This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 261: Confrontation and Digestion of the Spoils

At this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from under the ground in the distance. The slightly depressing atmosphere was immediately broken and everyone looked over.

"Fuck..." Sandro crawled out from the ground panting, his skin was almost charred and his breath was weak.

However, after all, he was not in the center of the impact point, and only suffered some energy aftermath, so his condition was much better than Brot's.
"What the hell is going on..." He cursed, looked around, and was immediately shocked: "Such a big commotion, who is so powerful?"

Feeling something strange behind him, he turned around and his expression froze slightly.

In the distance, Qinglong, Theo, Ulrich and others were looking at him dimly.

"Everyone is here." Sandro didn't understand the situation yet and forced a smile.

The carbonized facial skin crackled as the outer layer fell off, revealing the scarlet muscle fibers underneath.

The stinging pain made him grimace, which then caused him even more pain, which was really funny.

In another direction, Huber, who was in a similar condition, also squeezed out from the ground, with a look of having seen a ghost on his face, and the carbon shell on his body was peeling off.

"Hub, I'm glad you're okay." Benny looked concerned, breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a tube of green medicine from his pocket.

After thinking for a while, he took out an empty test tube from another pocket of his coat, took out half of the medicine, looked at Sandro, and said loudly:
"Sir Sandro, this is a medicine that promotes cell recovery. Do you want it?"

"Give me some." Sandro staggered over, his carbonized shell falling off all the way. When he came in front of Benny, he had turned into a bloody man.

I took the potion and drank it all in one gulp. The effect seemed very strong and it didn't take long before the designated skin began to grow on the surface of the muscle fibers.

Benny was cleaning up Huber's shed carbon shells and blood, even picking up what fell on the ground.

"What? Boss Qinglong killed Brot with one shot?" Sandro found out the truth. After a moment of shock, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Haha, luckily I hugged my thighs quickly!

No wonder Ulrich looked like someone in his family had died.

Ulrich was even more upset when he saw Sandro's uncontrollable excitement.

Everyone seemed to deliberately ignore Deyes, and Qinglong did the same. Ulrich even thought that Qinglong would take this opportunity to kill Deyes to prevent future trouble.

But I didn't expect the other party to ignore it, which made me confused.

After a brief excitement, Sandro's eyes swept over Deyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, and he was about to speak.

Theo suddenly looked up in the direction of the Torch Organization's host computer, and a fierce energy wave was approaching rapidly.

Scarlet energy surged in like a tide, carrying with it an overwhelming pressure. Ripples exploded as it fell, and then quickly gathered together. A dull voice came out: "Who did it!"

A figure walked out from the scarlet energy. It was Fernando, his face was ashen.

Unexpectedly, just two days after Connet left, there was such a big commotion here.

He sensed the battle fluctuations here and wanted to come over to stop it, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be an eruption of terrifying energy beyond imagination.

According to the energy level detection of the base, the destructive energy level in the center, at its peak, even exceeded 100A.

If they are not released, they will be locked inside by Balzac's energy, constantly brewing, and there is a high possibility that it will tear everything apart.

Under pressure, he had no time to verify how many master mechanics were in the laboratory and how many were in the rest area.

He only knew that those great mechanics were involved in the manufacture of sublimators and that nothing could go wrong.

Helplessly, he could only unlock the blockade of the Eternal Realm and allow the energy to be released.

Just protect the main base and avoid it being destroyed by energy.

When he caught a glimpse of the body on the ground, he paused and looked serious.

Li Ming had already finished dividing the spoils. The body parts were piled together. He spoke apologetically, "It's me. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, sir."

"Qinglong." Fernande's expression became more and more ugly, as if there was something else hidden, but he just asked: "Who died?"

"Brot," Sandro yelled, "that guy just wanted to cause trouble, he deserved it."

Ulrich's face flickered. He witnessed the whole thing, and there was something strange about it.

Brot was fully armed and was obviously looking for trouble, but Qinglong's mechanical guards also reacted quite violently.

He had no intention of speaking. He couldn't say that the current situation was caused by a collision between Brot and Qinglong's mechanical guards.

He didn't want to jump out and be the first to do so. The Torch Organization was able to see the truth from the surveillance video later.

