This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 72 I bet there are no bullets in your gun! (For the leader of Brother Octopus!)

The cave was shaking. Sand and stones were falling in the stone passage. The hanging lamps on the stone walls were trembling and the shadows of the lights were flickering.

"Chen Songnan, if we all die here, you will be in trouble!" Xu Wei saw that Chen Songnan was still going to leave everyone behind and run away, so he shouted loudly.

Chen Songnan paused and looked at her gloomily. There was still the last batch of refined marrow gold ore underground that had not been sent away. If it was discovered, it would be a big trouble.

But if we ignore them and let them run around, what if we bump into...

Damn, how could these silver-gray beasts suddenly riot! He was angry and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, if the silver-gray beasts catch up, we will all die."

"If you take us deeper, won't that also be a dead end?" Wang Zhiheng asked.

"Our outpost is further inside." Chen Songnan said quickly, glancing at everyone obscurely, his gaze pausing on Li Ming.

"I'll cover you, Xiao Zhang. I'll give you the map, and you lead the way."

Chen Songnan actually decided to cover the retreat. Li Ming became alert and thought that something must be wrong.

An accompanying assistant in the crowd responded hurriedly and then pointed the way ahead.

Due to the change of direction, the people who were originally at the back became the ones exploring the way, while Li Ming and his companions who were exploring the way now became the ones at the back.

The group was moving very fast, and those who couldn't keep up were picked up and ran. Faint roars and screams could be heard from behind, and the echoes were buzzing.

This time they were obviously heading underground. After turning around several times, they came to a huge cavity underground.

They came in from a passage on the side and there was a cliff not far away, which was dark and gloomy.

This space is incredibly large, with holes all over the stone wall next to it, as if it was cut out by some large instrument.

Some areas were attached with hollow metal plates, which were now covered with moss, and soft-bodied insects were hiding in panic.

When they came here, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"There is such a large space underground." Wang Zhiheng looked at the almost boundless darkness.

"Something's wrong." Xu Wei looked at the rusty metal plates, which were obviously quite old. She looked at Chen Songnan and said in a deep voice, "What on earth are you doing here!?"

Chen Songnan had a blank expression on his face. "I don't know what reporter Xu is talking about. Let's run for our lives."

Xu Wei's face was tense, but now was definitely not the time to argue.

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from a narrow passage above and rushed towards everyone.

boom! boom! boom!
Flames gushed out, Li Ming raised his gun, reacted extremely quickly, fired a series of shots, and the black shadow fell to the ground.

"Silver-gray beast!" Xu Wei recognized it at a glance, and this was just the beginning. More silver-gray beasts jumped down from the passage above, with bloodshot eyes and huge teeth.

"Go, go quickly!" Wang Zhiheng and Zuo Ling quickly unfolded the explosion-proof shields they carried with them, raised their guns and started shooting.

"Eyes or neck!" Xu Wei reminded.

The silver-gray beast rushing in the front had its eyes exploded and blood gushed out from its neck, which was its most vulnerable part.

But the silver-gray beasts leaping down before him were almost endless, some only one or two meters long, some as big as houses.

boom!
Blazing red flames fell from the sky, blowing away a large number of silver-gray beasts. Chen Songnan jumped out from behind, his arms wrapped in flames. His arms turned dark brown, covered with red grooves, like the charred ground under a volcano.

boom!
The fist splashed out liquid like magma, which hit the ground and even raised columns of magma fire, forcing the silver-gray beasts to dare not move forward.

But more and more silver-gray beasts poured out of the passage, and some even squeezed down the cliff.

Li Ming and his companions fought and retreated at the same time. Once they retreated into the passage, the pressure was not so great.

boom!
Zuo Ling had already retreated into the passage, but Li Ming's face changed slightly. With a whistling sound of wind, a silver-gray beast burning with flames came towards him, blocking his retreat.

Li Ming reacted quickly and slid to the right, avoiding the attack by a hair's breadth. The strong wind ruffled his hair, mixed with the heat of the flames.

The next moment, Chen Songnan had already fallen, just blocking the narrow passage, and directly knocked Wang Zhiheng in. The flames were blazing, blocking Wang Zhiheng's vision, and at the same time shouted: "Go quickly, don't waste time!"

Li Ming stood there without moving, squinting his eyes. There was a cliff not far behind him, and Chen Songnan also looked at him.

Time seemed to slow down, Chen Songnan suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, and then jumped up!

The whole person rushed towards Li Ming, his speed was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, and his fists were filled with strong flames.

Li Ming's pupils contracted, he stepped back with his right foot, crossed his fists, and blocked in front of him.

