This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 164 Goods Arrived
Atom's words resonated with people, and the channel suddenly became noisy with all kinds of insults.

No one cared that Ruby's relatives had died; they only cared whether they could get a share of the money in the end.

Before the discovery of that batch of goods, there was no point and no motivation in fighting the Sera people.

"Y-yeah, I get it," Yaro mimicked Ruby's tone, even if the voice was slightly different, that was normal after the battle.

"Get back here right now!" Atom shouted, and then there was no sound, and the channel was filled with laughter.

Yaluo breathed a sigh of relief, but until this moment, he still didn't react.

It can be said that since Li Ming got on the boat, he has been pushed around by the other party, including everything that just happened, and he had no time to think at all.

He glanced at the corpses all over the ground and felt even more frightened. He knew that Li Ming's strength was beyond his evolutionary level.

But they didn't expect the opponent to be so strong. Ruby and Luka couldn't even last a moment under his hands.

Moreover, although Li Ming's actions seemed reckless, he was actually cautious in every step and had already thought of a solution.

Monster, what a monster! He was secretly shocked and then looked at Li Ming, only to find that the other party had already started dealing with the corpse. He was so familiar with it that he didn't even blink, as if he was used to it.

Logically speaking, although Li Ming's resume includes experience of serving in the City Guard, he has not experienced many major operations, but he seems to be too accustomed to corpses.

But this was not enough to surprise Yaluo, and he immediately joined the ranks of dealing with the corpses.

After cleaning up the place a little and erasing any traces that might lead to recognition, he and Yaluo continued to rush towards their destination.

The dark black earth stretches to the end of the sight. As far as the eye can see, the sky is gray and the thin atmosphere causes all kinds of star radiation to wreak havoc on the surface.

Gusts of choking wind blew in my face, carrying countless fine sands with them. The huge wind force pulled everything on the surface.

If you look down from outer space, you can see that they are heading towards the center of a huge storm cyclone, with black thunder spreading along the storm.

The deeper we went, the more violent the storm became. Communication equipment was disrupted and could no longer be used. Visibility was even lower, and we could only identify directions by feel.

"Wait a minute, let me think about the location..." Yaluo shouted loudly, and the wind and sand poured into his mouth, "Pooh! Pooh!"

After entering this area, the navigator could no longer be used and the direction was completely lost. He had stopped several times.

"Come with me, I know where the canyon is." Li Ming shook his head without slowing down at all. After all, Yaluo's approximate direction was correct.

That Grand Canyon is already within the perception range of [Intelligent Assistance].

"You know?" Yaluo was surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions and hurried to catch up.

After more than ten minutes, he really saw a black canyon with almost no edge.

"It's this canyon!" Yaluo said in surprise. The two climbed down along the edge of the canyon. It was not deep, and they fell to the bottom.

The storm here was not as strong, and visibility was actually farther. Yaluo searched for the terrain features in his memory.

Two or three hours later, he finally took Li Ming to find the travel transport ship. Most of the hull was stuffed into a huge cave, and the surface was full of potholes.

"The Raduo is this spaceship." Yaluo sighed, his hand rubbed across the metal hole on the surface of the spaceship, and then prepared to go in and take a look.

"Okay, junior brother, let's get ready to move. The two of us can move tens of millions." Ya Luo rolled up his sleeves and was about to enter the cabin, but was stopped by Li Ming with a smile on his face.

"Brother, I have a suggestion. Find a safe place and wait for me for a while."

"What do you mean?" Yaluo was puzzled.

"I'm going to give them a surprise, so I need to prepare." Li Ning explained vaguely, which obviously did not satisfy Ya Luo. He said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, you will get your share." Li Ming did not give a direct answer.

Yaluo shook his head. "This is not a matter of money. There's no need to take any more risks. Do you still want to drive the spaceship away?"

Seeing that Li Ming was just looking at him with a smile but a firm attitude, Ya Luo felt helpless and hesitated to speak. He could only leave here temporarily.

I didn't walk far. I found a cave hiding in the upper part of the stone wall on one side of the canyon. I could vaguely see this place.

