85: Crisis breaks out!
Pato was even too exhausted to be angry.
He commanded in a heavy voice, "Abandon Plan C."
"All units, rush to District D!"
"Protect the Goat, protect the Goat, protect the Goat!"
"Important things are said three times."
"Even if all of you die, not a single hair on the Goat must be harmed."
"Then, it's a full-scale hunt for the Tiger King!"
"Bring out every weapon that can be used! I've approved it all!"
By the end, Pato's voice had become hysterical.
The thought of the Tiger King going to District D sent shivers down his spine.
If anything happened to the Goat, even as a relative of the Research Institute's management, he wouldn't die, but he'd lose a layer of skin.
Derek looked at the irrational Pato.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
This was already the best choice that could be made.
Pato even knew that protecting the Goat was far more important than hunting the Tiger King.
---
As commands were continuously relayed, the tank units made new movements.
They began to change formation, switching from offense to defense.
Their primary objective shifted from killing Lin Tianwei to protecting the Goat.
As for offense?
Larger forces would take over to launch an assault on Lin Tianwei.
Boom.
A shell was fired in Lin Tianwei's direction.
With the precise calculations of the shooter, the shell flew directly towards Lin Tianwei.
If he dared to maintain his original speed, he would surely collide with that shell.
No sooner said than done.
Lin Tianwei's body suddenly burst into a small acceleration, dodging the shell.
However, more shells, as if free of charge, were fired madly at him, directly blocking all his escape routes.
Left with no choice, Lin Tianwei could only opt for the best solution: endure the impact of two shells.
His body was involuntarily thrown back by the shells.
Following a terrifying explosion, he was left covered in dust and grime.
It was only because Lin Tianwei's defense was strong enough; otherwise, just these two shells would have been enough to kill him.
The Goat, taking advantage of Lin Tianwei's being attacked, accelerated and ran even faster.
It quickly hid within the protective zone formed by the tanks, leisurely munching on grass.
As an herbivore, it was far more docile than other S-class research subjects, and thus had a closer relationship with humans, understanding some basic cooperation.
Outside the encirclement, before Lin Tianwei could recover from the damage of the two shells, countless more shells, forming a rain of bullets, poured down on him.
These tanks, rotating in an orderly fashion, could maintain an uninterrupted barrage of firepower.
It was simply a money attack, burning through mane.
Each round of attack was an incredibly terrifying expenditure.
But it was worth it!
Because the seemingly invincible Lin Tianwei, under their continuous bombardment, had virtually no room to retaliate, only being beaten back repeatedly.
Blazing flames ignited on Lin Tianwei's body, turning him into a large fireball.
Not only was his beautiful fur completely burned away, but under the high-temperature scorching, the smell of burnt meat emanated, a truly miserable sight.
Lin Tianwei had originally planned to use Sonic Wave, leveraging its invisible attack characteristics to assault these humans and disrupt their offensive rhythm.
However, he discovered that they seemed to have already understood his abilities and were equipped with special devices that greatly weakened Lin Tianwei's Sonic Wave attack.
It barely reached the point of causing dizziness, completely unable to inflict fatal damage on these people.
It seems he had to find other methods.
Lin Tianwei pondered briefly and decided to release Poison.
This was the final decisive battle at the current stage, and he absolutely would not hold back.
However, to use Poison to break through these steel barriers, he still needed an opportunity.
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei immediately rolled on the ground, extinguishing the flames on his body.
He continued to dodge.
His seemingly severe injuries were merely superficial.
These shells might be powerful, but they were far from capable of inflicting fatal damage on Lin Tianwei.
When the shells were depleted, that would be Lin Tianwei's time to counterattack!
Just then, countless sounds of spinning propellers echoed from the sky.
It was helicopters!
Countless helicopters began to reinforce District D.
Lin Tianwei's situation would also become increasingly difficult.
Rumble.
After several loud bangs, several more rockets were fired in Lin Tianwei's direction.
These attacks came from the helicopters in the air, preparing to launch a fatal strike on Lin Tianwei in conjunction with the tank units.
Cold burst!
These rockets were not ordinary rockets, but specially made freezing bombs.
At the moment of explosion, a special quick-freezing agent sprayed out, instantly covering Lin Tianwei's surroundings.
The terrifying low temperature instantly froze everything, even Lin Tianwei's body was covered with some ice shards.
Just then, countless more shells struck.
In combination, they gave Lin Tianwei a high-end SPA of ice and fire.
However, even such a terrifying attack, capable of shaking the earth and mountains, was utterly incapable of inflicting much damage on Lin Tianwei.
After being weakened by the Flesh Armor, the seemingly terrifying injuries healed within a few breaths, thanks to his Self-Healing Talent.
They were happy.
They were triumphant.
But they didn't realize that as time passed, the distance between Lin Tianwei and them was getting closer and closer.
By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
Far away yet right before their eyes.
When the distance was sufficient, Lin Tianwei unleashed his full speed and launched an attack on these tanks.
Although he didn't have time to destroy these tanks one by one, for him, it was enough to destroy their gun barrels.
Could these slow-moving tanks, stripped of their weapons, still manage to run him over?
With a powerful strike, the tank's thick launch tube was directly flattened and bent.
Not only did this completely eliminate the possibility of firing more shells, but it also exposed this mobile steel fortress.
Tiger Claws might not be able to directly attack, but Lin Tianwei's Poison could launch an invisible attack.
Colorless and odorless, but deadly enough.
While these people were celebrating their escape, they didn't realize that their deaths were already sealed.
And the others?
Hesitating to act for fear of harming the innocent, they could only watch Lin Tianwei attack the tanks, powerless.
Could they really blast Lin Tianwei along with the tanks?
If they could instantly kill Lin Tianwei, they naturally wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
But from previous experience, it was simply a waste of effort.
It could cause damage, but not much.
Thus, they could only watch helplessly as Lin Tianwei fought in District D, powerless.
A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
Pato's eyes were bloodshot, like a beast choosing its prey, wanting to devour Lin Tianwei completely.
Yet he could only stand there, watching Lin Tianwei continuously attack the tanks, powerless?
The only consolation was that Lin Tianwei didn't have time to deal with the humans inside the tanks, so there were no casualties for the time being.
It was a blessing in disguise.
After a moment of hesitation, Pato finally made a difficult decision and said in a deep voice, "I've decided to apply to the higher-ups for missiles to completely eliminate the Tiger King, this menace."
No sooner had Pato finished speaking than the person beside him excitedly said, "Pato, are you crazy?"
"Use missiles?"
"Even if we can destroy the Tiger King, do you not know how great our losses will be?"
Hearing the other person's questioning, Pato said calmly, "I'm not crazy; I am very rational."
"Perhaps we should have used missiles when the Tiger King went to the ant's nest."
"Rather than being consumed by him little by little, it's better to be decisive."
"To be a little crazy, and completely eliminate this menace."
Derek looked at Pato with a surprised expression.
He hadn't expected this well-connected individual to have such decisiveness at a time like this.
Using missiles was something Derek hadn't even dared to consider.
But undeniably, this was indeed the best option at this stage.
Ordinary weapons couldn't inflict fatal damage on Lin Tianwei.
Only such a superweapon could decide the outcome of the battle.
Thinking this, he stepped forward and said, "I agree with Pato's opinion."
"And it's best to be quick, time waits for no one!"
