The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

.........

Abandoned industrial area in the northern part of Watson District.

At the entrance to the Vortex Gang's stronghold, two gatekeepers, whose bodies were 60% mechanical, were leaning against the mottled factory wall, chatting and joking.

One of the men, whose left arm had been modified into a hydraulic prosthesis, chewed on a numbing drug and chuckled as he patted his companion on the shoulder.

"Hehe, I just heard that a cyber psychopath in the Enterprise Center killed 27 NCPDs."

His name was something like James Norris.

The man beside him had a metal prosthetic patch covering half of his face. He toyed with a brand-new pistol between his fingers and said with some disdain, "Tch, in the end, he still died in the violent terrorist mobile adversary."

"Speaking of which, the supply of prosthetic bodies for military technology has recently run out again."

Those capitalists treat us like mad dogs, using us and then throwing us away. It's fucking infuriating.

"What can I do if I'm unhappy?"

We have guns and cybernetic bodies, who are we afraid of?

If they won't give it to us, we'll just have to rob them later.

The two laughed and joked without restraint, completely ignoring the dangers around them.

In their view, this territory was an absolute safe zone, and no one dared to cause trouble on their land.

But just then, the distant roar of an engine suddenly broke the deathly silence of the industrial area.

The sound was violent and sharp, approaching from afar with an overwhelming force.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

The two men immediately stopped laughing and quickly picked up the rifles that were lying to the side, pointing them forward.

However, when they looked over with their six red eyes, a blinding white light, like a shooting star in the dark night, rushed towards the entrance of the stronghold, briefly blinding the two of them.

Damn it!

"Da da da da da!"

In this situation, they don't care whether it's friend or foe; they just need to open fire decisively.

Unfortunately, the bullets only left shallow bullet marks on the armored vehicle of the dangerously driven car.

The few bullets that hit the windshield were also blocked by the thickened bulletproof glass.

Before they could reload, the vehicle-mounted twin heavy machine gun was already roaring into action.

Flames erupted from the front of the car, and a dense hail of bullets instantly engulfed the two men. The crisp sound of metal prosthetics being pierced and the muffled groans of flesh being torn apart mingled with the gunshots. The two Vortex Gang gatekeepers fell motionless in pools of blood on the spot.

"Haha, this is more exciting!" Lu Qianwei was in high spirits.

Without slowing down at all, it stepped on the gas and drove straight through the simple metal barricades of the stronghold. The wheels rolled over the shell casings and bloodstains on the ground and drove straight into the interior of the Vortex Gang camp.

He showed absolutely no mercy when slaughtering these executioners who had killed our people with blood and drugs.

With extensive cybernetic modifications, these people are no longer considered human to him!

"Brother, brother, take it easy!!" David's heart was pounding, and he was gripping the handlebars and trembling.

He never imagined that one day he would play such a big and exciting game!

"Damn it!!"

"Enemy attack! Someone has broken into our territory!"

"Da da da da...!"

"what!"

"It's an armed vehicle! Concentrate your fire on the tires!"

A chaotic scene erupted, filled with shouts and screams, as countless rifle and pistol bullets rained down on the dangerous driver.

However, when faced with a modified race car that sways and drifts from side to side, the few bullets that hit the bulletproof armor and bulletproof glass only scatter sparks and cannot damage the interior of the car in the slightest.

Instead, Lu Qianwei controlled the vehicle-mounted machine gun, firing wildly at the crowd. Bullets flew everywhere, and people or buildings hit were mercilessly blown to pieces.

Damn it!

"Fuck***"

"Get the heavy weapons now! Blow up this damn bitch car!"

The vortex gang's underling was trash-talking while his eyes were bloodshot as he frantically fired from behind cover.

After a brief period of chaos, a dozen heavily modified gang leaders finally arrived.

They pulled out rocket launchers and portable grenade launchers from the base's armory.

The crimson prosthetic eyes locked onto the dangerous driver who was recklessly driving around the field, while the shoulder-mounted launchers were all aimed at the vehicle.

"go to hell!"

"Boom—Boom—!"

Two rockets, trailing blinding flames, hurtled toward the armed vehicle. Lu Qianwei smirked, jerked the steering wheel sharply, and slammed the accelerator to the floor.

In a moment of dangerous driving, he executed an extreme drift, the car screeching along the ground as it narrowly avoided a rocket. The shell slammed into the metal factory behind him and exploded, sending metal fragments and sparks flying everywhere.

