Disaster Strikes - Chapter 55:

The deadline for returning to Disaster world was getting closer and closer.

Chen Mo seemed to have completely integrated into the life of PI Cage village, going out early and returning late, supporting himself and feeling the progress day by day. Now that he was about to leave he surprisingly felt a bit reluctant.

On this day, after a busy day at the dock Chen Mo who was about to finish his work and go home, followed behind Xuan Zong when he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Xuan Zong gestured for Chen Mo to not bother with it and step back. Their actions also represented the thoughts of the vast majority of dock workers – this matter had nothing to do with them, so it should be avoided it if possible.

A group of black-clothed gang members, holding axes and knives arrived at the dock once again to collect their monthly protection fee. However, standing in front of them at this moment were Brother Long and four to five dozen strong men holding clubs and facing them head-on, showing no intention of backing down.

The tall and burly brother Long stood at the forefront and took the initiative to speak.

“The Crocodile Gang has overstepped!”

Facing the provocation from brother Long, the second-in-command of the Crocodile Gang holding an axe stepped forward.

“What do you mean by overstepped? This entire street belongs to our Crocodile Gang, let alone your small dock. Brother Long, don’t think that just because you have a few brothers under you now, you can oppose us, the Crocodile Gang. I advise you to be smarter.”

Facing the threat, brother Long remained undaunted.

“I don’t care what rules the Crocodile Gang had before, but the rules here are now determined by me, brother Long! From today onwards, this dock will be under the care of our Pier Gang, so you and your group of brothers don’t need to bother anymore.”

“Hmph!”

After a cold snort, the second-in-command of the Crocodile Gang stopped talking.

He waved his axe and indifferently said “Attack!”

On the other side, brother Long’s men outnumbered the men of Crocodile Gang, brandishing iron rods on the spot, brother Long shouted saying “Brothers, follow me in this fight and you will be rich and prosperous from now on!”

The Pier Gang and the Crocodile Gang soon began to fight.

“Tsk tsk, so many black-clothed thugs.”

In Chen Mo’s eyes, the brawl between these two gangs were just a fight between a hundred black-clothed lackeys.

“Damn it, I’ve had enough of these damn Crocodile gang bastards!”

Many dock workers seeing this scene also rushed into the battle. With these workers continuously joining the fray, the situation became increasingly unfavourable for the Crocodile Gang.

Fortunately for the Crocodile gang, at this time their leader arrived with more men. The two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

However, this was ultimately Pier gang’s territory. The Crocodile Gang knew that without preparation fighting here would only lead to their disadvantage, so they quickly took a defensive stance and stopped advancing.

The leader of the Crocodile Gang, a fat man with a chest tattoo wearing a sun hat, had a sinister and vicious face. He had the strength of a small leader. As soon as he entered the fray, he easily killed several pier gangmembers. However, there were simply too many Pier gang members. Even with his presence, the Crocodile gang couldn’t gain any advantage.

After scanning the Pier gang members led by brother Long he said coldly, “Fine, you’re lucky this time. We’re leaving!”

“Boss!”

“Boss?”

Facing the confusion of his men behind him, the leader of the Crocodile Gang showed no intention of explaining and he led his men, carrying the wounded, and left in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, the victorious Pier gang members fell into a frenzy of celebration. Only brother Long and a few core members of the Pier gang looked at each other, their eyes seemingly devoid of the joy of victory.

A moment later, accompanied by the sound of sirens, the Nightless city police armed with firearms arrived in cars. Brother Long led the Pier gang members and quickly handed over the bribes that had already been prepared, smiling ingratiatingly and nodding.

The police captain took a drag of his cigarette, looked indifferently at the injured and corpses on the ground and casually pointed with his right hand.

Brother Long understood the signal. “Clean up!”

Immediately the Pier gang members carried the injured and dead to an inconspicuous place, while the police cars departed amidst its buzzing engine.

*******

Chen Mo, after his practice, tossed and turned unable to sleep. After some time he got up slowly and lfe the room quietly. After he left, Xuan Zong, who was in the dark, opened his eyes slowly looked and then slowly close them again.

He no longer wanted to get involved in any more martial arts matters, determined to retire completely. As for how Chen Mo chose, he had no power to restrain him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Despite the distance Chen Mo could hear the sound of gunshots, the flames of explosions at the dock, mixed with the shouts of fighting. He quickly approached and hid in a secluded corner, looking at the two sides of the battle.

Compared to the daytime, there were clearly more thugs gathered by the Crocodile Gang at this time.

These thugs of the Crocodile Gang were all dressed in black uniforms, wielding axes and knives. They surrounded the entire dock in layers, fighting with the members of the Pier gang, clearly having the absolute advantage.

Especially the leader of the Crocodile Gang, who took the lead, wielding two axes and was able to unleash power of a tiger, his strength was extraordinary. The members of the Pier gang were simply unable to resist, only with the help of some few mysterious black-clothed individuals armed with guns were they barely able to hold a few key positions.

