284 The Performance Begins
Lu Li had already aroused suspicion by setting a large fire earlier.
The disturbance in the city center immediately attracted a large number of military and police personnel.
A line of military trucks suddenly stopped at the street corner, unloading 500 dark-skinned, emaciated monkey soldiers on the spot.
Armed with replica Type 56 Assault Rifle and Type 56 Light Machine Gun, they immediately surrounded the area where the hotel was located.
Such a large-scale operation, coupled with the earlier sounds of AK fire, immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
A group of busybodies, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, even filled the rooftop of the building with people, excitedly exchanging ideas:
"I heard that the Henry Group has attracted some formidable mercenaries."
"Mercenaries? Here to rescue those Xia Country pigs?"
"Probably, anyway, they're doomed."
This group believed that Lu Li was surrounded by the army and had no way to escape.
At this moment, Lu Li was leading Han Chen, leisurely arriving at the hotel rooftop.
Han Chen was filled with anxiety and restlessness, unable to understand what Lu Li intended to do.
Seeing that the army had arrived, he cautiously said:
"This is the Democratic Alliance Army, the strongest armed force in the region, with more than 20,000 soldiers."
Hearing this, Lu Li didn't take it to heart at all, and simply waved his hand lightly.
The puppets immediately scattered, each heading in a different direction, and soon encountered the army.
Ahead of "A'da", a group of soldiers were setting up guns behind the vehicle.
Without a word, the soldier immediately opened fire.
A'da completely ignored the bullets, suddenly exerted force with both legs, and directly transformed into a black shadow as he crashed into them.
With a loud bang, the car blocking the road was smashed and rolled away, crushing countless soldiers.
Before the remaining people could react, A'da picked up his AK and started firing, blasting rows of living people with bloody holes.
Blood and screams filled the air, and similar things happened almost simultaneously.
When faced with an enemy who has cover, the puppet charges straight in and... slaughters them!
The enemy even thoughtfully sent them weapons.
A'da casually picked up two Type 56 machine guns from the ground, held them both, and opened fire, turning countless soldiers into mangled flesh.
The other puppets followed suit, picking up machine guns and grenades, and slaughtering the enemy under a hail of bullets.
Within three minutes of meeting, more than 300 of the Allied soldiers out of 500 had died.
Those who weren't dead instantly broke down, crying and screaming as they turned to run away, and the encirclement collapsed in an instant.
Before the onlookers could even react, they saw countless soldiers crying and fleeing for their lives.
"What happened?"
"You have over 500 people and you can't even beat a few people?"
"Demons! They are demons!"
The scene was chaotic, but the puppet launched itself and chased after them, indiscriminately firing at the crowd.
People were piled up on the road, and a single bullet could penetrate four or five people, instantly causing countless corpses to burst out, blood gushing out as they collapsed.
The crowd screamed, shoving and pushing as they scattered and fled, while the puppets opened fire as they approached.
Countless corpses exploded in a spray of blood and fell to the ground, and people standing on the roof were also killed and crashed down with a thud.
Birds of a feather flock together; those in the vicinity weren't exactly saints either, and someone immediately pulled out a gun and fired back.
No matter how hard they fired, the bullets were useless; instead, they became the first ones to stick their heads out and get blown up.
The scene became increasingly chaotic, and many people accidentally fell to the ground and were trampled to death by countless large feet.
In a state of extreme fear, many soldiers, police officers, and people ran into buildings along the street to take refuge.
Going in to clear them out would waste a lot of energy.
Fortunately, after the master Spirit Refinement and separated his body, the puppet also gained the strength of 40,000 jin.
Not only does it increase speed to 200 kilometers per hour, but it can also easily grab cars!
A'da grabbed a car parked on the side of the road with both hands and threw it into a building with a sudden burst of strength.
The gun fired at the fuel tank, and gasoline, engulfed in flames, flowed out, instantly turning into a raging fire that engulfed the building.
Coincidentally, this building housed a telecom fraud gang.
Those impersonating police officers and customer service representatives, and those scamming people through chatbots, were forced to run to the top floor by the flames. Some who didn't want to burn to death jumped down.
Meanwhile, the other puppets followed suit, using cars as Molotov cocktails to set them on fire.
High-rise buildings were set on fire, ironically, only those involved in prostitution, gambling, drugs, and telecom fraud could afford to live in such high-rises.
In an instant, the city center was filled with plumes of black smoke rising into the sky, and the area was rapidly expanding.
Standing high, one can see far. Han Chen, looking out from the rooftop, was dumbfounded and said tremblingly:
"Boss, you can do whatever you want now, it's none of my business. Can I leave now?"
Lu Li released the Kunlun Mirror to Soul Extraction, saying at the same time, "Don't rush, your big show hasn't even started yet."
Upon hearing this, Han Chen immediately knelt down:
"I'm an animal! I shouldn't have invested in this kind of project! Spare my life!"
Despite his tearful pleas for mercy, Lu Li knew he was no pushover just by knowing everyone in the Henry Group, so he naturally ignored him.
But just then, Han Chen looked towards the northwest, his eyes widening...
The city beneath our feet is the capital of the Special Economic Zone and the headquarters of the Allied Forces, so it must be heavily guarded.
Thick smoke billowed into the city center in an instant, making it easy to misjudge the enemy's strength.
So the entire garrison was mobilized, with tens of thousands of troops surrounding the city from all sides and pouring in!
They were carrying mortars, RPGs, and Browning heavy machine guns!
This was already a real war, and Han Chen was so frightened he couldn't speak...
Lu Li calmly patted the backpack behind him.
Whoosh! Six flying swords shot out instantly, frolicking around their master.
"You must be feeling cooped up, go have some fun."
Infuse each of them with one-tenth of your mental energy, and they will roar away.
Such a vivid image is known to everyone within the Xia Country's cultural sphere.
Han Chen was filled with astonishment. "Flying... Flying sword! You're a cultivator!?"
Lu Li looked at him and said, "Your performance should begin now."
After saying that, he grabbed the man and jumped off the roof, heading towards the headquarters of the Special Administrative Region government.
~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, after the troops entered the city, they immediately placed the government's residence under strict protection.
A group of leaders gathered together, their faces grim as they watched the thick smoke rising into the sky from the city center.
"Who did this?!"
"There's a tip that the mercenaries were attracted by the Wei Family's businesses."
"As expected! Wei Rong's Henry Group has caused trouble before!"
Everyone looked at Commander-in-Chief Wei Liangren, their eyes full of questions.
With things escalating like this, even the Commander-in-Chief needs to give an explanation.
Wei Liangren remained silent with a stern face, but a graceful young woman beside him spoke up:
"Please don't worry, everyone. The army has entered the city and has taken protection of the major casinos, nightclubs, and other businesses."
Upon hearing that the industry had been protected, the group's expressions eased slightly.
But some persisted. "Wei Rong, who exactly has your Henry Group offended to cause such a commotion!"
Wei Rong laughed and said, "Don't be so absolute. Your Bai family's casinos have caused quite a bit of trouble."
"What a joke, they just stormed into your Henry Hotel..."
Just as they were arguing, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out from outside!
