Dense artillery fire roared in the ruins. Alex kept dodging back and forth, looking sharply at the helicopter that was harassing him in the sky.
"What a bunch of annoying flies!"
The initial infiltration went smoothly, but soon after he entered the infected area, he was discovered by a helicopter in the sky and was shot dead without saying a word.
After finding that guns were useless to him, he directly contacted the surrounding troops and asked them to bombard the area with artillery fire, making it difficult for him to move for a while.
laugh…
Several more shells fell in front of him, and his left hand instantly turned into a bone shield for protection. But even so, the impact of the explosion made him take two steps back, and his control over the cells in his body weakened by two points.
This can't go on, Alex's eyes narrowed.
Being in the artillery array would not cause any harm to him in the short term, but as time went on, when the energy in his body was exhausted, he would be in danger of death.
Of course, the above was all under the condition that he could take it head-on. In fact, he could withstand the attack to destroy the artillery array, or he could temporarily evacuate to avoid the attack range of the artillery shells. The current situation was far from being a real threat to him.
However, his purpose of coming here this time was not to fight with the military. Going to attack the military artillery formation would sacrifice his original purpose.
And if he were to withstand the bombardment all the way to Elizabeth, according to his perception of the virus, there was still nearly two kilometers to go, and if he did so, the energy loss would be quite great.
By then, with his exhausted body, he would face Elizabeth, who was well-rested and much stronger than him. There was a possibility that he would really die here, but he could not make this choice.
In this case, the only way to think of is to move forward without being bombarded by artillery shells.
This method is not difficult to say. After the body has undergone several evolutions, running at full speed, a hundred meters will only take three seconds. As long as there are no shells blocking the road, two kilometers will only take one minute.
However, if he wanted to prevent the shells from accurately hitting his surroundings, he would need to remove the opponent's eyes first.
The rumbling sound never stopped, and the impact of the explosion forced him to roll back and forth to relieve the force.
When he stood up again, he held several rolling stones in his right palm.
"Height 200 meters, wind speed 4, the required force..."
The moment he stood up, his pupils contracted extremely, and the pilot in the helicopter, which was hovering 200 meters in the air, was clearly visible as if he was right in front of him.
Under the control of Alex's subjective consciousness, brain cells began to overclock, and countless pieces of information gathered in the brain through the body's senses, producing a corresponding result.
The muscles in his right hand expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, his arm became several inches thicker than his entire body.
And in the next second when everything was ready, his muscular right arm swung violently, and the stone in his palm broke through the sound barrier in an instant, and hit the key position of the helicopter with an extremely fierce gust of wind, causing it to spiral and fall to the ground, causing a violent explosion.
Seeing that this method worked, Alex picked up a few stones again and blew up the helicopter that was hovering overhead and monitoring him. Then his body suddenly jumped up, rushed through the dense artillery array in a few jumps, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the huge virus gathering he sensed.
"Time is still a little tight. If I could have more time to get familiar with it, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Without any obstacles, Alex thought to himself as he ran at full speed in the ruins.
As a virus prototype himself, his potential is extremely amazing.
And after learning the meditation method from Colin, he couldn't stop.
Although the meditation method is short in practice, the meditation method Colin gave him has the effect of refining other thoughts to strengthen one's own spirit.
Generally speaking, this method is nothing. After all, even if ordinary people have mixed thoughts, it can only have some advantages in the early stage. In the later stage, when the practice of the method becomes more profound, the distracting thoughts will naturally become less and less, and the effect here will be almost zero.
But for Alex, leaving aside his own distracting thoughts, due to his special physique, all the life he absorbs will have corresponding memories and soul fragments deposited in his body.
As the meditation method began to be refined, these soul fragments and messy memories that were originally extremely harmful to him, after being refined, turned into pure spiritual energy, causing Alex's spiritual essence to rise sharply!
And because of his special physique in which the soul and body are completely integrated, the spiritual increase is also directly reflected in the physical body.
The control over the body, cells, and spirit is a world of difference compared to before practicing, and the gap is constantly widening.
At present, his development of his body can't even be called 11th level.
If he were to become completely familiar with his own body, the previous predicament would be easily solved.
"right here… "
Alex stopped inside an abandoned building covered with bloody fungal carpets and looked down.
He could sense that Elizabeth Green was right under his feet.
After looking around, he quickly found the way to the underground and went down quickly.
…
Command center.
Soon after the gunfire rang out, the surveillance footage from the helicopter was connected to the large screen inside the command center.
And when they saw the scene where Alex endured the explosion without getting hurt and shot down the fighter plane with stones, the meeting room fell silent.
"General?"
An officer who had just received the news broke the tense atmosphere in the meeting room.
When General Sid heard this, he turned his eyes back from the extinguished screen and ordered in a stern voice: "Mobilize all our satellites and fighter planes to find the intruder!"
"yes!"
A group of officers responded hurriedly, and several of them walked out of the meeting room to do their work.
General Sid took a look and set his sights on the solemn-looking one-armed soldier, General Peter.
"Why is he here?"
Through the video, he had already recognized that the invader was the target that the infected people had broken out to deal with.
In his opinion, there must be a very strong reason why the two groups of virus evolvers were targeting each other.
If you don’t figure it out in advance, it is likely to result in huge losses.
"You shouldn't be asking me that, General."
General Peter replied with a stronger tone.
He also wanted to know what the problem was. After all, these two parties were enemies that he had to eliminate.
As for saying this is just pure revenge...
As far as he knew, there had been no previous disputes between Alex Mercer and Elizabeth Green, and anyone with a common sense would never go to a battlefield surrounded by troops to retaliate against the enemy who was fighting the American army.
