Alligations
"What's going on?"
"Well, um, nothing really, it's just that it seems like we're about to make enemies with the whole world."
Zane awkwardly scratched his nose, speaking vaguely.
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay then, let me go pack!"
After saying that, Lorna broke free from Zane's embrace, then hurriedly ran upstairs, starting to organize her precious belongings.
Zane watched this scene dumbfoundedly, thinking that Lorna's reaction seemed a bit off!
Shouldn't she be holding his hand affectionately, then firmly saying something like 'Even if we're enemies with the world, I'll be with you' with deep emotion?
Why did she just turn around and run upstairs to pack? Are we going on a picnic?
As Zane climbed the stairs, he saw Lorna in their bedroom, carefully wrapping up each piece of jewelry he had given her on her birthday and placing them in the suitcase.
These were gifts Zane had given her on every birthday, and this silly girl had never been willing to wear them...
Seeing this scene, Zane fell silent, suddenly feeling a bit petulant.
"Sorry!"
Lorna stood up and looked at Zane with a smile of amusement, then leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.
"Married to a chicken, follow the chicken; married to a dog, follow the dog. Just my luck to end up with a husband who causes trouble everywhere."
Although she was complaining, there was a smile on Lorna's face, and Zane could even see the excitement in her eyes.
"Aren't you blaming me?" Zane was a little confused.
... ...
"Why would I blame you? You didn't try to leave me, and besides, making enemies with the whole world, just thinking about it is exhilarating!"
Excitedly, Lorna spoke, even waving her small fist a few times.
Every inch of her expression conveyed a message: she couldn't wait to cause a stir!
Suddenly, Zane felt speechless. His wife seemed like a violent maniac, what should he do?
"Why are you packing?" Zane asked curiously.
"Huh! Didn't you say we're going to make enemies with the whole world? Of course, we have to make the world our playground!" Lorna said with a sense of righteousness, looking so silly.
And when Zane heard Lorna's earnest answer, he simply covered his forehead with his hand.
This silly girl! I shouldn't have let her read those novels; she's almost becoming obsessed!
"Lorna, forget it, we're not going to make the world our playground, and besides, it's the 21st century, not ancient times!" Zane said slowly, word by word.
"Oh, I see!"
Seeing the disappointment on Lorna's face, Zane felt he had no strength left to complain.
He could only forcibly steer the conversation back on track. How did the serious matter of making enemies with the world get twisted into something strange by his martial arts enthusiast wife?
"Lorna, remember, in this world, no one can force us if we don't want to do something."
"Not even a god!"
While Zane and Lorna were still showing affection, knowing that the negotiation had failed, the U.S. government was not idle.
Having been the world's policeman for so many years, those people in the U.S. government were accustomed to being superior, how could they tolerate Zane, this troublemaker?
In their view, Zane was just someone with a bit of superpower, and the only option when facing the national machinery was compromise.
If they couldn't control Zane, then they had no choice but to eliminate this unstable element.
Although their idea was overestimating their own capabilities and even a bit ridiculous, in their worldview at their level, this was the inevitable truth!
Soon, the villa was surrounded by hundreds of fully armed special forces.
A man who looked like an officer took out a megaphone and shouted towards the villa:
"Zane Sy, you are suspected of conspiring to kill the leaders of a national important department, please cooperate with our investigation!"
"Zane Sy, you are suspected of conspiring to kill the leaders of a national important department, please cooperate with our investigation!"
"Zane Sy, you are suspected of conspiring to kill the leaders of a national important department, please cooperate with our investigation!"
"... ..."
Inside the villa, Zane smirked disdainfully, looking at Lorna.
"Ready to cause some trouble with me?"
"I can't wait!"
"Do you need me to deal with those people outside?" Lorna eagerly asked.
After speaking, green halos appeared at her fingertips, obviously not just for show.
"No need, dealing with these scum doesn't require our intervention, it's beneath us," Zane shook his head.
"Polaris, activate fortress mode and wipe out those scum outside!"
"Yes, Mr. Zane."
After receiving the command, the intelligent butler 'Polaris', Lorna instantly felt a slight tremor under her feet, as if some device in the villa's underground had been activated.
In the next moment, the sleek decorations outside the villa opened gaps, revealing energy cannons inside.
After a short time of charging, the pre-targeted small energy cannons sprayed out dazzling energy projectiles.
Each special soldier aiming their gun at the villa was instantly turned into nothingness, leaving only ashes floating in the wind, proving their existence, but everything like blast shields and bulletproof vests had no fundamental difference in the face of energy attacks, just like paper.
"Attack, give me an attack!" the officer shouted in panic.
Before coming, his superior, the President of the United States, told him to negotiate with Zane.
Try to see if there's room for negotiation, let Zane retract his order to dissolve Skynet Technology.
After all, this sudden addition of several hundred thousand unemployed people, and Skynet Technology's industry has long been spread across various fields.
Zane's command seemed simple, but the losses to the United States were not trivial.
It's not an exaggeration to say that with the dissolution of Skynet Technology, the U.S. economy instantly regressed more than five years.
Moreover, those disabled people who regained their lives thanks to Skynet Technology's therapeutic drugs have already flooded the complaint lines.
After all, if Skynet Technology were to dissolve, it would mean that the healing drugs would no longer be produced, and they would return to their previous incomplete lives.
It's worth noting that one vial of healing drug could only sustain their regrowth for three months; once the effects wore off, they would have to continue spending money to buy more.
However, seeing Zane showing no intention of negotiation, he just opened fire and wiped out nearly half of them.
Such a lunatic is impossible to communicate with. The officer now regrets volunteering for this task...
Although the soldiers who received the command were fearful, they still hid behind cover and pulled the triggers.
