Legend has it that

the Mount Phoenix

was under Wu Luo's control.

Back then, people were well-fed and well-clothed,

enjoying endless happiness.

Generations of

exploiting resources endlessly

infuriated Wu Luo.

Until 20 years ago,

under the leadership of the City Guards,

the people of Mount Phoenix

won the final victory.

However,

Wu Luo has returned.

[Nemesis]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

It's five kilometers

to the final line.

All racers have shown their skills.

The first to break through the finish line

will receive the legendary motorbike, "Black Phantom."

Who will be the winner?

Let's wait and see.

Ci Tou who is very agile is taking first place for the time being.

[Ci Tou]

The unique Huang Mao, second place.

[Huang Mao]

The mighty Ao Bai, third place.

[Ao Bai]

Judge, who has been the champion for three times, the fourth place.

[Judge]

The last one is Flashy.

Flashy Delivery.

No, he's the deliveryman.

[Zhang Xiaosao]

Mr. Flashy, Zhang Xiaosao.

The weather has been good these days.

It's the fishing season again.

Let's sail further.

There are fewer and fewer fish in the offshore waters these years.

I heard it was like this when Wu Luo arrived before.

Could it be...

I heard about it too.

It is said that we left no fish for Wu Luo as his food.

He's here for revenge.

Why do you believe something so ridiculous?

That's because you're not capable enough.

Don't scare yourself.

Check the fishing net again.

Boss.

You've been fishing all your life.

How can we be as capable as you?

Set out.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

Nice.

Flashy rides the motorbike in an agile way.

He follows Judge closely.

[Whoosh]

[Whoosh]

[Bang]

That was dangerous.

You're playing dirty.

I don't need to stand on ceremony.

[Bang]

[9 Zhang Xiaosao]

[7 Zhang Xiaosao]

Remember this.

You need to observe the weather, clouds, wind

and the water when fishing.

Master.

I understand everything you said.

I want to know more about Wu Luo.

Did you really see Wu Luo

twenty years ago?

What did it look like?

Talking about it on the sea is a taboo.

I've told you many times.

Why don't you bear it in mind?

Master.

Master.

There's a red seabream.

It's a good sign.

Go forward.

If we can catch a lot of fish today,

we'll have a good meal.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

As we can see,

Zhang Xiaosao is competing with Ci Tou.

[Live Streaming of Phoenix City Road Race]

They're neck and neck.

With experience and skills,

[The the racers' hearts are like engines, constantly accelerating to realize their dreams]

Ci Tou exceeded Zhang Xiaosao.

[5 Zhang Xiaosao] [6 Ci Tou]

Flashy descended to the sixth place.

[5 Ci Tou] [6 Zhang Xiaosao]

Wow.

[Bang]

[5 Ci Tou] [6 Zhang Xiaosao]

[5 Zhang Xiaosao] [6 Ci Tou]

These two fish are too small.

We won't take them.

This one is also small.

Throw it into the sea.

No need to throw them away.

Master.

Isn't it the rule

that we only take big fish and set small fish free?

I'm the Boss.

Of course I know the rule.

But don't you see the situation

in these years?

It's enough as long as other fishermen release small fish.

My daughter-in-law is going to give birth soon.

Let my wife make nutritious fish soup for her.

There's no rain after the thunder.

Master.

The weather today is a bit like...

I was scolded by Master

for mentioning Wu Luo just now.

Don't mention it again.

This is the last net.

We'll go back

after it.

Sure.

We are so lucky today.

We got so much fish in a while.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Clang]

[Pong]

[2 Huang Mao] [4 Zhang Xiaosao]

[2 Zhang Xiaosao]

We caught such a huge amount of fish today.

Boss.

A sharp belly.

A sharp belly jumped into the cabin.

That's a bad omen.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

What are you afraid of?

Just cut off the fish head.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Boss!

Wu... Wu...

Wu Luo.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Whoosh]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

It seems to be in the water.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

It's terrible.

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

[Finish Line]

[Racing is dangerous. [Please do not imitate.]

Now we have the champion of this Phantom Racing.

[End of Game. Champion Zhang Xiaosao]

The champion goes to Zhang Xiaosao.

Let's congratulate Zhang Xiaosao

- For winning the championship. - I won.

I made it!

He will be rewarded with the legendary motorcycle,

"Black Phantom."

No way!

Who would have thought that the winner

was him.

