Exploding God

If it's a construct mech, then all the doubts are resolved.

Free City is not a battle fortress on the edge of the mist; construct mechs are strictly prohibited from operating within the city. If construct mechs were to enter, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"That's right. First, we can rule out the bulky [Berserker] mech. It's impossible for a weapon of war of that size to bypass our sight and enter the underground black market." Zhu Li's expression remained unchanged, and her speech was consistently calm.

"The [Elemental] mech can be ruled out again. Its ability to float for extended periods of time becomes its biggest disadvantage within the Free City barrier."

"The Ranger mech is also unlikely, after all, its size is second only to the Berserker, and its weapons and ammunition types even exceed those of the latter."

"Therefore, the [Sharpshooter] with long-range attack capabilities and the [Fighter] with super mobility are the most likely candidates for this second encirclement!!"

As if she had thought of something, Zhu Li pursed her lips and her speech quickened by a third.

"The inventor of the [Melting Point] virus was able to remind us that he is safe, meaning that the mysterious mole mercenary group's operation has failed, and this failure might be... the signal to launch a second operation!"

"We are about to be attacked." When Zhu Li said her last words, her eyes were somewhat dazed, and a sense of defeat welled up in her heart.

Only after the analysis was completed did they discover that everything had been under the control of the virus inventor they had never met, and that they even needed the other party's reminder to discover the counterattack set up by the mole mercenaries.

"So, thanks to that Mr. Melting Point, we knew the future a minute in advance."

Wang Chuxiong stood up with a cold smile. "From this moment forward, I, as the team leader, hereby announce that the mission objective has been changed to..."

"Suppress Changyang Street! Do not allow the aftermath of the battle to spread further."

"yes!"

Inside the kitchen, everyone responded in unison.

……

……

Chaos began to brew.

First, the unrest started inside the Fengyun Network Center, and then it began to spread to the surrounding areas.

After the fully armed men in leather jackets rushed out, they began throwing smoke bombs everywhere. Cries and screams mingled together, creating a large net that covered the area.

However, Shadow 257, who was leading the team, had a slight doubt in his heart.

Why haven't Liberty City's defenses made any move yet?

"Continue creating chaos and advance towards objective B!"

Shadow257 immediately suppressed this doubt in his heart and spoke again in a harsh voice. The failure of the capture operation had already put him at a disadvantage in his confrontation with the commander, and there was absolutely no way he would ask that cold guy again now.

Although he disliked the mysterious commander, he still trusted his abilities deep down regarding the capture...

The organization definitely has a backup plan!

……

In stark contrast to the chaos outside, the back alley of the Fengyun Network Center was unusually quiet.

Jin Chenghui followed Lu Ze through the crowd, his face anxious like an ant on a hot pan, but he hesitated to speak several times.

Look at this, it doesn't look like an escape at all.

This is more like a walk!

Brother, you can go for a walk, but I don't want to.

"Are you wondering?" Lu Ze seemed to hear Jin Chenghui's inner turmoil and asked calmly.

"Big brother, you finally spoke up!" Jin Chenghui's eyes welled up with tears, finally finding an outlet for his pent-up anger. "We practically forced their cyber expert to commit suicide! Shouldn't the first thing we did after all that be running away? Now, in a whole minute, a full minute, we've only walked 60 meters!!"

"Can't you just say what you want to do? If the pursuers catch up, we might... Waaah... I miss my grandma."

Kim Sung-hui's voice finally choked with emotion.

After all, he's just a child!

"Shh...listen." Lu Ze stopped and held up a finger.

Jin Chenghui was stunned for a moment, and soon he heard frantic shouts, the sound of running in large groups, and the sound of gunshots getting farther and farther away.

"Are you saying that the crowd is rioting, the enemy has gone far away, and so we're safe?"

"We'll be safe soon."

Lu Ze walked forward calmly, his voice slowly reaching behind him, "From now on, you and I will maintain a distance of 20 meters until it is completely safe."

Jin Chenghui's pupils constricted. He understood the implication in Lu Ze's words and couldn't help but ask, "You mean, we're actually in danger now!?"

