This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 24 Action! Gatekeeping?
"We will have a safety inspection later. If there are any violations, don't blame me for not reminding you." Yang Peng said again, looking around at everyone.

After the confiscation was completed, Yang Peng waved his hand and all the field members went to the top floor in batches. The intelligence team and the logistics team were watched by their respective team leaders.

Half an hour later…

Everyone has boarded the mimic transport plane fully armed and set off from the rooftop of the building.

The number of people involved in this operation was far more than Li Ming had imagined. Three teams were acting simultaneously, and there were nearly a hundred field personnel.

The second team has a heroic female captain, Zuo Ling, and the fifth team has Wang Zhiheng, the son of the section chief.

"Don't be disappointed. Once you go back and train for a month or two, you will have no problem holding a gun." Seeing Li Ming hesitating, Li Ning thought that he was depressed because he was not qualified to hold a gun just now.

"Here... let you touch it." He twisted his waist, revealing the pistol at his waist. Most men have an unusual desire for guns.

He can understand.

Seeing Li Ning's wretched look, Li Ming was speechless, but he still touched him——
[Browne S-2 fully automatic pistol - not rated: a basic model of mass-produced pistol, average.

Control conditions: 4 metal energy points

Control ability: gun control--beginner
Control Effect - Fully Automatic Combo: You can continuously punch with 10% more power and 10% more speed. 】

This effect... a quick punch? Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and a picture appeared in his mind.

"Li Ning!" Yang Peng glared at him, and Li Ning quickly sat down.

Yang Peng finally stated the goal of this operation.

"Everyone..." He pulled out a 3D model, "Outer City - Sand Town. This place should have been abandoned a long time ago, but we recently received a tip-off that the Tiger Gang smuggled a group of people from the interstellar space and are hiding here."

If it really was that incident... Li Ming had guessed it a long time ago.

He was the one who provided this information. Scarface Tiger had set his sights on him, so he simply passed the news around and let the other party get busy.

When the other party is free again, he shouldn't have to be afraid anymore.

"According to intelligence, this is a very important batch of goods belonging to the Tiger Gang. The security force is not low, so three teams are working together."

"Attack from three directions, and the target... is the small building in the center." Yang Peng pointed at the bright blue virtual building, which was not tall, with only six floors.

"The most important thing is your own safety first, and the safety of the hostages second."

Yang Peng gave a brief introduction. Li Ming actually knew more. The reason why this batch of goods was important to the Xionghu Gang was that part of it was to be given to high-ranking officials in the city.

Judging from their age, some are even minors.

Scarface Tiger is only responsible for receiving the goods. The one in charge of guarding now should be named Pang Wenlong.

Li Ming has read his information. He is an F-class life form with a development progress of nearly 60%. Like Scarface Tiger, he is a "rising star" that has emerged in the past two years.

He is a key monitoring target of the City Health Department and is also a cadre of the Fierce Tiger Gang. He is in charge of some underground casinos and is known as the Gold-Swallowing Tiger.

It is worth mentioning that he also has an ex-wife and son, and they live a very comfortable life in Silver Ash City, which makes many city guards secretly grit their teeth.

"Then he should have a lot of money..." Li Ming speculated in his heart.

Yang Peng began to assign tasks, including cover, main attack, support, and on-site logistics... in an orderly manner.

"Lao Qi, your group is responsible for guarding the periphery. If anyone escapes, we will leave it to you." Finally, Yang Peng looked at the group that Li Ming was in.

In the past few days, Li Ming has almost figured out that Yang Peng is definitely an F-class life form, and I heard that he is already applying for an E-class gene seed.

Among the remaining people, there are only four F-level life forms, one of whom is Lao Dao who follows Yang Peng.

They are the only group without an F-class life form leading them, so it is reasonable to let them guard the gate.

The other team members had different expressions. Those who were able to escape basically did not pose much of a threat, so this group was the least dangerous.

Obviously, this is special care for Li Ming.

Li Ming was too young, and in their eyes he was really just a kid. Moreover, he had not received any training, and was not even allowed to hold a gun, so he could only act as an observer. He would be useless on the front battlefield, and might even be a drag, so he could just be a gatekeeper.

"Yes!" Qi Zhengyuan accepted the order solemnly.

"This is your first time on a field trip. Remember, don't think too much and just follow orders." Yang Peng specifically reminded Li Ming.

"clear."

There was no conversation along the way. Everyone was preparing equipment and adjusting channels. No one wanted to lose their life due to negligence.

Soon, after a slight shake, the hatch slowly opened. The air was filled with dust and sand, the sky was dark, and there was a blurry town not far away.

Several small camouflaged drones were released on the scene. The atmosphere on Silver Gray Star is harsh and orbiting satellites are almost useless, so this is the only way to conduct reconnaissance.

Various conversation sounds came from the headphones. Li Ming followed the team silently until they were about 500 meters away, when Yang Peng signaled everyone to stop.

"Ten o'clock direction, two o'clock direction..."

The sniper who had separated from them long ago was responsible for eliminating the outer guards.

At the corner of the wall at the edge of the town, everyone separated. The rest of them moved quietly deeper into the town, while Li Ming and a few others stayed behind.

"Zhang Gong, you go to the intersection... Wang Zhaoguo..." Qi Zhengyuan thought for a moment and said, "Li Ning, you take Li Ming to the house over there..."

Qi Zhengyuan thought that the places assigned to Li Ning and Li Ming were safer, and he was also afraid that something might happen to him.

Others had no objections. After all, Li Ming was just a newborn calf. If he got scared and delayed the mission, it would not be good for anyone.

Ten enemies are not as much trouble as one teammate.

It was a dilapidated little house. The other people were more than a hundred meters away from them and could see each other.

Soon after, the outer snipers also went deeper and advanced gradually.

"It seems that I also benefited from your help this time, and I got the credit for nothing." Li Ning looked serious, and at the same time reminded: "Look to the east with the telescope, if anyone appears, notify me immediately..."

"Don't be nervous. This is the first time for newbies. It's okay this time. We are just guarding the door. Don't be scared later..."

At first Li Ming thought that Li Ning had some precautions to say, but it turned out that he just repeated the same few words over and over again. The finger on the trigger of the submachine gun was trembling slightly, and he was very nervous.

Li Ming didn't listen to what he said anymore. He estimated that Yang Peng and his team had only advanced a few hundred meters.

He turned sideways, picked up the optical telescope and observed.

Whoosh! boom!
There was a muffled sound from the sky, and the mimicry drone exploded with electric sparks, then crashed into the ground like a fireball, with a bang and black smoke rising.

It was discovered!

Li Ning's body suddenly tensed up, and sure enough, the next moment, gunshots were heard from deeper inside, and the channel became even more chaotic.

"East, east..."

"They have shoulder-launched rockets!"

"Careful, careful!"

"..."

"They were discovered so quickly. Their security level is not low!" Li Ning said solemnly, "I hope all my colleagues are safe."

"Can we go to support?" Li Ming suddenly asked. There was no need to think about it. The battlefield must be extremely chaotic now. Although it was dangerous, it was also a good time to fish in troubled waters.

"I know you are unhappy about being assigned to be a gatekeeper and you want to prove yourself." Li Ning shook his head. He was very familiar with Li Ming's mentality. He was like this at the beginning, unwilling to admit defeat and wanting to prove himself.

"However, this place is safe for us. The battlefield is not a good place, so just stay here.
