Chapter 665 - Crush
A raging sandstorm covered the sky like an angry beast!
The Mei nation soldiers in the battle tank that shot the shell could vaguely see a shadow within the sandstorm leaping to a height of about ten meters. Then it smashed into the battle tank that they were driving.
BONK!
There was a loud blast, and the soldiers in the tank suffered a nasty shock that was equivalent to a magnitude-ten earthquake. After the tank stabilized, the four soldiers inside gasped when they realized that Xiao Luo was standing on the roof of their tank.
CLANK!
Then the men heard someone forcing the hatch open above them. A handsome-looking face peered down the hatchway.
“God, help us, God, help us...”
The four men were so scared for their lives that they were breaking out in a cold sweat. They stared at Xiao Luo with deathly pale faces. They were shaking as they prayed to God for help. In their minds, Xiao Luo was a demon.
“God can’t do sh*t for you!”
Xiao Luo sneered as he grabbed hold of the turret and pulled it off the tank. He raised the turret that weighed more than a ton with one hand, and the three operators inside the tank fell out like dumplings. The driver who was in the main body of the tank opened the hatch. He shouted and screamed as he tried to run away from Xiao Luo.
WHOP! WHOP! WHOP!
The combat helicopter streaked in, locking onto Xiao Luo, and fired its stinger missiles with no hesitation.
Whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!
The stinger missiles flew like mini rockets, screaming through the air toward their target with an ear-piercing screech. It had locked onto Xiao Luo.
“Come down now!”
Xiao Luo roared. He grabbed onto the barrel of the turret with both hands and swung it around before he launched the turret toward the combat helicopter.
The heavy turret flew into the sky, knocked the stinger missiles off their trajectories, and headed straight for the combat helicopter.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The stinger missiles exploded loudly as they hit the surface of the turret, but caused no damage as it was constructed of thick composite materials and reinforced by reactive armor plates. The pilot could do no more than to stare at the incoming turret, heading directly at him with wide-eyed fear.
Boom~
As the turret smashed into the combat helicopter, another loud explosion reverberated across the desert. The chopper came spiraling down and blew up when it hit the ground. A mushroom cloud formed and rose into the air. The force of the impact sent a massive amount of sand into the air, and the entire Mojave Desert shook.
Xiao Luo smiled with satisfaction. He looked further down the desert and sighted a row of battle tanks on one side and fighting vehicles with heavy machine guns, opposite them. In the sky, several more combat helicopters were flying toward him.
He sneered, “This is indeed a state with strong military power. What a large force!” Then his tone changed, and his eyes turned icy cold. “But you can all forget about going home. You will all remain in this desert forever,” he said.
As soon as he said that, his internal force activated and engulfed the entire surface of his body. Like a humanoid beast, he went on a rampage. He collided into the battle tanks as he sped through the desert, knocking them upside down, while others were half-buried in the sand.
The sound of heavy machine-gun fire was relentless, but none of the bullets struck Xiao Luo and fell harmlessly to the ground. Xiao Luo smashed his way across the desert, stirring up sand several meters high. Along his destructive path, he smashed a fighting vehicle in two.
His method of countering the combat helicopters was simple but cruel. He flung used broken parts of the fighting vehicles at the combat helicopters like they were cannonballs.
As the attack went on, the sounds of screams and never-ending explosions continued.
Metal fragments from the smashed-up battle tanks, fighting vehicles, and combat helicopters lay scattered around the entire area. Fumes filled the air, and the fire from the explosions kept burning. The scene at the battle site was a terrifying sight.
“What a scary demon... That is a scary demon!”
“God, help us, God, help us. Amen!”
“Who can stop him? Someone, please stop this demon!”
At the underground base in Washington, the ministers could hear the desperate screams of the soldiers who had come into contact with Xiao Luo. They were not calling in to report but had forgotten to turn off their communication devices. The nerve-wracking screams of fear that came through the speakers when those soldiers encountered Xiao Luo sounded as if they had met a mythical demon.
President Bama, the Minister of Defense, and all the cabinet ministers felt chills run down their spines. They were so terrified that the hair on their backs stood on ends. Just one man could battle against an entire Mei nation task force. It was simply unimaginable!
What kind of being was that? A genetic warrior? A martial arts expert from Hua nation?
Things were getting more alarming, more shocking, and doubts played on their minds.
No one said a thing. Everyone had eyes glued onto the large screen. They watched as Xiao Luo annihilated their military troops stationed at the Mojave Desert. What they witnessed was even more terrifying than a blockbuster movie from Hollywood.
“Use the nuclear weapon!”
President Bama gave the order as he glared at the image showing on the screen.
What?
Everyone was shocked, and they stared at President Bama with their eyes wide open.
Suddenly, President Bama stood up angrily and spat, “Blow him up, blow that thing up!”
historical
Xiao Luo had put him through an agonizing few days, and he seemed to have lost his ability to think coherently.
“You can’t do that, Mr. President. Do not forget that our current domestic situation is in terrible shape. Even if all goes well, our federal government will be chastised by the world for using a nuclear weapon. The citizens of our country will not stand for it either. When that happens, there is only one thing waiting for all of us. And that is ruin,” said the Defense Minister. He was the first person to stand up and discourage the president.
The other cabinet ministers pitched in to dissuade President Bama and advised him not to be impulsive. He must not use a nuclear weapon at his whim and fancy. All the countries around the world had signed an agreement not to use nuclear weapons. There was a military base and a stealth fighter research base at the Mojave Desert, with no less than fifteen cities located in the area. If a nuclear bomb was dropped there, the nearby communities would suffer terribly from radiation.
“Ruin my *ss! We will say that we were testing our nuclear weapon. Which country has the guts to say anything? Who else has the guts to say anything? That is my order. Use the nuclear weapon. Blow that piece of sh*t up!” shouted President Bama. He was so furious that his eyes were blood-shot.
“Mr. President, then I’m sorry!”
The Minister of Defense apologized, then looked at two soldiers and gave them a signal.
The two soldiers followed the order and apprehended the president.
“Arnold, what are you trying to do? What the hell are you trying to do?” President Bama said, shocked and angry at the same time.
The Minister of Defense said firmly, “Mr. President, I am doing this for the good of the federal government. I think you need a good rest. Leave the rest to me. I will handle everything from here.”
“You b*stard! How dare you arrest me! You bloody b*stard! You better believe I’m going to kill you. Let go. Tell them to let me go!” President Bama was extremely angry and was like a mad dog snarling at anyone who came close.Arnold ignored his rants and waved his hand, signaling for the two soldiers to take President Bama out of the room.
