Husband and Wife Join the Fray
"Wanqing, we have so many things to manage here, can Yinglong to you?" Cui Man patted Ye Wanqing on the shoulder and asked. Ye Wanqing nodded. "No problem, Sister Man. Just give me the permissions to modify the United Nations database, I can handle the rest myself."
"It'll be ready soon," Cui Man said, turning to direct the others.
After confirming her access permissions, Ye Wanqing pressed a button on her earpiece. "Honey, I'll take over your communication now. I'll check the information on the Mutator around you, and I'll change the names for those that can be changed."
"Oh? My Little Pufferfish has officially emerged from seclusion?" Xiao He asked in surprise, then was punched in the face by a Mutator. He retaliated with a punch that turned the Mutator into mincemeat. "Actually, it's fine if I don't change my name, I can handle it... for now. But if they keep coming like this, I probably won't be able to handle it."
Although Xiao He was surrounded by more than a dozen Mutator, he could still handle that number of Mutator. What annoyed him was that they didn't put up any resistance at all and simply left the Mutator to the group of people who were supposed to deal with them.
This was practically a euphemism: your country is stronger, so you should deal with these Mutator. What angered Xiao He the most was that these people didn't even offer a token resistance, acting as if they were "weak and therefore right."
However, this is more likely a trick by Claude Moriarty.
Although it appeared that the dozen or so Mutator surrounded Xiao He, their attacks were actually ineffective against Xiao He. However, their attacks were rapidly depleting the strength he was Erosion. He needed to deal with these creatures as soon as possible and then leave two behind to replenish his stamina.
However, at that moment, several more halos appeared in the sky, this time with even more Mutator —more than twenty in total. At the same time, Ye Wanqing replied through her earpiece, "Honey, Sister Man that even more Mutator have appeared in other regions of our country. Including those over there, there are probably more than forty!"
"I'm angry!" Veins throbbed on Xiao He's forehead; he had truly reached his limit. So he raised his hand: since Claude is still alive, he should be able to use that ability.
"Spatial Shockwave!" Xiao He snapped his fingers, and a ripple spread out from him, quickly covering the entire Dragon Country. Then he turned to the twenty-odd Mutant surrounding him and frowned, "Alright, I'll deal with you first."
At that moment, Claude, thousands of kilometers away, suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Ah... Mr. Yinglong, that won't do. That's cheating." Claude said with a slight smile, "I know you're unhappy with those who dump difficult problems on you, but that's the rule of the game. In the movie, maybe the people on those two ships didn't press the button, but that's a movie, and reality is much darker than that..."
As he spoke, Claude teleported the Mutator had pressed the buttons to the edge of the Dragon Country, allowing them to enter through normal Dragon Country: "The reality is that humans are selfish. Even if it's just a second longer than someone else, they'll unhesitatingly push the other into the jaws of death... That's human nature."
Claude glanced at the monitor in his hand, which showed an increasing number of countries pressing the teleportation button, attempting to send their Mutator elsewhere. He continuously teleported those Mutator to the Dragon Country and the M Country, laughing maniacally, "You may be a hero, but those people don't deserve to be saved. I want you to understand this deeply!"
At this moment, in Beichang City, in just three minutes, only two of the more than thirty Mutator on site remained; the rest had been reduced to fragments scattered all over the ground. Dark green slime and unknown remains were strewn everywhere, and the surrounding area was almost completely leveled.
"Little Pufferfish, how are the others?" Xiao He asked, then lifted the two Mutator in his hands into the air, Erosion their power to replenish his lost stamina and strength.
"Right now, each of you has about two Mutator, and even more Mutator have been dumped near our country," Ye Wanqing replied anxiously. "I'm currently classifying the areas according to the emergency situation on the ground and sending you the rescue order. Just follow the order I give you to the various rescue points."
"Understood," Xiao He replied. "How are things in the other countries? What about M Country?"
"It's even worse in the M Country ..." Ye Wanqing whispered. "At least we have you to quickly deal with the Mutator, but the M Country has not only mobilized all its Mutant, but also had to send out its army... The situation is very chaotic now."
"Alright, I understand." Xiao He took a deep breath. "We can't let that bastard get away with it."
