"What are they?" Song 6 looked confused.

"Those human mines, and those people in the cages?" Sun Jack's words silenced everyone.

"Bro." Song 6 Pus placed a hand on Sun Jack's shoulder and said earnestly, "What did we come here to do?"

"To make money."

"Have we made money yet?"

"We have."

"Then let's go!"

Seeing Sun Jack turn and walk silently towards the exit of the underground garage, Song 6 immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed. "That's right, whose money isn't earned?"

"Besides, why are you making decisions for others? Will they thank you? Maybe they like being exploited, like being human mines."

Exiting the garage, Sun Jack stopped again in the heavy rain, feeling something was wrong. Taipai stood beside him.

"Hey, are you two coming or not? Or are you planning to go back on your own?" Si Ai asked, a cigarette dangling from her lips.

Sun Jack looked at himself in the puddle, then at them, and it seemed there was no difference anymore.

Just then, the Priest moved his tall body and walked in front of Sun Jack, staring at him through his lenses. "God told me your heart is struggling."

"Shouldn't I be struggling? I've been here for so long, I really wonder if there's something wrong with me, or with you all."

"Maybe I'll be happier if I throw some things away."

"Some things are easy for you to throw away, but if you want to find them again, it will be difficult, child."

As he spoke, the Priest looked up at the sky. A black dot in the distance was rapidly approaching.

Soon, the object flew closer. It was a cargo drone, which directly dropped a huge package.

The Priest opened his arms and steadily caught the falling object, then strode towards the underground parking lot without hesitation.

He went down, and this was the first time Sun Jack saw his back.

A striking religious symbol appeared before Sun Jack. It was a strange religious symbol formed by the superposition of three ordinary objects: a sickle, a hammer, and a cross.

"I don't know what your choice is, but this is my choice. God said: Anything that is not useful has no value!"

"Fuck me! Priest! Where are you going!!" Song 6 Pus shouted anxiously, half his body sticking out of the car.

In the heavy rain, Sun Jack looked back at Taipai beside him and saw that he had been staring at him the whole time.

"I almost corrupted you, what did I say before I came?"

"You said you were going to disembowel him."

"That's right, Taipai, make a note of this. A person should always keep their word!" Sun Jack quickly turned and rushed into the underground garage.

"Got it."

Seeing this, Song 6, in the car, gasped. "FUCK, what is this kid up to now!! Vajra! What did the Priest just buy!!"

"He took out a loan for an EMP Drone and Barrier Firmware. Looks like he's preparing for a serious fight with the Graffiti Gang."

"What the hell! Have they got Cyberpsychosis?" Song 6PUS slammed on the steering wheel in agitation.

"Hahaha." Si Ai pulled a piece of Chewing Gum from her jacket pocket and popped it into her mouth. "The more I look at that kid, the more I like him. I really want to have my way with him."

"PUS, think of something quickly. If we don't do something soon, I'm afraid we won't get paid from either side."

Meanwhile, Sun Jack had returned to the entrance of the Graffiti Gang's garage, and the Priest stood on the other side.

The Priest nodded with satisfaction at Sun Jack and patted the Garage Door.

The warehouse roller door quickly rolled up. The Graffiti Gang members were busily moving things, transferring the mine. It was clear they had discovered the place was exposed and were moving elsewhere.

The woman with the large Nose Ring and leg blade cybernetics walked over, gun in hand, and tilted her chin slightly at Sun Jack. "Why are you back? Did you forget something?"

"No, a delivery just arrived, and we're bringing it to you." The Priest handed over the package he was holding.

"Delivery?" The woman glanced at the text on the outer packaging of the delivery and turned to look at her companions. "Hey! Volk Technology is delivering again?"

Before anyone else could answer, the Priest directly reached out and tore open the package. Inside was a drone, round and the size of a watermelon.

"Taste this High-Intensity Pulse!!" As the Priest threw the drone into the air with force, he quickly inserted three chips into his body.

The next moment, extremely strong broadband electromagnetic radiation instantly centered on the drone, magnetizing the entire warehouse. All electronic devices within a hundred-meter radius short-circuited, including, of course, everyone's Nervous System and various cybernetics.

Although the Priest had inserted Barrier Chips, Sun Jack, who had few cybernetics, was still faster.

Sun Jack raised the stuck blade and swung it with force, cutting the woman in front of him directly in half.

Immediately after, Sun Jack charged forward, slashing one by one at the fallen gangsters, causing a river of blood.

Just as a gangster with his throat slit staggered to his feet and raised a Pistol at Sun Jack's back, with a loud bang, his entire upper body was torn into chunks of flesh by hundreds of Bullets. It was the Priest's Shotgun.

The two said nothing, just nodded in tacit understanding and continued their slaughter.

With help, the speed increased significantly, and soon most of the Graffiti Gang in the warehouse were dead.

Just then, Taipai walked in, cursing. "You black bastard! Damn it! You didn't warn me about such a large range! I almost flatlined!"

"Didn't I tell you to stay away?" Sun Jack swung his blade, directly severing the data cables from the heads of all the Human Mines.

Just as Sun Jack was about to charge towards the cages, Taipai's monitor suddenly turned red, yanking Sun Jack back.

A cannonball flew past him, missing by a hair's breadth, and directly blew up a car in the distance into a fireball.

The three people present simultaneously looked towards the direction the cannonball was fired from. They saw Haixiao, clad in exoskeleton armor that looked like giant armor, walking out from the debris.

At this moment, he was three meters tall, standing there like a small steel giant. "You think you can take me down with a mere EMP? Dream on! My system has Level 3 interference protection built-in!"

After speaking, he swung his legs and charged towards the two of them.

As he ran, the armor on his back opened up, and smoking guided missiles were fired into the air. They circled around in the sky and shot towards the three of them.

"It's X Hellfire!" The Priest pulled out a silver sphere from his chest and threw it towards the door. The guided missiles in the air quickly followed it.

Although the long-range attack was blocked, the man had already reached Sun Jack. His large external armor was fitted onto him, making him like a giant. He looked down and swung a fist towards Sun Jack.