A grenade was thrown from the Pier gang members’ side.

Boom!

With a violent explosion several members of the Crocodile Gang were killed by the blast. The second-in-command of the Crocodile Gang shouted in anger seeing this, “Boss, unleash it!”

The leader of the Crocodile Gang, who had expended a lot of energy was breathing slightly heavily, sweat dripping down his neck.

Although he felt reluctant, but seeing these Pier gang ruffians resist stubbornly with the help of those mysterious black-clothed individuals, he gave a faint, “Hmm.”

With permission granted, the second-in-command immediately led several core members of the gang to the rear of several cars. They opened the trunk and took out boxes of pre-prepared supplies.

“Bring the stuff over!”

At this moment, the second-in-command took out an inconspicuous black leather book, silently chanting a strange incantation. He gestured for his men to bring over the prepared bottles and using the crimson blood inside, painted on the ground. As the strange symbols gradually took shape, the atmosphere around them began to become eerie and mysterious, as if being watched by something terrifying.

Finally, a blood-red array filled with ominous, eerie and evil aura took shape.

“Offer the sacrifices.”

In the short period of time where he drew the symbols, the second-in-command seemed to be drained of strength, shouting weakly. The surrounding men opened several boxes, revealing crystal-clear energy stones and some ancient weapons and props. They poured them into the arrays drawn with blood-red runes.

“What are they doing?”

“Doesn’t seem right!”

The Pier gang members who were holding the dock noticed the Crocodile Gang’s bizarre behaviour and couldn’t help but voice their confusion. Even though they were far away they could still feel the chilling and eerie aura.

Watching from the shadows, Chen Mo couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Natural Disaster are coming?”

For beings from other worlds, the act of summoning natural disasters was called midnight sacrifice by some and disaster summoning by others. However, for natural disasters, this sacrificial array had a unified name: Disaster Strikes.

(TN – the literal translation should be disaster is coming.)

The investigator Jack had also conducted a similar ritual to summon Chen Mo and the others here.

The leader of the Pier gang, Brother Long, was now covered in multiple injuries, and upon seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise. He obviously knew some inside information.

“What are you waiting for!”

Brother Long shouted at the reinforcements brought by the Pier gang “Their ritual has begun. Once those guys descend, we…”

In fact, the reason brother Long dared to openly resist the powerful Crocodile Gang was because of the mysterious organization that these black-clothed people are from, they had approached him in secret and this gave him the courage to resist the Crocodile Gang under the drive of greed.

Not to mention, just these firearms alone were enough to give the Pier gang the capital to resist the Crocodile Gang.

However, at this moment when the Crocodile Gang’s disaster summoning ritual began, brother Long couldn’t help but feel anxious. He began to urge these black-clothed people to use their true power. But when one of them revealed a metallic mechanical arm and slowly lit a cigar in his mouth, he was instantly stunned.

“Ke Ke Ke!” The man under the black cloak slowly blew out a smoke ring, letting out a sinister laughter.

His eyes were fixed on the Crocodile Gang’s sacrificial ritual.

Under the influence of a mysterious power, the blood-red runes gradually emitted a dark red ominous light. The cold breath it was releasing was like the breath of an evil spirit from the abyss, coming towards them, making people shudder.

“Sure enough the forces of darkness have indeed begun to spread across this continent. Even these backward small countries have begun to use this power recklessly. Only the Organization can temporarily resist this dark power eroding away our world and gradually find a way to counterbalance this evil power.”

The man slowly opened his black cloak revealing a half-mechanical body underneath.

“The Organization’s orders are to give sufficient deterrence to those who want to use this power wantonly, to stop the spread of evil.”

“Yes Sir.”

With these cold words, one by one, the people wearing black cloaks took off their cloaks, put away their firearms, revealing their strong bodies and looked towards the Crocodile Gang.

“They are members of the Hive Organization.”

Chen Mo who was hiding in the dark had a slight change in his expression.

Although the two sides were separated by more than a hundred meters and could only see blurry figures by the firelight, the aura was unmistakable. Although these people were not numerou, they all had elite-level strength. Among them the half-mechanical modified person was probably a leader-level figure comparable to the One-eyed Dragon!

“This is bad.”

Chen Mo stared at the Crocodile Gang’s ritual of disaster summoning, unable to help but break out in a cold sweat.

If one day, he faced such a desperate task, what would he do?

The members of the Crocodile Gang were also stunned when they saw the Hive Organization members reveal themselves. When they saw the half-mechanical modified person step forward their faces changed drastically, this clearly exceeded the understanding of the average person here.

Buzz! At that moment, the sacrifice runes suddenly ignited.

Accompanied by a sudden rise of dark red flames, a blood-red demonic eye the size of a head appeared in mid-air. The eyeball rotated strangely, as if engaging in some kind of mental communication with the second-in-command. Then after the blood-red demonic eye swept around slowly, it quickly distorted.

The energy crystals for the sacrifice were swept away. In their place, six humanoid figures gradually emerged from the ashes of the burning blood runes.
