In the hunter team, Erica couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Feixue quickly covered her mouth.
Why are you laughing in such a serious setting?
Mo Cheng turned to look at Mark, pointed to his temple with his index finger, and whispered, "Here, isn't it?"
Mark glared at him, warning him not to say anything out of line.
Just as the hunters, the city defense team, and Chen Yuan were locked in a standoff and the situation became extremely tense, a slightly weathered voice came from behind the crowd: "Respected guest, I apologize for the misunderstanding that happened before. I am Morgan, the city lord of the Lighthouse."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Morgan, the Lord of Lighthouse, walking with light steps.
He still stood tall and straight, and although he was old, his eyes revealed a wisdom and dignity that had been honed by the years.
The people around him spontaneously made way for him, and the atmosphere eased slightly because of his appearance.
Morgan walked to the open-air square and looked calmly at Chen Yuan. Despite the turmoil in his heart, he maintained the composure befitting a city lord.
"Chen Yuan, no matter where you come from, now that you've boarded the lighthouse, you are a guest of our lighthouse."
Morgan's words drew surprised expressions from those around him.
The hunters looked at each other in bewilderment, and the city defense team members were also puzzled. They never expected that the city lord would choose to compromise and treat this uninvited guest who had disrupted the order of the lighthouse with such a gentle attitude.
Morgan paused for a moment, then continued, “We at Lighthouse have always been dedicated to seeking survival in this apocalypse. I believe that any misunderstandings between us can be resolved amicably.”
In fact, Morgan had his own plans.
He knew very well that a hardline confrontation at this moment would not be a wise move. Chen Yuan's powerful abilities and the ability to control the Lighthouse system in a short time forced him to be cautious.
On the surface, Morgan's choice to compromise was merely an attempt to appease Chen Yuan, but in reality, he had already sent people to the control console to try and regain control of the Lighthouse.
As long as they can successfully regain control, they will not be in a passive situation.
If control of the Beacon cannot be regained as soon as possible and the situation is allowed to continue, the order that the Beacon has built up over the years will collapse, which is something Morgan absolutely does not want to see.
Therefore, he stalled for time while trying to buy time, all the while praying that the people at the control panel would complete the task as soon as possible.
Chen Yuan looked at Morgan, rolled his eyes, and decided he didn't want to deal with the old man for the time being. Why?
Because it's a waste of breath.
Ignoring Morgan, Chen Yuan headed straight for the Light and Shadow Society.
His movement immediately put Charles and the others on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Charles, the leader of the Light and Shadow Society, saw Chen Yuan walking towards him and mistakenly thought Chen Yuan was coming to see him, so he smiled and extended his right hand, saying, "Hello!"
He dragged out the rest of the words because Charles saw that Chen Yuan ignored him completely, walked right past him, and went straight to the Lightbringer before stopping.
"Ok?"
The Lightbringer, Vatican, looked puzzled, just as she was lost in thought.
"Snapped!"
Chen Yuan gave an evil smile—yes, an evil smile.
His left hand instantly removed the nano-steel cover and swiftly and accurately slapped the Lightbringer's smooth, round buttocks.
"ah……"
The next moment, Vanti looked terrified and instinctively backed away.
Damn it, I've wanted to do this for ages.
This perfectly fulfills the dreams of male fans of Ling Cage.
Male fans said they didn't want to think about Yue Buqun.
At this moment, Chen Yuan felt that he was the light of righteousness, shining on the other person's big butt.
"..."
Enraged, Fanti raised his foot and delivered a powerful whip kick to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan easily caught it with one hand and said in a very satisfied tone, "Yu Yu's, she can play with it for a year..."
"Now, do it!"
On the other side, Mark seized the opportunity and rallied everyone to launch a counterattack.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Faced with the threat of the Gravity Body's gun muzzle, the Hunters, the Light and Shadow Society, and the City Defense Army—groups with originally different stances—unusually united under the drive of their survival instincts.
Chapter 46 Thunder Suppression
"Do it!!"
Mark roared and raised the butt of his gun, slamming it with all his might onto a helmet of a gravity object.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the gunstock collided with the helmet, sparks flew, and cracks appeared on the head armor of the Gravity Body.
This action seemed to ignite chaos, and upon seeing this, the others shouted and rushed towards the surrounding gravity objects.
Some people held thick ropes and bound the limbs of the heavy object, while others used all their strength to strangle its limbs, hoping to restrict its movement, even at the cost of their own lives.
Victor brandished his mechanical right arm, and under his leadership, the members of the Hunters, the Light and Shadow Society, and the City Defense Force temporarily put aside their differences and cooperated with each other. Some of them used sharp weapons to directly insert into the joints of the gravity body, attempting to cut off the power lines controlling the gravity body.
"Mr. Chen, shall we fire?"
At this moment, the voice of the super-intelligent optical brain Loongson rang out.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and sighed from inside the hidden nano-mask: "Give up resistance, don't fire."
