Zhou Xuan, having gone this far, went straight to the weapon emplacements on the ship's platform and unleashed a flurry of punches, smashing the gun emplacements to pieces. The soldiers were terrified, their faces turning ashen, and they dared not show their faces again.
This mysterious person was clearly invulnerable to bullets and blades, and the power of his fists and feet was even greater than that of armor-piercing artillery shells. This had exceeded the limits of human beings, so everyone was thinking that this person was not human, because even the "Iron Man" in the movie who wore extraordinary high technology did not have such abilities, and this person was obviously not wearing any of the Iron Man-like suits and devices!
Zhou Xuan smashed the gun emplacements into a pile of scrap metal, then used his supernatural abilities to launch the torpedoes on the ship. After they were launched hundreds of meters away, they were detonated with a loud "boom boom boom boom," sending seawater flying dozens of meters high.
Then Zhou Xuan crouched down, and with a "whoosh," he shot into the sky from the ship and disappeared instantly.
Where Zhou Xuanfei left, a circle several meters in diameter sank several inches, the powerful force causing the hard steel deck to cave in.
At this moment, the remaining soldiers and officers cautiously emerged, searching for Zhou Xuan's whereabouts, but as they expected, they could no longer see any trace of him.
Zhou Xuan's performance clearly made it clear to them that he was not alone, but a force they could not even imagine or fight against.
The ship had surveillance cameras and video recordings. Zhou Xuan deliberately did not destroy them so that the cameras could record his actions and capture the scene of him flying into the air at high speed at the end.
The soldiers quickly inspected the extent of the damage to the ship, while also urgently reporting the situation to their superiors and retrieving the video footage, which was then transmitted to headquarters.
After Zhou Xuan took off, he rapidly descended into the city from another location. Because his speed exceeded the radar's detection range, he was not worried about being detected by satellites or city surveillance cameras.
Zhou Xuan was still worried about Wang Xin as the reason he didn't return to New York. The commotion he had caused was too great, and if the authorities really wanted to investigate, they would find her eventually. Although there was no concrete evidence, dealing with a weak woman like her would be effortless for the powerful authorities.
Zhou Xuan was worried about her; after all, she was his fellow countryman, and he couldn't bear to see her humiliated by the Japanese.
In front of an electronic screen in a public place, Zhou Xuan saw a news report about what he had done a few hours earlier. It said that a naval warship had been hit by waves, deviated from its course, and run aground. It has been confirmed that the death toll is 183, with 7 missing. The ship was severely damaged. According to experts, the main reason for the deviation from the course and running aground was the large waves.
Zhou Xuan chuckled coldly. Sure enough, the Japanese military had a lot of influence and broadcast fake news. Thinking about how many times he had heard fake news and been deceived, if he hadn't personally experienced and done this, he would have thought the same way after hearing this news and actually believed it!
In fact, the military was shocked after receiving the first-hand report from the ship. They immediately classified the incident as a supernatural event and reported it to higher authorities. They held a meeting to discuss the possibility of this incident, mainly speculating about which side of the organization was involved. Were they mysterious agents from other major countries or alien invaders? But with such supernatural abilities, it was unlikely that they were agents from any country. The most likely possibility was that they were aliens.
They also considered whether to broadcast the news about this incident, and whether to publicly declare war on this mysterious person. Given the power of this mysterious person, they also had to consider whether it was possible to completely defeat him. If there was no way to fight back, then they had to leave themselves a way out and not break ties with this mysterious person, so that things could become unmanageable.
In another news report, Zhou Xuan saw the incident that happened near Wang Xin's residence. The news report said that a gang fight had occurred, resulting in several deaths and injuries, but it made no mention of the many people Zhou Xuan had killed or injured. Both incidents were the same; they were not mentioned at all.
Zhou Xuan paused for a while, then slowly walked towards Wang Xin's residence. When he passed through the dark alley, he saw about twenty men in suits checking documents. So he pretended to be a passerby and casually walked through to Wang Xin's residence.
