132. Chapter 132: The Deranged Stormfront
Instead of wasting time with Vought here, it would be better to try their luck on the East Coast.
If they could capture footage of The Seven fighting a super terrorist, they'd strike gold! At the same time, Ashley Barrett, carrying a string of delivery bags, pushed open the high-end wooden door of the Meeting Room. Following the labels on the bags, she handed them one by one to the executives present.
Placed before Stan Edgar was a bowl of oatmeal. He picked up the steel spoon, stirred it, and looked at the display screen in the Meeting Room.
Compared to Stan Edgar's oatmeal, Xia Shang's lunch was much richer. A portion of foie gras paste-marinated salmon and a thick-cut secret recipe steak, both specially supplied by a star-rated restaurant.
As for the others, most ordered fast food like sandwiches and burgers, though no one ordered fried chicken.
"Looks like The Deep is going to be famous this time," Xia Shang forked a piece of salmon into his mouth. As Vought's Vice President now, he naturally didn't need to be as reserved as before.
Watching The Deep ride a humpback whale leaping from the Sea Surface on the screen, bringing with it countless waves, and landing spectacularly in the path of Billy and the others, this scene was just like a shot from Hollywood, majestic and shocking!
The executives by the meeting table thought the terrorists would turn and flee.
However, to their surprise, the bearded man leading them had a fierce look in his eyes. Not only did he not turn back, but he also increased speed.
*Splurt!* The next scene even made Franco spit out the food in his mouth.
Billy's speedboat, without hesitation, crashed into the humpback whale's abdomen. Accompanied by the whale's wail, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the crimson blood immediately dyed a large area of the surrounding sea. They could even see internal organs sliding out from the whale's wound.
"Oh, shit." This scene was truly unappetizing. Several supervisors immediately put down the food in their hands, their stomachs churning with acid.
Among those present, only Stan Edgar and Xia Shang's expressions remained calm.
The next second, Billy and the others drove the speedboat through the other side of the humpback whale's body. Covered in blood, they disappeared into the Drainage Channel on the coast. Unfortunately, the space inside the Tunnel was narrow, and they had to abandon the speedboat to continue.
"That's fucking terrible." Billy looked at the whale blood on his arm and urgently urged the others to hurry: "The Deep is here, The Seven will be here soon, we don't have much time."
Hughie stood rooted to the spot, as if scared silly by the previous scene.
"Move it, kid."
"Just leave me, you guys go first, don't worry about me." Hughie's eyes were vacant, his body covered in a thick layer of blood.
Billy tried to reach out and grab his shoulder, but the nearly collapsing Hughie pulled away: "Don't touch me with your dirty hands."
"Suit yourself, we don't have time."
Finally, persuaded by Mother's Milk, Hughie crawled into the depths of the Tunnel.
Outside the Drainage Channel, The Deep, who had been knocked unconscious, gradually woke up. He looked at the dead humpback whale, his eyes filled with sadness. He reached out and stroked the humpback whale's skin, murmuring softly, seemingly offering a prayer for the humpback whale.
Just then, Homelander led the others to his side.
"Unbelievable, you actually didn't stop them. What were you thinking? And now you're just standing here spacing out."
Homelander questioned. "I was worried about Lucy."
"You mean this big guy, huh, then you can stay here and keep it company, it's absolutely disgusting." Homelander turned his head to look at the whale before walking towards the Drainage Channel alone.
Stormfront, who was following Homelander, saw his prayer gesture and couldn't help but mock: "You're confessing to a whale, you're such an idiot."
"Don't be so quick to judge me, newcomer."
Subsequently, The Seven abandoned The Deep and entered the Tunnel together, attempting to find Billy and the others.
...
"Notify the publicity department, cut that last part." Stan Edgar wiped the corner of his mouth with tissue paper.
Soon, lunch time ended. Although they didn't know what happened inside the Tunnel, it was clear that Homelander and the others hadn't caught the terrorists.
Actually, Homelander had already found Billy. Just as he was mocking Billy, The Female, who was hiding at the bottom of the boat, suddenly appeared. She used psychic power to crush the cement under Homelander's feet and controlled her psychic power to collapse the entire pipe. With a roar! Tens of thousands of cement blocks completely buried Homelander.
The weight was simply unimaginable.
And just then, a large hole appeared above the pipe, connecting to the Outside World. The Female didn't hesitate and escaped from the hole. Kimiko, who arrived shortly after, also went out with her.
However, to their surprise, Stormfront descended from the sky. Two bolts of lightning shot from her palms, instantly blasting the two away. Kimiko and The Female successively crashed through several walls before landing inside an Apartment Building.
Before they even formally engaged, Kimiko and The Female knew they were no match. So they had to endure the pain and flee towards the Rooftop.
Stormfront immediately pursued them. Along the way, she encountered a Witness who had seen her causing extensive destruction. Stormfront didn't hesitate, grabbing him by the collar and throwing him down from a dozen floors up. The Witness's scream quickly attracted the attention of others.
Stormfront simply decided to go all out. Countless extremely violent bolts of lightning shot out from her body with a roar, wantonly destroying everything around her. Large fires erupted successively on the Floor she was on. In a short time, the natural gas pipelines inside the building were ignited one after another, and the raging fire spread with astonishing speed.
"Holy crap! Is that terrorist crazy?"
The Reporters who arrived shortly after picked up their cameras and frantically pressed the shutter buttons. Even hundreds of meters away, they could feel the heatwave emanating from the building.
More than a dozen police cars, escorting two fire trucks, arrived at the scene. The New York Police quickly set up barrier tape and dispersed the public watching.
This was truly the scene of a natural disaster. Not only the people of the United States, but also the Police in New York, finally witnessed the destructive power of a super terrorist.
At this moment, they could only pray that the Superheroes would arrive in time.
"Meeting adjourned, prepare to implement Mr. Jervis's plan." Looking at the heavily damaged Apartment Building, Stan Edgar immediately announced the meeting adjourned.
He understood that an ordinary Supe could not possess such terrifying destructive power. From the screen image transmitted from the scene, it was highly likely that Stormfront caused this accident. He only hoped that Stormfront would be clean about it and kill that terrorist, so they could push all the blame onto the super terrorist.
