Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

"Pfft—Pfft—"

The cabin was filled with a strong, pungent smell of Liushen floral water.

While spraying himself with floral water, Zhao Tiezhu slung the brass ammunition chain of the multi-barrel Gatling gun around his neck, looking exactly like a Terminator preparing for a tropical rainforest vacation.

"Alright, save some stock to cool down your Gatling gun."

Lu Jingyan fanned the air in front of him with disdain, his deep eyes fixed on the real-time satellite images on the tactical tablet.

Su Xiaoxiao's clear and capable voice came through the communication channel.

"Boss, three Wing Loong-3s have arrived in the target airspace, and the fire control radar has locked on. The drug manufacturing plant and underground arms depot are highlighted and ready to be cleared at any time."

"Get to work." Lu Jingyan parted his thin lips slightly and uttered two cold words.

At this moment, deep in the Golden Triangle, at the headquarters of the "dark web" armed group.

Deafening heavy metal music ripped through the tranquil rainforest night sky, and searchlights swung wildly in the darkness.

A huge bonfire burned in the center of the square, and hundreds of fully armed drug dealers were dancing wildly around piles of eerie blue powder.

"Drink! Everyone, drink as much as you want!"

The chieftain, Khun Sa, was shirtless, holding a pure gold wine vessel and gulping down the strong liquor mixed with "spiritual medicine".

The bluish-black half-demon scales on his skin shimmered with a nauseating, eerie luster in the firelight.

"With this batch of high-dimensional elixirs, the Chinese market will be our backyard!"

Khun Sa laughed arrogantly and crushed the pure gold cup in his hand.

"What kind of bullshit Chinese special police are they? They're all just paper tigers in front of my superhuman strength!"

"Waaah—"

Before his laughter had even subsided, a chilling, piercing shriek suddenly echoed through the night sky.

The sound was too fast; it was so fast that these drug addicts, whose senses had been numbed, didn't have time to react.

"boom--!!!"

The deafening explosion instantly tore the entire park apart.

The first Hellfire missile accurately pierced the thick corrugated steel roof of the drug manufacturing plant.

Immediately afterwards, thermobaric bombs carried by three heavy drones rained down like a storm.

The blinding white light instantly robbed everyone of their sight.

The terrifyingly high temperature of up to 3,000 degrees Celsius, mixed with the shockwave of absolute vacuum, swept across the entire square like the scythe of death.

Those drug dealers who were celebrating just a second ago didn't even have time to scream before they were vaporized into black dust in the air.

"Cough cough cough... Enemy attack! Counterattack!"

Amidst the scorched earth and sea of ​​fire, several load-bearing wall rubble, each weighing several tons, was suddenly ripped away.

Khun Sa crawled out, his body charred black.

His proud half-demon scales were blasted off in large areas, and dark green blood gushed wildly from the corners of his mouth, making him look as miserable as a vengeful ghost.

But he did withstand the absolute core damage of the explosion.

His mutated, higher-dimensional body endowed him with a deformed vitality far exceeding that of humans.

"Da da da da da—"

His response was not the gunfire of the drug dealers' henchmen, but a violent storm of metal descending from the sky.

Three military helicopters had already hovered over the park at some point.

Zhao Tiezhu stood by the hatch, his multi-barreled Gatling gun spitting out flames that were half a meter long.

The dense hail of bullets tore all the remaining bunkers around Khun Sa to shreds.

Dozens of fully armed special forces soldiers swooped down the rappelling rope, and the red tactical lasers instantly turned Khun Sa's head into a beehive.

Lu Jingyan, wearing a pair of black tactical boots, walked unhurriedly through the smoke-filled ruins.

He stopped three meters in front of Khun Sa.

He held a brand-new assault rifle in his hand, its dark muzzle pointed directly at the dying beast.

Khun Sa clutched his severed left arm, his crimson vertical pupils widening in disbelief.

Looking at the ashes of his life's blood and sweat around him, he trembled with rage and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

"You...you're Chinese cops?"

Khun Sa's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he roared angrily at the sky.

"Don't you Chinese police believe in catching people alive? Don't you believe in collecting evidence and handling cases according to procedure?!"

