"Large-scale armed resistance detected... Threat level elevated... Execute... Cleanup order!"

The cannon barrel on the executioner's chest began to charge again! Blue-white light rapidly gathered deep within the muzzle!

"Don't even think about it!" the tall man roared! With ghostly speed, he rolled on the spot, dodging a passing laser beam and simultaneously raising the ferocious heavy crossbow on his back again! This time, he didn't shoot at the Executioner in the sky, but instead aimed at a crumbling metal tower made of huge abandoned cooling towers at the edge of this "graveyard"!

Boom——! ! !

The crossbow string emitted an extremely dull resounding sound! A thick crossbow arrow, with a special device at the end and wrapped with a fuse, tore through the air and shot with incredible precision at the connection of a long-rusted main support beam at the bottom of the cooling tower, which was bearing an enormous weight!

Boom——!!!

A violent explosion, accompanied by the wail of ripping metal, echoed simultaneously! The support beam was completely ripped apart by the explosives on the crossbow! The massive cooling tower, having lost its crucial support point, let out a teeth-grinding metallic groan and began to slowly, with unstoppable momentum, toppling towards the area where the executioner was suspended.

"Get out of the way--!!!" The man yelled at Wen Shifei and the soldiers rushing out of the lower city!

Wen Shifei reacted the moment the man opened fire and roared! A huge shock and a hint of ecstasy at having escaped a desperate situation hit her heart! The lower city! It was the people in the lower city who were resisting! She didn't know if "Old Gun" was among them, but at this moment, these angry figures were their only barrier!

She unleashed her last bit of potential, using all her strength to drag the unconscious Ajie and pounced on a nearby bunker, half-buried in the ground and made of thick alloy plates!

Boom boom boom——!!!

Like a mountain collapsing! The massive cooling tower crashed down with immense force! Smoke and dust rose into the sky! Scorching steam and broken pipes danced like the tentacles of death! Several soldiers from the lower city, unable to evade the impact, were instantly swept up in the torrent of collapsing steel, unable even to utter a scream! But more firepower points, under the man's precise command (or perhaps instinctive roar), successfully evaded the impact and unleashed an even more violent barrage of bullets and energy beams at the executioners, whose formation was thrown into disarray by the collapsed tower and even partially buried by the rubble!

"Hit their joints! Hit the thrusters! Hit those damn red eyes!" The man's roar was still clear amid the explosions and gunfire, full of iron-blooded and violent wisdom.

The battle instantly entered its most brutal, chaotic, and intense phase! Using crude weapons, their flesh and blood, and their familiarity with this filthy land, the soldiers of the Lower City engaged in a desperate struggle with the Executioners, who represented the fortress's ultimate killing technology! Every explosion was accompanied by flying flesh and blood and the wailing of metal!

Wen Shifei huddled behind the bunker, desperately protecting Ajie, her shotgun pointed at the bunker entrance, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She looked out at the hellish scene outside, at the figures roaring toward death, tears mingling with blood silently streaming down her face. Was it hope? Or... dragging more people into the abyss of destruction? She didn't know.

At this moment, an agile figure rushed into the recess of the bunker where she was hiding like a civet cat, bringing in a strong smell of gunpowder and blood.

It was that tall man! He was breathing heavily, his mask stained with dust and blood, and the canvas jacket on one arm was torn, revealing a deep burn underneath that was visible to the bone. But his eyes were still cold and sharp, like a wounded lone wolf.

He didn't even look at Wen Shifei, his eyes fell directly on the unconscious and dying Ajie, his brows tightly furrowed.

"He's dying." The man's voice was still hoarse through the mask, but it was less cold and more solemn.

"I know... I know..." Wen Shifei's voice was filled with tears, "Please... save him! We need to find 'Old Gun'! Only he can..."

"Shut up!" The man interrupted her rudely, his eyes scraping across Wen Shifei's face like a knife, "I don't know if 'Old Gun' can save him! But I know that if we stay here any longer, we will all be buried with the chaebol's dogs!" He suddenly looked up at the increasingly fierce battlefield outside. The Executioner, whose energy shield was finally overloaded and collapsed after being continuously fired upon, was being hit by several rockets at close range. His huge body staggered back, and dazzling flames exploded on his armor!

"Listen, woman!" The man grabbed Wen Shifei's shoulders with such force that it hurt her, staring at her with cold eyes. "If you want to live and save your companions, do as I say! Take him with you and follow me! Now! Immediately! Right now!"
