After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 221 - 176: Raven Nest Raid_2

After clearing out the enemies, Su Mo kept coughing and gasping, reaching up to feel the bullet hole in his head. The bullet had left a small dent in his skull.

Fortunately, his Mad Corpse Blood Code had reached the "High Tier of Awakening," and his bone hardness was sufficient to withstand bullets. Otherwise, this shot would have cost him his life.

"Dammit... Can't believe I was ambushed by a bunch of little punks..."

He immediately took out his phone and called the security center of Edge Mansion.

As soon as the call connected, before he could speak, a strong feeling of oppression suddenly attacked from the side.

"Dong!" A heavy punch slammed into Su Mo's wrist, sending him flying, and his phone shattered from the impact.

Su Mo rolled to his feet, glaring coldly at his assailant.

Upon realizing who it was, he spoke with self-mockery, "I just warned my companions to watch out for you guys, didn't expect to get hit myself first."

Through the swirling dust, a tall figure emerged, eyes fixed coldly on Su Mo.

Su Mo: "Last time at the Dragon Gate Restaurant, it's been a while, Simon."

The newcomer was none other than Simon, who had a past encounter with Su Mo at the Dragon Gate Restaurant, and was one of the "Crow's Nest Seven."

From around the corner behind Simon, a dozen men in plain clothes emerged, obviously disguised Crow's Nest Thugs.

Simon kicked aside the scattered bodies at his feet, smirking, "I thought Grand Captain Su was a merciful person, didn't expect you to strike so decisively."

Squinting, Su Mo said, "They tried to blow my head off with a gun, why should I be courteous to them? I mean, you guys at Crow's Nest seem to hold me in high regard, deploying the Crow's Nest Seven against me, is that necessary?"

Simon's gaze was mocking, "Is it not? Grand Captain Su is now a favorite of the authorities, the brightest new star in the Mercenary Realm, I'm afraid I might not live up to your status."

Trading barbs aside, Su Mo sensed the situation was dire.

Crow's Nest was the largest violent group on the border, and the Crow's Nest Seven were the fiercest among them.

Simon, as a Blood Code Carrier, had a blood code of "Critical Low Tier," two major levels above Su Mo, making him a significantly higher-ranking enemy.

Although Su Mo had Crimson Rose, Mad Corpse, and Python Venom blood codes, along with Wolverine Spine and Moon Concealing Arm Blade prosthetic implants, allowing his body functions to crush opponents of the same tier.

However, two of his blood codes were "High Tier of Awakening," and one was "Low Tier of Awakening," still quite far from Simon's level, leaving Su Mo unsure if he could defeat an enemy two major levels above him.

To make things worse, Crow's Nest didn't play fair, not only dispatching experts but also adding a dozen additional helpers, all of whom appeared to be elite thugs.

Wiping away the blood from his lips, Su Mo continued to stall, "What's the point of a bunch attacking me? How about letting me call for backup, and we'll have a fair duel."

Simon coldly replied, "Fair? Defectors from the border aren't worthy of speaking of fairness."

He led the charge towards Su Mo, and the rest of the Crow's Nest Thugs spread out, surrounding Su Mo tightly with the intent to finish him off.

...

"Miss, here's the ice cream you ordered." The waiter handed two ice creams to Dongdong.

Dongdong eagerly started nibbling on one while extending her wrist chip to pay.

The waiter, a male, naturally talked more when facing a pretty little girl, smilingly asked, "Why are you carrying a baseball bat? Are you a baseball player?"

Dongdong nonchalantly replied, "It's for hitting people."

Waiter: "...huh?"

After paying, Dongdong left with her ice cream.

Upon exiting, she noticed the mall's corridor was crowded with people, each looking terrified as if fleeing from disaster.

Curious, she randomly asked someone, "What's going on?"

The person, still in shock, replied, "There seems to be a massacre outside, there's blood everywhere!"

Coming from the border, Dongdong had seen lots of violence and gleefully said, "Oh, I'm going to check out the excitement, see who the unlucky guy is getting chopped up~"

She swaggered out of the mall against the crowd, still singing, "Little sea snail, blowing di-di-di, seagulls hear it, oops!"

