This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 239 How could the three main guns of the dimensional crystal treasury be targeted by Dark Night?

Four million? It was indeed a regular main battleship. Li Ming had already used the [Shadow Sting] ability again to retreat back into the shadow of the mustache.

Although he was envious, he couldn't take it for the time being.

Taking this one would obviously put the Torch Organization on high alert, which would be detrimental to subsequent actions.

After coming out, the mustache guy seemed very dissatisfied and found the staff in charge of transportation, "Why is there only one? Didn't we buy three in the first place?"

"They said the situation is very tense recently, and it will take some time to find the remaining two."

"There are actually two more?" Li Ming's heart was even more excited. Fortunately, he didn't take it, otherwise it would be more troublesome to take two later.

"How long will it take?" asked the man with a mustache.

"About a month." The other party responded.

"No, hurry up and urge them. If it doesn't work, return the goods." The man with a mustache said coldly.
Then he went to check the other goods and found that not only the main ship's gun barrel, but also many other things were missing parts, which made him even more dissatisfied.

About two hours later, his smart terminal lit up. He looked down and the anxious look on his face immediately disappeared. He went to the small meeting room with other staff members.

"Minister Peel..." Someone was already waiting in the conference room. After the man with a mustache came in, he greeted the other person respectfully.

The other party was not a human. He was two meters tall, had four eyes, and a long and thin head. After everyone arrived, he said:

"This batch of goods has been almost counted. Next, you need to keep a close eye on it and install all the parts in place, so that these empty shells can be turned into real warships that can influence the battlefield."

"Yes!" Everyone in the conference room nodded firmly.

Next, the minister emphasized many things to note, and when he got excited, he couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in the conference room.

They talked for half an hour and there was still no sign of stopping. The key point was that the other members all looked very interested.

Until his smart terminal rang, Pierre looked down, his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go, there is still some goods on the way, I will rush as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pierre pushed the door open and left in a hurry. Li Ming was already in the other's shadow, mumbling to himself, "Seems to be heading towards the core area?"

……

At the same time, in the hall of the security area, Brot looked at Sandro with suspicion, then looked down at the various metal materials in the box.

I only heard Sandro continue to say, "If you buy these metal materials on the Black Shield network, it will cost at least 500 million star coins. Even if you collect them yourself, not counting the time and energy, it will cost more than 300 million star coins."

"I have collected 300 million star coins for you. What do you think?"

"Three hundred million?" Brot frowned. "Do you think I don't know what's going on? These things are worth at most three hundred million star coins."

"Good eyesight." Sandro praised, "You are worthy of being the senior brother of the great mechanic Deyes. How about this, 250 million."

"So generous?" Brot looked Sandro up and down, "We can't do business here."

"What's the big deal? Let's just go find Connit and ask him to witness it. We can then open a small window temporarily for us to complete the transaction. There won't be any problems." Sandro didn't care.

"Hmm... two hundred million." Brot pondered for a moment, and suddenly cut another fifty million.

"You tm..." Sandro gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "Then the next step is two hundred million."

"You can accept two hundred million? There won't be any problem with this metal material, right?" Brot was not excited, but became more suspicious.

Sandro was immediately dissatisfied and shouted, "What are you talking about? This is what Blerim collected. He was going to make A-level weapons. The master mechanic Qinglong has certified it. There is absolutely no problem. If his price was not too low, I would sell it to him."

Then, he whispered, "The main thing is that I don't have much use for this thing. You have such a good relationship with Deyes, why don't you ask him to make a weapon for you? Ulrich still has a part, 220 million, how about selling it all to you."

The reason seemed reasonable, and Deyes picked up a heavy piece of blue alloy. It sounded pretty good.

Collecting this kind of material is indeed time-consuming and laborious, otherwise you can only buy it on the Black Hole Network at an extremely high price.

It was not bad to be able to pick up this bargain. Brot's expression eased. "The herder, Blerim, was also very famous. I didn't expect that he would die in the hands of you guys."

Sandro laughed. "It's nothing. It didn't take much effort."

