Washington South District, an abandoned apartment building.

The SWAT team's tactical flashlight beams swayed in the darkness.

Twelve fully armed special police officers advanced in a tactical formation. Captain McMillan, who has been a special police officer for eleven years, walked at the front holding a bulletproof shield. Reports from each point came from the earphones.

"Position 1 is safe."

"Position 2 is safe."

"Position 3 is safe, no target found."

The call they received was that thugs were in the apartment building and were massacring citizens.

After entering, the hostages were not found. They only saw blood on the ground and skinned bodies.

McMillan I have never seen such a scene.

Suddenly, a red Laser dot appeared on his forehead.

McMillan Before he could say anything, there was a muffled sound, and his head disappeared from his neck, and blood splattered all over the wall.

"Enemy attack! Take cover!"

As soon as the deputy captain's roar ended, another Laser point swept across.

The chests of the two team members exploded at the same time, and the body armor was as fragile as paper in the face of unknown attacks.

The remaining team members fired into the darkness like crazy. The bullets hit the wall and splashed Mars, but they didn't even touch the shadow of the enemy.

Half a minute later, the apartment building was completely silent, and all twelve heavily armed special police officers died.

In the darkness, a translucent figure slowly appeared.

Flower Crab carried a human spine that had been stripped raw and let out a low roar.

Washington Special Administrative Region Police Station.

The hall has become a complete mess.

The calls to the police never stopped from morning to night, and every call received was filled with screams, cries, and reports of an attack.

"The SWAT team lost contact at the South District apartment building! The last communication only came from gunshots and screams!"

"A civilian was attacked on Third Street, and the body was disemboweled! There was no trace of the murderer at the scene!"

"Chief! The two patrol cars sent out have lost contact! The GPS signal stopped at the sewer entrance!"

The operator took off his headphones, his hands shaking.

The screen was filled with red alerts, and on the entire Washington map, attack signals spread like a plague.

Director John Smith squatted behind his desk with his head in his hands.

He has worked as a civilian for thirty years, from a grassroots police officer to the chief of the SAR police station. The most serious case he handled was the Capitol Hill demonstration.

But he hadn't dealt with this scene at all.

Looking at the red alerts filling the screen, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even hold the coffee cup.

Suddenly, the door of the police station was pushed open.

A group of soldiers, led by a young man in a suit and leather shoes, strode in.

The director suddenly stood up. "Who are you?! This is the Washington Special Administrative Region Police Station. Who asked you to lead the troops in!"

Fu Haoran looked at the fat and big-eared director with disdain, stepped onto the table, and announced:

"From now on, this place is taken over by National Guard. All police, special police, and emergency response units in the special zone are under my command."

"You can't do this, we are not under the control of National Guard..."

Fu Haoran signaled with his eyes that four soldiers were carrying a black body bag, but Fu Haoran easily picked it up with one hand, opened the zipper, and pulled out a dark monster corpse.

It has a pitch-black fan-shaped head, exposed sharp teeth, a long barbed tail, and the stainless steel spoon stuck in its chest.

Even the soldiers who had already witnessed the monster lineup could not help but gasp at this moment. You can imagine the reactions of other police officers.

The whole hall took a breath of cold air.

The operator covered his mouth.

Several female police officers subconsciously took half a step back.

Fu Haoran looked around the crowd and said, "We have seen clearly that this Xenomorph creature has its core weaknesses in the soft area of the eye sockets of its head and the unarmored viscera area on its abdomen. The front skull and back exoskeleton are extremely hard, and the blood is extremely corrosive. It is difficult for ordinary rifle bullets to cause fatal injuries."

"Only shooting at close range can cause an effective kill."

"But remember, never get splashed by its blood."

"Finally, we would like to inform all citizens in the city to immediately lock their doors and windows, stay indoors, gather many people for defense, do not act alone, and absolutely do not run into open areas."

"All citizens with weapons organize defense on the spot and wait for military and police rescue."

Fu Haoran paused and added.

"Citizens who have been attacked should not hide in small rooms, but immediately hide in public areas with dense crowds and security guards."

"Okay, now contact all the police officers immediately and synchronize the information to them!"