As he spoke, Xiao He vanished from the scene in a flash.
The Dragon Country is able to barely cope because it has a large number of Yinglong Robot. Although the Yinglong Robot are not powerful enough to quickly eliminate the LV6 Mutator, they are durable and resilient, so they can buy time.
Located in Nanhua City, the Mutant responsible for guarding this area is "Mirage Dragon" Zhang Ming.
"Drink!" The lizardman Mutator was now launching a frenzied attack on Zhang Ming. Its attacks were incredibly fierce; a single punch could knock down a building. Zhang Ming was fleeing in all directions in a sorry state, like a mouse being chased by a cat.
"Hmph! Is this all the Mutant in the Dragon Country are capable of?!" The lizardman laughed smugly, throwing another punch at Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming jumped back to avoid it, and the punch landed on the ground, leaving a huge dent.
Zhang Ming also screamed as he was thrown back by the aftershock, crashing into the wall beside him before getting up and slinking away.
"Don't run away!" the lizardman laughed as he gave chase.
Of course, Zhang Ming wasn't actually escaping at that moment; it was just an illusion.
But the problem remained: he lacked the means to defeat the lizardman; after all, this wasn't a competition, Mutator wouldn't die from hallucinations...
"I'll finish you off!" The lizardman cornered Zhang Ming's phantom, then opened his mouth, his tongue flying towards Zhang Ming in the corner like a spring.
With a loud "boom," a large cloud of dust erupted where the lizardmen were.
But when the smoke cleared, the lizardman and Zhang Ming were gone, leaving only a large pool of green blood and some small pieces of flesh.
Beside the pool of green blood stood a man in a black suit.
"Yinglong!" Zhang Ming exclaimed, emerging from the illusion's protection. "You... you've sorted things out on your end?"
Xiao He glanced at Zhang Ming and said irritably, "Don't let them vandalize the streets like this! Don't you understand the economic losses?!"
"You caused far more damage..." Zhang Ming muttered under his breath, then said in alarm, "Watch out! There's another Mutator!"
Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow flashed, and a giant humanoid mantis appeared behind Xiao He. Its two front claws, like the scythe of death, flashed with a blood-red light, passing by Xiao He's waist and neck.
"It's over..." Zhang Ming's heart sank: this mantis-like creature's scythe could even easily cut through steel.
"Whoosh!" A gust of wind blew by, and a cold glint of light spun and landed in front of Zhang Ming, embedding itself in the ground.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Ming discovered that it was actually one of the forelegs of a humanoid praying mantis.
"My scythe can cut through iron like mud..." the mantis asked incredulously, looking at its severed claws.
"Don't be silly, how can steel compare to my body?" Xiao He shook his head and sighed, reaching out to grab the face of the humanoid mantis. The monster twitched, its body rapidly shriveling up.
"Stay alert, there might be more enemies," Xiao He warned Zhang Ming, then tossed the now-empty humanoid mantis aside. "I'm heading to the next rescue point."
"Ah... um." Zhang Ming nodded, and then Xiao He's figure blurred and disappeared from the scene.
In East Zhou City, Xie Haining, known as "Candle Dragon," is in charge.
At this moment, Xie Haining was fighting two Mutator in the city center: a rhinoceros over three meters tall and a tree-man over five meters tall. Xie Haining nimbly weaved through the attacks of these two Mutator.
"Like a nasty fly!" the rhinoceros roared, crouching low in a starting position. "If you get out of the way, I'll smash this city into a garbage dump!"
After saying that, the rhinoceros charged at Xie Haining, each heavy step like an Earthquake.
"Tsk..." Xie Haining frowned slightly, took out a grenade from his pocket, and took the initiative to meet the rhino man.
In the instant the man and the rhinoceros passed each other, Xie Haining slipped under the rhinoceros's armpit, then shoved a grenade into the rhinoceros's nostril. While turning in mid-air, he pulled out a Magnum pistol from his pocket and fired a burst of shots at the rhinoceros.
Each bullet struck the rhino man precisely in the back of the head, followed by the explosion of the grenade.
The rhinoceros-man's body was instantly engulfed by the smoke, but...