She saw Su Mo getting hacked at by a group, panicking and dropping her ice cream as she sprinted over, "Boss!!!"

One Crow's Nest Thug attacking Su Mo suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, followed by a solid thump on the back of his head.

This thug was a Prosthetic Implanter with "Stringently Managed Level 2" alloy bones and shock absorbers in his head and neck, barely withstanding a blow powerful enough to kill an elephant.

With a twisted face, he turned to fight Dongdong when another gust of wind swept up from below.

"Dong!!!"

This club spun fiercely between the thug's legs, the massive force lifting him half a meter off the ground. When he landed, he fell straight down, his nervous system overwhelmed by the pain, causing him to collapse foaming at the mouth.

Dongdong coldly said, "Dare to lay a hand on my boss, I'll bust you up!"

Though this low-down tactic was appalling, the thugs present were all elite from Crow's Nest, well-trained, some continuing to attack Su Mo while three others went to team up against Dongdong.

These three thugs were all Prosthetic Implanters, having completed full-body prosthetic replacements, every component at a Stringently Managed Level, matching Dongdong in hardware with very strong combat abilities.

Two of them attacked from both sides, pinning Dongdong's arms with grappling techniques, while the third thrust a prosthetic blade at her heart.

"Swish—" The thug's blade hadn't hit yet when a long black shadow attacked like lightning.

Dongdong's bionic tail transformed into combat mode, black fur retracting to reveal metallic barbs, the stabbing speed utterly unstoppable.

"Pffft!" The bionic tail pierced through the breastbone like cutting tofu and with a sharp pull, extracted a large amount of blood, lung tissue, and metal fragments.

The severely injured thug immediately turned ashen, collapsing to the ground.

The Profound Cat-type Artificial Body was a new prosthetic developed by Iron Blood Alliance this year, not yet circulated on the black market, very few having seen it. The bionic tail unexpectedly caught the thug off guard, leaving him at a severe disadvantage.

After flooring one thug, Dongdong grabbed the two pinning her arms with a grim smile, "Die!"

The second lethal feature of the Profound Cat-type Artificial Body activated.

"Szzz—" Blinding arcs sparked from Dongdong's arms as ultra-high voltage currents shot into the two thugs, ravaging their bodies.

The two thugs screamed, convulsing uncontrollably under the high-voltage currents, unable to escape, their flesh charred and prosthetics failing, collapsing motionless on the ground.

Dongdong single-handedly took down four peers but also suffered significant depletion.

The power demand for high-voltage currents was immense, a trump card weapon.

Having fried two peers at once, Dongdong's internal power core became unstable, forcing it into "Low Power Mode."

A supporting thug dodged Dongdong's club sweep, thrusting a blade like lightning towards her throat.

In Low Power Mode, the prosthetic's performance was compromised, slowing Dongdong's movements, making it impossible to dodge. She could only raise her arm to block the attack at the cost of injury.

In the nick of time, Su Mo suddenly appeared to the side of the thug, snapping his wrist with a bone claw, rescuing Dongdong.

Su Mo was about to finish off the enemy when Simon arrived just in time, shoulder barging him away.

Simon twisted his neck, producing cracking sounds, striding towards the downed Su Mo, "Still saving your subordinate? Better take care of yourself first."

"Boss!" Dongdong struggled to block Simon.

Su Mo shouted, "Focus on handling the others, I'll handle this!"

Displaying strong combat skills, Dongdong obeyed immediately, bypassing Simon to intercept other thugs.

Simon leapt, kicking towards Su Mo, who rolled away to dodge.

"Boom!" The landing spot shattered into a web-like crater several meters in diameter, the sonic boom deafening, showcasing terrifying power.

Getting up, Su Mo draw out his trusty gun and repeatedly fired at Simon.

Bullets danced in the air like silver snakes, targeting Simon's head.

Simon sneered, his body trembling abruptly, ghastly Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone vastly proliferating, leaving gaps only at the joints, the rest of his body, including the head, encased in the Rigid Bone.

"Clang, clang, clang——" In front of the Critical Low Tier Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone, the bullets from Su Mo's gun lacked the power, all being deflected, leaving only shallow dents.

Simon, unfazed by the bullets, collided his fists covered with Rigid Bone before him, advancing on Su Mo like a human tank.