"Remember, never go indoors unless necessary."

Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, Fu Haoran became angry. "Are you trash? What are you doing stupidly? Get to work quickly!"

Fu Haoran, who felt like he was leading a bunch of pig teammates, casually threw the Xenomorph entity towards the director, but the thin-looking Xenomorph overwhelmed the director.

"Ahhhh! Move this monster away quickly!"

The fat director hurriedly tried to push the monster away, but failed after several attempts.

Now no one dared to question it anymore. The briefly quiet police station exploded again. Everyone took out their mobile phones and contacted their relatives and friends.

The entire police station instantly turned into a vegetable market, but no one cared about the chief who was pinned down by the monster.

Fu Haoran was about to set off when a civilian employee ran out from behind the wiring desk and stopped him at the entrance to the hall.

"Sir! There are a large number of citizens coming to seek asylum. How to arrange it?"

"Arrange them to go to nearby large supermarkets and shopping malls. Send a group of police officers there to block redundant doors, windows, and entrances. Those places have emergency power supplies and can hold up."

The civilian staff wrote it down, turned around and ran away.

Fu Haoran walked through the hall, and just as he reached the corridor, footsteps came from behind again. A police sergeant caught up with him, running so hard that his hat was tilted.

"Sir, we don't have enough manpower to defend so many strongholds."

"Contact all rifle associations, mobilize members, and distribute weapons. Their families will arrange to take refuge in high-end clubs. If there are no clubs, they will go to banks. Banks have thick walls and are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

The police chief nodded and asked, "Where are the gang members?"

"Contact them together. Ask them to go to the gun store with you and take out all the weapons. Use restaurants and small supermarkets as strongholds to guard the street corners."

The Sheriff responded and left.

Fu Haoran continued walking. He pushed open the door of the police station and as soon as he took one foot out, a patrolman rushed over from the side and almost hit him.

"Sir! We lack the manpower to establish a perimeter defense!"

Fu Haoran looked at him.

"Are the monkeys in the detention center? Release them all. Give them weapons and tell them that there are monsters everywhere outside. If they run away, they will die."

The patrolman was stunned for a moment. "Do they... believe it?"

"They don't need to believe it. Let them take a look at the contents of the body bag and they will believe it. Remember, teach them how to fight. It doesn't matter how much they learn. The important thing is to let them know - run and die faster."

The patrolman swallowed, turned around and ran away.

Fu Haoran stood on the steps in front of the police station and took a deep breath.

It took him almost fifteen minutes to walk from the hall to the door, which was less than a hundred meters.

He turned to look at Jimmy who was following behind him.

"Jimmy, you stay."

Jimmy's face turned pale instantly.

"Coordinating the police station, I don't want the process, just the results."

"If you encounter any trouble that cannot be dealt with, please notify me immediately and I will go to the scene."

Jimmy's tense shoulders relaxed when he heard that he didn't have to follow him to the front line. At least the police station seemed safe for now.

After several police officers hurriedly moved the body away, the chief got up in embarrassment. Looking at the police station that was gradually restoring order, his heart suddenly became alive.

Thirty years of working as a civil servant taught him one thing, which is to find someone who takes the blame.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became energetic and shouted at the police officers in the hall at the top of his lungs, "What are you doing standing still! Didn't you hear the major general's order?! Do it immediately! Hurry!"

Southside apartment building.

When Fu Haoran walked into the hall, his boots made a sticky sound when he stepped on the pool of blood.

The bodies of twelve special police officers were scattered in the corridors and stairwells. Some had their upper bodies shattered by Plasma Cannon, some had their chests penetrated, and some had their heads missing.

The walls were spattered with blood and riddled with bullet holes.

The headless body of Captain McMillan was leaning against the corner. The bulletproof shield was cut in the middle by something, and the section was as smooth as the cut of Laser.

Several survivors huddled behind the bunker on the second floor. When they saw Fu Haoran walking in with soldiers, one of the young special police officers burst into tears.

"We can't see it... it's invisible... the red Laser dot, whoever it hits on the head will die..."

Fu Haoran looked down at Auspex in his hand and found that besides them, a high heat signal on the screen was moving slowly above the ceiling of the third floor.

