Chapter 316 The Annihilation of the Cards
"Ah, the F-Team actually encountered them."
"They're lucky. I wanted to see how powerful those extraterrestrial Symbiotes that Boss is interested in really are."
"Once those guys from Red Nine take action, we'll basically have no chance."
Receiving the distress message from the F-Team Card Bearers, in the dim corners and rooftop summits of the New York City area, other Card Bearers teams clad in black leather jackets and devil masks appeared intermittently. After expressing regret, they swiftly headed towards the street where the target was located.
In less than ten minutes, nearly four Card Bearers teams arrived at the scene where the distress message originated. After nodding and exchanging greetings, they vigilantly surveyed the quiet late-night streets.
Something was off— too off!
There shouldn't be a scene of extraordinary battle unfolding here. Why couldn't they see a single figure, and why was it so eerily silent?
"Could Red Nine and the others have already dealt with the target?" Red Eighteen wondered.
"Over there, detecting life signs." Another Card Bearer with a detection device spoke, pointing to a dark alley.
'Swish, Swish, Swish!'
Several Card Bearers figures flashed, moving rapidly to a position ten meters away. In an instant, they arrived at the edge of the alley.
Looking inside under the dim streetlights, the scene that met their eyes made their pupils contract, and they collectively sucked in a cold breath.
In the narrow alley between two large buildings, the sturdy walls on both sides had completely collapsed. The cement ground was full of uneven giant footprints, and everywhere were marks created by firearms, blades, and fists. It seemed like this place had been baptized by an inhuman intense battle.
Red Nine, the captain of the Carl Family's F-Team, lay in a two-meter-deep pit in the middle of the alley, covered in blood and injuries. He lay in the shape of a '大' character, and his high-tech alloy sword was bent and broken, with one section stuck into the edge of the pit.
Red Ten was buried in a pile of rubble. A shattered hand emerged weakly from the pile of stones, limply descending. Beside him, the Barrett sniper rifle had been mashed into a lump of scrap metal.
Red Eleven, the only female in the F-Team, clad in a torn black leather jacket that exposed large areas of fair skin, was stuck on the external wall of the adjacent building's third floor. Her demonic mask had long disappeared, revealing dispirited eyes that displayed a completely played-out appearance.
It was an unbearable sight of complete annihilation.
The three Card Bearerss didn't hesitate and briskly approached, bringing the F-Team Card Bearerss together. After a thorough inspection of each one, Red Five, the leader of Team B, finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, they're just severely injured, losing their combat capability, but there's no danger to their lives."
Red Fifteen was bewildered and said, "From the F-Team's distress call to our arrival here, it's been just over eight minutes. In such a short time, the three F-Team Card Bearers are on the verge of death?"
"No," Red Five said with a serious expression, judging, "If it weren't for Red Nine and the others, if ordinary soldiers encountered them, they probably would have died beyond death by now."
The group of Card Bearers fell into silence, shocked beyond measure.
They had walked at the forefront of human evolution on Earth, surpassing others in mutations and technology. This was why the Card Bearers had dominated the underground world of Earth for several decades.
In their usual operations, whether dealing with the Mafia, assassins, or national forces, the Card Bearers always effortlessly crushed and overwhelmed their opponents.
Yet, tonight, facing just one opponent, three Card Bearerss together couldn't last for more than ten minutes...
A Card Bearer muttered, "This is too exaggerated. What kind of monster did they encounter?"
Not just him, but all the Card Bearers on the scene had this doubt.
Of course, a collective setback for the Card Bearerss was precisely what Kyle was very pleased to see.
Living in peace on Earth for an extended period could lead to complacency. Taking advantage of the time before an extraterrestrial invasion war broke out, Kyle wanted the Card Bearers to understand that there were always stronger entities beyond Earth, serving as a genuine exercise to prepare for an extraterrestrial invasion.
On the other side, on the neighboring street where the battle took place, on the rooftop of a towering building.
Under the chilly night sky, a humanoid dark monster repeated its actions of sprinting and jumping. It used the towering skyscrapers as stepping stones, leaping through the air to escape at extreme speed.
Clearly, it was injured too. Along the way, it left behind small droplets of dark liquid.
Venom asked in a raspy mental voice, "Why didn't you kill those three people just now? They managed to hurt me. Such formidable enemies should have their heads bitten off in respect."
"Didn't you see? They're from the Supernatural Incident Bureau. Compared to them, both you and I are outright villains. How many times do I have to say this for you to understand?" Eddie replied without patience.
Venom arrogantly said, "Then why are we running? With their strength, a few more won't be able to fight with me."
"What if the Symbol of Peace comes?" Eddie asked.
"Symbol of Peace..." Faced with this name, Venom's voice softened. As long as you arrived in New York City, everyone knew that there was an undefeated legendary hero here.
Although Venom trusted its own strength, the legendary feats of the Symbol of Peace were truly terrifying, and the public treated him as a human god, spreading his name to maintain peace.
Venom hesitated for a moment, then said with a stern voice, "If we can't win then we can just escape."
"Hmph," Eddie also didn't expose it. He sprinted to the rooftop of a building, about to leap across to the building on the other side of the street.
Jumping out of the building and reaching the highest point, Eddie's face changed drastically as a powerful gravitational force dragged him harshly toward the ground below.
"What's this?" Venom was equally caught off guard and the humanoid monster in the symbiotic state plummeted downward.
"I'm going to hit the ground; think something!" Eddie shouted in panic. In the howling wind, his limbs swayed casually, and the ground below in his field of vision kept getting closer.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...
"It's not going to be that simple."
Just as it seemed he was about to hit the ground, Venom sneered. It manipulated its body to suddenly swing forward, the dark arm extending like rubber, grabbing the tenth-floor window frame of the building in front.
'Ka-Ching!'
Forcibly pulling down the entire window frame, it kicked off like a swing on the outer wall of the seventh floor, forcefully plunging its strong arms into the wall to slow down the descent.
'Ka-Ka-Ka!'
Speeding downward, it plowed through over ten meters of the building's outer wall. Eddie violently crushed the building's wall, and finally, with his palm bending a metal pole of a roadside street lamp, he landed in the center of the empty road unscathed.
"Who's there?" Eddie surveyed his surroundings as he spoke. The voice, processed by Venom, sounded raspy and domineering.
"Like he said, it's not that easy to deal with." A female voice came from behind a large tree beside the road.
Walking with an elegant stride, a green-haired beauty in a men's shirt and suit emerged. Her fair hand still emitted a green light mist, and her gem-like bright eyes were full of delight.
Finally, she found an opponent during Boss's absence.