"You are overestimating your own abilities!" A hint of contempt flashed across Chen Songnan's eyes.

The fist wrapped in fire sank down, missed Li Ming's crossed arms, and landed on the lower part of Li Ming's chest. A large piece of flame burst out, and with a bang, Li Ming flew out and fell towards the cliff.
Why is it so hard to touch? Chen Songnan was a little confused. The feedback from the impact on Li Ming just now was not right.

However, after looking at the Silence Cliff, he secretly shook his head. Maybe it was some kind of armor. It didn’t matter anymore. With Li Ming’s life level, he couldn’t survive.

Silver-gray beasts were rushing over from all directions. Chen Songnan killed a slightly larger silver-gray beast, blocked the entrance of the cave, and then left quickly.

……

The silver-grey beasts wailed and fell into the bottomless darkness below. Li Ming's body was almost stuck to the stone wall, and two drill mechanical arms were deeply embedded in the stone wall, supporting his body.

In the chest area, the city guards' standard combat uniforms had been burned through, revealing a layer of silver-grey metal armor.

"Fortunately, after strengthening, it can be stimulated autonomously. At least five layers have been stacked, and I can still feel pain. This is the strength of a D-level life form." Li Ming murmured to himself, feeling the burning pain in his chest.

His eyes were dim, "But it's better this way, you are in the light, and I am in the dark."

Li Ming climbed up with the help of the robotic arm, and suddenly stopped when he was still some distance away from the top of the cliff.

The number of silver-gray beasts seemed to be small. Amid the sound of galloping, there were faint voices, some of which were faint.

"It seems that a battle took place here." A deep male voice said, "The magma that just dried up should be the one called Chen Songnan. D-level life forms are really powerful."

"Except for the silver-gray beast that was trampled into a meat paste, there should be no other casualties. Is it worth making such a big fuss just to kill that guy called Li Ming?"

Li Ming's heart was slightly shocked. Is he coming for me?

The person called "Jin"?
"No matter how big the noise is, it doesn't matter as long as we are not responsible." This time it was a female voice. "Last time, that guy tricked us and caused us to be reprimanded by the chief. The captain can't swallow this anger."

The man said, "It wasn't just last time. This guy called Li Ming deceived us all from the beginning and killed Black Spider. The boss must be taking revenge."

"Okay, stop wasting time and keep chasing to see what's going on." A female voice spoke, and sporadic silver-gray beasts passed by them as if they were unaware of the two people.

The two were about to continue tracking when they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the edge of the cliff.

"Hmm?" The woman in leather jacket paused and turned her head, her chest towering and her brows slightly furrowed.

"what sound?"

"It could be the silver-gray beasts that just fell down." The man next to her said nonchalantly. "I'll go take a look." Out of caution, the woman followed closely to the edge of the cliff, leaned out her upper body, looked down, and then turned pale.

A mechanical arm continued to enlarge in her eyes and pierced directly through her chest. Her eyes rolled and she became silent.

She never dreamed that there was a person hiding under the cliff.

"Scorpion!" the man cried out, looking at the blood-red drill sticking out of the scorpion's back.

Before he could react, he saw the scorpion's body being thrown towards him, and he subconsciously leaped back.

Then a figure was seen rushing out from the bottom of the cliff at an extremely fast speed, and the four mechanical arms behind it were even faster.

Is there someone under the cliff?!
"Li...!" The figure in the pupil became clearer and clearer, and the man was extremely frightened. He recognized that this person was their target.

How could he be hiding here?
No one could answer his question. The piercing pain instantly paralyzed his whole body, and then his vision became blurry, and finally he fell into darkness.

Li Ming's figure fell down, killing the two men effortlessly.

But a few silver-gray beasts that fell behind the main group turned around and stared at him with their scarlet eyes.

"Why are they not affected?" Li Ming was puzzled and quickly dealt with these silver-gray beasts.

Then he took out some things from the corpse. They were all worthless things, but they could make up 100 or 200 points of metal energy.

The only thing worth noting are the two tubes of liquid, one is pink and the other is green.

As soon as the pink liquid tube was pulled out, the silver-gray beasts that were surrounding it, staring at it hungrily, suddenly rushed over, roaring as if they were stimulated by something.

Li Ming understood immediately and pushed aside the green liquid tube. Suddenly, the silver-gray beasts passed by him and ignored him.

"So that's how it is..." Li Ming thought for a moment, then threw the bodies of the two people off the cliff. He pondered for a moment, climbed up the stone wall with the help of a mechanical arm, and finally stopped at a very high position, lying dormant here quietly.

"Let me see how many rabbits I can expect."

