This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 147: Torch Attack, Headshot

"What on earth do you want this for?" Ford asked again.

"It's a secret." Li Ming chuckled. Ford was reluctant to leave, so Li Ming drove him to another room.

He rubbed his hands together and began to absorb the metal energy in the star core with great anticipation.

In the room, Ford paced back and forth, extremely curious. He knew that Li Ming had a secret.

I couldn't help but walk to the door and wanted to open it quietly, but my face turned dark and the door was locked from the outside.

Bored to death, he could only wait until the evening. In order to prevent him from getting into any accidents, Sang came several times.

Finally, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the last bit of star core fragments disappeared.

His eyes were burning with anger. Each of these four pieces of star core fragments provided him with nearly 1.5 million metal energies.

The current metal energy balance has reached an astonishing six million, with a fraction more.

This sense of satisfaction and fulfillment really made him addicted.

Immediately, he spent one million to gain control of the [Secret Record of Flame and Thunder Liberation].

After consuming it, a large amount of information was infused into the body, and arcs and flames appeared in the body, as if something was engraved into the genes, and it was even faintly painful.

This feeling didn't last long and soon disappeared.

There are still five million left, and the [Theory of Genetic Isomorphism] placed in the temporary command post must also be controlled.

However, the situation was calm during this period and he had no chance to slack off.

"What are you doing?" He let Ford out of the room, and Ford looked at the four boxes suspiciously.

"Just leave the things here?"

"It's okay..." Li Ming was in a good mood: "Let's go."

.........

Two days later, in a villa in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, a group of people gathered here. They all looked extremely pious and full of expectation.

On the floor, a sacrificial array was engraved, with a large amount of dark magnetic titanium scattered on it.

All around were quiet, ready to go. The leader looked down at the time, his expression becoming more and more fanatical, and shouted, "Begin!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the sacrifice began, and the playback device could hear what sounded like chanting.

A long, narrow red spatial crack opened from the center of the magic circle, swallowing up the dark magnetic titanium.

Then, with the chanting, red arcs of electricity burst out all around, and everyone's hair flew.

As if reaching a certain limit, the red crack suddenly shrank, and then a red thunderstorm ring with a diameter of tens of meters exploded with it as the center.

It included everyone in it, and then turned into a thick red beam with a diameter of tens of meters.
Rich red thunder wrapped around the light beam rose up and hit the aerospace shield directly, and the crystal structure became clearly visible in an instant.

Bang! !

The shock wave spread rapidly, and the energy ripples were visible to the naked eye. A crack appeared in the honeycomb crystal structure of the aerospace shield. The red electric arc continued to spread along the crack, and finally broke it apart!
Click!

A small crack appeared in the aerospace shield, and then it expanded rapidly.

Under the cover of night, many people looked straight in this direction, stunned.

In another wilderness, there was also a group of people. A wormhole was torn in space, and then several figures jumped out of it. They were all wearing white flame cloaks and had solemn expressions. The breath of high-level food chain creatures made people extremely frightened.

And at the moment when that red beam of light shot up into the sky, the temporary command post on Wu Yanqing's experimental island was in an uproar.

"Ultra-high energy reaction detected, the aerospace shield has been damaged, the space matrix detected the destruction of an unknown fleet, they are approaching rapidly..."

"Notify the city guards, ground rapid response units, special operations units..."

All the staff had expressions of impatience and confusion on their faces, but they managed to work in an orderly manner.

until--
"Ziz-ziz--"

All the virtual screens went black at the same time. All the staff members who were talking or walking around stopped and looked around in confusion.

"The signal is being jammed. All signal bands are being jammed!"

"I can't contact the outside world..."

Standing on the command platform, Ren Cangsong with a serious expression quickly rushed out of the command post and ran into Chen Jinglong head-on.

Before he could speak, he heard the other party say in a deep voice: "Hurry up and retreat. It's not safe here anymore. Find Li Ming and Ford. The first target of the torch must be them."

Ren Cangsong nodded solemnly, but saw Sangge and Ford coming hurriedly, followed by a large number of Itlan guards.

"What's the situation now?" he asked in a deep voice.

"The signal has been cut off. I suspect the torch is nearby." Ren Cangsong quickly explained the current situation.

"No, it's Visander." Sanger added, "A dimensional creature that can interfere with most of the electromagnetic bands in the area. The torch may not be nearby, but it will be here soon."

Chen Jinglong looked at Ford and frowned, "Where's Li Ming? Isn't he with you?"

