Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared on the street, the soldiers of the purging team were obviously stunned.

The man was wearing a raincoat, and his face could not be seen in the darkness, nor what was hidden under the raincoat.

The leader of the squad immediately became alert, quickly raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the man, and then reported the situation to the centurion.

"Unidentified target was discovered...... Located outside the area of the mission, the guy stood in the way of the escape of the militants. ”

With the rustle of electricity, the centurion's voice soon came from the other end of the communication channel.

"Report his details."

The team leader took a deep breath and reported hurriedly.

"I can't see it here, he's wearing a raincoat...... This guy feels something wrong with me. ”

The centurion calmly ordered: "Maybe an accomplice of the militants, take him down with him." ”

They have already captured some prisoners, but not enough.

According to the confessions of those little minions, the one who jumped out of the window and escaped was their leader.

This is the so-called discipleship of the Enlightenment.

"Yes."

The team leader who hung up the communication waved his right fist, and the team quickly split into two teams, one of which continued to push forward along the side of the street, while the other aimed at the raincoat-clad figure with a rifle and approached him.

For some reason, the team leader felt his heart beating hard, and that instinctive sense of panic was as if he was being targeted by some dangerous xenomorph.

Ten meters away!

Seeing that the five people who were separated were about to come into contact with the guy who was standing still, the mutation happened at this moment.

"Da ——!"

Tongues of fire suddenly burst out of the shadows under the raincoat, and a trail of light rushed to the face, killing the five-person team by surprise.

At a distance of less than ten meters, there was no time to dodge with such dense firepower, and there was no place to dodge and move!

Fortunately, the bulletproof lining of the exoskeleton blocked the rain of bullets, and although everyone was embarrassed by this shuttle, they were not hit by the vital point, and decisively pulled the trigger to shoot back.

It was also between the lightning and the fire that the figure in the raincoat suddenly moved.

The two scimitars were like the front feet of a praying mantis, flashing white light in the rain, and with a "buzz" sound, they hit the side of the five-person team.

The soldier standing on the left didn't have time to react before he watched as the sharp blade split through the raindrops hanging from the tactical eyepiece.

"Bell ——!"

The alloy blade slashed into the helmet, and the bulletproof lining that could defend against bullets was not a slightly thicker plank in front of the strength of a level 30 agility player.

Coupled with the exoskeleton's drive, this blow instantly unleashed tons of damage.

Blood splattered from the shattered helmet, and the man who was slashed instantly lost consciousness.

Releasing the hand holding the handle of the knife, the laughing smith directly discarded the scimitar embedded in the helmet and held the other handle in his left hand, changing from holding two knives to holding two knives.

Looking at their teammates, who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, the other four soldiers were dumbfounded, and before they could even figure out what was going on, they watched the lightning-fast figure kill in front of them again.

"Stop him—" The soldier who reacted first was the first to hoist his gun and fire at close range.

However, before his words fell, the whirlwind of sword light had already swept towards his neck.

"Die!"

As soon as the words of the curse reached his ears, his vision rose into the air with the severed head, rolling in the air.

The first body had just fallen to the ground, and the team of five had already lost two of them!

With a high fighting intent burning in his eyes, the killing of the laughing master did not stop.

Quickly dodging the gunfire that almost reached his face, the whirlwind of swords turned around and slashed at the soldier's shin in the face of the sudden gunfire.

"Ahh

The blade is embedded in the bulletproof armor of the exoskeleton leggings.

It's not so much a cut in, but a smash in it!

The soldier fell to one knee with a cry of pain, his knee pads hitting the rain on the ground.

The laughing man lifted the back of his neck with his left hand, held it in front of him like a shield, and slammed into his next prey with his gun raised.

Knocked in the back of a friendly soldier, the soldier stumbled with a gun and fell backwards unbalanced.

The left hand threw away the soldier with the broken leg, and the laughing man chased after him with an arrow, while his right hand reached for the submachine gun that hung from his waist with half a magazine remaining, and the muzzle of the gun rested like a dagger against the jaw of the soldier who had fallen backwards.

"The fourth!"

As the hideous voice blurted out, Sen Ran's muzzle erupted with tongues of fire.

The explosion of "da-da-da" pierced through the soft parts of the exoskeleton, and the soldier's head exploded into a pulp, and his body twitched like an electric shock in the flickering sparks, and then fell heavily on the rain-soaked street.

