Chapter 666: Get out of here immediatelyTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the Mojave Desert, the debris from the aftermath of the battle littered all over the place. Though Xiao Luo did not want to kill on purpose, he did not avoid killing everyone in sight. Several corpses of the Mei Nation soldiers were scattered in the desert. But most of the soldiers laid on the scorching desert sand with severe injuries. Some had burns on different parts of their bodies, some had broken limbs, while some had more severe injuries like being impaled by sharp metal objects. The moans of pain shattered the silence of the desert.
Xiao Luo had crushed an entire legion of the Mei Nation army all by himself!
Xiao Luo was standing on a tank that had turned on its side. His surging inner power had been so forceful that it tore through his clothing. He stood half naked. The top half of his muscular body was bare, and the black pants he was wearing had clung to his lower half in tattered shreds. He was still radiating a powerful aura. Under the scorching sun and raging sandstorm, with his hair blown by the wind, he looked like a G.o.d of Death in that desert.
He moved his eyes to stare at the last fighter jet flying in the sky.
In the aircraft, the two pilots feared for their safety. “Let"s get out of here, right now!” the terrified pilot shouted to his copilot.
Before the pilot had made that decision, his comrade had already turned the jet around. He wanted to escape from the land of death at the quickest possible speed.
“You want to run away?” Xiao Luo said as he stared at the jet.
Xiao Luo smirked as he used the Qigong technique to leap toward the fighter jet.
After running speedily for two hundred meters, he stomped hard on the ground. Then he leaped into the sky in an unrivaled style. He soared up like a ray of light. In a blink of an eye, he had traveled a dozen meters and reached the aircraft. He then impaled his ten fingers into the fuselage of the fighter jet.
“He"s below us. He"s below our jet!” The copilot screamed in horror.
“Then you better f*cking shoot him!” the pilot shouted back.
The pilot who was flying the jet was equally alarmed.
The copilot grabbed a revolver and aimed at the bottom of the jet. Then he started shooting as he yelled loudly.
BANG! BANG!
The copilot squeezed the trigger without letting go, and it did not take more than a minute to finish a magazine of bullets.
The bullets pierced through the lower section of the fuselage, which looked like a sieve. Through it, they could see the yellow sands of the desert below them.
The two fighter jet pilots stared down and were gasping as they broke out in a cold sweat.
They wondered if that terrifying demon had already fallen off from the jet.
Both pilots had the same thought in mind, but they knew it was impossible to kill Xiao Luo. He was invincible. They had seen him swat a bomb away like a fly. How on earth would the bullets from a revolver hurt him? They prayed he had jumped off their fighter jet.
The copilot peeped through the bullet holes below and checked to see if Xiao Lou was still there. When he saw that Xiao Luo was not there, he felt relieved. He nodded to the pilot and signaled to him that Xiao Luo was gone.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the hatch of the fighter jet.
BANG!
They turned around and saw the hatch had been torn away forcefully. To their horror, that opening in the plane caused a loss of cabin pressure. The noise from the engines was so loud that it caused their ears to ring. The most horrifying sight to the pilots was Xiao Luo standing outside the hatch. His left hand held onto the side, while his right hand held the torn door. He was staring at them like a savage wolf.
Xiao Luo threw the door out of the aircraft and stepped into the jet. He then sat down on the backseat gracefully.
“To the invisible jet research base!”
He had said it calmly, but his tone was firm and commanding.
“Roger.”
The two pilots did not dare to oppose his order. To survive, they complied in fear. They diverted the flight toward the invisible jet research base as fast as they could.
Xiao Luo looked around the aircraft and broke the storage drawer with his bare hand. He took out a spare new camouflage combat suit. He estimated the fit and then put it on.
The copilot felt insecure as he stared at Xiao Luo, who was putting on the combat suit. Even though he had a revolver in his hand, he still could not help but shake uncontrollably. It was a harrowing experience to be so close to a monster that even bombs and bullets could not kill. He no longer felt in control of his life.
“Jet 55. Come in, over. Reply if you hear this. Urgent. Reply immediately!” The Secretary of Defense"s voice came through the communication channel.
The two pilots did not dare to reply. They looked at Xiao Luo in fear and waited for his instruction.
Xiao Luo was putting on a beige combat boot and looked pleased that it was comfortable. He did not bother to look up and continued to put on the other boot. “Answer him,” he ordered.
“Roger.”
The copilot nodded and replied, “Jet 55, copy. Jet 55, copy. Over!”
“Report the location of Xiao Han, the Thousand-Face Killer, immediately!” Arnold ordered.
They both looked at Xiao Luo with fear. The copilot replied with a shaky voice, “Xiao Han, the Thousand-Face Killer, he…he"s in our jet right now.”
“What?”
That reply had made everyone in the Was.h.i.+ngton underground base gasp. When that bone-chilling response came through the communication channel, they felt as if Xiao Luo was standing before them.
Arnold, the Secretary of Defense, calmed himself down and said, “Let me talk to him!”
The copilot held the walkie-talkie, and then he turned to Xiao Luo. “Mr. Xiao… Mr. Xiao Han, our Secretary of Defense has something to say,” he said nervously.
Xiao Luo had just finished putting on his outfit. He took a glance at the walkie-talkie and asked calmly, “What do you want?”
Hearing his voice, everyone in the Was.h.i.+ngton underground base shuddered involuntarily. Xiao Luo terrorized them.
“Mr. Xiao Han, I am Arnold, the Secretary of Defense. I am expressing our utmost sincere apology to you on behalf of the entire Mei Nation!” Arnold said.
Xiao Luo felt amused and teased, “I"ve destroyed an entire legion of your army, and you"re apologizing to me?”
Arnold felt awkward, and the others who were listening felt somewhat overwhelmed. No one had ever put the Mei Nation in such a subservient position. But Xiao Luo"s power had exceeded their expectation, so they had to give in.
“Mr. Xiao Han, I am sincerely pleading with you to stop your action. We can discuss the issue, and I believe that this matter is negotiable,” Arnold said politely. He had presented himself in a humble disposition.
“Stop my action now? Do you mean to stop me from destroying your invisible jet research base?” Xiao Luo snapped.
“Yes, we would provide you with a favorable trade-off,” Arnold continued.
“I"m afraid that this matter is not negotiable. I am going to destroy that invisible jet research base for sure.”
Xiao Luo coldly interrupted him and continued, “Everything will be over once I destroy it. I will leave the Mei Nation on my own. But of course, if you want me to remain here, I"ll stay for a while more.”
Stay for a while more?
Every cabinet minister looked uncomfortable when they heard him say that.
Xiao Luo had only been in the Mei Nation for a few days and had already caused so much destruction. Citizens were protesting everywhere in the country. If Xiao Luo stayed for a little longer, he would stir up another bout of chaos for the Mei Nation.
No, absolutely not. The federal government needed to send that jinx away. The sooner, the better. The farther, the better. They had to make sure that he never returned to the Mei Nation again!
The cabinet ministers gave Arnold the same look of agreement. They would give in to his every demand. If he wanted to destroy the invisible jet base, let him do it, they thought. They could rebuild it within four to five years, in the worst-case scenario. At that moment, the priority was to get that uncompromising monster out of their country as soon as possible.
