Flying cement debris and a violent explosion soared into the sky. A Bai Family enforcer couldn’t dodge in time and was torn to shreds on the spot, while several others nearby were knocked off their feet by the shockwave.

“Buzz~ Buzz~”

The loud noise caused Gu Ji’s ears to ring painfully. He struggled to stand by holding onto a load-bearing wall, constantly chewing to relieve the pressure in his ears, but the strong dizziness caused by the displacement of the ear stones made him instinctively retch.

Inside the shelter, billowing dust and smoke resembled a thick fog.

The air was filled with a suffocating, pungent smell everywhere.

Gu Ji forced himself to ignore the gritty sensation in his eyes, briefly turned on the flashlight, and the light pierced through the smoke, illuminating a deep crater blown into the ground, with a corresponding large crack in the ceiling caused by the shockwave, surrounded by flying fragments of flesh.

Directional blasting.

It’s plastic explosives!

The Bai Family’s business is extensive; both real estate and mining need explosives, generally divided into emulsified and plastic types.

Conventional emulsified explosive ammonium nitrate has a blast speed of around 4000m/s, requiring it to be inserted into narrow drilled holes for controlled blasts, relying on a supersonic shockwave to pulverize concrete into small pieces.

But for the specially reinforced and strengthened shelter, emulsified explosives couldn’t cause such massive destruction; plastic explosives were necessary: RDX, with a blast speed exceeding 8000m/s, capable of directly cutting through steel and pushing it in a specific direction, making it ideal for directional blasting of steel-reinforced structures.

He had already analyzed this with Bai Maoliang and Scarface.

As long as the warlords don’t use high-powered explosives, it’s impossible to breach here.

But who would’ve thought that Qi Liran was completely insane, daring to use such immensely powerful explosives in a crisis like a building collapse.

Isn’t he afraid of triggering secondary tremors or blowing up the entire building?

Just as Gu Ji barely managed to recover a bit from the explosive tinnitus, a few inconspicuous black objects were thrown in from two fire exits.

“Quick, find cover! Grenades!!”

Gu Ji didn’t even know if anyone could hear his yelling.

As he hid behind a nearby load-bearing column, bang! Bang! Four explosions followed in succession, with debris and metal fragments flying like arrows in all directions, mixed with a piercing whistle cutting through the air.

The ground crumbled, dust and smoke filled the air.

The scene turned chaotic instantly, with Bai Family executives and enforcers fleeing everywhere, cries echoing.

“Don’t panic! Counterattack at your positions! Hold the breach!”

Gu Ji spat out the pieces of debris against his mouth, immediately shouldering a black MA-1 rifle, shouting at the enforcers.

But the enforcers ignored the commands completely, like frightened sheep pounced by hunting wolves.

Why is there such a huge gap between the desperados on both sides?

The enforcers controlled by Mr. Shao and Dahai were fearless, but these enforcers were scared out of their wits by a few explosions.

An enforcer fleeing in panic failed to escape in time and stepped into a crater from the explosion, falling into the 20th floor.

The next second, a group of knife-wielding desperados surrounded him, drowning the Bai Family enforcer in cries and the sound of knives hacking flesh, and in no time, a life was “devoured” completely.

At the same time.

Ten or so desperados burst in from each side’s fire door, half wielding guns to oversee, the other half with knives, including Dahai and Qi Liran.

It seems the other side is prepared for a final desperate fight!

Gu Ji held up his rifle behind cover, staying in a standing position, his back tense, chest heaving rhythmically. He swiftly squeezed the trigger, firing two rounds of three-point bursts.

Thud!

A desperado was killed instantly.

He immediately ducked back behind cover as Qi Liran’s bursts followed, pinning him down from peeking out.

“Enemy suppression! Chaojun! Pan Xinli! Rally to me for support!!”

As his voice fell.

Chaojun, hiding not far away, quickly kneeled and got up, firing two shots towards Qi Liran’s group, forcing them to take cover behind the load-bearing column.

Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Ji rolled away, got up, and unleashed another burst of fire, hitting a desperado’s ankle by chance.

But others weren’t so lucky.

A Bai Family enforcer was shot in the chest by an overseer and collapsed to the ground, where two desperados decapitated him with knives.

Watching his own getting killed, Scarface went completely berserk.

“Damn you, I’ll blow you all to hell!”

He quickly unbuckled an American M67 grenade from his waist, removed the safety clip, pulled out the pin, and hurled it fiercely.

Boom!

The fragmentation grenade killed two desperados charging towards Mr. Bai on the spot, but just as he was about to throw another, Dahai suddenly shouted: “Hold him down for me!”

Instantly, a desperado decisively gave up the enforcer in front of him and unhesitatingly rushed to Scarface, grabbing his wrist with a cruel smile, pinning him to the ground.

Boom——!

Flames exploded between the two bodies, flesh flying, and Scarface and the desperado were killed instantly!

This scene deeply shocked Gu Ji.

Clearly going to die, yet without batting an eye.

Such terrifying execution, on par with professional soldiers—what methods did Dahai and Mr. Shao use to train the desperados to be so obedient?

No time to think much, a supervising gunman entered his firing range. He raised his MA-1, firing short bursts, hitting the enemy, but as he prepared a follow-up shot, click—the trigger wouldn’t pull.

Gu Ji decisively discarded the rifle, quickly drawing a Glock 17 from his waist, disengaging the trigger safety, bang bang, killing the supervising gunman who was trying to get up.

“This junk weapon!”

He cursed, as the Burmese-made MA-1, using engineering plastic parts of varying quality, some parts weren’t sturdy enough and tended to break, often malfunctioned; fortunately, it didn’t explode.