- He's an ordinary deliveryman. - You brat.

- He surpassed other professional racers here. - Wait and see.

As the old saying goes,

"Experts are among the people."

Friends,

let's give him a round of applause.

- Xiaosao. - Mom!

- Close the door and windows! - What did you say?

- Don't come out! - The signal is bad.

Close the door and windows!

Don't come out!

I can't hear you.

Run!

Run!

Run!

Help!

Help!

Somebody helps me!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Hurry up!

Fire!

Concentrate the fire! Hurry!

It's dangerous outside.

Go home.

Okay.

Thank you.

Mom, are you okay?

You brat.

Why did you close the door in broad daylight?

I need to run my business.

There's a monster.

The Phoenix City is surrounded by mountains and sea.

Isn't it normal that there are creatures you haven't seen?

No.

It's a leopard-like snake.

Also looks like a flower.

It has wings.

Anyway,

it's not an ordinary animal.

Then you should contact the Animal Protection Association.

I think it's Wu Luo.

Look.

Emergency news.

Wu Luo appeared again.

- It raided the city. - I didn't expect those people to be so powerful.

They're probably from the City Guards.

Twenty years ago,

they drove Wu Luo away.

- It is the fishing season now. - The City Guards?

A large number of fishermen are fishing at sea.

I didn't expect that this organization still exists.

- All fishermen, please return and go ashore. - It happened many years ago.

Back then, a few fishermen contacted reporters,

saying they saw a dragon on the sea.

But how could anyone believe that?

Everyone thought it was a piece of eye-catching news.

But not long after,

people realized what the fishermen said was true.

But that was not a dragon.

Wu Luo had a big body

and his scales were strong.

Due to the special geography of the Phoenix City,

it would cause geological disasters if the locals attacked it with missles.

That was why no one could do anything about it.

Soon,

a group of capable people gathered together

to protect the citizens

and planned to kill Wu Luo.

I remember

the boy who led the team

was young but very brave.

Everyone calls him

the Boy Defender.

The Boy Defender?

How is he now?

After Wu Luo was kicked out,

he disappeared.

I wonder if he's still in Phoenix City.

[Mount Phoenix]

Hush.

Qi, you are so great.

Qi, look here.

Qi, come here.

Come here.

Qi.

It is reported

that Wu Luo attacked the city frequently.

[Self-improvement]

It might be due to overfishing.

Stop watching it.

Where did you get this motorbike?

Well,

I participated in the race I mentioned last time.

You won?

- I knew you could do it. - Mom.

Don't be wise in retrospect.

You've already forgotten about this.

[Self-improvement]

I'm so busy with work every day.

How can I remember everything?

But I always believe

- You are the best. - Mom.

Why aren't you worried about Wu Luo?

I was scared too,

especially that year when I was pregnant with you.

I thought

it didn't matter if anything happened to me.

But the point was that you hadn't seen the world.

It happened once when it was really dangerous.

I almost...

But we were lucky.

- Later, the City Guards came. - Protect our home.

[Where are you now?]

[We need you.]

-Since your dad passed away, -Everyone is responsible.

[We need the Boy Defender.]

- I just figured out one thing. - If you want to join the City Guards...

Go after it if you have a dream.

You can cry when you fail,

but you can't be a coward.

Like I always tell you...

"Hope always exists

even though you haven't seen it."

Yes.

If you want to join the City Guards,

please call Mr. Wang.

The contact number is...

[Xilan Beef Noodles]

[One week later]

[Xilan Beef Noodles]

It is said

that Wu Luo is severely injured.

It's hiding in the Mount Phoenix.

To ensure the safety of the citizens,

please go to the delivery station

to collect daily supplies.

[Where are you now?]

Please don't linger outside.

[We need you.]

- It's so big. - As big as a mountain.

Have you heard

that the City Guards and the Armed Team

killed hundreds of small monsters last week?

Sure.

Tens of thousands of monsters were killed.

That's right.

I heard a lot of people got hurt.

I heard about it too.

I wonder if they can

drive those annoying monsters away.

That's right.

[A young girl was attacked at the Mount Phoenix]

[Bodies of a puppy and several small monsters were found at the foot of the mountain]

It's her?

Get on.

The Armed Team is right ahead.

There's a monster.

Aim on the left.

Fire!

You two,

are you okay?

Didn't you hear from the radio that it is dangerous here?

Leave here.

Okay.

We'll leave right away.