"Ah..." He sighed and crawled down. His expression changed slightly. He looked up at the black vortex above the sky. "That guy should still be in Atom's hands."

Then he laughed bitterly again, "How did things turn out like this? Trouble, trouble!"

Li Ming could clearly sense where Yalu was. After making sure that he was far away from here, he couldn't help rubbing his hands.

They found the hatch, forced it open, went in to take a look, and sure enough, discovered a large amount of metal material in the lower transport cabin.

"Star magnetic alloy has excellent energy conductivity and high stability. It is often used as the core material of large-scale orbital energy weapons." Li Ming glanced at it.

These alloy materials covered the entire transport cabin, and at a rough estimate, they flashed a bright blue light under the dim light, and really looked like a starry electromagnetic cloud.

First try to restart the spacecraft. The main energy system has failed, but there is still some backup energy left. The system self-inspection failed and the hull has too much damage.

Li Ming took out the smart terminal with ease, preparing to obtain the advanced permissions of the spacecraft first.

There are some loopholes in Yaluo's story. Li Ming believes that the other party is not trying to harm him, and there must be other reasons. In order to avoid accidents, he wants to find out.

The lights on the hull kept flashing, and Li Ming began to absorb metal energy. The energy density of star magnetic alloy metal was not too high, of course, compared with the star core.

This also means that he needs more time to thoroughly digest these materials.

Time passed by minute by minute. Two hours later, Duke Bai Ye came down from a small ground-based aircraft with a frown on his face. There were corpses lying on the ground.

Neil quickly stepped forward to report, "Your Excellency the Duke, the entire fourth squad was wiped out, but only Colonel Sermo's body was not found."

"Also, the Colonel's armor is offline and its location cannot be determined."

Duke Bai Ye's expression did not change. It was because the major had not returned for a long time that aroused the suspicion of the temporary command center. After reporting to him, he sent people to verify.

"We found the body of the Great Axe - Luka, he was a C-level life form." Neil added.

Duke Bai Ye's face changed slightly. He quickly stepped forward and found the body cut into several pieces. The edges of the wounds were charred. This kind of injury gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"According to the colonel's report, he was ambushed. It should be a two-on-one situation, and he could have killed one more. Why didn't he say anything?" Duke Bai Ye's eyes flickered.

"The bodies were not taken away either. They were left here. I remember that the looters would freeze the bodies of their dead companions and squeeze out the last bit of value."

"There is a problem." Duke Bai Ye vaguely realized something and looked around. The "Sermo" reported before was probably fake. "There is a third party on this planet." "Bring me the map of this area." Neil was shocked when he heard this and quickly took out the smart terminal. Duke Bai Ye saw the black area closer to here at a glance.

"What is this place?"

"This is a supermagnetic thunderstorm area, and electronic systems will encounter serious interference in it." Neil explained: "The colonel was responsible for searching this area. After the ambush, he reported to the headquarters that the area had been cleared of suspicion."

"Eliminate the suspicion? I'm afraid it's here!" Duke Bai Ye's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Call everyone here and search this area carefully!"

"Wait!" He called Neil again and added, "Not all of them. Take half of the people from each team. There will be five C-level life forms left. Transfer three of them over."

"understand!"

Duke Bai Ye looked at the black storm with deep eyes.

.........

Soon, another three hours passed. Yaluo had been in a state of high tension and was a little tired. He stared at the location of the spaceship.

"Brother, what on earth are you doing?"

He was anxious, as their disguises wouldn't last long. The predators were a little better, as their rules were loose.

But it’s different for the Sera people. If the colonel doesn’t return for a long time, it will definitely attract attention. A quick investigation at the scene will reveal that something is wrong.

Several times he wanted to go and see what Li Ming was doing, but remembering the time when he was almost beaten to death, he forced himself to hold back.

"You go over there..." Amid the howling of the raging storm, a faint voice was heard, and Yaluo's face suddenly changed.

Cautiously moving towards the edge of the cave and looking down, he saw several fully armed Sera people exploring inch by inch on the canyon floor not far away.

The distance between them is well controlled so that they can see each other and if any problems arise, they can issue an immediate warning.

