I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 99

Although Milis was somewhat wary of what Du Jue had said about Gan Jian, the fighting had already begun at the fortress, and it would be unwise for them to stay behind enemy lines.

"go!"

Chapter 146: Melee.

Looking back at the group that had decisively retreated, Du Jue was very puzzled that they had even abandoned the operation to support the fortress. The judge Gan Jian seemed different from the other members of Vacuum Fist.

However, he quickly regained his senses and turned his head to see Section Chief Shao, wielding a large golden-patterned broadsword, violently blasting open a high steel wall covered with barbed wire.

Hey!

Such destructive power is truly befitting of the Six Associations' style.

"Wen Duo, you were alright when you dealt with Gan Jian, weren't you? That guy is a judge. I originally wanted to bring people to support you, but when I saw you standing there alone, I didn't dare to go up and disturb you."

Milis drove the car to the nearby wasteland and then ordered the interception team to quickly join the frontal offensive.

Du patted the ash off his chest. His rapier wounds had mostly healed, and even the injuries from the explosion he had caused were almost completely healed. He immediately replied firmly, "No problem, let's catch up with Section Chief Shao."

Miris looked at Du Jue, who was rushing forward, with surprise. He wanted to tell Du Jue to wait. He had been injured in the thigh by the two executives in the melee, and his right trouser leg was stained red. But his strong sense of pride did not allow him to show weakness at this moment.

"Yaqi, you stay here and take care of these two seriously injured people. The rest of you, follow Wenduo with me!"

Crackling!

Upon entering the fortress, Du Jue immediately heard the sounds of burning all around, as well as the orderly and continuous firing of guns. A large number of Six Associations' cleanup crew and Vacuum Fist members had no energy to maintain their formation, and the entire fortress was engulfed in fierce fighting.

Just when Du Jue was at a loss as to where to provide support, Milis, who arrived late, anxiously called out, "Wen Duo, please follow me to meet up with Shao. I didn't have time to explain the detailed strategic deployment to you before because of an unexpected interception mission."

Putting away the spiral gun, Du Jue immediately gripped the Crusher with both hands and swung it to the right, blocking several exploding bullets head-on. The two bullets that missed only left some dents and charred ash on the white armor. He then sped across the chaotic battlefield.

"Climb up the iron ladder on the right!"

Milis fought off the three executors who came up to him before hurriedly catching up with Du Jue.

He was clearly the guide and should have been at the forefront, but the heavy crushers easily crushed any approaching enemies. Even the executive officer in charge couldn't stop them in the slightest. Milis, who couldn't keep up, could only helplessly shout for directions from behind.

Bang!

Du Jue, who had been speeding along, stepped onto the large platform at the top of the fortress and saw Section Chief Shao confronting the man with the afro. Behind him, Milis, panting heavily, hurriedly explained, "That guy is Executive Officer Geo, who was a mercenary representative in the Smoke and Haze War."

"The Grand Executor, Grand Recorder, and Grand Judge of the Vacuum Fist are all the same person, so these Executors are already the highest-level enemies we need to deal with. But don't be careless! That guy has just as many medals as the Judge we just faced!"

Even without Milis saying anything, Du Jue could clearly see that Geo was only wearing a black vest, with medals embedded in circles on his arms, which, without close inspection, might even be mistaken for some kind of large-area tattoo.

Seeing Wen Duo and the rest of the cleanup crew catching up, Jiao disdainfully tore open his vest and ordered the executives behind him, along with the executive director, to step forward. "Hmph, Six Association, were you sent here to your deaths by Thumb? I expected this!"

Shao, who cautiously stepped back, did not respond. Regardless of whether the client was related to Thumb, leaking such information was not permitted.

However, Du Jue, after putting her blindfold back on, keenly noticed that the medals on Jeo's arms were faintly glowing with a familiar red light, which was the power suppression of the Vacuum Fist!

Growing increasingly arrogant, Jay kicked the six corpses off the platform, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glanced contemptuously at all the cleanup crew. "You bunch of hyenas who kill for money are more despicable and lowly than any gang. You're just sticks for big shots to stir up trouble in the city."

"Now even gangs can give you orders. You lackeys don't even dare to fight us! With Executive Officer Geo's power, kill all this trash!"

Even ordinary members of the Six Associations noticed that the blood-red light on the enemy's medals was unusually strong, and a huge sense of oppression was overwhelming. Even though it was weakened by moonstone, it was still unsettling.

Shao, whose eyes narrowed, noticed something was amiss and was about to speak when he heard Du Jue's powerful voice from behind.

"Is this your reason for sending Gandalf to his death at a branch camp?! Knowing full well that he would be targeted, you still sacrificed those people to try to divert the pressure, even resorting to the wicked method of strapping people with bombs!"

"After sacrificing this one, you brainwash another idiot executive to his death. You're not even tools; you're just a bunch of lambs for the big executives! Your only purpose is to soak the city's roads in blood!"

"I imagine your remains would proudly puff out their chests if they saw the Grand Executive Officer living a leisurely life in his lair, wouldn't they? At least the Association is maintaining order in the city, not someone's villa!"

