The members of the Terrorist Mobile Team on the floating car had already noticed Brickâs unease, and they wanted to resolve the battle quickly.
[Falcon: The target is highly agile, requesting more firepower coverage.]
The second floating car had just cleared a stronghold and was now heading this way.
And just at that moment...
The Falcon pilot suddenly observed a sharply rising thermal reaction on the sensors, particularly conspicuous on that entire bombed-out streetâ
Just like the military-grade plasma gun in Brickâs right hand!
[Falcon: Jump out!]
The Scorpion-tailed Lion made an evasive maneuver at the last moment, but it was already too late!
If a cannonball could pierce the high-level protection of the Jianli Pharmaceutical Factory, it could totally pierce this armed floating car!
The unexpected plasma cannon shell smashed into the Scorpion-tailed Lion with the force of thunder, its armor shattering like thin ice, piercing directly through the vehicle and striking the fuel tank!
Boom!
The wreckage of the floating car was thrown by the tremendous force, and debris scattered across the surrounding streets and buildings!
The remnants of the plasma still dispersed in the air, the second approaching floating car realized the severity and was about to ascend, but Brick, who had already freed his hands, also pulled the trigger!
This time their evasive maneuver worked!
The Scorpion-tailed Lion violently side-flighted, its altitude dropping dozens of meters in an instant, veering towards the factory roof and nearly crashing!
Whoosh!
The powerful jet of the engine blackened the buildingâs surface, just barely stopping in time!
But the attack was far from over...
Zalia, who had been hiding on the wall, seized the moment, her lower legsâ enhanced Achilles tendon and expanding gas erupted, propelling her straight at the Scorpion-tailed Lion!
The members of the Terrorist Mobile Team spotted a very fast woman swinging a thermal Mantis Blade at them!
Shwing!
The machine gun was instantly chopped in half!
Zaliaâs thermal Mantis Blade didnât hit the members of the Terrorist Mobile Team, but her body spun high in the air, swinging leg blades like dancing, and instantly split open a memberâs helmet!
In the confined space, the remaining members also activated their Si Anweisitan, intending to restrain this cybernetic psychopathâ
But they had no chance anymore!
On the ground, Brick and Carter simultaneously pulled the triggers of their plasma guns!
Boom!
Within five minutes, two Scorpion-tailed Lions had crashed!
Flames reflected off the crazy cheeks of the two brothers from Vortex Gangâ
That was indeed the true color of Vortex Gang!
Any piece of technology, they dared to grab it and use it directly; any equipment, in their hands, could explode with power far beyond the basic hardwareâ
The oldest thugs in Night City!
...
The crashes of the two Scorpion-tailed Lions were quite spectacular, the glare of the explosion probably visible from Company Square.
Outside the Whole Foods factory, both sides of the Vortex Gang had ceased firing, and so had Royce.
And this scene had left him speechless.
He was sweating cold sweat.
How could such a level of force end up in the hands of that old coward Brick?!
It wasnât just him, the other underlings in the factory were all bewildered, yet amidst their confusion was also excitement.
Vortex Gang... isnât this what they do?!
Looking again at Royce, this old, fat guy seemed no longer qualified to be the boss...
"Look at your fucking mother!" Royce bellowed fiercely, before turning and walking towards the interior of the factoryâ
What else could they do.
[Recipient: Brick]
[Royce: I admit defeat! Youâre the boss!]
However, this message, when intercepted and altered by Lille, soon turned into:
[Royce: You old fuck! Iâm waiting for you at the Whole Foods factory!]
Consequently, the message Royce received was...
[Brick: Fucker, wait to die!]
Royceâs legs went weak, he huffed in frantic anger, and quickly walked towards the garage...
If not now, when to run?
Just thinking about it, he felt lost:
He had initially just wanted to usurp the position.
He thought that if that old fool Brick was killed by military technology, he could smoothly take over. How nice that would have been.
Yet now, the situation had turned into this.
The Vortex Gang probably had less than two thousand members; who knew if even two hundred would remain after tonight...
It was crucial to flee.
Escaping was not shameful; previously, when the Tiger Claw Gang was badly beaten, quite a few of their members had run over and mixed with them.
It was wise to ask that big brother about this fleeing matter...
After all, he was a master at escaping. It was his first time, after all.
