Meanwhile, they heard the shouts of Mecha Pilot 'Axe' Lu Hong from the intercom, "Horn, Broly is dead! It's the people from the Security Bureau! Ask what's going on! Outside there's an entire heavy-armed company of armed police, 20 type 4 heavy military Mechas, 20 combat robots, and the two exits on the east side have already been blocked off. Ask what's going on with Sanye."
The voice of the gunner, Daron, also came through, "We're in trouble, my situation here is almost the same, there's also a heavy-armed company, all three exits have been blocked, and the defense system that Bolosi had set up with Katyusha didn't issue any warning at all. I can't hold on anymore, I must retreat now, Horn—"
Just at that moment, another burst of intense gunfire sounded outside, the intercom crackled, and then Daron's voice was heard no more.
Horn knew Daron had died, and his face involuntarily paled.
As he sprinted rapidly, he didn't hesitate to activate the quantum communication system on his smart terminal to contact the Sanye mentioned by 'Axe' Lu Hong.
This was their current protector, one of the big bosses of the Loyalty Gang, one of the most powerful underworld leaders of the lower district, not only commanding several thousand implanted Martial Artists but also possessing many powerful weapons, essentially a warlord of the underground world.
Theoretically, these armed police should have passed through Sanye's territory regardless of which direction they came from but today, there had been no warning from Sanye's side at all.
However, when Horn got through to Sanye, the response was a torrent of curses, "What warning, what sign? I also wish someone had warned me! A madman has come from the Security Bureau, seems to be some kind of Major General, too crazy."
Just now, they first took control of all our holographic cameras and motion-sensing devices on Xinglong Street, then wiped out all our brothers at the Xinglong Hall! More than 170 people, all wiped out, understand? I don't have the capacity to worry about you right now. There was no warning at all."
Horn's heart sank upon hearing this.
The so-called Xinglong Street was actually a group of caves, dug out inside a satellite by the early Earth Federation, equipped with life-support systems, forming an underground street.
'Sanye' had a division there, with over 200 people, nearly all were lower-ranking and mid-ranking implanted Martial Artists.
They controlled this Xinglong Street, making its population of over forty thousand people dependent on them.
From Sanye's words, it seemed that more than half of these 200 people had just died.

Horn instantly understood the situation, the Federal Security Bureau not only launched a large-scale attack on them but also swept through Sanye's Xinglong Hall as a side operation.
Sanye had some internal connections within the Federal Security Bureau that, for some unknown reason, had failed to give any warning to Sanye.
With a grim expression, Horn immediately quickened his pace, heading in the opposite direction to the south.
He felt a huge net closing in around him, but fortunately, they had prepared an escape route.
This was a secret cave dug out by a mechanic, unknown to anyone but their team.
Meanwhile, Lin Rui, wearing a full-coverage exoskeleton combat armor, walked out of the bloodstained 'Xinglong Hall' while humming the nursery rhyme 'I am Seaweed.'
At the door, a hover riot-armored vehicle was waiting for him, and Xue Lingxue, fully armed, stood at the doorway, looking at Lin Rui with an unusual expression.
Not just her, but also the surrounding armed police who had participated in the combat, all looked oddly at this comrade who likely suffered from Implant Syndrome.
They had never seen such a madman, who had just barged into Xinglong Hall while singing a nursery rhyme, and with a knife, brutally killed nearly 90 implanted Martial Artists inside.
Unfortunately, Lin Rui was in full armor, so they couldn't admire the face of this godly being.
After Lin Rui stepped onto the armored vehicle, he casually threw the Type-5 combat knife he had been holding, which was standard issue by the Security Bureau, to the side.
"You'll need to dispose of this knife later. I've chopped too many hard things with it, and the blade has sustained some hidden damage. It can't be used anymore."
As Lin Rui said this, he removed the facial armor he was wearing.
He curiously asked Xue Lingxue, "Lingxue, why are you staring at me like that? Your look, why does it seem like you are looking at a crazy person?"
Xue Lingxue thought to herself that she indeed was looking at a madman, suspecting that Lin Rui had developed Armor Integration Syndrome.
However, she immediately gathered her thoughts and said, "Lin Rui, what you're doing is actually against the rules."
"What's against the rules about it?"
As Lin Rui spoke, he took a bottle of soda from the fridge and guzzled it down, looking utterly content.
He then asked in bewilderment, "Weren't they violently resisting the law? Weren't they attacking the police with arms? More than a hundred people shooting at us like mad, it was practically an armed rebellion! We just found a massive amount of drugs and firearms inside—over several tons of a new type of drug, more than 400 illegally modified firearms, and also human trafficking involved. If judged by the laws of the East Asian Republic, even condemning them to death a hundred times would not be enough."
Xue Lingxue was left speechless, yet she knew Lin Rui must have employed some other methods.
It likely involved an unknown drug, stimulating these mentally unstable Armor-Wearing Martial Artists, making all of them fall into a frenzied state, losing their reason.
Thus, the Federal Security Bureau had just surrounded the area, and before they could obtain a search warrant, these Martial Artists from Xinglong Hall started firing crazily at them, and the Security Bureau along with the armed police were forced to retaliate.@@novelbin@@
However, Xue Lingxue couldn't say that, as she had discreetly taken blood samples from those Armor-Wearing Martial Artists for testing, and found no issues.
At least the exoskeleton armor she was wearing didn't detect anything.
Since last time she was framed by Lin Rui, Xue Lingxue had sold her armor and scraped together money for a new suit from Abyss Corporation, reputed for its strong anti-toxin capability, but her armor couldn't detect what drug Lin Rui had used.
If it couldn't be detected, then this operation had no issues, and even if there were issues, it might be due to the criminals using a new type of drug or something else, but it was unrelated to them.
Xue Lingxue, although a bit guilty about Lin Rui's unconventional methods of handling cases, was by no means a fool; she knew such matters must not be mentioned.
Xue Lingxue had also fought in the battle earlier and thought the Armor-Wearing Martial Cultivators of Xinglong Hall deserved their grim fate, better off dead.
At that moment, Lin Rui made a video call and got in touch with Zhang Long.
"General Zhang, how are things on your end? Have the Dead-eye Horn and his men been subdued?"
Though Lin Rui took the operation to encircle Horn very seriously, he felt the 100 plus Armor-Wearing Martial Artists from 'Xinglong Hall' were a juicier target, hence he had assigned the task of capturing Dead-eye Horn to Major General Zhang Long.
