At this point, a subordinate explained, "He has 'Natchber' tattooed on his chest," meaning leader, which we believe belongs to him.
—A superhuman name.
Susan stared intently at the shirtless man in the video: "You mean, this is a terrorist with superpowers?!"
Seeing her subordinate nod, her chest heaved violently, and a single word escaped her lips: "Fuck!"
Within the territory of a certain country.
A group of fully armed American soldiers carefully waded through weed-covered puddles and silently approached a building.
Just as they were about to launch their attack, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
Seeing the familiar dark blue bodysuit and Stars and Stripes cape, the squad leader stepped forward: "Homelander?"
"Yes, it's me." Homelander smiled kindly. "You all take a rest, leave this to me."
As he spoke, he walked towards the building ahead. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to look at the somewhat bewildered soldiers, and gave them a thumbs up: "You are the true heroes!"
The soldiers stared blankly as the Homelander walked into their target building, then looked through the windows at the flashing red lasers inside and heard terrified screams coming from within.
-
Just a few minutes later, Homelander emerged again, holding a vial of blue liquid. He showed it to the soldier and said, "Mission accomplished. But I found this inside!"
One day later, in the conference room of the Water Tower.
A high-ranking government official placed the vial of blue liquid presented by the soldier on the table, a strange smile on his face as he looked at Madeline sitting opposite him: "You mean, someone has copied your strictly confidential Compound Five?"
"How did they get the formula? Was it an inside job? Or did a tourist accidentally wander into your lab?"
Hearing the faint sarcasm in his tone, Madeline's expression remained unchanged: "To be honest, we were also shocked, Mr. Secretary."
"We, like you, hope that this matter can be thoroughly investigated."
"However, the problem now is that now that Compound V has been leaked, we have to face it."
"Oh? You mean?" The Secretary of State stared at Madeline, waiting for her explanation.
Madeline smiled confidently, as if she had everything under control: "The fact is, no matter how many billions of dollars these weapons are worth, they are still just a pile of useless junk."
"Someone like Nachber can flick them away as easily as brushing fleas."
"From this day forward, the world enters a new era."
"The only ones who can truly fight super terrorists and protect the safety of the people are our superheroes!"
After seeing the Secretary of State off, Madeline called Li Yuan: "Come to my office."
A short while later, Li Yuan, dressed in full combat gear, arrived at her office door and pushed it open.
Looking at Li Yuan's attire, Madeline smiled with some surprise: "It seems you're already prepared?"
"Of course, I'll finish what I started." Li Yuan walked to the center of the office and sat down on the sofa.
"Since I dealt with the terrorists on the No. 37 transoceanic plane, I should naturally take care of the super terrorists behind them as well."
"Very good, it seems I don't need to say anything more." Madeline nodded. "The plane to send you off is ready, you can leave now."
"Looking forward to your performance."
"OK, let's wait for good news." Li Yuan got up from the sofa and walked out of the office.
Outside the door, a fully armed man saw Li Yuan come out and immediately said respectfully, "Sir, please come with me."
-
Li Yuan nodded and left the Water Building with him.
After a long flight, we landed at a military base.
"Red Dawn, welcome." A fully armed soldier shook hands with Li Yuan.
Behind him stood a neat row of soldiers, equally armed to the teeth, each one appearing to be an elite with extensive combat experience.
"Thank you, Captain. Let's set off now." Li Yuan gestured.
A group of more than ten people boarded a troop carrier and drove over mountains for about two or three hours before finally approaching the actual target location.
By this time, it was completely dark.
"Look, there it is." The leader of the assault team handed Li Yuan a pair of binoculars.
Following the direction of his finger, Li Yuan saw a simple-looking two-story white building.
"OK, Captain, you guys take cover here. Give me ten minutes."
Li Yuan, dressed in a striking red battle suit, tossed the binoculars aside and walked openly toward the small building.
He walked at a leisurely pace, seemingly unafraid of being spotted by the sentries outside the small building.
And as it turned out, there was nothing wrong with what he did.
There was no proper defense system here at all. He was only discovered when he was almost in front of the two bearded men holding submachine guns and on guard duty.
boom!boom!
