We agreed on the twelve zodiac animals, but you've transformed into the Monkey King?

South of China, at a crossroads.

The wind swirled around here and went around.

Ah Jiu and five hundred laborers were blocked at the street corner. Twenty meters ahead was a sandbag position, half a person's height, erected by the military police. Two water-cooled Maxim heavy machine guns had already pulled their heavy bolts.

The military police officer stood behind the sandbags, drew his command sword, and raised it high into the sky.

Boss Zhang gave the order: today, there must be bloodshed here.

"Click—whoosh!"

Standing at the forefront of the laborers, Ajiu stared at the brass ammunition belt that was already locked onto the machine gun.

His eyelids twitched violently. His intuition, honed from years of vying for territory along the Huangpu River, told him: don't wait for that hand to come down!

"Machine guns loaded! Scatter! Get into the alley!!!"

Ah Jiu let out a wild roar. Then, with great ferocity, he kicked over a cart parked on the side of the street.

The huge wooden cart overturned with a crash, lying across the middle of the street and barely blocking the first wave of sight.

"Fire!!!"

The officer's arm came crashing down!

"Da da da da da—!"

A deafening metallic storm shattered the tranquility of the long street.

A half-meter-long tongue of fire shot out from the machine gun muzzle. The wooden cart that was being used as cover was torn apart by the immense kinetic energy of the heavy machine gun, and it didn't even last a second before being blasted into flying wood chips.

Thanks to Ah Jiu's roar, which came two seconds earlier, most of the laborers instinctively rushed towards the dead ends on either side.

But it was too late.

The dozen or so laborers who were running at the very back didn't even have time to scream before they were swept in half by a barrage of bullets.

Like wheat straw during the autumn harvest.

Blood mist exploded in mid-air, and severed limbs mixed with warm internal organs covered the long bluestone street.

Ah Jiu leaned against the trembling, crumbling wall, a severed piece of intestine mixed with hot, bloody splattering onto his face.

He watched helplessly as his young brothers, who usually shared his hardships of eating cold steamed buns and carrying heavy loads, were riddled with bullets.

It twitched twice in the pool of blood, and then remained still.

"ah--!!!"

Ah Jiu's eyes were bloodshot, and her ten fingers dug deep into the cracks in the wall.

The officer looked at the mangled flesh scattered on the ground, his eyes showing no emotion: "Suppress the machine gun at the alley entrance."

The two Maxim guns quickly turned around and began to relentlessly suppress the brick wall at the entrance of the alley with their firepower.

Bricks flew through the air as bullets gnawed at them, and plaster fell to the ground in a flurry.

A stray bullet grazed the corner of the wall, ripped open A-Jiu's forehead, and hot, bloody blood flowed down her brow bone, completely obscuring her eyes.

In just a few more seconds, the already crumbling earthen wall will be completely breached.

The more than four hundred brothers hiding behind the wall will all be riddled with bullets.

There was no way to retreat, and no solution to be found.

Ah Jiu slid helplessly to her knees in the mud and closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Fifth Master."

"boom--!!!"

At the end of the long street, a dozen blinding high beams, like swords cleaving through hell, fiercely tore through the thick smoke!

A black Ford with the police station's license plate number one roared with a near-self-destructive rage, like a furious steel monster, and plunged straight into this hellish scene!

"A car! Fire! Smash it!!!"

With his line of sight obstructed, the machine gunner, guided by the roar of the engine, suddenly turned his gun around and gripped the trigger tightly!

"Da da da da da da—!!!"

The ultimate meat grinder of the industrial age and the defensive armor built by capital have met their most brutal physical collision at this moment!

The water inside the water-cooled jacket boiled again, and the 7.92mm caliber pointed full-power rifle bullets, with a terrifying rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, transformed into a dark red metallic whip, lashing fiercely at the frontal armor of the Ford vehicle!

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!"

The sound of steel tearing and grinding echoed through the long street! The 8mm thick homogeneous marine steel plates that had been urgently approved and installed by Jardine Matheson exploded into a shower of blinding sparks!

The black premium paint vaporized directly under the extreme heat and friction of the bullet, and the thick steel plate was smashed into dents as deep as half a centimeter by the continuous kinetic energy.

Even through the steel plate, the bullet still caused the two-and-a-half-ton vehicle to tremble violently.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Ah—! Help!!!"

Two ricochets struck the windshield. The one-inch-thick, multi-layered laminated bulletproof glass emitted a dull thud, and the outer layer shattered instantly.

The Chinese detective in the driver's seat was terrified. He took his hands off the steering wheel and shrank under the center console.

