Starting in The Boys to Become the Ultimate Lifeform.

145. Chapter 145: As If Becoming a Work of Art

"Mr. Jervis, please look. The wanted individuals we're looking for are circled in red. They first left through Entrance B, then got into a white Toyota Corolla, and subsequently passed by the Church, but they didn't stop and continued driving forward.

Soon, they drove the Corolla and left the Philadelphia City Center.

Because there aren't many traffic enforcement cameras within Philadelphia, we've accessed some street cameras. However, what we need to worry about is that once they drive out of Philadelphia and escape to the Suburbs, we might lose real-time surveillance of them."

The United States has a vast territory. Coupled with public protests against enforcement cameras—because people feel they lose their freedom—this has led to a decreasing number of enforcement cameras, or them being better hidden.

"Once they leave the surveillance range, immediately apply to the US Department of Defense for GBS access in the name of Vought International to lock onto their location," Xia Shang said with a sharp gaze.

Since Billy chose to send the challenge letter to Stormfront now, it means he has arranged everything. As for whether his actions would disrupt the plan Billy and the others had prepared in advance, Xia Shang didn't care. As long as Stormfront could be lured out by them, his purpose would be largely achieved.

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, the technical personnel sitting beside Xia Shang said excitedly, "Mr. Jervis, they have stopped at a Wooden Cabin in the Suburbs. The car hasn't moved."

"Very good." Stormfront took the iPad from his hand, glanced down at it, and immediately determined it was Billy and their hiding place.

Sure enough, the so-called abandoned Chemical Plant was just a trap they set. Did they really think she would take the bait? "Thanks."

Stormfront smiled and patted the technical personnel's shoulder. Then she raised her head, and a gale surged around her body. In an instant, her figure flew straight towards the horizon. In the blink of an eye, Stormfront completely disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

...

On the other side, the still shaken Frenchie, after entering the house, the first thing he did was pour Kimiko a glass of purified water.

"Drink some water to calm down. We'll be able to avenge your brother soon." Frenchie sat down beside Kimiko. Only then did his heart, which had been in his throat, finally settle back down.

From the start of this mission until its end.

Frenchie's mind was in a state of extreme tension from beginning to end. He not only had to worry about Kimiko, who could lose control at any moment, but also had to guard against Stormfront suddenly attacking them. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Stormfront perhaps spared them and let them leave because she was concerned about the large number of people at the scene.

"After you finish the water, we need to leave quickly. This place isn't safe, in case..."

Just then, Frenchie's gaze inadvertently looked out the window. Was it a hallucination? Why did he feel a streak of blue light coming towards them?

"No! It's Stormfront! How could she be so fast!" While terrified, Frenchie didn't forget to grab Kimiko's hand.

"You go down first." Frenchie led Kimiko to a corner inside the house. He lifted the wooden board used to conceal the entrance to the Tunnel and urged Kimiko to hurry down.

Kimiko looked down. Seeing that the Tunnel was extremely dark without a trace of light, she looked timidly at Frenchie. The endless darkness seemed to stir up the shadows deep within her heart. The images of being imprisoned in the Dungeon, tortured, and never seeing the light of day flooded into her mind instantly.

"I'm with you." Frenchie looked into Kimiko's eyes, appearing anxious but pretending to be calm.

In an instant, the images in Kimiko's mind receded like a tide. She nodded obediently, then turned and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.

The very next second after the two entered the Tunnel, a lightning bolt followed closely! It instantly destroyed the Wooden Cabin's rooftop. Immediately after, the wooden rooftop burst into a large fire. For a moment, the flames spread like venomous snakes. Soon, the suddenly rising temperature and rolling black smoke quickly woke the two who were sleeping. Both looked around in terror.

They felt as if they were in a sea of fire.

You know, Stormfront wasn't Homelander.

If it were Homelander, he might enter to check the situation and only act after confirming he hadn't come to the wrong place.

But Stormfront was different. She didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, especially in the Suburbs where there were no witnesses. She would become even more reckless. Several lightning bolts continuously shot out from her palm, as if she wouldn't stop until the Wooden Cabin was completely destroyed.

"Shit! Someone is attacking the Wooden Cabin, we have to leave quickly." Mammad roared angrily.

At the same time, he controlled sand and stone to cover his whole body.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Mammad was about to take Iva and rush out of the sea of fire.

But when he turned his head, he saw Iva hit by a lightning bolt. With a bang, Iva, who had been full of life just moments before, instantly turned into a nearly carbonized corpse.

A wave of fear stemming from death instantly seized Mammad's heart.

"Run, I have to run." Mammad no longer cared about the mission Homelander had given him. His only thought now was to escape! Unfortunately, Stormfront wouldn't let him go easily, especially since Mammad was also Black.

"You fried chicken-loving nigger, I could smell the stench coming off you from a kilometer away." Stormfront's expression was cold. Her body was enveloped by countless tiny lightning bolts, and electrical light flickered freely from her eyes. As she aimed her palm at Mammad, the next second! An extremely thick lightning bolt shot out, tearing through the air! "Surrender! I surrender!"

Facing the incoming lightning, Mammad instinctively knelt on the ground, covering his head with his hands, begging Stormfront to spare him.

However, when the lightning struck, Mammad's life and posture were frozen in that moment.

Enveloped in what looked like glass, he seemed to have become a work of art.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Tunnel, Frenchie quickly dialed Billy's phone. He said anxiously, "Damn it, Stormfront followed us. I feel like those two guys won't last long. I estimate this Tunnel will be discovered by Stormfront soon. Kimiko and I have to get out quickly."

"They're dead. I'll detonate the bomb in sixty seconds. Have Kimiko carry you and escape quickly!"

Sitting in front of the computer, Billy kept taking deep breaths. His gaze was fixed anxiously on the screen, which showed completely black surveillance footage.

60! 59! 58!...