"I haven't even uttered any threats yet, and you've already launched missiles to bombard the ground! You have absolutely no sportsmanship!!"

In this drug lord's limited understanding, police should first send in undercover agents and then conduct secret rendezvous when carrying out transnational investigations.

Finally, the two sides confronted each other with pistols in the abandoned factory, a battle of wits and courage.

Who the hell has ever seen a heavy bomber used to plow through the land?!

Looking at his furious and defensive state, Lu Jingyan let out a sneer without any attempt to hide it.

"I'm correcting two of your misconceptions."

Lu Jingyan held the gun with one hand, the butt resting against his shoulder, his eyes cold and devoid of any human warmth.

"First, this is a region controlled by foreign armed groups. I am a police officer, but I am currently carrying out a counter-terrorism and elimination order."

"Secondly, you drug-producing and drug-trafficking beasts do not deserve to enjoy the judicial process of modern human society."

He slowly pulled back the bolt, the crisp metallic clanging sound particularly jarring in the silent ruins.

"When dealing with poisonous insects, physical exorcism is the greatest act of morality."

Kun let out a desperate and frantic roar, and his legs suddenly exerted force.

Despite being riddled with bullet holes, he brandished his remaining right claw and lunged at Lu Jingyan's throat!

"Go to hell with me!"

"Bang!"

A muffled gunshot rang out.

Lu Jingyan didn't even activate the system's passive ability; relying on the muscle memory of his god-level fighting skills, he decisively pulled the trigger.

A large-caliber dumdum bullet precisely pierced Khun Sa's right kneecap.

The half-demon's hardened bones were as fragile as tofu in front of the special warhead, instantly exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

Khun Sa's massive body crashed to the ground, slamming heavily onto the scorched ruins, writhing and howling in agony.

"Cuff him, give him two strong sedatives, don't let him die."

Lu Jingyan casually slung the gun behind his back and kicked Kunsha's twitching leg.

"This large lizard is still useful. We can bring it back to China and have forensic doctor Qin slice it up to study the decay period of the high-dimensional radiation."

Two special forces soldiers immediately stepped forward and used specially made hydraulic handcuffs to firmly lock Khun Sa's limbs.

Zhao Tiezhu reluctantly put down the Gatling gun, which was still emitting blue smoke, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Boss, is that all? My gun's barely warm up!"

Just then, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been operating the tactical tablet to scan the scene from the rear, suddenly let out a terrified scream.

"Boss! Come quick!"

Su Xiaoxiao ran over with her tablet in her arms, pointing to a large patch of glaring red light on the screen.

"Although the drug manufacturing plant was razed, thermal imaging radar shows that there is still a large area of ​​abnormal heat activity beneath the mountain behind the industrial park!"

Lu Jingyan frowned and strode towards the back of the park.

After passing through a forest of withered trees that had been blown up, an extremely well-hidden cave entrance appeared before them.

The massive explosion-proof iron door was tightly wrapped with high-voltage wire mesh as thick as an arm.

Above the iron gate hung various eerie Thai incantations and extremely dangerous skull warning signs.

Zhao Tiezhu stepped forward and forcefully poked the rusty, massive iron door with the barrel of a Gatling gun.

"Clang—"

A dull, metallic echo reverberated through the deep cave.

Immediately afterwards, a series of extremely dense and chilling scratching sounds suddenly came from behind the iron gate.

It was as if hundreds or thousands of hands covered in sharp claws were frantically digging and scraping at that thick iron plate.

What followed was a low, painful, and completely inhuman scream.

Su Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she took two steps back and grabbed Zhao Tiezhu's bulletproof vest tightly.

"Boss... the thermal imaging shows at least five hundred living creatures! What kind of monsters are locked up in there?"

Lu Jingyan looked up at the rust on the door, which had been stained a dark blue by high-dimensional radiation, and his jawline gradually tightened.

"Smash it open."

He turned to look at the special forces soldiers standing guard behind him, his tone more solemn than ever before.

"Everyone, switch to armor-piercing incendiary grenades, all safety engaged. I want to see what kind of disgusting, shady stuff this so-called overseas dark web has been hatching in the sewers."
