This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 80: Gun Master——【Bullet Sacrifice】 Tu Zheng’s Lair
"E-level life form, woman, I can only think of one target." Li Ming said calmly: "Blood Rose?"

"I guessed that someone might come to assassinate me, but I didn't expect it to be you. I have never dealt with you before."

"You've messed up the ecology of Silver Ash City. None of us can survive. If not you, who else should we look for?" Blood Rose shouted coldly, and she rushed towards him like a phantom.

laugh!
A dull sound broke the silence of the night. Li Ming stood there without moving, but Blood Rose's face changed drastically. She slid sideways and narrowly avoided a sharp purple edge.

"Who!?" She looked gloomy.

The one who made the move was naturally the cripple. The purple sickle on his back unfolded and danced with it like the wind. He moved faster, more accurately, and more ruthlessly, and every move was deadly.

"Who are you?" Blood Rose questioned. She had been staring at Li Ming for a long time and only saw him walk out of the City Guard Building today.

She finally found an opportunity, but unexpectedly there was someone guarding next to her. She was a complete stranger to this person.

Keng!
Flames were flying everywhere, and He Yu held the snake-shaped dagger with both hands. The dagger turned red in a few seconds and had a thermal energy effect.

The lame man's expression was slightly tense, and just as he was about to make the next move, he felt a heat in front of him, and blood gushed out from Blood Rose's chest and sprayed on his face.

Blood Rose's movements were stiff, a painful and numb feeling swept through her body. She looked down and saw a tiny drill coming out of her chest. The combat suit that was strong enough to withstand kinetic bullets did not have any delaying effect.

The drill was slowly retracted, Li Ming's face was calm. With the D-class armored four arms and the [Charged Attack], if he couldn't kill an E-class life form that was being dragged down, then what was the point of playing?

"Pooh, pooh..." The lame man spat out two mouthfuls of blood foam and said dissatisfiedly: "The blood is all splashed in my mouth."

Then, he looked at the mechanical arm that slowly retracted behind Li Ming and couldn't help but ask, "Where did this thing come from?"

"I picked it up on the road." Li Ming said perfunctorily. The lame man was speechless and said, "I don't think this woman can do anything to you. Why did she ask me to watch over you?"

"It's better to be prepared, just in case there are too many people coming." Li Ming squatted in front of Blood Rose. In this situation, he couldn't hold back. Her vital signs were gradually fading.
After removing the mask, Li Ming saw her appearance and couldn't help but be a little stunned——
"He Yu?"

This woman was Qin Xiao's secretary He Yu, but her temperament just now was very different from her usual self. She was charming and seductive, yet murderous.

"So you are the leader of the Rose Society..." Li Ming suddenly realized, "It is rumored that the leader of the Rose Society is the lover of a certain high-ranking official in the city. I didn't expect that he has been right under my nose all along."

Blood foam was oozing out of Blood Rose's mouth. She kept twitching and couldn't utter a word.

"The relationship between you and Qin Xiao should be one of mutual benefit, right? Is it worth it to assassinate me for him?" Li Ming was a little puzzled.

The hatred in He Yu's eyes could not be dispelled, and soon it became completely silent.

Li Ming shook his head, stood up and said, "Uncle Lame, please collect the reward for me."

"You are too careful."

"Who knows if she has told others to assassinate me? If I accept her reward, it will be too obvious."

The lame man also understood this logic. He collected the reward for Li Ming and then transferred it to him.

Pick up the two snake daggers on the ground--[Thermal Dagger--E]

The stuff is good, but Li Ming can’t use it. After he absorbs it, the two together can give him two thousand points of metal energy.

Li Ming looked down at the corpse of Blood Rose: "The leader of the Rose Society has come to our door. Where are the Wild Dog Gang and the Fierce Tiger Gang?"

It's his turn to harvest the leeks.

The cripple put away his sickle and asked, "Were you using a special training method just now?"

.........

Early the next morning, Li Ming went to the City Guard Building. Many people were discussing the death of Blood Rose from the Rose Society, which was too sudden.

Many city guards were familiar with this blood rose and had fought against it for many years, but they did not expect it to die so silently.

Many people greeted us along the way, and the rumor had spread that those interstellar bigwigs would leave soon.

The ministers that are missing in various departments are all assigned by the capital star, but now they are still vacant.

For other departments, people with longer experience and better integrity are selected from the original departments to take up the posts temporarily while waiting for the arrival of the new minister.

Only on the City Guard side, it was said that Yang Peng was appointed as the temporary minister, which caused quite a stir, a triple jump.

