From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 117 How come he's just as bad as the Japanese?

Mayday! Mayday!

"This is Channel Seven, we're under attack!"

At that moment, the pilot's desperate shouts could be heard on television and cell phones throughout almost the entire state of Washington.

Amidst the dense, loud gunfire, the cries sounded somewhat helpless.

In the violently shaking footage, one moment you can see Rachel's panicked and terrified expression, and the next you can see fire snakes shooting wildly across the ground.

Bullets grazed the helicopter cabin, occasionally sending up sparks.

But the other plane wasn't so lucky.

Tens of thousands of people witnessed the unfortunate helicopter crashing into the forest, leaving a plume of black smoke, and turning into a fireball.

"WTF, are these people really crazy?"

"Is this really not a game?"

Some citizens stared at the screen in disbelief, unable to believe that this was happening near their city.

"Damn it, all those rumors were true!"

"FUCK! These bastards must be conducting human experiments here, and they're trying to spread the video of the Channel 7 reporter being murdered to cover it up on various platforms, instantly making it a hot topic."

Whether it's media outlets or online broadcasters, professionals in these fields across America have gone crazy.

Faced with this viral news, they were like hyenas that had caught a whiff of something, and began spreading it rapidly.

That's the FBI, the legendary Federal Bureau of Investigation with all its might!

It has the highest priority investigative authority in areas such as counter-espionage and violent crime, and has arrested a number of notorious criminals; it is a legendary department in the fight against terrorism.

The first director, Edgar Hoover, was even revered as the Shadow Emperor.

Yet this legendary department committed such a horrific atrocity, and even within the United States!

Such violent, suspenseful, and bombshell news involving federal authority perfectly hits the sweet spot for all Americans.

In a short time, the number of online viewers across all platforms of Channel 7 reached an unimaginable height.

But the popularity of the data couldn't save Rachel and the others from the fire.

With the addition of two machine guns, two huge fire dragons instantly rose from the ground, sweeping towards the constantly tumbling helicopter from the left and right.

Rachel and her friends' situation became increasingly precarious.

Perhaps it was due to some kind of obsessive madness, or perhaps it was to record his own ending.

Despite being terrified, the photographer in the cabin resolutely carried his equipment and faithfully recorded everything that was happening.

"God! Jesus!"

"Damn it, anyone, help me!"

The two pilots were babbling incoherently, using almost all the knowledge they had acquired in their lives.

But they could only helplessly watch as the two terrifying fire serpents slowly approached them.

Unlike those weak rifles, these machine guns have a high rate of fire and a long range.

A mere sweep could easily penetrate the thin metal sheet of a light helicopter, turning it into a sieve.

Rachel, who was temporarily acting as a reporter, was even paler, gripping the handle tightly beside her, her beautiful eyes filled with despair.

She regrets it now.

I regret why I risked my life to board that plane for the sake of a little reputation.

However, Rachel had no idea that those guys' crimes were so horrific.

If they hadn't arrived in time, they might never have known that this group of butchers had actually murdered an entire battalion of soldiers.

Such important news is destined to leave its mark on history for Rachel and others.

Unfortunately, she would never see Ye Xiao again.

This perilous situation is so dire that even Superman wouldn't be able to handle it.

Just as the crossfire from the two heavy machine guns was about to hit the plane.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the horizon, lifting the helicopter gently upwards and dodging the hail of bullets.

"WTF? What the hell is that?"

The photographer noticed this and screamed, quickly pointing the camera at the scene.

A figure wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared in the picture, floating on the side of the helicopter, supporting the fuselage with his hands.

The moment Rachel saw that person, her eyes widened, and a surge of joy rushed into her mind!

It's him!

Her hero always appears at the most crucial and dangerous moments!

At that moment, Rachel was almost head over heels in love with Ye Xiao.

He really knows superheroes!

The silver mask, made of metal, gleamed with a cold white light under the night sky, exuding a mysterious and aloof aura.

His tall, strong physique and broad shoulders almost perfectly match people's fantasies about superheroes.

But this isn't a DC or Marvel movie, this is a live broadcast from a news channel!

Almost half of the American population witnessed this unimaginable scene through television and mobile phones.

