The Steam Party suddenly went to war, which was very unusual.

Logically, after giving them three days to evacuate, the Steam Party shouldn't be provoking them on Green Street again.

Moreover, now with the support of the Rhys Family's Third Branch, the Steam Party only needed to wait a few more days, and the Cross Society would inevitably withdraw from Green Street due to pressure from above. Even if there were conflicts at that time, they would be small-scale.

They could have taken Green Street without much effort, but now they were acting like they wanted a gang war, which made no sense.

Kai looked at the number of enemies and cursed, "Are these Steam Party guys crazy? Do they want both gangs to fight to the death?"

Suren looked at the sudden situation and suddenly thought of something. His expression became slightly strange, and he muttered, "So reckless, could it be that the Steam Party's president was assassinated, or... that young master Martin was killed?"

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason why the Steam Party would be so desperate to charge in.

However, it didn't matter what the Steam Party's reason for starting the war was, the enemy had already reached their doorstep, and the Cross Society had to meet them.

........

The first shell exploded, blowing up the Cross Society's armored vehicle parked at the head of Green Street. The convoy surged into the streets near Green Street like a steel torrent.

Then, the two sides engaged in a fierce gun battle, with gunfire erupting and artillery shells exploding everywhere in the streets.

The Steam Party was good at mechanical modification, and their artillery and armored vehicles had a huge technological advantage.

Almost every one of their motorcycles was equipped with individual artillery and heavy machine guns. These hundreds of motorcycle riders were hundreds of mobile turrets.

The Cross Society had not expected a large-scale gang war, and they were caught off guard. Therefore, they couldn't hold out for long in the face of the artillery barrage, and the gang members were forced into the alleys between buildings, where they began street fighting.

Initial estimates indicated that the Steam Party had brought ten times as many men as the Cross Society currently had on Green Street!

Moreover, most of the Steam Party members had mechanical prosthetics, which gave them a great advantage in large-scale brawls. At least being hit by a bullet wouldn't be as fatal as it would be for a flesh-and-blood body.

Also, although mechanical prosthetics were not as flexible as flesh and blood, they had a huge advantage in the average level of sustained shooting accuracy and stability among non-professionals.

.......

Kai and Suren and the others were in front of a dilapidated building, right next to a narrow alley.

Large war vehicles couldn't enter here, so they relied on this alley to fight a positional war.

"Brothers, fuck them up! Hold on a little longer, headquarters has already sent people to support us!"

"Wolf, take the rocket launcher and blow up the troop carrier at the street corner!"

"Damn it, someone who knows how to bandage, help Barty with his wound!"

"..."

The sound of gunfire was as dense as raindrops, and Captain Kai shouted himself hoarse as he directed the battle.

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"... the sound of bullets piercing the air rang in their ears, and the pressure of death made everyone feel like they had a heavy stone pressing on their chests. The shadow of death loomed over everyone's heads.

Large-scale warfare was not the time to show personal bravery. Even Kai, who was extremely strong in close combat, could only hide behind cover and fire his gun. If he were to rush out now, he would immediately be riddled with bullets.

After all, the Black Society was not a regular army. They were fierce when they fought, but they also had many shortcomings.

For example, they didn't have medics.

Once injured, it was fatal for them.

The veterans were quite experienced, changing their cover positions while fighting, and overall, they were fighting back and forth with the enemy. The newbies were prone to making mistakes, and their nervousness also caused them to make frequent errors...

Mistakes meant death.

Before long, more than a dozen of the forty or fifty people were reduced due to death and serious injuries. Moreover, because they discovered that the dilapidated building was resisting, there were more and more Steam Party members at the entrance of the alley.

......

Suren hid behind cover, firing occasional potshots.

His expression remained calm.

After all, ordinary gunmen posed little threat to him.

Even without sticking his head out to observe, Suren's current ability to "discern position by sound" allowed him to easily determine the enemy's shooting position. Even if a rocket was coming, he could predict the trajectory and landing point in advance from the sound of gunpowder burning, and calmly avoid the lethal range of the explosion.

Suren's current combat power had already exceeded that of most captain-level combatants. He could even suppress the twenty or thirty enemies at the mouth of the alley with his marksmanship without much effort.

But he didn't do so.

