He didn't wake them; he simply got up quietly, put on his clothes, and left the bedroom.
A sumptuous breakfast has been prepared in the restaurant.
Mary was sitting at the dining table, her petite gothic dress making her look even more charming, her slender legs gently swinging under the table.
She saw Su Hui walk in alone, and her bright blue eyes immediately blinked.
"Brother, good morning."
Su Hui pulled out a chair and sat down next to her, reaching out to ruffle her smooth, golden twin ponytails.
"morning."
Not long after, Harley and Tina also entered the restaurant.
Although the two had washed and dressed, the weariness between their brows and the slightly unnatural way they walked did not escape Mary's notice.
Mary immediately pouted, like a hamster whose favorite toy had been stolen.
She picked up a small piece of bread, took a big bite, and stared at Su Hui with a hint of resentment in her emerald eyes.
"Humph."
A soft hum, full of a little girl's coquettishness and dissatisfaction.
Su Hui saw this and chuckled to himself.
He picked up a glass of warm milk and held it to Mary's lips.
"What's wrong, our young lady? Who has upset you this time?"
Mary turned her head away from him, but still obediently drank a sip of milk from his hand, leaving a ring of white milk stains on her lips.
"My brother is biased."
“I didn’t play with Mary last night.”
Her voice was soft and nasal, sounding pitiful.
Su Hui put down the cup, stretched out his finger, and gently wiped away the milk stains from the corner of her lips. The warm touch from his fingertips made his heart flutter.
"Okay, okay, it was my fault this time."
Su Hui brought his face close to Mary's ear, his warm breath hitting the girl's earlobe, making her involuntarily shrink back.
"I'll make it up to you properly when I get back from Washington this time."
Mary's cheeks flushed slightly. Although she was still somewhat unconvinced, Su Hui's gentle approach was clearly very effective.
She lowered her head and muttered to herself.
"You said it yourself."
Su Hui smiled, glanced at the women present, and smoothly steered the conversation toward the main topic.
"I'm planning to leave for Washington today."
These words immediately made the atmosphere in the restaurant serious.
"This operation requires absolute efficiency and secrecy."
Su Hui's eyes sharpened.
"So, I'm only taking a few people with me."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across each person's face.
“Ava, you’ll be my second-in-command this time. Come with me. In addition to Merlin, I plan to take Harley, Claire, 2B, Eve, and Ariana and her daughter with me.”
Finally, Su Hui turned his gaze to Emma and instructed her, "Emma, I'm leaving the management of New York to you. Notify me immediately of any changes."
"Don't worry. I'll manage everything. You'll see even more changes when you come back."
Emma responded solemnly with a cold expression, but no one knew that under the table, her long legs, clad in white stockings, were deliberately sticking out and gently teasing Su Hui's calves.
Arrangements are complete.
The entire base's operational efficiency was immediately boosted to its maximum.
The selected individuals began their final preparations, checking their equipment and replenishing their supplies.
Tina, Angela, and others who stayed behind were responsible for the base's defense.
As dusk fell, the snowflakes began to fall more densely in the leaden sky.
A jet-black aircraft with a futuristic design silently rose from the top of the base, like a black phantom, quickly disappearing into the dim sky and speeding towards Washington.
The aircraft's interior is spacious, with a stable and comfortable environment, seemingly a world apart from the frigid sub-zero temperatures outside.
Su Hui sat in the main seat, closing his eyes to rest, while Harley nestled beside him.
Ava, meanwhile, was at the control panel, constantly monitoring the data from the outside world.
Claire held her transforming sword-gun, wiping the cold barrel with focused attention.
2B and Eve sat in their seats, curiously examining the interior of the aircraft.
Ariana and her three daughters were more reserved, sitting quietly in a corner waiting for Su Hui's instructions. The three sisters huddled together, talking quietly about something.
Merlin, on the other hand, was the most relaxed, curled up in the soft sofa with a cushion in his arms, looking like he could fall asleep at any moment.
The aircraft is extremely fast.
In less than half an hour, it completely left the territory of New York State and flew into the airspace of other states, which broke the original peace and attracted the terrifying monsters that existed in the high sky.
"Alert! High-energy biological activity detected, numbering over three hundred, rapidly approaching from below."
Ava's calm voice rang out inside the cabin.
On the screen, countless red dots emerged from the snow-covered ruins and forests, converging into a terrifying torrent that chased after the aircraft in the sky.
Those were mutated dimensional creatures, with various shapes and terrifying appearances.
The hatches on both sides of the aircraft opened, and automatic defense turrets extended, their blazing white energy beams striking the ground with precision, like the scythe of death.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each shot exploded into a massive fireball on the ground, instantly tearing dozens of dimensional creatures to shreds.