This area is still dangerous.

Do you want me to take you home?

No need.

We are from the City Guards.

The City Guards?

Thank you for your kindness.

We can do it ourselves.

You...

Come back.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Three.

Four.

Five, six.

Seven left.

Do you know how long I queued up?

But we killed those monsters.

If we let them escape,

someone will get hurt.

In the afternoon,

I saw the news about you on my phone.

You and Qi...

There are so many monsters outside.

Let me send you to the shelter.

I escaped from the shelter.

Why?

You are alone.

You don't even have a motorbike.

It was dangerous just now.

What are you afraid of?

I killed several monsters last week.

You?

I'm really from the City Guards.

You're good at driving.

Do you want to team up with me?

Coward.

Thank you for saving me.

Farewell.

Wait.

Where are you going?

To fight against the monsters.

There're so many monsters.

What if...

Then they should wait in line to be beaten by me.

See you.

Where do you live?

Hey.

My name is Zhang Xiaosao.

Nice to meet you.

Bye.

How come you only bought these eggs?

Well.

When it was my turn, the other eggs were all taken by others.

Only these were left.

Let's eat.

The meal is ready.

Mom.

Do you think there are still City Guards?

It's been 20 years.

Those people must be very old.

On my way back today,

I met a girl

and a monster.

You met a monster?

Did you get hurt?

The Armed Team saved me.

That girl was amazing too.

She said she was a City Guard.

What are you trying to say?

I also want to...

No way!

Okay, Mom.

I'll listen to you.

The City Guards kill monsters.

They're not going to be the food of the monsters.

Look at you.

You look like you're in malnutrition.

Don't cause them trouble.

Eat your food.

It's all because you ate chili every day when you were pregnant with me.

It's all my fault.

I was a picky eater

when I was a kid.

- Don't be like your father. - Let's eat.

Hello?

Hello, your package has arrived.

Okay.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

It must be him.

Zhang Xiaosao.

Long time no see.

I-I-It's you.

Ao Bai.

Don't you think the guy who beat you

looks like a grasshopper?

Did he beat me?

He cheated.

I admit it was an accident.

But you see,

that thing

actually...

Shut up.

You want to run?

[Attack]

[Hit]

I was wrong.

[Shoot]

[Hit]

[Hit]

That's enough, you two.

We have work to do.

Stop!

[Hit]

[Hit]

[Hit]

[Hit]

Stop!

[Shoot]

[Hit]

[Attack]

[Hit]

[Shoot]

[Hit]

Who is it?

Zhang Xiaosao.

Try this.

Thank you for saving my life.

You were so cool just now.

[Bang]

Zhang Xiaosao!

[Bang] [Bang] [Bang]

I didn't expect you to have such deft hands.

Almost...

Almost done.

Here.

Zhang Xiaosao!

Of those three people,

the strong one is Ao Bai,

the skinny one is Judge,

and the girl is Mulan.

They three killed many little monsters last week.

They were all on the news.

How did you offend them?

Well.

I won my Black Phantom

in the game with them.

- But... - But

you cheated?

Not really.

It's a long story.

Let me explain.

I'll give you another chance.

Will you join me to be a City Guard?

Forget it.

I never owe anyone anything.

Now we are even.

Wait.

You...

Why did you choose to be a City Guard?

Do you get paid?

A bonus of one million.

One million?

[One million]

I don't like money that much.

Come on.

If you become a hero,

you'll be admired by everyone.

Then no one dare bully you.

I'll be a hero if I'm a City Guard?

Yes.

Just like the Boy Defender.

[We need you, our hero!]

Boss.

- Mr. Zhang. - Mr. Zhang.

What can I do for you?

Zhang Xiaosao is so handsome.

So handsome!

Son, you're great.

You're my pride.

I'm proud of you.

Hey.

Hey.

Zhang Xiaosao.

Are you okay?

Darn it.

[Grim]

Looks like the situation has become so serious that I have to do something.

Don't beat about the bush.

I'll join.

Okay.

You can also get some of your friends to join us.

The more people we have, the stronger our team will be.

Friends?

Oh.

They two must join us.

Spades

is the sexiest dancer in Phoenix City.

Dancing is just her way to make a living.

Fighting is her specialty.

Her dream is to open her own bar.

Little Guy

is a typical straight man.

He is a man of great strength.

His dream is...

Well...

To get Spades to be his girlfriend.

Wait.

