I write obituaries for the gods

This practically tells him to go for it!

Just do it!

“That concludes my presentation,” Ru Mo said with a slight bow. “Next, we will discuss specific operational matters. I have confidence in your professional abilities; after all, you are people who have created miracles.”

"You flatter me, Ru Mo!" Hua Luo Ri was very happy.

“I wasn’t talking about you, Hua Luori.” Ru Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"So hurtful..." The flowers withered and died.

Lin Chen glanced at Hua Luori, then at Ru Mo, and realized that the two must know each other.

Oh right, didn't Hua Luori greet Ru Mo when she came in?

"The biggest obstacle to getting to the Silver District is the Liberty District."

Hua Molan quickly took over the topic and displayed a map of Yudu on the screen.

“Nowadays, Liberty is Super America’s territory, and local gangs are rampant, making it very difficult to pass through by air.”

"The ground isn't simple either," Jiang Zhengge said, looking at the map. "Let me guess, the Red Gang?"

“To be precise, it’s the Red Gang and the Church of Mentis,” Hua Molan said.

"The Church of Mentis?"

When the familiar names appeared once again, Lin Chen couldn't help but look up and observe the division of power on the map.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the influence of the Mentis Church was almost on par with that of the Red Gang!

"Chaotic times are a good time to spread faith, especially these... uh... cults?" Li Zhanyi gently rubbed his chin. "Hmm... but the scale of this... isn't it too large..."

“There is a border area between the Liberty District and the Silver District called ‘White Plains’,” Hua Molan continued. “This area is a vast plain with snow all year round. If we fight here, we will have almost no room to maneuver.”

"Are there any other roads?" Lin Chen asked, looking at the map.

"What about the Liberty Canal?" Jiang Zhengge pointed to a line on the map.

"It's a choice."

As the sun sets, the map is enlarged, revealing the outline of the canal.

"Stealing a ship from the port and going directly along the canal to bypass Shirayakuran would also allow us to enter the Shirayakuran district."

“But the port won’t be easy to get into,” Lucy said. “Remember that raid on the cargo ship? Since then, the Red Gang’s company has taken over the water transport in that area. Now that things are in chaos, they will most likely treat the canal as their lifeline and guard it at all costs.”

“Charging into the port should be easier than being a target on the vast snowfield…” Lin Chen made his judgment. “However, charging in head-on would be too risky.”

“We need some allies,” Li Zhanyi said.

She and Lin Chen exchanged glances, and almost immediately thought of a suitable candidate.

"Cooperating with the Church of Mentis... that's no less risky than a direct assault on the port..."

......

"Chen Minghao, I remember you. You were Lin Chen's informant..."

In the port of Liberty District, as Louis watched Chen Minghao and his gang of Ratmen approach, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Now, he wears half a mask on his face, and the edges of the mask faintly reveal the marks of burns.

“I never expected to run into you here…” Louis shook his head.

“Are you going to pretend we don’t know each other, Director Louis?” Chen Minghao narrowed his eyes. “You’ve done a lot for us during the time when the rain capital was in ruins.”

“Really? I don’t remember,” Louis shook his head. “Maybe his men were reckless.”

He stepped forward and patted Chen Minghao on the shoulder.

“But at least now we’re partners,” he said. “The Bureau of Investigation will take you down soon, you’ll need asylum, and I need manpower.”

Chen Minghao's face showed some displeasure. He stared at Louis's face, and for some reason, anger welled up in his heart.

This beast betrayed the Investigation Bureau, which is why Lin Chen and the others have been stranded for so long.

It was precisely because Lin Chen lost power that Chen Minghao was forced to constantly lower his standards and get his hands dirty in order to survive with his brothers...

Ha, is this just making excuses for himself?

Chen Minghao laughed, a laugh tinged with self-mockery.

"What is our mission?" Chen Minghao asked in a low voice.

"It's very simple."

He stared directly into Hao Ge's eyes, a deep blue glint in them.

"Assist the Red Gang in defending the port."

......

Chapter Thirty: The Turmoil in Liberty District

"Gute Street is deserted; there's not a single person left."

Wang Pan tossed a report in front of Lin Chen and then sat down behind the desk.

“To be honest, this was expected,” he said. “Chen Minghao is a cunning gang leader with a keen sense of smell. As soon as he realized his backer had fallen, he ran away immediately.”

Lin Chen picked up the report, glanced at it, and felt a strange unease.

Chen Minghao is a cunning and treacherous old man.

He still found it hard to connect Brother Hao with the leader of the Rat Gang.

Brother Hao was not like this before. He could never betray Lin Chen. He even lost his job of more than ten years for Lin Chen and drifted away from home.

For a long time, Lin Chen regarded Brother Hao as someone he could entrust his life to.