"Wait here for a moment, buddy. I'll go find Ulrich and get his copy. Then we'll go find Cornett and get him online."

Sandro couldn't wait. These things were really making him anxious. It would be one less thing to worry about if he could deal with them as soon as possible.

……

On the other side, Li Ming has verified his guess.

Pierre walked through several corridors, boarded the elevator, and arrived at the core area of ​​the base.

After walking out of the elevator door, there was an inky metal door at the end of the corridor. Pierre stopped, straightened his clothes, and then walked forward.

After the door opened, it was Cornette who stood in the center of the room.

"Chief, are you looking for me?" Pierre's attitude was very respectful.

Cornette looked back, and for a moment he had a strange feeling, a vague sense of being spied on, but he didn't know where it came from, but it disappeared the next moment.

Still unable to hide directly in the shadow of the A-level life form, Li Ming made a brief attempt and then retreated.

Cornette carefully sensed it and it seemed to be an illusion. He glanced at Pierre who had lowered his head, frowned slightly, and said gently, "Sit down."

Pierre sat down a little stiffly. Cornett looked him up and down, shook his head secretly, and asked directly: "Pierre, let me ask you, do you have a way to bypass the blockade of the base and communicate with the outside world?"

Hearing this, the originally reserved Pierre's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up hurriedly, "Chief, I am loyal to the organization and have absolutely no second thoughts."

"I'm not doubting you." Cornett was a little helpless and emphasized: "I'm just asking, do you have this ability?"

After making sure that Cornette did not doubt him, Pierre slowly sat down, took a long breath, and thought: "Chief, the blockade of our base is not a filtering blockade, but a complete isolation. There is no way to communicate with the outside world at all."

"It is logically impossible to get past this blockade."

"Even the Master Mechanic can't do that?" Cornett asked.

As expected, Cornett also suspected Deyes, but he didn't seem to be sure, so he was looking for evidence.

Well... I don't show that I can definitely create the Tanlomon Bio-Sublimator, so Deyes still has value and we can't just break up with him.

Pierre shook his head. "It's not a technical problem. It's physically impossible. Our base is like an isolated island. There are no ships that can communicate with the outside world. It's impossible to escape."

"Is it impossible?" Cornette roughly understood and frowned slightly.

"But..." Pierre seemed to have thought of something again. Noticing Connet's gaze, he hurriedly said, "Our base is not a completely isolated island. We only have a few limited lines for external communication."

He explained: "If data is attached through these lines, there is indeed a very small possibility of external contact." It is quite complicated to explain, and Cornett listened to Pierre's explanation for a long time before he finally understood it.

"That is to say, there is still the possibility of external contact." Connit frowned with a little dissatisfaction. After talking so much back and forth, wouldn't it be enough to just state the final conclusion directly?

Pierre explained in a low voice: "This kind of external communication is extremely difficult, and requires..."

"Okay, I understand." Cornette waved his hand expressionlessly, stopping Pierre from giving a lengthy explanation of professional terms.

"I just need you to tell me if this kind of outbound communication can be detected."

"It's difficult..." Pierre shook his head helplessly, "Your communication lines are completely isolated from the outside world. The same is true for the Information Department. They hardly have any contact with the internal network."

"If you want to pass through these lines, you must penetrate the intranet..."

He stopped talking halfway because Cornette raised his hand again.

"I understand." Cornette said expressionlessly, motioning for Pierre to leave. Pierre stood up awkwardly.

After going out, he wiped the sweat off his forehead in a hurry and stood in front of the elevator, feeling a little nervous.

The elevator door opened and he was about to walk in, but when a shadow came towards him, Pierre looked up and was shocked: "Master Ted."

The life form named Ted was of burly build, wearing heavy combat armor. His cheeks were indigo and his edges and corners were sharp, as if they were cut by a knife or an axe. He just nodded indifferently when he heard what was said.

Pierre moved aside and waited for the other party to leave before entering the elevator.

Compared to Pierre, Ted's attitude towards Cornett seemed much calmer. He just nodded slightly and said, "Chief..."

