Chapter 530: A Pig-Brained Foe
Chapter 530: A Pig-Brained Foe
Boom! The fortress-like door shattered under Tap Monster Guest's kick, splintering like brittle toy blocks.
Inside the expansive Star Government Grand Hall, hundreds of elite robots stood ready.
Standing proudly at the forefront of the Iwnbb Corps was Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo, the same foe who'd fled moments ago, now flashing an arrogant smirk.
"Heroes, this is where it ends!" Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo sneered, his cocky tone fully restored as if his earlier disgraceful retreat had never happened. "With me here, you won't get anywhere near the Cuicui Cuicui Doctor's command center in the basement levels!"
"Hm... He just gave away his leader's location by opening his mouth", Feng Bu Jue observed, casting the villain a pitying glance. "You don't even realize how clueless you are..."
"You think I ran away just now?!" Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo barked, his voice rising. "I meant to say... I was executing a strategic flanking maneuver! Now I'll finish you all right here!"
"You mean 'strategically' retreated back here to gather robot reinforcements", Feng Bu Jue countered coldly.
"You despicable coward!" Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo snarled, his desperation growing. "You only defeated Qiong Qiong Qiong Qiong through underhanded sneak attacks! What's there to brag about?!"
"Even a coward who abandons his comrades and brings reinforcements dares to call me dishonorable?" Feng Bu Jue shook his head in exasperation, his tone dripping with mock disappointment. "You don't even have the courage to face a true powerhouse on equal footing... And yet you're shouting like this? Even a halfway decent antagonist would show more dignity. You're barely worthier than a thug who bullies elementary school kids for lunch money. Why don't you shut up and crawl into a corner to die quietly?"
"Aaaagh!" Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo roared with rage. In the same instant, his armor-plated body twisted grotesquely, sprouting over a dozen gun barrels. A devastating barrage of energy attacks charged toward the heroes.
Let it be said - General Cuo wasn't just courting death; he was practically demanding a humiliating execution.
Firstly, verbally sparring with Feng Bu Jue was practically a suicide mission.
Secondly, launching such a reckless attack against two Galactic-Level Heroes was tantamount to asking for annihilation.
"Stand back, I'll handle this!" Tap Monster Guest bellowed, stepping forward.
Within those two seconds, his ultimate technique had already charged. He planted his feet wide, tapped his shoes twice, and in a flash created a row of phantom clones forming a human wall before Feng Bu Jue and Pili Dancer Warrior.
At that very moment...
"Die!" Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo screamed, his armor unleashing multiple beams of energy toward the heroes.
"Secret Art! Grand River Dance!" Tap Monster Guest roared.
Before his words finished echoing, a synchronized clatter of tap sounds rang out. Each clone kicked forward simultaneously, unleashing spiraling dragon-shaped gusts. The entire line of rampaging gales surged forward like an unstoppable tidal wave.
Faced with this tsunami-like technique, Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo's attacks were utterly insignificant. The energy beams were instantly dispersed.
But the assault didn't stop there. The tap sounds of "Grand River Dance" continued in unbroken succession, their power snowballing with terrifying intensity. Within seconds, those gales engulfed Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo and his entire Iwnbb unit, tearing them apart completely.
Feng Bu Jue shrugged noncommittally at the scattered debris. "Well, at least his dramatic entrance confirmed the Doctor's location."
"Oh?" Pili Dancer Warrior responded. "Got a plan now?"
Tap Monster Guest, having ended his technique, turned around. "What's our next move, Poker Hero?"
"These two Npc allies are surprisingly cooperative. It's like having two max-level summons crushing through a low-level zone", Feng Bu Jue mused internally.
"Plans? Not exactly", he said aloud, his expression turning serious. "But I have noticed something. Did either of you realize we haven't seen a single Shrugging Planet human besides Doctor Sui's three henchmen?"
The two heroes exchanged puzzled glances. "Now that you mention it... Could Doctor Sui have already exterminated the entire city's population?"
