Full-Time Public Enemy

Over twenty years ago, he received an order. He deliberately exposed his 'illegal body modification' from within Gong He's body. With the steel fist of his left hand, he then burst the head of a law enforcer on the street. Then, as he wished, he became a high-priority fugitive. Afterwards, he took a pre-arranged spacecraft and smuggled himself to this planet.

Subsequently, relying on his powerful illegal body modifications and some secret "abilities," he slowly established the Hyena Gang.

Decades passed. The Hyena Gang had become the most powerful gang on this planet, where he was akin to an "emperor."

But he was born ambitious, possessed his own loyal beliefs, and loathed this kind of life.

Fortunately, everything was finally coming to an end.

As dusk fell, several satellites rose from the horizon, and a convoy quickly approached from the distant wilderness. Bear leaped from the window of a dilapidated high-rise building. CLATTER! The metal armor on his back unfolded into a pair of gigantic wings.

He flapped his wings and landed on the ground, where a group of biker thugs awaited below. "Boss!"

"Come with me." He then flew low to the ground, and the thugs immediately started their bikes, following closely behind.

Along the way, they encountered the convoy.

The biker thugs thought these were rivals trying to take over their territory. Despite the opposition being well-equipped, the thugs had absolute confidence in their leader, Bear. Without hesitation, they drew weapons from their vehicles, aggressively aiming at the newcomers.

"They are not enemies," Bear said in a deep voice. He retracted his wings and walked towards one of the vehicles. Kneeling devoutly on one knee, he placed his right hand over his chest, his voice slightly choked. "Prophet, I have finally waited for you!"

The vehicle door opened. Wei Jiangqi nodded at him in approval. "How did the task I gave you go?"

"I found it long ago. I've had people guarding it all these years, just waiting for your summons."

Wei Jiangqi was even more pleased. "Good. Lead us there."

"Yes." After receiving the command, Bear turned to his subordinates. "You follow behind."

He soared ahead on his wings, leading the way. The armored maglev convoy followed closely, not lacking in speed. The biker thugs at the rear, however, struggled to keep up.

But the boss had spoken. If they couldn't keep up... the consequences would be dire, too severe for them to bear.

So, along the way, due to the planet's rough surface terrain, seven or eight thugs were thrown from their bikes and died.

After speeding for several hours, they had penetrated deep into the mountains. They were surrounded by mine shafts of various sizes, which became even more dangerous in the darkness.

Bear finally descended. His wings folded on his back, transforming into liquid that flowed into his body. It then seeped out from his waist, reforming into eight gigantic metal spider legs.

The maglev convoy came to a halt. Wei Jiangqi stepped out, his demeanor solemn, as Bear reported, "Prophet, from here we must pass through some mine shafts."

Wei Jiangqi nodded and glanced back at the biker thugs, satisfied with Bear's arrangements.

The biker thugs had never seen their hot-tempered, fierce boss show such respect to anyone. The encounters that night made them vaguely feel that something was amiss, yet they dared not defy Bear's orders.

Leading the way, the boss walked into a mine shaft on the verge of collapse. They had no choice but to dismount their bikes and follow on foot.

They had entered less than ten meters into the mine shaft when a furious shout came from the darkness, "Who's there!" followed by the clear sound of weapons charging.

"It's me," Bear said, his voice deep.

"Boss!" Lights flared on, illuminating the mine shaft, where a group of fully armed thugs had set up multiple checkpoints.

With Bear in the lead, they continued forward, descending deeper, even passing through several refurbished vertical elevators.

At last, a research base buried deep underground appeared before them.

Upon arrival, Wei Jiangqi stopped before the base's great door, constructed from concrete and heavy alloys. He paused silently for a moment, then spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Let's go in."

The base's equipment was ancient, lagging behind the current era by an unknown number of years. But to these scavengers-turned-biker-thugs, these were treasures!

They were surprised. Their boss actually had such a "treasure trove" hidden away—why not sell it for money?

The Prophet's followers solemnly trailed Wei Jiangqi. Upon arriving here, the role of guide had shifted from Bear to Wei Jiangqi.

He seemed very familiar with the place. Moving past huge, cylindrical, transparent incubators reminiscent of a jungle, they arrived before a silvery vault.

Wei Jiangqi asked lightly, "Have you opened it?"

Bear immediately knelt. "Following your instructions, I found this place, cleared it, and reinforced it as necessary. But I have absolutely never touched this vault, not even once."

Wei Jiangqi watched him for a moment, then slowly nodded. "You're not lying. Good."

The vault had a very old mechanical combination lock. Wei Jiangqi stepped forward and entered the password, one digit at a time. "It's fortunate you were obedient," he said. "This lock only allows three attempts. If all are wrong, the bomb inside will explode, with enough force to level this entire mountain range. Had you tried to open this door, you would have been obliterated long ago."
