After screaming, the clerk gave Liu Zheng a shove.

The huge force directly cracked the ribs on his side and pushed him several meters away.

As expected of the clerk of a century-old store, even humans are not weak.

"That's it?"

However, Liu Zheng was not surprised at all, but instead smiled mockingly.

He took a big step and jumped forward again. His cracked ribs were already healed by the time he threw himself in front of the clerk.

The clerk looked ferocious and waved an iron fist at him.

His small, slender fists produced a momentum that even world-class boxing champions could not achieve.

Even the strongest man in real life, wearing a full set of protective gear, would not be able to receive this punch.

Unfortunately, what she faced was Liu Zheng.

No matter what he thinks, he is already far away from human attributes.

Liu Zheng puffed up his chest and took the punch.

The white and tender hand directly penetrated his chest and turned into a bloody hand.

The clerk had a look of pride on his face, but it soon turned into horror.

Because Liu Zheng not only didn't look in pain, but actually looked a little happy.

"I'm so touched that he showed his heart to me so quickly."

He said with an intoxicated look.

"In return, I will help you relax your muscles and bones."

Three Bamboo's tentacles tightly hugged the clerk, and the fourth tentacle held Boning Knife and raised it high.

With a flash of the knife, the clerk's left arm was chopped off completely and fell to the floor. His fingers twitched a few times.

The clerk screamed, tears of fear flowing from his eyes.

"Don't cry. The more you cry, the more I want to torture you."

Liu Zheng spoke in a gentle tone while raising the knife and cutting off one of the clerk's legs.

A large amount of blood poured down from the fracture, dyeing his hooves red.

"I can't tell that the grade of your ingredients is quite high."

Liu Zheng was a little surprised at how smoothly the cutting went.

"No, don't torture me. I'll sign for the takeout, I'll sign for it."

The clerk tried his best to hold back tears, and his beautiful face was distorted.

"You definitely have to sign for the takeout, but before that, you have to do one thing first."

he said.

"What's the matter?"

"Let these people go."

he said.

"The door closes automatically and cannot be opened without the store manager's permission."

The clerk shook his head.

She didn't ask Liu Zheng why he wanted to save these Pet People, because that would probably lead to another round of torture.

"Then open the octagonal cage. If you say no again, I will chop off your head with the next stab. Dead people should be able to sign for takeaways, right?"

Liu Zheng said with a half-smile.

"Even if I open the octagonal cage, you can't escape. In three minutes at most, the store manager will notice something strange here and come over, and by then you won't be able to escape."

The clerk reminded him despite the severe pain.

Because they can't escape by then, Liu Zheng will definitely take her as a hostage.

The store manager's choice must be to kill the gangsters and hostages together.

"That's my business. If you didn't do it, you'd be dead by now."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay."

The clerk didn't hesitate anymore and pressed another button.

The octagonal cage gradually retracted underground, and those Pet People species were in a daze, as if they didn't understand what was happening.

"Want to be free? If so, come with me."

Liu Zheng dragged the clerk to the front door.

The little girl he named Sniper Rifle stared at him for a while, then crawled towards him on hands and feet.

Seeing this, other Pet People types followed suit, but they just used it instead.

"Come here and stand in front of me in a single file."

Liu Zheng said.

He originally wanted to say that the bigger ones would stand sideways, but after seeing that the strongest of the group was only less than two-thirds of his size, he didn't say anything.

"Why are you helping us?"

Sniper Rifle spoke with difficulty.

"Because I want you to work for me."

Liu Zheng said.

Upon hearing his words, those Pet People types immediately became alert, and Sniper Rifle also made an attack posture.

"But so what? Will it be worse than what you are here?"

He said nonchalantly.

"You, say, yes."

Sniper Rifle and Liu Zheng looked at each other for a few seconds, hit their heads with their fists several times, and then nodded.

"Listen to him, line up."

It can be seen that Sniper Rifle is very prestigious among these Pet People categories.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the others immediately lined up.

