Facing the opponent's melee attack, Sun Jack only managed to avoid being smashed into a pulp by desperately rolling.

Facing this behemoth, Sun Jack wanted to fire artillery shells to bombard him, but found that his prosthetic body couldn't fire at all.

"You want to use combat prosthetics in front of me? Dream on!!" The opponent stomped his feet, and several tons of weight leaped high, smashing towards Sun Jack.

Sun Jack rolled away in a sorry state, grabbed the last grenade from his waist, and threw it. However, the grenade still didn't explode.

"I'm sorry to tell you, anything triggered by electricity, I can hack. You are simply---"

Before he could finish speaking, another grenade was thrown. With a bang, it hit him directly on the mouth, breaking his lip and swelling his lips.

Then he saw the guy using grenades like stones, constantly throwing them at his head.

Haixiao was stunned by this primitive attack method. Moreover, the exoskeleton armor did not protect his head. For a moment, his face was bruised and swollen, and his square, protruding cybernetic eyes were also knocked askew.

"Throwing stones? Are you a monkey?!"

Haixiao cursed, flipped his hands, and two machine guns directly drooped from his exoskeleton, spraying wildly at Sun Jack.

Sun Jack quickly dodged behind Taipai, and the bullets hit Taipai, constantly making clanging sounds.

However, the situation was not optimistic. The powerful impact pushed Taipai backward, almost pressing him against the wall.

Suddenly, a figure rushed forward and violently collided with Haixiao's left leg, trying to trip him. It was the Priest.

"FUCK, you're looking for death! You piece of trash!" Haixiao raised his machine gun and sprayed at the Priest. The metal skin was pierced, revealing the titanium alloy bones underneath.

But even so, the Priest still held on tightly.

At this moment, following Sun Jack's orders, Taipai grabbed one of Haixiao's legs and overloaded his wrists, directly throwing him with force.

Sun Jack flew towards Haixiao's head at extreme speed.

Just as Haixiao was about to raise his hand to spray, Sun Jack pulled out a gold card from his chest with one hand. "I! Have! Money!!"

Taking advantage of the moment of the opponent's daze, Sun Jack had already rushed in front of Haixiao. He smashed with all his might, directly punching Haixiao in the face. "Damn it! Even if I have money, I won't give it to you!!"

Haixiao, who took a solid punch, had his head slightly deformed. With a mouthful of teeth flying out, he, along with his exoskeleton armor, smashed heavily onto the ground with a loud bang.

Sun Jack propped himself up with his hands on his knees, panting heavily. He looked down at himself, seeing no bullet holes, and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Damn it, the insurance didn't work this time."

After catching his breath, Sun Jack first slashed Haixiao's neck, then turned to the Priest and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"

The Priest, whose upper body was almost torn apart, shook his head. "I won't die."

As Sun Jack pulled him up, the Priest staggered into the garage and reached out to disconnect the wires from the Human Mines.

"Wake up! Wake up!!" The Priest continuously shouted at the slumbering Human Mines.

The Human Mines slowly woke up. The first thing they did upon realizing what was happening was to curse at the Priest.

"What did you do! I volunteered!"

"My head is useless anyway, what's wrong with using it as a mining machine!"

Their curses grew nastier until they saw Sun Jack approaching with a cannon barrel, his expression furious. The cursing then subsided considerably.

The Priest silently watched everything, still reaching out and pulling data cables from the Human Mines.

Watching the Human Mines leave, Sun Jack suddenly felt a strong sense of defeat. These people didn't need saving; they had given up on themselves.

"Did we do the wrong thing?"

"No, we didn't. We can't save everyone, but there are always some who shouldn't be abandoned."

The Priest opened the cage and, making a Cross gesture over his chest, carefully picked up an infant whose limbs had been replaced with metal prosthetic limbs.

"I don't know about others, but this child definitely didn't sign a contract with the Graffiti Gang. Neither did that stillborn baby."

Just then, several Human Mines walked over and quietly expressed their thanks, revealing they had been forcibly captured.

The Priest remained expressionless, just as he had been with the Human Mines who had cursed him earlier.

"Jack! Let's go! Someone's coming!" Taipai ran over.

But before they could take a few steps, they were blocked at the entrance. It was another group of thugs covered in tattoos.

Riding in on motorcycles and cars, they saw their gang brothers dead and injured everywhere, and their hideout in disarray. The rage in their eyes almost burned Sun Jack and the others to a crisp.

"Damn it, we're trapped." Sun Jack used Taipai as a cannon rest, preparing to fight these people to the death.

But with an extremely piercing beep, hovercars with flashing blue lights rushed in from the parking lot entrance.

On the sides of the hovercars, besides a large golden-bordered emblem, was the prominent BCPD.

"BCPD Section 6!! Drop your weapons! Shut down your combat prosthetics!"

Piercing warning sounds continuously blared from the hovercars. The cannons next to two of the hovercars were already spinning rapidly.

Finally, under immense pressure, the Graffiti Gang's reinforcements reluctantly put away their weapons.

Seeing this, Sun Jack also lowered the cannon barrel in his hand.

Soon, a group of BCPD officers in blue uniforms, armed, rushed out of the hovercars, aiming their weapons at everyone.

The leader, a big beard wearing plain clothes, had both his left and right legs cybernetically enhanced. His eyes had been modified into quad-pupil compound eyes.

He quickly scanned the battlefield and said, "Everyone present, open your Nervous System port 25. Immediately undergo Net Watch inspection! I need all your system records from the past two hours! Don't even think about playing any tricks! This is an order, not a request!"

"Sir! It's me! Sir!" Song 6PUS, with a grinning face, popped out from somewhere and greeted Big Beard.

"You? Who the hell are you? Where are you from? Do I have to know you? Damn it!" Big Beard looked at him with his hands on his hips, tilting his head.

"Hehehe, it's okay if you don't know me, but I have records, you see. I accepted a commission from H41. We were tracking a Cyberpsychosis case, and it led us all the way here!"

"We ended up discovering this criminal den! As companions of justice, how could we tolerate such a thing existing? So, despite knowing the vast disparity in strength between us and the enemy, we resolutely attacked and took this place! We perfectly completed the BCPD's commission!!"