The typical straight man is called Little Guy.

But his body is not small in any sense.

When he was kid, he was even shorter than me.

I don't know when he just became that big

all of a sudden.

Spades.

Zhang Xiaosao.

Zhang Xiaosao.

W-W-Why didn't you tell me

that Spades would come too?

I even saw you in open-crotch pants when you were little.

What are you afraid of?

I-I-It's different.

How?

I-I-I've grown up.

All right.

I called you here to discuss something serious.

Have you ever heard about City Guards?

Of course.

Boy Defender is my dream lover.

[Jealous]

Then things are easy.

I'd like to invite you to join me to be City Guards.

But we have our jobs.

I knew you would say this.

Anyone who participates in killing Wu Luo

will receive a huge bonus.

Spades.

You want to work in the bar as a part-time dancer

for the rest of your life?

Once you get the bonus,

you can open your own bar.

Fine.

I'll let the whole world know

that my delicate hands

can not only do dance moves.

S-S-Since Spades has decided to join,

I'll join too.

But you should know that if you

choose to be a City Guard,

you must be ready to face danger at any time.

Zhang Xiaosao.

Y-Y-You are smart.

W-W-When I was young, everyone bullied me.

Only you protected me.

With you around,

I'm not afraid.

That was when I was young.

You were so little when you were young.

Now it's your turn to protect me.

D-D-Don't worry.

I'm here.

What's the rush?

Everyone is here.

Listen.

My dad said there was

another reason for Wu Luo to attack Phoenix City this time.

What is it?

Wu Luo's spawning period has come.

So she needs a lot of food to give herself energy.

The fishermen

have almost caught all the fish in the water.

That's why she thought of us as a threat to her,

and attacked Phoenix City.

What does it have to do with us?

He means

that during the spawning period, the animals are in their weakest.

Wu Luo also got hurt.

She needed some rest to recover.

This is the best time to kill her now.

That's right.

Just us?

Well.

Do you want the bonus to be shared?

The organization hasn't released any news yet.

Is there any other consideration?

Who cares?

Receive, internalize and attack.

I'll become famous in Phoenix City.

So funny.

- Zhang Xiaosao, the hero who will conquer Mount Qinglong, is here. - He looks like a grasshopper.

Blades, swords, spears,

and axes, lances, knives are all my weapons.

Even a pathetic loser wants to be a City Guard.

He's very opportunistic.

He must want the bonus.

Good.

Let me take my revenge on him today.

Calm down.

I know how to make them quit.

Okay.

[Toilet]

Is your news reliable?

Don't worry.

The spawning period is the best time to besiege her.

Let's take action tonight.

Don't tell anyone else about this.

We have a yellow-level emergency alert for lightning.

[No]

No.

We have to go too.

We can't let them get ahead of us.

Little Guy.

What do you think?

Spades.

I'll let you decide.

The greater the risk,

the greater the profit.

Since the news came to us,

we have no reason not to go.

Besides,

we have Luo Yan who knows the geography of that place so well.

She grew up in Mount Phoenix.

But

once Wu Luo wakes up,

the consequences will be disastrous.

We need to come up with a perfect plan to beat her in one go.

Got it.

My grandpa used to be a technician on the coal mine.

He participated in the exploration of the caves of Mount Phoenix.

This is the map he left behind.

There should be explosives

in the abandoned mine where he used to work.

But we need someone who knows how to use explosives.

Don't worry.

L-L-Leave it to me.

After I graduated from high school, I learned blasting...

Let me help you.

Little Guy learned the blasting theory.

He has a good command of the theoretical knowledge.

Although he's gained the licence...

I...

But he's never really detonated anything.

There are two key locations in the cave.

If we detonate bombs there,

the whole cave will collapse

and Wu Luo will be trapped and then killed.

After we arrive at the cave,

we'll split up.

Each team places explosives at the key location.

One plant the bombs,

and the other stays alert.

After the bombs are properly planted, leave immediately.

[One million]

Detonate then bombs when we arrive at the safe place.

By the way.

Everyone.

Turn your inter phone to low volume mode.

Okay.

You're so smart.

If they succeed,

we'll just reap benefits from their operation without doing anything.

If they fail,

they'll be doomed.

Cut the crap.

Just wait and see.

What are these?

Looks like they're some records about Wu Luo.

How spectacular.

Yes.

S-S-So spectacular.

Hush.

Bye.

Oh no.

