The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

Who can blame MS-13 for having Carlos who can carry the whole game? An AK series assault rifle can be used for both long-range bursts and medium and close-range sweeps. His fast, accurate and ruthless shooting allowed Carlos to take down most of the people in the game by himself, and he led his accomplices to a crushing victory.

"No one here has killed more Blood Gang members than Carlos. All of us combined have not killed as many as he has. He definitely cannot be sent by the Blood Gang," the little boss muttered to himself, "God bless, I hope he is not an undercover sent by them. If he can pass the last test, he may be the best killer God has given us........."

Chapter 34 Preparations for War

The MS-13 gang's sneak attack made them a lot of money. They robbed the Bloods' money, seized the drug dealers' goods, and framed the Crips. They killed three birds with one stone and won. Carlos made a great contribution. Many MS-13 gang members who participated in the sneak attack have regarded Carlos as the new generation of gang god of war. If it weren't for the fact that this was a secret operation, Carlos's reputation would soon be known throughout the gang world and he would become one of the most troublesome criminals for the new LAPD.

But the MS-13 gang still has one last doubt, that is, they want to know whether Carlos was sent by the community vigilantes... Why not suspect the LAPD? The first reason is that the gang's informant in the police said that the LAPD is not interested in dealing with the MS-13 gang at the moment, they just want to catch the bank robbers as soon as possible; the second reason is that this does not conform to the style of the local police in Los Angeles. The LAPD is more accustomed to buying gang members as informants, rather than directly sending police officers undercover into the gang; the third reason is that if it is an undercover arranged by the LAPD, his style of behavior will not be so high-profile.

However, the vigilantes in the Los Angeles car modification king's area are a bit unusual. The style displayed by those vigilantes is that they don't care about their own lives or the lives of others. When those vigilantes are clearing out gang members and drug dealers in the local community, they never follow the regular police process of arresting criminals, but directly pull out their guns and shoot. Carlos' style is especially like these community vigilantes. He never shoots to scare the other party or force back the enemy. He always shoots to kill, and every shot is aimed at the vital points.

In order to completely eliminate Carlos' suspicion and make it easier to reuse this new kid in the future, the MS-13 gang's top brass decided to arrange for him to participate in the MS-13 gang's revenge against the Universal Group. Of course, this does not mean that the MS-13 gang will "attack with all their forces" to destroy the Universal Group's base. Although the gang members are fierce, their combat effectiveness is just so-so. If they want to kill dozens of community vigilantes on the opposite side, they may have to surround the Los Angeles modified car king for a whole day and sacrifice hundreds of lives.

And if the MS-13 gang can fight a gang war like this in Los Angeles without anyone intervening, then all the LAPD members can be laid off, and other gangs like the Crips and the Bloods can just surrender to MS-13.

MS-13's plan is to retaliate against the community where the Los Angeles car modification king lives. Doesn't the manager of the Universal Group always like to say that this is "my community"? Then MS-13 should start from the community. The community is so large, how can a few dozen vigilantes protect the entire community? MS-13 has plenty of opportunities to launch surprise attacks, kidnap and kill people randomly, and create panic in the community. They create panic in the community and tell the residents of the community not to think that the community vigilantes can protect you.

Carlos received a new mission from the gang, and many veterans of MS-13 were involved, but no one except the little boss knew what MS-13 was going to do tonight. Even the drivers were unaware. They were just equipped with walkie-talkies, and the little boss drove a small car to lead the convoy to the destination.

As usual, the player controlling Carlos posted the gang's actions to the chat group.

"What are these stupid gangsters trying to do?"

"Who knows? Maybe they robbed the Blood Gang last time and are planning to rob the Crip Gang this time?"

"No, if they were robbing the Crips Gang this time, why didn't they change into the Blood Gang's clothes? And before we set out last time, the little boss had already made it clear what we were going to do, so why did he keep it a secret from his own people this time?"

"There is only one way to keep a secret from one's own people, and that is to suspect that there is a mole on one's side..."

"Carlos was exposed?"

After a moment of silence in the chat group, a player took over and said, "No, if Carlos is exposed, the gangsters will definitely lynch him directly, so there is no need to go through so much trouble. I think Carlos may be suspected, but it is just a suspicion... My intuition tells me that it is better for everyone to go online tonight..."

................

Carlos and a group of MS-13 gang members were still wandering around the streets. At this time, the sky was dyed gorgeous by the orange and pink sunset. As the sun gradually set over the horizon, the sounds of children playing and family dinners in the community where the Los Angeles car modification king lived disappeared. The busy shops had closed early, the windows were closed, and the entire community was in a tense state of alert.

