In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

They said nothing, but simply raised their weapons and began firing indiscriminately at the people in front of them.

"...Help! Help!"

The people of Night City were already on edge, and this further worsening situation threw them into complete disarray.

In an instant, the smoke from the explosion, the flames and flashes of gunfire, the surrounding ruins, and the wails and screams together created a hellish scene.

"Where is the inspection bureau? Where are the people from the inspection bureau?"

Some people barely escaped with their lives, then belatedly remembered this problem. They hurriedly and tremblingly turned on their communication bracelets, dialed numbers, and tried to call for help.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted for the police, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response.

"They're not coming."

Before long, the fully armed thugs found him and sneered at him through their masks.

"You arrogant bastards probably never imagined things would turn out like this, did you?"

"You... the Forsaken?!"

Upon hearing this, the man finally realized who had instigated the riot.

But before he could say anything more, a bullet blew his head open.

The thugs showed no pity whatsoever; on the contrary, their expressions, hidden behind their masks, grew even more fanatical upon witnessing this scene.

Ever since they moved into Night City, they have been treated inferiorly – not only are they ridiculed and discriminated against online, but they are also subjected to all sorts of difficulties in real life because of their status.

Therefore, when Shen Qin and Zhao Yuan's groups contacted them, many people volunteered to participate in the operation, just to vent their anger.

What is happening now makes them very satisfied, and they feel that the humiliation they have suffered during this period is nothing.

"Keep going, brothers! Kill them all!"

"My boss is a jerk, should I just get rid of him?"

They discussed it without any restraint, "His daughter is actually quite pretty, so maybe..."

"Hoohoho!"

"...Do we really want to cooperate with this kind of person?"

The team not only consists of the "Forgotten Ones," but also includes a portion of the "Shark Tooth" combat team.

Hearing the rioters' words, this group of people could hardly bear to listen anymore.

Ultimately, everyone has different stances and is only brought together because of arrangements made by superiors; their hearts are not aligned.

"Then what else can you do?"

The lead combat captain shook his head. "The tasks assigned by the higher-ups... just do them."

"...Yeah, that's true."

With the captain saying so, the dissenting voices gradually subsided.

however.

Just now.

An armor-piercing round whistled through the air and struck the combat captain squarely between the eyebrows!

Snapped.

Blood splattered.

"who!"

Seeing their captain fall to the ground, the others immediately became alert.

Looking up, I saw a large procession marching towards me.

They were easy to identify – the ouroboros emblem on their combat uniforms clearly indicated that this was the "Snake Ring" combat squad.

Or perhaps it's more like a combat battalion? Because it includes not only ordinary soldiers, but also highly skilled combat units like the V-shaped combat team.

"Stop talking nonsense, take them all!"

The girl in the lead, dressed in a modified exoskeleton, wielded a gleaming alloy blade and issued a ruthless order: "Second team, evacuate the residents and rescue the wounded as much as possible!"

Who else could it be but Xia Wuyou?

"Yes!"

The combat team behind them responded in unison and dispersed into formation in an orderly manner.

"...Don't be afraid, the 'Snake Ring' is nothing to be afraid of!"

The leader of the "Forgotten Ones" felt a pang of anxiety, realizing that they seemed to have overlooked a problem.

The Inspection Bureau was held back by their comrades outside the city, but the fighting force in Night City of Sin is not just that one force!

In fact, what are the personnel of the inspection bureau compared to that?

The truly formidable ones are the combat teams under the control of conglomerates like "Shark Tooth" and "Snake Ring"!

In terms of combat power, the armed forces of "Snake Ring" are much stronger than those of "Shark Tooth"—this can be seen from their weapon configuration alone. The weapons and armor of the troops behind Xia Wuyou are far superior to those of the "Shark Tooth" troops!

That's right... Not to mention that "Shark Tooth" itself is in a state of decline, the equipment on these "Forgotten Ones" was also bought by Long Tianding from Xu Shi.

Even if you never imagined that "Dragon City" would collude with "The Forgotten Ones", there is one thing that is worth thinking about.

When he can supply Long Tianding with the so-called "latest equipment" without any burden, he must have an even stronger version at his disposal!

This is a very normal trade practice, not to mention that Xu Shi was already on guard.

屮!

But now is not the time for hindsight—can we really retreat in the current situation? There's no chance.

All we can do is fight to the death.

"I don't care who you are, just die!"

The rioters steeled themselves, raised their guns, and pulled the triggers with maximum power.

only.

The bullets fired couldn't even get close to Xia Wuyou—a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and the bullets fell to the ground in a flurry.

She skillfully avoided all the unavoidable electromagnetic and toxic gases.

It's clear that her "gravity manipulation" has improved considerably over this period of time... In fact, this ability was already very strong, and now that it has reached an even higher level, her combat power is self-evident.

In the blink of an eye, while the thugs were still in shock, she had already approached them like a ghost, and with a flick of her wrist, she threw them into the air, crushing them into human fireworks!

She is very angry now.

Ultimately, she was from the City of Night Sin, and she couldn't bear to see ordinary residents treated like this.

These thugs are courting death!

Under her leadership, the "Snake Ring" combat team quickly quelled the chaos with overwhelming force.

She felt a little better after seeing all the perpetrators dead.

She even felt a little emotional. To be honest, she was now completely loyal to Xu Shi, but that didn't mean she didn't know that guy was a big bad guy.

So, the person who followed him must be a bad guy, right? Who would have thought that one day he would appear as a savior?

Especially after learning that Shen He was the instigator behind the riot, she was even more at a loss for words.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

However, the successive reports of good news coming through the earpiece quickly dispelled her frustration—the riots across the entire area were not something she could manage by herself; there were other people in charge in other areas as well.

As the head of the field operations department, she would naturally receive messages from all sides as soon as possible.

The truth is that suppressing the riots was not as difficult as imagined, even in places where she was not present.

"Go search for the wounded, it's almost safe here..."

Xia Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief.

however.

Just as she was about to turn around...

A short knife slashed through the sky and shot straight toward her!

"!"

Xia Wuyou was taken aback; he couldn't stop it even with gravity manipulation.

She quickly swung her knife to block, sending him flying to the side.

The person who shot the dagger quickly revealed his true identity.

“…It’s you after all.”

When Xia Wuyou saw her, he wasn't too surprised. "I had already guessed that you wouldn't just stay behind the scenes, Miss Nan Qian."

"No, wait, or rather, should I call you... Shen Qin?"

I'm numb... I was planning to write more today, but I suddenly started feeling unwell early yesterday morning. I felt like a sheep, dizzy, feverish, and nauseous. I had to run to the toilet and gag myself several times before I felt a little better. I'm still feeling groggy, and I haven't been able to eat all day... What did I do to deserve this...? I'm going to make some porridge...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 169 I'm waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?

"No, wait, or rather, should I call you... Shen Qin?"

As soon as he said that, Xia Wuyou instinctively wanted to cover his mouth.

It wasn't for any other reason, but rather because she noticed that, without realizing it, her every move seemed to be somewhat out of control, and she felt a little...

At least in the past, it would have been difficult for her to say such playful and teasing words, and even if she did, she wouldn't have said them as smoothly as she does now.

Not to mention there's a secret sense of satisfaction... Xu Shi, it's all your fault, hoo!

"you……"

Shen Qin was startled upon hearing this, wondering to herself how she knew!