The heavy car traveling at 60 kilometers per hour suddenly lost control, skidding wildly on the wet and slippery bluestone slabs, and was about to overturn into the drainage ditch next to it!

"Useless trash! Get out of here!"

Meng Huai, in the passenger seat, lunged forward towards the center console. Without even changing his seat, with half his body dangling in the air, he gripped the steering wheel with his left hand and jerked it sharply to the right!

"Detective, hold on tight!"

With a roar, Meng Huai stepped over the center console with his right foot and forcefully slammed the accelerator to the floor!

"boom--!!!"

The modified V8 engine roared to life!

Under Meng Huai's forceful pull, the steel monster, which was about to go out of control, was forced to straighten its front end and, in a suicidal manner, crashed straight into the sandbag position, facing the half-meter-long machine gun fire!

"You drove well," Wen Xiao nodded.

The Maxim's metal storm was simply too dense. Under continuous bombardment, the armor plates began to experience metal fatigue, and several bullets slipped into the vehicle through gaps in the chassis.

"Pfft—" The fragile water tank was punctured, and boiling coolant at over 100 degrees Celsius mixed with pungent white smoke gushed out like a fountain.

"It can't hold on any longer! The chassis is going to break!"

Immediately afterwards, the thick solid rubber tire on the right front side was sheared in half by a stray bullet! The entire vehicle instantly lost its balance, and the drive shaft under the vehicle scraped against the bluestone slab, leaving a long trail of dazzling sparks.

The front of the car suddenly swung, and the entire vehicle veered sideways down the long street, exposing its side completely to the machine gun fire in a breathtaking drift.

Amidst the frantic centrifugal force of the car's swaying, Wen Xiao looked through the car window and saw the long street rushing past as it drifted.

It was a cruel picture soaked in blood.

Blood splattered in mid-air, and the broken iron hook gleamed coldly in the dim light.

The streets were filled with the warm scraps of meat from one's own brothers.

[System notification: Risk of loss of control has surged to 48%!]

"Battle, begin!"

hum-

The sound disappeared.

The world suddenly slowed down in that instant.

The gale froze, forcibly freezing the drifting afterimages. The half-meter-long tongue of fire spewed by Maxim transformed into a slowly blooming, dark red iron flower in his gleaming, dark gold vertical pupils.

"Tear—!" The side door, riddled with holes, shattered due to extreme metal fatigue.

Wen Xiao kicked off with his long legs.

"Crack!" The armored vehicle door, weighing dozens of kilograms, detached from the vehicle body and, like a huge black iron shield, slammed into the sandbag position ten meters away with a groan in mid-air.

The machine gunner on the other side turned his gun in terror, and the Maxim gun's fire sent the steel plate flying, punching two fist-sized, transparent holes in it.

Just as the fire pierced through the steel plate, the machine gunner's wildly trembling pupils suddenly froze.

To their horror, they discovered that, without anyone noticing, a man had defied the laws of physics and silently tumbled upside down in mid-air amidst the billowing smoke.

Heaven and earth are upside down.

The weightless, jet-black wool coat rolled wildly downwards, like a black lotus blooming upside down.

Death spread its crow wings.

"Bang! Bang!"

Gunfire flashed. Two bullets, like a needle threaded through a string, accurately struck the two bullet holes in the rollover door, tracing their trajectory backwards from where the Maxim bullets came from!

"Pfft! Pfft!" Behind the shield, two machine gunners' foreheads exploded with dazzling blood, their skulls being blown off by the enormous kinetic energy.

The roaring street fell silent instantly.

"Thump!"

Wen Xiao rolled in mid-air and landed smoothly.

He stood upright amidst the dust and smoke, the hem of his coat hanging down into the blood.

Dozens of police cars then arrived with sirens blaring. Meng Huai and the others jumped out of the cars in shock, staring at the figure standing in the middle of the street, their hands so clenched they forgot to release the safety on their guns.

Wen Xiao turned around. He stepped on the golden bullet casings scattered on the ground, on the flesh and blood of his brothers. He walked quietly, step by step, to the military police officer who had completely collapsed to the ground.

The wind blew by.

Without warning, he pulled out the scalding hot Browning and shoved the muzzle into the officer's wide-open mouth with extreme brutality.

With a "crack," it shattered two of his front teeth.

Amidst the officer's agonizing sobs, his mouth stained with blood, Wen Xiao looked down at him:

"The blood of my dozen or so brothers is still hot. This muddy street, I'll use the skin of your entire clan to cover it up, see if that's enough?"