Zhou Xuan stopped in front of Wang Xin's residence and peered inside. He saw Wang Xin sleeping in a small room on the third floor. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Zhou Xuan relaxed a lot.
Wang Xin sat down on the cement platform of the roadside planters. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but she still didn't wake up. It wasn't late, only a little past ten o'clock in the morning, not even eleven o'clock. When Wang Xin got home, it was only a little past six o'clock in the morning. She had only slept for less than five hours. It was normal for her to be tired and frightened and not fully awake.
Zhou Xuan sat for a while longer. Seeing that Wang Xin was temporarily out of danger, he prepared to leave. However, after walking only a dozen meters, he detected two cars approaching and stopping downstairs at Wang Xin's building. Four or five men got out of the cars, checked the surroundings, and then left two men downstairs to guard the cars while the other three went upstairs. Zhou Xuan immediately realized that they were probably targeting Wang Xin. He had thought he hadn't left any traces, but it seemed he hadn't been completely discreet. The fact that these people had come here meant that Wang Xin had revealed some clues to these secret agencies.
Zhou Xuan didn't make the first move. He waited until those people attacked Wang Xin and he could confirm that they were really targeting her before he took action to rescue her. In any case, with his abilities, even if those people came to assassinate Wang Xin, he could save her the moment they made their move.
The three men didn't take any wrong turns and went straight to Wang Xin's room. When they reached the third floor, which had more than a dozen doors in the alley, the three men stood precisely at Wang Xin's door. They took a small object, fiddled with the lock, and opened it. Then they gently opened the door and filed in. Wang Xin was still fast asleep on the small bed in the room, completely unaware of what was happening.
The two men in front exchanged a glance, then took out a small bottle of medicine from their pockets, grabbed a towel from the wall, unscrewed the cap of the medicine bottle, poured the medicine onto the towel, and then covered the sleeping Wang Xin's face with it.
Wang Xin only twitched twice before fainting in her sleep.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and didn't make the first move. Instead, he slowly walked closer and stopped when he was about ten meters away. He then let the three men upstairs half-help and half-carry Wang Xin down to the car. The two men guarding the car quickly opened the door, and the three men immediately shoved Wang Xin into the car and got in. The others then got into another car and started the engine to leave. Only then did Zhou Xuan use his ice energy to freeze them. He then walked to the car, opened the door, and got in.
Inside the car, Zhou Xuan searched a man next to him and found a handgun. He then unfroze the driver in front of him. The driver shuddered, and after regaining consciousness, he looked back in surprise and saw Zhou Xuan pointing the handgun at him. He was startled and quickly raised his hands above his head, saying, "I'm not rich! I'm not rich!"
"Shut up!" Zhou Xuan shouted, then brandished his gun and ordered, "Drive. Go wherever you want to go. If you make even the slightest mistake, I'll shoot you dead!"
Zhou Xuan's cold words terrified the driver, who didn't dare utter a word, only nodding as he started driving again, then began to read the thoughts of the people in the car.
Volume 1, Chapter 669: The Nightmare Begins
Chapter 669 The Nightmare Begins
In an instant, Zhou Xuan understood the thoughts of these people. He had always thought they were from the intelligence agency, that they were special agents, but after reading their thoughts, he realized that they were actually members of a gang, but they had connections with the intelligence agency and worked for it.
The reason for arresting Wang Xin was due to certain concerns, fearing it would cause international conflict. That's why they asked the underworld to do it. If word got out, it would be easier to talk about. Besides, Wang Xin was a powerless and uninfluential overseas student. Even if something happened to him, it wouldn't cause much of a stir.
Moreover, there was another, more plausible reason: the reason Wang Xin was implicated was that the gang's members had been crippled. However, there was no concrete evidence, and everything seemed vague and uncertain. The only thing that caught the attention of the intelligence agencies was the collection and examination of all traffic footage within a five-kilometer radius of the incident site that night. They eliminated suspects one by one until only three or four people remained, and Wang Xin was one of them.