Before the two could react, Li Yuan delivered a punch to each of them, instantly eliminating them.
Then, without any hindrance, they entered the two-story building.
Those ordinary people, even those armed with various firearms, could not stop his advance at all, and fell one after another with great pleasure.
In the most luxurious room on the second floor, Nachiber, shirtless, watched as Li Yuan walked up the stairs step by step.
Flames quickly erupted from his body, and after a loud shout, the flames inside him suddenly exploded!
boom!
Flames burst forth from the various doors and windows on the second floor, briefly illuminating the dark night sky.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
Nachber was breathing heavily, a smug smile on his face as he looked at where Li Yuan had been standing.
Then, his eyes widened instantly.
He had expected to see a charred corpse, but in reality, Li Yuan was still standing there unharmed!
"Really—what is he babbling on and on? I can't understand a word." Li Yuan sighed, shook his head, and waved his hand dismissively.
Nachber's head immediately fell off his neck, his face still bearing that expression of disbelief.
After doing all this, Li Yuan pulled a pistol from his waist and casually pulled the trigger on a window that was now just a frame.
A conspicuous signal flare shot from the muzzle of the gun, flashing a dazzling light in the night.
Soon, the troop transport vehicle that was parked not far away drove into the front of the two-story building, and a group of elite soldiers professionally inspected every part of the building.
"Thank you, Crimson Dawn, for bringing justice to the kind people who died because of these terrorists." The captain of the assault team approached Li Yuan and gave him a solemn salute.
"No." Li Yuan shook his head, his face serious. "This is not my achievement alone, but the result of the collective efforts of all of us."
"You are heroes too!"
A professional photographer captured this precious moment perfectly beside the two of them.
Upon returning to New York, the Water Group immediately held a press conference.
Li Yuan, dressed in full combat gear, appeared solemnly before a group of reporters.
Click! Click! Click—
Countless flashes lit up, recording every step he took.
-
Standing in front of dozens of microphones and various cameras of all sizes, Li Yuan looked around solemnly and said with a hint of sadness, "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, please let us observe a moment of silence for the heroes who perished in the No. 37 transoceanic flight incident."
May the departed rest in peace, and may their heroic spirit live on forever!
After saying this, he lowered his head first, and the others present immediately followed suit.
After the moment of silence, Li Yuan raised his head and briefly recounted the events that had transpired.
Finally, he solemnly announced, "Now, I can tell you all that those terrorists, and their leader, the super terrorist Nachber, have all been eliminated!"
"People may be wondering why the operation was so quick and successful."
"I can confidently say that this is the result of my close collaboration with the elite of the military!"
"The fusion of superheroes and the military created a wonderful chemical reaction, achieving a result far greater than the sum of its parts!"
"I believe that under this model, our people will no longer be threatened, and our country will become the safest country in the world!"
Madeline, who was sitting in her office, saw this scene on the live television broadcast, smiled with satisfaction, and nodded slowly.
night.
A cocktail party was held inside the Water Tower.
The guests who attended were all wealthy and influential, including military officers in various uniforms and government officials of considerable rank.
Besides the senior executives, several members of the Super Seven were also present at the Vought Group event.
Xuanse ousted the original pianist and sat in a chair, swaying his head as he played some light music.
Maeve held a wine glass in her hand, surrounded by many elderly government officials.
Starlight, dressed in that sexy battle suit, was whispering to a soldier who looked relatively young and was wearing a white military uniform, demonstrating his abilities.
As the battery on the phone on the table gradually decreased, a golden light slowly shone in her palm.
"Wow, what a fun little trick for a party, do you have any—" The man in white military uniform stroked her hand while a strange smile appeared on his face.
Starlight smiled and approached him, saying ambiguously, "Let me tell you a secret, actually when I'm ———, my eyes light up."
"Wow, cool." The man in the white uniform looked eager to try it out.
Wherever the Chinese people went, everyone turned to look at them in greeting.
Even standing next to Li Yuan were several high-ranking military officials, casually discussing cooperation.
Madeline was having a pleasant conversation with several high-ranking officials.
Suddenly, a well-dressed, elegant elderly Black man called her name softly from behind in a very magnetic voice: "Madeline, may I speak with you in private? I'd like to talk to you."
