”F*ck, their firepower is too suppressive!” With his back against the barrier, a civil soldier in a bulletproof vest attempted to shoot out of cover but was quickly subdued back.

”We require cover fire! I repeat we need cover fire!”

He clenched onto the rifle as the soldier hiding behind the concrete wall roared into the communication device with no reply.

A soldier fearlessly ducked out of the cover and aimed at the anti-armor RPG. As the armored vehicle unleashed its reign of power, he pressed the trigger.

With a trail of red flames, the RPG flew like an iron fist. But when it was ten meters away from the armored vehicle, it was blown away by the activated nitrogen shield, and it smashed into the shop nearby.

The subsequent fires shredded the soldier docked out into pieces.

The battle erupted out of nowhere.

The enemy was not only the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, but it was also some of the civil soldiers. They were bought out by the Crimson Chamber of Commerce. The moment the armored vehicle drove into the inner circle, they responded to the coup.

It was an unfair battle.

Although both sides didn't use heavy firearms, the private force of the council members was much more powerful than the civil soldiers'. Not only in training but also in equipment. Although the civil soldiers on the side of the council were 400, they were completely subdued by the force of 150 people from the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.

Especially since 100 something civil soldiers suddenly turned against them and they only had five armored vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns.

On the side of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, even the ordinary light infantry wore carbon nano armor along with the digitalized helmet that provided shooting assistance. Not to mention the special forces wore kinetic skeletons, as well as power armors.

Because of everyone's selfishness, although they possessed the most advanced fire production line on the wasteland, the council never proposed to upgrade the weapons of the civil force. Because only when the civil force lacked behind in technology, could their own private force be ”hired.” Their commission was not a small amount. It was paid through taxes and was essentially a gold mine.

But now, they tasted their own medicine.

The only soldiers that could match evenly in terms of equipment were the private soldiers of the other nine council members. But because of the city center exploration project, most of their power was put into the city center. There, they were scouring the reapings by the armored force of Crimson Chamber of Commerce; it was still a question how much would remain.

Zhao Chenwu stood on the top floor of the Zhao Corporation building as he speechlessly watched the gun fires below him in the Inner Circle.

The ring of fire began to contract from the edge of the wall inwards; he knew exactly what that meant.

The Crimson Chamber of Commerce had taken the upper hand. The 400 civil soldiers along with the 50 private soldiers suffered constant losses.

He never imagined that five armored vehicles would push him to the edge.

But that was the reality when both sides didn't possess heavy firearms. Even armored vehicles ruled.

The door was pushed open, Su Lei walked in.

The gorgeous female secretary with a cold expression had already changed into a pitch black combat suit. She carried the Reaper automatic rifle produced by the Zhao Corporation military factory. Normally, her identity was Zhao Chenwu's secretary, mistress as well as the driver. However, at critical times, she would act as the role of his bodyguard.

”Boss, the Crimson Chamber of Commerce is approaching our building. Please retreat with me to a safe location,” Su Lei said in an undertone.

”Retreat? Where can we retreat to? The door has been shut tight.” Zhao Chenwu smiled faintly.

He had lost communication with Chen Wei. He must have died already.

At this height, he obviously could not see that mushroom cloud.

Nuclear bombs.

He almost forgot about it.

Speaking of that, it should be the cheapest thing here.

”The underground shelter below Paradise Island hotel,” Su Lei said.

Hearing that, Zhao Chenwu shook his head.

”I never planned to use that thing. There is no shelter where you can hide forever. If that old thing won, even if I hide underground for ten years, the result would be the same.”

He has spent too much energy here. Even if it meant death, he didn't want to let everything go.

”…I will fight for you till the last moment.” Su Lei gave up on convincing her boss. She let out a sigh, and a rare smile appeared on her cold face.

Zhao Chenwu was at a loss as he feebly smiled. Saying nothing more, he kept looking downstairs.

The rifle loaded, Su Lei walked downstairs.

”Still not here?” He muttered to himself as he looked at the electronic clock on the table.

Jiang Chen agreed to send help.

It was the last straw.

People of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce was approaching. He could even see through the dark bulletproof glass of the gunshots fired by the armored vehicles. The power armor used their high mobility to surround the building behind cover. The rotating machine gun on the right merciless shredded the soldiers on the ground.

The floor shook violently all the sudden; the bulletproof glass jarred loudly. He already had guessed what has happened, but he still looked at the touchscreen on the table.

He pressed the start button as the image from the hall surfaced.

Outside of the door was soldiers of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce. Wearing kinetic skeleton, the steel made gate had already been blown open by aluminum heat agent. These soldiers carrying rifles quickly rushed into the building and exchanged fire with the building's security team.

There was not much suspense in the battle. Although the security team of the Zhao Corporation received military training, compared to those professional soldiers, they obviously lacked in strength. Especially since they only wore bulletproof vests, like the civil soldiers. It was a frail attempt in the face of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce soldiers' attack.

The first floor was captured quickly.
