The First Order: Kill

In a towering skyscraper, an authoritative old man—the highest leader of the nation—stood facing the window.His gaze swept over the metropolitan city now engulfed in smoke and destruction. Fires raged in the distance. Sirens wailed in every direction.A scene he never imagined would unfold in his own country.

Chiiiik—chiiiik.

A strange sound echoed from the air vent.A rat with glowing red eyes crept into the room. Its body was as large as a fully grown cat.

The rat turned, locking eyes with the old man. Then it charged forward, aiming to bite and tear him apart.

But when it was only a few centimeters away—The old man turned around.

BANG!

His leg shot up high—Then crashed down with full force.

He stomped the mutant rat onto the floor.It let out a sharp, piercing screech, but the old man showed no fear, no disgust—no mercy.

His face remained cold. Frozen. Terrifying.

He looked calm—as if he had merely crushed a bug.Without hesitation, he pressed harder until the rat's body burst apart.Blood splattered across the floor, staining his leather shoes and expensive tailored suit.

There was no emotion in his eyes.Only burning rage…And a murderous intent that radiated clearly from his gaze.

Slowly, he reached into his pocket.Pulled out a phone.Pressed a single number.

The line connected almost immediately.

Without any small talk, the old man uttered a single, cold word—One filled with pressure and lethal meaning.

"Kill."

Silence.

Then the voice on the other end responded crisply, in a military tone:"Yes, Sir!"

The call ended.

The old man turned back to the window.The city was still burning.But his gaze had changed.

From calm…To ruthless.

With just one word from that man, the entire nation was shaken.This time, the military would no longer hold back.

They deployed all available personnel, equipment, and the most advanced weapons in their arsenal.Even top-secret weapons—hidden from the public eye—were finally revealed and made their debut.

In a mid-sized city, a massive military aircraft soared through the sky, dropping no fewer than a thousand elite soldiers.They wore special suits with gas masks and carried heavy weapons connected to tanks and tubes.

One soldier landed in the yard of a kindergarten.Upon entering the building, he was met with a horrifying sight—The mangled bodies of children scattered across the floor, gnawed by swarms of black rats.

The soldier stood still. Grim.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger on his strange weapon.

FWOOOSH!

Blue flames erupted wildly, engulfing the entire room.The mutant rats screeched, trying to escape—but there was no way out.The fire spread in every direction, cleansing everything—including the small corpses.

No mercy.Only duty.

Meanwhile, in the major city where Lin Xian resided—

A hundred military trucks entered the area, carrying thousands of soldiers and combat equipment.The convoy moved in formation, escorted by armored vehicles, and deployed systematically throughout the city.

Unlike the previous flame units, these troops brought Combat Exoskeletons—Two-meter-tall war machines equipped with auto rifles and grenade launchers on both arms.

As they entered the battlefield, they unleashed relentless firepower on the mutant rats.Explosions and gunfire filled the air.Rat bodies flew, torn apart by bullets, crushed by steel and fire.

Elsewhere, five fighter jets streaked across the sky.

They locked onto an old landfill—suspected to be the main nest of the mutant rats.

BOOOOM!!!

Five bombs, each weighing 100 kilograms, were dropped in unison.A massive explosion shook the ground, leveling the entire area and sending thick black clouds soaring into the sky.

That day, it was no longer an invasion of mutant rats.

It was a slaughter—A brutal counterattack by humanity.

And the command that triggered it all…Was a single word:

"Kill."

The same horrifying scenes unfolded simultaneously across the globe.

And although the power of these mutant rats was truly terrifying—

Humanity… had not yet lost.

Elsewhere, Lin Xian sat in front of the television, watching the news of the mutant rat invasion.Images of destruction, civilian screams, and reports of full military deployment flooded the screen.

His eyes narrowed.

"Even the military is stepping in… But this is also a great opportunity."

Not to save the world.

But to test his power.

After awakening the mysterious strength from the golden chain, Lin Xian had never truly tested it in a real-life scenario.

Now was the perfect moment—A chaos large enough to let him roam freely… without attracting too much attention.

He stood up and pulled something from under his bed—a mask.

The upper part was open, revealing his eyes.The lower part covered from nose to chin, resembling the snarling jaw of a Japanese Oni, complete with sharp teeth in a twisted, devilish grin.

It gave him an aura both mysterious and threatening.

From the kitchen, Liu Yanyan approached, concern written all over her face.

"You're going out?"

"I want to test something," Lin Xian replied.

"You know it's dangerous out there, right?"

"I know." He glanced at her.

"But I can't just sit here."

Yanyan bit her lip, then nodded slowly."…Then be careful. And come back alive."

Before leaving, Lin Xian pulled her close and kissed her—A hot, intense kiss filled with tension and desire.

Yanyan gasped softly as he let go.

Without delay, Lin Xian left the employee dormitory, descending the stairs and heading toward the attack zone mentioned in the news.

It was about one kilometer away.

But with his newly enhanced body, strengthened by supernatural force, his physical ability had more than doubled.

He sprinted like a gust of wind, cutting through alleys and streets.In under two minutes, he had covered the entire distance—faster than any Olympic sprinter.

Behind his Oni mask, Lin Xian's sharp eyes focused forward.

And he murmured to himself—

"…Let's just hope no one sees me."
