CHAPTER 9

Ding!

The bullet couldn't penetrate at all; it simply fell off. There wasn't even a trace of blood on Su Chen's forehead; just a slight abrasion on his skin.

[Steel Body+2]

Su Chen's skin resilience had improved, rendering the Edman sniper bullet insufficient compared to a prior nuclear explosion.

The rooftop sniper was stunned by the sight.

Meanwhile, in the park, a bullet was inexplicably pulled into the air by an invisible force, gaining terrifying energy from its target, and swiftly changing direction.

Electromagnetically accelerated, the bullet left a pale trail in the air, piercing through the eight-fold mirror and the head of the rooftop sniper.

"No need to move, they've surrounded this place," Su Chen calmly remarked from the bench.

"what...."

In the instinct of a professional killer, Mindy felt the atmosphere of Central Park grow tense. Gritting her teeth, she sensed figures lurking in the dark.

Lacking preparation, Mindy, armed only with hidden knives, looked to Su Chen for guidance.

"Why don't you come and kill them one by one?" Su Chen's indifferent expression contrasted Mindy's nerves.

Unaware of the surveillance equipment, Su Chen remained composed after escaping the experimental base.

There's always a solution. If they're willing to come, he didn't mind eliminating them all.

Mindy's smile turned bitter. Su Chen's arrogance surpassed hers; facing a modern army, she felt outmatched.

"You can hide," Su Chen advised, reluctant to involve others.

Pushing away the stray cat, Su Chen prepared for battle, realizing it unwise to remain by Mindy's side.

A bright searchlight illuminated Su Chen and Mindy.

"Uh..."

Mindy avoided the blinding light, her heart racing.

"No. 5162, surrender immediately," a voice commanded through a loudspeaker.

Su Chen recalled his assigned number from the experimental base, refusing to be dehumanized.

hum!

An invisible wave rippled around Su Chen as coins materialized into sharp needles, dispatching the attackers.

Accompanied by fireworks, the flying needles pierced through figures hiding in the dark, destroying the searchlight.

Despite the onslaught, a nearly invisible barrier protected Su Chen from harm.

"Careful!"

A giant figure emerged, tearing through the barrier and charging towards Su Chen.

---

Roar!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the monstrous figure, resembling a small mountain, shattered the barrier and charged at Su Chen.

Roar!

A thunderous roar echoed through the sky as an enormous monster descended from above, casting a shadow over Su Chen and Mindy. The moonlight was completely obscured by its imposing presence.

Wow!

The monster, resembling a mountain, radiated a shocking force as it crashed through the barrier, overwhelming Su Chen.

"Move aside," Su Chen's eyes flickered with determination as he unleashed a surge of thought power, causing the air to tremble around him.

In an instant, a devastating air cannonball, fueled by Su Chen's mind, struck the monster with incredible force, sending it hurtling several meters away.

Hu!

Mindy breathed a sigh of relief, shaken by the sudden appearance of the monster.

"It's not human! It's a monster!" she exclaimed, recoiling from the putrid odor emanating from the creature.

"This... This looks like the Hulk, or... something similar," Mindy muttered, recalling news reports of bioengineered monsters created by gamma ray experiments.

General Ross, hidden in the shadows, ordered the monster's demise.

Roar!

The transformed creature, imbued with intelligence, acknowledged General Ross's command with a resounding roar.

"Let's go!" General Ross commanded, unleashing sonic devices to incapacitate his targets.

Mindy collapsed in agony, clutching her ears as the sonic waves pierced her senses.

Infuriated, Su Chen roared, his rage shattering the calm.

Boom!

With a surge of power, Su Chen unleashed a devastating blast, obliterating the sonic devices and surrounding vehicles in a fiery explosion.

The monstrous figure charged at Su Chen, but he met it head-on, his determination unwavering.

Boom!

The collision between the two unleashed a shockwave, halting the monster in its tracks.
