The usually half-empty school bus was now packed, students crammed together.
The driver started the bus, preparing to evacuate all the students from the increasingly dangerous school. Police cars wailed past, even Humvees and Stryker armored vehicles belonging to the army.
After the constant unrest and attacks, the US government realized the inadequacy of ordinary police officers and SWAT teams in dealing with super-powered individuals and mutants. Therefore, they quickly deployed a battalion of the Joint Task Force and part of the Air Force to New York City.
They hadn't expected this force to be so immediately effective. Ordinary light weapons simply couldn't effectively kill the ferocious Lizardmen.
The Joint Task Force's Stryker armored vehicles were equipped with MCT30 unmanned gun turrets. These turrets mounted a machine gun capable of penetrating 110mm of homogeneous armor when firing armor-piercing discarding sabot rounds, something the Lizardmen couldn't withstand.
Watching the armored vehicles speed by, the panicked students began to calm down.
In their minds, the US military was synonymous with invincibility; those Lizardmen wouldn't stand a chance against these powerful armored vehicles.
Police officers were evacuating citizens, clearing the entire area to provide the Joint Task Force with a battlefield where they could freely open fire.
The Lizardmen's threat was too great, especially after Colonel Johnson's brutal killing of all the Osborn Group's board members. These weren't just shareholders of the Osborn Group; they also held shares in other major financial groups, with deep-rooted influence. They were, in a sense, part of America's ruling class.
Their deaths caused the US government to operate with unprecedented efficiency. A president could be assassinated, but the capitalists of Wall Street were untouchable; these greedy vultures would not let any provocateurs go.
A flash of light suddenly erupted from the tall buildings on the street. A "Hawk" anti-tank missile, manufactured by Stark Industries, whistled down like a meteor and slammed into a Stryker armored vehicle. The tandem warhead easily tore through the thin armor of the armored vehicle and detonated inside.
A fierce fire soared into the sky. The ammunition inside the Stryker armored vehicle detonated, and the turret was directly blown off, spewing dazzling flames.
The crew inside were almost immediately incinerated. The attackers were very experienced, destroying the first Stryker, effectively blocking the remaining armored vehicles.
The students in the school bus watched this scene in horror, their faces blank. They didn't even know what expression to make.
What happened?
The manhole cover was suddenly lifted, and Lizardmen, as if crawling out of a nightmare, emerged from within. They were not unarmed, but fully equipped.
Boom!
The Gustav cannon roared, blasting the side armor of the last Stryker, turning the armored vehicle into scrap metal.
These highly trained former SEALs knew exactly how to deal with their former employer. As a rapid-response vehicle, the Stryker had thin armor because it needed to be air-transportable. Even the old RPG7 could pose a deadly threat to them.
Two Lizardmen directly braced their shoulders against the side armor of a Stryker, and their brute strength flipped the armored vehicle over.
The remaining Stryker armored vehicles turned their turrets, aiming at the Lizardmen. The soldiers inside the vehicles poured out, but they were met with a hail of bullets. Entire platoons of soldiers were slaughtered inside the vehicles.
The Lizardmen weren't afraid to exchange fire with these soldiers, and they were immune to bullets. Moreover, their marksmanship was better than the soldiers'.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound of cannon fire rang out. Whizzing 30mm armor-piercing rounds sliced the two Lizardmen in half, turning them into a pile of gore. But before the Stryker, which had been stubbornly resisting, could aim at its next target, it was struck from above by a Hawk anti-tank missile.
Colonel Johnson walked up to an armored vehicle by himself and, with a single claw, pierced the side armor, twisting off the head of the commander inside.
\n\n
Before long, all the Stryker armored vehicles were reduced to scrap metal, and bodies were strewn everywhere.
\n\n
Colonel Johnson looked at the two Lizardmen who had been turned into minced meat.
\n\n
"Go, eat them."
\n\n
The remaining Lizardmen looked at each other.
\n\n
"Eat them, and you will become stronger. Remember, only by becoming stronger will you avoid failure, and those who fail will only become food for others."
\n\n
Under his coercion, the Lizardmen picked up the pieces of meat on the ground and swallowed them. They quickly felt the surge of power within their bodies.
\n\n
"This... Winston, is this why you've become so strong?"
A Lizardman asked in surprise.
"Of course, as long as we can mass-produce the Serum, we can all become stronger."
Colonel Johnson said.
He turned his head and looked at the school bus parked outside Midtown High School.
The students in the school bus were startled by the Lizardman's cold gaze, and their screams almost lifted the roof. Some students tried to open the windows and jump out of the bus.
"Children, don't panic. If everything goes well, I don't need to hurt you."
Colonel Johnson said.
"I'm here just to find two people, Gwen Stacy and Tessa Eagle. They once interned in the Osborn Group's cross-species gene transplant project team."
He held up a finger.
"You two should be right here. I'm giving you one minute, or I'll kill all of you."
All the students began to panic; some of the weaker ones were already crying. Tessa Eagle prepared to step forward, knowing there was no escape.
These Lizardmen were clearly after them because of the Serum.
"Here, they're right here!"
The school basketball player, whose groin had been wrecked by Tessa Eagle's kick, grabbed her shoulder, yanking her up.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
He was terrified, tears streaming down his face, his whole body shaking violently.
Colonel Johnson wore a smug grin. According to the information he'd extracted from Colin Salmon, besides Professor Connors, Dr. Lada and three high school students from Midtown High School were also capable of producing the Lizardmen Serum.
"My two princesses, the future of the Lizardmen needs you."
He boarded the school bus and, like a gentleman, approached Tessa and Gwen. The technology to create the Lizardmen Serum was now in their hands.
Colonel Johnson would not allow anything to go wrong with the Serum.
As he spoke, he lashed out with his tail, turning the basketball player into pulp.
"Forget the unpleasantness, we'll soon be creating a new world!"
