Chapter 70 Strengthening Array Armor I am Li Ming, and I am now accepting your report
After the explosion-proof shield was upgraded to level D, its defense performance became even stronger, and the roaring torrent of bullets could not even leave a trace.

Li Ming was as steady as a rock. He set up the heavy sniper rifle through the shooting port of the explosion-proof shield. Without loading bullets, he directly absorbed the energy of his cells to form universal bullets.

The power of general-purpose bullets is not very strong, and it takes three shots to clear a machine gun turret.

boom! boom! boom!
Sparks flew and the shooting was steady and regular, but something unexpected happened. Four pitch-black gun barrels protruded from the four corners of the metal ceiling.

Zhao Xiong's face was filled with horror, and Li Ming temporarily retracted the sniper rifle.

boom!
The sound of the large-caliber gun barrel was deep, and the flames from the explosion almost covered the entire corridor.

And Li Ming finally understood what the description meant after the explosion-proof shield was upgraded: "having extremely strong impact resistance."

The metal layer on its surface popped out, and the internal magnetic energy structure creaked under the violent impact, and dispersed the impact through force conduction.

Before the next shot, Li Ming quickly fired and destroyed these gun barrels.

"Come again?" Li Ming hadn't breathed a sigh of relief yet when he realized something was wrong. The center of the walls on both sides cracked, and a row of tiny energy-gathering crystal tubes emerged.

Buzz - azure arcs of electricity gathered together. This was some kind of electromagnetic device.

Buckled carapaces appeared on Li Ming's shoulders, and he activated the [Armored] four arms, adding 50% control over the lightning element, and his fingers were pressed against the wall.

An extremely obvious electric arc burst out and rushed into the energy-focusing crystal tube. In an instant, the electromagnetic field went out of control, crackling and emitting black smoke.

Then he cleaned the machine gun turret on the ceiling.

After waiting for a while, Li Ming came out from the explosion-proof shield. The whole corridor had turned into a pool of blood, with body parts charred and the air filled with the smell of blood and fire.

Zhao Xiong was buried at the bottom among many corpses, but he was still alive, his body covered in blood, both his own and others'.

There were several holes in his cheeks where the bullets were embedded, but there were not many charred spots on his skin, and the body on his body weakened the lethality.

Those who died were all F-level life forms, and their flesh and blood were quite strong.

The pain in his body was tearing at his nerves, but as he looked at Li Ming approaching, the fear in his eyes disappeared, and he said weakly: "This is really a trap. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we would both die here."

He stretched out his hand as if nothing had happened, "Come, give me a hand."

Li Ming didn't move. His lonely eyes fell on him, which made Zhao Xiong feel uneasy.

"Did you want to use me as a meat shield just now?" Li Ming asked.

"No, no..." Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Xiong's forehead, mixed with blood, becoming sticky and slippery.

He quickly explained: "I was just a little flustered. I definitely didn't intend to use you as a human shield."

"Li Ming didn't know whether he believed it or not, he just said, "Forget it."

Zhao Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this kid was young after all and didn't dare to have any extreme thoughts...

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he widened his eyes in horror, and saw Li Ming raised the heavy sniper rifle in his hand, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“䱱…”

Bang! The bullet pierced Zhao Xiong's forehead, and Li Ming fired a few more shots.

After making sure that he was completely dead, Li Ming looked around and pulled out the safe from the pool of blood.

Since this is a trap, there shouldn't be anything they need in the safe.

Li Ming first rusted out a small hole, then looked inside and saw only a small device flashing a red light.

It should be some kind of sensing device used for positioning. After thinking about it, he decided to take it away.

Then he walked to the closed heavy door of Chen Songnan's office, which began to rust.

Although this thing is heavy, it is not made of precious metal.

Soon, he rusted a hole and crawled in.

His eyes fell on the glass booth with a fiery look. He quickly came forward, raised the explosion-proof shield that was folded into a metal pancake, and smashed it down hard.

Click!

The bulletproof glass shattered. Li Ming reached out, took out the silver-ash mother ore, and quickly searched the office, but did not find anything else valuable.

I looked at the time and there were still five minutes left, even though this was a trap.

But there should be no discounts for what Qin Xiao's undercover agent did, otherwise it would be easily discovered.

When he arrived at the escape passage, he did the same thing and rusted a small hole in it. He looked back at the pile of corpses and quickly left.

.........

Just as the safe was leaving Chen Songnan's office, the alloy door crushed one of the people.

Located in an underground mine, surrounded by brightly lit high-energy spotlights, Chen Songnan looked down at the warning sign on the smart terminal with a smile on his face.

