Be good and wait for me

Bang!!!

The pursuing‍​​⁠‍‍⁠​‍‌‌‍​‍⁠​‍‍‍‍​‌⁠‍ onlookers let out a gasp of shock.

At that moment, Huo Xianfeng smashed a massive pillar with one hand, but as it shattered, countless tentacle-like red light bands swiftly wrapped around him, mixed with extremely thin black needles.

The young man quickly retreated, his instincts warning him not to touch these things.

This was probably the first time Huo Xianfeng had encountered a difficult situation since waking up on Earth.

Three minutes ago, some of these light orbs flew out, rapidly transforming and interlocking in the air to form several gigantic pillars, each twenty to thirty meters tall, and crashed down around him like divine punishment.

They formed a strange formation, and the sky filled with dense metal spheres, almost completely blocking all his escape routes; It was as if they intended to trap him and capture him alive.

Huo Xianfeng glanced at the wound on his wrist and narrowed his eyes slightly.

—His healing process had slowed down.

These light balls appeared to be weapons specifically designed to combat the Zergs.

He quickly understood why he had lost contact with Nora earlier, as these weapons were almost perfectly tailored to counter the Zergs’ reckless, direct, and brutal fighting style, and they also restrained their healing abilities.

Just as Huo Xianfeng narrowly dodged the light bands and momentarily froze in mid-air, a giant axe slashed down from above, tracing a fan-shaped arc in the air, aiming directly at his head!

Anyone else would have been split in two pieces on the spot. In the blink of an eye, the black-haired young man tilted his head, grabbed the back of the axe with one hand, and flipped over it in a way that seemed impossible for a human body.

He stomped on the axe blade.

Boom!

The giant axe embedded itself into the ground, creating a massive crater, and the stone surface shattered into many spiderweb-like cracks.

But it wasn’t over yet. Huo Xianfeng swiftly ran along the long handle of the giant axe, launching an attack on the enormous mechanical warrior, his whole body like a piercing spear.

Behind the young man, countless red tentacle-like light bands chased after him, filled with densely packed black needles.

Just as Huo Xianfeng was about to reach the warrior’s throat, he suddenly flipped down, his form merging into the large shadow behind the man.

Swish, swish, swish!

The pursuing light bands and needles had no time to dodge and directly pierced into the mechanical warrior’s body.

Pssiisshhh—

Instantly, countless dense holes appeared on his throat.

“Oh my god…!” someone exclaimed in a daze and shock—Even Cecilia’s pupils unconsciously dilated.

Although Kuru was her creation, if she really faced him head-on, she couldn’t handle it so effortlessly, especially if she was surrounded like he was.

Such… terrifying combat power.

Not just speed and strength, but also combat prediction and skills, everything was almost perfect.

Cecilia lowered her eyes.

“No wonder…”

No wonder so many people said he resembled Huo Chao…

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

What could be that SSS-class asset which was even more valuable than the Son of God?

But even so, relying on just these so-called exquisite combat skills wouldn’t be enough to break through the encirclement.

—Huo Xianfeng certainly knew this too.

The appearance of these strange light orbs was unexpected; he knew Bright City’s security, weaponry, and defenses might surpass the First Legion’s, but he hadn’t anticipated the specialized anti-Zerg weapons hidden here.

Even the light spheres began to tremble slightly. Though they were supposed to be lifeless mechanical creations, they seemed to cower in fear,

—Extreme fear.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!!!

The rapid explosions were like a string of firecrackers, with each boom following the previous one before it had finished. The red tentacle light bands shattered into fragments, and a thick layer of bloody and sticky debris piled up on the ground.

It was like a pile of rotting, blood-red petals.¹

“……….”

In that instant, there was complete silence all around; a dead silence. Everyone’s eyes widened, and their facial muscles twitched uncontrollably due to shock.

What had just happened?

They didn’t know…

No one knew what had happened; they only saw the strange young man raise his eyes, and all the light orbs exploded instantly.

“That guy’s eyes…”

“Are they really… human?”

“……”

At this moment, Huo Xianfeng quietly stretched out his hand, which was covered in a pale pink fluid. The liquid ran down his fingers like tears, dripping off at the ground.

— It was the brain fluid of the Zergs.

Because ordinary mechanical constructs couldn’t perform such agile movements that resembled those of living beings.

So when he saw them for the first time, Huo Xianfeng had this suspicion.

He had originally wanted to confirm it again and gather more information, but time was too short now.

The young man tapped the biological chip implanted behind his ear, took a deep breath, and slowed his voice:

“Hello?”

“……”

There was a loud and noisy noise, messy footsteps, and gunshots from the other side… After a full ten seconds or so, he finally heard the familiar and urgent panting of the omega.

“Huo… Huo Xianfeng?”

The voice sounded anxious, nervous, panicked, with a hint of imperceptible joy and a quivering tone.

“—Where the hell have you been?!!”

“……”

Huo Xianfeng was silent for a few seconds, then turned around, his gaze sweeping over the towering temple tower that almost reached into the clouds and finally settling on the level where explosions were occurring.

“Be good, wait for me for two minutes.”

“……”

Jiang Ci froze.

This, this was simply the tone you’d use to soothe a child.

He blinked his sore eyes, feeling a slight sting in his eyes, then headshotted the red-eyed alpha in front of him. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and continued running.

“…Just one minute!”

Huo Xianfeng raised his eyes, which reflected the gathering mechas and fighter jets converging from all directions aiming at his direction, and he quietly replied:

“Okay.”

M1zushi: the body horror tag is for the zergs bcs the church is BRUTAL

fair warning for gore but the mechanical barriers made from zergs are probably something like this. the Pope treated the Geneva Convention as a to-do list 💀💀