"They were together originally, but he disappeared after the signal was interfered with." Ford shook his head.

"He won't run away, will he?" Chen Jinglong looked uncertain.

"Run away?" Ren Cangsong hesitated: "Not really. Under the current circumstances, it is safer for him to follow us."

Chen Jinglong shook his head: "No, no one knows how many people have come with the Torch and what their strength is. We are too big a target and it will be easy for us to be found."

"Hurry up and find him!" Sanger said hurriedly: "The dimensional creature Kutli can lock the information state of life forms within a certain range. It will be troublesome if he is left alone."

"Dean, what kind of image do I have in your mind?" Li Ming appeared slowly from the corner, speechless.

He just took advantage of the opportunity when the signal was cut off to control the [Theory of Genetic Isomorphism]. Now there is nothing valuable in this laboratory and temporary command post.

"Where have you been?" Ren Cangsong couldn't help but ask, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the big metal box behind Li Ming.

"Confirm the specific situation." Li Ming explained. No one knew whether to believe it or not. Anyway, now was not the time to pursue the matter. The most urgent thing was to leave here as soon as possible.

Chen Jinglong said quickly: "We need to travel light, so it's not suitable to bring too many people. Their target must be you two, so we only need B-level life forms and C-level life forms to follow us."

"Everyone else will stay here, where they will be safer."

Luo Chuan hurried out of the laboratory, and everyone quickly boarded a heavy armored transport vehicle that remained here, left the island, and went deeper into the ocean.

There were not many people traveling together, including Ren Cangsong, Chen Jinglong and Sangge, three B-level life forms.

Luochuan, as well as the two captains of the Royal Guard, Doral and Tied, were all C-level life forms and it was too late for them to wait for the others.

"I don't know where they will come from, but it will definitely not be from the sea." This is why Chen Jinglong chose to flee to the depths of the sea, and he wanted to escape the signal shielding range. Li Ming unloaded the box behind him in the corner. It was two meters high, taller than himself. Ford looked at it several times, but couldn't help asking: "What's in it?"

"Weapons and equipment." Li Ming answered casually. Ren Cangsong glanced at him but didn't care.

The armored transport vehicle was not moving very fast. No one spoke in the cabin and the atmosphere was silent.

Until Chen Jinglong's face darkened, "Here it comes!"

The armored transport vehicle stopped suddenly. Through the observation screen, one could see that on the sea not far away, there were two life forms that were wantonly emitting their own energy fluctuations, causing waves.

In the armored vehicle's energy detection field of view, energy was erupting around the two people all the time, with an astonishing intensity.

"They are all B-level life forms. They found us so quickly." Ren Cangsong looked solemn. Even though the other party only had two B-level life forms, he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Let's stop him, two of us." Ren Cangsong responded quickly, pointing at Chen Jinglong.

But the next moment, two more figures gathered together, and the energy reactions on their bodies were equally astonishing.

"Two more Class B life forms?" Sang's face looked grim.

"All three of us have to stay. The rest of you, take Li Ming and Ford away." Chen Jinglong rushed out without hesitation.

"Be careful!" Ren Cangsong said to everyone. Sangge glanced at Ford and gritted his teeth and rushed out.

boom!
The war broke out in an instant, a circular air wave exploded, and almost no trace of the people could be seen. Various elements caused rolling waves, and the armored transport vehicles shook constantly.

This is a Class B life form in its prime. Caroline was already seriously injured at the time and didn't show much power at all.

Li Ming withdrew his gaze, his expression calm.

Luo Chuan operated the armored transport vehicle and turned it around until it was out of the combat range. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:
"I wonder if there are any Class B life forms left. If there are, today will be dangerous."

However, just as he finished speaking, the operating screen of the armored transport vehicle flickered, and finally went completely black, and the heavy vehicle body fell uncontrollably towards the ocean below.

"Oh no! Directed electromagnetic interference!" Luo Chuan's face changed drastically. He urgently activated the manual mode. Airbags popped out on both sides of the armored vehicle and fell to the sea level as the cabin vibrated.

At some point, four small aircraft appeared in the sky around them, forming a siege.

"Their goal is to capture people. We are staying in the same space. The other side will never use weapons of mass destruction. This is our opportunity."

"There should be no Class B life forms for the time being. If we can kill these people, we may be able to escape." Luo Chuan looked solemn as he analyzed the current situation.

But then, a series of steel cable hooks shot out from the shuttle-shaped aircraft.

Bang! The drill bit at the front was driven into the armor plate.

