The Situation
Although Lu Li had issued an attack warning, nearly half of the residents in "New Covenant City" had not yet evacuated.
Among them were internet celebrities and media personalities, as well as people Fang Qian who had ulterior motives.
But most of them are ordinary people who are blindly confident.
In their view, the army was ready and killing a yellow-skinned mutant would be a piece of cake!
The fact that the puppets were suppressed by the unmanned tanks upon first encounter further solidified this view, causing many who had originally planned to leave to stay.
Unexpectedly, the evil mutants revived the Statue of Liberty and marched on Manhattan!
Air raid sirens blared throughout the city, and people who couldn't evacuate in time rushed to underground parking lots and subway stations.
"That evil mutant has defiled the Statue of Liberty! He'll go to hell!"
"What the hell is the army doing! Kill this son of a bitch!"
The citizens were filled with curses and hatred, and it was at this moment that the Statue of Liberty stormed into the city!
A 15-story-tall metal giant rumbled in, scattering debris and debris from the high-rise buildings along the street.
There were large chunks of cement and broken glass everywhere. Some black people who were taking advantage of the chaos on the street were screaming as they were buried in the rubble.
The Statue of Liberty ignored everything and just kept charging forward, trying to attract as much attention as possible.
It was in bad shape, covered in wounds, with bullet holes even on its forehead and face.
Its excessively large size became a disadvantage in the face of saturation firepower.
Fortunately, the tanks' guns were blocked by buildings, preventing them from firing for the time being.
But it was only temporary; the tank company was revving its engines and chasing closely behind.
Moreover, New Covenant City's defenses extend far beyond these.
Under General Fenton's command, another 50 tanks surrounded the area from the front, and 24 Apache Attack Helicopter roared into view.
Without the use of flying swords to contest air superiority, they will certainly be attacked from all sides.
24 Apache helicopters were divided into 8 groups and firmly locked onto the Statue of Liberty.
The next second, Hellfire missile roared in! The machine guns also opened fire!
The Statue of Liberty was hidden behind a skyscraper, thus narrowly avoiding some of the damage.
At the same time, he grabbed a piece of the building and threw it forcefully into the sky, turning it into shotgun pellets that sent the Mars flying and sparks flying.
One aircraft was hit in the tail section and spun around before crashing. The others scattered and climbed higher.
Having just gained a slight advantage, the incredibly fast light unmanned tank caught up and unleashed a barrage of bullets aimed at the goddess's knees and calves!
Meanwhile, a dozen F35 fighter jet also formed a formation and flew across the sky, dropping a large number of missiles and precision-guided bombs.
This is the saturation attack in modern warfare; even with extraordinary power, not everyone can withstand it.
The Statue of Liberty had no ability to evade missiles. In desperation, it only had time to move a Starbucks building as a shield before it was engulfed by a violent explosion.
Dust blanketed the sky, but many industry insiders knew the Statue of Liberty was doomed.
Unlike in science fiction movies, these large monsters are actually the most effective countermeasures against modern weapons.
Three kilometers away, on the rooftop of the Holiday Inn Manhattan, Fang Qian was operating a drone to film everything, and she thought the same thing.
Sure enough, after the dust settled, the Statue of Liberty was missing an arm and had a huge gash in its waist.
The second round of air strikes was about to begin, and the tank company caught up as well.
The Statue of Liberty, though unable to escape, did not fight to the death, but instead turned and ran north!
Upon seeing this, General Fenton immediately shouted:
"It's heading to Wall Street! Stop it at all costs!"
That's right, Wall Street and the Stock Exchange are less than a kilometer away.
If the Statue of Liberty were to run at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, it would only take half a minute to reach her.
But the Star Alliance Country's land and air power wouldn't let them have their way, and they immediately unleashed a barrage of firepower.
Shells, missiles, and machine guns slammed into the goddess's body, instantly obliterating her fleshy face.
Unmanned tanks specifically target the lower legs and feet to disable the target's mobility.
The goddess desperately used the tall buildings to avoid the attack, while wielding a torch and books to defend herself, as she charged toward Wall Street with all her might.
The command it received was to attract attention, and it naturally carried it out resolutely to buy its owner enough time!
At this moment, Lu Li's "Spiritual Ear" was pulsating continuously, just like when the Azure Dragon broke through.
Normally, this would have caused a huge uproar long ago, but everyone's eyes are on the Statue of Liberty, and since "Spiritual Ear" is semi-transparent, we can still fool them for now.
But this won't last long...
Just a hundred meters from the Stock Exchange, the goddess's right calf broke, and she crashed to the ground with a thud.
It was supporting itself on one hand and one leg, trying to crawl forward, but more than a dozen tanks had already rushed over and blocked it.
Tanks even threw out Steel Cable to tie him up, clearly intending to capture him alive.
Upon witnessing this, General Fenton a long sigh of relief.
As long as Wall Street doesn't crash, everything else is fine.
The officers, experts, and scholars in the command center were so excited that they hugged each other tightly!
The losses in this battle were not significant, but the metal giant was captured alive.
Once the secrets are uncovered, the Star Alliance Country will become the greatest and most brilliant nation in the universe! We ourselves will be remembered in history!
They were ecstatic, but the other onlookers on Blue Star felt a deep sense of regret.
"Just one step away! Goddess, give it your all!"
"At least raise the Stock Exchange's value! Charge! Charge! Charge!"
At this moment, the prayers of people all over the world, especially those of a certain major Eastern country, converged into a surging tide of wishes, numbering over 2 billion!
With the increasing development of networks and smart devices, the true nature of the Star Alliance Country is becoming more and more widely known.
Even if many people don't side with Lu Li, they still want to see the Star Alliance Country suffer a setback.
Unfortunately, wishful thinking isn't omnipotent and can't bring the Statue of Statue of Liberty back to life.
The Stock Exchange, less than 100 meters away, was ultimately a misplaced investment.
Countless people sighed with regret, feeling that they wouldn't be getting any big juicy gossip today.
Meanwhile, the Star Alliance Country and its allies turned into a sea of jubilation, basking in triumph online.
People hiding underground in New Covenant City also came out to take photos with the Statue of Statue of Liberty, but were stopped by a group of soldiers.
Ordinary people would certainly think that the Star Alliance Country side won, but things are clearly not that simple.
In the operations command center, Professor Rossi murmured, "Something's not right... Where's the mutant and his flying sword?"
"Maybe they saw the laser and ran away."
Professor Reid, eager to participate in the research on the Statue of Liberty, casually made a guess.
This is also what most people think: once the mutants have witnessed the strength of the Star Alliance Country, they certainly won't dare to show their faces.
Rossi, however, thought differently.
He picked up a pen and paper and went through everything that had happened that day... Suddenly he shouted:
"No! This mutant is trying to distract us! What's he up to...? Oh right! What about the strange footage the drone captured earlier?"
The moment the words left his mouth, the officer in charge of the drone swarm's expression changed, and he exclaimed in disbelief:
"Unidentified situation discovered near Liberty Island!"
On the big screen, Lu Li's "Spiritual Ear" had turned pitch black, like a black hole!