Half an hour ago, the player called out to the residents of the local community through the radio in the community police station: "Dear residents, I am Rodriguez, the community volunteer police on duty tonight. We have received news that gang members may infiltrate our community tonight. Please stay at home, lock the doors and windows, and stay vigilant. If you find any suspicious activities, report them immediately. The community volunteer police have been deployed to the intersections of several main streets and are working hard to ensure everyone's safety. May God bless us."

Compared to the last time when gangsters easily entered the community and killed people in homes, this time, the security of the community has been strengthened a lot. Barbed wire can be installed on the walls of houses close to the road, and at every entrance and exit of the road leading to the outside of the community, players have deployed movable barbed wire in advance as temporary roadblocks. The only main street road intersection without barbed wire has four combat players armed with light machine guns and assault rifles deployed to ensure that any vehicle that wants to force its way through here will be shot into a sieve.

In the center of the block, driving players and some combat players were riding in cars, acting as a mobile reserve ready to plug the gap at any time; there was a small tower in the community church, where two combat players were guarding with high-power combat rifles, ready to shoot distant targets at any time; in other places, many non-combat players also took up weapons and patrolled the community on foot, ready to fight any gangs that might appear.

The street lights came on, casting long shadows on the empty streets, and the players patrolling the community met up with another group of NPCs who had volunteered to participate in the daily patrols of community policing.

"Hey, bro, there may be a gunfight in the community soon. It will be very dangerous. You should go home and stay with your family." The game character controlled by the player said to the NPCs.

The NPC leader of the patrol was a retired policeman holding a revolver. He spoke to Rodriguez on behalf of the patrol:

“Hey guys, your AR15 rifles are not the only weapons we have. We can fight with the weapons in our hands. We can fight too. Even though I am just a retired old man in this team and the people behind me are all rookies with guns, we will not sit idly by and watch the gangs come and rob our community!”

"If those gangsters dare to come! We will fight them on the streets!"

"We'll shoot from the rooftops and blow their heads off!"

"We'll use our shotguns to shoot the shit out of any gangsters that try to break into our house!"

Chapter 35: The Battle Between Gangs and Communities

Carlos and other MS-13 gang members were not informed by the small boss until they got off the car that this action was a revenge action. They could kill, rape, set fire, and do whatever they wanted. The purpose was to spread panic to the community. Carlos in the game world did not say anything, but the players in the real world were frantically reporting the location in the chat group: "Coordinates xxxx, xxxx, hurry up and guard the point!"

"The gangsters are casting a wider net. Why are there people everywhere? Are there any players guarding our coordinates?"

"No, there are only a few NPCs with guns guarding there."

On the road that Carlos and some gang members had to take to enter the community, there was a row of barbed wire fences, and a large truck was parked behind the wire fences to prevent foreign vehicles from forcing their way through. Gang members came out of the car one after another, and their outlines were particularly clear under the dim light of the street lamps.

At the same time, several community patrol members crouched behind trucks and courtyard walls, their faces full of tension. They were holding various weapons, including the M1911 passed down from their grandfathers, revolvers and shotguns bought when they retired. They stood firm here, ready to stop the gangsters from entering.

"Maria, have we called the police?"

"I've called 911, and the LAPD said they'll send a police car to check it out."

"A police car? Hell, there were at least dozens, maybe hundreds of gang members attacking the community tonight."

"Oh, that's not surprising. The police are a group of 'mechanical warriors' wearing helmets, walkie-talkies on their shoulders, shields in their hands, and pistols on their waists. They always arrive slowly and always lag behind criminal activities..."

"They are coming...Everyone, be careful not to shoot randomly, and wait for my news..."

MS-13 gang members looked at the roadblock, and words like "FUCK" and "bitch" kept appearing in their minds, because the roadblock in front of them was too outrageous.

"What the hell! Is this a community or a prison? Why would a community prepare barbed wire for itself?"

"Damn it, this community is clearly prepared to deal with us. Someone must have leaked the news. Maybe there are guns pointed at us from behind..."

Carlos and his group wanted to retreat, but the boss would not allow it. He said that other groups had already begun actions in other locations in the community, and any member who retreated without permission would be subject to the most severe punishment according to gang rules. In desperation, a tall man with a shaved head in Carlos' group walked towards the wall next to the barbed wire and prepared to climb.

It's always easier to climb a wall than to climb over a barbed wire.

