68: Chapter 68 Desperate Measures: The US Plans to Assassinate Lin Yun

"Attention all units, leave no survivors except for Lin Yun!"

Outside the corridor, the silver-armored brute roared coldly through his communicator.

The atmosphere inside the hospital room was suffocating to the extreme.

Lin Yun stood in front of Princess Anna, his slender figure appearing insignificant before the assassin.

The assassin sneered; he was, after all, the top-tier killing machine from Eagle Nation's "Black Watch".

His entire body had been enhanced with nanomachines, his bones replaced with titanium alloy, and every punch he threw could pierce tank armor.

"Lin, that 'Artificial Sun' you created has shattered our boss's livelihood."

"Today, I will take your head to fill that financial hole!"

He stomped forward violently, the marble tiles on the floor shattered instantly, and his entire body turned into an afterimage as he charged at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun's gaze was as calm as an ancient well, and he frantically called out to the system in his mind.

"System, how much longer until the sixth child is born?"

[Due to external interference, the birth time has been advanced; three minutes remaining!]

[Host, please note: the magnetic field is chaotic in the current environment, head-on confrontation is not recommended!]

Lin Yun gritted his teeth. Head-on confrontation?

He was a refined scientist; how could he possibly fight such a brute?

Just as the opponent's iron fist was only a few centimeters from Lin Yun's nose, Lin Yun suddenly pressed the black cube in his hand.

"Bzzt—"

A circle of visible, pale purple electromagnetic fields instantly exploded around Lin Yun.

That was the "Local Gravity Distortion Device".

The assassin only felt his feet sink, as if his entire body had been pinned to the floor by a force of tens of thousands of tons.

"Bang!"

He smashed into the floor in a sorry state, creating a deep crater in the reinforced concrete.

"Th-this... what kind of sorcery is this?"

The assassin struggled desperately, but every movement he made was a hundred times heavier than usual.

Lin Yun looked at him coldly. "This is called science; a defective product like you, with nothing but muscles in your head, wouldn't understand."

However, a sharp siren suddenly came from outside the window.

Several pitch-black drones with no markings hovered in front of the window.

The machine gun ports on their undersides had already locked onto the room.

"Lin Yun, you are indeed very strong, but how many people can you protect?"

The sinister voice of the assassin's accomplice came through the earpiece.

"If you don't release the gravity suppression now, we will turn this hospital into ruins!"

Lin Yun's gaze swept across the surroundings instantly.

Outside, Nightingale was leading special forces in a fierce battle, but he knew that the enemy had mobilized their entire force this time.

They might even have deployed micro-missiles a few kilometers away.

"Lin... it hurts so much..."

Behind him, Princess Anna's face was deathly pale, and she was drenched in sweat.

The energy fluctuations within her had reached a critical point, and the pale blue light was almost about to burn through her clothes.

That was high-concentration plasma energy condensing.

If this child were born and not handled properly, it might be even more terrifying than a nuclear explosion.

"Princess Anna, hold on!"

Lin Yun turned back and took her hand; the heat radiating from her palm made him feel as if he were holding a lump of molten lava.

[Ding! Host is facing a life-threatening situation; the system determines that the gestation environment is extremely hostile!]

[To protect the offspring and the host, the system has issued the offspring talent prerequisite pack in advance: Plasma Pulse Module!]

Lin Yun felt a coolness in his brain, and countless complex energy formulas instantly reorganized in his consciousness.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at those dark gun barrels.

"You keep calling me a devil."

"Then today, I will let you see what true divine punishment looks like."

Lin Yun's fingers moved rapidly through the air; he was connecting to the hospital's internal power system via brainwaves.

The massive energy drawn in by the Artificial Sun earlier was transformed, under his manipulation, into a whip of light too bright to look at with the naked eye.

"Crack!"

The drones outside the window didn't even have time to react before they were vaporized in mid-air, leaving not even a scrap behind.

"How is this possible? He can manipulate energy from a distance?"

The assassin lying on the floor finally revealed fear in his eyes.

At this moment, the door to the intensive care unit was kicked open.

Several mercenaries wearing special combat uniforms, but with skull emblems on their bodies, rushed in.

They were holding an extremely rare grayish-white cryogenic spray.

"Quick! Freeze his energy field! That's the newly developed insulating coating!"

Thick white mist instantly enveloped the entire ward.

Lin Yun felt the energy transmission around him disconnect instantly; it was a forced physical isolation.

"Heh heh, Lin Yun, we have long since studied your little bit of technology thoroughly."

The mercenary grinned and raised the tranquilizer gun in his hand.

"Without electricity to power it, you are just a slightly stronger monkey."

The assassin also crawled out of the crater in the floor; although his movements were strenuous, his killing intent was even stronger.

Lin Yun felt Princess Anna's weak pulse, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Was he really going to fall into the hands of this group of desperadoes today?

Just at this critical moment, Princess Anna's body suddenly erupted with a silent shockwave.

Everyone's eardrums were instantly deafened, and the white mist in the ward, as if encountering some natural enemy, was instantly dispersed without a trace.

An ethereal voice rang out in Lin Yun's mind:

"Father, can I open my eyes now?"

Lin Yun's pupils constricted violently.

It hadn't even been born yet, yet the child could already talk?

Before he could react, the system's golden light completely covered the entire ward.

[Congratulations, Host! The sixth S-rank offspring has been successfully born!]

[Reward being issued: Full technical blueprint for the Plasma Shield Generator!]

[Current crisis detection: Three lethal threats.]

[System is automatically managing, initiating trial run of the Plasma Shield...]

A dazzling, semi-transparent, pale golden light screen suddenly expanded into a sphere, centered on Lin Yun and Princess Anna.

The mercenaries who had rushed in happened to collide with the light screen.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the several people were like they had collided with a high-speed train, instantly turning into clouds of blood mist and being sent flying away.

The silver-armored assassin, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was also directly overturned by this force.

He looked at the thin light screen in terror.

Inside the light screen, an infant wrapped in holy blue light was slowly descending into Lin Yun's arms.

The infant opened its eyes, and golden lightning was actually coursing through its pupils.

"Is... is this even human?"

The assassin completely collapsed; he even forgot to fire, just staring blankly at the infant.

Lin Yun held the child, feeling that mountain-like defensive power, and raised his head to look coldly at the assassin.

"Now, it is my turn to clean up the mess."