Upon hearing the voice, Madeline immediately turned around, looking surprised. "Mr. Edgar, I didn't expect you to come."
Li Yuan, who was not far away, noticed this scene. Looking at the black man who looked like he used to be the owner of a fried chicken shop, he had a sudden thought and knew that this was Stan Edgar, the president of Walter, who rarely appeared on the 99th floor.
Edgar led Madeline to a secluded corner and handed her a folded tissue.
Madeline seemed to sense something was amiss. Her hands trembled slightly as she unfolded the tissue. After just one glance, her eyes widened in shock.
She took a deep breath to calm her excited heart: "Wow~"
Seeing her expression, Edgar smiled slightly and said calmly, "The Pentagon pays us over $40 billion a year, so you should receive a share of that in proportion."
"Wow, uh—thank you, Mr. Edgar." Madeline's smile was almost impossible to hide.
Edgar looked at her with satisfaction and nodded slightly: "Don't get too excited, Madeline, there are conditions."
"You need to move your office to the 82nd floor."
"That's your floor, sir." Madeline realized what Edgar meant, but still remained modest.
Edgar didn't seem to care and continued, "After this, you'll be my deputy at meetings."
He joked meaningfully, "But don't plan my retirement yet. I just hope that when I go on vacation, someone can help me manage this troublesome company."
"Yes, Mr. Edgar." What else could Madeline say at this point but could only agree repeatedly.
"Enjoy it, Madeline, think about the view from the 82nd floor." Edgar smiled, raised his glass in a gesture of appreciation, and turned to leave.
After he walked away, Madeline, who was so excited that she could hardly contain herself, slammed her hand on the table in front of her, drawing the attention of the high-ranking officials around her.
Having witnessed the whole thing, Li Yuan raised his glass and gave her a distant salute, only to see the man from the motherland walk towards her.
The two whispered something to each other, and then left the party together.
The night passed, and the New York sun rose again.
It was just an ordinary night, and today wasn't anything special.
However, within the Water Group, it was as if an invisible earthquake had struck, causing widespread panic and conflicting opinions.
Madeline Steelwell, the senior vice president in charge of the superhero division, was blown to pieces by a wanted criminal named Billy Butcher using dozens of kilograms of C4 explosives!
Meanwhile, A-Train from The Seven also lost consciousness and fell into a coma due to a heart attack!
At this critical juncture, Vought Group President Stan Edgar personally stepped forward to negotiate the details of the cooperation with the Department of Defense.
Meanwhile, a series of changes occurred within the Wotter Group: some were promoted, some were demoted, some joined, and some disappeared.
In a packed auditorium.
Homelander stood on the stage, the lights illuminating his golden hair as if it were glowing.
He took a deep breath and said slowly with a heavy expression, "Today, I want to announce some heartbreaking news to the people of the whole country."
"One of the members of Super Seven has sadly passed away. Let us all mourn for him."
"The Invisible Man! He was brutally murdered by a super terrorist during a secret mission!"
"He seemed to know beforehand that he was going to die, and he said to me, 'Fatherlander, tell my son I love him!'"
"He also said, 'Homelander, you must capture all those super terrorists and stop their atrocities!'"
At this moment, Homelander looked at the Invisible Man's son in the audience and solemnly said, "I assure you, Maverick, and all the people of this country, I will stop them!"
"I will definitely save you!"
-
"For you, for our country, for my dear teammate, the Invisible Man!"
He raised his arm and placed it on the seemingly empty transparent coffin beside him, then lowered his head: "Farewell, brother, thank you."
At this moment, the light surrounding him disappeared, and his figure dimmed.
At the same time, another beam of light shone on the stage, illuminating the figure of Xingguang.
Wearing a sexy version of her outfit and holding a microphone, Starlight sang "Never Truly Vanish" with deep emotion. Accompanied by photos of the invisible man before his death, the funeral was filled with touching and tearful moments.
After that, Homelander took to the stage again, microphone in hand, and said passionately, "Invisible Man, my brother, though you are gone, your spirit lives on!"
"Today, a young man will inherit your will, join the Super Seven, and together we will complete the unfinished work!"