"Unlikely", Feng Bu Jue countered. "Though the city's suffered significant damage, we haven't seen a single civilian corpse or bloodstain. Even inside this building..." He swept his gaze around. "This should be Zhazhazha Planet's most heavily guarded location, yet there's no sign of resistance or casualties anywhere."
The two A3-ranked heroes looked confused.
"It's obvious - the Star Government has a traitor", Feng Bu Jue explained. "Doctor Sui's operation went so smoothly he even prevented the government from sending out distress signals. There must be an inside accomplice." He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "This traitor doesn't hold the highest position, which is why they don't know about the secret military base. But their authority must be substantial... Someone who doesn't access top military secrets yet wields significant power in Zhazhazha Planet's capital. Could it be..."
"Correct", a deep voice suddenly boomed through the building's intercom. "You've figured it out."
"This is Mayor Zha Zha Zha Zha of Zhazhazha Planet", the voice continued. "Heroes, you're indeed powerful... But hehehe..." A sinister chuckle followed. "This is where it ends!"
Feng Bu Jue muttered, "This is the third or fourth time someone's said that in the last hour. Honestly, how did someone with a name like 'Zha Zha Zha Zha' become mayor? On Earth, that'd be like naming yourself 'Cash Greedy' or 'A. Sellout'!"
"Don't you realize?" the mayor continued. "From the moment you set foot here, every word and action of yours has been transmitted to Doctor Sui and me through Shoulder Fly surveillance bots!"
"Hmph... Poker Hero, you're the 'Super Wisdom' Hero, aren't you? I know you'll eventually deduce our operation, so I'll just explain everything now..."
"Excuse me?" Feng Bu Jue mentally groaned. "What's with this 'since you can't resist, just enjoy it' attitude? By that logic, just give high scorers full marks without taking exams!"
"Doctor Sui and I have already captured the entire city's population", the mayor revealed. "After assisting Doctor Sui in seizing this Star Government building, I issued an evacuation order under my mayoral authority. The citizens followed Doctor Sui's mechanical transport units away, completely unaware of what was happening. The evacuation proceeded smoothly, taking less than an hour." His voice turned smug. "These people - or rather, hostages - are now hidden in a location only Doctor Sui and I know. Should anything happen to us, they'll perish with us. You'll never find them!" He cackled like a cliché villain. "Understood, heroes? You'd better obey me, or else..."
"Hey! What do you think you're doing messing with the intercom?!"
"Who cares? Give me back the walkie-talkie!"
"Silence! This part should be delivered by me! I am the great, the evil..."
"Nonsense! Without my planning, you'd accomplish nothing but churning out mindless killing machines!"
"Who are you calling mindless with your inventions?"
Though they tried whispering, their argument blared through the speakers for Feng Bu Jue's group to hear in full.
"You mean me, you science-obsessed loser, Luthor, you're useless without me!" The mayor's rant turned to a scream as his voice suddenly cut off.
A few seconds of silence followed.
Then Doctor Sui's voice crackled through. "Ahem! Ohohohahaha! Listen well, intruders! I am the great, the evil..."
"You dare shoot me with a laser gun?!" Doctor Sui's voice was cut short by a shriek.
Two distinct weapon discharge sounds echoed, followed by silence.
A few seconds later...
"I am the great, the evil, the invincible..."
"Yowch! You bastard! I'll make you pay for that!"
Boom!
Another explosion-like sound interrupted the pained scream.
Doctor Sui sighed heavily through the intercom, his voice now slightly shaky. "Listen well, heroes. Forget that fool earlier - I'm in command here!" He paused, realization dawning. "Hey! Why have all the surveillance bots lost signal? Why can't the building cameras detect anyone? Where did the heroes go? Hey! Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Chief! What's happening?!"
At that moment, in a blind spot of the surveillance system deep within Zhazhazha Planet Government Building...
"This corner happens to be a surveillance blind spot", Feng Bu Jue explained to the two heroes beside him. He opened his palm, revealing two insect-like metal devices resting there. "If you notice anything similar nearby, dispose of it immediately."