Although he is only a temporary minister, with this resume, he may be able to become a real minister.

If he can support his own confidants during this period of time, it is hard to say who will be the real minister in the future.

As everyone knows, Minister Yang has no son, only a daughter, who is very kind to Li Ming. Minister Yang's father even treats Li Ming as his own son.

“Brother Li…” When he arrived at the firearms training room, several old guys who looked to be in their thirties or forties called him Brother.

Li Ming shook his head speechlessly, wandered around casually, and found his target.

A silver-white pistol that he had used before. Its ability was [Veteran], which temporarily improved the control of the gun.

"The person in charge here..." He looked around and called out tentatively.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head came running up to him with a flattering smile: "What's wrong?"

"Director Zhang." Li Ming glanced at the nameplate on his chest and said, "I like this gun very much. Can I take it away?"

"I know this is not in accordance with procedure, you..."

Many people looked over and found that the guns in the training room were all registered, and one missing bullet was a big deal on a normal day.

"No problem, absolutely no problem." Director Zhang interrupted Li Ming's next words: "When we are on duty in the field, it is very important to have a handy gun. You can take it away, and I will handle the rest of the procedures."

"Okay." Li Ming shrugged and picked another one. "This one...is not bad either."

Director Zhang's face changed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Take them all away, take them all away."

He looked at Li Ming who was looking around nervously, luckily he didn't say he wanted to take some away.

The people who had watched secretly looked at each other in silence.

Walking into the bathroom, Li Ming immediately took control of the two training guns, both of which were [Veteran].

Li Ming tried to upgrade one of them, spending 5550 points to upgrade it to D level and activate [Veteran].

His brain was dizzy as knowledge about firearms flooded into his mind. Even an excellent soldier who had served for many years might not be as familiar with various firearms as he was.

Li Ming didn't know what changes these skill-related effects would undergo if he continued to improve.

Sure enough, a prompt popped up - [Firearm control has been upgraded to master level, and the ability has been obtained - Bullet Sacrifice, whether to permanently solidify it]

Li Ming carefully checked——
[Bullet Sacrifice: Every 24 hours, the first bullet fired can bless the abilities you control]

?

Li Ming's pupils dilated slightly. Is this possible?
Bullets can be blessed, and he instantly thought of many methods.

Although only one can be fired a day, it is enough to serve as a killer.

What's more, he might have other special abilities in the future.

……

Another five days passed, and the interstellar review team and the Blue Star accompanying personnel were leaving.

After the situation in Silver Gray City was completely settled, they returned to the capital planet with Qin Xiao and the other four ministers. They would be greeted with a severe trial. Under the gaze of several acting ministers, the interstellar spaceship slowly took off, the engine spewing out purple-blue flames several meters long, and the wind blew in their faces. The spaceship gradually disappeared from their sight.

Everyone had mixed emotions.

The Sixth Patrol Fleet will not leave immediately to help SilverAsh City stabilize the situation, but it will not last too long.

Due to the death of Chen Songnan, the operation of Xingchuang Company on Silver Gray Star also came to a standstill, waiting for a new executive director.

On the third day after these bigwigs left, there was a heavy rain in Silver Ash City. The rain clouds covered a very wide area, mixed with black and brown dust, flowing over the ground.

In the heavy rain, a burly man was naked, with rain sliding down his cheeks, rushing across the ground, passing through the narrow stone path, and coming to a cave underground.

There are many people scattered here and there.

"Brother Hu." Someone greeted him. He nodded casually, looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the figure that was like a stone wall.

"Godfather." He stepped forward quickly and whispered, "I have already met with the old dog. There is no problem."

"Okay!" Tu Zheng stood up suddenly. "Let's go and meet him. Chen Songnan has disappeared and Qin Xiao has fallen, but we will never die so easily."

He encouraged the others, then walked out, braving the heavy rain, and after a two-hour trek, he finally reached his destination.

This was a basin where a group of figures in black raincoats were crouching. Upon seeing them coming, one of them slowly stood up. He was not tall, with sinister eyes.

The two men looked at each other and were about to speak when they suddenly looked up and saw several rays of light with tails of flames falling from the sky and landing in the basin.

"Damn, we've been fooled, they are hooks!" This thought came to Tu Zheng and the old greedy dog's mind at the same time, and they turned around and ran.

However, it was too late. Rockets fell from the sky with a bang and billowing smoke and dust. Some people were killed on the spot and many more were crying for their parents.

Dozens of aircraft flew out from behind the mountains on both sides, spewing flames and metal torrents mixed with the rain.

