City of Vice (Third Section: Road of Death)

  "There's only one room that's relatively comfortable, it's the officer's single dormitory. I'll clean up and you can move in." Yu Fei started cleaning his own room, throwing away the trash before taking a bag of his luggage to Wen Yong's room. Ya Yun carried her luggage into the officer's dormitory, which was more comfortable than she had imagined, with air conditioning and necessary furniture.

  Wen Yong's dormitory had two beds, and after Yu Fei moved in, he put his things on one side. Before Wen Yong could ask, Yu Fei said: "I'm not moving in to live with you, I'll be leaving the barracks in a few days, I want to find a place outside, there's an extra person here, we need to be more careful, immediately take all the people from the detention room in the barracks to the prison next door, the cleaner the barracks are, the better."

  "Don't worry about this, I can handle it. The people we've caught all have fingerprints on file here, but even if everything goes smoothly and they're tried, they won't get more than a few years in prison. We don't have enough evidence in our hands, so we need to take them to the state judicial department's fingerprint identification center to extract their fingerprints for a nationwide police inquiry. I think the crimes they've committed aren't just gambling and possession of firearms. As long as they leave this place, no one will know what we've done. If those people accuse us of not feeding them and slowly uncover the truth, then our futures will be ruined. We'll be kicked out of the military and the crime syndicate will continue to control this dirty city." Wen Yong had a clear view of the whole situation - they were doing illegal things to eliminate crime, but their opponents weren't fools either. Once they let the criminals talk nonsense, outsiders would definitely start criticizing the constabulary.

  "Alright, I'll go with you, just get ready." Yu Fei felt that this was also a good idea. Of course, these people wouldn't tell outsiders that the constabulary had mistreated them, because they still had an ace up their sleeve. He picked up his phone and called Xu Huaiqing, telling him to help clean up some trash and to prepare the most powerful weapons.

  "Beautiful woman, we're going to work again, and we have to deal with a lot of people. Let's start choosing our weapons." Xu Huaqing took out several boxes from the bottom cabin of the ship. Some were ammunition boxes. Based on her experience, Lissa recognized what those boxes were for. Although she had never seen them in real life, she had seen them in old movies like "Iron Blooded Warriors". Many movies featured the kind of weapon Xu Huaqing was fiddling with - an M134 machine gun that fired bullets by rotating six barrels. In "The Matrix", this machine gun was mounted next to the door of a plane, its terrifying firing speed could turn unprotected people into mush, and even those wearing bulletproof vests in lightly armored vehicles were in danger.

  Xu Huaiqing inspected the machine gun and confirmed that there was no problem, then checked the power source and ammunition box. Lisa looked at the terrifying machine gun, "They're not even in an armored vehicle, what's the point of using such a heavy weapon? An M249 would be enough to handle it, how tiring is it to carry this thing around? How many people are they going to deal with?"

  "There are many targets, so to be sure we use armor-piercing bullets." Xu Huaiqing continued to sit and prepare meticulously. In a warehouse several kilometers away from his sailboat, someone else was also busy preparing. Ding Yan was assembling his favorite MK46 machine gun. The 200-round belt of ammunition was all tracer rounds. He had also installed a silencer on the muzzle of the gun. After all, they were going to secretly kill their own people, so why make such a big noise?

  A middle-aged man wearing a suit and sunglasses got out of an armored Mercedes-Benz, "How's the preparation going? This time they're taking all the suspects to collect DNA samples. If it succeeds, it won't be just a matter of being locked up in prison for a few years, but possibly spending their whole lives behind bars or facing the death penalty. The things they've done have always been beyond the police's reach because the police can't pinpoint the target. If the garrison succeeds this time, many cases will be solved and all local gangs and societies will be finished, including us."

  "Boss, we just smuggled some high-end cars and auto parts, is it that serious? Smuggling these things won't get us the death penalty, at most it's just a decade or so in prison. Why kill so many people?" Ding Yan continued to inspect his weapon at a leisurely pace, while the middle-aged man took off his sunglasses and lit a cigar. "Our cars were sold to some unreliable people, they used our cars to knock off their enemies, transport drugs, even kidnap and murder with our cars on. And they knocked off quite a few cops who refused to cooperate with them. If I get caught by the military police, all my lifetime earnings will be gone in an instant."

  "Can't we just find someone professional to launder the money and make it clean?" Ding Yan put down his gun and sat on a box of bullets, he took out his pistol and checked it once, feeling secure, he stopped fiddling with his weapon. The middle-aged man smoking a cigar said: "To outsiders, I'm also part of the underworld, but actually, I'm cleaner than them. I don't lend money at high interest rates or bully ordinary people. I rarely bribe police officers either. There's a difference between me and them. You've been with me for over two years now, have you seen anyone under my command who would resort to violence?" He pointed to his own head, implying that he made his living through intelligent crime rather than violence.