"Fuck, it's really coming!" Yaluo cursed himself for his bad mouth and became more and more anxious.
The only benefit now is that electronic systems located in thunderstorm areas are disturbed.

Even if it is discovered immediately, it will take some time for the message to be passed back.

This is their only chance. If they rush out and pull Li Ming along, with his special ability to find the way with his eyes closed, they may still have a chance to leave.

Yaluo calmed down, his eyes gradually became sharper, and his right hand silently pulled out a black dagger from his calf. With a humming sound, the blade vibrated rapidly.

boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly, there were several muffled noises. Yaluo was stunned and saw those Sera people staggering and falling down.

"Who!" The shout spread far away until it disappeared in the storm.

"Ha, I didn't expect these Sera people to be so capable." With a familiar tone, several looters jumped down from above and skillfully took away portable items such as guns from the corpses.

"The boss is really awesome. He discovered the Sera people's secret mobilization of troops and got a great bargain." Several guys grinned and looked in the direction of the spaceship, obviously having discovered it.

Yaluo cursed inwardly at the idiot.

As expected, several icicles shot out from the storm and accurately pierced the heads of several people. The arrogant smile froze on his face and he fell down.

Before anyone arrived, the cold air spread and the figure of Duke Bai Ye was looming in the black sand.

At this moment, his pupils turned white, white particles floated between his mouth and nose, ice spread under his feet, and fully armed Sera soldiers followed behind him.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the spaceship is really here." Neil pointed excitedly at the spaceship not far away.

Duke Bai Ye did not show much excitement on his face. He looked down at the bodies of the looters, and a shrill laugh came from the other side.

"Haha, thank you, Your Excellency the Duke, for leading the way." Yalu was shocked and crawled in the cave, not daring to move.

Atom came from the other side with a large number of looters, his eyes gloomy.

The spaceship was located in the middle of the two groups. The two groups immediately became hostile, with their guns pointed at each other.

Duke Bai Ye's expression was cold, "I underestimated you."

"Haha..." Atom said modestly, "We plunderers don't have as many sophisticated instruments as you do."

"So I only believe in one principle: leave professional matters to professionals. We only know how to fight and kill, so we just need to keep a close eye on you. No matter what happens, we will definitely go no wrong as long as we follow you."

Duke Bai Ye snorted coldly, but then he heard Atom say, "Your Excellency the Duke of Sera, according to the rules of the plunderers, if you come across something good, you should keep it all if you have the ability, and if you don't, you should share it in half."

"How about half each?" Atom suggested.

Although they are numerous, their professionalism is not as good as Sera's men, so fighting is not an option.

"Bullshit!" Neil shouted in a deep voice, "This batch of goods originally belonged to our Sera civilization."

"Where did this kid come from?" Atom's eyes fell on Neil, and his snake-like pupils immediately made Neil feel cold all over.

Duke Bai Ye did not comment, but asked: "Why did the man named Ya Luo under your command suddenly betray you?"

Yaluo's heart skipped a beat.

Atom smiled wryly, "Your Excellency the Duke, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Duke Bai Ye said calmly: "I'm just curious. If that person hadn't betrayed me, this batch of goods would have fallen into your hands long ago."

He was not very interested in finding this batch of goods, it was just an excuse. He was more curious about things related to Li Ming.

"Hmph..." Atom snorted coldly, his expression gloomy, "Who knows what's wrong with that idiot."

"Don't know?" Bai Ye sneered, "You are at least a B-level life form. Your subordinates have caused such a big mess, and you don't even know the reason?"

"Tell me the real reason, and we'll each take half of this batch of goods."

Atom frowned, as if hesitating, and then sneered: "It's not a big deal. Yaluo is from the Interstellar Alliance's Interstellar Predator Rapid Response Department."

"Hmm?" Bai Ye's eyes were full of surprise. "Anti-plundering department?"

"That's right." Atom also felt a little embarrassed and said angrily, "Who knew you hid the goods in the travel spaceship? After we robbed the goods, we were ready to massacre him, but he was too chaste and betrayed us."
