As the sky gradually brightened, the morning light illuminated the street where the battle had just taken place. At the entrance of the supermarket, Li Mu stood coldly, his eyes gray and lifeless. The red mutant parrot perched on his shoulder, looking at Charlie with disdain and mockery.
Perhaps disliking Charlie's grotesque appearance as he tore into the flesh, the black bone spines on Li Mu's back suddenly moved, and with a whistling sound, they forcefully whipped Charlie away.
The red mutant parrot became even more mocking, "Idiot!"
Then, the red mutant parrot also flew up and was whipped away by the black bone spines on Li Mu's back, rolling to the ground with Charlie.
"Your Majesty, I'm f***ing angry!"
The red mutant parrot, with a fawning expression, cursed at Li Mu.
Li Mu's gray eyes paused for a moment, seeing the fawning look in the red mutant parrot's eyes, and he nodded slightly. He stepped forward, leaped into the air, and with the bone knife in his hand, stabbed into the wall of the building, quickly reaching the rooftop. Facing the rising sun, he slowly spread his arms, allowing the pendant on his chest to fully absorb the light and heat of the sun.
The red mutant parrot's eyes darted around, and it tiptoed to try to sneak away, but with a loud bang, the lightning rod on the roof suddenly transformed into a sharp sword, descending from the sky and slashing in front of the red mutant parrot, creating a terrifying gap on the street.
The red mutant parrot was so frightened that its legs turned to jelly. No matter how much it yearned for freedom, it didn't dare to move.
"Damn it, Your Majesty, you almost scared me to death."
The red mutant parrot screamed, "What kind of f***ing king are you! No food, no clothes, no salary, I can't live like this."
After cursing for a while, the red mutant parrot's legs were still weak. It barely managed to stand up and saw Charlie, with bloodshot eyes, struggling to crawl back to the mutated M2 and continue gnawing. This spirit of getting up to eat even if it meant dying made the red mutant parrot speechless.
It could only show respect, saluting Charlie, and then flapped its wings to go into the supermarket to find something to eat. Facing Li Mu's demonic hand, the red mutant parrot temporarily gave up the idea of running away. At least until it found a better opportunity, it decided not to try escaping again.
Because the king's intelligence seemed to be getting higher and higher.
Li Mu, facing the first ray of morning light, stood at the highest point of the dead city, his gray eyes calm and peaceful. He spread his arms, embracing the sunlight, as if the scene were eternal.
...
"Target locked, inputting combat model..."
Hawk Eye quickly typed on the computer, and Colonel Hoover, biting on a cigar, coldly looked up at Li Mu, who was standing on the rooftop, welcoming the first ray of morning light.
Behind Colonel Hoover, Eagle, Black Eagle, and Gray Eagle stood quietly, each with a square alloy box at their feet. Following Colonel Hoover's gaze, they looked at Li Mu, who was bathed in the morning light on the rooftop.
"Data input complete, system self-checking..."
A clear woman's voice, with a cold electronic quality, sounded calmly.
Colonel Hoover, Eagle, Black Eagle, Gray Eagle, and Hawk Eye each stood in front of their respective alloy boxes.
"Self-check complete, please input command."
When the electronic voice of the combat armor sounded again, everyone slowly spread their arms and spoke.
"Come on, my darling."
"Heathrow, I love you."
"My sword is your sword!"
"Royal army's territory, danger, do not enter!"
"Activate!"
When Colonel Hoover coldly uttered the two words, the members of the Falcon Team each activated the system according to the special voice commands pre-input.
Silently, the alloy boxes in front of Colonel Hoover and the others instantly split open, twisted, and deformed, with silver light dancing and covering their entire bodies.
Silver alloy armor enveloped Colonel Hoover's body in the blink of an eye. In just thirty seconds, the once ordinary Colonel Hoover transformed into a figure resembling Iron Man from the movies.
The super-strong alloy armor, capable of withstanding high temperatures and even the direct explosion of missiles, gave Colonel Hoover an almost invincible body. Twelve missiles hung from his right shoulder, a shoulder-mounted Gatling gun on his left shoulder, a laser gun in his right hand, and six types of special bombs in his left hand.
As for the other members of the Falcon Team, their appearance after equipping the combat armor was similar to Colonel Hoover's, with the only difference being the weapons they carried. Although it was just a five-person team, in previous simulated battles, the entire Falcon Team's combat power could crush an entire battalion. The only shortcoming was the energy system of the combat armor, which could only maintain high-intensity combat for one hour after full charging.
"Weapons system self-check complete. Information synchronization complete."
"Brainwave connection in progress, connection successful, welcome, Colonel."
The light screen in front of the combat armor helmet flickered with various data, and after thirty seconds, it finally stabilized. A pleasant voice sounded in Colonel Hoover's ear.
"Eagle, Black Eagle, Gray Eagle, Hawk Eye, are you ready?"
Colonel Hoover turned around, took a step, and the sharp and heavy combat armor immediately left a shallow footprint on the ground.
"Boss, we're ready!"
The other four gave Colonel Hoover a thumbs up and nodded.
"Good, Operation One." Colonel Hoover gave the order.
Eagle, Black Eagle, Gray Eagle, and Hawk Eye exchanged glances and immediately sprang into action, leaping off the rooftop.
"Eagle, in position."
"Black Eagle, reached the combat area."
"Gray Eagle, ready."
"Hawk Eye, at the designated location."
Colonel Hoover nodded and suddenly took a step, jumping off the rooftop. With a loud thud, he landed, crushing a car. Amidst the explosion of flames, Colonel Hoover coldly walked out of the fire, looked up, and saw Li Mu on the rooftop, "Let me give our target a little fireworks."
As he spoke, the missiles on Colonel Hoover's shoulder suddenly launched, leaving a brilliant trail in the sunlight as they hurtled towards Li Mu.
With a sharp whistling sound, Li Mu's eyes suddenly opened, a hint of blood red flashing in his gray eyes. Calm and疯狂, he stomped his foot, sending stones flying. He gripped a handful of stones in his left hand and threw them with incredible speed, like bullets, towards the incoming missiles.
Boom!
A spectacular explosion bloomed in the air, and the shockwave sent Li Mu flying off the rooftop. With his right hand, he wielded a bone knife, and the black bone spines on his back stabbed out repeatedly, allowing him to maintain balance in mid-air. He stepped on the building's wall, reversed his body, and with bloodshot eyes, he immediately locked onto Colonel Hoover, diving down with the force of a mountain.
Colonel Hoover sneered, took a step, and the terrifying speed provided by the combat armor instantly turned him into a swift blade, dodging Li Mu's aerial attack. Without engaging in a prolonged battle, he headed straight for the designated battlefield.
Li Mu, with bloodshot eyes, coldly watched Colonel Hoover flee and quickly pursued him.
On the famous shopping street in the center of Melbourne, a breathtaking chase immediately unfolded. Both Li Mu and Colonel Hoover, equipped with combat armor, moved at astonishing speeds, with nothing able to stop them.
As Li Mu and Colonel Hoover chased each other, the other members of the Falcon Team, who had been waiting at the designated battlefield, heard a cold electronic voice in their helmets almost simultaneously.
"The enemy will reach the battlefield in thirty seconds, crush them!"
PS: I found a picture of the combat armor, I'll post it later.
