"I don't want to conflict with you. As long as you release Fandel and let us ask you a few questions..." Li Lin looked back at Caitlin, "We won't make things difficult for you regarding the rest."

His tone was not friendly, and there was even a hint of command in it.

After all, Li Lin didn't know Silko, and Silko and Vander were enemies.

The enemy of a friend is still an enemy, so there is no need for Li Lin to be polite to Xierko.

"Haha...how arrogant!" Hilco chuckled, but there was no trace of a smile on his face. "Did you think that just because you got into this trick, I couldn't do anything to you?"

Li Lin looked at the remaining twenty or so thugs on the second floor in surprise and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think your group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals can stop me?"

"Why don't we just give it a try and find out?" Hilco said with a cold expression, snapping his fingers casually.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be a bomb?

Li Lin stared at the fearless Hilco and suddenly became alert.

Then, a hoarse roar that did not sound human came from a dark corner of the factory.

"Be careful! This is the monster under this guy's command! It was it that captured Fandel!" Upon hearing the roar, Wei hurriedly shouted a warning among the crowd behind him.

"Monsters..." Li Lin's eyes kept scanning his surroundings. "You guys should retreat a little and leave me more fighting space."

Everyone had no objection and retreated to the end of the corner of the wall that led to here.

Caitlin and Jace stood at the front of the crowd, ready to provide long-range fire support to Li Lin at any time.

Not too long passed.

Suddenly, Li Lin caught a glimpse of a faint flash of purple light in the corner dozens of meters away from him. It was difficult to capture its figure even with the naked eye.

He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and quickly started to use [data-based thinking].

But in the next second, a huge, blurry purple figure suddenly attacked from the blind spot of Li Lin's vision, and rushed straight towards the power armor at a speed that ordinary people could not react to.

Along with the sound of metallic friction and a powerful vibration, the system panel simultaneously issued a message upgrade:

[You are attacked by an alchemical-tech cyborg (an early experimental subject). Exoskeleton power armor -883 HP.]