Fernand's expression changed slightly, his eyes searched, and finally locked on Deyes, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't die.

"Deyes, come here," he said bluntly.

Deyes' cheeks twitched, he lowered his head and walked towards Fernand step by step.

The atmosphere in the field was silent. Sandro was eager to try. If Qinglong gave him a look, he would dare to attack directly.

Fernand flashed to Deyes' side, fearing that Qinglong would suddenly attack.

But to everyone's surprise, Qinglong didn't react at all.

"I'm not Cornette. For the next period of time, please...behave yourself." Fernand scolded coldly, looking around at everyone, his eyes fell on Qinglong, and then swept over Theo, Ulrich and others, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

His attitude was quite bad, and everyone present looked unhappy.

The two sides were vaguely in opposition, and even though Fernande was alone, he was full of confidence.

Everyone here had different thoughts, but no one took the lead.

At the edge, purple energy emerged again and finally closed.

Fernand snorted coldly and did not pursue the cause and process of the incident. It was meaningless and he decisively took Deyes away.

"This old guy is too arrogant." Sandro said indignantly, "Besides, I always feel that he is deliberately staring at us, but ignoring Benny and Huber."

"What about Cornette? He's easier to get along with."

Li Ming didn't care, he knew why Fernande was hostile to them.

Half of the eight fireworks users sent by the Torch Organization to Ulrich's lair were brought up by him. It was already very good that he could refrain from taking action against them.

"Who knows, maybe something happened." Li Ming shook his head.

Everyone's eyes changed and their thoughts varied.

Although Fernande was furious, he did not let them lie on the ground and sleep. He had already started sending people to clean up the crater and rebuild the rest area.

……

Cornette would absolutely not bring any of these great mechanics or A-class life forms to the main base.

But Fernand didn't care and left Deyes on the sofa in his office.

The summary of his men's information had been submitted, and he projected the surveillance video.

The scene in the picture shows the fully armed Brot colliding with Qinglong's mechanical body in the corridor.

It only stopped here, and the rest was blurred due to electromagnetic interference. He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why is Brot wandering around in the corridor for so long in full armor, seemingly deliberately looking for the mechanical bodies of Qinglong's men?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know." Deyes' voice was hoarse and his face was gloomy. "I was in the core laboratory at that time."

Fernand took a deep breath, frowned, stared at Deyes, and said in a rough voice: "Whatever you wanted to do, it's over now!"

"When the leader left, he asked me to keep an eye on each of you. Now that Brot is dead, you don't have to go back to the rest area. I'll arrange a place for you."

Deyes' eyes flashed, and then he nodded: "Okay."

"Just work for us with peace of mind, we will ensure your safety." Fernande added. He was too lazy to care about the conflicts and filth among these people.

Now that Brot is dead, Deyes no longer has the capital to talk to them, so he can just be used as a tool.

After all, he is a great mechanic and is very valuable.

"Okay." Deyes' voice was emotionless.

Immediately, Fernande had Deyes taken away and placed in a room close to the core laboratory.

He paced back and forth, and looked through the window at the towering crater. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and then annoyed: "How restless."

.........

The guard took him into the room, which was an ordinary lounge for experimenters. It was very cramped and lacked a lot of basic facilities.

After closing the door, Deyes sat on the cold and hard bed with a grim face, gritting his teeth, his clenched fists trembling, and bloodshot eyes. It was not until a long time later that he slowly exhaled.

"Brott...don't worry..."

Then, he moved quickly, directly opened the twisted stance, took out the smart terminal, and operated it quickly.

Having had many experiences, he was already familiar with the process. Soon, Asmara's voice sounded: "Mr. Deyes..."

Deyes didn't have any intention of saying anything more this time. He said in a hoarse voice, "Cornit has left the Torch Organization base. They are going to sacrifice a dimensional life form that can weave reality."

"I don't know the exact location, but you have found them before, go check, go check, stop him!"

By the end, Deyes was gritting his teeth.

"Ok?"

In the secret intelligence room, Asmara looked surprised, and his intelligence personnel had begun to act quickly.

"How did you hear this news? Are you sure?" she asked.