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these Pet People types only castrated the spirit, not the intelligence, otherwise it would have been a lot more troublesome.

He took out a strange machine from his arms, which attracted everyone's attention.

Its shape and size are like a heart, but it is entirely made of metal and has no trace of flesh and blood.

But its complex and precise structure is like a high-end clock, and even the smallest parts inside cannot be seen clearly with the eyesight of Liu Zheng.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

The sounds of the heart beating and the clock hand moving are simultaneously emitted from this mechanical heart, and the monotonous rhythm contains breathtaking power.

"Name: Malformed Mechanical Heart (one-time)"

"Type: prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Create a super big explosion, with a power approximately equal to 10 tons of TNT explosives."

"Remarks: If you can't have life, then destroy it."

"Can copies be taken out: No"

This is what Nightingale gave him, a mechanical heart that was made incorrectly.

It no longer has the ability to give life to mechanical creations, but it has the power to destroy all life.

Even Nightingale had no way of surviving the big explosion, which was meant to perish with her brothers and sisters.

However, her situation has improved now, so it doesn't matter if she gives Liu Zheng first.

Anyway, if she simply self-destructs, she still has many options.

Sniper Rifle didn't know what Citizen Humans was holding in front of her, but that didn't stop her from sensing the terrifying power contained in it with her beast-like intuition.

The hairs all over her body stood on end out of fear, and her pupils dilated to their limit.

At this distance, as long as she explodes with all her strength, it only takes three seconds to tear this Citizen Humans into pieces.

Even if Sniper Rifle hasn't eaten for a week.

The Pet People classes behind her are also waiting for her instructions.

There is no way, after so many years and generations of slavery and oppression, there has been an unbridgeable gap between the Pet People class and the Citizen Humans class.

Even Pet People classes do not trust each other.

They only trust Sniper Rifle, which is the number AWM1997.

Because she once killed a citizen who came to choose a pet in front of them.

However, Sniper Rifle did nothing, just watched quietly.

No one knows what is going on in her incomplete genius brain.

Of course, Liu Zheng doesn't care either.

When he decides to do a thankless thing, it doesn't matter what the bystander or the person involved thinks.

All he cares about is how to achieve his goal.

Liu Zheng took out Suicide Detonation Button, and then took out the ripped suit.

"Name: Real Man's Suit (one-time)"

"Type: prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: When you put on the suit and face the direction of the explosion, an invisible force field is created, Block all the damage and negative effects caused by the explosion."

"Remarks: A real man never looks back at an explosion, because he will die if he is seen behind."

"Can copies be taken out: No"

He put on a suit and combed his seaweed hair into an adult look.

"Hello, please sign for your takeaway."

Liu Zheng said to the clerk.

"You promised to let me go."

the clerk screamed.

"When did I promise? Are you hallucinating?"

he asked strangely.

The clerk tried to struggle, but Liu Zheng instantly chopped off the remaining limbs.

"Forget it, it's not easy to see you. Let me sign it for you."

He picked up the clerk's hand, inserted it into the wound of her severed limb, and then wrote "signature" on the takeout box.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Liu Zheng bowed to her.

"You scumbag, you must die a happy death!"

The clerk cursed in despair.

"First, I am not a scumbag."

"Second, I was not destined to die well, because I will live and always live."

He corrected seriously.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the machine's operation sounded, and the lobby was unblocked.

The clerks rushed out from various rooms, and one of them, who was holding a whip, was particularly large. He should be the store manager Xiaomei mentioned.

Even from a distance, Liu Zheng felt the tremendous pressure from the store manager on him.

This person's strength should be stronger than Nightingale.

However, the stronger he is, the more excited he is about killing.

Now, everything is ready.

Just short of a fire.

"Then let's light the fire."

Liu Zheng turned around and ignored the whip that stabbed him like a spear.

Then, the button was pressed.

I worked overtime again yesterday, so the second chapter will be a little late. Please forgive me, Master Reader.
