Chapter 1 The Headquarters

The Hua Gong Hui headquarters, top floor office.

Huo Dongsheng, Huang Peishan, and other executives were still discussing plans to deal with the enemy, but they hadn't come up with a concrete solution yet.

Just then, Gwen hung up the phone and walked over with a livid face, interrupting their discussion. "Huo Dongsheng, I don't want to waste words with you! We have to organize a breakout now. I just received news that Gustav's city patrol headquarters is under heavy attack! If they can't hold it, the city will collapse! We can still break out now! Staying here is just waiting to die!"

Huo Dongsheng also became anxious, glaring and shouting, "Where can we break out to? The outside is full of soldiers too. Once we break out, the main force can't gather. Relying on just us, who can we stop?"

The two had a huge disagreement on whether to retreat or not.

...

At the same time, outside the headquarters building, a regiment commander quickly walked to Brigade Commander Yang's side, saluting him. "My Second Regiment, leading a thousand-man force, has completed assembly and reports to you!"

"Are the 'burning eggs' ready?" Brigade Commander Yang asked with a grave expression.

"Ready," the regiment commander nodded. "A total of twenty-four launchers have been assembled and are ready to attack at any time!"

"Good!" Brigade Commander Yang responded and immediately issued an order through the communicator: "Let the artillery attack! Now!"

"Boom, boom, boom…!"

With a burst of rapid cannon fire, the 'burning eggs' were fired directly into the sky, flying densely towards the Hua Gong Hui building.

...

In the Hua Gong Hui headquarters office, Huo Dongsheng roared with extreme dissatisfaction, "Things have come to this because you upper levels are too indecisive!! You don't dare to give military support, but you want to take all the advantages!! If military support had arrived three days earlier, would Su Tianyu dare to send troops to attack Saint Paul's City? I'll sleep…"

"Bang, boom!!"

Suddenly, the windowsill exploded with a bang.

A burst of fire rushed into the office, instantly igniting it.

"Ah!!"

"Fire!!"

"Quick, run out!"

"…!"

Shouts instantly echoed in the room, and everyone was frightened and dodged.

A high-ranking executive was close to the window. Before he could react, he was set ablaze. The man wailed miserably, and someone next to him immediately rushed up, trying to put out the fire with clothes.

But this kind of high-explosive burning egg seemed to stick to the body, burning brighter and brighter, and could not be extinguished at all.

The executive lost his mind from the pain, running around aimlessly, and accidentally fell from the broken windowsill, plunging downstairs with a body of fire.

"Fire! There's a fire!"

"Run out!"

"Someone save him!!"

"…!!"

At this time, painful wails also came from downstairs. Huo Dongsheng glanced out and saw that the building, the courtyard, and even the entrance were all on fire!

The surrounding air was distorted, and scorching heat slapped Huo Dongsheng's face. A large amount of thick smoke soared into the sky, and the entire Hua Gong Hui seemed to have turned into a mountain of flames.

Huo Dongsheng looked terrified, his face pale, his body trembling, and he took a few steps back.

Gwen was lying under a desk, cursing angrily, "You're such a stupid B! What kind of soldiers are you? They're several thousand regular troops, and you have a bunch of private armed forces who work for money. Do you expect them to fight for you? Still not leaving, you'll all die here if you don't leave!"

Huo Dongsheng came back to his senses, squatted on the ground, and shouted to everyone, "Retreat! Retreat to the backyard! Quick, bring the family members with you!!"

The crowd covered Huo Dongsheng and Gwen, and quickly retreated outside.

At this time, the building was also in chaos, with flames burning everywhere, thick smoke rolling on the ceiling, and screams and wails could be heard from all directions.

Huo Dongsheng's face was covered with black soot. While running out with the crowd, he kept shouting, "Where's Lao Liu? Where did Lao Liu go?"

...

In a small room on the first floor, Liu Tao led his wife, two children, and several confidants, hiding here.

"Quick, change clothes!" Lao Liu said urgently, pointing to some ordinary worker clothes on the ground: "We don't go with the main force! Following them will definitely lead to death!"

His wife looked a little scared and hesitant, "You're here, how…how can I change…!"

Hearing this, Lao Liu yelled, "It's a matter of life and death, do you still care about this? Who has the time to look at you! Change quickly!"

A group of people quickly changed their clothes and left the small room, crouching.

"Crash!"

A confidant picked up a chair and smashed the floor-to-ceiling glass next to him. Lao Liu took the lead, grabbing his two children and rushing out.

Not long after these people ran, Huo Dongsheng and others also arrived on the first floor.

"Wooo—"

The Anxi troops' charge horn sounded outside!

"Take down the Hua Gong Hui!! Vow to kill Huo Dongsheng!!"

"Charge!!"

"…!"

Deafening shouts exploded outside the courtyard!

Huo Dongsheng felt a chill in his heart. He turned his head and saw a large number of soldiers in green uniforms charging towards the Hua Gong Hui in the distance outside the window.

And those private armed forces hired at a high price were like foam, collapsing at the first touch. They hardly resisted and began to retreat.

The entire first floor was also a sea of fire. Many people fell in the flames, their bodies burned to charcoal, and the air was filled with the smell of burning flesh.

There were also some people, wrapped in flames, screaming and running around with their teeth and claws bared. Among them, an old man with his lower body on fire was running painfully towards Huo Dongsheng and the others.

"Save me! Save me! I don't want to die!" the old man shouted miserably as he ran.

Huang Peishan didn't even think about it, raised his hand and fired two shots.

The old man, who could have been saved, was shot dead on the spot, and no one cared about him.

"Huo Dongsheng, I fuck your mother!" In the distance, a hysterical roar came. A young man whose relatives had died rushed towards the crowd with a gun: "It's all because you wanted to fight, everyone's dead, everyone's dead…!"

"Bang, bang!"

The security personnel fired two shots in a row, directly killing the man.

"Go! Go quickly!" Huang Peishan grabbed the somewhat dazed Huo Dongsheng, and a group of people fled to the backyard in a panic…

...

On the street, Wang Xiao was running wildly towards the headquarters building with a large group of people. While running, they kept shouting in Portuguese to release our people.

But no one paid attention to them anymore. The private armed forces had long collapsed, leaving only a mess of the headquarters building.

Everywhere they looked, there were hostages executed by the Hua Gong Hui, lying on the ground in disorder.

Wang Xiao looked at the rows of corpses on the ground, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, running slower and slower, and then slowly stopped.

He looked at the Hua Gong Hui building engulfed in flames, emitting thick smoke, his legs weakened, and a sense of powerlessness surged into his heart. He knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Wang Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes red, and gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck your mother, Yu Mingyuan… You're definitely going to become a sinner in history!"