However, the number of these monsters was so great that they seemed endless.
Even larger or extremely fast individuals, braving the barrage of gunfire, continued to close the distance to the aircraft.
A flying behemoth with a wingspan of over thirty meters suddenly soared into the sky from below, its blade-like wings slashing fiercely towards the belly of the aircraft.
"Activate energy shield."
Ava's voice was completely flat.
hum-
A light blue hexagonal shield instantly enveloped the entire aircraft.
A screeching sound rang out as the giant beast's claws slashed across the shield, leaving a trail of blinding sparks, yet failing to harm it in the slightest.
"Activate the automatic defense system."
Next second,
The aircraft's hull instantly unfurled several cannons, and beams of eerie blue energy intertwined to form a web of death, precisely piercing the heads of the monsters.
Puffs of foul-smelling blood exploded in the air, only to evaporate instantly upon contact with the aircraft's force field.
However, this is just the beginning.
After leaving human-populated cities, the number and intensity of extraterrestrial life forms increased exponentially.
Various bizarre monsters kept rushing out of the snowstorm, launching attacks without fear of death.
Most attackers were easily dealt with by the aircraft's weapon systems, but there were always some exceptionally troublesome ones.
"Thankfully, New York is safe thanks to our efforts to clean it up, but the outside world is becoming increasingly dangerous."
Ava pulled up a dynamic map, which was covered with countless red dots, each representing a high-energy reaction.
She frowned slightly as she watched the constantly updating data on the screen.
"According to energy fluctuation analysis, the expansion rate of dimensional fissures is accelerating, and the deterioration of the external environment is more severe than we expected."
Merlin, peering through the porthole, gazed with blood-red eyes at the snow-covered land below, and spoke softly:
"These things in the sky are at best minor monsters."
She stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the snow-covered earth below.
“I can sense that some large entities have grown up in the ‘singularities’ hidden beneath the snow layer of the city ruins, and the aura of a few of them is already quite terrifying.”
"The real trouble will come when the true dimensional collision occurs and the demon god descends."
At this point, Merlin's tone became heavy, and Su Hui, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them.
A sharp, razor-sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the deck of the aircraft, staring directly into the deep darkness below.
Merlin could sense changes in the singularity, and Su Hui, with his system scanning capabilities, was naturally even more aware of this.
Those monsters lurking deep in the earth were powerful and elusive, and some of them even gave him a sense of unease.
He could even sense several malicious gazes being cast from the dark abyss below, greedily eyeing their spacecraft that was piercing the sky.
Those auras were powerful, chaotic, and filled with a primal desire for destruction.
Some of them were so challenging that even he now found them somewhat difficult to handle.
The sense of urgency, like a tangible pressure, weighed heavily on everyone's mind.
Once those dimensional demons truly descend, this world will face a terror far beyond imagination.
Fortunately, the aircraft was extremely fast.
Although they encountered several waves of monster attacks along the way, the journey became much smoother after Su Hui occasionally took action and used the power of [Power Control Domain] to wipe out several particularly troublesome and powerful creatures directly from the spatial level.
In less than a day, the outline of a city appeared on the horizon.
Washington.
Unfortunately, the city had already been reduced to ruins by the apocalypse.
The iconic obelisk has broken and collapsed, a huge hole has been torn in the dome of the Capitol Building, and even the White House, which once symbolized power, has become dilapidated.
Su Hui did not choose to fly directly to the White House area, where the defenses would undoubtedly be the most stringent, and rushing in would only alert the enemy.
His gaze swept across the city map, eventually settling on a landmark building.
It was a towering skyscraper with a wide observation deck at the top, which was now covered with a thick layer of snow.
The aircraft slowly descended and silently hovered on the helipad on the top floor of the building.
The wind whipped up snowflakes, howling and pounding against the rooftop.
The hatch opened, and Su Hui stepped out first, his black trench coat fluttering in the cold wind.
The women followed closely behind, walking out one by one.
The group stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the desolate, abandoned capital city where only a few lights shone in a few places – a safe zone built by the government.
Merlin.
Su Hui's voice sounded exceptionally clear in the wind and snow.
"I need to contact Bayonetta again. I need to know where she is now."
His objective was clear: only by contacting Bayonetta could he obtain more detailed information from her and make plans for the next operation.
"it is good!"
Merlin nodded, abandoning his lazy demeanor and adopting a solemn and elegant expression.
She stretched out her slender finger and gently tapped it in the air.
Golden magical runes spread out from her fingertips like a blooming ripple, merging into the endless wind and snow.
..........
at the same time,
Washington, D.C., suburbs.
The biting wind whipped up heavy snowflakes, lashing against the broken walls and ruins, producing a mournful sound like rusty metal scraping against each other.