No... can we really blame Brother Hao for this?

Lin Chen sighed softly.

"Don't rush to capture him," Lin Chen put down the report. "The recapture of Xiwang District and Mingzhutan District is entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, it's already underway," Wang Pan nodded. "The First Armed Division has already set off."

"So fast?" Lin Chen frowned.

"Yes, that martial arts fanatic's decisiveness... seems to be no less than yours."

Wang Pan snatched a can of cola from Lin Chen's table and forcefully pried it open.

"Crack!"

"Oh!"

As the exterior glass shattered, Tang Xiaoren swung the rope and plunged in—

"kill!!!"

"Da da da da! Da da da!"

She led the agents of the Armed Division 1 all the way to the top floor of Rain City Star, and then from the top floor down to the first floor, slaughtering all the rebels along the way, but she did not find even a trace of Louis.

"Pack up the clues, execute the prisoners directly, no need for interrogation, they are all expendable pawns."

Tang Xiaoren walked to the broken French window, looked down at the once prosperous Pearl Beach District, and pressed the earpiece.

"Chief, Louis has already taken his dog and left, most likely heading to the Liberty District."

“As expected,” Hua Molan said. “The Foundation’s current resources should all be focused on the forging of the ‘Abyss Crystal,’ so as their loyal dog, Louis will naturally be transferred away.”

"It's alright, let's just head to the Liberty District then." Tang Xiaoren said nonchalantly.

"Don't rush, we need to find a good entry point."

In the command and operations center, Hua Molan looked up and saw the Rapid Response Section 1, which had been fully prepared, walking in.

"Can we set off now?" Jiang Zhengge asked in a low voice.

“Our spies have found a way to safely enter the Liberty district,” Hua Molan said. “We are just waiting for you to be ready.”

“Let him do it,” Jiang Zhengge said.

Hua Molan nodded and pressed the headset button:

"Oswald, are you listening?"

"I've been listening the whole time."

In the banquet hall on the second floor of the Prosperity Hotel in the Liberty district, waiters dressed in black tuxedos stood in a corner, carrying plates.

He scanned the guests in the hall: well-dressed and radiant, they seemed untouched by the turmoil of the times, and even in the most turbulent district of Liberty, their lives impeccably maintained the basic etiquette of high society.

Oswald walked through the banquet hall carrying a plate, searching for his target.

He quickly found his target: the gang leader in the dark green suit with a thick beard.

Scott, the leader of the Green Gang.

The Green Gang, once one of the major gangs in the Liberty district, gradually declined under the test of time and eventually became a minor gang under the Red Gang.

They primarily control transportation along the borders of the Liberty district and are responsible for maintaining order along the borders during times of chaos.

Oswald slowly approached Scott, and when he was only a few steps away from the table, several bodyguards noticed his presence.

Just as they were about to stop Oswald, suddenly, the power went out—

"Snapped!"

"what's the situation?"

Chaos erupted in the banquet hall. Because the windows were reinforced with iron plates, not a single ray of light could penetrate.

Fortunately, the on-site logistics team was very efficient, and the power was restored in less than half a minute.

"Snapped!"

The two bodyguards looked ahead and realized that the waiter was gone.

Just then, a gasp came from behind them. The bodyguard turned around and found that Scott had disappeared from the table, and his young daughter was crying loudly.

"..."

“You have a daughter, you shouldn’t get involved in this mess.”

In the back alley, Scott was thrown to the ground and struggled to get up, but he couldn't muster the strength.

A handful of photos were thrown in front of him. He looked down and saw raindrops on the photos, blurring his incriminating evidence.

“Illegal transportation, human trafficking, supporting a terrorist regime—even in peacetime, you deserve a bullet.”

"Why are you telling me all this...?"

Scott looked up at the man in the rain.

Oswald stood before him, his disguise gone, revealing a pair of deep blue eyes that gleamed behind his bandaged face.

"Why not just kill me? Why say all this just to put your mind at ease?"

"So that you can die knowing why."

Oswald raised his silenced pistol and aimed it at Scott.

Scott smiled as he looked at the dark muzzle of the gun.

“Mrs. Redfield is using my daughter to blackmail me…” he murmured, “What would you do in her shoes?”

"..."

Oswald stared at Scott without saying a word.

As a thunderclap streaked across the sky, he pulled the trigger—

"Oh!"

"Crash..."

Raindrops fell in the back alley, washing the blood into the sewers.

Scott closed the manhole cover, straightened his dark green suit collar, and returned to the banquet hall.

"Sorry, sorry, I just saw a suspicious figure and instinctively chased after him, but he still got away."

He smiled as he responded to the bodyguards' concern, walked to the dining table, and picked up his daughter.