"Next, please welcome the newest member of the Super Seven—Crimson Dawn!"
Snapped!
A beam of light shone down, illuminating Li Yuan's figure behind the coffin.
He slowly stepped forward and gently placed his hand on the invisible man's transparent coffin: "Invisible man, my idol, I never imagined that our first real meeting would be here!"
"Today, I swear here that I will fight against super terrorists with all my might, protect the people, and protect the country!"
"Please believe me, I will carry on your legacy and continue the fight!"
His voice was impassioned, almost a roar as he made his vow.
Snap snap snap ————
Thunderous applause erupted in the auditorium.
Li Yuan placed one hand on the invisible man's coffin and waved to the audience with the other, as if he were feeling the heavy trust and responsibility.
After the ceremony, the three members of the Super Seven walked out of the charity organization's venue together.
At this moment, the outside was already surrounded by a bustling crowd.
Some people offered flowers to the Invisible Man, some waved signs with the Invisible Man's name on them, and some sold merchandise related to the Invisible Man. It was quite a lively scene.
After being interviewed for quite a while, Li Yuan, Zu Guoren, and Xing Guang finally left.
a few days later.
At this moment, Madeline's office was in a mess, with piles of building materials.
The original interior decoration was completely demolished, and her traces gradually disappeared.
Standing in this familiar room, the people of the motherland were filled with a myriad of emotions.
Just then, Ashley walked in from outside and respectfully said to Homelander, "Thank you for your recommendation. My goodness, I never expected to be the one sitting in this position."
"I will do everything I can to give my best for the Super Seven."
Seeing that Homelander only nodded slightly, she asked again, "Has that madman named Butcher, the one who bombed Madeline, been caught?"
Homelander seemed unwilling to discuss it further, turning away and casually saying, "Not yet, but we'll catch him sooner or later."
Seeing that Homelander wasn't very interested, Ashley's eyes darted around, and she said in a boastful tone, "Oh, right, I have some good news. I've found a superhero who can fill the void left by the Deep Sea."
"And so, the Super Seven will be complete once again!"
Homelander whirled around, a joyful smile spreading across his face: "Really? So fast?"
Hearing the praise from her homelander, Ashley's face lit up with delight: "He's at the gym, would you like to meet him?"
The man's smile widened: "Wow, you've arranged everything! That's so thoughtful!"
But the next moment, his expression changed drastically; the smile vanished instantly, and his face looked as if he were about to explode and kill someone: "Who gave you that right?!"
His voice was deep and cold, instantly sending chills down Ashley's spine and causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I—" Ashley's face was pale, and she waved her hands repeatedly.
Homelander strode up to her, pointed a finger at her nose, and coldly rebuked, "Listen to me carefully! You got this position entirely because of me; you're utterly insignificant!"
"Therefore, you must obey me completely!"
"From now on, I will set my own schedule, approve my own marketing strategies, and write my own speech scripts!"
"And you, you're responsible for reporting everything that happens on the 99th floor to me! Every phone call, every email, every message, even something as simple as a light bulb needing a replacement—you have to tell me!"
A cold glint flashed in his blue eyes: "And who gave you permission to decide the members of the Super Seven?"
"Only I have this authority, do you understand?!"
Ashley was so startled by his sudden outburst that she trembled all over and kept saying, "OK, OK, I understand, I understand."
Seeing her like this, the man nodded in satisfaction and left.
the next day.
Lee Won, Patriot, and Maeve, along with other actors, filmed a GG video in a model room of a military base that had been set up.
Suddenly, a woman walked in, holding a phone and live-streaming, while constantly making sarcastic remarks: "As you can see, this isn't a real military base. How could Homelanders really be squatting in trenches eating military rations with the soldiers?"
"If you look closely, you'll notice that the soldier they're introducing actually acted in another film—"
Hearing the commotion, Homelander looked over, and Ashley quickly came over to stop him: "Excuse me, we're here—"
She was interrupted before she could finish speaking. The woman holding the phone smiled and greeted Homelander, saying, "Hi, this is Storm. The person on the 82nd floor asked me to come and see you."
"I'm a new member of the Super Seven."
