Chapter 490: Pig-like Enemy
With a bang, the large door that was as thick as castle wall was cracked open with a kick by the Tap Monster and it crumbled like lego blocks. In the spacious lobby of the building, many elite robots were already standing in waiting. Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo who ran away with his tails between his legs now stood before the new batch of IWNBB army and reassumed his prideful pose.
“Superheroes, this is where your journey ends!” Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo took up his boisterous and cocky tone again like the scene that his previous army was demolished did not happen. “With Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo around, you are not going to get anywhere close to Professor Sui Sui Sui Sui who is at the underground command central!”
“Hmm... He exposed his own boss’ location so easily. I can’t even...” Feng Bujue tossed a pitiful glance at the enemy.
“Do not think that I was running earlier... Erm... I was just taking a tactical retreat. Do not think that it was because I was afraid of you!” Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo roared. “That was part of my tactic to lure you here! This way you will not be able to run away now!”
“What you did was to run back here where you knew a new batch of armed robots will be waiting...” Feng Bujue coldly laid down the facts.
“Stop wasting my time, you cunning little man!” Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo cursed desperately. “You were a sleazy one who killed Qiong Qiong Qiong Qiong from his back, what is so superhero-like about that?”
“A person who escaped when his army was defeated and only will face us when he has the advantage of number calls me out for my actions...” Feng Bujue shook his head and sighed, he added weakly, “You do not even have the courage to face others at an even playing field... does it not shame you to say those words? An antagonist with some class would not have done anything like that... You are nothing more than those ruffians who targets primary school students for their lunch money... It’s better you just shut up, find a corner and give yourself a quiet death...”
“Ah!” That hit a nerve with Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo as the man roared loudly. At the same moment, the armor on his body suddenly transformed to reveal more than 10 cannon barrels. He was trying to initiate an indiscriminate energy blast. One had to note that General Cuo was not only seeking death, he was seeking death in the most humiliating way...
For one, to get into a cursing/mocking/sarcastic contest with Brother Jue would not end up in a good result. Secondly, to use this kind of attack before two star-level superheroes was no different from actively seeking death...
“Step back, let me!” Tap Monster shouted and strode forward. In 2 seconds, his ultimate was ready... He placed his hands on his waist, and started tap dancing. Instantly, he split into a row of illusion and formed a wall before Feng Bujue and Pi Li Dance Hero.
...
At the same time...
“Go to hell!” Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo growled. The armor he had on shot out more than 10 energy beams and they surged at the superheroes.
“Ulti! Riverdance!” Tap Monster shouted back with severity.
Then, there was that insistent tapping again... it was melodious and consistent. Instantly, a tornado like gale appeared before each of the Tap Monster’s illusion. The whole row of tornadoes ravaged forward like a giant crest of wave. Before this enormous ulti, Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo’s skill was not even comparable. The energy blast was easily neutralized...
That was not the end. Riverdance’s tapping rose and fell, flowing like well, an actual river. The power continued to snowball. In few seconds, the whirlwind swallowed up Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo and the IWNBB robots behind him and tore them into pieces. Looking at the metal pieces on the ground, Feng Bujue could not help but shrug. He said. “At least... his appearance has led us to the Prof’s exact location.”
“Oh?” Pi Li Dance Hero asked, “Do you have any plan in mind?”
“What should we do next? The Poker.” Tap Monster had finished his skill and turned around.
[These two NPC sure are friendly and super obedient... this whole scenario feels like I am leading two full level summoning monsters to steamroll over a low level map...] Feng Bujue thought to himself.
“Hmm... I wouldn’t call it a plan but I have noticed something.” What he thought was different from what he said. Feng Bujue said seriously. “Did you guys notice that... so far, other than the three underlings of Prof Sui, we have not met one single person from the Shrugging Planet.”
“Erm...” Pi Li Dance Hero and Tap Monster looked at each other and said in unison. “You’re right! It is possible that Prof Sui has killed all the people in this city?”
“That’s impossible.” Feng Bujue replied. “Even though the city has been seriously destroyed but along the way, we have not seen even a single dead body, not even blood stains.” His eyes glanced around. “It is the same inside this building... technically this place should be the most guarded location on this planet. But why isn’t there even a single sign of resistance or death?”
“Why is that?” The two brownies looked at Brother Jue with confusion apparent on their faces.
