Da da da da!!!
Gunshots rang out.
Just as the quick-reacting gunmen pulled their triggers, amidst the billowing smoke, the black-haired youth calmly stepped out, seemingly oblivious to the oncoming bullets.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A hail of bullets struck his body, sending up bursts of blinding sparks, but not even a scratch was left.
This horrifying sight turned the faces of the ordinary gang members who were watching instantly ashen.
boom!
With a deafening sonic boom, Chen Xiao's figure vanished abruptly, reappearing in front of a gunman, his fist slamming out fiercely.
In an instant, screams of agony filled the workshop. Some people were sent flying through the walls like cannonballs, while others were crushed by fists, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Within seconds, the entire scene fell silent. All the armed personnel were swiftly and decisively killed, as if they were mere ants being crushed.
"As expected, these mortals are far too weak for me."
A whisper drifted away, Chen Xiao's figure flashed, accelerating through the air and instantly entering supersonic speed. His right fist struck a load-bearing concrete pillar with a diameter of over one meter.
boom!
The giant pillar exploded, the steel bars twisted and snapped, and rubble flew everywhere like bullets!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
He transformed into a Berserk war beast, smashing through more than ten main pillars in succession, then crashing through the wall and breaking into the adjacent workshop.
Ignoring the panicked cries of the defenders, he flashed again, sonic booms echoing continuously, his punches landing with brutal force, and in the blink of an eye, all the remaining pillars of the entire building collapsed.
He then crashed through the side wall and leaped into the left-hand staircase...
From above, the entire circular building trembled violently, with smoke and dust billowing at the bottom, before slowly tilting to the south amidst countless cries and screams.
boom!
The 100-meter-long circular building, consisting of four 20-story towers, collapsed with a deafening roar, causing the earth to tremble and smoke to billow into the sky.
In the face of such a collapse, almost none of the remaining armed personnel survived; most were buried alive and crushed to death. Those who managed to escape were mostly seriously injured and on the verge of death, saving Chen Xiao the trouble of clearing them out one by one.
Meanwhile, the morale of the Trunk Gang hiding in the buildings on the surrounding streets collapsed upon seeing this scene, and many of them threw down their guns and surrendered on the spot.
Only a few ignorant survivors continued to resist, but they were quickly cut into more than a dozen pieces by a figure shrouded in blood mist, whose killing intent was overwhelming, leaving no survivors.
boom!
The reinforced concrete building collapsed with a deafening roar, filling the air with smoke and dust. Chen Xiao landed slowly, his robes spotless.
At this moment, Trunk was still underground, bewildered and helpless, the entire base continued to tremble, and all communications were cut off.
When he saw the black-haired youth descending unharmed from the smoke and dust, his face instantly darkened. " Vitas Chen, you've gotten here so quickly."
The five trusted men beside him, including the man in the turban, were all on high alert, their guns pointed at Chen Xiao, their faces filled with fear.
Chen Xiao didn't even glance at the gun barrels, his gaze sweeping over Trunk and the others, his tone flat. "What, surprised?"
Despite his shock, Trunk, unaware that the entire upstairs gang had been wiped out, maintained his composure as a gang leader, his voice low and menacing. "Indeed unexpected... Where are my men?"
"Dead."
"What?!"
"Impossible!" the man in the turban exclaimed in shock, while the other thugs also looked on incredulously.
Chen Xiao said calmly, "Don't be surprised. Soon, you will be reunited with them."
"Do it!"
Trunk roared, pulled a machine gun from behind the sofa, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and slammed his finger down on the trigger.
What he just said was just a feint, a way to buy himself a few seconds to catch his breath and distract Chen Xiao.
The instant Trunk pulled the trigger, the man in the turban and his men immediately opened fire without hesitation.
In an instant, a dense hail of bullets rained down on Chen Xiao, especially the bullets spewed by the heavy machine gun, which had astonishing kinetic energy. Not to mention flesh and blood, even a two-centimeter-thick alloy steel plate would be torn apart and pierced on the spot.
Can...
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Chen Xiao remained motionless, letting countless bullets strike his body, producing a piercing metallic clang.
"Why do you all always think that a bullet can really kill me?" he said calmly, his right hand suddenly clenching into a fist as he forcefully threw it forward.
boom!
The air suddenly exploded, and the shockwave surged like the roar of an angry dragon.
That Berserk, almost tyrannical force swept out, causing all the incoming bullets to pause, then swirl back with the force of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, slamming heavily into Trunk and the others.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
These people were just ordinary flesh and blood; how could they withstand such a crushing impact? They exploded instantly, bits of flesh flying everywhere, blood mist spreading. The lingering force of the punches pierced the wall behind them.
Boom!!
The entire load-bearing wall collapsed with a roar, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the sky, shaking the entire building.
Bang!
Before the dust had even settled, Chen Xiao had already leaped into the air, his figure like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for tonight's real target: the No. 109 Research Institute building in the eastern part of the city.
As for the cleanup at the scene? That was left to Stodod and his men.