The optical invisibility of the Predator warrior is useless in front of Auspex.

Fu Haoran did not hesitate, and pulled out the RSH-12 revolver from his waist. His 35 points of agility attribute made his hands as steady as a mountain. His breathing, heartbeat, and sight were completely synchronized. Without any hesitation, he fired three shots at the ceiling.

Flower Crab.

I have just killed twelve SWAT officers and am enjoying the aftermath of the hunt.

But he found that the human below suddenly raised his weapon and without saying a word, fired three shots in his direction.

The first armor-piercing bullet penetrated the floor and accurately hit Flower Crab's helmet between the eyebrows.

Although the bullet was deflected, the impact of this blow made Flower Crab's eyesight go dark.

The second shot penetrated the gap in the armor on his left shoulder, and green fluorescent blood spurted out.

The third shot grazed his neck and chipped off a piece of exoskeleton armor.

Flower Crab let out a painful roar. The stealth device briefly failed after the helmet was damaged, and the translucent figure flashed in the darkness for a moment.

The severe pain in his chest caused a slight delay in his movements.

He had no idea that this human could see through his invisibility, let alone that the power of this pistol could penetrate his armor.

The next second, there were two more gunshots, and two new blood holes appeared on Flower Crab's body.

As an elite Predator warrior, Flower Crab was not carried away by anger. He smashed the window and fled crazily under the cover of the building. Every time he landed, there was severe pain in his chest, and green blood continued to drip down his left arm.

Fu Haoran did not rush forward to give chase. He ran down the fire escape while giving orders to the communicator:

"Attention all units, the target is 2.5 meters tall, humanoid, with an injury to his left shoulder. He is fleeing west along Fifth Avenue."

"Block all intersections of Fifth Avenue."

"Where's the helicopter?"

"Already on the way, sir."

The Humvee convoy waiting on the street corner suddenly started to move.

Flower Crab fell out from the corner of the pipe, and green blood dragged a long trace on the ground.

Flower Crab knelt on one knee, heavy breathing coming from the damaged helmet, with a rough feeling like metal friction.

He first raised his movable right arm and pressed the button on the side of the helmet. His thermal vision instantly swept across the entire office building. Except for the heat source Armored Vehicle on the street in the distance, there was no living thing, and there was no human pursuer who could see through his invisibility.

The moment he was confirmed to be safe, his tight exoskeleton relaxed for a moment, and fluorescent green blood immediately gushed out from the penetrating wound on his left shoulder.

Hiding in the bathroom, he took off his helmet with the broken eyepiece, revealing an ugly face.

His face was made up of layers of crab-like carapace, with two pairs of hard claws extending from both sides. His protruding compound eyes were bloodshot, and the fangs on his lower jaw were biting together tightly. A beast-like growl was suppressed in his throat. Even if he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he still had the ferocity of an elite hunter.

Flower Crab glanced sideways at his bloody left shoulder, a trace of violence flashed in his compound eyes.

He smashed the glass with one punch, and as the glass shards fell into the pool, he punched the wall again, directly punching a big hole.

He casually grabbed a handful of lime from the sink, took out a flat metal box from behind his waist, poured a bottle of liquid into it, made a sticky mass, and applied it to the wound.

As soon as the edge of the dressing touches the skin, it begins to stretch automatically, spreading along the contours of the wound like a living thing, sealing the entire shoulder socket tightly.

The surface of the dressing gradually hardened, forming a temporary exoskeleton replacement layer, and the color changed from the initial translucence to a dark silver that was almost the same as the Flower Crab carapace.

Flower Crab put down his right hand and leaned against the bathroom wall to catch his breath for a few seconds.

The entire treatment process takes less than two minutes.

He picked up the helmet again and put it on. Just as he was about to activate the invisibility device, an alarm sounded from the mask!

The humans chasing him have already approached this level!

Flower Crab had no choice but to smash the bathroom window and jump to the street.

However, M1117 Armored Personnel Carrier lined up along the street, blocking all the escape routes for Flower Crab.

