Глава 5

These are the updates on Reunion's movements and each squad's progress.

Over.

Understood.

Continue the operation. Our objective is to drive all Reunion forces into the designated area.

If small groups of stragglers are seen in other districts, you are authorized to eliminate them.

Try to draw them out if possible. Focus on avoiding casualties. We'll need to preserve our strength.

Yes ma'am.

Phew...

Hmm? Another call?

Hello, hello? Is this Ah Ch'en? Are you still there?

What did you call me?!

Ah Ch'en. You're done for! You're so dead for what happened at Paci Plaza. I heard it myself - you were the one who gave those orders!

Is that all you wanted to say?

Look, why did you reject Rhodes Island's help? Was it because you felt guilty?

I don't recall you being a psychologist.

Don't worry, I'll help you make reparations.

Reparations?

Hehe, I can't tell you yet.

But, you're so done for because of what you did!

By the way, do you still remember that one restaurant in Sheung Wan?

Huh? Which one? Well, whichever one it is, they're all closed now!

Wait... are you trying to change the subject?!

The one with that absolutely divine steak sandwich.

Huh? Oh... OHH! I just remembered! The restaurant with a steak burger as big as your palms put side by side!

That's the one.

I used to go there quite often while on my patrols... Get down! Who said you could stand up?!

Aaah!!

What was that place called again? Goodie Foodie?

Sounds about right.

Aha, now I get it. You're going to treat me to a meal, aren't you? But why don't we go to some place a bit more high-class?

Your idea of 'high-class' is very different from mine.

Come on, I can foot the bill.

Miss S, do you really think I'm that kind of person?

Do you want to try calling me that again?

Sorry, I bit my tongue.

You clearly did that on purpose!

Swire, I was just thinking... If we don't do a better job this time, we won't be able to face the locals.

Our businesses depend on Lungmen, and Lungmen also depends on them.

If you feel that way, you should stop running your mouth. The sooner we take down Reunion, the sooner you can treat me to brunch.

Seems like the fighting is pretty intense on your end as well?

Ah, it's fine. I can handle it.

Quick! They're about to get away!

How annoying! Hey, hurry it up! We don't have all day!

Ah Ch'en! I want a steak, tomato, and egg burger!

No problem.

Sorry for accidentally locking you up in the vault that other time.

You call that an accident? ! I know you did that on purpose! Whatever, it felt cathartic splashing water all over you this morning, so I guess we're even.

Hey, Ah Ch'en.

Hmm?

Safety first. Don't throw your life away for the sake of what's immediately in front of you. Remember that there are lots of people who are counting on you.

Hmph, is that so. Thanks for your advice.

Now that you're in front of the restaurant, that means you're almost at the L.G.D. Headquarters, right?

That's right.

Good luck.

670m east of L.G.D. Headquarters, Upper Factor St., Upper Lungmen

Madam Ch'en, Fourth Mobile Squad reporting in.

Good work.

All of you assembled here are the cream of the crop. As we speak, many of our colleagues are still out there fighting. But we have our own mission.

The building in front of us used to be the symbol of Lungmen's safety — the embodiment of law and order, the heart of the L.G.D.

But now, it has fallen into Reunion's hands, and has been tainted by conspiracy and warfare.

Some of you might see this as just another job. Some of you might be saddened, while others might be enraged.

No matter how you feel, we are the L.G.D. We aren't rioters, nor are we criminals.

We will take back our headquarters, not necessarily for the sake of pride or justice.

We will do it because we are the L.G.D., and we will take back what belongs to us. That's the only reason we need.

Do not make Lungmen worry about us. Do I make myself clear?! Obedience, diligence, and perseverance!

It's time. Let us rid the L.G.D. Headquarters of every last Reunion member!

Yes ma'am!

Let's go.

第六关（后）

11:20 P.M. \ Overcast

Outside Immigration Department, L.G.D. Headquarters 2nd Floor, Upper Lungmen.

Madam Ch'en, something's wrong. Don't you think it's strange that we were able to enter the headquarters so easily?

There were so many Reunion forces outside so we braced ourselves for a hard fight, but it was as if they were sleepwalking.

According to our scouts' intel, their equipment is practically damaged to the point of unusability. It's unlikely that they've seen much combat, and their degree of preparedness seems...

It creeps me out.

I've noticed as well. They don't even know we're here. At least they're not a threat right now.

We'll follow the plan. Next, our non-combat squads will scout out the distribution of Reunion forces on each floor, and attempt to restart the security system that was disabled earlier.

Additionally, we'll need to be ready to hold off a possible Reunion encirclement. We must hold out until our plan is implemented smoothly.

Understood.

Focus your attention on controlling the situation inside.

According to our sources, Reunion's temporary command center is on the rooftop.

The rooftop? What kind of leader would put their command center on the roof?

Hmm... there's a significant possibility of this being a trap.

But we don't have a choice, do we, Madam?

That's right. Taking back the rooftop would be like lighting Lungmen's signal beacon. We will let Reunion witness the moment when the L.G.D. Headquarters returns to our hands.

We ought to lead them all here.

Get ready, there are still a few hours to go. Let the recon and engineer squads go first. The combat squads still have some time to rest up before the main operation begins.

Don't waste even the smallest opportunity to create an advantage. Expect our enemies to fight to the death.

Madam Ch'en, something doesn't feel right about this building.

What do you mean?

Let me make a conjecture first. As we get closer to the top floor, we may encounter some resistance. Perhaps there are some enemies stationed on the roof.

However, the lower floors were completely empty. Only on the sixth floor did enemies start to appear, and while their numbers have increased, they haven't posed any threat.

Just now, one of my squad members reported that he thought he saw some Reunion members walk down a corridor, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Another member told me that he heard some whispering, but when he went to investigate, he didn't find anything.

That's all we found from our investigation. But something feels wrong to me still.

Let's go first. I don't have time for your nonsensical ghost stories.

Even if there was something anomalous going on, I'll handle it after this is all over.

Yes ma'am!

Let's take the fire escape route here. Though we don't it often, it's going to come in handy now.
