He quickly turned around and went to a grocery store, buying a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. When the owner handed him the metal lighter, Xu Cheng's head started to hurt.
But he didn't care, he just wanted to light a cigarette to calm himself down.
Who knew that as soon as he lit it up, a "bang" sound came!
The metal lighter had actually self-destructed.
After it exploded, the lighter's low-carbon fiber powder was smeared all over Xu Cheng's face.
The owner came over in surprise to see his injuries.
"Oh my god, customer, are you okay? I'm really sorry, I didn't know the lighter would explode. I'm sorry, I will compensate you. If you want to sue this manufacturer, I can testify for you. "
Xu Cheng touched the metal powder on his face, and he seemed to have understood something.
"I'm fine, do you have water? I'll wash my face. "Xu Cheng changed the topic.
"Yes, there's a washroom inside." The owner was a bit embarrassed.
Xu Cheng went in and washed his face. He looked at himself in the mirror, thinking about something.
He tried to enter stealth mode, and almost subconsciously, his whole body disappeared into the mirror.
The stealth ability was still there, and Xu Cheng also activated his ears. He could hear the sounds of cars and pedestrians in the surrounding area, and his sensitivity was even enhanced.
Then, his eyes flashed, and he also activated his X-ray vision. Everything was normal.
However, there was something strange about the car explosion and the lighter explosion.
It must have something to do with him waking up this time.
When Xu Cheng walked out again, the owner handed him 500 pounds in embarrassment and said, "Sir, you should go to the hospital for a checkup."
Xu Cheng didn't refuse, and after taking the money, he nodded.
After a few steps, he turned around and said to the owner, "Give me 10 lighters, the same type as just now."
The owner looked at him strangely.
Xu Cheng stuffed all 10 lighters into his bag and walked into the bustling street. There were a few LCD TVs with floor-to-ceiling glass windows broadcasting the news.
"Let's take a look at the latest report on the United States' war against the Land of Mercenaries. A month ago, the United States bypassed the United Nations and officially launched a fierce attack on the Land of Mercenaries. So far, they have achieved effective results. The United States has successfully occupied an important border fortress city in the Land of Mercenaries. According to the White House's spokesperson, this war is for world peace. Most of the residents of the Land of Mercenaries are criminals from all over the world. Their culture is very rough and barbaric, and the existence of the Land of Mercenaries is equivalent to a cancer in the world. So, no matter the price, we have to eliminate this threat for world peace."
Seeing this news, Xu Cheng's pupils contracted, and he clenched his fists.
The US's move was no different from when they fought Iraq back then. At that time, they blamed Iraq for having too many arms and started the war without saying a word.
According to the news, Kutch's troops in the Land of Mercenaries didn't seem to be enough this month.
Back then, in order to unify the Land of Mercenaries, many small mercenary groups were wiped out, and the population plummeted. It was obviously impossible to gather too many troops in a year, not to mention that most of the funds were spent on construction. The US was determined to fight, and they really didn't give Kutch a chance to breathe.
However, Xu Cheng was confused. If the aliens were here, they shouldn't be so passive. Could it be that Mario and the others died in that explosion?
It seemed like he needed to go back and take a look.
No one noticed that Xu Cheng naturally disappeared into the crowd.
– Land of Mercenaries –
The reason why the US had the upper hand this time was because the three knights behind their lord personally led the troops to the border.
The three of them were responsible for dealing with the aliens, and the rest were responsible for the war. It was as simple as that.
After all, the three of them were R-level, and Mario and the others really didn't have the upper hand in a one-on-one fight. Against these three, Chekov and Dulson lost their value. Only Mario, Disse, Walla, and Zhang Xiu had the power to fight them, but how could the four of them be a match for the three knights?
Mario and the others also didn't expect the three knights to sneak into the attack team. Originally, they wanted to launch a night attack, but they fell into a trap. As a result, Mario, Walla, and Disse all came back injured. If it weren't for Dulson, who was responsible for carrying them back one by one, they probably would have died there.
The Americans were injured in the first wave of attacks, and without the interference of the foreign guests, Kutch's army was naturally in a difficult position. Although both sides suffered losses, the overall strength and quality of the Americans were much higher than that of the miscellaneous troops.
Therefore, after fighting for half a month, the border port of the Land of Mercenaries was occupied by the US. This move of the US was easy to guess. They wanted to directly fly their aircraft carrier here. After all, using warships to transport all kinds of supplies back and forth was risky. Who knew if they would be shot down by Hua or Russia with the excuse of a military exercise. So, for safety's sake, they chose to cross the Indian Ocean and enter. Therefore, this border city was their first bridgehead.
The three knights left the army and began to search for the alien's nest. This time, the main purpose of the three of them coming together was to help find the alien's nest and cut the grass!
This time, they had a mission to destroy the alien at all costs. It could be considered a suicide mission. If one of them encountered the alien leader and was no match for him, each of them would carry a high-power explosive. Once detonated, it would be enough to destroy a town, and killing the alien leader would not be a problem.
However, looking at the current situation, they encountered the alien members and defeated them, but the alien leader did not appear for a long time. The three knights had a bold guess.
"Perhaps one of the people missing in that explosion should be the alien leader!" the three said with certainty.
Otherwise, looking at the current situation of the Land of Mercenaries, if the alien leader was still alive, it would be impossible for him not to appear.
Then there was only one answer. Something had happened to the alien leader!
Receiving this answer, the Morgan family on the US side directly passed the second plan. "The aircraft carrier can be stationed here! Let's pursue them while we're winning. "
"What should we do if Hua wants to stop us?"
"Then put a label on them and say that they prevented us from cleaning up the garbage for the world. Anyway, we have an absolute vote in the United Nations to reject any of their accusations."
This was very American.
Just when they felt that everything was going their way, Zhang Xiu finally accumulated a poisonous gas war and launched a counterattack.
The US troops stationed at the port obviously did not notice that there were drones above them while they were reorganizing.
One of the soldiers saw the drones in the sky and sneered. "Poor countries are so backward. They always do stupid things. We use satellites to monitor, but you can only monitor us in such an outdated way."
As he spoke, he raised his gun and aimed at the drone above him.
