Chapter 118 Hostage

The school bus, which was usually almost half empty, was now full of people, and people were crowded together.

The driver started the school bus and prepared to send all the students away from the already very dangerous school. During this time, police cars kept whizzing by, and even Hummers and Stryker armored vehicles belonging to the Army.

After facing continuous riots and attacks, the US government felt that ordinary police officers and SWAT were powerless in the face of these superpowers and mutants, so it quickly deployed a battalion of the Joint Task Force and some air force units to New York City.

They did not expect that this force had just moved to New York City and played a huge role. Ordinary light weapons could not effectively kill these fierce lizardmen.

The Stryker armored vehicle of the Joint Task Force was equipped with an MCT-30 unmanned turret. The turret was equipped with an XM-813 30MM machine gun, which could penetrate 110mm thick average armor when firing armor-piercing shells, which was not something the lizardmen could resist at all.

Looking at the armored vehicles whizzing past, the panicked students began to calm down.

In their impression, the US military is synonymous with invincibility, and those lizardmen cannot compete with these powerful armored vehicles.

The police officers are evacuating the citizens. They want to clear the entire area to provide a battlefield for the joint task force to fire at will.

These lizardmen are too harmful, especially after Colonel Johnson killed all the directors of the Osborne Group in an extremely cruel way. These directors are not only shareholders of the Osborne Group, but also own shares of other large financial groups. Their power is intertwined and can even be said to be one of the ruling classes in the United States.

Their deaths have made the US government operate at an unprecedented efficiency. The president can be assassinated, but the capitalists on Wall Street cannot be touched. These greedy vultures will not let the provocateurs go.

A flash of light suddenly rose from the tall building on the street, and a "Falcon" anti-tank missile produced by Stark Industries whizzed in like a meteor and hit a Stryker armored vehicle. The tandem warhead easily tore through the thin armor of the armored vehicle, penetrated into the body and detonated.

Fierce flames shot up into the sky, the ammunition inside the Stryker armored vehicle exploded, the turret was directly blown away, and dazzling flames sprayed out.

The crew inside was almost scorched at the first moment. The attackers were very experienced. They destroyed the first Stryker and blocked all the remaining armored vehicles.

The students in the school bus looked at this scene in horror, and they didn't even know what expression to make on their faces.

What happened?

The manhole cover was suddenly opened, and a group of lizards who seemed to have crawled out of a nightmare came out from it. They were not unarmed, but fully armed.

"Boom!"

The Gustav recoilless gun roared, and a shot hit the side armor of the last Stryker, turning the armored vehicle into a pile of scrap metal.

These well-trained former Navy SEALs knew very well how to deal with their former bosses. As a vehicle for rapid reaction forces, the Stryker has very weak armor because it needs to be transported by air. Even the old RPG-7 can pose a fatal threat to them.

Two lizardmen directly used their shoulders to push against the side armor of a Stryker, and the brute force they burst out directly overturned the armored vehicle.

The remaining Stryker armored vehicles turned the turrets and aimed at the lizardmen. The soldiers loaded inside the armored vehicles filed out of the vehicles, but they were greeted by a whistling rain of bullets, and the soldiers in the vehicles were shot and killed in the vehicles.

The lizardmen were not afraid to shoot at these soldiers at all. They were not afraid of bullets at all, and their shooting skills were better than these soldiers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of artillery fire rang out, and the whistling 30MM armor-piercing bullets swept the two lizardmen in half and turned them into minced meat on the ground. But before the Stryker, which resisted stubbornly, could aim at the next target, it was hit by the Falcon anti-tank missile whistling down from above.

Colonel Johnson walked to an armored vehicle, grabbed the side armor of the armored vehicle with one claw, and twisted off the head of the commander inside.

Before long, all the Stryker armored vehicles turned into scrap metal, and corpses were everywhere.

Colonel Johnson looked at the two lizardmen who had turned into minced meat.

"Go, eat them."

The remaining lizardmen looked at each other.

"Eat them, and you will become stronger. Remember, you will not fail only if you become stronger, and losers can only become food for others."

Under his coercion, the lizardmen picked up the pieces of meat on the ground and swallowed them. They soon felt the power surging in their bodies.

"Winston, is this why you have become so strong?"

A lizardman asked in surprise.

"Of course, as long as we can mass-produce the serum, then all of us can become stronger."

Colonel Johnson said.

He turned his head and looked at the school bus parked outside Midtown High School.

The students in the school bus were frightened by the cold eyes of the lizard man, and their screams almost overturned the roof of the bus. Some students tried to open the windows and jump out of the car.

"Children, don't panic. If everything goes well, I don't need to hurt you."

Colonel Johnson said.

"I came here just to find two people, Gwen Stacy and Tessa Eagle. They used to intern in the interspecies gene transplantation project team of the Osborn Group."

He held up a finger.

"You two should be right here. I only give you a minute or I'll kill you all."

All the students began to riot, and some of the weak-willed ones even cried out in pain. Tessa Eagle was ready to take a stand, knowing the fate of the situation was now doomed.

These lizardmen were obviously targeting them because of the lizard serum.

"Here, these two are right here!"

The varsity basketball player who had been kicked in the balls by Tessa Eagle grabbed her shoulders. Pull her whole body up.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

He was so scared that he burst into tears, and his whole body was shaking violently.

Colonel Johnson showed a proud smile. According to the information he tortured from Colin Selmon, in addition to Professor Connors, the ones who can create the lizard serum are Dr. Radha and three high school students from Midtown High School. born.

"Two princesses, the future of the lizard people needs you."

He got on the school bus and walked up to Tessa and Gwen like a gentleman. Now the manufacturing technology of lizard serum is in the hands of the two of them.

Colonel Johnson would never allow any problems with the serum.

As he spoke, he flicked his long tail and whipped the basketball player into a pulp.

"Forget the previous unpleasantness, we will soon create a new world!"