There was the roar of propellers overhead, and two police helicopters passed over the rooftops. The searchlights pierced the darkness and illuminated the entire Fifth Avenue as if it were daytime.

Flower Crab ran two streets and found that all intersections were blocked by Armored Vehicle. There was a helicopter searchlight above his head, and behind him was the monster who could see through his invisibility.

He looked down at the sewer manhole cover at his feet - the only entrance that was not blocked.

Flower Crab opened the manhole cover and jumped down.

Fu Haoran chased to the wellhead, looked at the dark hole, and jumped in without hesitation.

After landing, Fu Haoran looked down at Auspex. The high heat signal of Flower Crab on the screen was moving deep in the pipe.

At the same time, four Reincarnator advanced along the depth of the pipe.

The leader's name is Arc, a low-end version of the Electro-Optic Man. His hands are wrapped with blue current, which illuminates the pipe in front of him.

Behind him are teammates Sabretooth low-end, Hawkeye low-end and Colossus low-end.

"This place really stinks." Sabretooth Reincarnator pinched his nose.

"Stop talking nonsense." Arc didn't look back, "Steel Husk's scan shows that the nest is in front, we will retreat after exploring it."

There was a rustling sound coming from deep in the pipe.

Hawkeye Reincarnator He took up his bow and shot out an energy arrow. Blue light cut through the darkness and illuminated the end of the pipe. There was nothing there.

"A false alarm."

Arc did not relax, and the current in his hand became brighter.

Ripples appeared in the sewage, and in the next second several Xenomorphs ejected from the water.

Arc pushed with both hands, and the blue electric current rushed out like a snake. The two Xenomorph that rushed towards him first were so shocked that they twitched and fell into the sewage.

Sabretooth Reincarnator popped out a steel claw and pierced the third head's eye socket, Hawkeye Reincarnator shot an arrow through the fourth head's abdomen.

Colossus Reincarnator stood in the front of the team and smashed the head of the fifth Xenomorph with one punch.

More than a dozen Xenomorph rushed at him at the same time, claws scratching at his tempered skin frantically, leaving only white marks, which could not break his defense at all.

But Xenomorph was not afraid of death at all, and pounced on him one after another, forcefully pressing him into the sewage with his body.

They found that this human being, who was covered in steel, had an impeccable appearance.

Their proud claws and teeth could not tear open the skin of the human in front of them, so they immediately turned to attack Colossus Reincarnator's exposed eyes.

Colossus Reincarnator Just as he was about to raise his hand to block, a tail thorn had accurately pierced his left eye.

Colossus Reincarnator let out a shrill scream, and the steel body softened instantly, and the Xenomorph group swarmed forward.

Arc pulled the current output to the maximum. The blue Arc jumped in the group of Xenomorph. The Xenomorph in the front row was electrocuted and the one in the back row stepped on the corpse in the front row and continued to rush forward.

Hawkeye Reincarnator's arrows shot out like a volley of arrows, but there were too many Xenomorph.

A Xenomorph hung upside down from the top of the pipe, its tail thorn penetrated Hawkeye's shoulder, and lifted him up violently.

Sabretooth Reincarnator jumped up and split open Xenomorph's head with a claw. The moment he landed, three Xenomorph jumped at him at the same time, and strong acid blood sprayed all over his body.

His self-healing speed could not keep up with the corrosion. A big hole was carved out of his chest and he fell to his knees in the sewage.

Arc saw this and thrust his hands into the sewage, pouring all the last traces of electricity into the water.

The blue Arc exploded with a bang, and all the surrounding Xenomorph were electrocuted to the point of twitching and smoking.

But his power was completely exhausted, and the blue light in his hands was completely extinguished.

In the darkness, more Xenomorph emerged.

The last thing he saw was countless fan-shaped heads turning towards him in the darkness.

Before he died, he sent the coordinates of Xenomorph's lair in the sewer to the Reincarnator public channel.

In the public channel, the profile picture of Night Owl lit up, and the profile picture of Li John also lit up.

Coordinates are read instantly.

Similarly, on the top of a building, the tall female Xenomorph also received the coordinates sent by Flower Crab.

At this moment, the four forces seem to be meeting for the first time.