WTF?

Are there really superheroes in this world?

Otherwise, why are some people able to fly in the sky?

This scene was so shocking that many people felt their scalp tingle, like the astonishment of watching a science fiction movie for the first time, but soon followed by a strong sense of ecstasy.

Those man-eating demons have finally received their just deserts!

The photographer, who had been calm just moments before, now had his hands trembling slightly as he excitedly recorded this breathtaking scene.

Damn it!

I'm about to become famous!

The first photographer to capture Superman's image, or perhaps the first human to make contact with aliens!

In the photographer's trembling, excited footage, Ye Xiao nodded after escorting the helicopter to a safe altitude.

Then he turned around and rushed towards the hillside.

Like a shooting star falling into a valley, or like the guided bombs these armed agents often see on the battlefields of the Middle East.

"Whoosh—Bang!"

Ye Xiao slammed heavily onto the machine gun emplacement on the left side of the hillside, kicking up a cloud of dust several meters high.

Damn it, was that really a human?!

The deafening roar seemed to strike the very core of everyone's hearts, making them even think they had been bombed.

Large amounts of dust, carried by the strong evening wind, swept up the hillside!

The agents in the middle of the hillside were instantly enveloped by the sudden sandstorm.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

On the battlefield, heart-wrenching coughs rose and fell.

The armed agents strained their eyes, trying to find the enemy in the dim light.

Some of the frightened agents even started firing their guns indiscriminately.

"Damn it, calm down!"

A disheveled Griffin snapped, "Be on your guard! That demon is coming!"

In the dim light of the night, fear gradually enveloped everyone present.

As the dust settled, the nearest agent raised his gun and steeled himself to move forward.

Looking into the distance, he saw that the machine gun position was in complete disarray. The three armed agents who were originally stationed there had disappeared, leaving only a twisted and unrecognizable M249 squad automatic weapon.

Was it really an artillery barrage?

Before the agent could figure it out, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind sweep past him.

Immediately afterwards, he flew backward like a cannonball and crashed heavily not far from the central position, his body twisted beyond recognition, clearly dead.

"Well done!"

Upon seeing this, the photographers on the helicopter couldn't help but shout out.

"Hurry, lower the altitude! My focal length isn't long enough!"

"Are you crazy?"

Upon hearing the photographer's outrageous request, the pilot, who had just escaped death, could only wonder if his old friend Feng had flown out of the solar system.

"Hurry! This is the most important moment in human history! I have to capture it on camera!"

"I don't care about human history or cow dung, if we descend any further we'll be shot down!"

"Don't you fucking understand? This is our chance to become famous!"

"This isn't fame, it's a funeral!"

Just as the two were arguing, Rachel suddenly spoke up: "Shut up, descend quickly, and I'll give you $20 when we get back!"

The pilot didn't know anything about history or commemorations, but he did know about US dollars!

Driven by his financial power, he made a snap decision and decisively descended horizontally.

The photographer quickly captured Ye Xiao's fast-moving figure.

He faced the torrential rain of bullets, seemingly unafraid of them at all.

They charged toward the position like ghosts, their speed unbelievable.

The two agents at the front of the position were stunned. They didn't even realize they had run out of bullets and kept nervously pulling the trigger.

"what!"

"Pfft!"

With two muffled thuds, their heads were smashed open by a single punch, their brains splattering everywhere!

Ye Xiao's speed did not decrease at all, and he quickly rushed into the position.

Driven by fear and the will to survive, the remaining armed agents unleashed a fierce and aggressive aura, rushing forward in an attempt to engage Ye Xiao in hand-to-hand combat.

But these elite agents were as laughable as kindergarten students in front of Ye Xiao.

After the last armed agent was taken down, Ye Xiao strolled leisurely to Griffin.

The enemy who had been trying to capture him now wore an extremely crazed expression.

"You, you're not human!"

"You are the devil! You are Satan!"

Griffin was trembling all over, but he still managed to grip the pistol tightly.

Now he has nothing left.

Ye Xiao has ruined their reputation, and now even the armed detectives on whom they had placed high hopes have been wiped out.

