117: Eat my spicy sword!
"""Four-Eyes Murderer""", the nickname the leader of the small Vortex Gang group gave himself.
Although it sounds like something, for Fang Yun, no matter if it's """Four-Eyed Murder Demon""" or Ten-Eyed Killer, just do it.
This small group of the Vortex Gang set up their base in an underground factory.
Using the surrounding abandoned buildings to conceal themselves, Fang Yun and the other two quietly crept to the entrance of the underground factory.
Fang Yun poked his head out from behind a wall and looked ahead.
At the entrance, there were two seemingly listless Vortex Gang lackeys, who should have been on guard duty.
Fang Yun observed carefully for a few seconds and successfully found a camera near the entrance.
After retracting his head, Fang Yun turned back and whispered to Valentine and Toke:
"I found a camera that's still in use. I should be able to hack into the Vortex Gang base's isolated subnet through this camera."
Valentine and Toke nodded without replying.
Fang Yun poked his head out again and used "Human Intelligence Ascension" to remotely hack into the camera he had just found.
"[...]
[Underground factory architectural blueprints, defense information, booby traps, hidden posts...]
[OK, all the information is in hand.]"
Fang Yun quietly withdrew from the Vortex Gang base's isolated subnet and then shared all the collected intelligence information with Valentine and Toke.
"With this information, we don't have to worry about being ambushed. I'll go in and kill them directly in a moment."
"After I've killed everyone inside, I'll send you a signal, and then you can come in."
While browsing the information Fang Yun shared, Valentine and Toke sent messages in the team communication channel in response:
"Understood."
"Got it."
Fang Yun nodded, then got up, activated "Void Walker" and rushed out, charging towards the two standing Vortex Gang lackeys while shouting in his heart:
"[Eat my draw-and-slash sword!]"

At the entrance of the Vortex Gang base.
Lackey A (with a lewd expression): "Hey, wanna go have some fun on Twist Street tonight?"
Lackey B (with a worried look): "Let's not, alright? Last time I saw Xiao Mei having fun with three men, I don't want to touch *dolls* again anytime soon."
Lackey A (dismissively): "If you ask me, you just haven't seen enough. What's the big deal about having fun with 3 men? There are plenty of more perverted ways to play. Tonight, your brother will take you to experience it."
Lackey B (tempted but hesitant): "Uh, mm..."
Lackey A (waving his hand): "It's settled then. I'm telling you... (Cut off abruptly)"
Lackey B (turning his head in confusion): !
Lackey A, who was just chatting with Lackey B, was already lying at Fang Yun's feet, his body separated from his head.
When Lackey B saw this scene, he instinctively wanted to shout out.
However, before Lackey B could open his mouth, he felt a flash of bright light suddenly appear before his eyes, followed by the onset of endless darkness.
Fang Yun flicked the fox moon Katana - black fox, and the beads of blood rolling off the blade immediately drew a red line on the ground.
"[Is this what killing feels like?... There's no feeling at all.... Could it be that I'm a born killer?... Or is it because of the digitized body, and the cybernetics...]
Fang Yun was silent for two seconds, then shook his head and looked at Lackey B's corpse.
[Killing you after you understood who the enemy was is already my greatest mercy.]
[...Of course, it might also be a form of torture for you.]"
"Ding! Lifesteal (Black Fox) triggered, Health +14."
"Ding! Lifesteal (Black Fox) triggered, Health +14."
"Ding! Combat Rating increased, F→E."
Fang Yun looked at the bottom left corner of his field of vision, where a capitalized "E" was constantly flashing.
"...The slaughter has begun."
Fang Yun's eyes were cold. He activated "Void Walker" again, then bypassed the booby traps at the entrance and walked into the base.
...
Reike Underground Factory, this is the name of the underground base of the small Vortex Gang group - """Four-Eyes Gang""".
The entire underground factory is divided into three levels, with only one entrance/exit.
Originally, there should have been five lackeys on guard duty at the factory entrance/exit, but today was the """Four-Eyes Gang"""'s weekly celebration meeting (in reality, it was just setting aside one day a week specifically for eating, drinking, and having fun), so only two lackeys were assigned to stand guard at the entrance/exit because they lost the draw.
At the entrance/exit, the stairs leading to the first underground level were eroded by time, and the railings were covered in rust.
Fang Yun, with "Void Walker" activated, silently slipped down the stairs and arrived at the first level of the underground factory.
"[According to the intelligence previously stolen, the first underground level was the former production workshop.]
[There are 5 people here, gathered behind the first wall after going down the stairs.]"
Fang Yun recalled the intelligence as he walked down the stairs and passed the wall.
Directly opposite the stairs, some machinery and old mechanical parts were placed.
These equipment and parts were used to confuse enemies.
If anyone attempted to use this equipment as cover to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with the """Four-Eyes Gang""", the booby traps set on the equipment would show them what a surprise was.
To the left of the stairs was a wall, behind which were 5 """Four-Eyes Gang""" members eating, drinking, and dancing to the music.
Because the first level did not have "motion detectors" set up, it was unable to detect enemies equipped with Sandiwestan.
So Fang Yun walked down the stairs brazenly, passed the wall, and walked up to the 5 """Four-Eyes Gang""" members.
One of the """Four-Eyes Gang""" members seemed to have Krennikov installed.
After Fang Yun walked up to them, that member's movements suddenly sped up slightly, and his eyes began to look in Fang Yun's direction.
But, it was still too slow.
Before that member's head could turn towards Fang Yun, Fang Yun had already raised his hand and brought the blade down, chopping off his head.
As a member of a small Vortex Gang group, the extent of his cybernetic modifications was not enough to support him still issuing an enemy attack warning to his other companions after his head had been chopped off.
So after Fang Yun chopped off his head, he didn't bother with him anymore, but instead used the same execution method as Louis XVI on the other 4 people with a backhand swing.
Five flashes of blade light appeared almost simultaneously.
Along with the sound of 5 heads rolling onto the ground, Fang Yun's Combat Rating also reached "S".
(PS: For every life form eliminated, Combat Rating +1.)
(PS: Combat Ratings F to SSS provide 1 to 9 points of extra attack bonus respectively, duration is "extra attack bonus × 10" seconds, duration can be refreshed; Combat Rating Limit provides an "Attack +50%" buff, duration is 1 minute, duration can be refreshed.)
Lifesteal (Black Fox) triggered 5 more times, so Fang Yun is now incredibly energized!
"According to intelligence, the 'Four-Eyed Gang' is also involved in over a dozen criminal activities including human trafficking, forced *singing*, and production/trafficking of *unique goods*."
"The group isn't large, but they've committed quite a few crimes."
"It's time to punish you."
Fang Yun muttered to himself while walking towards the second underground level with a fierce glint in his eyes.
