The armored vehicles that had collided were already unrecognizable; their thick armor provided no real protection. Under Lu Yi's immense power, the two armored vehicles were crushed together.
The soldiers inside were ground into mush—the red and white mixture slowly oozing out through the gaps between the vehicles.
Gasps filled the scene. When they saw this, their eyes could not hide the fear.
Living lives were transformed in an instant...
The change was so sudden they barely had time to react.
Then, before they could take any action, Lu Yi's figure disappeared again and swiftly reappeared in front of another armored vehicle.
With every flash, an armored vehicle would be struck by a fist or a kick, slammed into another vehicle, and then turned into scrap metal. The soldiers inside were without exception blasted into pulp. In just one second, all armored vehicles equipped with ultrasonic and laser weapons were completely destroyed—none remained.
The general's final hope was shattered.
"Why? Why is this happening?" the general murmured, his face pale.
In his base, these were the most powerful weapons he could control at the moment—but they were useless against Lu Yi. He was growing desperate! Was this the only way?
He couldn't help but ask himself that question.
But at that moment, he suddenly recalled Lu Yi's earlier contempt.
Especially Lu Yi's gaze at the time—it pierced his heart and made him lose face in front of his subordinates.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely unwilling!
That unwillingness drove him, making his eyes bloodshot, like a beast driven to a dead end. He asked the person behind him, "We still have Jericho missiles in the arsenal, right?"
"Yes!"
"And missiles with nuclear warheads?"
"This…"
He was terrifying at that moment, even asking about nuclear warheads. That made the man very worried, afraid the general might do something terrible.
Were there any left?
"There is one missile—with a low-yield nuclear warhead!" the man gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to answer.
"Excellent. Prepare to launch!"
"This…"
"Do you have a problem?" The general glared fiercely at the one who dared oppose his orders.
"N-no…"
"Prepare to launch!"
"Should we recall the soldiers on the battlefield?"
"Unnecessary!"
"What? General, you can't do that!" a staff officer shouted instinctively upon hearing that.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers densely packed on the battlefield. Even a less powerful missile could wipe them all out.
A low-yield nuclear warhead would explode—and everyone would die.
Ordering the slaughter of tens of thousands of soldiers was a crime. He could be sent to a military court—execution wouldn't be too heavy a sentence. He didn't want to die, he couldn't let the general keep going.
What was wrong with the general?
Damn it, if you want to go crazy, go alone. If you want to die, don't drag us along! Just a general—so what? Just disobeying orders—so what? I'm right!
"So you're not going to obey?"
"For the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, forgive me. Let alone a nuclear warhead—the missile must never be launched again!"
"Then how do you plan to deal with that monster?"
"No need to fight. Surrender! It's the only way to preserve our strength. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers must not be wasted!"
"Coward!"
"You think you're so brave? If you were, why are you hiding here? Get out there! Don't think I don't know that monster is here for you. The two beside him are from S.H.I.E.L.D., and the President has ordered your arrest!" the staff officer said, with an expression as if he had seen through everything.
"How do you know?"
"If you don't want others to know, don't do it! You think capturing those people would keep it hidden? Hmph! I also received information from the President! I thought it was fake at first, but seeing how crazy you're acting now—it must be true."
"Is that so?"
"Now do you understand? It's too late. I order an immediate surrender!"
The staff officer picked up the communicator and ordered all soldiers to surrender.
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out.
A bullet hole appeared in the staff officer's chest, and blood began to slowly spurt out like a small fountain.
He weakly pressed his hand against the wound, as if trying to stop it, but the blood could not be blocked. It streamed through his fingers, staining his clothes red.
"You…"
The staff officer used all his strength to try to turn toward the general but only managed to utter one word before collapsing to the ground—motionless. He was dead!
"Anyone else? Anyone else want to stop me?" The general held the still-smoking pistol and anxiously shouted. After what happened to the staff officer, who would dare? It had all happened so suddenly. Lu Yi suddenly stormed in. He was the only one with a gun. Seeing that smoking black muzzle, who else dared oppose?
Under the general's gaze, everyone in the command vehicle involuntarily lowered their heads, silently showing they didn't dare…
"First launch the Jericho missile, then the one with the nuclear warhead. I'll blow that monster to pieces!" The general burst into wild laughter.
Madness!
Utter madness!
The people in the command vehicle looked at each other. Seeing the general's current state, their faces turned grim, filled with fear for their own safety.
