Lin Xiao had made such a huge commotion that nearly the entire school had come. Aside from the De Nuo descendants attending their normal classes, the rest were members of the first class of the Super Soldier Company.
Qiang Wei looked at the elite soldiers under Lin Xiao's command, then at Liu Chuang, Cheng Yaowen, and Rui Mengmeng beside her, and felt an endless sense of melancholy.
Since two people had been transferred away by Lin Xiao, the first class had too few members. Du Kao simply brought over all the second-class members at once.
Li Feifei, Zhao, Su Xiaoli, Wei Ying, He Weilun—especially He Weilun. She had originally been someone Lin Xiao wanted, but he had suddenly decided against it, saying he lacked the resources to equip her and asking the Super Soldier Company to take her in first.
Leina had been holding meetings aboard the Giant Xia and had not arrived yet, so Qiang Wei was temporarily leading this group. But they truly disappointed her.
Qiang Wei did not even know how to describe them: a gang leader, a farmer, an adorably clueless waitress, an online female streamer, and a bunch of ordinary people. Only He Weilun, who had originally been a police officer, was somewhat better.
Casting aside her thoughts, Qiang Wei vanished into space and appeared before Lin Xiao on the helipad.
"Lin Xiao, what are you going to do?" Qiang Wei got straight to the point.
"We're heading out to fight aliens. Don't block me. I need to get on the helicopter."
"Fight aliens? We haven't received any deployment orders. How are you going to make those ordinary people fight aliens?"
Qiang Wei pointed at the people from the Super Soldier Company and shook her head at Lin Xiao.
"That's your Super Soldier Company. No one asked you to come. Our Super God Company isn't that useless. Move aside already. I'm in a hurry. I'll talk to Du Kao myself."
Lin Xiao still held a grudge over Qiang Wei nearly kicking him in the balls last time, so seeing her put him in a bad mood. If not for Du Kao's sake, he would have kicked her back.
"What a petty man. Can... can I come with you?"
Qiang Wei gritted her teeth. She had realized she had gone too far last time, but the words of apology simply would not come out.
After all, she had been the one who lost last time. But she was a soldier. Nothing made her feel worse than being left out of a fight.
"You? Sure."
Lin Xiao was pressed for time and could not be bothered to waste words with her. If she wanted to come, then she could come. There was no real danger anyway; this was purely a trial run.
"General Du Kao, please immediately evacuate the civilians near Frontline Street in Giant Hero City!"
After boarding the aircraft, Lin Xiao connected to Du Kao's communications channel.
"Lin Xiao? What happened? We haven't detected any attack here."
Du Kao was somewhat bewildered upon receiving the call. Evacuation was not a major issue, but why evacuate?
"I received information that the God-Slaying Squad of the Taotie will appear there. I'm going to fire the first shot in Earth's defense there!"
"Received information? Can you be sure? Are you confident?"
Du Kao knew Lin Xiao. He was usually a little unserious, but he would not joke about something like this. His expression became solemn as well.
"Don't worry. They're minor characters. I'm confident! Xiaoguang has enabled access permission for De Nuo No. 3. You can watch the entire thing live."
After saying that, Lin Xiao cut off the communication and began preparing for the coming battle. Du Kao frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking to the communications officer.
"Put the feed on the main screen. Put everyone on combat alert. Notify Giant Hero City and urgently evacuate the area near Frontline Street."
Watching Lin Xiao arrange tactics on the screen, Du Kao suddenly felt fortunate. His decision back then had been correct. He had given much, and Lin Xiao's return had begun.
In a desert somewhere within the ancient Egyptian Empire, three figures appeared before a ruined pyramid.
The man in the lead was Sno, whom Lin Xiao had detected. The other two were Taotie officers clad in white armor.
"Is this the Crocodile God Soton?"
The three entered the pyramid. At an altar inside, one Taotie officer pointed at a stone statue and asked.
"Our Nether River Civilization came here once. My god Carl created a third-generation super soldier, but unfortunately, Angel Chase subdued him. Later, my god Carl reached a reconciliation with the Angel Civilization, and Soton became a sacrifice."
As Sno manipulated a magic array, he explained matters to the two Taotie officers.
"Wasn't he dead? Why did you bring us here?"
"Hehehe. Earth possesses power beyond a pre-nuclear civilization. My god is reviving Soton to help you."
"A third-generation super soldier? That's a god. Will he listen to us?"