Because that wouldn't solve the problem at all, but would instead bring a real disaster to their Green Street team.

Once the enemy discovered that there was a "firearms expert" in the dilapidated building, professional-level practitioners would immediately come to gnaw on the hard bones. If Suren killed the captain again, cadre-level combatants would come... The trouble would be endless.

Now that the enemy outnumbered them tenfold, Suren couldn't possibly kill them all, no matter how powerful he was.

The best choice was to continue to wear them down and wait for the Cross Society's reinforcements to arrive. At least when someone could contain the second-tier professional, he could let go and counterattack.

What he had to do now was to protect himself, occasionally fire a few potshots, and eliminate a few of the more threatening enemies.

.......

The Green Street squad was pushed back from the cover at the mouth of the alley to the end of the alley.

Just then, Kai suddenly realized that the sniper on the roof of the dilapidated building behind them had stopped moving. When he looked back, he realized that their sniper had been headshot by the enemy at some point, and his body was half-hanging on the edge of the building.

"Damn it, our sniper has been taken out!"

"Captain, it looks like the enemy is sneaking up from behind!"

"..."

The Steam Party's enemies didn't dare to advance rashly, largely because the Cross Society had taken control of the high ground in advance and had sniper fire suppressing them.

Now that there was no sniper on the high ground, the Steam Party outside the alley had charged forward with their mechanical shields.

The situation was becoming more and more critical. Suren was still wondering how long he could hold out before he had to evacuate.

But just then, he suddenly felt a pressure between his eyebrows that felt like a needle prick.

"I'm being targeted by a sniper?"

This was a warning prompt from [Malice Perception] that he had detected hostile gazes watching him.

The feeling was very weak, indicating that the enemy was far away.

But that was enough to make Suren wary.

Without any hesitation, he rolled to the side. Almost at the same time, a bullet hit the spot where he had just been, leaving a crater in the hard ground.

Suren looked at the trajectory of the bullet and instantly identified the sniper's exact location. Without hesitation, he drew his famous gun, [Lightning Serpent], and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled the trigger towards the window of a small building more than three hundred meters away, at the ten o'clock direction to his left.

"Bang!"

A special lightning-like flash of fire flashed from the muzzle, the bullet left the chamber, and then accurately shot into the window opening more than three hundred meters away. The blood that suddenly splashed on the glass bed showed that someone behind the window had indeed been hit.

Kai, who was next to him, watched Suren suddenly roll and fire at the flank of the position, and his eyes instinctively looked towards the muzzle.

He was still wondering why Suren's gun was aimed so high, but when he looked over, he happened to see the blood splattering on the glass window.

"Sniper?"

Kai looked at the expressionless Suren with shock in his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.

Kai knew that Suren was a "firearms expert."

He wasn't surprised that Suren could snipe the enemy's sniper with one shot.

But to accurately kill a target three hundred meters away with one shot from a pistol, wasn't that a bit too much?

Not to mention the marksmanship, but could your pistol be used as a sniper rifle?

After all, Kai was a professional, and he had seen far more than ordinary gang members. He glanced at the old and worn pistol in Suren's hand and knew that it must be something special.

He had been wondering why Suren hadn't brought the famous gun [Three-Headed Ghost], thinking that he was afraid of exposing it, but it turned out that he had replaced it with something better?

Kai didn't say much, as it wasn't the time to chat.

It was very disadvantageous for them to lose the high ground. Kai instantly thought of something, leaned over, and asked, "Brother Suren, can you take two brothers to take back the high ground in the dilapidated building?"

This was a very dangerous mission.

Snipers were the primary target, and once they fired and exposed their position, the enemy would first choose to eliminate the sniper point.

Kai and Suren had a life-or-death friendship. If the position didn't need him, he would have chosen to go himself.

But he didn't expect Suren to agree without even thinking about it, nodding, "I can."

He felt that it was exactly what he wanted.

There were too many people and eyes at the position, and it was inconvenient for him to expose many of his cards. Moreover, the position was a big target and was bound to be the focus of the enemy's attention. Even with super-perception, it was inevitable that he would be accidentally injured by stray bullets.

And if he really couldn't hold on for a while... it would also affect his tactical retreat.

Suren thought for a moment and added, "It's better if I go alone."
