Break

At night, in the darkness, the starry sky is clear and full of countless stars.

A military off-road vehicle Metropolis and arrived at a remote Southern Suburbs.

This is General Vick's deployment point, where the latest laser strike weapons, high-powered missiles targeting the subsonic force field at the frequency of Ba Di's body, and other ground-based weapons are deployed.

As he approached this spot, Sam Lane's previously calm expression gradually turned horrified, eventually shocking even someone like him who had witnessed war, causing his pupils to constrict in shock.

What did he see? A hideous monster, shaped like a tumor protruding from its body, with thick skin and protruding bones, as if it were evolving, forcefully breaking its bones and then growing cells to make those bones protrude to the surface of its body.

It was terrifying to see even from afar; how could there be such a monster?

As the car drew closer, Sam Lane's pupils constricted even more. The monster was almost six meters tall. Just a glance from nearby made him feel a ferocious pressure coming towards him, and his breath caught in his throat. The monster was in a huge steel cage, each steel bar as thick as an adult's arm, but no matter how indestructible the steel seemed.

Sam Lane didn't feel safe at all. The monster just gave him a cold glance, and he felt a jolt of fear all over his body, from head to toe.

Sam Lane acted swiftly and decisively, finding General Vick's wartime tent with a stern face and berating him.

"Vic! What are you doing!"

It was obvious that this monster was another creation of Vic's, created without reporting it to the military, hence his apparent surprise. Vic always acted too independently of the American Military, whether it was the massacre of villages in Vietnam or the missile explosions at military bases; he was far too self-centered.

General Vick, who had been sitting calmly in his chair, calculating and planning at his makeshift desk, felt a surge of anger when he saw Sam Lane enter and question him.

He had no liking for this guy who was about to be promoted to general, because if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the one to step down and make way for him.

"Lieutenant General Lane, Lieutenant General, where is your salute to your superior?"

General Vick's face was grim. He stood up from his chair, pushed it back, and braced himself on the table with both hands, shouting angrily.

Sam Lane suppressed his anger, snapped his feet together, and gave General Vick a sharp salute. Then, in a completely emotionless tone, he said, "General Vick, you need to report to the military. And what are you trying to do by coming here to deploy elite troops and powerful weapons?"

As he finished speaking, Sam Lane uttered each word with a sharp, forceful tone, his questions delivered in Barry.

General Vick's gloomy face held a hint of anger and ferocity. He said in a calm and cold tone, "I will naturally explain to the military. Lieutenant General Lane, you are now a lieutenant general. You have no right to control me or question me. Now, get out of here."

General Vick's finger was almost poking Sam Lane in the chest, his anger overflowing.

Sam Lane didn't move, his face stern, and he shouted sternly, "What is he, General Vick? What is Ba Di? He's not an experimental subject you created!"

Sam Lane stared intently into General Vick's pupils. When he saw the General Vick's grim expression and the contraction of his pupils, he was certain that this was definitely not a biological experimental subject created by General Vick.

If he can find out where Ba Di came from, he will definitely be able to bring down General Vick.

General Vick is in dire straits.

"Get out! That's mine!" General Vick roared in fury, breathing heavily as he stared intently at Sam Lane.

He clearly knew he was in a very difficult situation. Only by capturing Ba Di, dead or alive, and continuing his research could he gain a foothold, instead of being reprimanded by a mere lieutenant general.

This made him tremble with rage. How dare a lieutenant general question him? Sam Lane gave General Vick a deep look, then turned and strode away from the makeshift combat tent.

As he stepped out of the tent, a tall man wearing a black mesh bulletproof combat suit and a black eye patch over his right eye passed by him and entered the temporary combat tent.

Sam Lane paused, his face remaining impassive, but his heart was in turmoil.

That's Slade Wilson, a colonel who was listed as dead, and he's actually come back to life?! I see him here!

Slade entered the makeshift combat tent and saw General Vick pressing his hand firmly against the table, his knuckles turning white, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He looked up at Slade and said menacingly, "Slade, kill Sam Lane. He's too eager to bring me down."

Slade crossed his arms, stared coldly at General Vick with his one eye, and said, "Vic, I will no longer work for you or be your dog."

General Vick growled a deep, harsh voice from his throat. "You dare betray me."

"This doesn't count as betrayal. I've done more than enough for you, even risking my life."

"That alien is right. Without your restraint, he would never have been able to leave the Underground Research Institute. I will make sure he can't get out."

"However, all of this is because you are above me. I need to consider your feelings so that he has room to take advantage of me."

"Only when I am free can I unleash my talents."

Slade stared at the fierce General Vick, and under the soft light, the two officially broke off their relationship.

General Vick's hands were clenched into fists on the table, his eyes bloodshot with rage. He felt as if the whole world was about to betray him.

The military is constantly pressuring him; Sam Lane wants to take his place; Jenny has become a monster and refuses to continue making the enhancement potion; and now, even his most loyal henchman Slade, is betraying him.

"You should know that if I want to leave here, no one can stop me. I am now stronger than Ba Di," Slade said. "I won't let you lock me in a cage like you did with Jenny."

"She went into the cage willingly. That woman is growing stronger, taller, and her mind Destruction every moment," General Vick said angrily. "Do you think I'm cruel and heartless towards you?"

Slade gave a cold sneer, turned around and walked out of the makeshift tent.

"I'm staying here to find out where Ba Di is, and I'll take care of everything."

"Let's see if this alien is more powerful, or if I am."

"You can send someone to collect the body!"
