Scorching sandstorm

  Mary's mother was extremely weak, with both kidneys severely failing, and had been relying on dialysis and medication to sustain her life in recent years. According to the doctor, this disease requires a kidney transplant, but even the cheapest artificial kidney costs 100,000 gold coins, an astronomical figure that poor families dare not think about.

  Mary's heart was almost broken, her mother was so ill and these people still wouldn't let up on her, actually exposing her to such a big storm, don't you people have hearts of stone?

  "Aren't you looking for hostages? Come at me, let my mom go..." Mary's shrill cry pierced through the rain, stunning the killers who involuntarily stopped firing.

  Mary's mother shook her head desperately, she cried out "Don't come over, you run by yourself, don't mind me..." Unfortunately, she had no strength left, in such a big storm, her weak voice couldn't reach her daughter's ears.

  At this moment, Mary's mother, with a sudden burst of energy from nowhere, sat up straight from the back seat of the motorcycle, shook her head desperately at her daughter, and finally took a big bite, with bright red blood flowing down from the corner of her mouth.

  Half of her tongue was spat out, and her pale mother fainted from pain and weakness, lying unconscious in the accumulated water, between life and death.

  "Mom..." Mary's knees went weak and she fell directly into the water, she really couldn't believe that her mother had bitten off her own tongue in front of her.

  The killers were stunned, they did not expect this sickly woman to be so tough, and for the sake of not dragging her daughter down, she actually dared to bite her tongue and kill herself.

  At this time, Qian Yun's figure emerged from behind Mary. He pounced on Mary and dragged her desperately into the coconut forest until he leaned against a sturdy coconut tree before catching his breath.

  "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, what you should think about now is revenge, and nothing else besides revenge. Look at me, look at me, do you have the energy to cry but not the energy to kill?"

  Just as Qian Yun shook Mary's shoulder to wake her up, a sudden explosion of hand grenades sounded in the wind and rain. Mei Lin and others finally completed the encirclement. After the explosion, Bing Lei Ke's figure fell into the killer team like a god, his iron fist sweeping across the battlefield like a storm.

  "Die, die, die, it's not necessary for you to live..."

  "You've got a gun now? Let's see who's faster, you or me..."

  Lei Ke's eyes were bloodshot, the strength of a five-segment expert wasn't something to be bragged about, Ice Dragon's number one expert wasn't a name in vain, and with just a brief encounter, three assassins were beaten to death by his fists.

  At this time, Merlin also rushed up, his hand was the dagger that Wú Cháng bought for him, and in his anger, he actually opened the magic barrier, with a faint glow flashing on the blade of the dagger.

  Merrlin didn't have much nonsense, his eyes only had the intention to kill, every knife was fatal. The magic shield could cut through everything in front of him, whether it was a bulletproof car or a killer's bulletproof vest, under this dagger they were all as weak as broken cloth.

  A team of ten killers was annihilated in less than a minute under the joint close combat of Leck and Merlin, with seven people dying instantly. The remaining three were also shot in the head by Tan Baihe's rifle. Mr. Ya's second battalion was completely wiped out.

  Mary knelt down beside her mother's body, hugging her and wailing loudly. Beside her were comrades who had formed a circle around them, using their military uniforms to create a canopy to shield the mother-daughter pair from wind and rain.

  Mary cried for more than 20 minutes, and finally Meiling consoled her. "Let's take care of Auntie first, and when we catch the culprit, we'll slash him to pieces in front of Auntie's grave..." Just as she was saying this, Meiling's terminal suddenly lit up, and a strange head icon appeared on the holographic screen.

  "How's the task going? If it's done, gather at the designated location immediately, we still have a mission..."

  "Mary's mother has passed away... We were ultimately one step too late..." Merlin said sorrowfully. Wu Chang was stunned upon hearing this and remained speechless for a long time.

  At this time, Mary broke the awkwardness "What task? As long as I can avenge my mother, I'm not afraid of any task"

  Wu Chang looked at Mary's stern face, "Get Aunt settled in and come to the gathering immediately. We're preparing to raid Mr. Ya's stronghold. He's the mastermind behind all the conspiracies..."

  Humans, once they have a goal, have the motivation to move forward, and even the greatest sorrow can be overcome. Mary and her comrades laid their mother's body in the village, entrusting the villagers to take care of it, while she herself wiped away the tears on her face and led the way into the wind and rain outside the door.

  Mr. Ya's three ambush troops used to deal with the unpredictable have been wiped out, and Mr. Ya, who is naturally suspicious, turned around without hesitation, taking his most loyal subordinates with him, advancing towards their secret base amidst the wind and rain.

  In the midst of a torrential downpour, an expensive black sedan was making its way through the stormy weather. The car's destination was the Aerospace Club in the northeast part of Hot Sand Harbor, where a spy ship disguised as a private yacht was waiting.

  In the carriage, Mr. Ya looked at the intelligence that had just been transmitted, looking at the last images sent by those two teams that had already been annihilated. Mr. Ya knew that the last chance to recruit Wu Chang had been ruined.

