At this moment, the Rust Wall District had become a playground for the rioters.

They smashed and looted shops along the way, plundering valuable goods.

They kicked open doors, and inside, the cries and screams of the female occupants soon echoed out.

Wind Flower Road was a convergence point on the New Moon City overpass, located in the Rust Wall District, easily accessible, heading north into the High-Tech Park filled with enterprises, and heading east straight to the bustling Lakefront Business District.

A modified off-road vehicle sped down Wind Flower Road, with a rioter in the back seat firing a gun wildly, randomly shooting at lucky buildings, continuously letting out boisterous cheers.

The driver floored the gas pedal, sticking out his tongue with a tongue ring, and laughed maniacally, “Charge! Charge into Lake Heart Island! Slaughter those rich bastards!!!”

Just as the modified vehicle was speeding along, a blazing light suddenly appeared at the other end of the street.

“Whoosh—” A small missile came from afar, its long tail flame dragging the light of death.

“Boom!” The small missile struck the front of the vehicle, instantly flipping it over, scattering burning metal and glass everywhere, lying paralyzed in the flames.

The driver in the front and the rioter in the passenger seat were killed instantly.

The rioter in the back was also blasted, his face covered in blood, one arm blown off, lying in the deformed back seat howling in pain.

In the distance on the street, a fully armed force appeared in the shadows.

The most advanced fully automatic combat mecha roared with its engines, its massive body several stories tall, its armor lit up by flames as if cloaked in fire.

Warriors dressed in black guarded the flanks of the mecha, their gazes cold, each with a grim skull emblem on their uniform.

A rioter struggled to crawl out from the back seat of the modified vehicle, dazed by the explosion, his mind unclear, instead of running, he pulled out a single-man rocket launcher and fired back at the force.

“Whoosh—Boom!” The rocket drew an arc, directly hitting the tall man at the front, exploding into a blaze on his face.

“Hahaha! Die, you dogs of the authorities! Ha…” The rioter laughed, but his laughter abruptly stopped.

Amidst the smoke, the man who had just been struck on the head by the rocket continued to approach, his face only slightly damaged, revealing the shiny “Fearless Level 2” implanted prosthetic armor beneath the skin.

The man walked up to the terrified rioter, not even looking at him, just raising his hand.

Amidst the mechanical roar, the man’s right arm disassembled and reformed, an energy torrent gathering and swirling, forming a dark barrel in his palm.

“Boom—”

A cerulean beam surged, instantly vaporizing the rioter, and on the ground, it blasted a giant pit several meters deep, the concrete at the edges turning into charred ash under the high temperature, scattering in the wind.

The man lifted his head, looked toward the distant fiery streets of the Rust Wall District, and coldly said on the communication channel, “Sheriff Ivan reporting, Alpha Squad has arrived at Wind Flower Road, commencing the operation to reclaim the Rust Wall District.”

…

At the boundary streets of the Rust Wall District, the armed forces of New Moon City authorities were fully in place, unleashing a counteroffensive frenzy, tens of thousands of armed personnel were deployed to the battlefield.

These were well-trained regular troops, equipped with sophisticated weapons, armed with a complete tactical system.

And the elite like the Anti-Violence Fourth Section were all extraordinary beings, each carrying Blood Code, implanted prosthetics, and in the array, one could even see the Mechanical Ferocious Beasts controlled by Spiritual Brain Modifiers.

The Alpha Squad led by Ivan was the ace unit of the Anti-Violence Fourth Section, just entering the battlefield, they encountered a group of rioters numbering in the hundreds.

These rioters, intoxicated by their revelry, not only refused to surrender but dared to strike back at the Alpha Squad.

What greeted them was the New Moon City authorities’ most formidable firepower strike.

The fully automatic combat mecha’s fire control system was fully activated, barrels emerged from the armor, reaching a peak of booms, showering the enemy with overwhelming cannon fire.

The Prosthetic Implanters formed an assault formation, advancing fearlessly amid the rain of bullets; the rioters’ bullets hitting them seemed like mere raindrops, only sparking tiny flashes.

And their Tsunami Assault Rifles shredded through the rioters’ bodies mercilessly like a meat grinder.

Blood Code Carriers launched flanking maneuvers into the crowd, with Bone Blades, plasma, superhuman muscles, Blood Crystal Spikes… various Blood Code Abilities attacking in succession.

Where the Blood Code Power rampaged, blood flowed rivers, severed limbs flew, cries of pain and screaming tore through the sky.

The Spiritual Brain Modifiers did not miss out on this counteroffensive frenzy from their hidden post, with their Mechanical Ferocious Beasts charging at heavily armed rioters under their control.

Numerous rockets exploded with blazing light on the biotic hulls of the Mechanical Ferocious Beasts, unable to shake these behemoths in the slightest, easily crushing defenses, trampling the rioters hiding behind, all while unleashing deafening beast roars.

While the ground forces attacked, aerial reinforcements arrived.

Drones and Floating Gunships traversed the night sky, heavy anti-personnel machine cannons protruding from the weapon bays, 20mm caliber barrels pouring hundreds of bullets per second, roaring through the crowd of rioters below.

The communication system had failed at some unknown point, causing the rioters to lose contact with each other, compelled to rely on shouted exchanges, screaming hoarse but entirely drowned out by the noise of cannon fire.

Unprecedented fear spread in the rioters’ hearts, what they thought would be easy looting had brutally turned into a battle of annihilation, and they found themselves on the losing side, every individual struck with terror.

“Damn, why is this firepower so fierce! Where are those groups’ extraordinary beings? Why are none of them showing up?!” A rioter cursed from behind cover, looking in despair at the approaching Anti-Violence Team members.

The companion gritted his teeth and said, “Fuck, we were used as cannon fodder!”

“Screw them! They said we would attack together!” The rioter swore, pulling the pin from a grenade, just about to throw it…

A bullet precisely severed his wrist, and the hand holding the grenade fell to the ground.

“Boom!” The fragmentation grenade detonated, leaving dozens of bloody holes in his body, blood splattering several meters away, the man collapsed like a rag with no motion.

The surrounding rioters were in despair, cowering behind cover, at a loss, foreseeing their demise—their heads smashed like watermelons by the Anti-Violence Team Members, leaving flesh and blood everywhere.

Where the Alpha Squad was, was only a corner of the battlefield, the Rust Wall District had hundreds more such fire-exchange points.

No matter how bloodthirsty the rioters were, they were still just rioters.

They could bully ordinary citizens.

With a plan, they might catch pampered sheriffs off guard.

But faced with well-trained elites, they were simply no match.

Moreover, after Rust Wall fell, those who first rushed into the Inner City for looting were minor groups without any forethought, acting on impulse without considering the consequences.

Those large groups possessing sizable numbers of extraordinary beings capable of matching elite regulars were still calmly observing, at most sending some vanguard teams into the city to scout, with the main forces still waiting at the outskirts.

The stark contrast in hard power tilted the battlefield balance, with lost districts quickly reclaimed by various troops, the riot zones constantly shrinking.

At this rate, by tomorrow morning, the front lines would push to the midsection of Rust Wall M17 District, reclaiming all lost ground!
