This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 52: Consumable Control Objects

"Okay, okay..." Old Yao stood up lazily.

The remaining few people also left, and only Li Ming stayed and asked in a low voice: "Big guys, do you want to go fishing?"

Yang Peng's face changed slightly. Why is this kid so cunning?

He hesitated for a moment, looked around, and lowered his voice: "I also guessed that there was such a plan. The higher-ups should want to launch a large-scale operation. After all, a special operations team has been established. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there were no results?"

"Won't it flip over?"

"It shouldn't be..." Yang Peng shook his head, "Those people above are very careful about their lives. Since they dare to jump out as bait, there is a high probability that they are sure of it."

High probability... Li Ming pondered.

Then, Yang Peng asked hesitantly, "Two days ago, I heard that you took action in the training room?"

"Well, I had no choice." Li Ming explained.

Yang Peng's eyes suddenly became strange. It cannot be said that there are no secrets within the City Guard, but this kind of information cannot be considered confidential.

Within two days, the news became a hot topic.

But according to the staff on duty that day, it seemed that it was Li Ming who took the initiative.

The source video was blocked by the minister, and the other three were inexplicably transferred to the Urban Management Department. It was said that their genetic seeds were removed, but Li Ming was fine. The meaning contained in this is extraordinary.

Ever since his father died, he really couldn't see through Li Ming.

"However, Section Chief Feng seems to be in a bad mood recently. You'd better stay away from him." Yang Peng reminded.

Li Ming said seriously: "I understand that when an old person sends a young person away, he will be sick with longing, so we should be considerate."

……

This is a large-scale operation. The funeral is held in a public cemetery in Yinhui East City District, and the area must be cleared in advance to avoid harming innocent people as much as possible and to reduce security pressure.

Since Feng Xiao was the son of Section Chief Feng and sacrificed his life for the public, he was posthumously awarded the Third Class Silver-Gray Medal and a huge publicity campaign was launched.

A lot of news has been pushed simultaneously on StarNet’s local network. Some people are expressing their admiration and respect, while others are cursing.

Those who went to scout the location and formulate security plans were regular field personnel and members of the special operations team, so there was no need to go there so early.

By twelve o'clock in the evening, the development progress had reached 94%, which was in line with Li Ming's expectations.

Early the next morning, Li Ming went to Giant Shield Company again, and his "Fallen Star" arrived.

In the delivery room of Giant Shield Company, open the metal suitcase on the table.

A slender purple bullet was embedded in the black velvet cloth. The edge reflected the light, and the outer shell was carved with patterns that outlined a falling meteor.

Quite heavy, cool and smooth to the touch--
[Falling Stars--Consumable: Powerful bullets made from multiple composite materials.

Control conditions: 1000 metal energy points

Control ability - Meteor: Consume the control object to temporarily upgrade the host to the level of E-level life form, lasting for 60 seconds. 】

Consumable control object?
Li Ming was surprised. He didn't expect there was such a controlled object. It had no control effect, but its power was very great, directly raising it to the E-level.

We will probably see a lot of controlled objects of this type in the future, and Li Ming naturally will not be able to control this bullet.

There was a note on the flannel under the bullet, written in the interstellar universal language -
"Happy hunting"

……

After returning, the special operations team was called together in the afternoon and began to assign tasks and familiarize themselves with the map.

"We are responsible for guarding the periphery, which is the area 1km away..." Yang Peng pointed to a piece of land to the right of the red dot on the virtual map.

"The funeral will be held at 10 a.m., and we will have all the logistical support of the entire Silver Ash City." Yang Peng said seriously. "Oh..." Lao Yao said casually, "Everyone inside is an E-level life form, but we, the F-level life forms, are blocked outside."

"In my opinion, it should be the other way around."

"Stop dreaming." Peng Gang sneered, and everyone smiled knowingly.

"Captain, if we only defend the cemetery, aren't you afraid of being ambushed on the way when several important people come?" Li Ming asked doubtfully.

Everyone couldn't help but look at him. Yang Peng paused. Lao Yao said casually, "Who knows, little brother? The captain has already said to obey orders. Why do you care so much?"

Yang Peng didn't say much because this was their mission.

After the tasks were arranged, everyone went to get their security equipment. Firearms were of course a must, and combat uniforms and bulletproof vests were even more indispensable.

Li Ming didn't have time to exercise today, so they set out in the early morning. When they arrived at the cemetery, it was still dark and dark.

The cemetery naturally gives people a heavy and solemn feeling. Even the most lively person would find it difficult to force a smile here.

There are many trees here, and there is basically a tree next to every tombstone. In addition, the terrain is undulating, so although this place is vast, the vision is not very good.

"Channel access..."

"Command system access..."

"The seventh team of the special operations team is in place." Yang Peng debugged the equipment, and the sound came from everyone's micro-earphones. They quickly took up their respective positions to stand guard.

Li Ming stood under a tree and glanced at the tombstone next to him. It was a little girl with a sweet smile and two dimples. She raised her head slightly. She was not very old, only 10 years old. There were two bouquets of fresh flowers under the tombstone. On the side of the tombstone was written - died of gray sand disease.

Dust and sand disease is a disease that broke out on a large scale ten years ago due to the uncontrolled mining by Star Creation Company, which caused dust and sand to spread in the air.

This resulted in the deaths of many young children and had a huge impact, even spreading to several nearby civilizations. Star Creation Company was forced to install purification equipment for Silver Ash City and offer compensation.

Then, various forces in the outer city emerged like mushrooms after a spring rain, and finally evolved into the current situation. Relevant memories flooded into Li Ming's mind.

The howling of the wind sounded like the wailing of the dead, and he watched silently as the day was about to dawn.

Three hours later--
Whoosh!
A special type of funeral transport vehicle flew in from the center of Silver Gray City, followed by a dozen neatly arranged black hovercrafts.

Old Yao held an optical telescope and said in the channel: "It's quite impressive, worthy of being the son of the section chief..."

However, before he could finish his words, a rocket with a streak of light shot towards the transport vehicle. With a bang, it exploded into a fireball and then fell to the ground.

"Fuck!" he yelled, and the other people's faces changed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, roars were heard from several other directions.

The next moment, a voice came from the channel, "All special team members, listen up, I am Qin Xiao, all previous combat plans are invalidated."

"Next, you just need to follow the command of the headquarters."

What the hell! ?

Plan scrapped?

Many people in the channel were stunned, only Li Ming's eyes suddenly became deep.

The cemetery's security plan is fake, a trick to fool bounty hunters.

In the eyes of those bounty hunters, the cemetery was heavily guarded and their chances of success were slim if they broke in by force, but they could easily ambush them on the way here.

And the city guards’ top brass predicted what they had predicted.

"Team Seven, you need to arrive at No. 22, Nanping Street within five minutes. Please set off immediately!"

The intelligence officer reminded Yang Peng in the channel, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Don't just stand there, follow me!"