Why is the switch device not working now?

Ask Little Guy now.

Little Guy, can you hear me?

The switch device here...

It...

What's going on?

She's awake.

Run!

Run!

The situation is not good.

Let's go.

These losers have awoken Wu Luo.

See?

Wu Luo is angered now.

Let's go.

Zhang Xiaosao!

- Little Guy! - Little Guy!

Run!

Run!

Little Guy!

Wake up!

Little Guy!

Zhang Xiaosao.

How come things have turned out to be like this?

Why wasn't inter phone on the low volume mode?

Why are they alerted?

Zhang Xiaosao!

Zhang Xiaosao!

- Zhang Xiaosao! - Zhang Xiaosao!

What's wrong?

Hello?

Zhang Xiaosao.

You're awake.

How is Little Guy?

His vital signs are stable now.

Let's go.

W-W-When I was little, everyone bullied me.

O-O-Only you protected me.

With you,

I'm not afraid.

That was when I was young.

You were so little when you were young.

Now it's your turn to protect me.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Zhang Xiaosao.

[The Shame of Phoenix City]

Scourge!

Jinx!

Come out!

Come out!

Come out!

You scourge!

What's going on?

Do you want us to die?

Wu Luo woke up earlier than expected

because of our operation.

She may attack Phoenix City at any time.

Mulan and her companions

must have incited the media

to smear us.

Brat.

Look at what you've done.

I told you not to go anywhere but you didn't listen.

Where are you fooling around again?

[Aunt Fatty's Car Repair Shop] [Jinx]

Come back now!

[Get lost]

No.

We have to go too.

We can't let them get ahead of us.

Even a pathetic loser wants to be a City Guard now.

If they succeed,

we'll just reap benefits from their action and we don't need to do anything.

See?

Wu Luo has been angered.

- Hey, little guy! - Little Guy!

[Weizhidu Midnight Diner]

Zhang Xiaosao,

no one is born to be a hero.

No matter who you are,

we are here for you.

Old man,

You cheated the wrong person.

Look at what you're selling!

Give me the money.

Hold on.

How much did he cheat you?

None of your business.

Only a busybody like you

lets him act like an old-timer.

Go away.

No, Dad.

This one is really amazing.

Stay out of it.

No refund,

no leaving.

Listen.

How disrespectful!

Kid,

look carefully.

I'll teach you one last time.

[Weizhidu Midnight Diner]

No more, no more.

Wow.

I won't do it again.

Get out.

I remember your name is

Zhang Xiaosao.

I've been watching you for a long time,

especially Zhang Xiaosao.

I noticed you

since the Phoenix City Awards.

You do have some talent,

but not much.

And you have some courage,

but it's still not enough.

To fulfill the mission of the City Defender,

We need not only stronger weapons,

but to fully unlock our inner potential.

Don't you wanna ask me what to do?

Sir,

what should we do?

Then you've asked the right person.

Why does he act like an NPC?

Sir,

why did you choose this abandoned factory

as the base?

An abandoned factory?

It's Phoenix City's top mechanical factory.

And I'm the general engineer here.

I spent my entire youth here,

trained a group of skilled technicians,

and developed many products,

I've been with the factory

from its inception to its peak.

I get it.

So all this junk is just a cover,

and the real factory is hidden inside.

Secret passage,

fingerprint lock,

and password door,

where are they?

During Wu Luo's last attack on Phoenix City,

many of my colleagues died,

including my lover.

The factory where I poured my whole life,

was also reduced to nothing.

Having lost everything, I felt disheartened.

And even lost my faith in life.

What happened next?

Later, I still harbored deep resentment.

I joined the City Guards,

became a weapon manufacturing expert,

and drove Wu Luo away.

I see.

Sir,

My apologies!

Just call me Lai Daozhang.

So,

you kept a memento?

It's my research subject.

I know Wu Luo will come back one day.

All these years,

I've searched the documents,

studied their characteristics and weaknesses

to create a weapon to defeat Wu Luo.

But due to the scarcity of information,

progress has been slow.

Sound?

That's right.

It's the sound.

Sound?

Spell things out.

When Wu Luo chased us in the cave,

The walkie-talkie blared with high-pitched static.

It is extremely sensitive to that noise.

I'm pretty sure.

It's all about the voice.

Look, sir!

When Wu Luo comes,

[Training begins.]

Most of the time you'll be facing

attacks from the little monsters.