"Manager Chen, the pollution coefficient here far exceeds the particle standard set by the Interstellar Alliance." Xu Wei next to him was wearing a helmet and holding some kind of instrument in his hand.

"Reporter Xu, you seem to have forgotten that Blue Star is still a primary civilization, and the regional environmental standards are lower than the requirements of the Interstellar Alliance." Chen Songnan explained with a smile.

……

"Minister, we failed."

In the rest room, Xingchuang Company's security system had already been restarted.

Li Ming said to the smart terminal, "The other party is well prepared. No one can go back except me."

He hinted cryptically.

The smart terminal did not respond for a long time.

Qin Xiao's face looked grim, and he seemed to be about to slam his hands on the table, but he stopped in the end, forcing himself to speak calmly, but his voice was a little hoarse after all: "I know, take care of yourself."

He had many questions, such as what happened and why Li Ming was able to survive, but none of them mattered now.

"Understood." Li Ming turned off the smart terminal.

Qin Xiao was at a disadvantage in this game. All his preparations for such a long time were in vain.

The chess pieces placed around Chen Songnan should have been almost cleared out.

It’s just not clear what will happen next.

Li Ming shook his head. The silver-ash mother ore obtained from Chen Songnan’s office had been completely absorbed.

Silver-ash ore is a material with excellent ductility. It is mostly used in combat uniforms and lining connection materials of light and heavy armor. It is generally more defensive.

Li Ming subconsciously thought of the control object that was suitable for use - array armor, and he used it immediately.

Strands of silver-gray particles gradually permeated the array armor, causing earth-shaking changes from the inside out. The magnetically controlled armor plates seemed to be decomposed and then reshaped.

It is originally pitch black, but now it has a hint of silver, making it more refined and full of texture.

[Array-type nano-magnetic armor - E: Magnetic armor that is impregnated with silver-gray mother ore into nanoparticles.

.........

Control effect: Physical strength boost--100%
Control Ability - Nano Intelligence: Nano particles can appear autonomously in the area about to be attacked, and stack up to 100% defense. 】

The ability has changed, and the metal energy required for upgrading has soared to 8000 points.

He pulled out a dagger from his heel and slashed at his left arm. Where the dagger landed, silver-black particles quickly condensed and formed a string of metal armor plates that adhered to the skin extremely tightly.

With a clang, sparks were produced by friction and continued to extend along the position where the dagger moved. "Not bad, fully automatic, no need for me to control it." Li Ming was very satisfied. It was very effective in dealing with sneak attacks and the safety factor was greatly improved.

In the other hand, there is a small black square the size of a thumb.

This is what was taken out of the safe.

[D-45 high-frequency anti-interference locator-F: obsidian shell, can resist conventional interference.

Control conditions: 30 metal energy points

Control Effect: Tracking Technology - Basic
Control ability - Positioning: Select a target and keep its position locked within a range of 10m. 】

This positioning device is actually of F-class. Its capabilities should have miraculous effects at certain times. Li Ming took control of it immediately.

Put it in the control bar first to adapt to the large amount of information brought by the control effect to avoid discomfort when switching later.

After a moment, he felt almost no discomfort at all, and muttered, "Why do I feel that the relevant tracking experience brought by the assassination technology has covered it."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Songnan returned with the review team.

In the top-floor room, several burly men stood at the four corners, and there were a few people in the middle, kneeling on the ground, crying.

“Manager Chen, Manager Chen…” When they saw Chen Songnan, they wanted to crawl over, but were kicked back by someone nearby.

"Tsk tsk, logistics manager, deputy director of security, the company treats you well, so why do you want to betray it?" Chen Songnan pulled a chair and sat down casually.

"Do you really think Qin Xiao can cause trouble under my nose?" Chen Songnan sneered, looking down with a sense of victory, as if it was Qin Xiao who was kneeling in front of him.

"We are... possessed by evil spirits. Director Chen, there is nothing we can do. Our families are still in Silver Ash City."

"I understand that family and career are a difficult choice." Chen Songnan smiled warmly, "But thanks to you, Qin Xiao should now be able to recognize the gap between him and me."

"The little minister of the planet dares to fight against Xingchuang Company."

As he spoke, he opened his smart terminal to contact someone in front of everyone.

The other party answered the call quickly, but didn't say anything at first.

Chen Songnan said leisurely: "Minister Qin, are you okay?"

"What do you want?" Qin Xiao's voice was cold.