  On the Snow Chariot, hiring himself at a high salary was useless. He even used his underworld connections to get rid of Wu Chang's identity documents, but didn't drive him to desperation. Now look what happened - he sent out a killer trained for many years to capture a few hostages, and unexpectedly let Wu Chang wipe them all out. It wasn't until now that Mr. Ya realized the wisdom of the Grand Princess.

  "Princess, you really have an eye for talent. Everyone you've picked out is a capable person. Unfortunately, someone with such abilities can't be used by us, so keeping him around would just be a disaster..."

  Mr. Ya said to his subordinates, "Let the people below move a bit, don't suppress them... This Hot Sand Port has been too peaceful for too long, it's time to stir up some energy..."

  Mr. Ya's subordinates faithfully executed his orders, and at that moment, countless leaders in the Hot Sand Port, as well as those student soldiers who stood up to make trouble, received a top-secret email that could only be kept for ten minutes.

  After the email was automatically deleted, the doomsday of Hot Sand Harbor finally arrived.

  "Brothers of the Three Knives Society, Xicheng District is full of jewelry stores, banks, and high-end clubs. I want you to rush in and smash them up, grab all the valuables..."

  "Brothers of the East District Black Gang, in Dongcheng District we recognize only one boss. A rare opportunity is right before our eyes, whether we'll be eating meat or drinking soup for the rest of our lives depends on today, let's take to the streets..."

  "Hey, old masters, see if my leopard brother is righteous or not? Flower leopard will make a fortune and never forget the old brothers. Now the whole city, the whole planet has already been in chaos, the security team has been held back by those student soldiers. What are you waiting for? Let's go, follow me..."

  At that moment, the entire Hot Sand Port's **molecules were all excited**, and the violent emotions suppressed by Mr. Ya were released at that moment. Almost at the same time, thick smoke emerged from the southeast, northwest, and other directions of Hot Sand Port, and even the torrential rain could not suppress it.

  Not only are these molecules excited in the heavy rain, but they are also plotting to take advantage of the chaos to get rich. Meanwhile, those spies lurking among the tens of thousands of students and soldiers are after real achievements.

  "Comrades, fellow students, look at this torrential rain, and these bastard security guards still won't let us into the city. We can't even petition the governor, let alone take shelter from the rain..."

  "Look at them, each hiding in their sentry posts, sipping coffee, while we're out here braving the wind and rain. Is that fair or not?"

  "Unfair......" The math team members shouted in unison under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives.

  "What kind of people are we? We are the hope for the future of the empire, the brave warriors who have defeated evil. How can we be treated like this? A group of security guards actually dare to bully us, the emperor's own people... Do you admit it or not..."

  "No response..." The crowd became even more frenzied.

  The agitator grew more and more spirited as he spoke, jumping onto a wooden crate and pointing towards the distant city center, roaring with anger: "Look at that layer upon layer of dark curtains! Our funds are being embezzled by corrupt officials, our supplies are being sold off by them, and even our comrades have died inexplicably in the Rocky Mountains... what kind of shameless dark curtain is this?..."

  "Don't be weak anymore, my brothers. Let's rush in and tear apart this dark curtain that blocks out the sky. Let's go appeal to the governor, let's appeal to the great emperor..."

  "Now, now is the time, let the entire empire witness our loyalty! Advance, we advance..."

  The torrential rain cannot extinguish the flames in the hearts of soldiers, let alone these young military academy students. The raging fire has finally been ignited, and Left Bank Paradise Star is really going to be unlucky this time.

  The temporary sentry post set up by the security team was no match for this group of soldiers. The fully armed security team bullied the civilians very badly, but when faced with a large number of soldiers, they were already intimidated.

  It was just a charge, and these security guards only symbolically fired a few shots into the sky. Seeing that they could not intimidate the soldiers, they did not resist and turned to run. Some even had their guns taken away by the soldiers.

  At that moment, countless temporary outposts defending the Hot Sand Port were in chaos. These bare-handed soldiers simply ignored the rifles in the hands of the guards and started fighting with their fists. The guards who received Ye Wen's strict orders did not dare to suppress these precious pawns and could only resist desperately with basic anti-riot shields and wooden sticks.

  At this time, the military department's White Building was in a state of frenzy, with people rushing in and out, everyone running quickly, and the entire floor filled with the sound of orders being relayed.

  "What did you say? The Victory Street checkpoint has been breached? Where are your reserve troops, why didn't you send the reserve troops up... Say it again, the reserve troops were dispatched to Baiyulan Street? How could they not even hold that place..."

  "Is someone setting fires in the western city? Has it been investigated who did it? What does it mean, San Dao Hui actually led tens of thousands of rioters to loot?"

  "The Black Gang from the East District suddenly took to the streets and has already broken into three banks? What's the point of saying this, why aren't you suppressing them, are your hands just holding fire tongs?"

  Chaos, the entire White Building was in a state of confusion. In the top office, Ye Wenshuai had already become anxious and his mouth was dry, but he only had 100,000 security guards under his command. Controlling a city with over 30 million people was originally a difficult task. Usually, when all parties were balanced, it wasn't obvious, but now that fires were breaking out everywhere, he realized that he was the one who was naked swimming.

  "Where is the governor? Is he still doing nothing?"