"I'm sure, of course I'm sure!" Deyes shouted at the top of his lungs, "In order to confirm this news, Brot was killed by Qinglong!"

"What?" Asmara hesitated and asked hurriedly, "What happened again?"

"Qinglong's ability to fire simultaneously increased its number of nano-energy cannons from two to eight, directly killing Brot." Deyes said in a low voice.

"Two gates become eight gates?" Asmara was shocked and his heart was filled with confusion.

"So how are you doing now?" Asmara's mind moved slightly, and she began to comfort Deyes based on the advice provided by the intelligence department.

"It's okay. Qinglong didn't kill me, and the Torch Organization saved me. Now they should use me as a tool." Deyes said with a sad smile.

"The Torch Organization won't last for a few days, and neither will the others." Asmara said in a deep voice, giving Deyes confidence: "Don't worry, I will send someone to intercept Connit."

"Also, I want Qinglong to die!" Deyes' voice was cold and hard.

Asmara's eyes twinkled as she assured him, "Don't worry, you will get what you want."

Deyes was having trouble communicating at the moment, so the two didn't talk for long before ending the call.

"The Torch Organization is too restless. What does Qinglong want to do? According to speculation, he should also be planning to take over the core ruins."

"In that case, his current goal should be to work together to manufacture the sublimator. Why is he causing trouble one after another?" Asmara was puzzled. This did not fit the intelligence system's psychological profile of Qinglong.

All actions have a purpose. What did Qinglong want to do by killing Brot?
According to Deyes, he attacked Qinglong just to test whether Connit was still in the base.

And the other party's reaction was too great.

Just venting anger?

Asmara couldn't figure it out, so he ordered, "List all the Torch Organization operations we have disrupted recently, and lock on to the target as soon as possible."

"Whatever they are trying to do, they must not be allowed to succeed."

……

At the same time, in the temporary rest cabin near the main base, Li Ming was thinking, "Deyes has been taken away. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him in the rest area in the future."

"He should be contacting Asmara now."

As he thought about it, he absorbed the broken ape bone mecha.

In the corner, Thunder and Tepper were lying together, their surface armor was almost shattered and was being slowly repaired.

The metal shell was wriggling like living skin and gradually healing. It wouldn't be long before it was back to normal.

This broken mecha absorbed a total of 4.5 million metal energies.

It was more metal energy than what was needed to control it. This was because although it was broken, the metal parts and even the condensed materials on its body were all nearby. Li Ming had collected most of them, so he naturally absorbed more.

After adding another 500,000 metal energies, he was able to control the [Violent Tiger Fist] and spent more than 1 million metal energies to completely repair it.

This pair of metal fists is quite ferocious, with each finger wrapped in a hard finger glove. The thermonuclear reaction engine inside can burst out quite terrifying energy at any time.

Li Ming briefly understood the buckle structure, which mainly consisted of metal buckle rings at the wrist, elbow and shoulder for clamping.

Then he materialized the tank guard and began to use metal energy to fine-tune his metal arms.

He basically no longer uses it in a driving form, so it doesn't matter if he makes some adjustments that go against ergonomics.

The overall size of the Tanwei metal arms was reduced, and corresponding buckle grooves were carved at the wrists, elbows, and shoulders.

Because the arms looked a little strange because of their shrinkage, but when the Tiger Fist buckle was installed, the metal arm armor attached to the surface, like scales, rose and fell, opening and closing constantly.

The overall look is quite natural, and it makes the Tank Defender look more ferocious.

Trying to possess is like putting on boxing gloves.

With a slight thought, the sharp blade at the elbow popped out. It was eighty centimeters long and had high-speed ion resonance and a high-temperature module, giving it considerable lethality.

This small adjustment consumed less than 100,000 metal energies, but dramatically increased the tank's lethality, making it a great value for money.

While trying out the new weapon, Li Ming pondered to himself, "Although Asmara is a few days behind, they are an official force and can use the star gates of other civilizations to jump. Their speed should not be slow, and stopping Cornett should not be a problem."

"And now, I have to focus on the dimensional crystal. Cornett is not here, and that Fernand doesn't look like a cautious person."

"Whether he is cautious or not, he should follow my plan."