So mastering the skills and tactics

to deal with the monsters is important.

[Pfft]

[Comprehensive Training Assessment]

What should we do with Wu Luo?

Wu Luo flies for max 5 minutes at a time.

We need to catch it when it's on the ground.

And use our secret weapon to stand a chance.

What secret weapon?

Wow.

I was inspired by what Luo Yan said,

and realized that

Wu Luo and the monsters' nervous systems

seem to have a natural reaction

to a certain frequency of sound waves.

After my experiments,

[Weapon Settings Interface]

I developed this ultrasonic emitter,

which is the secret weapon

I mentioned a few days ago.

It can be used to attack monster and Wu Luo.

Can this

hurt Wu Luo?

For the little monsters,

this kind of sound wave is fatal.

But for Wu Luo,

this sound wave can only slow it down.

But

we can install a bunch of these weapons

around Phoenix City

so that Wu Luo won't dare to come near.

That's great.

With this weapon,

Phoenix City is like having a protective shield.

But yeah,

it's just the basic version right now.

The machine still has many issues to fix.

In the process of developing a sonic weapon,

I found that the little monsters

are attracted by sound waves of another frequency.

Based on this,

I've also developed a lure device

that could be useful in the future.

Come on, everyone.

Thanks for your hard work.

If it weren't for you,

my sonic weapon is still nowhere to be found.

Not at all!

It's your skills that really blew us away.

No, no, you flatter me.

What's wrong?

Are you thinking about little guy?

Yes.

Every ordinary person

once had a hero dream.

Failure is not scary.

What's scary is never trying.

The glory of life isn't in never falling,

but in getting back up every time you fall.

This time,

I'll make sure it never comes back.

Okay.

Count me in.

And me.

Little guy.

When did you get discharged?

This afternoon.

He wanted to surprise you.

We've got a surprise for you too.

Drive along this mountain road,

navigate through the obstacles,

and reach the destination 10 kilometers away within five minutes.

Watch out.

There will be flying balls attacking.

These flying balls are set to crazy mode.

[Start]

They'll simulate the attack patterns of the little monsters.

You must dodge the attacks

and and take them down.

If anyone gets hit,

the mission is failed.

This is the lure device.

Here you are.

No problem.

[Tactical Training Assessment A]

Hello?

Is this Zhang Xiaosao?

Yes.

[Operating Room]

Is this Zhang Xiaosao?

Your mother was attacked by a monster.

What?

She's now in emergency treatment at hospital.

Aren't the monsters in the city all dead?

I heard it's because a few city defenders

disturbed Wu Luo,

causing some monsters from Mount Phoenix to come out.

Sir.

You can go back first.

I'm fine.

Luo Yan,

I want to go back to Mount Phoenix.

[Grave of late father, Zhang Xiang]

Late father, Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiaosao,

This is your...

This osmanthus tree

is where Dad and Mom first met.

Dad.

Please bless mom

and make sure the surgery goes well.

[Operating Room]

Is the family here?

She's out.

I'm here.

How's my mom?

The surgery went great.

You rascal.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have stayed away for so long.

If I had been there with you...

You...

If you were with me,

I'd have to protect you.

That might be even worse

Breaking news from Mount Phoenix today

According to the surveillance,

[Moora is active recently. Our city will take action in advance.]

Wu Luo has been highly active recently.

Our city has quickly activated multiple emergency measures.

To ensure public safety.

We've intensified police patrols,

boosted urban defenses,

establish connections with the residents

to provide Wu Luo's activity information.

And enhanced mountain area control

to prevent its entry into the city.

The government will cooperate with the military

and the Geological Survey

to formulate a comprehensive strategy against Moora's threat.

Wu Luo's activities may pose a serious threat to Phoenix City.

Our city will do our best to protect resident's lives and property.

No way.

Are you crazy?

You are not going.

But you said

it was the City Guards who saved you in the first place.

You also told me about the Boy Defender.-The Phoenix City doesn't need you

Stay here.

But...

No means no.

You can't go anywhere.

Excuse me.

I'm here to pay the bill.

Scan here.

That's him?

Yeah,

it's him.

Poor mother.

Her son insisted on being those in the Imperial City.

Well, that's not quite right.

Defending Phoenix City is everyone's responsibility.

They are heroes.

Then why don't you let your son go?

How can there be a hero

who can't even protect his own mom?

[To avoid affecting your personal credit] [Please repay as soon as possible.]

