Chapter 28: Plans Change Faster Than Expected
The battle erupted in an instant.
And Qi Jun, well, he slipped away!
Knowing there were containers full of crude oil here, whoever stayed once the fight started was a fool!
Even the 'energy' sources that Qi Jun once found so enticing, he could no longer bother to collect.
Apart from a few sparse corpses of Kingpin gang members that Qi Jun 'subconsciously' recycled on his path forward, he didn't think about the rest.
Speeding away, Qi Jun finally returned just before Hit-Girl was caught up in the battle.
.............
However, the expected sight of a trembling little girl hiding inside a container did not occur.
Looking at the little girl who carefully peeked her head out, her eyes filled with excitement, even wanting to join the fray herself.
Qi Jun could only silently place his hand on his forehead and sigh: True to being raised by a monstrous father, a violent little girl indeed!
However, this battle was no longer something Big Daddy and Hit-Girl could partake in.
The two, despite being street-level heroes, were just ordinary people.
Trained and having participated in a few skirmishes against gangsters, they were not equipped to face a well-armed, disciplined, and vastly superior mercenary force twenty times their number.
He needed to find a way to quickly get Big Daddy and Hit-Girl out of there.
.............
But when it rains, it pours.
Plans need to catch up with changes!
Just as the fight was heating up!
Several modified second-hand cars charged in outside the dock, blaring their horns.
Especially the first two pickup trucks were modified to mount two crew-served machine guns!
In the beds of the two trucks, one person each operated the guns, pulling triggers, and someone else even fed ammunition belts.
Although not quite flamethrowers, a sudden, fierce attack was more than anyone could handle in such circumstances.
Even the fully armed elite mercenaries had to retreat from the assault temporarily.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat~~~~
A continuous minute-long barrage completely suppressed the already fiery confrontation at the dock, oh no, actually three groups, all of them now.
All three groups had to find cover, avoiding this suddenly incoming fourth force.
Squeak~~~ Bang~~~
Thud~~~ Thud~~~ Thud~~~
Squeak~~~ Bang~~~
Thud~~~ Thud~~~ Thud~~~
Squeak~~~ Bang~~~
Thud~~~ Thud~~~ Thud~~~
With the machine guns on the leading two pickup trucks continuously firing, the following pickups, vans, off-road vehicles, and other assorted vehicles stopped and disgorged a large group of burly men armed with various firearms.
Qi Jun glanced at them and immediately understood.
These guys must be the North Bear gang, who had been trying to take over New York and Hell's Kitchen but had been sadly suppressed by the Kingpin gang.
But the North Bear gang, notorious for their combat prowess, resisted the more the Kingpin gang suppressed them.
Despite being strongly oppressed by the Kingpin gang, the North Bear gang survived and grew significantly in the blink of an eye...
It was a mystery how the North Bear gang, supposedly restricted from trading and smuggling weapons, managed to get their hands on so many weapons every time.
Moreover, each conflict resulted in many casualties for the North Bear gang, but somehow, they seemed to have even more people in the next conflict.
The underlying dirty secrets were indeed terrifying!
The Kingpin gang, unable to find who was smuggling people and weapons for the North Bear gang, was highly annoyed!
.............
This time, the North Bear gang learned of the 'detergent' transaction between the Kingpin gang and the Hand from their longtime information supplier.
The thought that an enemy of the Kingpin gang was their enemy too, and a shipment of new 'detergent' on board, plus the Hand's reluctance to cooperate with them, sparked thoughts in the North Bear gang.
Motivated by these thoughts, they decided to pull off a heist.
To ensure the heist's success, the boss of the North Bear gang even paid a hefty sum to bribe certain high-ranking officials in the New York Police Department not to interfere.
In short, even if the residents bombarded the police with calls, they should not dispatch any officers!
Why bother with policing when there are stand-up comedy shows and adult channels to watch on TV?
Indeed, after a long period of intellectual battles with the Kingpin gang, the boss of the North Bear gang had finally learned some strategies.
.............
The rapid changes on the scene left.
Qi Jun is utterly stunned.
Later on, wouldn't some Irish gang, Skull, or Ghost gang pop up?
But for Qi Jun, this was also a good thing.
Big Daddy and Hit-Girl should be preparing to retreat with the dock now in such chaos!
With so many people and guns and bullets flying everywhere like a swarm of stars.
Daring to charge in at such a moment, you wouldn't even know how you died from a stray bullet or even a barrage of them.
.............
But sometimes, what you fear the most comes to haunt you!
"Mindy!"
"Mindy!"
"Can you hear me?"
In Hit-Girl's earpiece came the somewhat urgent voice of Big Daddy.
What? How did Qi Jun hear that? Did the global biometric chip only have tracking functionality?
Meanwhile, Big Daddy was already full of regrets, knowing it was dangerous to raid the Kingpin gang this time. Why did he still let his daughter go deep into the dock area?
It should have been him, Big Daddy inside, and Hit-Girl outside!
Well, for a father who had 'trained' his daughter from loving Barbie dolls to enjoying butterfly knives and stabbing holes in people for fun, you can't expect him to regret how he educated his daughter.
