The driver frowned, his tone cold and hard: "Stop talking nonsense, an order is an order."

Prepare missiles, lock onto target!

On the streets of the city center, Qin Yang and Diana were still locked in fierce combat with Joel.

Joel threw a punch at Qin Yang, who dodged it, grabbed its arm, and slammed it against the wall of a building.

The wall collapsed with a roar, and dust filled the air.

Taking advantage of the moment, Diana rushed forward, her fist imbued with the power of the Amazons, and slammed into Joel's chest with a dull thud.

"Qin Yang, its chest seems to be its weak point!"

Diana exclaimed, "I can feel it slowing down!"

Qin Yang, panting heavily, his eyes flashing red again: "Alright, I'll give it a try!"

He leaped into the air, his heat vision focused on Joel's chest, the blazing red light burning through his skin, green blood spurting out.

Joel roared in pain and grabbed Qin Yang's neck with both hands, trying to tear him apart.

"Go to hell!"

Joel roared, his power suddenly erupting, and Qin Yang was choked until he couldn't breathe, his thermal vision was forcibly interrupted.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed Joel's wrist, trying his best to break free, but Joel's strength surged like a tidal wave, almost suffocating him.

Upon seeing this, Diana roared and charged forward, ramming into Joel and knocking him back several steps.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Yang broke free, fell to the ground, and gasped for breath: "Diana... thank you... this guy... is too strong!"

Joel steadied himself, the wound on his chest healing once more, and grinned maliciously, "You... can never kill me! Lex's gift... makes me invincible!"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth and got up, his gaze sweeping across the sky. Suddenly, his pupils contracted: "Diana, watch out! A helicopter!"

Before the words were even finished, the roar of three armed helicopters swept in, and bright lights descended from the sky, illuminating the entire street.

The pilot of Eagle One locked onto the target through the targeting system and said in a cold voice, "Target confirmed. The monster and two volunteer police officers are below."

Prepare to launch the missile!

The co-pilot hesitated, "Captain, the vigilantes are protecting civilians, we..."

"Shut up!"

The pilot interrupted him, "Execute the order! Launch!"

Two heat-seeking missiles were launched from the belly of the aircraft, trailing bright white flames as they headed straight for the ground.

Qin Yang suddenly looked up and shouted, "Diana, get out of the way!"

Diana reacted quickly, pulling Qin Yang aside as the missile struck the ground. The explosion engulfed the entire street, and the shockwave shattered the windows of nearby buildings, sending thick smoke billowing into the air.

Joel was hit head-on by the explosion, roaring as he burst out of the flames, his body covered in scorch marks, but his wounds were still healing rapidly.

"Damn it!"

Qin Yang scrambled to his feet from the rubble, coughing as he shouted, "Has the military gone mad? They're bombing us too!"

Diana stood protectively in front of Qin Yang, her gaze cold and stern: "Qin Yang, they treat us as enemies too."

We must evacuate!

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the helicopter in the sky: "Withdraw? No way! Joel is still here. If we leave, he'll slaughter the entire city!"

Joel roared as he charged at the two, the ground trembling beneath his feet: "Die! You will all die!"

It swung its fist at Diana, who raised her arm to block, but was knocked back and crashed into a broken wall.

Qin Yang leaped towards Joel, roaring, "Joel! I'm your opponent!"

He punched Joel in the jaw with all his might, making a sound like bones cracking.

Joel stumbled backward, but then grabbed Qin Yang and flung him into the air.

At the same time, the pilot of Eagle II reported through his headset: "Command, the target monster is still active, and the vigilante has not been killed."

Requesting further instructions!

Colonel Ryan's voice came through the headset: "Continue the attack! Use all weapons, eliminate the target! Repeat, eliminate all targets!"

The pilot gritted his teeth: "Roger! Eagle II, prepare for the second round of missiles!"

Qin Yang steadied himself in mid-air, his heat vision shooting towards Joel's chest, attempting to strike its weak point once again.

But Joel raised a car in front of him, blocking the red light and causing it to explode in a shower of sparks.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Diana, help me restrain it!"

Diana leaped from the rubble and charged at Joel, shouting, "Monster! Your end is nigh!"

She picked up a broken steel bar and stabbed it into Joel's knee, trying to slow its movement.

Joel roared and swung his fist, but Diana nimbly dodged. A steel bar pierced its leg, and green blood spurted out.

Just then, the second volley of missiles roared in, and Qin Yang looked up sharply: "Here they come again!"