[Dear customer, ] [Your loan for this period has not been repaid on time.]

[South Phoenix Finance]

Hello?

Xiaosao,

How is auntie?

She's out of danger now.

That's great.

By the way,

the teacher said

you don't have to come back for training yet.

Spend more time with Auntie.

Luo Yan.

[All Phoenix. Third People's Hospital.]

For the time being,

I need to take care of my mom in the hospital.

I may be absent

in the next training.

Then...

[Mi Tu. Delivery.]

[Today's training focus: tactical core.] [Teamwork]

[Revenge for Qi]

Boss,

your package.

Okay.

Hey man,

your motorcycle looks graet.

Let me tell you.

I used to play motorcycle when I was young.

But your ride

is really different from what I used to ride.

Why are there so many buttons?

You can't press that.

[Ding]

Is the power this strong?

Well...

What are you doing all this for?

Sorry, boss.

I'm those in the Imperial City.

My motorcycle has undergone some necessary modifications.

Wait.

You're those in the Imperial City,

a hero

a super hero of Phoenix City

Come on.

We must take a photo together.

I gotta show off to my wife when she gets back.

I met those in the Imperial City today.

Come on.

Smile.

One more, please.

Smile.

Looking sharp!

Let's have another one.

Nice.

Excuse me.

I'm here to replace this.

[We need you.]

Okay.

Boy Defender.

It's you.

Oh my God!

I didn't expect that I can

My old prosthesis was worn out,

I'm here to get a new one.

[All Phoenix. Third People's Hospital.]

So after that incident,

you didn't actually retire in glory,

but,

I was just grazed by Wu Luo at the time.

It wasn't that serious.

But the infection spread too much, so...

Are you also those in the Imperial City?

Kind of.

-Kind of? -My mom

was attacked by a monster.

So I haven' t been able to train

these past few days.

What a pity.

You're the real one with regrets.

Boy Defender,

you're the hero in so many people's hearts.

What Boy Defender,

you should call me uncle.

Now you're the real boy defender.

Me?

Yes.

Well...

Have you ever regretted being one of those in the Imperial City?

Of course not.

I gave up one leg,

but I saved so many families from being torn apart

and inspired so many young people like you to stand up.

How could I regret that?

I've got things to do.

Bye.

Report!

Wu Luo has appeared!

We're under attack!

Requesting backup!

Requesting backup!

Besides the armed forces,

those in the Imperial City are also ready for action.

[The city battle is about to begin.]

[Armed team and those in the Imperial City are ready for action.]

At last,

a special person contacted us.

To send a message to all those in the Imperial City.

I met someone yesterday,

[Wu Luo appeared again.]

He told me I was a superhero.

[The armed team and those in the Imperial City are heading to Mount Phoenix.]

But I want everyone to know that

there are no real superheroes in this world.

It's just...

[Wu Luo appeared again.]

That each of us is shining.

[The armed team and those in the Imperial City are heading to Mount Phoenix.]

Our light comes together like a river of silver,

and light up the darkness.

You are all heroes.

Where is the grasshopper?

It's been replaced by an old man now?

Show some respect.

I've had enough of you.

Save your energy for fighting Wu Luo.

That flea is just as I thought-

useless and cowardly,

He's such a good-for-nothing troublemaker.

I'm just being merciful to you.

A bunch of weaklings.

Luo Yan.

Those who look down on you simply ignore you.

But those who dare provoke you?

They do so because they fear you without truly knowing your strength.

Do you understand?

Let's go.

Let's focus on the latest developments

at Mount Phoenix.

We've just received reports

that Wu Luo has appeared again,

destroying two reconnaissance aircraft.

Our main forces are advancing

toward the mountain at full speed.

First on the scene is the Vanguard Unit,

formed by dozens of armed forces.

They are spearheading into the battlefield escorted by armored vehicles.

[Vanguard Unit]

Following closely behind is the Mobile Unit,

composed of volunteer warriors gathered by the City Guards.

They ride in steadfast combat vehicles,

[Mobile Unit]

Charging valiantly through the mountains

to defend our homeland.

Bringing up the rear is the Heavy Armor Unit,

[Heavy Armor Unit]

Equipped with a formidable arsenal of tanks,

attack helicopters, and warships.

Once Wu Luo enters their ambush zone,

his end is all but certain.

We'll keep tracking this battle

and provide live updates as events unfold.

Finally, it's my turn.