“Obviously this means that there was a traitor among the planet government body...” Brother Jue suggested. “The fact that Prof Sui managed to overtake the government so successfully and easily... so fast in fact that the government didn’t have time to send out an alert, there has to be an inside traitor.” He scratched his chin and looked down the distance. “This traitor wouldn’t have that high of a rank inside the government so they did not know about the secret base; but he wouldn’t be a common soldier either... or else he wouldn’t be recruited as an insider. Hmm...” He contemplated for a while. “This is a person who cannot gain access to the highest military secret but has actual political clout at Ja Ja Ja Ja, there is only such candidate...”
“Yes, it is me.” Suddenly the speakers in the building rang out and a low voice answered Brother Jue. “I am the Major here, Zha Zha Zha Zha.” Mayor Zha spoke through the speakers. “Superheroes, I will give you props for coming so far but... ha ha...” He chuckled wickedly for a while. “This is where your journey ends!”
“This is like a broken record already, how many times I’ve heard this already?” Feng Bujue mumbled. “And why would someone with a name like that be selected as mayor? The people here really doesn’t believe in the theory of names, do they? The word Zha means cunning and deceit back on Earth and they would basically be tied to ‘money-laundering’ and other nasty deals...”
“You still don’t know this right? He he... From the moment you landed, your movement and conversation have been observed and recorded by shoulder flies (Probably a species of fly on Shrugging Planet) and has been transmitted to me and prof through nano spy bots.” Mayor Zha continued. “Hmph... that earthling who calls himself the Poker, you are what they call a ‘super intelligent’ superhero? Looks like you are going to figure out our plan anyway, so I will just reveal it to you...”
[Hey... what in the world in this logic... It’s like since ‘I have lost, I will show all of my cards to take the fun away from the rest of you’, such sportsmanship!] Feng Bujue mocked. [And you are just selling yourself out... based on your logic, as long as someone has high IQ, they don’t even need to sit for exam and one can just give them a full mark!]
“Indeed, the prof and I have captured all the people in the city.” Mayor Zha continued to expose himself on the speakers. “After assisting the professor infiltrate into the government building, I issued an evacuation order in my capacity as the mayor. Ha ha... Without knowing it, the people here obediently got into Prof Sui’s mecha transport army and left. The whole evacuation process was very successful, it took less than 1 hour.” He said proudly. “These people, or shall I say hostages, are located at a place only me and the prof know. If something happens to us, these people will die with us and you will never be able to find them! Ha ha ha ha!” he continued in this quintessential evil mastermind laugh. “Do you get it now? Superheroes, you better follow my orders, or else... Hey! What are you doing!”
Suddenly there was static on the broadcast and then...
“Who told you to get on the speaker without my permission! You bastard?”
“Why not? What does that have to do with anything! Give the communicator back to me!”
“Stop this nonsense, you are stealing my lines! I am the great, evil...”
“Nonsense, without me, how do you think you can get to this stage? All you know how to do is to mass produce brainless killing machines.”
“Who did you call brainless?”
Even though the two tried to keep their voices down, every single words that they said travelled into Feng Bujue and the gang’s ears through the speakers...
“I am talking about you, you science nerd, trash... Ah!” Major Zha broke off into a shout. Then it was followed by a few seconds of silence.
Then, Prof Sui’s voice came from the speakers. “Em Mhph! Erm... O Ha ha ha ha! Listen, trespassers, I am the great, evil...”
“Oh, how dare you hit me with the lazer gun!” A shout interrupted the professor. “Do you know how much that hurts? Ah!”
Pew! Pew!
Two shots were fired and then silence again.
Few seconds later...
“Erm... I am the great, evil, invincible...”
“Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch! You bastard! I’m going to...”
Bang! A sound like a bomb explosion interrupted that wailing that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
“Phew...” Professor Sui gave a long sigh. His shaking voice came through the speakers. “Listen, superheroes, ignore that person from before, I am the ruler of this place... erm...” He was startled. “Hey! Why did the spy bots lose the signal and where did they disappear from the camera? Where are the superheroes? Hey! Dai Dai Dai Dai staff! What is going on?”
At the same time, at a corner of the first floor of the building...
“This place is the surveillance’s blind spot.” Feng Bujue told the two superheroes. “From the prof’s reaction on the broadcast... he has indeed lost track of us.”
Brother Jue said as he opened his palm. At that moment, two bug-like metallic objects sat in his palm. “If you discover something similar, better deal with them as soon as possible...”
