He Was Like a God of War... The God of War Fell! (Sad)

"……Our main target this time is the drones in the enemy warehouse."

Inside the room, Shen He, who had gathered everyone, pointed at the map on the table and analyzed it seriously. "So, while this is an assault, remember not to linger in battle."

"Group One and Group Two will be responsible for drawing enemy fire, Group Three will take the opportunity to blast through, and Group Four will provide support. Remember, once we get the goods, we retreat. We aim to finish the fight within thirty minutes."

"Does everyone understand?"

"Leave it to me."

Beside him, a burly, muscular man thumped his chest and replied with a resounding voice.

Lei Song, like Chen Fang, was one of Shen He's capable subordinates.

Compared to Chen Fang, he had joined "Spark" earlier, and in terms of ability, status, and contributions, he was superior to Chen Fang.

Entrusting the mission to him for command was enough to show how much Shen He valued this operation.

However, even so, someone still raised an objection, "Leader Shen, won't this be a bit too hasty? Can we really… do we really have to rush like this?"

What he really wanted to ask was, can we really succeed?

The failure at Huajin Plain was still vivid in their minds. To this day, the bodies of their comrades still hung shamefully in the plaza.

"Serpent Coil" had even sent people to guard it, preventing them from even collecting the bodies.

This had undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to their confidence… not to mention that "Spark" had been declining in Sin City recently.

Knowing that they had suffered a major setback, their former defeated rivals had become active again. Conflicts of various scales were erupting one after another, causing everyone immense suffering.

And due to the shortage of equipment, they had also suffered many defeats.

Even more critical, however, was the perception of Sin City's residents.

In the past, under Shen He's restraint, "Spark" had never oppressed them like other street gangs. They even took the initiative to maintain order.

This earned them widespread praise, and many even called them "Sin City's Guardians."

But the constant media coverage lately – blaming them for the destruction of District Seven, acting as lapdogs for the conglomerate behind the scenes… The TV behind them was still broadcasting it.

As a result, the people of Sin City had also gradually begun to distance themselves from "Spark," no longer as friendly as before.

They couldn't even go to District Seven anymore; the people there wished they could tear "Spark" apart.

On the other hand, "Serpent Coil," by providing aid and rebuilding efforts in the affected areas, had gained considerable goodwill, and even managed to elicit some positive comments from Sin City residents towards the conglomerate.

Offering help in times of need always wins hearts, and even many members within "Spark" had begun to waver.

"What are you talking about?!"

Lei Song's temper flared upon hearing this. He grabbed the questioner by his collar. "Which one of you wasn't saved by Leader Shen? Who are you to question him?"

"It's just one setback, and it's already made you this scared… Have you forgotten what you said when you joined 'Spark'?"

It was clear that his loyalty had not wavered.

Lei Song also tended to attribute the previous failure to Chen Fang – in fact, he had never thought highly of that punk and didn't believe he could represent the standard of "Spark's" elites.

"Lei Song! What are you doing?"

Shen He shouted, "Let him go!"

"…Tch."

Hearing his words, Lei Song reluctantly released his grip.

"Alright, I know everyone might have some concerns."

Shen He quickly stabilized the chaotic scene. "But I believe you all understand that confronting the conglomerate has never been an easy task."

"As I said, this path is fraught with blood and sacrifice, and as pioneers, we cannot become timid and stagnant because of it."

He gently pressed his hands down, a hint of melancholy in his calm expression. "Of course, if anyone wishes to withdraw, I won't stop them."

At these words, everyone paused in unison.

"…I'm sorry, Leader Shen."

The previous questioner suddenly felt a pang of guilt. "I, I just…"

"I'm not blaming you; if anyone is at fault, it's me."

Shen He smiled and shook his head. "But I hope you can still trust me, can you?"

"Mhm…"

Infected by his smile, the dissatisfaction of the others vanished in an instant.

Lei Song's breathing even quickened, as if greatly encouraged.

"Don't worry, I've already contacted Mr. Luo about the equipment, and it will be ready before tonight."

Seeing this, Shen He nodded with satisfaction. "Then, I'll be entrusting this operation to all of you."

"Yes, we guarantee mission completion!"

The next day, District 13, Serpent Coil Factory Warehouse, 16:30

It was time for the factory shift change, the period when security was at its weakest.

Meanwhile, the "Spark" strike team, already disguised, had infiltrated the vicinity.

"Want to grab a drink later?"

The guard who had just finished his shift stretched, removed his helmet, and let out a long sigh.

"Why don't we just go straight to District Six?"

His companion shook his head. "I got an email. A new batch of sex dolls arrived yesterday! Or we could get some Dreamscapes done, this damn job is really wearing me out... Watch out!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a grenade roll to his feet at some point.

Boom—

Explosion flames shot skyward, and the area around the factory immediately descended into chaos.

"Enemy attack! All units, be alert!"

The "Serpent Coil" guards reacted quickly, sounding the alarm and entering combat readiness.

"Roar roar roar! Time to rob!"

The "Spark" members also launched their operation. Lei Song, bare-chested and wielding two light machine guns, unleashed indiscriminate streams of fire.

"Lackeys of the conglomerate, eat Grandpa Lei's bullets!"

His eyes were an unnatural blood red, and his powerful muscles bulged with veins, clearly indicating a state of extreme excitement.

"Ereks" stimulant, when injected, can significantly enhance physical abilities for a short period. It's a prohibited substance strictly banned by the city hall, often used in gang fights within Sin City.

What's more, bullets that hit him caused no damage whatsoever.

With the dual enhancement of the drug and his Ability, he looked like a God of War.

The others followed closely, launching their assault on the factory.

The "Serpent Coil" security forces were quickly drawn to these attackers, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

This frontal diversion also gave the lurking members of Team Three an opportunity to slip in and reach the warehouse doors.

"Titanium explosion-proof door... Boss Lei, it'll take fifteen minutes! It's up to you guys!"

"Speed it up!"

Lei Song didn't waste any words. He raised his machine gun, sending a security guard who got too close flying.

Honestly, if he could have stayed longer, he was confident he could have killed all these conglomerate dogs.

But Leader Shen had explicitly told him not to engage in prolonged combat, and the equipment they had hastily assembled was of mediocre quality. So, he had no choice but to feign a fighting retreat, drawing enemy fire to buy time for Team Three.

Tsk, truly annoying.

However, even more annoying things were yet to come.

Less than five minutes into the engagement, everyone heard the clear sound of police sirens approaching from a distance.

"Inspection Bureau! Drop your weapons, put your hands on your heads, and get down!"