If they can't even handle this small situation or clean up this mess, then they don't deserve to be in their current positions.
Just as Chen Xiao flew over the city, on the edge of the rooftop of a low building, the red-haired girl who had just killed several Trunk Gang slowly looked up.
She stood amidst the corpses, her body shimmering with crimson light, like a demon emerging from purgatory.
Its aura had nearly doubled compared to before, and it was unknown how many lives it had already taken.
Meanwhile, inside Laboratory 109, Dr. Sterns, in his thirties, was bending over to adjust the equipment.
In the center of the test bed, young Bruce Banner was firmly restrained by straps; he was none other than the Hulk, who was desperately searching for a way to suppress the Berserk power within him.
"As soon as you said you were coming, I started preparing the inhibitors for today's experiment."
"But I must tell you in advance: the energy contained in the gamma-mutated cells in your body far exceeds normal levels. Whether this is a permanent eradication or just a temporary suppression, I'm not entirely certain."
As Stern started the instrument, he explained it to Bruce.
Once all the equipment was running, he turned around, his eyes brimming with excitement. "Ready, Bruce? I'm about to begin."
Bruce growled, "Come on."
Beside him, his girlfriend Betty clenched her fingers, her face pale.
Buzz!
The moment the machine started, Bruce's blood was drawn out and injected with a special drug, causing excruciating pain that felt like it was being torn apart.
Stern quickly walked around to the foot of the bed, holding an electric shock device in his hand, and said rapidly, "I have repeatedly verified that the mutated cells in your body are normally in deep dormancy."
"The reason I transformed into the Hulk is because residual Gamma Radiation in my pineal gland was accidentally activated. Therefore, I must first awaken it with an electric current for the drug to truly take effect."
"Pay attention..."
"Roar!!!"
The instant the electric current pierced Bruce's body, a destructive energy erupted! Veins bulged, his skin turned a terrifying green, his muscles swelled wildly, and his bones creaked...
While Bruce was undergoing a transformation in the laboratory, an armored convoy from the America military approached the building and quickly sealed off all entrances and exits.
A large number of Mexico police officers appeared simultaneously on the surrounding streets, cooperating with the US military to set up checkpoints and maintain order, indicating that the two sides had clearly reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Downstairs at the laboratory, Blonsky, dressed in special operations gear, was the first to jump off the armored vehicle, pressing his earpiece to report, "General, all exits are now sealed off."
Inside the command vehicle in the distance, Thaddeus Ross, his temples graying, responded in a deep voice, "Make sure my daughter is safe."
Blonsky's lips curled into a smirk, a mixture of excitement and malice in his eyes. "Understood, General."
"GO! GO! GO!"
The elite squad stormed into the building without encountering any significant resistance or the intense firefight Thaddeus Ross had anticipated.
A few minutes later, a report came through the communicator, "General, the target has been successfully apprehended."
"What!?"
Thaddeus Ross paused, his face suddenly darkening. "Bring him down immediately."
The command vehicle immediately started and sped towards the building.
Soon, he saw Bruce downstairs, who had been injected with sedatives and whose hands were handcuffed behind his back, and Betty standing to the side with a cold expression.
Looking at the calm and composed young man before him, who no longer exuded any sense of oppression, Thaddeus Ross frowned. "Let's go, take him back to base first."
At his command, the armored convoy quickly assembled, roaring in and then roaring away.
However, he did not notice that Blonsky was missing from the evacuation team.
At the same time, on the rooftop of a building a street away, Chen Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, stood with his arms crossed and his gaze cold and stern, taking in everything.
Blonsky, who was holding a gun to Dr. Sterns's head in the lab and forcing him to inject him with Hulk blood, was also in his line of sight.
As the armored vehicle carrying Bruce drove past his feet, Chen Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering.
But he ultimately did not make a move, letting the convoy drive away.
He wasn't very interested in the Hulk.
Admittedly, the angrier the opponent, the stronger they become, with no upper limit according to legend. However, this "strength" is still essentially limited to the human scale.
Otherwise, if Thanos were to become infinitely enraged and infinitely stronger, he would have been crushed to dust long ago.
Even Iron Man's Hulkbuster Armor, specifically designed to counter the Hulk, can withstand his power, indirectly proving that no matter how fierce the Hulk is, he is not an insurmountable ultimate force.
If he truly possessed the power to shatter a planet with a single punch, why would he care about armor? One punch would reduce them all to scrap metal.
However, the Hulk blood sample that Stern had secretly cultivated in the lab is worth noting.
The mutated cells contained within may be helpful for Chen Xiao's subsequent research on the X-Gene.
For example, could we try targeted induction to cultivate Mutants with Hulk- level strength?
Either they could decode the Hulk's genetic sequence and implant the technology into Clarice or Yidileisi, granting them that devastating power...
Oops! Stop!
The thought of the obedient and docile Clarice and the charming and flamboyant Yidileisi transforming into a giant, green-bodied, muscular monster sent a chill down Chen Xiao's spine.
He quickly shook his head, trying to banish the image from his mind.