He lunged at Diana, shielding her beneath him. The explosion's flames swept through the area again, and the shockwave sent them both flying into the ruins of a shop.

"Qin Yang..."

Diana, panting, got up and helped him up. "You're injured... We can't stay passive like this any longer!"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, the excruciating pain in his ribs almost making him faint: "I know... but Joel... it won't stop."

Diana, can you still fight?

Diana clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "I am an Amazon warrior, and as long as I have a breath left, I will not back down!"

! ”

Qin Yang nodded, then turned his gaze to Joel. The monster emerged from the firelight, grinning maliciously, "You...can't escape...!"

Suddenly, Qin Yang's phone vibrated from the ruins. He looked down and saw it was Oliver calling.

He answered quickly, panting, "Oliver...where are you? We need backup!"

Oliver's voice was urgent: "Qin Yang, I'm on the outskirts of the city center. Lex's men have blocked the streets, I can't get in! How is that monster?"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth: "It... is ridiculously strong. Even the military's missiles can't kill it! Diana and I can't hold on much longer!"

Oliver cursed under his breath: "Fine, I'll try to break through the blockade."

Try your best to hold it back and prevent it from running into the residential area!

Qin Yang hung up the phone and looked up at Diana: "Diana, we have to try again."

"Joel's chest is its core. I'll attack with all my might using my heat vision. You buy me some time!"

Diana nodded, her gaze firm: "Okay! Qin Yang, I believe in you!"

The two exchanged a glance and rushed toward Joel in perfect unison.

Qin Yang's eyes flashed red light, his thermal vision focused to its limit, and shot towards Joel's chest.

Joel roared and tried to pounce, but Diana suddenly leaped up and punched it in the face, knocking it off course.

"Now!"

"Diana shouted."

Qin Yang gritted his teeth and continued to unleash his thermal vision, burning a deep crater in Joel's chest, from which green blood gushed out.

Its movements slowed noticeably, but it continued to roar: "I...am not dead...!"

Just then, the pilot of the Eagle III locked onto the target and said in a cold voice, "Missile preparation, target locked, launch!"

Another missile hurtled towards them. Qin Yang whirled around, his pupils shrinking sharply: "Diana! Retreat—!"

Amidst the rising dust, on the desolate outskirts of the city, Qin Yang knelt on the edge of a ditch, blood seeping from the wound on his abdomen, staining his tattered jacket crimson.

He clutched his wound, panting heavily, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

Joel—or rather, the monster that was increasingly resembling Doomsday—stood dozens of meters away, his severed arm regenerating at a visible speed, bone spurs emerging from beneath his skin with a teeth-grinding scraping sound. Under the night sky, distant city lights flickered, and the faint wailing of sirens mingled with the echoes of explosions.

Qin Yang gritted his teeth and gripped the kryptonite dagger in his hand even tighter, its green light flickering faintly in the darkness.

"Qin Yang, are you alright?"

Diana leaped down from behind, her battle dress covered in dust, and Joel's black blood still lingered on the blade of her short sword.

She glanced at Qin Yang's wound, her brows furrowing. "Your injury... needs to be treated quickly."

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Qin Yang forced a smile and struggled to his feet. The sharp pain in his abdomen made him break out in a cold sweat. "This guy is more difficult to deal with than I thought. Diana, how did it feel when you slashed him just now?"

"Like cutting into a red-hot steel plate."

Diana snorted and fixed her gaze on Joel. "His body is hardening, and his strength is increasing."

Qin Yang, you said he's Doomsday? What is that?

"A kind of... Krypton's ultimate weapon, something like that."

Qin Yang took a breath and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "The system warned me that this guy is an experimental subject, specifically designed to destroy everything."

Those missiles just now were practically a nutritional meal for him!

"Damn American troops!"

Diana gripped her dagger tightly, her eyes blazing with fury. "They don't know what they're doing! Those missiles nearly blew up half a block, and they've only made this monster stronger!"

"Don't blame them, Colonel Ryan was probably scared out of his wits, thinking that dropping a few missiles would solve the problem."

Qin Yang smiled wryly, his gaze sweeping over the wreckage of the crashed fighter jet in the distance, flames shooting into the sky. "But this guy is no ordinary monster now, Diana. We need to find a way to lure him to the town. There are Kryptonite reserves there, which can weaken him."

You mean your hometown?

Diana frowned. "But you're injured like this, how can you take him there?"

"It must be possible."

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, straightened his body, and a stubborn glint flashed in his eyes. "If this guy isn't dealt with, Metropolis is doomed."