"Sharp thinking," Lu Ze praised, adding, "We can certainly assume that the monitor's death was due to the other party's inability to stop it."

"But if we look at it another way, perhaps the death of the monitor is a prerequisite for triggering the next killing move? Thinking about it this way, things become..."

"……interesting!"

Just as Lu Ze stepped out of the alley, the moment he uttered the first word, the power of the Star Source in his mind suddenly dropped by a quarter as if a flood had been released, and the second word fell with a cold and murderous chill.

At that moment, the entire world suddenly froze.

In his pupils, a deep purple, bead-like bullet was frozen in mid-air, less than half a meter away from him, with intricate and winding cracks on its plasma-encircled head.

—Electromagnetic decoy.

The moment the bullet enters the human body, it will explode into a high-pressure electric grid that covers the entire body, enough to paralyze and suppress anyone instantly, even a 6-star warrior who is capable of establishing a sect in a city.

No one expected that this so-called backup plan would be so close at hand.

However, a variable ultimately emerged, a terrifying variable that transcended the rules—the golden pointer within Lu Ze's sea of ​​consciousness could passively trigger a time stop.

Lu Ze remained calm, his left hand behind his back, and the next instant his right hand swung naturally, it lightly brushed the side of the bullet like a sudden breeze, his two fingers interlaced, and his index finger gently flicked out to tap.

The bullet smoothly slid 30 centimeters to the side, creating beautiful ripples in the frozen air.

0.4 seconds passed in a flash.

The gears of time, frozen in time, began to turn again, and the world resumed its state of motion.

No one knows what happened in those 0.4 seconds except Lu Ze.

The red mech standing at the end of the alley only saw... an electric grid spread across the wall behind the boy.

The young man, with his left hand behind his back and his right wrist raised, with two fingers slightly bent, exuded the grand and imposing aura of a chess player making a move to slay a dragon.

With his slightly drooping eyelids lifted gently, Lu Ze stood still, looking straight ahead with a detached gaze, his eyes filled with mockery and pity.

Jin Chenghui, who hadn't even reached the corner, stopped in horror, staring in disbelief at the azure fireworks spreading across the wall. That...that was clearly—

Decoy missiles used by the construct mechs!

A waterfall of cold sweat poured from his entire body, and Jin Chenghui's legs felt like lead as he stood rooted to the spot.

"Gene Warrior".

A voice devoid of emotion came from ahead. The scarlet electronic eyeballs, streamlined scale armor, inverted triangular body outline, and chilling arm blade design gave this fighter mech a sharp and murderous aura.

"The target is beside you?" In Dominic's vision, infrared imaging showed a heat source reaction of a human body outline beside the kid in front of him.

Therefore, so far, all the variables have been under the commander's control.

"Then you can die."

As Dominic crossed his arms, he drew two cold steel daggers from his waist with his backhand, gently brought them together, and a winding snake blade emerged in the sparks, causing the air in the entire alley to freeze for a moment.

The King of Close Combat [Fighter] mech has never earned its name for nothing. Even though he was only piloting the first-generation Fighter [Rainbow Stream], it was still far superior to the frail bodies of humans.

What's more, he personally possesses the strength of a 6-star warrior!

Dominic's words were like a cold wind from Siberia, freezing Jin Chenghui's heart to the bone.

He looked at Lu Ze, at Lu Ze's sharply defined profile, his gaze flashing with complex emotions. He opened his mouth dryly, then gave a bitter smile.

Perhaps, from the moment he wrote "Melting Point," his fate was already sealed.

The other party wants to arrest me, so before I leave, I should do something that I can live with myself. I should be worth the price of exchanging one life for another.

When the internal struggle ended, Jin Chenghui found himself inexplicably calm.

"Brother Ze, thank you..."

He looked at Lu Ze's profile and spoke his heartfelt words with the most sincere tone he had used in the past 15 years.

then……

He saw that Lu Ze's left hand, which was behind his back, showed no intention of pulling it out. He merely moved his eyelids and calmly gazed ahead with his bright eyes.

He also heard the words that almost made him wet himself on the spot.

"Mere mortals are nothing but ants..."

"Commendable courage."
