A scream pierced the air like an arrow.
It struck directly into Su Yi's ears.
He momentarily shifted his gaze from the Green Giant, who was leaping across the building.
Su Yi looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a fair-skinned girl with black-framed glasses crouching on the ground, frozen in fear.
Above her head, a section of the ceiling had collapsed.
It was clear that the Green Giant's actions had caused the ceiling to fall.
"What a pain!"
Su Yi couldn't help but complain, but as soon as he spoke, his form vanished from where he was, sprinting towards the girl!
He tried his best to act like an ordinary person, but his speed was truly terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the girl.
And just then, the steel reinforcement inside the ceiling could no longer bear the weight of the falling ceiling.
Along with a jarring noise and countless dust particles,
the ceiling collapsed directly from above.
Seeing this scene, the girl felt as if she were completely enveloped by despair.
But just at this moment, Su Yi's figure appeared in front of the girl.
He hoisted the girl onto his shoulder and sprinted towards the exit.
Crash!
The sound of the ceiling collapsing followed closely behind.
Su Yi grumbled, "Huddling here is pointless. We should have just run forward. What a waste of my time!"
The girl felt a strong hand around her waist, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.
But when she heard Su Yi's words, she didn't know what to say.
She finally stammered, "I... I'm sorry, I was just too scared."
"It's fine. At least you didn't faint."
Hearing Su Yi's sharp tongue, the girl opened her mouth as if to say something.
But when the words reached her lips, they somehow dissolved into shyness.
The girl, however, found herself staring at Su Yi's face, feeling like she knew him from somewhere.
Yet, she couldn't quite place where she'd seen Su Yi before.
Just as she was about to ask, Su Yi gently set her down.
"Alright, you're safe now. Remember, next time, run forward, even if it means risking everything, don't just stay put and cover your head."
With that, Su Yi turned and walked away.
The city was filled with screams.
The Green Giant's appearance had triggered widespread panic among the citizens.
The armed helicopters spitting fire across the sky instantly disrupted the rhythm of everyday life.
Su Yi, having failed to find the Black Robe, didn't bother hiding much.
Su Yi figured S.H.I.E.L.D. was likely focusing most of its attention on Tony Stark and the desert.
They were probably still investigating the disappearance of Whitebeard from the Marvel world.
Su Yi himself wasn't getting much attention.
And even if he was discovered, it wouldn't be a big deal.
It would just be a minor inconvenience.
With that thought, Su Yi stopped trying to hide.
Su Yi followed the trail left by the Green Giant, quickly pursuing him.
In the sky.
Armed helicopters followed closely behind the Green Giant.
However, as time passed, they found the distance between them growing ever greater.
"General Ross, the Green Giant is getting faster and faster. We're likely to lose track of him."
On the other end of the communication device.
It was General Ross, located far behind the front lines.
General Ross's cold eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of him.
The data on the Green Giant was currently being displayed above.
Unprecedented greed spread through him.
He was already fantasizing about how wonderful it would be if he could possess such terrifying power!
However, those guys who were tracking the Green Giant were likely to lose the target.
This was something General Ross absolutely could not tolerate.
Immediately, he said coldly, "If you lose the target, you won't be staying here anymore!"
No joke!
He had paid a huge price for this Green Giant.
Just the cost of the city's damage, along with all the messy explanations afterward, would fall entirely on him.
If they couldn't capture the target, wouldn't everything he'd done be for nothing?
"But the Green Giant is getting faster, and our fuel is almost gone!"
"That's your problem, not mine. If you fail, just wait for your punishment when you get back!"
With that, General Ross cut off the communication.
However, his expression had already become extremely grim.
If the Green Giant escaped this time...
Finding any trace of him again would be incredibly difficult.
So, no matter the cost, he had to capture the Green Giant completely!
Immediately, General Ross picked up his military phone and called Nick Fury.
Soon, the call connected.
"Nick Fury, I need you to use your power to help me catch the Green Giant."
Nick Fury was silent for a moment after hearing General Ross's words, and did not immediately reply.
General Ross's mouth twitched.
He knew that Nick Fury wouldn't act without a clear benefit.
But he yearned for the Green Giant's power.
Just then, General Ross took a deep breath and said to Nick Fury, "As long as you can help me capture the Green Giant, I'm willing to research the Green Giant's power with you!"
"But if we don't intervene, you're very likely to fail in your capture."
Nick Fury wasn't intimidated by General Ross at all.
The two of them had been vying for power for a long time.
They could be said to have had their share of wins and losses.
This time, General Ross's desire was simply too strong.
Nick Fury felt that if he didn't take advantage of the situation to make a profit, he'd be doing himself a disservice.
General Ross also clearly understood what Nick Fury meant.
Damn that Nick Fury! Su Yi cursed inwardly.
If it were any other time, General Ross would never let Nick Fury be so arrogant.
But he glanced unwillingly at the big screen.
On the screen was the data they had compiled on the Green Giant over this period.
The desire in his heart instantly devoured General Ross's rationality.
He heard General Ross say to Nick Fury, "I'll share all the technology my military has developed with you!"
General Ross had quite a few powerful weapons in his arsenal.
Nick Fury clearly hadn't expected General Ross to pay such a high price for the Green Giant.
However, this was enough to demonstrate General Ross's determination.
"Since General Ross is so generous, I will naturally show my utmost sincerity. Just wait for the good news!"
But at this moment, General Ross received an urgent call!
"Report, suspicious figures detected rapidly approaching the Green Giant!"
And Nick Fury heard this urgent call clearly as well.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the space became very tense!
