177: Chapter 177 A City in Turmoil
Mars was still searching for Wei He among the many buildings, with houses constantly collapsing under the impact of Mars's massive fists.
Many citizens were awakened by the huge sounds and rushed into the streets. Seeing this behemoth, their hearts were filled with terror. They quickly sought out the yamen (magistrate's office) to report the incident, but the yamen officials dared not interfere with matters concerning the First Prince Spike, so they shut their doors and ignored the citizens' reports.
"What is going on? Where did this terrifying behemoth come from? Sir, please open the door, we need to report a crime!" An elderly woman with silver hair, leaning on a cane, anxiously pounded on the yamen doors and shouted loudly.
"This monster is too terrifying! My child, my child was trampled to death by him, sob, sob, sob! Sir, please save us, Sir!" A beautiful woman with bright eyes, white teeth, and cherry-red lips knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably and constantly crying out.
"The monster is coming this way! Run, everyone run, the monster is here!" A strong man, covered in muscles and robust from years of physical labor, saw Mars walking toward him, his expression instantly changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.
...While Mars was still wantonly destroying buildings in an attempt to capture Wei He, in front of the Sixth Prince's residence, Blant was eagerly preparing to climb onto Marcus's body to rescue Neme.
However, Blant found himself completely helpless against Marcus's hard body and heavy armor; before he could even climb up, he fell down again.
Just as Blant was at a loss, a large hole suddenly appeared in the ground. Huang Yichen leaped out of the hole, immediately pulling Blant to the side. Simultaneously, energy began to circulate in his hand, and Marcus's giant body actually started sinking slowly into the ground. Blant stared wide-eyed at this scene, realizing how powerful Huang Yichen was.
Finally, more than half of Marcus's body sank beneath the ground, leaving just enough of his body—from the shoulders up—exposed above the surface. Blant rushed over and lifted Neme, who was on Marcus's shoulder, down.
Seeing Neme rescued, a smile appeared on Huang Yichen's face. He then made Marcus sink completely into the soil. The spot where Marcus had been standing moments before had already returned to normal.
"That's enough, Sixth Prince. The Commander ordered us to quickly take Neme and evacuate. Let's go!" Huang Yichen said slowly, looking at Neme in Blant's arms.
"Understood. We will obey everything the Commander orders. Let's go!" Blant, holding Neme, walked directly into the Prince's residence and ran toward the backyard. Huang Yichen followed closely behind.
Five night hawk helicopters slowly landed in the backyard of the Sixth Prince's residence under the cover of night. Ten Radiation Engineers, ten Magnetic Storm Infantry, and five Yuri troops disembarked.
Blant carried Neme directly into one of the night hawk helicopters, while Wei He, relying on his Golden Body Protection, casually shuttled through various buildings, smashing through wall after wall.
Through the red alert's Gods Eye View, he had long known that the Radiation Engineers had arrived at the Prince's residence, and he could finally lure Mars back there.
Just as he smashed through another wall, he saw a shaking bed before his eyes. The creaking sounds, accompanied by the movements of a man and a woman on top, made Wei He quite awkward. He hadn't expected that some people hadn't evacuated yet. With such loud noises outside, couldn't they hear anything?
"Run! There's a monster! Do you people not want to live anymore!" Wei He kindly shouted at the two on the bed.
"Scram, you brat! Interrupting my good time, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!" The man on the bed cursed fiercely.
"I don't want to live anymore! Ah, I'm going to die!" The woman on the bed suddenly began to scream. Seeing that the two wouldn't heed his warning, Wei He stopped caring about them and smashed through the wall on the opposite side to leave.
"Hey, the door isn't over there. How did he get out?" The man on the bed asked doubtfully, looking in the direction Wei He left.
"Oh, why do you care where he went? Stop worrying about him and get back to business! Hmph!" The woman said coquettishly, immediately grabbing the man and speaking with great resentment.
Just as the two were enjoying themselves, there was a sudden loud 'bang,' and their roof was blown off by Mars. Mars's huge eyes stared intently at the two on the bed, his gaze filled with killing intent.
"Ah! Monster! Run! Help! The monster is here!" The two immediately jumped off the bed and ran outside frantically, shouting as they went, not even taking the time to grab their clothes.
"Hahahaha, these two are quite naive!" Wei He couldn't help but burst out laughing as he watched the two run out. In that moment of distraction, Mars kicked him. Wei He flew backward, crashing heavily into a nearby house, smashing straight through the wall and landing in the ruins on the other side.
"Ah!" Wei He's face twisted in pain. Intense agony shot through him from head to toe; every bone felt as if it had been crushed by a giant boulder.
Wei He spat out a mouthful of blood and said faintly, "It's a good thing I have Golden Body Protection, or this kick would have cost me my life!"
Wei He staggered to his feet and continued running toward the Prince's residence, but at this point, he could no longer smash through walls to escape as he had before.
"Hahahaha, Wei He, do you think you can still escape? Just surrender obediently and let me kill you to avoid suffering physical torment, hahahaha!" Mars laughed wildly, chasing the fallen Wei He step by step, toying with him like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Why? Why are you doing this? What grudge do we have that you must kill me?" Wei He questioned Mars loudly while fleeing.
"Hahahaha, you don't need to know, because you are about to die. Whether you know or not is no longer important to you, hahahaha!" Mars laughed maniacally, stomped his foot forcefully, and kicked Wei He flying again.
With a thud, Wei He fell heavily onto the ground, a line of scarlet blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Wei He's eyes grew unfocused, and he was in a semi-conscious state.
"Big Brother, we've caught this little girl. We can save Second Brother now!" Just as Mars knocked down Wei He, Matthew and Martin flew back carrying Tang Xiaowei.
Mars looked at Tang Xiaowei in Matthew's hand and nodded with great satisfaction. Then, he reached down and grabbed Wei He from the ground. While walking toward the Prince's residence, he said to Matthew and Martin, "Let's go save Marcus!"
"Yes, sir!" Matthew and Martin, the two Rhinoceros Beastmen, displayed proud smiles and followed Mars, smashing through the surrounding buildings as they headed toward the Prince's residence.
At the entrance of the Prince's residence, Mars, Matthew, and Martin looked at each other in confusion. They remembered that Marcus had been standing right there when they left; how could he not be here?
"Strange. Did someone move Second Brother? Impossible. Besides us, who else here has the strength to move Second Brother away so quietly?" Mars guessed with suspicion.
"Big Brother, could it be that Second Brother woke up on his own and, not seeing us, went to look for us?" Martin slowly guessed, stroking his scalp.
