We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

The precision electronic components inside the force gauge could not withstand this pressure that defied the common sense of physics, and it exploded into a blinding fireball on the spot.

Thick black smoke billowed out.

This is not over yet.

The twelve expansion steel nails, firmly embedded in the concrete floor, were uprooted by this enormous force.

The base of the heavy-duty force gauge, weighing five tons, was completely lifted off the ground.

The entire three-meter-tall metal instrument traced an extremely crude parabola in mid-air.

It flew straight out and went more than ten meters away.

Boom!

The metal lump slammed heavily against the brick and stone wall at the edge of the playground.

A large section of the three-meter-high wall collapsed on the spot, with bricks and cement debris flying everywhere.

The force gauge rolled twice in the ruins and was completely reduced to a pile of twisted scrap metal.

Sparks were still crackling on the broken wires.

The audience was silent.

The wind and snow continued to blow, but the breathing of the dozens of special forces elites had completely stopped.

The half-smoked cigarette that Lei Hu was holding in his mouth fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes, which had seen countless deaths, were wide open at that moment, and his jaw remained agape for a long time.

Chen Feng, who had just been shouting wildly, found his legs trembling slightly uncontrollably.

He looked at the collapsed wall, then at Lin Ye, who was standing there without even catching his breath.

thump.

Chen Feng's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the snow.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through his tactical vest.

This is power that no human could possibly unleash!

Without any internal energy, he relied solely on his physical body to send a five-ton iron lump flying more than ten meters with a single punch!

If this hits a person, let alone a martial artist at the Transformation Realm, even a Grandmaster would not be able to piece together a complete corpse.

Chen Feng recalled the scene of him pointing his finger at Lin Ye and yelling at him, and felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

If the other party had even the slightest temper, I would already be a pile of minced meat.

The edge of the playground.

Lin Ye withdrew his right hand and patted the metal shavings stuck to the back of his hand with extreme disgust.

He looked at the pile of scrap metal smashed in the ruins, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Old Zhao also said that the military region's stuff is of good quality," Lin Ye muttered with a displeased look. "This titanium alloy is as brittle as a potato chip; it exploded without any cushioning."

Lin Ye turned around, stepping on the cement shards scattered on the ground, and slowly walked back to his original spot.

He walked up to Xia Wanqiu and took back the half-bag of tomato-flavored potato chips that he had just given her.

"Crunch."

Lin Ye popped a potato chip into his mouth.

He raised his head, looked at Lei Hu who was still frozen in place, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Commander Lei, right?" Lin Ye pointed to the collapsed wall. "Let me state beforehand that this machine has serious quality defects and is the result of false advertising."

"This is normal equipment wear and tear."

"Remember to seek compensation from the manufacturer later. The repair costs and the cost of the bricks for the wall absolutely cannot be deducted from my business trip allowance."

Lin Ye looked wary, fearing that the military region would make him pay compensation.

Lei Hu finally came to his senses.

He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

Soldiers have the utmost respect for the strong, especially for such an ultimate monster whose strength completely exceeds their comprehension.

Lei Hu strode up to Lin Ye.

His feet snapped together, his boots making a dull thud on the snow.

He raised his uninjured left hand and gave Lin Ye a very standard and very forceful military salute.

"Greetings, Major General!"

Lei Hu roared with all his might, his voice rough and hoarse.

"The entire Special Operations Brigade of the Northwest Military Region swears to obey General Lin's orders to the death!"

Chen Feng, who had been slumped on the ground, scrambled to his feet and, along with dozens of special forces soldiers, stood at attention and saluted in unison.

"We swear to obey General Lin's orders to the death!"

The roars of dozens of tough men combined, shaking off the wind and snow overhead.

All the previous contempt, anger, and resentment vanished completely at this moment.

With a humanoid nuclear weapon of this caliber leading the team, they would dare to charge into any obstacle, not just the blockade of the Western Extraordinary Alliance, but even mountains of knives and seas of fire.

Lin Ye was startled by the sudden, deafening roar, and almost dropped the potato chips in his hand.

"Alright, alright, stop shouting, it's deafening."

Lin Ye waved his hand and poured the last bit of potato chip crumbs into his mouth.

"Stop dawdling and let's go."

Lin Ye threw the empty bag into the trash can next to him and turned to look at Lei Hu.

"Prepare three heavy-duty off-road vehicles, filled with fuel."

"Get my finance staff two sets of the thickest winter gear."

Lin Ye pointed to the pile of colorful supplies on the tarmac.

"Load all these self-heating hot pots and cola into the car."

"Let's set off right now and get to work in the mountains." Lin Ye yawned. "The sooner we get rid of those foreigners, the sooner I can get back to Jiangcheng and continue my ranked matches."

······

Ten minutes later.

Three heavy armored off-road vehicles with military license plates roared out of the military region gate.

The wheels rolled over the thick snow, heading straight for the uninhabited area deep in the Kunlun Mountains.

A blizzard blotted out the sky and the sun.

Visibility was less than ten meters, and the temperature had dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

Three heavy armored off-road vehicles with military license plates struggled through knee-deep snow, their tire chains crunching and creaking as they rolled over the ice.

On the driver's seat of the lead vehicle.

Lei Hu gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring intently at the white snowstorm ahead.

The passenger seat.

Lin Ye held a steaming box of self-heating tomato and beef brisket hot pot.

He picked up a slice of fatty beef roll soaked in broth, blew on it twice, and put it in his mouth.

"This awful weather," Lin Ye complained while chewing on beef. "Old Zhao is really inhuman, sending people on business trips in minus thirty degrees Celsius. I wonder if there's any high-altitude cold weather allowance. I have to make him make sure I get my full allowance for severe weather when we get back."

back row.

Xia Wanqiu laid out a military topographic map on her lap, holding a powerful flashlight in her hand, and carefully checked the route.

"Lin Ye, if we go another ten kilometers, we'll reach the absolute lockdown zone of the secret realm." Xia Wanqiu pointed to a red circle on the map. "The Western Alliance's advance team should be operating in this area. We need to be careful..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A rapid, synthesized electronic voice suddenly rang in Lin Ye's mind.

[Ding! High-energy heat source detected 1,000 meters ahead!]

Quantity: Thirty!

[The target is extremely hostile; the host's convoy has been located!]

Lin Ye put down his chopsticks and tore off a tissue to wipe his mouth.

"Stop the car," Lin Ye said.

Lei Hu paused for a moment, then slammed on the brakes.

The heavy off-road vehicle slid two meters across the snow before coming to a steady stop. The two vehicles behind it also turned on their brake lights.

"General Lin, what's wrong?" Lei Hu asked, looking out through the windshield with a puzzled expression.

Outside, you could see nothing but snowflakes flying everywhere.

"There are robberies ahead." Lin Ye unbuckled his seatbelt.

He opened the car door.

A sudden gust of wind, mixed with snowflakes, rushed into the carriage.

Lin Ye got out of the car and turned to give a message to the people inside.

"Lock the car doors and turn the heat up. Don't let the wind cool down my hot pot; I haven't eaten that slice of beef yet."

boom.

The car door closed.

Lei Hu and Xia Wanqiu watched through the car window as Lin Ye, with his hands in his pockets, slowly walked into the snowstorm.