Instead of angrily interrupting Du Jue who was stepping forward, Section Chief Shao gripped his Guan Dao and took a half-step back, turning his head to look at this famous Lone Wolf Cleaner with surprise.

Du Jue didn't notice Shao's actions, only because he saw the blood-red light on the executor badges gradually dimming, and even the faint sense of oppression he felt had lessened considerably.

He never expected that this so-called suppression of power could be strengthened and weakened through verbal attacks. No wonder Thumb couldn't defeat these veterans of the Smog War. Those guys with deeply ingrained hierarchical ideas couldn't possibly refute him. With the balance of power shifting, it would definitely be difficult to fight them.

Bang!

The overwhelming force of the punches, far exceeding anything he had ever seen before, caused him to reflexively activate his blood pump, and the crusher also generated a fierce gust of wind.

With a savage grin, Jiao used his fist to brace against the saw teeth of the crusher, then his left fist, veins bulging, slammed towards Du Jue's head. "Kid, you were still suckling when I went into battle! You have no right to speak here!"

Boom!

The violent brass knuckles, which are usually unremarkable compared to Jeo's fist, suddenly generate an extremely strong impact upon contact, and the violent air turbulence presses the flames down to the ground.

"What is this stuff?!"

Jay stared incredulously at the golden brass knuckles of Du Jue, which were adorned with black medals embedded in the four knuckles of his fist.

This kid wasn't killed by my punch, and he actually turned around and fought back against me!

Seeing this, Shao, who was blocking the other executives and judges, immediately shouted to Milis, "Milis, take some men and stop the others!" He then suddenly retreated and turned around, sweeping out his powerful Guan Dao.

Bang!

Geo hurriedly raised his hand to block, but in the blink of an eye, he was caught in the crossfire and attacked by the two. Then, Du Jue thrust a spiral spear straight into his abdomen. He immediately roared, "With the power and duty of Executive Officer Geo, I will kill you!"

The medals on his body suddenly throbbed, like tiny hearts. Vague, purplish-red gauntlets appeared on his arms. The next moment, he unleashed a powerful uppercut, sending Shao, who was wielding a guandao, flying into the air and off the top platform.

"Shao!"

Du Jue was shocked to see this. This place was four or five hundred meters long. If he fell hard, even a first-level finisher would need a long time to recover, let alone in this dangerous battlefield. He immediately raised his hand and threw out a bundle of workshop wire.

"Hmph! I've been a member of Vacuum Fist for over five years! This punch represents five years of experience; crushing scum like you is just one of my duties!"

Another punch came at Du Jue, but unfortunately, the crusher's main body was made of super-heavy alloy, and Du Jue, who had stabilized his center of gravity, only took a few steps back.

At the edge of the platform, Shao calmly swung his Guan Dao to stop himself by the wall. Seeing the silk thread falling from above, he immediately grabbed it, flipped back to the ground, and looked up to see Du Jue pulling the workshop's binding wire, lifting him into the air.

Shao immediately shouted, "Wen Duo! Attack his bottom lane!" He then did a somersault and slashed at Jiao's head.

She had already noticed that the area around the medallions embedded in the Vacuum Fist members was extremely hard, but the defense in other areas was relatively low.

puff!

Before Jeo could react, the unstoppable, ferocious serrated teeth fiercely tore at the flesh around his waist, instantly crushing even the hardest bones. Just before it was about to sever his waist, Jeo's crimson fists slammed down, deflecting the attack.

With his abdomen and waist mangled and covered in blood, Jiao lay sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, his body stained crimson with blood.

"Damn it, company dog! Cough cough cough!"

147

Answer to Chapter 147.

"With the authority of Executive Officer Geo, everyone protect me!"

Reaching out, he pushed the protruding intestines back in, and the ferocious-looking Geo immediately retreated, with a large number of executors blocking the pursuers.

Without hesitation, Shao gave the order, and the six association's cleanup crew immediately got entangled with those people. He turned to Wen Duo and shouted, "Wen Duo! I'll hold off those judges and executive officers!"

Upon hearing this, Du Jue knew that the battle was nearing its end, and all that remained was to behead Jie Ao!

"I heard most of you Vacuum Fist members are veterans? What, are you thinking of switching careers and becoming deserters now?"

Du Jue's sarcastic remarks were merely an attempt to attract Jie'ao's attention, but he noticed that Jie'ao's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he was staring intently at him.

"What the hell do you know?!"

Jeo flung open the military-green wooden crate and roared, "The Smoke War, a great war involving several Worldwings, where some Worldwings fell and new Worldwings rose as a result—it sounds magnificent and grand! But damn it, it's us who died!"

Swish!

The four vials of green injections were held between Jay's fingers; he was so excited that the veins on his face were bulging.

"I led that bunch of idiots to work their butts off for K Company, and the last time we gathered, they went to demand our unpaid wages, damn it!"

"But the even more idiotic higher-ups decided to use our remaining payment as a deposit to hire a more elite mercenary team. How could a bunch of wounded and disabled people fight against them? We also had to evade other enemies, and we didn't even finish until we reached the monster-infested suburbs!"