Carlos and others supported the tall bald man. The bald man took a running start and easily touched the edge of the wall with both hands. With a push of his arms, he jumped over the wall and landed on the ground...

"Shit! How can someone grow so many thorny things at home......."

"Fire!"

"boom--"

The quiet night was broken by the sound of shotgun blasts. The first shot hit the tall bald man who climbed over the wall. The bald man screamed from inside the wall, followed by the second and third shots. There was no screaming from the last two shots. It was probably because the residents who lived here came up to shoot again, which made the tall bald man shut up forever.

Not only did the gunshots from behind the courtyard wall, but the community patrol members guarding the entrance and exit also opened fire, and the muzzle fire briefly illuminated the most ferocious expressions of these patrol members. Another gang member fell down, he covered his shoulder, and blood continued to flow from the wound. The chaotic firepower immediately messed up the MS-13 gang members. Some of them lay on the ground unable to move, and some tried to fight back, but the shooting skills of these gangs were at the same level as the patrol members on the opposite side, just like a fight between two noobs, but the patrol team at least had the advantage of cover, and no matter what, they had more advantages than these MS-13 gang members.

But the MS-13 gang still has their trump card - Carlos.

"Carlos! Kill them! Kill them!"

Helpless Carlos picked up his rifle and began to look for non-lethal parts of the patrol members, while reminding other players in the chat group to remember to bring first aid medical supplies when coming to support.

"Don't move, don't move, ok, I'll choose your calves, don't blame me..."

"boom--"

Carlos's move had an immediate effect. A patrolman hiding behind a car immediately cried out while holding his injured foot. The injured patrolman was immediately dragged to a safer location by a retired policeman in the team. The retired policeman then called out on the intercom:

"We encountered precise shooting from gang members at the intersection of xxx street. Please support us immediately! Please support us immediately!"

"Received. Support is on the way. Please save yourself first and do not risk engaging the enemy unless necessary."

The MS-13 gang's multi-point attack strategy has indeed put the entire community in a state of panic, with the sound of gunfire everywhere. But this time, the MS-13 gang did not encounter individual families, but a community that had prepared for the battle in advance. Community residents all know the cruelty of these gangs, and it is pure dreaming to expect to beg for mercy from the other side. Only fighting can give them a glimmer of hope.

In the past, no one organized everyone to resist. The resistance of each family was not only insignificant in the eyes of the gangs, but also led to more brutal retaliation. But now, the community residents have been organized. The community police station has pre-organized each family into groups, with several or more than a dozen families in a group. The groups are concentrated to assist in defense and report to the police station via radio at any time to call for reinforcements. Everyone has a gun in their hands. In the past, the evil people just banded together to do evil, which was more advantageous. Now the community has also been mobilized. Who is afraid of who?

So, tonight the MS-13 gang members just felt like they had bitten a hedgehog covered with thorns, feeling very uncomfortable, while the players were having a great time killing each other.

For example, two players holding high-powered combat rifles guarding the commanding heights. These two people occupy the commanding heights and can shoot at several different battle scenes and get kills at will. Even if they encounter some enemies that are inconvenient to shoot, they can still share a lot of experience by marking the enemies.

For example, the four combat players guarding the main entrance had already turned several pickup trucks that had forced their way through into sieves, and the MS-13 gang members who were caught off guard by an ambush were directly beaten by the dense firepower and fled. At first, the players were not in a hurry to chase them, because according to the players' daily gaming habits, many game planners would arrange a stronger wave of troops to attack, with some powerful elite troops; or they would lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, attracting players to blindly chase them, and then ambush another wave of players.

But after a long while, until the fifth player who had just joined the battlefield chased in the direction of the gangsters' escape (picking up corpses along the way), and searched all the corpses but didn't see any second wave of incoming troops or any ambush, the players realized that the gangsters who attacked this intersection were really defeated by a few rounds of gunfire.

"That's it? This is far worse than the LAPD!"

Chapter 36: Borrowing a Head

The players obviously fell into the misunderstanding of "brutal means = strong fighting power". They heard a lot of crazy and outrageous things done by MS-13 gang members, so they took it for granted that these gang members were fearless and ruthless people who would not turn back until they died (this is possible after taking drugs), and they were originally prepared for a tough battle...

The first group of players to support the NPC were those who were patrolling on foot nearby. They were not combat players and did not have outrageous combat abilities or particularly strong marksmanship, but their combat effectiveness was still far beyond that of the gangsters.

