Just as he expected, within five minutes of the alarm sounding, a large number of inspectors had gathered near the city walls along the border—of course, there would be more than two guards in such a place; they were just unlucky.
Unlike the wildness of the "Forgotten Ones," the members of the Inspection Bureau who came to provide support were much more organized, wearing uniform protective suits and carrying brand-new equipment.
As for the person leading the team... it wasn't Tang Shuang, the director of the Inspection Bureau, but her adjutant, Yu Xingchuan.
"One warning. Stand back now, and we will not pursue your unrest!"
The adjutant's voice came through the loudspeaker, "Otherwise, the Inspection Bureau will suppress you with firepower!"
Her well-intentioned attempts to dissuade her were ineffective; all she received in response was the whistling of bullets.
Upon closer inspection, these "forgotten ones" all had red eyes and were glaringly angry; they were completely oblivious to what was being said.
"...Fire!"
Seeing this, Yu Xingchuan understood the situation. "Maintain formation and intercept the enemy from all directions!"
At her command, the dark mass of inspectors instantly dispersed and took up their positions.
It really happened in the blink of an eye—the Bureau of Investigation recruited "promoted individuals," whose qualities were already extraordinary.
In addition, their tactical-grade enhancement chips make them move so fast that they are almost impossible to detect.
Under their offensive, the Forsaken's forces encountered great resistance and were unable to advance any further.
"...Don't panic, hold on!"
Zhao Yuan paused for a moment, clearly shocked by the scale of the inspection bureau's presence.
The weapons the other side carried were similar to theirs, and were not the standard firearms developed by Night City itself that they had seen before.
Instead, it was a firearm that incorporated the Rusty Mist technology of the Forsaken, but he could tell from just one exchange that it was of even better quality!
Impact force, accuracy, durability... it surpasses them in every aspect. Even the small combat drones hovering in the sky are firing high-concentration "rust fog" crystal bullets!
Moreover, it is an improved ammunition—the "Rusty Mist" crystal bullet differs from ordinary bullets in that it injects an excessive amount of "Rusty Mist" into the human body instantly, thereby triggering corrosive mutations and causing damage.
It may not be noticeable against ordinary people, but its effect becomes apparent when facing "Ascended" beings with high defense.
Just like those two unlucky guys, before they died, their bodies were corroded and changed color, and their bodies shrank into a ball, making their deaths quite tragic.
However, the ammunition provided by the inspection bureau is not limited to this. In addition, after the victim dies, the body will rapidly expand, and after a brief pause, it will explode, releasing a large amount of harmful gas after the impact!
This alone is enough to disrupt the Forsaken's formation, and their protective suits and masks are simply ineffective against them!
On the contrary, their bullets were easily stopped by the protective suits of the inspectors—those must be force field armor? Holy crap…
Moreover, that's not all... The fact is that the clashes are not limited to long-range shooting exchanges; there are also close-quarters hand-to-hand combats. The frontline soldiers have already come into contact with each other, further escalating the chaos of the battle.
The level of gore has also risen to another level—whether it's speed or strength, the "Twin" enhancement chip amplifies everyone's abilities significantly, and those who know, know what close combat will be like.
Even the strongest punch is unlikely to kill someone, but a steel ball hurtling towards you at 120 yards per second would definitely kill you... that's roughly the idea.
But in close combat, the "Forgotten Ones" were also at a disadvantage... This puzzled Zhao Yuan greatly, because his men were not equipped with "twins," but with second-generation enhanced chips that had been smuggled out of the city not long ago.
This should be on par with the inspection bureau, right? They shouldn't be being suppressed...
While he was puzzled, he finally noticed a small detail.
The inspectors' protective suits seemed to have something attached to them—it looked like a syringe? And after injecting the drug inside, their abilities underwent a qualitative leap.
This is... a performance-enhancing drug?
Zhao Yuan didn't know what it was.
Of course he didn't know. The fact is, very few people knew about the "Prism's" development of "Sublimation." At least, these "Forgotten Ones" stationed outside the city had no way of obtaining such secret information...
He was even less aware that the people in the investigation bureau were only equipped with the first-generation "twin" chip, which was used in conjunction with the "sublimation" drug—the superiority of the second-generation drug over the second-generation chip was already quite evident.
But he knew that if things continued this way, he would face a crushing defeat!
So without hesitation, he gritted his teeth and turned the chip's power to its maximum, while simultaneously injecting three concentrated stimulants into his body.
"roar--"
A beast-like roar suddenly echoed across the battlefield. Turning around, Zhao Yuan's face was contorted in pain.
Then his body began to swell, his muscles burst, and black spikes like ice crystals sprouted from his body.
In just a few breaths, he transformed from a burly man into a complete monster!
",What's this……"
The ugly appearance clearly startled everyone present, especially the inspectors.
Before they could react, Zhao Yuan leaped off the front of the car, his claws flashing out and instantly breaking through the defenses, slicing them in half.
