Chapter 27 Armored? (Please read!)

[Tiger-Paddle Armored Prosthetic Limb - F-Class: A prosthetic limb tailored for a certain gene seed.

Control conditions: 50 points of metal energy

Control Effect: Armor

Control Ability - Tiger Hunting: Increases 25% speed and 25% strength for a sudden attack.

F-class armed prosthetic limbs are the standard prosthetic limbs for the cadres of the Fierce Tiger Gang. They are not replaced because of injuries, but are replaced proactively to enhance strength.

All the data were within expectations, but what puzzled him was what this "armoring" was?

The control effect is not as intuitive as before, but the time now does not allow him to think carefully.

Yang Peng and others should arrive here soon, take control and put it away.

Li Ming looked around and quickly made some arrangements.

………

"What's going on now? Where are the others?!" Yang Peng's expression was gloomy as he rushed towards the target, while constantly asking in the channel...

"Qi Zhengyuan was killed immediately, and Wang Zhaoguo and I evacuated the scene at the same time." Zhang Gong reported.

"As for Li Ning and Li Ming, they should have retreated as well." Zhang Gong was not sure and seemed a little hesitant.

"What do you mean by 'should'?" Yang Peng shouted angrily, and then called out in the channel: "Li Ning, Li Ming, if you hear this, please respond immediately!"

There was deathly silence, without any sound. Yang Peng felt even more uneasy. How could he be so unlucky to run into Pang Wenlong on his first mission!

And those two guys... Yang Peng looked tense, knowing that he couldn't blame Zhang Gong and Wang Zhaoguo. Even if Pang Wenlong was injured, they were not someone they could deal with.

You must not die here!

Yang Peng was extremely anxious and just wanted to go faster. He even hoped that Li Ming was as afraid of death as Zhang Gong and the others.

If Li Ming died here, he didn't know how to face Brother Changhai, his old father and daughter. How dare they sever ties with him!

Hurry, hurry!

Bang!

He leaped into the area, sending dust and sand flying.

The first thing he saw was Qi Xin lying on the ground with his eyes open. His anger grew even stronger, and then he turned to Li Ning who was lying not far away.

There was a piece of gravel next to it, as if it had been accidentally hit by a flying stone, but its breathing was still relatively even.

Where's Li Ming?!

“Crash!”

The sound of rocks turning over came from the ruins not far away. Yang Peng's face suddenly changed. He stared at the place intently, ready to strike.

Another concrete block was pushed down, and Li Ming squeezed out from it, gasping for breath.

"Still alive!" Yang Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what happened here, but being able to survive from Pang Wenlong was Li Ming's greatest luck.

But before he could go forward to ask, his pupils suddenly contracted, as if a major earthquake had occurred, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Because behind Li Ming was a corpse, even though it was in tatters and had limbs missing.

But from the familiar combat uniform on the other party, Yang Peng immediately confirmed that it was Pang Wenlong's body.

"Pang Wenlong, dead!?"

"Li Ming killed him?"

"No, how is this possible!" Yang Peng subconsciously didn't believe it. He rushed forward quickly, not bothering to talk to Li Ming, and lowered his head to check the corpse.

It was really Pang Wenlong, but where was his mechanical arm? He looked at his broken right arm. The wound on it was messy, as if it had been torn off by a huge force.

The chest was pierced, the wound was irregularly located, and there were some other wounds on the body, crisscrossing and running, like... claws?

"What's going on?" Yang Peng stood up and stared at Li Ming's face.

Li Ming had a look of relief on his face. He swallowed his saliva and said sadly, "Captain Yang, Team Leader Qi... is dead."

"I know. I want to ask you what exactly happened here and how did Pang Wenlong die!" Yang Peng was eager to know everything that happened.

"Yes... that's it..." Li Ming seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and then said: "We will stay here..."

“…”

Soon, Yang Peng figured out the whole story, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"You mean, after Pang Wenlong killed Qi Xin, he was about to attack you, but suddenly a stranger showed up, started fighting with Pang Wenlong, and even tore off his prosthetic limbs?"

It sounds a bit far-fetched.

Suddenly, Yang Peng raised his hand and punched Li Ming on the shoulder. The sudden huge force made Li Ming stagger back.

"You...F-level?" Yang Peng's expression suddenly changed slightly. F-level life forms do not have much qualitative change compared to ordinary life forms, and are difficult to observe with the naked eye.

But what happened today, combined with Li Ming's previous strange behavior, made him have some guesses. After trying it out, he found something wrong.

"I..." Li Ming's eyes were vague, and he seemed to be feeling guilty.

"Tell me honestly, I won't hurt you." Yang Peng said in a deep voice.

"It's my father..." Li Ming said resignedly, "He... left me the Tenglong potion and gene seeds, and I used them."

"Tenglong potion and gene seeds?" Yang Peng's eyes flashed. "Is this why Brother Changhai mortgaged the house?"

"No, the market value of these two items combined is at least two hundred thousand star coins."

"Yeah..." Li Ming sighed helplessly, "My father sold the house a long time ago, but he reached an agreement with the owner not to transfer the property rights for the time being. He then mortgaged the house to the Tiger Gang."

Even Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Was your father's death really caused by the Fierce Tiger Gang?"

But then he shook his head: "That's not right. If that's the case, why didn't they do anything to you?"

Li Ming was silent, you can imagine it yourself.

"You don't have to be so anxious. There's no need to hide your strength." Looking at the silent Li Ming, Yang Peng soothed him, "Since your father has done this, just bear with it."

What I'm hiding is not my strength, but the truth behind murder.

If he had been exposed earlier, Yang Peng would have definitely listed him as a key suspect.

"Captain Yang, could you please hide the truth for me temporarily? I'm afraid of the Xionghu Gang..." he hesitated.

"That's true. Although the amount of star coins involved in this incident is not too many, it is a blatant slap in the face of the Fierce Tiger Gang. If they don't get back at this, they will probably become a laughing stock." Yang Peng agreed deeply.

"Plus, the Interstellar Review Team is about to arrive, and Star Creation Company is secretly making moves. Things have been very turbulent recently."

No, I'm afraid that the forces that destroyed Li Changhai haven't left yet...

Li Ming added in his heart.

"However, how much of what you just said is false?" Yang Peng changed the subject and asked again.

"I...this..." Li Ming looked puzzled, wondering how he could be seen through. He said helplessly, "In fact, that man and Pang Wenlong were both injured. He tore off Pang Wenlong's prosthetic limb and fled. Pang Wenlong wanted to leave, but I stopped him... and killed him..."

Sure enough... Yang Peng was not surprised. Li Ming was still too young and was easily tricked by him.

He didn't doubt that Li Ming was still lying. Pang Wenlong's strength was obviously not something Li Ming could deal with.

Pang Wenlong's removed armed prosthetic limb is the evidence for Li Ming's statement. They will have to conduct a carpet cleanup later, and there will be no place to hide the armed prosthetic limb.

"However, the truth can be concealed, but the credit cannot be lost." Yang Peng patted Li Ming's shoulder. "Whether you killed him or found him, Pang Wenlong's body is in your hands, so the credit is yours."

"That's it, don't be so fussy."
