This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 56: Who is Shadow, the crippled man whose hair stood on end in the aftermath?

"I'm still okay. I'll go... go finish up... the left team..." Li Ming forced a pale smile, his messy hair covering his forehead.

Zuo Ling had a complicated expression. Looking at Li Ming, who asked her to clean up the mess even though he was seriously injured, she couldn't help but sigh, what a good talent.

"There should be no danger here. Our colleagues are all nearby. Be careful." Zuo Ling gave some instructions and left. The current situation was chaotic and indeed required a backbone force to clean up the mess.

After Zuo Ling left, Li Ming's eyes changed and he looked towards the building opposite. There were still traces of the electromagnetic armor-piercing bullet he had fired.

If it is not processed, it is easy to determine through ballistic analysis that it was shot from below.

So, he also had to finish it off, but no one knew there was a sniper on the other side, so it wasn't a big problem.

Of course, there is one more thing, which is to submit the bounty task about Feng Yue on the Black Hole Network.

.........

"Minister, the number of injured people is 364, the number of deaths is 32, and 26 bounty hunters have been killed. In addition... the City Guard Building has been tested and there is no nuclear bomb."

"They just affected the detection system."

Half a day later, the chief of security was reporting on the situation, and members of the special operations team were distributed around.

Qin Xiao's face was very cold. Feng Yue's headless body was covered with a white cloth. Du Cheng stood up, holding a silver round cake, only the size of a thumb. "Minglong alloy, accelerated shell removal, special bullet, called Falling Star."

"Only a better mechanical kinetic energy sniper rifle can shoot this kind of bullet. He is a veteran bounty hunter with a lot of experience. He grasped the timing very well. If Lao Feng hadn't been injured and his energy barrier was still there, he might have survived."

Lin Yaoxian, who was standing next to him, was still in shock as Feng Yue died in front of him. If the enemy fired a second shot, or if the target was not Feng Yue but him, would he be able to escape this disaster?
"It's just..." Chief Wang hesitated: "The other party made such a big fuss just to kill Feng Yue?"

"Several rockets, EMP electromagnetic interference, plus other investments, and the bullets that killed Feng Yue in the end, the total cost is not low. How much can each person in this team get?"

"This won't work for a D-class life form."

After he reminded him, Qin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the building!"

.........

"This is it..." A Sanya lizardman wearing a hooded robe was lying on the sand dune, sticking out his tongue from time to time, and said to the lame man next to him: "Friend...the person you are looking for is in the oasis ahead."

The cripple nodded, took out his smart terminal, and prepared to open the black hole network to pay the bill, but a message that suddenly popped up made him stunned, and then his eyes suddenly widened -
"How much!?"

"One hundred thousand star coins!?"

The lame man was stunned, looking at the information about the share arriving into his account. This share came from Li Ming, who completed a million-level bounty.

But for the cripple, it was no less than a bolt of lightning hitting his head. He had only been away from that damn Silver-Gray Star for a few days, and Li Ming had become so amazing?

Silver-Gray Star, what exactly happened?
At this moment, his curiosity reached its peak. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "No, I have to go back and take a look. Maybe..."

He didn't know what he was thinking of, his eyes became more determined, he turned off the profit-sharing reward, paid the money, and put away the smart terminal.

He didn't care about what was happening in front of him and turned around and walked away, leaving the confused lizard man behind with his tongue sticking out.

……

"Shadow?"

In the office, various scenes were projected on the virtual screen, and the city guards were busy with nervous expressions.

Lin Yaoxian looked at the latest information submitted by the intelligence department.

"Feng Yue's bounty was submitted by a bounty hunter named Shadow."

"According to the intelligence department's profile, he is a very cautious person. The first time he took action, he only killed an ordinary life form that was not yet at the highest level. He probably wanted to see our reaction and understand the surface and hidden rules of Silver Ash City."

Du Cheng stood up and said, there were pictures on the virtual screen behind him.

"Zhou Ze -...Red Rose...and then Feng Yue." "This kind of person cannot be found by bounty hunters. He may have even left Silver Gray Star now. According to reports from the scene, the man named Li Ming almost succeeded in stopping him, right?" Lin Yao first shook his head and then said.

Du Cheng casually said, "My colleagues are just exaggerating in the report. If the other party wasn't afraid of being entangled, he would have been dealt with in no time."

.........

It was not until dusk that the City Guard issued a notice--
"This morning... several bounty hunters raided the City Guard Building... and the head of the Internal Affairs Section, Feng Yue, died heroically!"

"In addition, the Sixth Patrol Fleet will arrive at Silver Grey Star soon to maintain law and order. Citizens, please rest assured."

For a moment, the anxious citizens of Silver Ash City were in a state of panic. They didn't know what had happened, they only knew that there were constant roars in the morning and they hid in their homes, trembling.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yue was killed in this battle. The local star network started discussing -
"These bounty hunters are too arrogant. Doesn't Blue Star do anything about it?"

"Fortunately, there was martial law during this period, so I didn't go out and run around."

"It's good that the Sixth Patrol Fleet has arrived. Those bounty hunters can no longer run wild."

Restlessness and anxiety enveloped the Silver-Gray City, but were forcibly suppressed.

……

"From this moment on, the members of the special operations team will have open operational permissions. Everyone will be responsible for their own operations and will enjoy logistical intelligence support from the City Guard Department!"

At the internal meeting, Qin Xiao's face was as gloomy as water. He was obviously extremely angry. He no longer used traditional killing methods and did not even care about the possibility that someone might kill innocent people to take credit.

To put it nicely, it means taking emergency measures; to put it bluntly, it means asking them to do whatever it takes.

"The first one to find that group of bounty hunters will be equivalent to killing twenty bounty hunters!" Qin Xiao was really ruthless and offered such a price.

Many people were breathing rapidly. It was just a matter of finding them, and there was no need to stop or kill them, so the difficulty was much lower.

But Li Ming felt strange when he heard this. Is the relationship between Minister Qin and Feng Yue so good?
After a while, Yang Peng stopped Li Ming and confirmed that his injuries were not serious before saying, "I heard from Zuo Ling that you killed a sniper, and Lao Yao also said that you saved their lives."

"It was just a fluke."

Yang Peng was silent for a moment, then patted Li Ming on the shoulder and said solemnly, "You are very good, but don't go astray, otherwise, I will not be polite."

For some reason, he felt that many things recently were weird, and there seemed to be an unfathomable veil lingering around Li Ming.

Perhaps it was because of his suspicion of Li Changhai, or perhaps other factors caused him to feel this way.

Li Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "You know everything?"

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then he perked up in an instant and said in a mysterious way, "I just found out about it not long ago."

"Don't blame Yang Yu, blame me." Li Ming said sincerely.

Yang Peng was stunned, then his eyes widened, his face darkened, and he was furious: "Why blame you? What happened between you and Yu'er!?"

"Isn't it this matter?" Li Ming looked confused.

"I knew you had bad intentions!" Yang Peng gritted his teeth and almost rushed forward.

The people around him hurried forward to pull it apart.

After a moment, Yang Peng was still suspicious and pulled his tie, "Are you two really okay?"

"I have promised you. If you don't believe me, go back and ask Yang Yu." Li Ming stressed again and again, and then asked, "Uncle Yang, is our minister so close to Feng Yue that you are so determined to avenge him?"

"How is that possible?" Yang Peng shook his head, looked around, and whispered, "But I heard that something important seemed to have been lost in our department."

"Oh..." Li Ming understood. It turned out that the group of bounty hunters were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
