Chen Mo pressed Yelena's face and pushed her aside.
"Go play somewhere else, I'll arrange things for you later."
Yelena took two steps back, and just as she regained her footing, she followed Chen Mo's gaze to the other end of the street.
Katyusha looked at the two of them and stopped a dozen meters away.
The surrounding Soviet soldiers also spotted her.
Several officers, as if they had found their leader, quickly approached, but Katyusha simply raised her hand, signaling them to continue organizing the evacuation.
Her gaze never left Chen Mo.
Having never met him before, she only had a gut feeling that this guy might be dangerous.
Now that I actually see the other person, the feeling is completely different.
Fear surged through my body.
Just like the sense of crisis she felt when encountering wild beasts in the forest before she underwent the transformation—no, even stronger!
Katyusha hadn't felt this way in many years.
Even facing multiple Glory Class, she was confident she could escape unscathed. But the person before her, simply standing there quietly, gave her the illusion that she might die at any moment.
wrong.
It's not an illusion.
If war breaks out now, she will surely die.
Chen Mo looked her up and down.
Standing nearly two meters tall, he was ridiculously strong, and possessed an enormous amount of energy within him, far surpassing that of Siegfried whom they had met before.
"You're that ' Glory Class' from the Soviet Union?"
Chen Mo stroked his chin. "Her name is Katyusha, right?"
"I am not some Soviet Union Glory Class; I am simply myself."
Katyusha calmly replied, " Katyusha is just a code name they gave me."
"It's roughly the same idea."
No, this is different.
Katyusha glanced at the retreating soldiers. "I don't subscribe to their doctrines. I came to the battlefield simply to help more people survive."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Understood, a wild Glory Class."
Katyusha paused for a moment.
Her prepared explanation was shut down by those four words.
"You killed Siegfried and also routed the main force of the German army."
She took a slow step forward. "Whatever your motives, many people survived this war because of you. On their behalf, I thank you."
"Verbal thanks?"
What do you want?
"You."
Chen Mo answered very decisively.
The atmosphere on the street instantly fell silent.
The surrounding soldiers stopped what they were doing, and several officers even gripped their weapons at their waists.
Yelena was also taken aback for a moment.
She glanced at Katyusha, then looked down at herself, and a strange sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart.
She was the one who arrived first.
She is not part of the deal.
Yelena stepped between the two, saying, "The payment we agreed on was only for me."
You're overthinking it.
Chen Mo reached out and pushed her away, "That's not what I meant."
What does that mean?
"Literal meaning."
Chen Mo looked at Katyusha, "I want your body, and your abilities."
Yelena opened her mouth.
That doesn't sound much better either.
The soldiers behind Katyusha immediately raised their submachine guns and pointed them at Chen Mo.
"Put down your weapons."
Katyusha said in a deep voice.
"But..."
I said, "Put it down."
Several soldiers gritted their teeth and finally lowered their gun barrels.
They had witnessed the destruction Siegfried had caused, and this man before them had killed Siegfried.
If these guns were actually fired, the only effect would be to kill them faster.
Katyusha looked at Chen Mo again.
"There are still many wounded and civilians here."
"So what?"
"If we clash, they will all be affected."
"That's easy."
Chen Mo pointed outside the city, "If you're worried about hurting them, I can find a no-man's-land and kill you."
Katyusha's heart sank.
The other party never intended to let her go from the beginning.
She had initially chosen to stay behind because she still had some confidence in her abilities. Even if she couldn't win, she could at least buy time for the troops to withdraw.
But after actually seeing Chen Mo, that little bit of confidence was gone.
Taking action now will only lead to certain death.
We must first find a way to stall him.
Once the wounded and the main force have all left, she will find an opportunity to retreat. As long as she creates enough distance, she might be able to escape.
Katyusha took a deep breath.
You've just been in a battle; you'll need time to recover.
She pointed outside the city, "Once the troops have all withdrawn, I'll go with you to a place where there's no one. Then, whatever you want to do, I won't refuse."
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.
Do you think I'm new here and don't understand your little schemes?
Katyusha's expression remained unchanged. "You're overthinking it. I didn't mean that."
"You plan to stall until the troops leave, then find a chance to escape."
Chen Mo stared at her. "Is that right?"
"No."
Do you think I trust you?
Katyusha took a deep breath, mobilizing the energy within her body, and an almost entirely golden light emanated from her eyes.
"We don't necessarily have to fight."
Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately pulled the wounded man back.
Yelena also raised her hands.
Katyusha is not your enemy.
"I know."
Chen Mo casually replied, "But that doesn't stop me from eating."
Yelena's expression froze.
This reason is completely irrefutable.
Katyusha suddenly looked up, and the energy within her body was aimed at Chen Mo and shot out.
But all she could see was empty air.
Chen Mo appeared behind her without her noticing, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Good technique. It's a pity the speed was a bit slow."
Katyusha reached behind her with her hand.
Chen Mo's hand seemed to be welded to her shoulder, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
The next second, dark red smoke rose from beneath their feet.
The teleportation ability was activated, and space rapidly distorted.
Katyusha felt a strong sense of alarm, and the energy within her body erupted without reservation, the intense energy lingering in place for only a fraction of a second.
A terrifying shockwave exploded out, violently blowing the surrounding soldiers away.
" Katyusha!"
Yelena rushed towards the two.
Her outstretched hand passed only through a dissipating wisp of dark red smoke.
The spot was now completely deserted.
A group of soldiers lay sprawled on the street.
One officer, realizing what was happening, immediately scrambled to his feet and shouted to those around him, "Search the vicinity! Seal off all exits!"
Another officer grabbed his arm.
"Didn't you see? They didn't leave from the street."
"We still have to find them!"
Where to look?
No one could answer that.
Yelena stood where the smoke had dissipated, her expression growing increasingly grim.
She originally thought Chen Mo only possessed great strength and a strange ability to devour.
It now seems that they knew far too little about this person.
From appearance to disappearance, the entire process took less than a second.
The other side of the world.
Japan.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above Tokyo.
The instant the figure appeared, a golden sphere exploded simultaneously.
boom!
A dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky, instantly shattering the city and turning large areas of buildings into dust in the energy impact.
The ground suddenly caved in.
The next second, the shockwave from the explosion swept across all directions, carrying with it debris and dust.
