Chapter 467: Alien Invasion
...
Global Defense Agency, Intensive Care Unit. Omni-Man had already woken up, and his son, Mark, sat on a hospital bed next to him, his abdomen wrapped in layers of bandage. However, judging by his mental state, his injury had clearly mostly recovered.
"I want to be discharged. It's too boring staying here."
Mark took the banana his Mother had peeled for him and complained.
"No, you and your father need to rest for a while longer." Debbie refused decisively. To be honest, this life without having to worry about Nolan was quite good, and father and son being in the same room was beneficial for cultivating their relationship.
"Sorry to interrupt."
Director Cecil walked into the ICU and looked at Mark, who was eating a banana. "Looks like your injury is recovering well. The Doctor can remove your bandages in a few days."
"Regarding the White Lion, do you have any new clues?" Omni-Man leaned back against the hospital bed's headrest and asked.
"You could say we've found nothing."
Cecil shook his head. "Since that day, he hasn't appeared on Earth again. We still don't know why he came or why he clashed with you and Mark."
"Your efficiency is too poor," Debbie frowned and complained.
"We accept the criticism."
Donald, standing nearby, said this, then suddenly raised his hand to his right ear, speaking in a calm tone: "Officer, an unknown force is attacking the City Center. They possess heavy weaponry and have already caused multiple casualties. The City Government is requesting that we immediately dispatch Superheroes for support."
No sooner had he finished speaking.
The mobile phone in Director Cecil's pocket began beeping.
"Director Cecil, you've been considering Eve's matter for a week now, completely wearing out all my patience..."
Before Xia Shang could finish, Director Cecil interrupted directly: "Put her matter aside for now. There's an emergency situation; the City Center is under attack by an unknown force. You must rush there for support as quickly as possible."
"Oh, and Atom Eve might also appear. You have a high probability of seeing her."
After hanging up the phone, Director Cecil strode out. "Notify Immortal and the other members of the Global Guardians to get there as soon as possible."
"Do you need my help?" Omni-Man asked.
"It would be best if you could help, but your injury..." Cecil stopped and turned around, his tone pausing, as if worried about Omni-Man's injury.
"It's mostly healed."
"No, I'm worried you'll fall unconscious again." Debbie, by the hospital bed, pressed Omni-Man's shoulder. "You're not the only Superhero in the world, and what if that White Lion appears again?"
"I'm not as fragile as you think!" Omni-Man snapped.
The anger and impatience in her husband's voice caused a flicker of astonishment in Debbie's eyes. She seemed not to have expected Nolan to speak to her in such a tone.
Nolan Grayson perhaps realized he had lost control and apologized, "You're right, being injured has made my emotions a bit unstable."
"You and Mark rest well. If your help is needed, I still hope you can step in." Director Cecil finished speaking and walked out of the ICU without looking back. After all, as the Director of the Global Defense Agency, there were many things waiting for him to handle in the face of such an incident.
On the other side.
In the Street in the center of the City, a massive, arc-shaped portal appeared. It was deep red in color, and rows of well-equipped alien soldiers emerged from it. Their overall appearance was similar to humans, but their skin was green, and they had several tentacles growing from their foreheads and cheeks.
As soon as they exited the portal, they began using the firearm in their hands to attack the pedestrians scattering and fleeing on the Street.
It was clear that their technology level was higher than Earth's. What shot out from their firearm seemed to be energy beams.
Furthermore, behind the alien army were three armored vehicles that looked like tanks but were much larger than conventional tanks and had a more futuristic design.
While they were wantonly slaughtering.
The Police, who had arrived urgently, parked their police cars in the path of their advance, then used them for cover and began exchanging intense fire with the alien soldiers.
Unfortunately, against the fully armed alien soldiers, their attacks were not very effective.
On the contrary, a single shot from an alien soldier could blow a police car away.
Of course, it couldn't be said that the Police were completely useless; they at least slowed down the alien soldiers' offensive pace.
"Damn it, why aren't the Superheroes here yet? We can't hold on much longer."
The Police hadn't expected these suddenly appearing alien creatures to have such fierce firepower. An energy beam hitting someone could blast them into shredded remains.
At this moment, the cannon of an alien tank aimed at the area where the police cars were most concentrated, and then, a dense light cluster emerged.
Boom!! The light cluster instantly exploded, firing a terrifying red laser blast.
Just at this critical moment, a giant barrier was generated out of thin air in front of the cannon, forcefully withstanding the incoming red laser blast.
However, the immense power of the red laser also caused the barrier to shatter like glass.
Immediately after, Atom Eve, wearing a pink battle suit, Asian-faced Dupli-Kate, Bomber Rex, who was wrapped up tightly, and Robot, descended from the sky one after another.
"Well done, you blocked it just in time."
Immortal and the other members of the Global Guardians also landed on the empty ground next to the Teen Team.
"Long time no see, Guardians members," Rex proactively greeted the Guardians.
"Young man, now is not the time for pleasantries."
Immortal turned his head to look at Red Rush: "You're responsible for evacuating civilians, we'll cover you."
"Understood." Red Rush immediately transformed into a red stream of light, shuttling through the battlefield.
Next, everyone, including Eve, began their counterattack.
However, the alien soldiers' firepower was even fiercer than they had imagined. The main thing was that after killing one batch, a new batch of the alien army would immediately emerge from the portal, giving the feeling that they were endless.
This resulted in Eve and the others performing well at first, but as time passed and the battle became more intense, their stamina was being consumed wildly.
"Guys, I'm almost out of things to use as explosives!"
Rex, who could charge any item in his hand and turn it into explosives, shouted while frantically dodging the incoming energy beams.
The dense firepower made it impossible for him to charge items in time.
"Watch out for their laser cannons." Immortal had just punched an alien soldier's head into pieces when he was hit by several energy beams, flying backward, covered in blood.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Eve, floating in the air, extended her arms forward, creating pink barriers one after another.
"What's going on? Is this all there is to controlling atoms?" From high altitude, Xia Shang, looking down, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