The Taotie officer asked uncertainly. A god following their command? It did not sound very realistic.
"That depends on you. My god is merely a scholar and has already given you enough help. Oh, while he has just revived and is still weak, you had best control him first. Those who have come into contact with the Angel Civilization may have been implanted with certain undesirable ideas."
As Sno finished speaking, the magic array was complete. A beam of light shot from the pyramid into the sky, and a figure gradually formed within it before being blasted high into the air.
On the rooftop of a building on Frontline Street in Giant Hero City, three mechas—blue, red, and silver—stood at the edge, overlooking the entire street below.
The blue one was naturally Lin Xiao's Xia Lan Mecha. The red one was slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing; it was Lian Feng's Lieyang Mecha.
The final silver mecha was naturally Qi Lin's Phantom Mecha. Qi Lin was highly skilled at sniping, so the name suited her well.
"All units, attention. Snipers, keep a close eye on the incoming Taotie. Leave the rest to the others!"
The War God Squad was equipped with four Gauss sniper rifles. They were not terrifying weapons, but they were far stronger than modern firearms.
The key lay in the series of bullets developed by Lin Xiao: ordinary armor-piercing rounds, explosive armor-piercing rounds, black-gold God-Slaying Bullets, and the currently strongest blue-gold God-Slaying Bullets.
Combined with those rounds, the guns had entirely different power. But Lin Xiao's equipment had one common trait: it could not be mass-produced. The blue-gold God-Slaying Bullets, in particular, were only issued to Qi Lin.
At present, neither the impoverished De Nuo nor backward Earth had the raw material supply needed to support even his small-scale production.
"Doctor, an ultra-limited lifeform is approaching!"
Lin Xiao raised his head and activated the Eye of Perception. High above Giant Hero City, a powerful energy signature was falling. Its intensity was nearly equal to Sun Wukong's when Lin Xiao had first met him.
"Everyone, attention. Stay sharp. The enemy is here, with at least the strength of a second-generation super soldier."
As Lin Xiao's words fell, a figure dropped from the sky and landed on Frontline Street.
"Ow, ow, ow, my butt hurts. Huh? I'm alive?"
The figure muttered as he climbed up from the ground, rubbing his backside and looking around at his surroundings.
"Where am I? I'm starving to death. Better find something to eat first."
"Boss, should we make a move?"
Crow's voice came through Lin Xiao's communicator.
"Wait a little longer. Why haven't the Taotie appeared yet? Forget it. Myna, give him a God-Slaying No. 1 Bullet first. Don't use ordinary rounds. They definitely won't work."
Lin Xiao gave Myna the order. This chatterbox Myna was actually one of the four most talented snipers on the team.
Bang!
Having received the order, Myna fired without hesitation. The gunshot echoed through the silent street.
Soton, who was rummaging through a trash can for food, was hit in the head. He immediately went tumbling across the ground, rolling several times before finally stopping.
"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so bad!"
Under Lin Xiao's Eye of Perception, Soton's energy had barely decreased, meaning the God-Slaying No. 1 Bullet had actually been ineffective.
Under normal circumstances, a God-Slaying No. 1 Bullet could kill a First Generation Warrior and break through the defenses of a second-generation one, though with little effect.
Soton was indeed a third-generation super soldier. He had only just been revived, yet his body was already this strong. In this regard, beast bodies truly surpassed God River Bodies.
"Crow, send Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin over to train!"
Since the God-Slaying Bullet was useless, they would fight at close range. Using black-gold rounds would be too wasteful. They were far too scarce; after making so many suits of armor, there was not much left for bullets.
"Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, get moving. Damn it, put your helmets on. This is a battlefield."
Crow was fully encased in armor as he looked at the two men, who showed no sense of tension at all.
"Ah, we're fighting a monster?"
Ge Xiaolun looked at Qiang Wei, who was watching from the side. He wanted to show off in front of the beauty, but his hands and feet were going weak.
"Get the hell over there. Obey orders!"
A cold smile appeared beneath Crow's helmet. The boss's allowance was not so easy to take.
The boss subsidized them with so much money to settle their families. On the battlefield, life and death were unpredictable. No one could say when they might die. These two recruits were still too green.
"Yes, sir!"
No matter how unwilling they were, the two could only take up their weapons and head out to face the enemy. Disobeying orders on the battlefield could get them shot.
