Chapter 842.1: The Power of the Sun!

— Kill them all!

— Motherfuckers, go to Daddy!

A large group of Apocalyptic Paradise contractors rushed into the first floor of the palace, but they were met with a very awkward scene.

There wasn't even a ghost on the first floor. The entire floor seemed to be completely empty.

Many contractors were stunned and didn't know what they needed to do — go further? What if it's all one big trap??

The Queen looked around. Her expression wasn't very good, not because of the empty floor, but because of the suppression of perception. Right now, she could only sense four meters around her due to the influence of this palace.

In the end, she turned to contractors with scanning skills in hopes of getting some information, but they were just as limited as she was — no matter what skill was used, at best they could only probe four meters around them.

— Queen, what should we do? The female gunslinger asked. She usually considered the Queen her mainstay.

— Search everything and everything, if there are no enemies on the first floor, we will leave a hundred people to guard the three passageways, and the main group will continue to climb up.

As soon as the Queen's new order went out, all the contractors of Apocalyptic Paradise started to inspect the first floor.

The first floor was a bit confusing and was divided into parts by rooms that were connected to each other, which made it a bit of a chore to comb through the floor, but in the end, they didn't even find a small mouse, let alone people.

The Queen was baffled. Yes, she had a higher IQ than a normal person, but her opponent clearly didn't think like normal people did.

According to normal logic, their enemies should have tried to hold them off at least three entrances to the palace. Once the passageway defenses were to collapse, they would have to step back, and this process would have to be repeated time after time.

The Queen's head was starting to hurt, but she had to make a decision as soon as possible.

After a moment's thought, the Queen decided to lead the men up to the second floor, leaving a hundred contractors to guard the entrances so that they wouldn't be attacked from both sides if anything happened.

A large group of Apocalyptic Paradise rushed to the second floor a minute later, but this time, their momentum was clearly weaker than before.

With confused expressions on their faces, they found themselves on the second floor...

When the Queen went up to the second floor, her thin brows furrowed, because on the wall opposite the entrance was written in very large letters the following: "Idiots, do not look for us on this floor, as on the first, there is no one here».

The Queen took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Now she was sure that she was facing an enemy who was playing by very different rules.

— What should we do? The female gunslinger asked. She was obviously speechless from the message as well.

— Let's start the search. If there's no one here either, we'll leave a hundred men to protect the passageway, but they should be ready to go up to help at any moment.

The contractors of Apocalyptic Paradise gradually dispersed on the second floor, but ten seconds later...

*BOOM!*

There was an explosion. Inside the sealed second floor, this explosion sound could only be described as "very loud».

Flames suddenly burst out of the room, and several contractors who were engulfed in flames immediately ran out of it. They were shouting and roaring loudly. A couple of particularly unlucky contractors had their arms and legs blown off.

*BOOM-BOOM-BOOM...*

Explosions began to ring out one after another. In just a minute, more than a dozen Apocalyptic Paradise contractors had died. Since the perception of all the people in this palace was suppressed to a minimum, many contractors were simply unable to detect the planted bombs.

After the explosions subsided, the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the second floor.

In the end, it took them twenty minutes just to find out that there were no more bombs on the second floor — all of them detonated.

— Queen, what do we need?.. just as the female gunslinger was about to say something, the Queen waved her hand.

— Let's leave the people near the passageway and continue climbing.

A large army moved towards the third floor. When they arrived at the third floor, everyone saw a familiar handwriting at the entrance.

«Don't worry, there's no one on the third floor either, and there aren't any bombs here, either».

The contractors of Apocalyptic Paradise didn't believe it, of course, so they carefully dispersed to the third floor.

However, in the end, they were all surprised, as they found that there was indeed no one and nothing on the third floor, and the passage that led to the fourth floor was not guarded by anyone.

The Queen's intuition at this point screamed that something was definitely wrong, but since they were the attacking party, they couldn't stop there.

As for sending scouts to the next floor... Who could they have sent? Would anyone want to become a scout in the current situation? There were no madmen among them who were not afraid of death.

The Queen looked at the bracelet on her wrist. If her sister was still alive, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

— The Queen, I'm going to go upstairs, " the female gunslinger said, and started toward the fourth-floor stairwell, but the Queen didn't stop her in the end.

Soon, the female shooter reported that there was no one on the fourth floor either.

The Queen hesitated for a moment, but still decided to lead her people to the fourth floor, however, this time, she left a little less than two hundred people on the third floor.

She decided to proceed very cautiously.

And the Queen's approach was correct. She divided her men in relatively equal proportions on different floors of the palace, as she was afraid of some trap. After all, right now, none of them knew what might be lurking in this palace.

Soon, the Queen brought about 300 contractors to the fourth floor. This floor was very different from the lower floors. It was much emptier, and for the most part had no rooms — on this floor there were only wide, spacious corridors.
