Both of them introduced their occupations and abilities. Boluo was fine since he had the same occupation as Marcus.

After Dora finished, Selena, the little demoness who never knew what kindness was, spoke indifferently, "How significant is this ability, anyway? Puppet, you can just equip a Mecha with a bunch of floating cannons controlled by combat AI, isn't that the same as her ability?"

Dora's cheeks and chest puffed up with anger, but she didn't know how to retort to the little demoness.

Marcus quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Dora's occupation has other abilities too, like an archer's intuition, which is very helpful for premonition of danger."

The little demoness didn't contradict the team leader, but her face was still full of disdain, clearly expressing her inner thoughts.

Dora sat to one side to sulk on her own.

Chen Gu wanted to ruffle her hair, seeing her upset like a little aggrieved puppy, but he refrained from doing so in front of everyone.

"All right," Marcus said, "let me talk about today's mission."

"The location of this operation is 'Poison of the Gods,' where the surface has complex building structures and numerous personnel, so the director has managed to obtain a mobile unit to act with us."

"But I must warn you, while the surface of 'Poison of the Gods' can still be considered human territory, below the ground... it's truly hell. If you fall in there, you must be extremely careful!"

"Everyone, maintain contact at all times. If someone goes missing, start the rescue immediately."

When 'Poison of the Gods' was mentioned, Melincha's eyes moved, and she sat up straight to listen carefully.

Marcus, as usual, emphasized "safety" first before he started the mission briefing. "This is the target for this mission: the leader of 'Mother of War,' Sidro."

A holographic image appeared, and everyone immediately started to shout, "How are we supposed to identify the target with this?"

"What the heck is 'Mother of War'?"

"This guy is so ugly..."

Marcus glared and pounded the table forcefully. "Quiet! Let me finish!"

"'Mother of War' is the third-largest gang in 'Poison of the Gods,' and their territory spans three whole streets! I remind you: do not underestimate them! 'Poison of the Gods' is a place where a child, as soon as they can run, will carry a gun on the streets to make a living. The danger of the third-largest gang is far beyond your imagination."

"Moreover, this operation is very likely to involve professionals."

He pointed again at Sidro. "Now, let's talk about this Sidro. Yes, this guy is left with only a brain and half a face."

On the holographic projection, Sidro was tall and muscular, with his 'Diamond Muscles' bulging out, wearing a black composite blast-resistant vest on his upper body, and dark green military pants on his lower half.

A wide belt was tightly buckled around his waist, with a large-caliber hand cannon hanging on each side.

The left one was an energy gun, and the right one was a gunpowder gun.

His head was entirely metallic, with two small wing-like wires at the back of his head—those were his ears.

A pair of eyes were conspicuously embedded in the metal sockets; apart from these eyes, the only biological tissue left on this face was a pair of lips.

He grinned wickedly in the holographic projection, revealing a set of steel teeth.

"Sidro is a native-born madman of 'Poison of the Gods.' When he was in his teens, during a street firefight, he ran into a crowd of foes with a bomb fashioned from a maglev car battery."

"That explosion shattered his entire body and fractured his skull. The only parts they found were his head, a pair of eyes, and two lips."

"To reward his bravery, his then-boss spent a fortune to bring him back, outfitting him with a metallic cybernetic body."

"However, the body he's using now is one he paid for himself after climbing to the top position of 'Mother of War' over a decade ago. Everyone knows 'Diamond Muscle' is currently the most advanced artificial muscle, and this cybernetic body's specs are close to that of a single Mecha!"

"And Sidro has certainly made some illegal modifications; his combat strength won't be weaker than that of an average professional."

"The most terrifying thing about this guy is his cunning and brutality."

"Anyone can dress up to impersonate Sidro, so this time, the city police department has prepared Sidro's genetic verification profile for us; we don't need to worry about being deceived by a body double."

"According to the intelligence currently held by the department, this guy joined the national crime syndicate 'Five Peaks Society' a year ago, becoming part of their vast illegal industrial chain, responsible for tasks like transportation and spearheading assaults."

"Information on the 'Five Peaks Society' has been sent to your emails. It's a criminal organization with a long history, ruthless methods, and a vast scale. Its key members are likely professionals, and they have insiders in various departments of Star Nation. They're entangled with cults like True Knowledge Sin, often cooperate with foreign hostile forces, and as long as there's money to be made, they're even willing to amicably collaborate with Mutants."

"This operation, our target is a safe box with a six-path encryption lock."

The holographic projection now showed what the safe box looked like.

"According to information from headquarters, this kind of box should have been transported here by now, with Sidro responsible for delivering it to the next location."

"The box contains a mysterious piece of super-life remains—the kind that can make generators! And this piece has strong radiation; you must not touch the remains without protection!"

Marcus stressed again, "Remember, safety first!"

Everyone stood up. "Yes!"

The operatives quickly mobilized, leaving the precinct building in their vehicles.

This operation was different from the past; the special service team was deployed first, while the action and cleanup teams waited outside 'Poison of the Gods,' only entering to wrap things up after Chen Gu and his team had completed their task.

The reason for this arrangement was that the area was 'Poison of the Gods,' where nearly every person could be a spy for the gang.

A large group of strangers would give themselves away no matter how well they tried to hide.

On the road, Chen Gu read through the 'Five Peaks Society' materials while asking Marcus, "Team leader, where are they planning to send this piece of remains?"

"We still don't know the final destination," Marcus replied. "We just know the 'Five Peaks Society' plans to auction off this piece of remains to the highest bidder. Extremist forces, including True Knowledge Sin, are prospective buyers."

Joseph couldn't help interjecting, "What would those fanatics from True Knowledge Sin need this piece of remains for?"

Marcus shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe they want to use it to make a super bomb to destroy a planet—who can say what they're incapable of?"