Chen Songnan chuckled: "Xingchuang Company has been cooperating with Blue Star Civilization for more than a year or two. Now that they have a better partner, they want to kick us out. Isn't that too unfair?"

"The demonstrations and the spread of public opinion. In the beginning, you were the one who begged us to sign the contract. Now you are talking about destructive mining?" His face became increasingly gloomy.

"Playing with our Xingchuang company? Don't you even know what you are capable of?"

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice: "This is a game between big shots, I can't change it."

"Of course, we can't interfere with the big shots, but we have to do what we should do." Chen Songnan said calmly: "The interstellar review team shouldn't be here. I'll leave it to you."

"You want to kill them?" Qin Xiao's tone was uncertain.

"Ha..." Chen Songnan laughed: "Minister Qin, don't pretend to be ignorant. Organizing a parade is your specialty."

"The Interstellar Review Team is here to enforce justice. If the local natives want to drive them away, they won't be able to stay and refuse to leave."

"You want me to die." Qin Xiao scolded.

"If I let go of what I have, it will be enough to kill you a thousand times. Don't hesitate. If you are determined, you won't fall into my threat." Chen Songnan changed the subject again, "Besides, if you win this time, you will benefit a lot."

Qin Xiao fell silent, and Chen Songnan ended the call directly.

The people in front of him looked at him in fear.

"It's all been dealt with." Chen Songnan was too lazy to say anything more. He stood up and left. Suddenly, wailing sounds of crying for parents were heard from behind.

"Remember to forge the travel records and say that the city guards left here on their own." Chen Songnan ordered indifferently.

"Boss." The man next to him looked hesitant and whispered, "There is a guy who is not dead."

"Hmm?" Chen Songnan glanced at him coldly.

He felt a chill in his heart, but still explained: "According to your instructions, in order to lure them in, we did not show up, and only cleaned up the scene after it was over."

"And... moreover, the silver ash mother ore in your office was also taken away by him."

"What did you say?" Chen Songnan's originally good mood was completely ruined.

What he cared about was not the silver-ash mother ore, but the fact that something unexpected had happened that was under his control. Facing Qin Xiao's complacency, it was like a slap in the face.

"What's going on!?" he asked.

"We didn't know. The other party used a small EMP and the hidden cameras were also interfered with." He explained carefully.

"Twelve suspended machine guns, large-caliber turrets, and electromagnetic laser networks were all destroyed, and the means of destruction were somewhat unimaginable."

Chen Songnan's face was gloomy.

After a few minutes, he stared at the small holes on the alloy door and the small holes on the wall, and finally understood what was incredible.

"There are no signs of high temperature penetration on the edge. It seems more like simple rust, but this is almost impossible..." The subordinate said helplessly: "The machine gun tower was penetrated by a sniper bullet."

"But none of those people were carrying such heavy weapons."

"What is the name of the person who survived?" Chen Songnan's eyes were cold.

"Li Ming."

.........

"Another mission?"

In the room, the returning city guards gathered together. Zuo Ling was puzzled, "They have other missions and don't take you with them?"

Wang Zhiheng next to him also frowned, "Zhao Xiong has other tasks, how come I don't know about it."

"Who knows?" Li Ming shrugged. "This building sounded an alarm for no apparent reason. I stayed in the room the whole time. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known they disappeared."

Killing the city guards is a serious crime. The game between Qin Xiao and Chen Songnan cannot be brought to the surface.

boom!
The metal door opened, and a group of people came in aggressively, and then made way for them. The person who came was Chen Songnan.

Zuo Ling stood up, Wang Zhiheng frowned, and Xu Wei in the corner also looked over.

"What are you doing?" Wang Zhiheng asked.

Chen Songnan looked unhappy, "The silver-gray star mother ore in my office was stolen."

"Huh?" Wang Zhiheng was stunned, while Xu Wei picked up the portable recorder.

"So what?" Wang Zhiheng asked quickly.

"Routine inspection." Chen Songnan said in a deep voice, staring at Li Ming.

This kid is so brave. He managed to escape with his life, but instead of leaving quickly, he dared to return to his office and take away the Silver-Gray Star Mother Ore. He really doesn't take him seriously.

"Something was lost?" Li Ming frowned and stood up and asked, "When was it lost? How much is it worth? Are there any suspects?"

Then, Li Ming also took out his smart terminal and said solemnly: "I am Li Ming, the city guard, and I am now accepting the report from Chen Songnan, the executive director of the Silver Gray Star Branch of Xingchuang Company."

Chen Songnan's face suddenly turned pale. This boy actually dared to do this. It was simply a slap in the face, and he slapped him left and right!
