Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1132 Tokyo Hunting Ground
Today's Tokyo is no longer the bustling and bustling international metropolis, but a battlefield shrouded by unknown forces. The air is filled with an indescribable tension and expectation.

The outline of the city appears blurred under the night sky, the street lights are dim, and the occasional roar of cars seems to be the only life in the city.

Everyone who comes here, whether they are mercenaries with ulterior motives or agents with secret missions, all have their own purposes and flock to the mysterious place known as the "Supernatural Battlefield".

On this battlefield, forces from all over the world gathered together, among which the most eye-catching were the American chaebols and island nation consortiums.

With their strong economic power and complex network of personal connections, they almost monopolized the initiative in this battle.

Those forces that have not established connections with these two major forces, even if they want to get a piece of the pie in this chaos, can often only look on and stay away, because here, not having a backer means not even having the qualifications to "die".

On this land, forces from all over the world gather together, and they all have close ties with America and the island countries, whether overtly or covertly.

Without this relationship, no matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this battlefield.

Major mercenary organizations were hired by American tycoons and island nation consortiums to become the executors of their private affairs.

Mercenaries, an industry full of blood and profit, have been pushed to the forefront on the extraordinary battlefield.

Among them, there are soldiers who lost their homes due to the war and desperate criminals who will do anything for money.

At this moment, they are undergoing a series of strict identity verification procedures, which is a comprehensive check of documents, fingerprints and iris recognition to ensure that everyone entering the battlefield is not an imposter or a spy sent by the enemy.

"The documents match. Name: Jack Reynolds. Nationality: England. Affiliated with the Black Hawk mercenary group."

A mercenary wearing sunglasses and camouflage uniform sneered after confirming that his information was correct.

Next to him, Emily Dupont from France seemed more cautious.

"Fingerprint comparison confirmed that Emily Dupont is a former member of the French Foreign Legion and currently an elite member of the Cheetah mercenary group."

Passing through the island nation's Self-Defense Forces' seemingly tight but actually fragile defense line, they stepped into a completely different world - an extraordinary battlefield.

Every inch of land here seemed to be eroded by some mysterious force. The air was filled with a faint fishy and burnt smell. The sky in the distance flashed with strange lights from time to time. Those were the traces left by the battle and also the foreshadowing of a new round of killing.

The Foreign Legion, a special military force composed of elites from all over the world, travels through war-torn corners of the world with its unique existence.

They are not bound by nationality, and their only loyalty is to the US dollars in their hands and the employers behind them.

In this land baptized by war, the members of the Foreign Legion are like ghosts in the night, silently shuttling between the ruins, carrying out high-risk, high-reward missions.

To their employers, their life and death are just a string of numbers on the books. They do not need to receive any compensation, nor do they have to bear any pressure from public opinion.

In such an environment, even the act of "selling out teammates" is, in their view, a helpless choice made for survival, and they feel nothing in their hearts.

However, this seemingly ordinary battlefield actually hides unknown secrets.

The target of the foreign legion members this time is not ordinary hostile forces, but those "monsters" beyond imagination, derived from ancient myths or under the influence of unknown energy. Some of these creatures are shaped like giant dragons, soaring in the sky, spewing hot flames; some are like ghosts, shuttling in the invisible, making it difficult to guard against.

Their strength and speed far exceed those of ordinary humans, making them the most terrifying existence on the battlefield.

But at the same time, their value is immeasurable. A living monster is enough to exchange for rewards that are dozens of times higher than ordinary tasks, which is enough to make any soldier excited.

Jack Reynolds is tall and muscular, with his eyes flashing with a mixture of desire for money and fear of the unknown.

He had seen too many incredible things on this battlefield, but whenever he thought of those priceless monsters and demons, an irrepressible fire of greed would ignite in his heart.

He secretly swore that as long as he could capture a few living monsters on this battlefield, it would be enough to ensure he had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and even make him a wealthy man.

However, reality is always more cruel than imagination.

The demons and monsters are not only powerful, but also extremely cunning. They know how to use the complex terrain and traps on the battlefield to avoid being hunted, and can even imitate the voice and appearance of humans to make the hunters fall into a thick fog.

To make matters worse, the environment on the battlefield is extremely harsh. Abandoned buildings are like sharp blades, and broken roads are like death traps. Every slight negligence may become a fatal threat.

One day, when the sun had just risen from the horizon and the members of the Foreign Legion were sitting around a ruin, sharing scarce food and water, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the sky.

They looked up and saw a drone hovering overhead, flashing red warning lights.

The technicians accompanying the team quickly interpreted the information sent by the drone: "Slime-level monster spotted at ten o'clock!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert, raised their weapons, and looked in the designated direction. They saw a mysterious creature quietly approaching them in the ruins not far away.

The creature was small, only the size of a human head, with eight long legs and a long tail. There were also sac-like structures on both sides of its body, and its overall color was flesh-white and brown.

It moves quickly and silently, as if blending in with its surroundings.

"It's a facehugger!"

An experienced team member quickly recognized the creature.

Facehugger, that’s the name they gave to this mysterious creature.

Although its threat level is only "Slime Level", don't be fooled by its appearance.

This creature has a strong parasitic ability. Once it comes into contact with a human, it will hug the face tightly, insert its sharp mouthparts into the mouth, and inject eggs.

They also have highly acidic blood in their bodies, which can not only corrode human flesh, but can even corrode hard substances such as metals.

Therefore, once infected by a face hugger, there is almost no chance of survival.
