The patrol vehicle was instantly overturned by the towering man, sending the Alliance soldiers inside into a chaotic frenzy as they scrambled to escape. Yet, the giant leapt onto the vehicle and with a fierce tug, ripped the entire door off its hinges. Tossing the door aside casually, he proceeded to haul each soldier out one by one, flinging them into the nearby thicket like helpless rabbits.
Within the dense foliage, Kerry and his team swiftly subdued the prisoners and began changing into their uniforms.
After dispatching the soldiers, the giant dragged the overturned vehicle into the underbrush, expertly concealing it from view.
As Kerry changed, he glanced at the giant and smiled wryly, "Big guy, it seems these uniforms aren't quite made for you."
The giant scanned the surroundings with a hint of regret, "What am I supposed to do then?"
"Stay here and wait. Just a few of us need to go inside. If danger arises, you'll be ready to come to our rescue," Kerry said with a grin.
The giant nodded resolutely, "You're right. I'll wait here. If anything happens, just call on me—I'll tear those soldiers to shreds."
Meanwhile, Louise began changing as well. She shed her professional attire, then slowly removed her shirt without hesitation before the eyes of the men around her, revealing delicate black lace beneath and her flawless alabaster skin. Her sensuality stunned the men into silence.
As she donned the military uniform, Louise teased the men, "How do I look?"
"Stunning…"
"Absolutely gorgeous!"
"Undeniably alluring…"
The men bantered lightheartedly, but Kerry, already fully dressed, called them to order, "Focus, everyone. This is no time for jokes."
Adjusting his uniform, Kerry strode from the thicket, opting to carry only a pistol at his hip rather than a rifle.
They formed a neat patrol formation, advancing toward the command center without arousing suspicion from passing soldiers.
Upon entering, Louise pulled out a computer. "The command center is on the sixth floor."
"We'll split up. I'll take the elevator; you use other routes," Kerry instructed.
Following his orders, the psychics dispersed. Xiao Feng stood before the elevator as it descended slowly. When the doors opened, several officers emerged. Kerry, perfectly embodying a soldier, saluted crisply before stepping inside. Just as the doors began to close, he reached up, pried open the escape hatch, and slipped into the elevator shaft, swiftly climbing the maintenance ladder to the third floor.
...
Inside Black Whale City's command center, an alarmed surveillance officer suddenly raised his hand. "Report, sir! Unidentified armed forces detected due south of Black Whale City!"
A major in uniform approached, staring intently at the monitor, then froze.
The screen displayed satellite footage showing a convoy racing forward, dust billowing like a golden dragon sweeping across the land.
The major furrowed his brow. "Can we get a vehicle count?"
"Approximately fifty, sir. And... look here..." The officer pointed to another sector where twenty armed helicopters breached the city's air defense perimeter. "More armed helicopters—what is their objective?"
The major's expression darkened. "Immediately scramble all fighters. Destroy them before they breach our defensive perimeter. Under no circumstances can they get any closer."
"Yes, sir."
As the clerk attempted to coordinate with the airport, his hand froze. The voice on the other end was unfamiliar—and chilling, punctuated by a sinister chuckle. "Ahahaha… Hello? Who are you looking for?"
"Who is this?" The clerk's unease grew. Previously, emergency calls to the airport had always been answered by a sweet female voice, but now, a strange man with a foreign accent spoke, sending a cold dread through his mind.
"Ha! You want to know who I am? No use telling you—all of you are doomed!"
"What do you mean?"
"Hahaha, I'll never tell you. One thing though—the airport is now under my control!"
The clerk's face paled. "Sir, the airport has been compromised!"
"What?!"
"It appears to have been seized."
"Damn it! Deploy forces immediately to retake the airport!" The major's composure faltered. Without air support, facing these forces was a daunting prospect—even with two divisions stationed here, their combat effectiveness paled in comparison to the X Legion.
At that moment, the command center's door suddenly swung open, and a tall, slender figure entered slowly.
"Who are you? This is a restricted area—get out at once!" the major snapped, visibly agitated, waving the man away.
The figure smiled coolly. "Not welcome, Major?"
The major stared, a flash of recognition crossing his features. The intruder removed his patrol helmet, tossing back his golden hair with effortless charm. His striking visage instantly captivated every woman present.
"Director Kerry?" The major exclaimed in disbelief. "What business do you have here, dressed as one of my soldiers?"
"Heh, care to guess?"
The major's eyes widened sharply. "Your men are in the airport as well?"
Kerry smiled enigmatically. "Keep guessing."
Anger and deadly intent flared in the major's gaze as he reached for his pistol—the weapon never far from his side.
But before he could draw, Kerry sprang forward, closing the distance in an instant, flashing a chilling smile like Death itself as he locked eyes with the major…