"Fuck you xxx!" the excited Vortex Gang members roared as they continued their bombardment.

But just as they were reloading their ammunition, another burst of violent engine roar came from the base entrance.

Mann's squad's vehicle suddenly broke through the outer barriers and drove straight into the battlefield!

"Qiwei, you and Lucy hack into their system!"

"Dorio, ram the grenade launcher on the right! Pila, take down the scum carrying the rocket launcher!"

As Mann gave the order, he quickly grabbed a machine gun, pushed open the car door, and rolled over on the spot.

Using the rusted steel frame as a springboard, he pulled the trigger and accurately shot the gangster in the left window, who was about to launch a rocket, in the head.

Qiwei used an internal terminal to disable several threatening leaders of the Vortex Gang.

Pila also put away her madness and joined forces with Dorio to fire at any threatening enemies.

The sudden and powerful support disrupted the Vortex Gang's plans.

With heavy firepower points being destroyed one after another, the previously precarious situation was instantly reversed.

But as the firepower of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun disappeared, the Vortex Gang members who had previously dared not show their faces reappeared and continued to fire!

"Damn it, that bitch's car is out of ammo, brothers, get in!"

"Get that idiot out of the car! I'm going to chop him up and hang him at the highest point of the camp today!"

Royce, whose entire body was covered in black military-grade cybernetic material and whose head was mechanically modified, slowly walked out from the depths of the factory.

We were attacked for no reason. No matter who sent them, these people must die here today!

He raised his hand and gripped the modified kinetic pistol, while a large number of Vortex Gang members surged out from behind him like a tide.

With their numerical advantage and the absence of suppressive fire from the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, Mann's squad was quickly put under pressure.

"David! Tell the boss we need to get out of here now!"

"If we don't leave now, the enemy reinforcements will be back!" Mann quickly informed Lu Qianwei via communications from behind the bunker.

The cyborgs of the Vortex Gang felt almost no pain; when they went berserk, it was a raging storm, with bullets raining down as if they were free.

Who cares if it hits or not, just get into the spirit!

Mann and Dorio fought back desperately, while Pila managed to fire back from behind cover.

Qiwei's cyber intrusion efforts were only able to achieve a stalemate against several enemy hackers.

"Brother, if we don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave!" David cried out, huddled under the car, his head hunched over.

If he didn't lack a driver's license, he would love to drive himself!

I shouldn't have refused Brother Lu's invitation to drive back then (*?????)!

"No, no, no, now's the perfect opportunity to show off, why would I leave?" Lu Qianwei glanced at David and opened the car door with a smile.

"David, look closely, the human body is full of infinite possibilities."

"Mechanical prosthetics are nothing but outdated external products," Lu Qianwei said leisurely.

In his view, David's extraordinary ability to withstand the use of the cutting-edge S.A.S ...

It would be such a waste to waste it on the cesspool of Night City.

"Brother, it's dangerous, don't get out!" David shouted anxiously, and just as he got up, he tried to climb to the driver's side to pull the other person back into the car.

However, to his astonishment, he discovered that the dense barrage of bullets had miraculously vanished after hitting Lu Qianwei's eyes!

There was no explosion, no parrying; it was as if swallowed up by an invisible barrier, leaving not a trace, as if the hail of bullets just now was all an illusion.

At first, the members of the Whirlpool Gang didn't notice anything unusual, but as Lu Qianwei slowly approached step by step, they finally witnessed this incomprehensible scene.

Not only him, but even the Mann squad was stunned by their boss's action, their pupils shrinking in shock.

Everyone at the scene even paused their shooting for a strange, brief moment because of this scene.

However, Lu Qianwei would not show any mercy to these gang members whose hands were stained with blood.

He took out two light blades from the spatial system, his figure suddenly became ethereal, and he instantly teleported to the side of the Vortex Gang members who were clustered on the left.

Before the cyborgs could react, Lu Qianwei immediately unleashed his ultimate attack.

With a flash of sword light, the energy blade easily tore through the armor of the military cybernetic body.

The crisp sound of metal breaking mingled with the muffled thud of blood and flesh splattering. In the blink of an eye, the gang members gathered there were cut into countless pieces, their blood gushing out and staining the concrete ground beneath their feet.

By the time the group came to their senses, Lu Qianwei had already ruthlessly reaped dozens of lives.

"Damn it! What's going on?!"

"Fire! Fire!"

"Kill him!"

"Da da da da da!"

"what--!"