"Achoo!" The rhinoceros-man sneezed, dispersing the smoke. Picking its nose and frowning, it said, "What's going on? Is that all you've got? Even if I stand here and let you hit me, you can't kill me."
"So, do you want me to punch you?" Xie Haining asked with a slight smile. The rhinoceros patted his chest smugly and said, "Come on!"
"Then I'll fight you, okay?" Xiao He smiled as he stood in front of the rhinoceros-man, throwing out his right fist.
"Boom!" The rhinoceros's upper body and the building behind him disappeared together, as if half of it had been erased from the screen by an eraser.
Xiao He frowned, looking at his fist, and muttered to himself, "Too much force makes it hard to control."
"Little Xiao?" Xie Haining seemed somewhat surprised. "Have you dealt with the Mutator on your side?"
"Rhino Warrior!?" The treant, who had been moving slowly behind, saw that things were not going well and prepared to turn around and run away, but as soon as he turned around, Xiao He stood in front of him.
"Where are you going?" Xiao He asked with a smile, then punched the tree-man into a shower of wood chips.
"Ha..." Xie Haining, who was watching all this from the side, couldn't help but laugh and shake her head, "As expected, I'm still no match for you."
"Their functions are different." Xiao He poked himself. "I'm Nuclear Bomb, and you're a sniper rifle."
"Alright, stop worrying about my self-pity." Xie Haining waved her hand. "Let's move on to the next point."
"Okay," Xiao He replied, then hurried to the next rescue point.
"Honey, the situation in the country is temporarily under control. Yinglong Robot is doing a great job, and we can continue to buy some more time," Ye Wanqing said in the earpiece. "You need to go to Link Harbor City now; there are more than a dozen Mutator gathered there."
"No problem," Xiao He said, pressing a button on his earpiece. "Are you sure you don't need my help in other areas?"
"Not for now, we can buy some time," Ye Wanqing explained. "But the Mutator at the port are already approaching the city. We must stop them before considering supporting other areas."
"Understood," Xiao He replied, then teased, "You Little Pufferfish, you're quite the expert."
"Of course... I've been studying hard all along," Ye Wanqing said with a playful snort. "I've already changed the names of all the Mutator could change their names, just as a precaution."
"Alright," Xiao He replied, then took a deep breath: No problem, it'll definitely work. To be precise, it'll be very easy.
Because of his ability to Erosion, stamina is not a problem at all. After each battle, he leaves two Mutator behind to recover stamina and increase strength through Erosion. As he continues to fight, Xiao He will only get stronger and stronger. Now his physique is approaching LV10!
At LV10, Xiao He is almost on par with a real Kryptonian, possessing the strength of a thousand tons!
However, his body was already flashing with White Light, clearly approaching his limit.
Upon arriving at the port of Link Harbor City, Xiao He indeed saw a large group of Mutator coming ashore from the sea.
He stood on the beach, blocking the Mutator's path, and joked, "Look at you all, like seafood coming ashore, it makes my stomach rumble."
The Mutator at the scene looked left and right, then pounced on Xiao He all at once.
"Xiaoqing, after we finish today's business, shall we go eat crabs?" Xiao He asked, getting into position.
"I don't like eating crabs, it's too much trouble..." Ye Wanqing muttered softly.
"You little rascal, you're such a picky eater..." Xiao He sighed helplessly, took a step forward, and threw out his right fist.
The fan-shaped impact spread out from in front of Xiao He, extending for over a hundred meters, stirring up large amounts of dust and water mist, and even splitting the sea surface.
Only after the smoke and dust cleared did the seawater slowly return to its original position, leaving behind only the remnants of the Mutator scattered all over the ground.
"How about we go get some barbecue?" Ye Wanqing asked through the earpiece. "I'm open to things like grilled squid and grilled scallops."
"Alright, let's wait until this is over and then invite everyone up for a barbecue," Xiao He nodded and smiled.
At that moment, Xiao He's phone vibrated, displaying an unknown number, but he already knew what was going on.
"Hello." Xiao He answered the phone, and sure enough, Claude's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Mr. Yinglong," Claude greeted with a smile.