“Shalif, what are you waiting for? Take him now.”
Meanwhile, Charles quietly hid behind the crowd, giving orders to the huge, gold-masked man beside him with a sinister look in his eyes.
"give it to me!"
Upon receiving the order, Sharif charged at Chen Yuan like a mad bull.
Its massive body created a gust of wind as it ran, and its huge fist was raised high to smash towards Chen Yuan's face.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, Chen Yuan didn't even blink. He casually slapped Shalif across the face with a loud thud.
With a backhand slap, he took off and spun around in place.
Before Shalif could react, he was sent flying sideways like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground more than ten meters away, half of his face rapidly swelling up.
Chen Yuan scoffed dismissively: "Do you really think my enhanced nano-steel suit is just for show?"
Looking at the clueless crowd, Chen Yuan's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes, saying, "I originally wanted to use gentler methods, but since you don't accept it, I won't pretend anymore. I'll lay my cards on the table. I still have twelve more of these nano-steel suits."
Chen Yuan spoke to the communication device on his wrist: "Loongson, locate the beacon, and send the nanotech mech warriors from the Ark Base into the air to get here as quickly as possible to take control of the situation."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
In a secret base dozens of kilometers below the lighthouse, twelve nano-steel suits concealing the base's arsenal were instantly activated.
The twelve Dragon Core 4 nano-steel suits at the base flashed with dazzling light from their energy devices, then emitted a deep rumble and instantly popped out of the armory.
The twelve sets of nano-steel battle suits transformed into twelve Dragon Core nano-steel mech warriors, their flight thrusters spewing blue-white flames as they immediately took off from the ground.
Lock onto flight path, target lighthouse!
These silver mech warriors left long trails of flame as they flew, resembling dazzling shooting stars streaking across the sky.
The flight thrusters accelerated continuously, and with the powerful thrust, the speed increased faster and faster, flying at an astonishing speed of thousands of meters per second as it sped toward the lighthouse.
Within minutes, twelve Loongson nano-steel mech warriors descended like divine soldiers, spreading out in the open-air plaza of the lighthouse and landing steadily.
The sudden scene stunned everyone present, and the previously chaotic scene instantly fell silent.
The members of the Hunters, the Light and Shadow Society, and the City Defense Team looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Whether it's the Hunters, the Light and Shadow Society, or the city defense team, all of them combined are utterly helpless against the twelve Dragon Core Nano Steel Mech Warriors.
"Are you sure I'm not seeing things?"
Victor's eyes widened, his mechanical right arm trembling involuntarily. As the captain of the city defense team, although he had experienced many battles, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time when facing such a powerful opponent.
Mark gripped his now-useless weapon, his teeth grinding together.
His eyes were filled with resentment and anger. As one of the best hunters, he had always taken it upon himself to protect the lighthouse, and he never thought he would encounter such a difficult situation.
However, harsh reality confronted him, forcing him to admit that the current situation seemed to be beyond their control.
The hunters, who usually carry out missions on dangerous ground, are all agile and tenacious, but now, facing these twelve nano-steel mech warriors who are like humanoid steel behemoths, their courage seems to be fading away little by little.
Some people began to unconsciously back away, their eyes revealing fear.
Needless to say, the members of the Light and Shadow Society, who are used to a life of luxury and are skilled in power struggles, were completely at a loss in this situation of direct armed confrontation.
They were dressed in magnificent attire, but could not hide their inner panic. They could only watch helplessly as the situation spiraled out of control; these mechs were too powerful.
Although the city defense team was disciplined, it was difficult for them to organize an effective resistance in the face of such a huge disparity in strength.
Without proper authorization, the weapons in their hands were as fragile as toys against these advanced mechs.
In fact, Chen Yuan did not want to reveal this trump card, because he initially hoped to resolve the issue in a relatively mild way, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts and casualties.
Unfortunately, the other party was oblivious to the situation and kept taking chances, forcing him to take even tougher measures.
However, even so, Chen Yuan still showed mercy.
He communicated with the super-intelligent optical brain Loongson and issued the order: try to control the Loongson nano-steel mech warriors, don't kill Mark and the others, just beat them up and subdue them.
Upon receiving the order, Loongson quickly relayed it to each Loongson Nanosteel Mech Warrior.
One of the mech warriors strode toward a group of city defense team members who were trying to resist. It stretched out its huge mech arm, grabbed a member's weapon, and swung him away like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing this, the other team members rushed forward to attack, but their weapons were like ants trying to shake a tree when they hit the mecha warrior, having no effect whatsoever.
The mecha warrior remained calm and collected, quickly swinging his other arm and knocking down all the surrounding team members in just a few moves.
Another mech warrior targeted several members of the Light and Shadow Society who were trying to escape. Its leg thrusters spewed blue flames, and it instantly accelerated to catch up.
After catching up, the nanobot warriors simply extended their feet and tripped them to the ground, without harming them further. They knew that with just a little more force, these weaklings would have broken arms and legs.