In the chat group, a player @Carlos said: "Brother, we are almost close to the coordinates. What do you think we should do next? Should I just rush over and die or..."

"No, be normal! Act for a while. If I shoot you right now, how can I look awesome as a vigilante? If vigilantes aren't awesome, how can I look awesome?"

"No problem, let's start killing now!"

The four players who arrived at the scene first were seen moving forward with two in front and two in the back providing cover. Two of them opened fire to suppress the attack, while the other two quickly moved from one cover to another. After the four of them reached the appropriate shooting position with their cover, they picked up their assault rifles and started firing short bursts, making the gangsters look miserable. The patrol NPCs also shouted out in excitement one by one.

As for the gangsters who were shot in bursts, they didn't dare to come out from behind the cover and just kept calling for Carlos.

"Fuck! Can't you just shoot and help me share the firepower?" Carlos yelled at the gangsters who could only ask for support: "There are at least two assault rifles pointed at me! I'm going to die if I show my head!"

"Carlos! Think of a solution!"

"We're all depending on you!"

Carlos was silent for a while, and suddenly, in the eyes of his companions, Carlos' eyes became different. He suddenly stretched out his gun from the side of the bunker, found the enemy, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger within a second. In a flash, the neck of a vigilante who was about to change bunker was pierced by Carlos' bullet.

A volley of bullets flew by Carlos's head, and one of them hit Carlos' ear, but Carlos just covered it with his hand, then quickly stood up and ran out of the other side of the bunker to a better position. "Carlos, you're hurt!" someone shouted.

"Of course I know!" Carlos said, and then he picked up his assault rifle and started to fight with the vigilantes on the opposite side. He was not at a disadvantage when he was fighting three people alone. The vigilantes did not rush out to fight, apparently because they were afraid of Carlos, and the gangsters did not take the opportunity to counterattack. Their courage had long been beaten, so how could they dare to attack?

This farce-like sneak attack ended only when the boss called for retreat through the intercom.

"Everyone evacuate immediately. The LAPD was mad at the noise we made. They sent out the SWAT team..."

Carlos himself once again became the "God of War" who covered the gang members. He kept reaching out from behind the cover to pick up the gun and open fire to suppress the vigilantes who were ready to chase him. Then Carlos was the last one to get on the car. During the entire retreat, no gangster was shot dead.

Far away from the battlefield, the boss had an unusual conversation with another trusted confidant:

"Someone must have leaked the news, so the community was prepared. Was it Carlos who did it?"

"I'm sure it wasn't Carlos. He didn't know his target until he got off the car. Before that, I was keeping an eye on him. He had no problems going to the bathroom, eating, or sleeping, and he didn't have the chance to tip off anyone. Carlos performed just as well in the battle. He alone suppressed several vigilantes with assault rifles and killed one of them. Carlos himself was almost shot in the head. The bullet shot off Carlos' ear... However, our suspicion investigation achieved an unexpected result. Boss, we accidentally discovered a real informer, Henry, who is assisting the FBI in investigating us."

"Well, let him interrogate the traitor who betrayed us to the FBI, and then let Carlos kill him. After that, we can eliminate all suspicion against Carlos and take him to the gang's headquarters in Los Angeles. The headquarters will be of great use to such a talented killer!"

…………

"What? MS-13 attacked the neighborhood next door? How, how could this happen?"

"Some idiots from a gang went to the wrong place. They happily told the boss that they had successfully entered the community, raped and killed the residents in their homes, and then chopped the owner's body into many pieces and dumped it on the road. But the boss later found out that these idiots went to another community because these idiots followed the wrong car halfway..."

The news from Carlos left the players speechless, but they didn't take it too seriously. They just lamented that this game was really fun to play. There was even a plot where the "little monsters" took the wrong path. It couldn't be some kind of bug.

When the sun rose the next day, the LAPD had already cordoned off the scene of the fight last night. There were bodies and blood everywhere, and the bullet holes on the walls and cars seemed to tell how fierce the fight was yesterday. The police collected dozens of gang members' bodies, but according to the LAPD's own judgment, the bodies and wounded taken away by the gang members should exceed the number of bodies left here, which means that hundreds of the most brutal gang members were killed or injured in the fierce battle last night. God bless the community. If there were no vigilantes and community patrols on high alert last night, there would be at least hundreds of civilians killed and injured in this community.

"Why did we only send one police car to check the situation at the beginning? Damn it, he couldn't do anything but go back and call for backup. By the time the backup arrived, the battle here was over." A rookie policeman of LAPD said to his colleague.

