Chapter 42: Strange stone men and patterns

After memorizing the patterns on these houses, Lynn Hall checked the town again.

The town in the dense fog was desolate, and with no outsiders entering, the native residents were still aimlessly wandering the streets, completely unaware.

After confirming there were no new discoveries, he prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt a chilling coldness behind him.

Without time to think, Lynn immediately rolled to another rooftop, aimed his submachine gun at the attacker purely by feel, and then pulled the trigger.

"Da da da"

The expected sound of bullets piercing through the attacker's body did not occur; instead, there was a clanging sound.

After stabilizing himself, Lynn Hall finally realized that his attacker was a bizarre stone man!

This bizarre stone man was two meters tall, and his entire body was blood-red.

Moreover, his body had completely transformed into a stone structure, so much so that even bullets striking his body caused no damage whatsoever.

"Ho ho ho"

Countless bullets struck its body, but this stone man did not retreat half a step.

Its dark red, bloodthirsty eyes stared at Lynn, and from its mouth, which was chewing on what could not be distinguished as human or animal flesh, it continuously emitted extremely harsh "ho ho" sounds.

Seeing that the submachine gun could not cause any damage to this stone man, Lynn Hall casually threw the gun to the ground.

A white, thumb-sized spherical object appeared in his hand at some point, and when the stone man lunged at him, Lynn Hall sidestepped the massive fist.

At the same time, he grabbed the stone man's thick waist and flashed behind him.

Wrapping his arms around the stone man's waist, he executed a suplex, slamming it heavily onto the ground from the rooftop.

Then, Lynn leaped down, his feet landing heavily on the stone man's body.

Although this stone man's body strength was at a BUG level, when it came to close combat, it was like a moving sandbag in front of Lynn!

With Lynn stepping on its chest, the stone man struggled continuously, trying to get up, but with Lynn's super strength, the stone man could not get up no matter how much it struggled.

Watching the stone man open its mouth and emit a horrifying sound, Lynn Hall unhesitatingly shoved the white spherical object into its mouth!

In a flash, Lynn Hall had already retreated ten meters away, watching the stone man try to get up from the ground.

Lynn Hall then pressed the button on the controller in his hand.

"Boom"

A violent explosion detonated inside the stone man's mouth; the next second, the explosive energy erupted in a flash of Fire, directly shattering the stone man's head.

This white, spherical object was a specially made miniature bomb from the Federal Bureau of Investigation; despite its small size, its power could easily destroy a house.

Seeing the stone man, whose head had been blown to pieces, no longer moving, Lynn Hall walked forward.

After confirming it had no vital signs, Lynn Hall then examined its corpse.

To prevent others from figuring out his trump card, Lynn Hall had never formally tested his strength limit.

However, Lynn could effortlessly lift the car in the parking lot, which weighed nearly two tons.

This indicates that his strength limit is at least between 15T and 25T.

He carefully examined the corpse, especially the fractured cervical spine area.

Lynn discovered that even this guy's internal structure was made of special stone.

Moreover, he checked this guy's body and found that it also had that bizarre horned hexagram pattern.

After seeing this pattern, Lynn Hall pondered for a moment, then flashed to the side and grabbed an aimlessly wandering resident to examine him.

However, this guy did not have such a pattern on his body.

Throwing the resident, who was "gesturing menacingly" at him, Lynn Hall picked up the submachine gun he had discarded and walked out of the town.

As soon as he emerged from the dense fog, he saw that the atmosphere in the camp was solemn.

Not only that, but at some point, a large group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones had arrived outside the camp.

If it weren't for the surrounding county police maintaining order and keeping them out, Lynn even thought this group of guys would rush directly into the dense fog!

"Boss, you're finally out!"

The moment Lynn appeared, Sean and Alice immediately rushed forward.

They looked Lynn up and down, wanting to see if he was injured, but then heard Lynn say, "I'm fine, what's with all these reporters?"

Facing Lynn's question, Alice said, "Boss, didn't the video about this town break a million views online?"

"But at first, this didn't attract the attention of these reporters, but from the time we took over here until now, in less than 24 hours, the views directly exceeded twenty million."

"Then these reporters found their way here like sharks smelling blood!"

Hearing Alice's explanation, Lynn frowned and said, "From yesterday afternoon to this morning, the online views suddenly increased so much? Who is the mastermind?"

"Tide Organization!"

Alice shrugged at Lynn and said, "I confirmed with the information department; the mastermind behind the surge in video views is the Tide Organization."

"And initially, the county police filmed the video and pictures just to report to their superiors, but no one knows how the video got online."

"I suspect it's very likely that the Tide Organization also hacked into the Oswego Police Department, and then..."

Hearing Alice's explanation, Lynn Hall nodded: "Expel these reporters and tell them that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will hold a press conference as soon as possible to announce the results of the investigation into this incident."

"Understood, but Boss, with the surge in online video views and discussions, I'm worried..."

"Don't worry, another matter will soon attract the attention of the media and the public!"

Saying that, Lynn walked to the side, took out his phone, and made a call!

Malibu Beach, inside Tony Stark's Villa.

"Sir, Mr. Lynn Hall is calling!"

Tony Stark, who was admiring the freshly painted armor, heard Jarvis's reminder and answered the phone: "Hey Lynn, what's up?"

"Let me guess, calling me during work hours, does it mean the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results?"

Hearing Tony Stark's words, Lynn Hall chuckled: "No results yet, but I think the answer will be revealed soon."

"But before that, I have something here that I need your help with!"

Listening to Lynn proactively asking for his help, Tony Stark put down his tools and said, "No problem, what do you need me to do?"