Watching his teammates die in succession, the only remaining soldier was dumbfounded.

Seeing that the brim of the raincoat was facing the opposite side, he couldn't even raise the courage to face the man, and only shouted in horror, "Monster!" Then he turned around and fled into the rain curtain as if he was dead.

Obviously, not all Willantes are not afraid of death.

Especially in the face of such unreasonable "monsters".

Looking at the incredibly fast afterimage and the brothers who all fell in a few breaths, the pupils of the team leader had shrunk to a point, and he was so shocked and angry in his heart that he didn't even bother to scold the guy who escaped from the battle.

"So fast!"

Although he is also an Awakened One, he has no confidence in his heart to win at all in such a terrifying power and speed at such a distance.

The soldier who had his calf severed was not dead, but stared at the man in the raincoat with wide eyes, wheezing in the rain.

The laughing master held his submachine gun to his head as a hostage to prevent the five men not far away from firing at him, and then ripped off the rifle that hung from his shoulder.

"Do you want to fight?"

As he spoke, he turned his face sideways to look at the remaining five people standing on the side of the street.

The distance between the two sides was almost twenty meters, and this distance was not far or close to him.

The squad leader swallowed, the barrel of the gun with the silencer trembling slightly.

This guy is a monster......

He lowered his voice and called the sniper, but he didn't hear any response, and his heart sank.

These people came prepared!

The snipers they ambushed nearby had already met with accidents......

“…… Who are you? In order to delay some time, the squad leader lowered his voice.

Originally, he was standing here to delay time, but when he saw that the other side was frightened and didn't dare to move, he was not in a hurry to fight, so he decided to tease this guy.

"Disciples of the Enlightenment."

The squad leader's pupils shrank slightly.

"Enlightenment will ......"

It's the name again!

Rubbing his index finger against the trigger, he swallowed nervously, lowered his voice and continued to ask.

“…… What the hell do you want to do? ”

"You don't need to know......" The laugher also lowered his voice, as if he were a real villain.

The air between the two sides seemed to freeze, and for a moment there was a stalemate.

About two minutes passed.

The squad leader kept swallowing his saliva, secretly anxious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

What scared him was not exactly the man standing in front of him, but also the teammates who were trampled under the feet of this guy, and the other gun hidden in the shadows.

The sniper was missing, and he was almost certain that the gun had blocked the street.

His superiors had already sent a team of ten to the sniper site to search, and he did not dare to risk his own life and that of his brothers until the results were achieved.

Just then, the centurion's voice came from the communication channel.

“…… Reinforcements are coming, hold on a little longer on your side. ”

The squad leader said nervously.

"Understood...... What about the escaped target? ”

After a brief rustle of electricity, the centurion continued.

"Ignore him for the time being, and control the target in front of you first. As for the guy who ran away, his identity has been determined...... He couldn't run away. ”

Hearing this, the team leader finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Since he didn't have to worry about the guy who ran away, he didn't have to fight with the person in front of him.

Just keep an eye on the people and wait for reinforcements to arrive!

The group stood in the rain and confronted each other, letting the rain rain fall on the raincoat and the armor of the exoskeleton.

At this moment, the sound of cars was faintly heard in the wind blowing along the street.

At the same time, the laughing craftsman standing in the rain curtain also heard a voice in the communication channel.

“…… There are two pieces of bad news, which do you want to hear first? ”

Hearing this, the laughing man rolled his eyes.

"Lao Tzu is pretending to be forced, can you not fart, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Didn't sell it again, the sand sculpture continued.

"The troops surrounding the radio station opened fire on the civilians, and the desert corps was killed and wounded, but fortunately there was no trace left, and our men managed to withdraw...... In addition, the residents of Eternal Night Harbor seem to have suffered a lot of casualties, and when I saw the explosion, I went to the line to take a look and listen to the person who died. ”

The laughing artist smashed his tongue in surprise.

The Southern Legion was still ruthless enough to force it to really fire at its own civilians.

“…… Are these two pieces of bad news? ”

The sand sculpture continued in the communication channel.

"Count one, the other is about you. There are two armored vehicles coming in your direction, about two or three minutes by car, I saw it from the drone. ”

After a pause, he added.

"Of course, I'm almost done here, you feel free."

