’ room, she heard that there seemed to be people arguing in the men’s room next door. Their voices were very low, so a normal person wouldn’t hear clearly at all. Liu Shuangshuang, however, had sensitive hearing from martial arts training, so she picked up the conversation next door.

Normally, Liu Shuangshuang had no interest in eavesdropping, but she really had to pee, so she was forced into listening this once.

The argument was between two men. One was berating the other: "Ren Siyu, could you at least act like you’re a star? You’re already drowning in scandals everywhere. Can you stop doing things that just bring yourself more trouble?"