Moreover, Wang Xin is the most suspicious person because she had to pass through the alley where the incident occurred to get back to her accommodation. The other people are suspects, but they have no reason to insist on passing through there.
The biggest question facing them was: how could Wang Xin, a seemingly frail girl, possibly cripple eight strong men, especially gangsters with extensive experience in slashing and fighting? All eight men were beaten until their bones were broken; such injuries seemed to be the only ones that could be inflicted by someone with immense strength striking them with a large iron hammer.
But after investigating, only Wang Xin was a useful clue. Their belief was that it was better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let one guilty person go free, so they decided to arrest Wang Xin and interrogate her without hesitation. However, considering that Wang Xin was a foreign student, they simply let the gangsters arrest her and interrogate her. These gangsters' interrogation methods were even more sophisticated than theirs, so they were not worried about not getting anything out of Wang Xin.
None of them expected that Wang Xin had a powerful figure hiding behind him who could be fatal to them. They were lucky not to find this clue. If they really found Wang Xin, it would be the beginning of their nightmare.
Zhou Xuan pointed his pistol at the back of the driver's head. The man looked in the rearview mirror and felt extremely uncomfortable, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
In reality, Zhou Xuan was just putting on a show. If he really wanted to take action, he would never use a gun. Even if he could control the person without a gun, there was no need for it. The driver wouldn't be under as much psychological pressure and might even try to resist, causing unnecessary trouble. But with a gun pointed at him, the driver became much more obedient and didn't have any thought of resistance. Before he could even turn around, he was worried that Zhou Xuan's gun bullet would have already pierced his head, as soon as he had any special abilities.
But then he wondered why his companions hadn't reacted at all. Had Zhou Xuan secretly subdued them? Or perhaps Zhou Xuan had been given some kind of anesthetic injection?
But no matter what, with a dark gun barrel pointed at the back of his head, he dared not move, afraid that the slightest movement would provoke Zhou Xuan to shoot. He even drove the car very steadily, worried that the slightest movement would alert Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan understood what he was thinking, of course. His mind-reading ability had read out the deepest and most secret things in his mind. Among these people, Zhou Xuan only found information useful in the mind of one person. He must be a minor leader who knew some bits and pieces about the intelligence agency. Although it wasn't very detailed, that was enough for Zhou Xuan.
The driver drove for half an hour to a parking lot of a building, then stopped the car and said to Zhou Xuan, "We're...we're here..."
Zhou Xuan immediately used his superpower to destroy the brains of him and his companions, turning them into idiots. Then he picked up Wang Xin without waking her up, and punched the car door so hard that it flew far away and crashed into the wall. The driver was so scared that he didn't dare to utter a sound and huddled in the car, not daring to move.
Zhou Xuan probed the entire building, found his target, and then transformed the floors above him, creating a large hole several meters in diameter. He then leaped up to the second floor and punched away the men who rushed out to attack him. These gangsters were very fierce and didn't know what was going on for a moment. They only knew that someone in front of them was attacking this stranger, so they followed suit.
Zhou Xuan didn't know why his temperament had become so ruthless and cold-blooded. He didn't know if it was because he was too powerful. Anyway, he was inexplicably able to be ruthless to these people, and he felt a sense of pleasure when he saw them suffering!
In a single day, Zhou Xuan wiped out two gang members and destroyed a military vessel, deliberately acting in ways beyond human comprehension. Judging from their news reports, they were intentionally trying to conceal the matter.
Although he was thinking this, Zhou Xuan acted swiftly. With his left arm around Wang Xin and his right fist swung, the gang members even opened fire.
However, Zhou Xuan's speed far exceeded that of bullets, so in his rapid movements, he could completely avoid the bullets even without using his body, which was harder than steel, to block them. Because he was carrying Wang Xin, he did not use his body to block the bullets, but instead quickly dodged and then attacked these gang members one by one.
