#625 - Chapter 2: A Shining Debut

The Trump International Hotel \u0026 Tower, completed in 2009, is a comprehensive building integrating shopping malls, office buildings, residences, hotels, and entertainment venues. With 98 floors and a height of 423 meters including the metal spire, it is an iconic landmark in Chicago.

A streak of deep blue light appeared in the stairwell on the 70th floor of the building. A blue arc of electricity flashed, melting a large hole through the security door and the wall.

A figure emerged from the light, waving away the dust swirling around. He said, "The positioning still has some issues, and the noise from the passage is too loud. This needs to be optimized."

The person was none other than Liu Yuan, who had teleported using a small spatial bridge. Due to the indiscriminate attacks by the Decepticons on the city, most of the citizens had already fled. The only people in the entire building were the human traitors who followed the Decepticons, along with their bodyguards and service personnel. However, they were all in the hotel area below, and the upper floors of the building were deserted.

Liu Yuan strode to the window, surveying the city below filled with thick smoke. He could occasionally see Decepticon aircraft darting around.

The white building across the way is the Wrigley Building, also known as the Wrigley chewing gum headquarters. This building was built in 1920, designed after the Spanish Seville Cathedral's spires, and features a clock tower. The consulates of Austria and the Netherlands are also located there.

At this moment, Optimus Prime's red paint job could be clearly seen on top of the building, along with Megatron's wasteland-style appearance. It seemed that he hadn't recovered from the injuries of a few years ago. Those two guys didn't seem to be getting along very well. Optimus Prime was rubbing Megatron's head against the wall, while Starscream nonchalantly turned away, pretending not to see his leader's embarrassing moment.

On Lake Michigan, several V-22 Ospreys flew past. Inside the cabin, William was making the final arrangements: "Alright, brothers! Next, an infantry regiment will attack from the south of the city, and they will try their best to buy us time by attracting the Decepticon forces. We will rapidly advance from the northeast of the city. Once we enter the designated area, we will immediately parachute and use paragliders to land. We will eventually meet at North Wabash Avenue."

The U.S. military has never stopped attacking the Decepticons. This time, a mechanized infantry regiment from the 4th Infantry Division launched an attack, consisting of a tank battalion and two mechanized infantry battalions, with the brigade's helicopter battalion providing cover. Furthermore, there was artillery support from M109 155mm self-propelled howitzers and M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS). Under the overwhelming firepower, the Decepticons in the southern district were temporarily pushed back.

Soon, a large number of aircraft turned to support the southern battlefield. The five Ospreys took the opportunity to approach Chicago. The number of Decepticons was greater than expected, and a dozen more Decepticon gunboats flew over. One of the Ospreys, along with the soldiers on board, turned into a ball of fire in the sky.

"Damn it! Scatter, scatter immediately!" William shouted anxiously.

At this moment, a squadron of F-22s flew from behind and engaged the Decepticon gunboats without saying a word. Taking this opportunity, the remaining 4 Ospreys quickly climbed. The pilot shouted, "There's no time, you have to jump now."

William led the NEST soldiers, jumped from the plane, and soon deployed their wingsuits, quickly disappearing into the towering buildings. Not long after they left, all 4 Ospreys were destroyed, and even the F-22 squadron that came to support retreated after losing half of their aircraft.

The Pentagon, the display screen was a blank. General Morshower sighed, "The signal is interrupted. We must have confidence in Colonel Lennox and those soldiers. But we must prepare for the worst. I propose preparing ballistic missiles! The last battle in Egypt showed that missiles are effective against Decepticons."

Everyone was silent. This decision was not simple. Agreeing to order the bombing of the third largest city in the homeland, even they would have a hard time explaining to the public if it caused a large number of civilian casualties.

Just then, an officer came in and handed the file in his hand to Morshower. The general looked at it and said, "Okay, gentlemen. The President has authorized it. Now we can go all out. The 10,000 men of the 3rd Division have arrived, plus the 38th and 41st Divisions of the National Guard, we already have 50,000 ground troops. As long as Colonel Lennox's operation is successful, we get the information from inside, we can launch a full-scale attack, we must let these aliens know how powerful we are."

The twenty-eighth floor of the Trump Tower, which is the first stepped platform of the building, is the original hotel's outdoor banquet hall. Simmons and Dutch hacked into Dylan's phone, and the camera's location showed that he was here.

A Decepticon gunboat hovered and passed by here. The humans inside were used to it, but they also subconsciously left the rooms near the window.

Taking this opportunity, Sam crawled out of the cockpit and jumped onto the building's balcony. Avoiding the sight of the maids and bodyguards, he hid behind the refrigerator with a gun in his hand. He knew he hadn't come to the wrong place because he had already heard Dylan complaining.

Dylan walked out of the inner room, muttering, "It's really annoying, I hate waiting the most."

Sam immediately jumped out, pointing the gun at his head and said, "I also hate waiting, where is Carly? Give her back to me, or I'll blow your head off with one shot."

Dylan was very surprised to see Sam: "How did you find this place? I must say, you have admirable courage."

"Sam!" Carly heard his voice from the inner room and immediately ran out.

"Creak, creak~!" The LCD TV on the wall twisted and combined, actually transforming into Laserbeak. It spread its wings and pounced on Sam. The sharp claws pierced Sam's arm, dragging him towards the window to fly out.

"Boom!" A bullet shot over, hitting Laserbeak. One of its wings was torn off by the bullet, and then it crashed into the kitchen.

"Sam, how many times have I saved you?" Liu Yuan came in from outside the door, holding the Dawn Hunter rifle in his hand.

Seeing that things were not going well, Dylan shouted, "Someone, stop him!" After saying that, he ran towards the outside of the room himself, and several bodyguards rushed over with guns.

Sam shouted, "Mr. Liu, be careful!"

Liu Yuan didn't even turn his head and fired a shot. The muzzle spewed out a four-to-five-meter-long flame, it was a dragon's breath round. The upper bodies of the five bodyguards were instantly blown away, and a mass of flesh and blood was plastered on the wall.

"Ugh~!" Carly couldn't stop feeling nauseous after seeing it, and Sam's face was also pale.