  "If you get rid of them, then you won't be clean either. Those remnants will still come to find you for revenge." Ding Yan looked at the cigar in his boss's hand, which was emitting a faint smoke. The middle-aged man said: "The constabulary arrested all the thugs, they were all brainless guys. If they died, this city would be safer, and I wouldn't have to pay them protection fees anymore. I still have several shops, and I don't want my son to be kidnapped or my daughter to be harassed by too many hoodlums. Those thugs are all scoundrels, you won't need to feel guilty when you kill them. Besides, everyone knows that I do smuggling business, but there's no one under me who can fight and kill. I've never used violence before, just this once, for two reasons: self-protection and making a contribution to the local community."

  "Why don't you become a knight-errant and take care of them once and for all?"

  "In this city, the one thing that can't be tolerated is justice. No one can change this situation, it's just that the constabulary does a great job, I really appreciate them. If they were to investigate me for smuggling, I'd just pay the taxes I owe and that would be the end of it. I could still return to the right path without having to spend money on those idiots. You go quickly and come back quickly, don't expose yourself. After it's done, you can stay at my house as a bodyguard, if you run away, the police will only become suspicious." The middle-aged man returned to his car and drove away from the warehouse.

  Ding Yan took out a few menthol candies and put them in his mouth, after feeling slightly cool, he packed the machine gun into his bag and drove away from the warehouse. The unmanned aerial vehicle flying above the city center was advertising for a car dealership, but Ding Yan had already installed cameras and data transmission equipment on it, so he could use the aircraft to survey areas he wanted to know about by opening his handheld computer. Several kilometers away from the aircraft, the garrison of the constabulary had opened its gates, and several buses carrying suspects came out, with all the local ruffians, thugs, and killers caught by the constabulary on board. It was time for him to take action, so he stuffed a few M72 rocket launchers into his large bag and drove a modified sedan towards the city center.

  The Provincial Department of Justice is a long way from the Garrison, so Ding Yan arrived early in his modified car on the road that the Garrison's motorcade had to take. He saw that the driver of the passenger car seemed to be a Garrison soldier and felt that things were not going well. What if he accidentally killed a soldier? Wouldn't that cause trouble? The Garrison would investigate him, so to reduce this trouble, he had to create some trouble for them and make the Garrison leave the commandeered bus.

  Ding Yan sat in his car, holding an MK46 machine gun. He aimed at a passing bus and opened fire. The bus's tires immediately went flat, and the vehicle was unable to move forward normally. The tense constabulary immediately slammed on the brakes, then got out of the bus with M-16 rifles, inspecting the tires before running to the side of the road to investigate where the bullets were coming from. Several driving constables also got out of their cars, holding guns and standing guard by the roadside. Their movements were still very professional. He muttered to himself, "Now you're safe, just lie down immediately." He picked up a bag with rocket launchers and got out of the car.

  The garden by the road was deserted, and no one was loitering around during working hours. Ding Yan took out a rocket launcher, opened the safety catch, and directly aimed at the bus full of prisoners, opening fire. After firing the M72 rocket launcher, he discarded it to the side - a disposable rocket launcher could be thrown away after use, and the empty launch tube was useless. He calmly picked up the second rocket launcher and fired again. At this time, the constabulary were stunned by the massive explosion, seeing for the first time someone using a rocket launcher to attack a vehicle. Several rockets came in succession, and the bus full of prisoners was turned into a fireball. The gasoline inside the car ignited violently after the explosion, and many prisoners with handcuffs and shackles screamed as they emerged from the burning car, their bodies on fire. Ding Yan was also surprised by these people's survival ability - the rocket launcher couldn't kill them in one hit, and the fire didn't burn them to death immediately.

  Before the motorcade departed, Yu Fei told the gendarme driving that in case of danger, he should immediately get out of the vehicle. He didn't have any extra bulletproof vests to reinforce the protective capability of the bus driver's seat. He had already authorized Xu Huaiqing to shoot and kill these suspects who might accuse him. However, he did not expect the rocket-propelled grenade to destroy both people and vehicle so easily. He thought it was done by Xu Huaiqing and his assistant. Seeing the explosion scene from inside the armored car, Yu Fei was not very surprised. He just looked at Wen Yong, who grabbed the intercom and shouted: "Do not open fire, confirm the location of the rocket attack."

  "Now no one knows we're starving them half to death to make them confess." Wen Yong put down the walkie-talkie and whispered, Yu Fei let out a long sigh, he commanded through the walkie-talkie, "Soldiers who have already gotten off the vehicle surround the location where the rocket was fired, others stay in the vehicle and wait for further instructions, don't move, there may be people who still want to deal with us."

  Xu Huaiqing, who had just arrived at the top floor of a rotten building, looked at the explosion scene in surprise.：City of Sin
