Chapter 739: It Hurts My Heart So Much! (Extra Chapter)
At this moment in the Dek Laboratory, countless staff members stared wide-eyed at the images collected by the Heavenly Eye System!
Our Nova Fortress, which took so many years and so much hard work to build—where did it go?
Gone in the time it takes to make a cup of coffee?
Completely erased from the map, with not even a trace left to see!
Right now, a woman in a white lab coat and round-rimmed glasses stood before the screen, her eyes utterly dazed!
She had a beautiful face, an explosive figure, and her blonde hair was casually tied behind her head.
The coffee cup in her hand had even fallen to the floor!
[From Nova. Sophia's Resentment Value +1000!]
"Ahh~ Jiang Devil! My fortress!"
Nova's face was full of anguish. Shouldn't Jiangnan and his people be in the Kora Mine Pit?
How on earth did they evade the Heavenly Eye System's surveillance?
And to think the fortress, as solid as an iron bastion, couldn't hold for even three minutes?
What happened to the promise of holding out for two weeks?
Is this the power of that Jiang Devil who flattened Area 53?
Nova's body went cold: "Quick! Change the terrain and seal the giant pit!"
"With this kind of fighting style, Kaigi and the others will be dead before long!"
The staff quickly manipulated the core!
Thick stone slabs extended from the walls of the huge pit, trying to seal it shut!
Jiangnan sneered. While using the small slingshot to fire Spirit Beads, he continuously used Void Black Hole to gnaw away at the bottom of the stone slabs!
The thousands of tons of thick stone slabs broke off and instead crashed down into the pit, crushing quite a few people!
"It's no good! Their firepower is too fierce. If this keeps up, we can't catch up!"
"And this pit is way too damn big? How did they even make it?"
"How about moving a Spirit-Binding mine over? Use the Spirit-Binding field to seal off Jiangnan's powers and create an opportunity for Kaigi!"
"But then Kaigi and the others would be sealed too, and Jiangnan still has the centipede. That won't work!"
Nova urged: "Quick! Use stone formations to send a message to Jiangnan!"
Just then, beside the Nova giant pit, stone strips rose from the ground, forming a series of symbols that kept changing.
Xiao Zhen was taken aback: "It's Morse code. It should be a message from the Dek Laboratory!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Ignore it! Send some people to block them, and we keep fighting!"
"Brother Feng, group Spirit Bullet kinetic energy boost, aim for their heads and blast them!"
Ling Feng's eyes were full of excitement. He waved his hand, and spiritual energy surged!
The kinetic energy of the Spirit Beads fired from the small slingshots skyrocketed, breaking through to four times the speed of sound!
And guided by Ling Feng, they flew straight at their heads, exploding on impact!
One shot, one little cutie!
If the head is gone, they all die!
Although the small slingshot's Frenzy Output Mode didn't have auto-aim, with Ling Feng around, it was like everyone had a headshot cheat!
No need to aim at all!
A bunch of slingshot users howled with excitement, almost worshiping the small slingshots!
As tanky melee fighters, they had never dealt such unreasonable damage in their lives!
Finally, they got to experience the joy of being the damage dealer!
In no time, Kaigi and his forces had over 2,500 casualties, and the number was still rising!
Xiao Zhen: "Translated!"
"They say: Don't go too far! Even if you flatten Nova Fortress and kill everyone, we won't open the fourth floor entrance. You won't be able to go down!"
Jiangnan laughed scornfully!
Bullshit! Who are you trying to fool?
I don't believe you've mastered the core incantations to close the Space Gate or move its location!
If you really could, you wouldn't have built Nova Fortress as solid as iron!
It was precisely to guard the fourth floor entrance!
If Nova Fortress is gone, I'll go down to the fourth floor whenever I want, and you can't stop me!
Just then, Jiangnan turned around and used Void Black Hole to dig a pit in the plain!
He actually carved out a super huge emoji graffiti!
Middle finger pointing to the sky!
"┌∩┐(｡°᷄Д°᷅｡)┌∩┐"
In the Dek Laboratory, Nova stared at the oversized emoji on the plain, grinding her teeth, her eyes nearly spitting fire!
How can he be so arrogant!
Drawing an emoji on the ground of our third layer?
Although it didn't have a single word, it clearly conveyed Jiangnan's intentions...
[From Nova. Sophia's Resentment Value +1000!]
(ꐦ❛̷益❛̷): "Can't fool him? Then what do we do? I'm so anxious!"
Jiangnan's guess was right. With the current level of incantations mastered by the Americans!
They couldn't move or close the Space Gate at all. Changing the teleport point was already the limit!
That meant, after flattening Nova Fortress, they had no way to stop Jiangnan from going down to the fourth floor!
But the problem was, Jiangnan was deliberately staying up here, crazily slaughtering Kaigi and his men!
If Kaigi and the others were all dead, the Americans would have no usable forces left on the third layer!
They would have the core but no advantage at all!
A staff member timidly said: "Boss, how about we negotiate nicely and ask him to go down?"
"If he keeps hanging around the third layer and blocks the entrance, what will happen when Fito and the others come back?"
Nova: ???
"You're talking nonsense! Beg him? Ridiculous!"
Originally, they were trying to stop Jiangnan from going down!
Now they had to beg him to go down?
Impossible!