Metal hooks popped out from all sides and latched onto the metal panel tightly. The drill in the center moved quickly, piercing the alloy ceramic shell of the armored transport vehicle with a buzzing sound, releasing some kind of gas.
"Toxic gas!" Luo Chuan's heart sank. He knew he couldn't delay any longer. He exchanged a glance with Dolar, then opened the hatch and rushed out directly.

All three were also wearing full sets of combat armor, but the problem was that these aircraft were hanging in the sky.

Luochuan used the force to shake the transport vehicle under his feet and jumped dozens of meters, but he still could not reach those aircraft.

The firearms in Dolar's and his men's hands had even more limited lethality, and it was difficult for them to penetrate the opponent's alloy shell.

"We're in trouble..." Luo Chuan looked unhappy. They couldn't fly, and the air-to-ground attack was simply a crushing defeat.

In the cabin, Ford stared in amazement as Li Ming reached into the iron box and took out a heavy electromagnetic sniper rifle.

It was then placed on the hatch, storing energy. With a loud bang, an energy film on the surface of an aircraft flashed, and then it exploded, sparks flew, and it lost power and crashed into the sea.

"Okay!" Luo Chuan looked back, his expression slightly shocked.

boom! boom! boom!
With one shot after another, all four shuttle-type hovercraft were blown up by Li Ming. After falling into the sea, there were still survivors, all four of whom were C-level life forms.

Luochuan and others have been fighting with the enemy. It is three against four. They are not at an advantage in numbers, but the gap in strength is not big, so they can still put up a fight.

"Oh no, they're going to arrest someone."

Luo Chuan suddenly shouted loudly, and then he realized that he and others were already quite far away from the armored transport vehicle.

A member of the Torch Organization has already rushed over, also wearing combat armor, with noticeably thicker armor on his feet.

Compressed gas was ejected from the rear, and it glided on the sea. It was fully prepared when it came, and it rushed straight towards the armored transport vehicle at an incredibly fast speed.

Dolar's face changed drastically and he became anxious. He wanted to rush over, but he was held back and could only watch.

boom!
The metal hatch was torn into pieces like paper. The opponent was burly and had no elemental power. His goal was clear, and he rushed straight into the armored transport vehicle.

Then, it flew backwards at an even faster speed and landed on the sea level.

"Huh?" Luo Chuan looked dazed. As metal fragments flew around, Li Ming rushed out of the armored transport vehicle, holding a plasma sword with silver particles surging on it, rapidly spreading in length and width.

"The intelligence is wrong. Target No. 1's strength level is not right." The man shouted, the armor on his chest already deeply dented.

boom!
The armored transport vehicle tilted suddenly, and Li Ming broke through the air, holding a silver mechanical giant sword. During the process, azure electric arcs gradually covered the mechanical giant sword.

Keng!
The sound of metal friction was sharp and piercing. The opponent's arms expanded several times and crossed in front of him, but most of them were cut by the silver giant sword. Violent arcs of electricity burst all over his body, making his body weak and unable to even wail.

Luo Chuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Li Ming twisted the sword suddenly, and raging flames burst out from the silver giant sword again.

The burly figure howled and thrashed in the ocean, but the flames on his body continued to burn and never went out.

A few days ago, he used the mother ore sent by Sun Jingan to strengthen the [Justice Armguard] and gained a special ability called "Burning Fire".

It is a fire-related ability with considerable lethality.

Li Ming's current development progress is close to 70%. With the support of the control objects of the combat system and the help of the [Thunder Frenzy] ability, he can fight back and forth with ordinary C-level life forms.

The opponent's development progress is no more than 30% of level C, so he is no match for him.

Luo Chuan stared in astonishment, and only now realized that Li Ming... killed a C-level life form?

"Be careful!" Luo Chuan suddenly shouted, and when he found that the people who were besieging them suddenly turned around and rushed towards Li Ming without any hesitation.

The three of them quickly chased after them, trying to stop them.

Li Ming did not stop moving. He pulled his right hand behind him and held the super electromagnetic heavy sniper rifle hanging behind him in his hand.

[Bullet Sacrifice] is activated, and more than 40 times the thunder element is attached to the bullet.

In an instant, the sniper rifle vibrated continuously, and a dazzling flash of lightning burst out from the muzzle.

boom!
The terrifying power that was accumulated burst out, and the super-compressed electromagnetic bullet roared out, leaving a surging wave on the sea level. The blazing electric arc also stirred up a large amount of white water vapor, directly piercing the forehead of one of them!