"Ted," Connit nodded, "Go to the warehouse, get a dimensional crystal and related materials, sacrifice Balzacs, and temporarily defend the main base."

"Warehouse? Dimensional crystal?"

Li Ming, who had been hiding in Ted's shadow, felt a wave of anxiety in his heart.

"Balzac?" Ted seemed a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is someone going to attack the base?"

"No." Cornett shook his head: "Something unexpected happened. A man named Dark Night got my contact information from somewhere and asked directly about the location of the base. He was going to come and look for Azure Dragon."

"Ok?"

Li Ming had been guessing about the situation in the warehouse, but was stunned when he suddenly heard the information about himself.

Dark Night? Who is he? I don't think I've heard of him. Why are you looking for me?
"Looking for Qinglong?" Ted was surprised. "Is he his enemy or friend?"

"It's hard to say." Cornett rubbed his brows, seeming to be in a very difficult situation. "According to the information I know, this Dark Night is the one who assassinated Grand Duke Guya."

"What?" Ted was stunned.

Li Ming was also shocked. The super assassin who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya?
Why was he looking for me? Could it be that someone hired him to assassinate me?

Li Ming subconsciously speculated, and suddenly a sense of crisis arose. Grand Duke Gu Ya was beaten to a point where his life or death was unknown, let alone himself.

Why did this fierce guy suddenly target me?
"It's him." Cornett was helpless. "I asked him indirectly, but he only said one thing: give me the coordinates. Don't worry, he has no other intentions."

It seemed that An Ye didn't take him seriously at all. It was too simple. Their main base had been hidden for so long, how could they tell others about it casually?

Even if the other party was the strong man who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya, he would not easily trust the other party, but he had a hunch that the other party might have other ways to find him, so he had to be on guard.

"What is the origin of this Qinglong that he has provoked such a person?" Ted was also secretly shocked.

"I don't know. Deyes said before that he might cause too much trouble. I thought he was exaggerating. But we just got here and attracted such a powerful life form." Connet sighed.

"I just hope he can create a sublimator as soon as possible."

"I understand." Ted looked serious and turned away without saying anything more.

"Dark Night..." Li Ming's heart was heavy. No one would be in a good mood if they were inexplicably targeted by such a super assassin.

But he thought about it and decided that apart from the Itlan civilization, he hadn't offended any big shots.
This An Ye was definitely not hired by Itlan or the Xingyuan Empire. After all, he had just assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya.

Who is that?

This time, he really didn't even doubt his target.

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

After getting off the elevator, Ted moved quickly and went deeper into the base. After going through layers of verification, he stopped in front of a metal door wrapped in a purple energy film.

"Sir Ted." The soldier in charge of the guard nodded and verified it again.

After making sure everything was OK, the door covered with thick purple energy film slowly opened, and Ted was ready to step in as usual.

But this time, for some reason, he encountered an unprecedented resistance. The purple energy membrane began to ripple, like waves gathering, and then bounced back with huge force, directly throwing him out.

boom!
He bumped into the metal wall and fell to the ground. The pain in his body was nothing compared to the confusion in his heart.

"How could this happen?" Ted looked puzzled.

The soldier in charge of the guard looked unfriendly and said, "Sir Ted, the leader has issued a strict order that only one person can go in at a time."

"I'm just one person." Ted frowned, looked around, and walked forward again.

The soldier wanted to stop him, but when he saw Ted's unfriendly expression, he stopped.

But this time the purple energy film did not react at all, and Ted stepped directly into it.

After stopping at the energy membrane, he looked back in confusion.

Not knowing what had just happened, he shook his head and went deeper.

The guarding soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to explain.

In the shadow of one of the soldiers, Li Ming was secretly surprised.

This purple energy film could actually sense his presence. It looked like the power of some creature from some dimension.

"You must be more careful in the future. The power of dimensional creatures is strange and unpredictable. It cannot be compared with the ordinary detection equipment of the Torch Organization."

Li Ming reminded himself and looked at the purple energy film again. He felt a little hot in his heart and didn't know how many dimensional crystals were contained in it.
