390: Chapter 188 Neither Side Was Fully Prepared 390: Chapter 188 Neither Side Was Fully Prepared Meanwhile, inside the underground tunnel of the Consulate.
“It was you who led the cops through the door!”
Holy Grail Bishop Schmidt wiped a smear of soot from his face and asked Lyndon fiercely.
“Sorry, my lord, I only thought her talent was too exceptional.”
“With such exceptional talent, a woman can easily hook up with a man and be set for life, with no worries about food and clothing.
How could she possibly stoop to selling her flesh?
Are your brain vessels all clogged with butter, not giving this any thought?”
“It’s my fault…”
Sir Lyndon thought to himself, you damn well didn’t find any issues during the inspection phase either, not even noticing when someone brought in guns and grenades.
And you have the nerve to criticize me for not being careful?
Would I be so desperate if you weren’t pressuring me every day to find you material?
Unfortunately, he could only keep these thoughts bottled up inside and dared not voice them aloud.
“Their government meddles too much!”
The Lord Bishop ground his teeth in anger.
“They even have to interfere when a few women go missing on the streets.
Are they so full they have nothing better to do?
A government that abuses its power so excessively will sooner or later bring this country to ruin!”
“Now is not the time to talk about this, my lord.”
“You’re right.
Is the boat ready?”
“Not that quickly, my lord.
At least another half an hour…”
“We don’t have time!
I can already hear the whistling of bullets above ground.
How many troops have they deployed?
Damn it, there must be a mole!
Someone must have leaked information!”
The Lord Bishop paced back and forth anxiously, turning twice, and immediately ordered, “They’re so well-prepared that the river’s surface is probably not safe either.
Take the boat out to draw their attention; we’ll use the underground passage!”
“Yes, my lord.”
However, the situation was worse than they had anticipated.
As soon as the secret door opened, and the boat had not gone far, new gunfire erupted from the river outside.
“Ambush!
There are snipers on the opposite bank!”
On the underground passage side, two Salvation Army Knights charged in first but soon came back.
“There’s an ambush here too!
The passage is filled with smoke; they’re trying to smoke us out!”
“Then there’s nothing we can do…”
The Lord Bishop clenched his staff tightly, gritting his teeth, “I didn’t want it to come to this.
You’re forcing my hand.”
Sir Lyndon was silent for a long while and, after much contemplation, still approached and whispered, “Lord Bishop, the police are clearly well-prepared and ready.
If we make too much noise, even if we repel the police, we’ll attract the attention of the Special Service Bureau.
Under these circumstances…
a voluntary surrender might not be such an irrational choice.”
“What wishful thinking do you have?”
The Lord Bishop frowned at him.
“With matters having escalated to this point, do you still think your diplomat status can protect you?
The people of the Ming are proud, diehard racists.
Even if they don’t execute you by firing squad, they’ll send you to Vladivostok to dig potatoes, which would be worse than dying here.”
……
Above ground, Wang Yunxiao had just completed Forming Array, and several brothers gathered to form a blockade of rocks.
The Salvation Army Knights crashed against it fiercely like waves, only to be shattered to pieces in front of him.
Only then did Wang Yunxiao notice the truth behind the rapid recovery of those Heavy Cavalry and their mounts.
Those knights and their armor and weapons, including their mounts, were actually made up of palm-sized chunks of muscle, like a swarm of army ants…
No, it would be more accurate to say they were like the T-1000 in Terminator 2, entirely composed of nanomachines forming humanoid shapes.
Therefore, chopping off their heads or legs was of no use at all; these were just parts of the limbs they had feigned.
Even if severed, it didn’t affect the main body’s activity.
If a head was blown off, another would grow out, and if a leg was cut off, another would regenerate.
A barrel that emitted scalding heat and a deafening roar extended from beside Wang Yunxiao, resting on his shoulder.
He turned around and saw it was Veronica, who had put on the Multi-Dimensional Periscope.
Burning bullets erupted from her shotgun, shredding the Salvation Army Cavalry charging directly at them into flying blood and flesh.
Wang Yunxiao noticed that her gun barrel was now coated with a layer of holy brilliance, and each bullet seemed to burst with the thunderous noise of industrial machines forging high-carbon steel.
Gears and bearings of all sizes slowly rotated behind her.
This was the collision of flesh and steel!
As expected, flesh was annihilated under the iron crush of steel.
With their sacrificial blockade, the Church tactical squad gained maneuvering space and quickly retreated behind the walls of the Consulate’s perimeter.
The nun sisters expertly began to reload their bullets, and the squad leader at the front cast a grateful and confirming look towards Wang Yunxiao, then quickly fixed a bayonet to her rifle and loosened her collar to reveal a bright red scarf tied around her fair neck.
“For the glory of the motherland!”
A cry echoed to the heavens, and a thunderbolt struck from the clear sky.
Wang Yunxiao watched, wide-eyed, as the leggy squad leader’s black hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes turning golden with vertical pupils, and a halo emitting a holy light slowly rising above her head.
Then she raised her bayonet and leaped forward, launching a resolute countercharge at the incoming flood of Salvation Army Cavaliers.
Lightning accompanied her footsteps, leaving scorched trails on the ground, cutting down any man or Buddha that blocked her path.
Wang Yunxiao was stunned.
What Great Demon King Bick versus Super Kakarot?
Did I come to the wrong set today?
Director, there’s something wrong with this style!
He turned to ask Veronica, “Can you transform too?”
“Yes, but I need to shout a slogan, and it’s too embarrassing,”
Veronica answered unflinchingly.
Sister…
do you even know how to spell ’embarrassment’?
Who was that woman just now, pretending to be a streetwalker, with a neckline so low you could see the Northern Hemisphere and the Mariana Trench?
Before Veronica could finish, the squad leader who seemed to have transformed into Super Kakarot screamed in agony.
Veronica’s expression changed, and in a flash of lightning, she burst forth from Wang Yunxiao’s formation and promptly dragged the squad leader back.
“She’s suffered a severe Mental Impact!”
Indeed, without Veronica’s reminder, Wang Yunxiao was also feeling an unprecedented pressure at that moment.
The cryptic whispers in his ear re-emerged, and this time, they came with a tenfold intensity, turning into piercing shrieks that could penetrate eardrums.
The Fleshly Giant Tree, enveloped in flames, slowly opened its outer skin like a peeling orange, revealing the tender flesh inside.
A pair of delicate white hands, as if they had never done rough work, tore through the bark, appearing on the windowsill.
And then another pair followed.
Countless pairs of snow-white, delicate hands gently peeled away the outer skin of the Fleshly Giant Tree and the Consulate building, revealing the “flesh” within—a breathtakingly beautiful maiden over fifteen meters tall, kneeling barefoot in a pool of blood.
The BOSS officially entered its second phase.