Griffin had nothing left to rely on except the pistol in his hand.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Hearing Ye Xiao speak, Griffin felt inexplicably relieved.

He had seen descriptions of this demon's voice in countless files.

Now it sounds just as low and hoarse as it was recorded, as if the voice had been ruined, and you can't hear the accent.

"Damn it! It's all those awful media outlets' fault!"

Griffin waved his hands angrily, as if protesting the injustice of fate.

"I'm not a bad person at all! You're the one who made the mistake!"

"If it weren't for their scheming behind my back, I wouldn't be in this situation!"

"If it weren't for those people holding me back, you'd be the one backed into a corner!"

"Um.

"6

Ye Xiao suddenly responded and even nodded.

"What?!"

Griffin stared at Ye Xiao in disbelief.

"You...you actually believe me?"

"Of course, I knew you long before the rumors started."

Ye Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cheerful smile.

"Because I'm the one who spread those rumors."

"Wh-what?"

Griffin's eyes widened, fear and anger swirling within him, and he began to breathe heavily.

He never imagined that his current predicament was entirely due to Ye Xiao!

He even had to bear the infamy of a traitor, and be kicked to death by Ye Chi like a dead dog in this desolate valley.

At that moment, in Griffin's eyes, Ye Xiao seemed to have grown horns on his head, and his smile was as terrifying as Satan's.

No, I must survive!

I have to let others know the truth!

The clever Griffin came up with a solution almost instantly.

He suddenly dropped the pistol, his knees buckled, and he made a move to kneel down and surrender.

Those armed agents were desperate and wanted to kill Ye Chi to clear their names.

Griffin, on the other hand, thought that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

If he survives, he still has a chance to find high-ranking officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Even if he's wronged for a time, it doesn't matter, as long as he can live.

Griffin was betting on one possibility: that Ye Xiao wouldn't dare kill him in front of the cameras!

The reason this bastard is trying to smear him is simply to create a righteous persona, isn't it?

If someone dares to kill a person who surrenders in front of the cameras, then everything Ye Xiao has done before will have been in vain!

Hmph, let's see what you do now!

Feeling his knees touch the ground, Griffin felt not humiliation, but rather a sense of pride.

He looked at Ye Xiao with a mocking smile, raised his hands, and said, "I surrender!"

"Oh?"

To Griffin's surprise, Ye Xiao didn't seem to have any particularly special reaction.

In this guy's eyes, it was as if his surrender meant absolutely nothing.

Griffin couldn't help but wonder if he had been fooled or simply hadn't realized it.

But that doesn't make sense. Surely this guy isn't plotting something else, is he?

As Ye Xiao's footsteps drew closer, Griffin grew increasingly nervous, his heart pounding.

However, just as Ye Xiao walked up to him, Griffin suddenly reached out uncontrollably towards the pistol not far away!

WTF, what on earth is going on?!

Griffin went mad, desperately trying to control his hands, but his body seemed to have a mind of its own, and he actually picked up the pistol!

He instantly realized how those armed security guards from Mpower had died.

He also realized what would happen if he got his hands on a pistol.

"No!"

Rachel, who was on the plane, watched this scene in horror and quickly shouted a warning.

But it was too late.

A series of gunshots rang out, sending a shiver down the spines of all viewers watching the live stream.

Damn it, that bastard faked surrendering!

The experiences they had had on the islands of the Western Pacific quickly came to mind, and these Americans all thought of them at the same time.

That son of a bitch, how come he's just as wicked as the Japanese?

Ye Xiao staggered, clearly having been shot.

Did I hit it?

Griffin, who had just been somewhat frightened, was instantly overjoyed.

Although the process was flawed, he actually executed it well!

That bastard finally got what he deserved!

Griffin suppressed his elation and nervously changed the magazine with trembling hands.

He looked up again, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, turning into a face that looked even uglier than crying.

The smile didn't disappear; instead, it moved to Ye Xiao's face.

He looked down at Griffin as if he were looking at a beast about to be slaughtered, a smile of triumphant joy on his face.

"I've finally waited for you."

Before he could finish speaking, Griffin suddenly felt everything go black, and his terrified head exploded like a watermelon, splattering brain matter and blood everywhere.