"Come on, Princess, give me cover, let's lead him south!"

"Hmph, cover? I'm more than just a cover!"

Diana snorted coldly, her figure flashing as she charged towards Joel. Her short sword flashed, aiming straight for the monster's chest. "Ugly monster, come and die!"

"Roar!"

Joel let out a deep growl, his bone-spiked arm lashing out with a gust of wind that clashed with Diana's dagger, sparks flying.

Diana used the momentum to step back, and the ground cracked when she landed.

"Qin Yang, let's go!"

Diana shouted, swinging her sword to block Joel's second attack, "I'll hold him off!"

"Don't push yourself too hard, Princess!"

Qin Yang took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain in his abdomen. Energy surged within him, and his figure transformed into a blur as he rushed toward Joel's flank.

He plunged the kryptonite dagger into the monster's back, causing a burst of green light. Joel let out a painful roar and turned to punch Qin Yang.

"too slow!"

Qin Yang dodged, and the dagger sliced ​​across Joel's leg again, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. "Diana, south! We'll fight our way back!"

"understand!"

Diana leaped forward and kicked Joel in the chest, forcing him back several steps. She then turned and ran towards the southern wilderness, shouting, "Follow me, Qin Yang!"

Joel's eyes flashed with intense white light, as if he had been completely enraged, and he roared as he chased after the two.

His steps were heavy, each step creating a deep crater in the ground, and his bony arms swung incessantly, tearing through the air with a shrill sound.

Qin Yang and Diana raced through the wilderness, the night wind howling, and the roars of the monsters behind them grew ever closer.

"Qin Yang, this guy's speed has increased too!"

Diana ran and shouted, her voice tinged with anxiety, "Are you sure the town has enough kryptonite?"

"enough!"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, his steps faltering slightly from the wound in his abdomen. "I have a whole chest of kryptonite in my basement, enough to give this guy a run for his money! The problem is how to lure him there; he's acting like a mad dog right now!"

"Mad dog?"

Diana sneered, abruptly stopped, turned and swung her sword at Joel who was chasing after her, "Then beat him until he obeys!"

"Princess, calm down!"

Qin Yang grabbed her, dodging the bone spikes Joel hurled at him. "Don't fight head-on! This guy gets stronger the more we fight him, we need to use our brains!"

"Use your brain?"

Diana glared at him, her sword flashing as she blocked Joel's continuous attacks. "Then tell me, how do you use your brain?"

A sly glint flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, his gaze settling on the ruins of an abandoned factory. "There! Diana, let's go to those ruins. The terrain is complex; we can hold him off!"

"it is good!"

Diana nodded, flipped over Joel's grab, and pulled Qin Yang towards the ruins.

The factory's ruins cast eerie shadows in the moonlight, and the air was thick with the smell of rust and paint.

The two crawled into the ruins, followed closely by Joel's roar, his heavy footsteps shaking the ground.

"Qin Yang, you'd better have a plan!"

Diana hid behind a broken wall and whispered, "How long can this place keep him trapped?"

"It can't be contained."

Qin Yang, panting, sat down against the wall and checked the wound on his abdomen, where blood was flowing uncontrollably. "But it can buy us some time."

Diana, why do you think this guy went bald?

"Going bald?"

Diana was taken aback, almost startled by the sudden change of topic. "What are you talking about? What time is it, and you're still concerned about his hair?"

"I'm not kidding!"

Qin Yang grinned, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. "The system has given us a hint that one of the characteristics of Doomsday's form is that it is bald."

I'm wondering if his increased strength is related to this? For example, is baldness his final form?

"Are you... alright in the head?"

Diana was speechless. She swung her sword and cut a flying steel bar in half. In the distance, Joel was tearing a wrecked truck in half. "Whether he's bald or not is none of our business. We need to figure out how to weaken him!"

"weaken……"

Qin Yang stroked his chin, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "That's right! Diana, do you remember the kryptonite dagger we made in town? Besides the dagger, I also kept a few raw kryptonite stones in my backpack!"

"Raw stone?"

Diana's eyes lit up. "How do you plan to use it?"

"Detonate!"

Qin Yang took out three fist-sized kryptonite stones from his backpack. The green light made his face look somewhat strange. "Kryptonite stones become unstable when exposed to high energy, like a small nuclear bomb."

Let's give it to Joel and bomb him!

"Bomb him?"

Diana frowned. "But you're injured like this, can you manage?" (End of Chapter)
