"Excuse me, gentlemen."

Due to the emergency, the city has been locked down. No one is allowed to enter or leave at this time!

Before the barrier at the city's border.

A fully equipped man carrying a special submachine gun stopped Tot and Hera as they were about to drive away.

Tot rolled down the car window and looked up in horror at the barrier that enveloped the entire city.

Except for Will, the group got out of the car.

He approached the SWAT officer and began to ask questions.

"Sir, may I ask what happened?"

Why the sudden lockdown, and why such a heavy-handed one at that?

Tot looked around and saw that there was a barrier with armed guards standing guard almost every few hundred meters, and he still couldn't quite believe it.

The armed man sighed slightly.

"That's true, since it happened so fast, you probably didn't know."

Anyway, it's not a secret, so I'll tell you all so you won't hesitate to leave.

Thoth and Hera immediately perked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Just yesterday, the [Armor Warrior] of Godslayer Technology Company fought against two extremely powerful alien species in the city."

Although he eventually managed to drive them both away, he was seriously injured and unable to continue fighting for a short period of time.

Hera listened calmly with her large, peach-colored eyes wide open.

"Because these two mutants are a bit too destructive."

So much so that the top U.S. leadership held an emergency meeting overnight and ultimately brought in the strongest special forces team.

In other words, they are special assassination squads that do not belong to any particular country.

Hmm... they're also called the "Godslayer" squad.

Upon hearing this, Hera turned and glanced at Thoth.

Thoth nodded slightly, clearly recognizing the squad as well.

The armed man continued speaking.

"So this is the current situation."

The [Godslayer] team has arrived in this city. After discussing their options, they have instructed Godslayer Technology Company to activate the [World Shield], which is used to seal off and protect the city.

This way, they can search for the mutants in the city, making it harder for those two mutants to escape.

At this point, the armed man added,

"In other words, even if they break through the barrier, it won't make a difference."

Once the barrier is damaged, Godkiller Technology Company will immediately receive the information.

Given the speed of the [Godslayer] squad, they should be able to reach the damaged area and eliminate the enemy in no time.

As he spoke, the armed man revealed a confident smile, suggesting that this "Godslayer" squad was indeed very powerful.

"Alright, you understand the situation now, you can leave."

The armed men waved for the two to return.

But neither of them dared to go back.

That squad was looking for Hera!

"Um, could you possibly make an exception?"

We have something very urgent here and need to leave immediately.

"Anyway, your only goal is to prevent the aliens from escaping, so a few people going out won't make much difference."

As he spoke, Toth handed the other man a cigarette box stuffed with money.

Unexpectedly, the armed man flatly refused.

"no!

According to intelligence, both mutants are in human form and could very well infiltrate the area by disguising themselves as humans!

The armed men didn't even glance at the cigarette Tot offered him.

This left Toth with no other option.

If I were to ask again, I fear the other party would mistake me for a monster disguised as a human.

Thoth glanced at Hera.

Hera looked at the other person and finally decided to go up and plead for them herself.

Hera slowly walked up to the armed men.

After racking my brains for a while, I came up with a strategy.

Hera's fair cheeks slowly puffed up, she put her hands in front of her mouth, and twisted her body.

"It's really urgent... could you please make an exception this time?"

Hera's large eyes flickered slightly as she gazed at the other person.

Her voice was so sweet and gentle that it made you want to hug Hera and give her a good rub.

The armed man's throat bobbed slightly as Hera's sweet, heart-touching pleading came to his head.

Click—

The armed men quietly took out their phones and took a picture of Hera.

They preserved Hera's adorable and coquettish appearance.

He then quickly put his phone away, coughed twice,

"Ahem, ahem... Well, miss, this isn't something I can decide. Even if I wanted to open it for you, there's nothing I could do."

However, I will let you know as soon as the lockdown is lifted.

Um... could I have your contact information?

"..."

Thoth covered his face, speechless as he watched all this.

Well, at least they can get the news that they can leave as soon as possible.

It can't be said that there was absolutely no gain.

Hera gave her contact information to the armed man, and asked one last question before leaving.

"How long will it take to lift the lockdown?"

The armed personnel should think about it.

"I don't know the exact time, but based on past practices, it should take about a week."

"Okay, I understand."

Hera nodded and got into Thoth's car without looking back.

He stepped on the gas and drove off in style.

Only the armed personnel remained standing there, bewildered in the wind.

Sitting in the car, a cell phone rang from Hera's pocket.

Hera drove with one hand while taking out her phone from her pocket with the other to answer a call.

"Hello."

"Hey, boss! Have you guys left?" Fran's slightly anxious voice came through the phone.

"No."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a sigh.

"Boss, what do we do now?"
