"Damn it, that police car is the attacker..."

"RPG... We need RPGs..."

Sun Cheng sat inside the police car Barricade had transformed into, feeling a chill run through his entire body.

Barricade sped forward with him without any intention of yielding. Every U.S. soldier who dared stand in his way was either crushed beneath his wheels or sent flying.

The windshield in front of him had long since been stained red with blood.

That foul-tempered fellow seemed to relish the thrill of slaughtering the weak. Sun Cheng even saw two terrifying spikes extend from where Barricade's headlights had been. He sped forward at incredible speed, and any U.S. soldiers who failed to evade him and were impaled by those two protruding spikes had their legs pierced and severed, then were flung high into the air by his impact before crashing heavily to the ground!

It was simply cruel!

Since crossing into this world, he had gotten blood on his hands for various reasons, but he still had not truly adapted to it.

Comparing the two now, Barricade's perversely brutal behavior made Sun Cheng feel not only chilled, but even more wary of him.

The missile storage depot had already come into view. Quite a few scattered soldiers had gathered nearby, along with a hastily constructed defensive line. Barricade roared, "End this quickly..."

While speeding along, he abruptly transformed back into his humanoid form. Gripping that spike-covered weapon, he charged forward fiercely.

"Whoosh..."

Sun Cheng spun several times through the air before landing. The moment his feet touched the ground, he instinctively leaped aside.

The next instant, a violent explosion and shockwave sent him flying uncontrollably.

Some U.S. soldier had apparently spotted him and actually fired a grenade launcher at him.

Had the [Spy Template] not caught the grenade's trajectory, a direct hit would have killed him—or at least taken half his life. After all, he was not an advanced warrior like Barricade or Onslaught.

"Whoosh..."

He flung out a poisoned dart, hitting a machine gunner who had been firing continuously at him. Sun Cheng then rolled across the ground and slipped into the shadows.

A head-on battle like this was no longer something he could take part in.

Frenzy was not a combat unit. After his resurrection, the only offensive weapons equipped on his body were several dozen poisoned darts containing radioactive elements. They could kill humans shortly after a hit, but there were too few of them, and their destructive power was limited.

Thus, the only thing he could do now was hide and wait for Barricade to clear out the nearby resistance.

Clearly, although Barricade's combat power was inferior to Onslaught's, he was still capable of easily destroying a human army.

"Heavy weapons! We need heavy weapons..."

"What kind of monster is that? Even rifle grenades can't hurt it..."

"Call for support, quickly... quickly... Its target is the nuclear warheads..."

Davis-Monthan Air Force Base had once been the site where the United States and the Soviet Union dismantled B-52 bombers under an agreement. From that time on, this famous Aircraft Graveyard had also taken on the task of storing aerial bombs, missiles, and even nuclear warheads.

Major Aldous Karel was the officer assigned by the military to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, responsible for guarding the nuclear warheads.

This forty-six-year-old veteran had experienced two Gulf Wars. Having lost an ear in one war due to insufficient vigilance, Karel had developed a cautious disposition ever since. The slightest disturbance would put his nerves on edge.

Tonight was no exception. In fact, the instant explosions erupted inside the base, he awoke at once despite having already undressed and gone to bed, voluntarily taking command of the defenses around the missile storage depot.

"Damn it, Sass, can't the communications equipment be repaired?"

Karel roared irritably at his communications operator. "Support—we need support! Those monsters are after our nuclear warheads..."

He had already thrown aside his night-vision binoculars. The moment Barricade appeared and charged forward valiantly, he had broken through most of Karel's defensive lines in less than two minutes. Now, he was charging at the final line of defense Karel could muster.

From such a short distance, Karel could clearly see with his naked eyes that his boys were desperately trying to accomplish an impossible task with their lives. They had already deployed every heavy weapon they could find.

Machine guns could not penetrate the intruder's armor. Even rifle grenades and RPGs were useless. They could only watch helplessly as that invulnerable monster cruelly swung its spiked weapon, smashing one living body after another to pieces. Scattered limbs filled the surrounding air with the stench of blood.

The only weapons Karel had capable of damaging the target were four M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles that had originally been stationed nearby, but they could only manage two salvos.

After several TOW anti-tank missiles struck the monster and cracked its armor, it reacted at once and destroyed all four infantry fighting vehicles, leaving them with no means of hurting it.

"Major, the communications terminal has been destroyed. We have no way of contacting the outside..."

The communications operator replied with a look of despair. Since this was a military base, even the U.S. military, famous for its freedom and benefits, could not possibly have public communications terminals installed within it.

They had dedicated channels. Their external communications did not rely on wired or wireless networks, but on satellites.

But unfortunately, the ground communications relay equipment connecting the base to the satellites had been destroyed by Sun Cheng from the very beginning.

As a result, although Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was located within the United States and other military bases were less than half an hour away by air, they had lost all means of calling for help.

"Calm down..."

Karel tried hard to calm his communications operator. He grabbed the Black soldier by the collar, pulled his head close, and berated him sternly, "So what if we can't contact the outside? That huge explosion earlier will definitely draw the attention of people nearby. Help will arrive soon. Don't forget, we still have Keyhole. They conduct reconnaissance here every twenty minutes... Soldier, all we need to do now is hold the line—hold it until reinforcements arrive..."

Unfortunately, his efforts had no effect.

As a flash of cold light streaked toward him, Karel failed to react in time. A gleaming poisoned dart appeared in the middle of his forehead. His eyes widened, and his body quickly went limp as he collapsed onto the communications operator.

"Major..."

"Stay alert! Major, hurry, medic..."

The medics who rushed over hurriedly announced Major Karel's death. With no hope left of holding the missile depot or keeping Barricade from approaching, the American soldiers' morale finally shattered completely.

"Waaah..."

After several soldiers manning the last line of defense fled with cries and screams, more and more American troops chose to run. Barricade watched the defenders scatter like ants with interest, neither attacking them again nor showing any intention of giving chase.

Before long, the defenses in front of the missile depot had completely collapsed. Once Sun Cheng sensed that the surroundings were safe, he emerged from his hiding place as well.

He paused as he passed Karel's body. After sneaking close to the depot earlier, he had seen the American officer trying to organize a defense, so he had launched a surprise attack and taken him out.

What Sun Cheng had not expected was that the American troops, so accustomed to fighting one-sided battles, would completely break and flee like this. It was beyond his expectations.

After looking around and seeing that no defending soldiers remained to hinder them, Barricade, still somewhat unsatisfied, flicked the bloodstained spiked weapon in his hand and retracted it back into his body.

At last, he lowered his head and glanced at Sun Cheng. Without needing Barricade to say anything, Sun Cheng immediately understood and quickly walked up to the missile depot, beginning to crack the door code.