But at this moment, Jiangnan was fully immersed in the joy of playing with his slingshot!
Over twenty Diamond Rank Spirit Beads, accelerated and aimed by Ling Feng, all hit Kaigi!
He was severely wounded, too weak even to curse!
Jiangnan reached into his pocket and froze!
Gone... all gone?
The thirty Diamond Rank Spirit Beads he had tricked from Fito were all used up without him noticing?
In an instant, Jiangnan's heart felt like it was being cut to pieces by a thousand knives!
How much money was that!
｡°(°˃᷄口˂᷅°)°｡ Wuwah!
Jiangnan burst into tears, hot tears streaming down his cheeks.
Everyone was stunned. Why was he crying in the middle of the fight?
Was he so sentimental?
Was he crying out of sympathy for Kaigi and his men's tragic fate?
Just then, Jiangnan pulled out another Black Bead and shot it out. Accelerated and aimed by Ling Feng, it blasted a bloody hole in Kaigi!
Jiangnan wiped his tears: "It's all your fault! You had to stir up trouble and made me spend so much money!"
"This was all hard-earned! It hurts my heart so much!"
With that, he fired another Black Bead, making Kaigi cough up blood!
Kaigi: (#)༎ຶཀ༎ຶ(#) Pfft—
We flattened Nova Fortress, and you've almost killed all our people!
We haven't even cried yet, and you're crying first?
What the hell is there for you to be heartbroken about? We have nothing to say!
[From Kaigi's Resentment Value +1000!]
(๐ཀ口꒦ີ)つY−−＝≡✹
"I'll fucking kill you! You made me spend so much money!"
Black Beads mercilessly pelted Kaigi. Watching this, Ling Feng and the others couldn't help but shiver!
Crying while beating a Diamond Rank until he vomited blood—only the Southern God could pull this off!
Was it because of the Greed Sin's influence that he felt more pain than usual?
Xia Yao giggled inwardly. They needed to get Little Nan down to the fourth floor soon!
Otherwise, he might die from the heartache of spending too much money!
Just then, Jiangnan pulled another Black Bead onto the slingshot. The bead turned a fiery red, and he was about to fire!
Suddenly, the slingshot's rubber band let out a strained groan!
With a "pop," it snapped violently!
It lashed back hard across Jiangnan's little face!
Jiangnan's head was jerked back by the huge force, and he was momentarily dazed!
He felt a burning pain on his face, and his eyes nearly got blinded!
Two bright red marks appeared on his face!
Before he could figure out what happened, the red-hot Black Bead in his hand pouch detonated with a thunderous roar!
"Boom!"
A violent explosion ensued, blasting Jiangnan flying at such close range!
His green Teletubbies suit turned black...
Jiangnan lay on the ground, clutching his face, spat out a mouthful of blood!
(ﾉ)ཀ(ヾ) Hiss—
There was no pain in the world worse than being hit in the face by a snapped rubber band!
Even ripping off a hangnail or getting a zipper stuck under your chin wasn't this painful!
Had the slingshot's rubber band durability reached zero, causing it to break?
Could this thing be any more of a scam?
He thought the small slingshot was a good thing, but now he had to bear the risk of getting slapped in the face by the rubber band!
And the ammunition was random—who knew how many stretches the rubber band could take before snapping?
Was this the retribution for shooting birds?
Wu Liang and the others watched with bewildered faces... Did it misfire?
It even made Brother Nan spew blood?
This was no joke. Everyone looked at the small slingshots in their hands with a bit of trepidation!
Just then, Jiangnan got up from the ground, nosebleeding, his face burning with rage!
He rushed to the edge of the pit, his hands spinning like windmills, and hurled Diamond Giant Durians—whose stems he had already pressed—like they cost nothing toward Kaigi!
"It's all your fault! Every bit of it! I'll kill you!"
Ling Feng swallowed his saliva and began adding speed and headshot buffs to the durians!
In an instant, Kaigi and his men were drenched in endless golden durian pulp!
Not only did they have to endure fierce bombardment, but also the poisonous gas attack from the hellish stench!
With over twenty bloody holes all over him, drenched in blood, Kaigi lay in a pool of yellow, his eyes wide with despair!
He couldn't catch his breath!
With a click, he died!
[From Kaigi's Resentment Value +1001!]
Still furious, Jiangnan hauled an intercontinental missile from his Alternate Dimension and aimed it at the giant pit...
Dek Laboratory!
Nova's eyes widened in terror!
"There's more? Quick! Beg him! Beg him to go down right now! If he fires another one, there'll be nothing left!"
At that moment, the staff didn't bother with the stone strip phone anymore!
They used stone strips to form an English sentence on the plain!
"Big! Brother!"
"Count us in, please! Go down!"
(Big brother! Please, we beg you! Go down!)
A flat stone path rose from the plain, leading straight to the signal station behind the fortress!
That was the entrance to the fourth floor's Space Gate!
The path was even carefully marked with "➵➴" arrows to make sure Jiangnan didn't miss it!
Jiangnan, carrying the missile, grinned brightly!
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑): "See? I told you they'd beg me to go down!"
Ling Feng, Xiao Zhen, and the others all covered their faces. Not only did they beg you, they even prepared the path for you!
If conditions allowed, they'd roll out a red carpet for you!