Soon, two figures jumped out from a stone path. One of them was wearing a windbreaker, and the other was short, but he was holding a large terminal device in his hand. He frowned and said:
"Scorpion and Del should be here. Where are they?"

"Is it misplaced?"

Black Hawk looked around with a frown. There was only blood, flesh and mud here and he could not see anything. His eyes fell outside the cliff.

When he reached the edge, he squatted down, stuck his head out and looked over. His face changed slightly. He saw some marks that were obviously left just now, like some kind of drill.

boom!
The sound was extremely abrupt, like a sudden thunderclap out of nowhere. Almost at the same time, Black Hawk disappeared from the spot.

But what bloomed afterwards was the short man's brain.

He fell down stiffly, with a bloody hole on his forehead and the back of his head turned into a paste.

Black Hawk hid in the shadows with a gloomy face. Through the trajectory of the ballistic missile, he had already guessed the enemy's location.

"Sniper rifle, it should be your father's sniper rifle." Black Hawk said loudly, tearing off the corner of his windbreaker and throwing it out.

boom!
The corners of his clothes were shredded, and Black Hawk was more certain of his target's location. The grooves on his face were like weathered stones. He continued, "You know, you surprised me. Not only you, but also your father."

"Our intelligence has collected all the details about you and your son over the past six years. I don't know how your father taught you, but you deceived all of our intelligence personnel."

"Your father was once like us, and he knew that our first priority was our goal."

boom!
Another piece of clothing was torn to pieces, followed by the figure of Black Hawk, who quickly moved to another direction.

boom!
The rocks in front of him exploded, and Black Hawk hid in the shadows. His heart beat faster, and his whole body became hot. Black lines appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

"The second most important thing is hiding... But I'm curious, since you've been hiding for so many years, why don't you continue to hide?"

"Or…"

Whoosh!
The figure of a black eagle suddenly jumped out, a faint cry was heard, the wind was whistling, the windbreaker was fluttering, like a hunting eagle, it jumped diagonally upward into a narrow stone path.

boom!
The bullet passed through the afterimage he left behind.

"You want revenge?" Black Hawk continued. Disturbing the prey's mentality is also a very important step. "He is a good father. He really managed to hide his identity. Unfortunately..."

"However, I can guarantee that he didn't suffer any pain when he died. Well... maybe."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed off the ground with his feet and rushed out again, also at an extremely fast speed.

Another bang! Another miss.

Black Eagle grinned, and faced a smooth stone wall. He was about to crash into it, but his whole body twisted with great flexibility and then stared at the stone wall.

He saw the young man hiding in the shadows, already in panic and fear.

"The Rainfield heavy sniper rifle has an effective range of 3km and there are only five bullets in the magazine. I'll count that you've loaded one into the chamber, so there are only six bullets left." Black Hawk said happily. Normally, when completing a target, he was extremely cautious and expected unexpected situations.

It has been a long time since I had such a satisfying hunt.

"Now, there is no more in your gun..." Black Hawk hadn't finished his words when his confident look suddenly changed.

Suddenly, in the shadow, a flash of lightning appeared, and a bright blue flame gushed out, and the last electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile left by Li Changhai was fired!

Phew!

A bloody light suddenly appeared, and Black Hawk's body fell down with a bang. A large piece of flesh and blood was torn off his right shoulder. Blood gushed out uncontrollably, and his body was twitching.

"The seventh bullet?" Black Hawk endured the severe pain and couldn't believe it. He calculated very accurately and the time interval between each exposure was not long, just to prevent Li Ming from changing the magazine.

But how come he still fired this electromagnetic armor-piercing bullet, and the timing was so perfect, just when he was about to kill?

Could it be... An incredible thought emerged. Li Ming had predicted his prediction and knew that he would rush forward when the bullets ran out.

Without giving him a chance to think, another shot hit his thigh, but failed to tear his flesh.

For E-class life forms, the biggest threat to them is electromagnetic armor-piercing projectiles.

But then, BAM! BAM! BAM!

The gunshots continued, and just when Li Ming fired the third shot, Black Hawk finally rolled into the shadows and took a break.

Damn, Li Changhai modified his sniper rifle? How come there are so many bullets! ?

However, the good thing is that Li Ming is only an F-level life form after all. Even if he is seriously injured, he dare not show up easily and attack him head-on.

"Strange, why don't you have that kind of energy barrier?" Black Hawk finally heard the first sentence Li Ming said, with confusion, a figure landed not far away,

　When I woke up in the morning, I looked at the backstage and didn’t expect that there would be a leader. Thank you for your support!

　　Also, please give me a monthly ticket!