The rookie's colleague looked around and said to him in a low voice, "After receiving the alarm last night, LAPD immediately deployed limited patrol forces to the wealthy community to ensure that these gangs would not endanger the wealthy people who donated to the police fund and the LAPD gym. If the gunfire here had not become more and more intense, and had not alarmed the bigwigs in Los Angeles, the LAPD probably would not have even sent police last night, but would have waited for the fight to be over......"

“So, we’re just the police protecting the rich?”

"Oh, you can't say that, it's too absolute..."

Near the LAPD cordoned off site, there were still many media reporters running very fast. Among them was the Los Angeles Times team that had previously reported on the community vigilantes. They found a community resident who had joined the community patrol team and listened to his vivid description of last night's battle.

"I was guarding the house with a shotgun. When I heard someone climbing over the wall, I immediately came to the yard. The first shot hit the gangster who climbed over the wall into my yard. "Bang--" the shotgun hit the idiot's face, blood and flesh were blurred. I dare say even his mother can't recognize this guy's face. That devil is in great pain on the way to hell. Hey, reporter, please help write the following paragraph in the newspaper and tell those gangsters: We will defend the community based on the right to bear arms and self-defense granted to us by law. We also have the best vigilantes and community patrols here. No matter what kind of weird gang you are, never think of attacking our community, never think of setting foot here. If you dare to come, you will die like those gangsters last night!"

Chapter 37 Establishment of a Security Company

In the battle between the community and the gang, except for six NPCs who participated in the patrol team and were shot to varying degrees, no one among the NPCs died. The only death was from the player, whose character's throat was pierced by a bullet, leaving no chance for rescue. The player watched the screen turn red with blood, and the camera was in a trance for a while, and then a prompt appeared: "Your character has died, please log in to the game again after 24 hours."

The player who was forced to quit his internet addiction for 24 hours immediately said in the chat group: "Brothers, I have sacrificed my life to cooperate with our Infernal Affairs! I have been injured for the party and the country! I have shed blood for the party and the country!"

"Don't worry, we will arrange a grand funeral for you at the community church, and hire a professional team to carry your coffin! We will also provide all kinds of musical instruments and singing. Oh, and when your character is resurrected after 24 hours, don't make the same face, or it will scare the NPCs to death."

"I know this. I'm already in the face-shaping interface. The original face-shaping data is no longer usable. I have to adjust it. What I want to say is that this pension........."

"Fuck, pensions?" a player suddenly interrupted, "We still have pensions here? Can't we get rich by committing suicide?"

"What the hell... Our Universal Group doesn't even have five social insurances and one housing fund, so how can we have pensions..."

"Let's see if there's any chance to get some social donations, or to stir up some sentiments with the LAPD or the Los Angeles City Government and get some compensation? But that depends on luck. You know, even if you're a regular employee and want to get compensation, you have to go through all kinds of strict reviews, and it depends on whether the leader who issues the compensation is a decent person. What's more, people like us who don't have a salary..."

"By the way, what does your character in the game do with the pension?"

The player who was banned from the internet for 24 hours thought about it and said in the chat group: "I think that although the weapons we purchased are good, I think this AR-15 rifle can only be used as a secondary weapon. Uh, I want to use the pension to buy a large-caliber sniper rifle as a main weapon..."

...................

In the battle last night, the community where the Los Angeles car modification king lived successfully defended itself at a certain price; the MS-13 gang was a jackal licking its wounds, holding a grudge, and planning to retaliate again; no one in the LAPD was injured in such a big mess; the journalists obtained the material... The neighboring community, which had nothing to do with this, was purely suffering from an unprovoked disaster. Who would have thought that the gang would go the wrong way? However, gang members do not make any distinction when committing crimes against civilians. They kill anyone and rob anyone. Will the MS-13 gang apologize and say that we killed the wrong person?

In the accidental injury in the neighboring community last night, more than a dozen families were affected. In some cases, the entire family was killed, in some cases, the owners were lucky enough to escape, and in several families, even their relatives were separated from each other...........The poor public security made the community residents feel that they had to do something.

Rely on LAPD? Yes, LAPD’s duty is to protect the citizens of Los Angeles, but as we all know, “some citizens are more deserving of protection than others.” Given limited police force, LAPD will definitely prioritize protecting more “valuable citizens.” So if a community wants to receive full protection from LAPD, it needs to prove that it is “valuable,” such as having big names in politics, business, and entertainment living here, or making large donations to LAPD or the police fund.