"Roger."

After a brief reply, the laughing man's index finger tapped on his helmet and hung up the communication.

Looking at the five people waiting in the distance, he thought for a while, had an idea in his heart, and opened his mouth to call.

"Hey."

The squad leader standing opposite was instantly nervous, and the index finger on the trigger was like a taut string.

"What for?"

The Laugher grinned.

"I spared your life, what's your name?"

Annoyance flashed in the squad leader's eyes, but thinking that reinforcements were coming, there was no need to provoke this monster at this time, so he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and lowered his voice.

"Toby."

"Toby...... Remember," the laugher nodded, and said in a meaningful tone, "Goodbye, we'll see you later." ”

With that, he kicked the lame guy under his feet aside.

Toby was stunned for a moment, and he hadn't come back to his senses before he realized what this sentence meant later.

And at this moment, a dazzling flame suddenly burst from under the raincoat, and the murderous monster exploded into a ball of fire in front of everyone's eyes!

The blazing flames ignited the exoskeleton's battery, and just half a second after the first explosion sounded, the second explosion rang out, and the thick smoke spread instantly.

Burning sparks flew like fireworks, illuminating the dark streets.

In the face of this sudden shock, Toby was dumbfounded.

Suicide?!

Awakened by the screams coming from the smoke, he quickly brushed aside the muzzle of his gun and rushed forward with a few arrows, dragging his teammates who were still in the fire out of the smoke.

The guy still has a scimitar embedded in his calf, and the bulletproof lining on his chest is lit, and he can't shoot it no matter how he shoots.

Gritting his teeth, Toby removed the bulletproof lining from his chest and threw it into a sea of smoke boiling not far away.

It was at this moment that two reinforced armored vehicles finally arrived from the other side of the street.

The vehicle came to a halt on the side of the road, and a Willant soldier with a rifle jumped out of the car and strode in front of Toby.

"We are the reconnaissance team of the 400,000th team, and we heard that reinforcements were needed here, so we rushed over from the port area."

Glancing at Toby and the wounded man next to him, the soldier shrugged.

"Looks like your battle is over."

Reaching for the scimitar embedded in his teammate's calf, Toby saw that it seemed to have been cut into the bone, but eventually gave up on pulling it out and decided to leave the job to a professional surgeon.

It's tragic.

didn't hang the lottery on the battlefield, fell in front of his house and broke his leg, now I'm afraid I have to leave the army early.

Toby stood up from the ground.

"It's over, you're a step too late."

The soldier of the reconnaissance team grinned.

"Aren't you the same, I've heard that a very important person has died."

Toby nodded silently.

"Commander."

The point is not the rank of commander, but the fact that this guy is the secretary of the head of the General Affairs Department of the theater of operations.

At this moment, Toby did not know that his allies had opened fire on civilians.

If he knew, he probably wouldn't have made a fuss about such a trivial matter as "a thousand commanders died".

The soldier of the reconnaissance team on the opposite side gently smacked his tongue and looked at the fire to the side.

"Kill a Commander...... The gang seems to be tired of it. ”

The billowing smoke was quickly diluted by the rain, but the burning flame could not be extinguished, and burned tenaciously in the more and more pouring rain.

By the time the pungent smoke cleared, only a charcoal-shaped torso remained in the street.

Toby swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pressed his index finger against his helmet, and reported to his superiors.

"We lost three of them...... Seriously injured one. ”

"The other party claims to be a disciple of the Enlightenment Society, and is suspected to be an awakened person above the second stage...... No, maybe it's three or four, it's not like the speed that can be achieved with an exoskeleton alone. ”

There was a moment of silence in the communication channel, and his centurion asked in a deep voice.

“…… What about people? Caught it? ”

Toby whispered.

"He cut himself off...... And the corpse was burned only with charcoal. ”

The communication channel was silent again for a long time, and the centurion said succinctly.

"Got it, let's get the team."

Toby hurriedly asked.

"What about the escaped target?"

The centurion continued.

"The city defense forces have blocked the port of Evernight, including the blackwater alley that is the focus of the blockade...... The rat couldn't escape. ”

"It's a bit of a mess tonight...... There may be other tasks in a moment. ”

Toby took a deep breath.

"Roger."

……

On the other side, Morse, who was rampage through the alleys, finally found the stronghold of the Enlightenment with his vague memory.