Jor viciously injected all the syringes into his right arm, then grabbed two more red and two more yellow syringes from the wooden crate and injected them into his left arm, completely disregarding the dosage.

"This kind of life is worse than that of dogs! Since the city is so stingy with even half a doghouse for us soldiers who have escaped from the battlefield, then we'll just go back to the battlefield!"

"With the authority of Executive Officer Geo, I demand that you fulfill your duty to fight to the death, until the enemy is crushed!"

Du Jue stared wide-eyed at the almost frenzied executors, who no longer cared about their injuries and launched a frenzied counterattack. Geo even swelled up a size and strode wildly toward him.

boom!

The burning branding flames immediately caused Geo to stagger a few steps in pain. He then endured the pain and fought fiercely with Du Jue. The heavy and loud collision sounds echoed on the platform like war drums, making everyone's hearts pound.

"In those moments of uncertainty, we couldn't even answer what we were supposed to do tomorrow! Only the fist of Sumeru Void gave me the answer, gave me the truth!"

"Association? You're the ignorant lambs, actually thinking you're maintaining order in the city? Does such a bullshit even exist?!"

The terrifying recoil caused Du Jue and Jie Ao to cough up a mouthful of blood simultaneously, but their movements actually quickened.

Du Jue felt a chill run down her spine just looking at those eight syringes that were rapidly injecting the drug into Jeo's body. Vacuum Fist could never be using just ordinary stimulants!

"Section Chief? She'll take you to a victory celebration, but will she shed a tear for her fallen comrades? She just gave the order to send her men to their deaths with absolute certainty!"

"My right eye went blind from crying for me and for Him, and what about her? Has she ever seen her colleague's gravestone?!"

Click!

The injection, halfway through, suddenly exploded under the heat of the branding fire. Geo immediately cursed under his breath, and the other six association members, who couldn't stand it any longer, angrily retorted.

"Hmph! What do you know? We trust Section Chief Shao!"

"Hahaha! Just like the rules, it's a ridiculous but effective brainwashing, only it's been changed to job responsibilities, recognition and trust, or some other name, and then you'll be willing to die. The only difference between us is that you're on the company's side!"

"Are you blood relatives? Are you close friends? You're neither! You're just blindly following them!"

Boom!

Du Jue, who had been keeping a cold face, finally seized the moment when Jie was exhausted. The crusher instantly severed his right arm at the root, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Jeo was immediately in pain, his face contorted in agony. The bloody wound was quickly scorched by the branding fire, but he did not retreat or dodge, and continued to attack.

"At first, I listened to her because she was my rightful superior. Later, I discovered that she had the ability to command, so I assumed that it would be better to listen to her. In the end, I imagined a false camaraderie between us and unconditionally trusted her command!"

"This is the magic of big corporations! They change the brainwashing to something you can accept. No matter how capable she is, she still has to obey orders from her superiors! She's just a leash for you bunch of domestic dogs!"

Bang!

The one-armed Geo quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and his left wrist was once again severed by Du Jue, but granulation tissue was rapidly regenerating at the cut. He gritted his teeth and tried to retreat.

Tear it apart!

The spiral gun tore open Geo's entire chest at an angle, causing him to lie down with his pupils dilated.

"Anything else to say?"

He stepped on the head of the already crazed Jeo, raised his spiral gun briefly to charge it up, and casually slapped the body of the executor who came to his aid to blast him apart.

"The answer is, there is no answer! The truth is, there is no truth in the city!"

"And you, you piece of trash, are way more powerful than the other trash. Give me your name!"

"Wen Duo".

"Hahaha! Wen Duo, I'll fuck your mother!"

Boom!

Brains splattered.

After all that commotion, the battlefield on the top platform suddenly fell silent, with only screams and sounds of fighting audible; apart from the carnage, there was no other noise.

Without the command of their superiors, Vacuum Fist quickly crumbled, and the Six Associations ended the entire battle before sunset.

"Wen Duo, do I really look cold?"

Shao stood at the edge of the platform watching Chun direct the men to collect the bodies. Many of the Six Association's cleanup crews died in the final counterattack.

Du Jue turned to look at Section Chief Shao with a puzzled expression, sensing that the other man didn't seem like the type to be easily swayed. "No, after all, you've been quite good to me. Can the promotion be settled today?"

Shao turned to look at Du Jue, "You know that's not what I meant. Also, you are indeed a very reliable person who can finish things up. It's an honor to work with you. I'll definitely get the promotion documents sorted out before tonight."

Hearing this, Du Jue smiled and said, "You're the section chief, of course you need to be emotionally stable, otherwise how can you reassure your subordinates?"

"Besides, that guy is a mercenary, and you are the one who cleans up the mess for the association, so you don't need to worry about getting your wages."

Even though he was feeling heavy-hearted and serious, Shao couldn't help but chuckle and stopped asking questions.

To avoid remembering K Company's secret weekend commission just because tomorrow is Saturday, he decided to take this day off for himself. Otherwise, he had too many things to do, and he didn't know when he would be able to go out and have fun.
