I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 313. Houston

With the last border patrol officer’s neck twisted by "Number 0," the battle ceased after just ten seconds.

Civilians screamed abandoning their cars to flee for their lives, some even ran while filming with their phones, shouting wildly:

"Did you see that? The thug snapped a cop’s head off!"

The scene was chaotic as Lu Li calmly walked past the "border checkpoint" and set foot on the soil of the Star Alliance Country.

"This is... Texas. My father once wanted to smuggle me here, but before we could cross the border, he was shot and injured in the leg..."

Lu Li got caught up in a moment of reminiscence but quickly shook it off.

He looked at three police cars parked a short distance away; three Puppets immediately went up to start the vehicles and drove them over.

Lu Li got into the middle car, while the other two were driven by Number 0 and Ah Da. They floored the gas and sped away.

The convoy raced east along the open Texas interstate highway, and Lu Li checked the map on his phone, noting that they would pass through the fourth largest city in the Star Alliance Country—Houston.

The city, located on the coastal plain with numerous rivers and lakes, was perfect for him to practice and attempt his first extraction of the Spirit Mechanism.

However, before long, the whirring of a helicopter could be heard overhead, a police helicopter painted in blue and white.

The helicopter firmly followed above the convoy providing guidance, and soon a large number of police cars with sirens blaring came in hot pursuit.

The words State Trooper were painted on the police cars, indicating that they were from the Texas State Police.

Up ahead on the highway, a large number of state police had also set up spikes and barricades and readied their rifles in expectation.

The mere handful of armed cops didn’t interest Lu Li enough to lift a finger against them.

One of the other two cars in the team suddenly accelerated, slamming into the officers manning the roadblock.

The other car, driven by Ah Da, swerved sharply and charged toward the large number of police coming from behind.

Gunshots erupted instantly, popping and exploding like firecrackers, followed swiftly by human screams of agony and shock.

The Terminator was on a killing spree on both fronts, while Lu Li’s vehicle just kept driving forward at an unhurried pace.

By the time they reached the blockade, only bodies and fiercely burning police cars remained; the spikes and barricades had been cleared away by the Puppets.

Ah Da quickly dealt with the pursuers and caught up with the team.

The convoy moved on as if nothing had happened.

The extraordinarily swift annihilation of the state police drew a further response from the Star Alliance Country.

All of the television stations in Texas started broadcasting an emergency news bulletin simultaneously:

[The police and thugs are engaged in intense gunfire on the interstate highway, with heavy casualties on the police side, and the thugs have broken through the checkpoint]

The footage showed Lu Li’s convoy, already not far from Houston.

The city remained the largest oil industrial center and the third biggest port in the Star Alliance Country, a hub for the natural gas pipeline network!

Startled by the developments, the Governor of Texas quickly mobilized the National Guard to encircle and suppress the criminals.

However, the military’s mobilization would take time, and the first to act was the S.W.A.T anti-terrorist team.

At that moment, the city was full of piercing sirens.

Most citizens had no clue what was going on, assuming it was just another shooting incident, and didn’t pay much attention.

After all, carrying a rifle around a supermarket wasn’t illegal in Texas.

Meanwhile, Lu Li had begun to gaze from afar at the city, towering with high-rises and incredibly bustling.

Seeing that he’d arrived at his location, his Divine Soul Emerged, soaring into the sky for Qi Observation.

With Heavenly Eye open, the complex spectrum of electromagnetic reflections flooded his vision.

Knowing that where there were Spirit Veins there would be water, he focused his attention solely on the water veins.

Houston, established in 1836, wouldn’t lack water veins in a city built in that era.

There were the Blasos River, Trinity River, Haxinto River, and several other rivers both large and small, all flowing southward into the Moxico Bay.

Following the numerous rivers and searching briefly, Lu Li quickly found a cluster of bright azure radiance—it was the Spirit Vein!

Located right in the middle of many rivers in the Southern Houston area, it was not far from the ocean!

"Advance quickly!"

Lu Li immediately commanded his team to head towards the location of the Spirit Vein after his Divine Soul had returned.

But wanting to get there required crossing the city, and the special police would certainly not agree!

At this moment, the three vehicles carrying Lu Li’s team had entered the urban area, and ahead lay Houston’s busiest commercial street, Westheimer.

S.W.A.T. officers clad in blue combat uniform, holding various firearms, occupied advantageous shooting positions and were continuously waving to disperse the crowd.

Civilians nearby, seeing this arrangement, hurriedly scattered and ran off.

Only a few internet celebrities, more interested in money than life, excitedly hid nearby holding up their cellphones to capture the scene.

There wasn’t time to drive them off, for Lu Li’s motorcade was already approaching.

"Fire at will!"

A total of 60 S.W.A.T. officers armed with M4s, Scars, and other rifles opened fire in unison, and the street immediately erupted with gunshots!

The windshields and side mirrors of Lu Li’s three vehicles burst upon impact, riddling the bodies of the cars with bullet holes.

Leaving only a Puppet to drive for Lu Li, the rest, under the leadership of Puppet Number 0 and Ah Da, jumped out, wielding previously captured M4 rifles, shooting and charging at the same time.

Bullets whistled through the air, and both sides conducted a spray-and-pray shootout in the middle of the street; at first glance, it looked just like a Hollywood cop-and-robber gunfight movie. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

But it was the more numerous special police who were beaten back step by step!

At this moment, the special police team leader dragged a subordinate who had been shot in the thigh back to cover, simultaneously roaring into his earphone,

"The criminals are wearing heavy-duty bulletproof vests, our weapons are ineffective, we need backup! We need backup!"

As he spoke, a sniper positioned high up fired a Barrett sniper rifle.

A massive bullet struck a Puppet squarely in the chest, causing it to step back only once, and then it was as if nothing had happened?

This ordinary Puppet leaped forward, and with just one punch, he caved in the chest of a special officer, sending him flying through the air, blood spraying all over.

The special officers wore "boron carbide ceramic plate" bulletproof vests, which also made it difficult for rifles to kill them, so the Puppets began choosing hand-to-hand combat.

Some used their fists, others jammed the muzzle of their guns into an enemy’s face to fire, continuously killing the officers.

The team leader fired his rifle wildly, but could only create sparks on the Puppets, nothing else was effective.

The man, with a look of despair on his face, was pierced through the heart by a palm knife from Ah Da, who then flung the body into a nearby crowd of people, provoking screams,

"Look at these guys! Oh, God! We can sell this footage directly to NBC!"

These were young people obsessed with becoming internet celebrities, whose intelligence was so low they needed calculators for the simplest of addition and subtraction.

But correspondingly, they had big guts and managed to record the entire process.

Lu Li was solely focused on the Spirit Vein and had no time to care about them, commanding his team to keep moving south.

After the special police were wiped out, only sporadic police resistance remained along the way, easily crushed by the Puppets.

Lu Li soon arrived at the area where the Spirit Vein was located, but he saw standing in the distance were numerous immense white tanks, facilities for storing natural gas!

Houston was a hub of the natural gas pipeline network and also the largest natural gas export terminal in the Star Alliance Country.

The super-cold liquefied natural gas in these white tanks would be loaded onto tankers and shipped all over the world.

Lu Li ignored them, focusing instead on locating the precise spot of the Spirit Vein.

From the sky, Qi Observation made it look like a very small area, but on the ground, it spanned the size of a housing complex.

Lu Li sensed the air’s concentration and searched all around until his eyes lit up, finding a location where the Spirit Mechanism was exceptionally rich!

But with this delay, the National Guard had already arrived.

On the highway, military trucks, Humvees, armored vehicles... even tanks, one after another, were advancing.