Tu Zheng and the old greedy dog ​​fled separately, with a large number of bullets pouring down on them, sparks flying all the time and mud and water splashing under their feet.

After a round of bombing, the fully armed city guards landed from the aircraft.

High in the sky, several drones locked onto the two men's positions, and there was no way for them to escape.

Half an hour later, Tu Zheng, who was covered in wounds, and the old greedy dog ​​were pinned to the ground. Special genetic shackles suppressed their abilities and turned them into ordinary people.

But he still let out an unwilling roar.

"Minister!" Lin Yaoxian moved aside, and Yang Peng came over surrounded by the crowd. The people following him made Tu Zheng furious.

"It's you!? You betrayed me!?" Tu Zheng roared, his eyes bloodshot. "Since you followed me, I have never treated you unfairly. I gave you the name Ah Hu and treated you like my own son, but you actually betrayed me!!"

Ah Hu looked indifferent, and his usual respect turned into anger. "My name is not Ah Hu, my name is Zeng Hao!"

"My father is Zeng Zhengfa!"

Tu Zheng was stunned.

“Oh, you’ve killed so many people that you’ve probably even forgotten their names.” Zeng Hao sneered.

"Lin Ke, please take the two of them back first. I will finish here." Yang Peng said.

"Don't worry, Minister. I will complete the mission." Lin Yaoxian patted his chest and promised, then took his men to escort all the remaining survivors away.

.........

Half an hour later, Yang Peng, who was cleaning up the remaining minions in the cave, received a call from Lin Yaoxian. He cried and spoke in a trembling voice, "Minister, Tu Zheng and Tie Gou were... killed!"

"What!?" Yang Peng's face suddenly darkened. "What's going on?"

Although he was promoted as the temporary minister, his qualifications were not enough to convince the public, and he maintained basic respect for the old city guards.

But Lin Yaoxian handled this matter in a very ugly way.

Zeng Hao, who was not far away, had his eyes flickering slightly, and his expression seemed to change.

"Minister Yang..." Lin Yaoxian's tone was full of helplessness: "We were intercepted halfway, and the transport ship was suddenly disturbed, so we were forced to land."

"Who would have thought that just after landing, Tu Zheng and the old greedy dog ​​were shot in the head and died on the spot."

"Are you guys okay?" Yang Peng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Many guesses emerged in his mind, but he asked about the safety of others first.

"It's okay, brothers. It seems that the man's target is only the two of them."

Yang Peng sighed and could only say this: "Lin Ke, be careful, he may not have left yet."

"Actually..." Lin Yaoxian hesitated and said, "This happened five minutes ago. I contacted you only after I was sure there was no danger."

Yang Peng: “…”

At this moment, Section Chief Wang came over with a serious look on his face. The smart terminal in his hand showed the bounty column of the Black Hole Network. The bounties for Tu Zheng and Lao Tie Gou had been claimed, and the recipient was none other than - Shadow!

"It's him again!" Yang Peng frowned. This elusive bounty hunter really made him feel uncomfortable.

Just as the main force of Blue Star left, this person came out again. The only thing to be thankful for is that, at present, there is no sign of the other party killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Yang Peng was thinking in his mind, and no one noticed that Zeng Hao in the corner was quickly operating on the smart terminal.

…………

“This address…”

Li Ming looked at the message bar. This was the dialog box between him and Zeng Hao. The other party sent him an address with several conversations on it.

The last message Li Ming sent him was: "The person is dead."

"It's a bit far. Let's set off without further delay."

……

Two or three hours later, in a long-abandoned town, Li Ming came to a dilapidated building with the help of the smart terminal.

"It seems like this is it."

He put away his smart terminal, took control, and using the 360-degree panoramic view, soon found the heavy metal door hidden under the floor.

"This is Tu Zheng's lair. It's hidden in a very remote place." Li Ming rubbed his hands.

According to Zeng Hao, this is a secret castle of Tu Zheng, and there are many things hidden here in case he makes a comeback.

The metal door in front of him was rusted into a small hole, and Li Ming walked down the stairs. The metal corridor was dark. Halfway through, he stopped and looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner.

Then, he used the robotic arm to prop himself up, removed the surveillance probe, and pulled out the data transmission cable.

Then he took out a small intelligent computer, connected the two, and quickly cracked it. The security system here was too low-end, and the cracking software he had written before could easily obtain permissions.

Buzz—the wall lights lit up one by one, and the entire bunker was as bright as day.

　Ten thousand days a day, no day to come out
