The two stopped arguing shortly after they started. The team Angelina led was composed of 20 people and 4 hover cars, with an average of five officer on duty in each car. Their equipment included four photoelectric hand grenades, one timing device, ten automatic rifles with unexchanged bullets, and two laser guns. After the squad had picked up their gear, Angelina hit the accelerator and disappeared into the snowy world...

Behind them, more than a hundred soldiers entered the armory one after another. These personnel were all on duty at different points, each team was led by a disciplinary committee member.

Sheng Qiangwei was in the third car. The men in the back, who she didn't know, were very outgoing and were happily chatting... They kept talking about their dreams for the future as if merely touching a gun turned them into super-soldiers, which rendered Sheng Qiangwei speechless.

The quietly sitting Sheng Qiangwei, on the other hand, was extraordinarily serene. People realized that apart from arguing, this girl was quite a quiet and straightforward person.

Whizzing past! Four speeding bulletproof magnetic hover cars came rushing by, the strong wind raised the snow from the ground...

The duty points were divided between coordinates Y9-502, Y9-503, Y9-504, UX-001, and G9-134. The last two coordinates were relatively far. This was taken into consideration due to Angelina leading the team.

Of course, there was no need to be overly wary. Usually, patrol duties involved catching poachers, escaped criminals, or Shadow District hoodlums. Angelina paid close attention to the surrounding dynamics based on the feedback from the Sky Network's timing device. What concerned her most was the Scorpio Organization. As long as they didn't encounter those people, things would usually go smoothly.

Meanwhile, in an underground base in the Shadow District, Monroe was methodically brewing his plan. The federation's actions in the Shadow District had directly caused significant economic loss for him.

The Scorpio Organization had been in the Shadow District for over twenty years. They maintained a policy of non-interference with the government. As long as the refugees paid their protective taxes regularly, he wouldn't trouble them. At least he wouldn't bother the men, the women were another story... Of course, women who did not pay protection taxes could live safely in another way, while most men who did not pay would disappear forever by the Narmas Glacier River.

In fact, even Monroe didn't know how many skeletons were piled up in Narmas, he only knew that it was a gathering place for piranhas, an invasive species.

However, the federal government's recent carpet-sweeping actions had thoroughly angered Monroe, the lion. Although he was on the wanted list, the federal government hadn't done anything to him over the years, right?

With the failure of the Heart of the Butterfly, there was no more peace here. Monroe was only interested in money, and his cooperation with that idiot woman was just a temporary consensus. He provided Heart of the Butterfly with technical support, and Heart of the Butterfly eliminated the competition he wanted to get rid of.

After years of hard work, recent federal actions had disrupted his layout. In this lawless area, population decline would lead to the collapse of the virtuous cycle. Where would his taxes come from? Where would he sell his drugs? His slowly woven web would only slowly wither, making Monroe's violent emotions have nowhere to vent.

Over the years, he had not made his way to the top through lip service. Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Monroe's iron-fist methods were notoriously ruthless in the underworld, which is why he had managed to reach this high position.

The Scorpio Organization had been in the Shadow District for over twenty years; it was the number one criminal organization in the district. This elusive, mysterious organization existed only in archival records. No one could actually find its lair. Several member organizations grew under this big tree called Scorpio, and spread gradually...

Trying to find its location by tracing the path would be a mistake. The internal system of that organization had a rigorous hierarchy system. He was like a puddle of ink, once you got stained, you would never be able to clean it off. If anyone wanted to leave, their family would be involved. Of course, you could also bite and break the poison capsule, but only the Scorpio core members had the privilege of being implanted with poison capsules. Even so, this group of lower-levels had zero chance of reaching the core area; the gap was vast.

Today was the day of Monroe's counterattack; Monroe had been preparing, from the moment the first patrol car left Wind Thunder. He believed it was necessary to give the authorities a small hint, for them to reconsider their action plan for the Shadow District.

Coordinates UX-001 were far from Wind Thunder. An hour later, just as the four hover cars were about to reach UX-001, a shiny object suddenly appeared in Angelina's line of sight.

What is... Angelina was stunned. Her extensive experience told her that a light spot should not appear out of nowhere in a desolate patrol point. She should turn the steering wheel immediately.

"Get out of the way!" Her cry suddenly came through the communicator. At that moment, Angelina had lost her usual indifference, her beautiful face filled with seriousness.

The first hover car dangerously skirted the attack, while the rocket tracked the third hover car passing by, boom...

The rocket hit the side wing of the third magnetic hover car. With a blast, a burst of flames suddenly lit up the snowy wilderness...

Despite the military-grade bulletproof equipment of the hover car, it was limited and could not fully resist the impact of the rocket blast. The hover car Sheng Qiangwei was in was blown off directly by the shock wave.

Since the car's armor was fortified, it didn't explode immediately. The trainee on the side, however, suffered the brunt of the blast and spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously being internally injured and unlikely to survive.

The other people were only slightly better off. The ones in the best condition were the old soldier driving and Sheng Qiangwei; this was due to their long-term training. Despite this, they also suffered a significant shock.

Angelina didn't expect things to turn out this way. This was beyond what an ordinary gang could do, what was happening?

There was no time to think too much about it. She quickly activated her timing device, one of the essential pieces of equipment every patrol officer had to carry.

"This is Wind Thunder's patrol team one, we've come under artillery fire in the outer Shadow District at coordinates UX-001, eight o'clock direction. Urgent back up required, repeat..."

Alpha's Special Intelligence Department and Wind Thunder received Angelina's urgent message simultaneously. At the same time, the timing device of the remaining nine patrol teams was also flashing non-stop...

"The nearest armed forces have already set off at full speed, estimated arrival time is seven minutes." Angelina's timing device quickly received a response from an intelligence officer.

It was unclear what the opponent had equipped; nobody was sure about holding up for seven minutes under these conditions. But looking at the hover car that had been turned over in the distance, Angelina knew she couldn't wait, "You drive, give me the equipment."