At this moment, he was like a dog that had fallen into the water, soaked with rain all over his body, and faintly emitted the stench of swill.

Ignoring his appearance, he stumbled up and slammed his fist into the closed door.

But the closed door didn't move, and it didn't mean to open it at all.

He panicked and yelled at the closed door.

"Open the door! I've done everything you want me to do...... Although something happened and Tony's guy died, I can't help it, who would have thought that I would run into the regular army of the Legion! ”

Wait a minute......

Why did you run into the regular army of the Legion?!

Hasn't the Enlightenment already leveled the top? Otherwise, how could he have made a big fuss at Tony's casino...... The garrison alone was enough to pinch him to death, and he didn't even need the regular army to do it.

Unless......

It's not that the garrison doesn't want to come, but that they have encountered some accidents.

The guy who threw an olive branch at him and was killed by him is the real big man.

This explains why Tony's guy would rather die at his own hands than run away.

But......

What about the previous events?

The forces of the Enlightenment had clearly extricated him from Katnod prison.

Morse's brain became more and more confused, his eyebrows ached faintly, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

That damn hallucination reappeared.

His gums bit out the blood, and he slammed his head hard, banishing the illusion out of his mind.

What the hell went wrong?!

He had already faintly sensed something.

Perhaps this is not a collaboration between the Legion and the Enlightenment at all, but a secret wrestling between the Legion and the Alliance.

As for him......

It's just that I happened to be involved, and I had some misunderstandings because of my own feelings.

He is not a maggot living in a sewer at all, but a chrysalis living in a cocoon.

With all his strength and all his might, he finally bit a hole in the solid cocoon, but the light that shone into the cocoon blinded his eyes.

Which side is an illusion? Which side is reality?

"! Open the door! ”

Morse roared hoarsely, slamming the door with his almost unconscious arm, nearly smashing the closed door.

"Haven't you already acknowledged me? Don't...... Isn't Lao Tzu a member of the Enlightenment? ”

The moment I heard the word Enlightenment, there was finally a movement inside the door.

There was a glint of hope in Morse's eyes, especially when he saw the door open.

However, in the next second, the light of hope froze in the center of his pupils with a short gunshot.

"Bang ——!"

A 9mm bullet pierced his skull, and Morse fell to the ground without saying a word.

Looking at the corpse soaked in the rain, the gloomy man cursed angrily and put away the smoking pistol.

"It's noisy...... What the hell, don't you think your voice is loud enough?! ”

This bunch of garbage......

Even if you put your life on the line, you have to use the name of the Enlightenment Society to make noise and shout everywhere.

Now it's all right.

They just want to be low-key, and they can't be low-key!

He couldn't count how many black cauldrons he had on his head, and he wanted to skin this fool alive!

Glancing down the street and seeing that no one else was there, the man breathed a sigh of relief, crouched down and grabbed the corpse's feet, ready to drag the dead dog into the house and dispose of it.

And at the moment when he buried his head, a breaking sound hit the top of his head.

There was no time to react, and he fell straight to the ground after being slapped with a smack.

Throwing away the stick in his hand, the sand sculpture glanced at Morse's corpse and sighed softly.

He had read the story of this guy in Taran's post, and although he was a complete villain, a madman with a not very normal brain, he was also a guy with dreams.

I heard that in his dream, he changed Blackwater Alley to become the Night City of the Wasteland, a low-profile version of the Bougerra Free State.

If he was born elsewhere and received a good education, he might be able to make a difference with this guy's ability, even if not to become the emperor of the underground world.

However, this is the port of eternal night ruled by the Wilantes.

It's Blackwater Alley, where aliens were born and rotted.

"You're going to be a legend in Blackwater Alley, and the people here will remember your name for a long time...... There's only so much I can do for you, rest in peace, buddy for the first time. ”

With these words, the sand sculpture dragged his body and the unconscious man into the stronghold of the True Enlightenment Society.

After tonight, this guy's wanted notice will probably be posted all over the streets of Blackwater Lane, and when the troubles in the northwest city are settled, the Willant will go crazy looking for him.

They won't succeed, though.

He will disappear into this settlement like the world has completely disappeared, becoming a legend that circulates in the streets and alleys of Blackwater Lane, and a legend in the eyes of countless young men......

With secrets that he may or may not know.