Therefore, Alex's actions this time must be related to the virus evolution that Raymond mentioned before.
After seeing the fighting power displayed by Alex this time, he was greatly shocked.
Likewise, Elizabeth Green's strength gave him a lot of headaches.
No matter who succeeds the other, it is not good news for him, Blackwatch, and Hydra, and they must find a way to stop this possibility.
He didn't know how to do it, but it didn't matter, his subordinate Raymond must know.
But now that Alex has gone deep into the enemy's territory, he doesn't have much time left.
"I have something else to do, so I can't stay here any longer. I'll send someone to deliver the corresponding virus measures later."
After speaking a little hastily, General Peter turned and walked out.
General Sid watched General Peter approach the gate and called out, "General Peter."
"I have no intention of pursuing other people's secrets and plans, but if my mission fails because of someone else..."
"I promise, whoever that person is, he will regret it for the rest of his life!!"
With sharp eyes like a wolf roaring to the sky, General Peter, who had already reached the door, paused for a moment, and finally walked out without saying anything.
"Everyone, be alert and monitor the infected area closely. If you find any unusual movement, bomb it with artillery shells immediately!"
General Sid's roar echoed in the command center. General Peter, who had already walked out of the house, looked back, got into the special car, and called the base.
…
Boom... Boom... Boom...
In the tunnel covered with bloody and fleshy fungi, waves of sounds like heartbeats echoed inside.
Alex walked in the dark passage and stopped about ten meters away from where the sound came from.
He sensed the danger.
Every cell in his body was telling him that he'd better leave here as soon as possible, but he was no longer the same person he was before. He already had an idea of what he would face after coming here.
He stood still calmly. Although the light in the cave was almost dim, his spiritual perception brought by his multi-evolved body and meditation meant that darkness alone would not affect his senses.
Looking at the spherical space not far below, and the huge ball of flesh in the center of the space that was connected by countless blood and flesh threads and kept beating, he called out, "Elizabeth Green."
The sound vibrated through the air and was transmitted.
The moment the sound wave touched the flesh ball, the flesh ball began to beat faster and faster, and after reaching a limit, it exploded, revealing a naked girl without even a single flaw on her body.
The white and tender feet landed on the blood and flesh fungal carpet below. The moment of contact, the fungal carpet spontaneously climbed upwards, and in the interweaving of blood and flesh threads, it turned into clothes that covered Elizabeth's entire body.
Alex did not take the opportunity to attack her, but waited until she was dressed and tidied, then jumped down from the cave above and stood on the ground.
"You're early, my child." Elizabeth looked at Alex and spoke.
Although his features were more refined and perfect, his voice was still hoarse and had the same accent as if countless people were speaking.
Alex ignored what Elizabeth said, and looked at the delicate girl in front of him with all his strength, and asked intently, "Why did you send someone to attack me?"
Elizabeth answered honestly: "To test whether you are qualified."
"What qualifications?" Alex asked.
Elizabeth did not reply.
Alex looked at him, sneered, and didn't dwell on it. He changed the question and asked, "What are the results of your test?"
Elizabeth smiled and said, "Very satisfied."
"Satisfied? But I'm very angry!"
Looking at Elizabeth's smile, a surge of anger suddenly surged in Alex's heart.
Just for some bullshit test, they sent monsters to take his life, and even implicated his relatives and friends.
There was no need to talk to this kind of person anymore. He immediately controlled his arm to transform it into a sharp bone knife, leaped seven or eight meters high, and chopped down at Elizabeth's head.
huff!
The Bone Ninja cut through the air with a sharp sound. With this strike, even fighter planes and tanks would be split in two in an instant.
However, facing this extremely powerful attack, Elizabeth simply raised her hand and condensed a dark bone stick less than two meters long, easily taking the blow that could cut through one-meter-thick steel.
Boom!
A shock wave spread out from the intersection of the knife and the stick.
Alex took advantage of the momentum to step back, looking at the tiny cracks on the bone blade that were healing rapidly, his face solemn.
When the two intersected, he was attacking from above, and the object he was attacking was a blade-like object, so he should have had the advantage.
But the result was that he was injured, while the bone stick condensed by Elizabeth did not show any signs of damage.
This is not just a matter of losing the battle, it also shows that he is inferior to Elizabeth in terms of evolution.
"Not coming?"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Elizabeth suddenly appeared in front of Alex, and the bone stick in her hand directly inserted into Alex's abdomen.
Without time to think, he swung his arm blade to force Elizabeth back, then he stepped back violently and looked over in shock.
He only saw a trace of the previous attack, and even then, because the space was not big, Elizabeth's horror was still visible.
But since he dared to come, he must be confident.
A light red mist began to surge all over his body, and his body surface temperature rose to at least fifty degrees.
These days, especially after acquiring the meditation method and meeting super strong people like Elizabeth and Colin, he often thought about how to improve his combat power beyond the normal level.
After careful consideration and practicing meditation, his control over his body became increasingly stronger, and he was able to successfully develop a model.
Increase the blood flow rate in the body to enhance strength and explosive power, increase the number of nerve synapses in the body, increase the speed of nerve reaction, fully overclock brain cells, and enhance combat awareness and sense of time.
When entering this state which he named Explosion Mode, the strength will be improved by several levels compared to the normal state, but at the same time, because of the incomplete development, this state will consume a great deal of energy in the body and cannot be sustained.
But for general battles, it is enough.
He opened his red eyes and looked at Elizabeth who was looking at him with a slightly surprised look. He said coldly, "Let's start, the second round!"