Luo Yan!

- Wu Luo's dead! - We won!

It's over!

Excellent!

What happened?

I'll get out and check.

Cover Little Guy.

Got it.

Little Guy!

Hurry!

Hurry up.

Okay.

Why is it frozen?

Right at the most crucial moment!

Go find the nurse.

Get her to fix it!

Hurry!

Nurse! Nurse! Come over here, quick!

The TV is frozen.

Go check it outside.

Zhang Xiaosao.

Zhang Xiaosao!

You little brat.

People out there need you more than I do.

What?

Go now.

Remember,

I don't need a hero.

I want my son back.

I know.

Are you all okay?

Why are you here?

I'm here to fulfill my duty.

Boy.

You've got guts!

Don't let the City Guards down.

Grasshopper,

I'm coming with you.

Count me in.

I'm with you too.

Let's move!

Little Guy,

is the car fixed yet?

The tires need replacing,

and the s… the suspension's also acting up.

Spades!

♫ Cries in the stormy winds resound ♫

♫ Echoing where souls are profound ♫

♫ Fervor burns like raging fire ♫

♫ Striving for dreams we aspire ♫

♫ Passion flares within our chests ♫

♫ Heartbeats drum like stormy crests ♫

♫ Every stride charges ahead ♫

[Ah]

♫ Fearless through dangers we tread ♫

[Oh]

[Ah]

♫ Faith unyielding ♫

♫ Flames never ceasing ♫

♫ No retreating ♫

♫ This time, I cut off retreat and press on ♫

Why aren't you retreating down the mountain in another car?

Our original plan was to act as bait

and lure Wu Luo into the ambush zone.

But the Vanguard Unit took heavy losses

before we could act.

Zhang Xiaosao.

Use the decoy device to draw Wu Luo into the ambush zone.

Then we will meet up

once the car's fixed.

We'll pin it down with sonic weapons

and kill it with the Heavy Armor Unit.

This is our last shot!

Repairs...

will probably take five or six more minutes.

I'll be the bait.

Follow my lead

and provide cover fire.

Go to hell!

Wu Luo's at six o'clock position.

Turn around and attack.

Ready to fire missiles.

Fire!

Husband,

you better watch over our boy.

Don't let him end up like you did!

If Xiaosao doesn't make it...

I'll stop bringing wine to your grave.

Xiaosao.

The car's fixed.

Get Wu Luo into the ambush zone now!

Copy that.

There's something else...

I really like you!

Luo Yan,

I like you too!

The Heavy Armor Unit is in position.

Mr. Zhang,

how are things going over there?

Wu Luo is nearing the ambush zone.

Request activation of sonic weapons.

[Sonic Weapon Interface]

Got it.

[Sonic Weapon Firing]

Wu Luo is under control for now.

Focus fire immediately!

Copy that.

Intensify the barrage now.

The sonic weapon is running out of power.

Wu Luo's armor is too tough.

Mr. Zhang, we need another plan.

Mr. Zhang.

Focus all firepower on Wu Luo's facial features.

That's its weak spot!

Understood.

General.

Target Wu Luo's facial features.

Fire!

[Target Lock: Wu Luo's Facial Features]

Bang!

Boom!

Awesome!

Xiaosao!

Xiaosao!

According to expert research,

the emergence of Wu Luo may resemble

ancient practices of protecting Xuncao,

likely driven by ecological damage

from overfishing.

In response, the government

has enacted a fishing ban

and strict prohibitions on marine pollution

to restore marine ecosystems.

Any violations

during the ban...

Coming!

Will be met with severe penalties.

Little brat.

Luo Yan is a nice girl.

I really like her.

Zhang Xiaosao.

It's for you again.

Coming.

Give me a smile.

Make it natural.

[Hot-Blooded Youth: Our New Hero]

You're a celebrity in Phoenix City now.

Right?

I have to entertain a crowd every day.

Everyone's here to see him.

They're just coming here

to show gratitude!

Though…

Exactly.

It is a bit much.

Now I finally understand

why the Boy Defender retired.

It's exhausting!

Speaking of the Boy Defender,

where did he go?

Is he still in Phoenix City?

He didn't even show up during the battle.

He's no ordinary man.

He appears and disappears like a phantom.

The Boy Defender was never just one person.

Every young warrior

has faced their own dragons

in the journey of growing up.

I appeared only to help awaken

the power that has always been inside you.
