Chapter 36 Gains and Impact
After making sure there was nothing else in the room, he destroyed the hole made by the sniper rifle.
He went to the first floor again and found the bullet embedded in the ground. It had created a deep hole as big as a bowl. He took out the shrapnel in the center, held it in his hand to absorb it, and it also gave him more than ten points of metal energy.
With the help of enhanced assassination techniques, various other traces were further destroyed.
The robotic arm holding Zhang Hu in his hand had obviously been modified. There was an empty syringe inside, which should be some kind of injectable drug used to stimulate genetic mutation.
After carefully reviewing and making sure that nothing was missed, Li Ming left through the window.
He found a remote abandoned building and, in the dim moonlight, looked at the safe in his hand. It was silver-white, extremely thick, and about half a meter high.
The LCD panel has three unlocking methods: fingerprint, pupil pattern, and gene.
"This kind of safe should have a self-destruction setting. If the password is wrong, the contents will be destroyed." Li Ming estimated.
He didn't know the combination, but that wasn't a problem. At his current absorption rate, it only took him half an hour to rust through the right edge of the safe.
When the cover was opened, a faint purple light came towards me.
"Amethyst?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and picked up a slender purple crystal. It was cold all over. It was an interstellar precious metal with a public price.
Per gram - 1500 star coins.
There is a 10 mark on this small piece, which should be 10 grams. There are ten pieces in total on the first layer of the safe.
The total is 150,000 star coins.
Li Ming's breathing became a little faster. The value of interstellar precious metals is strong. Instead of depositing the money in the black hole network to be ripped off, it is better to turn it into interstellar precious metals.
Zhang Hu has only been rising for a few years, but he has already amassed all this wealth. No wonder he has become so famous.
Maybe he still has some balance in his black hole network, but that one-time instantaneous energy barrier is expensive and cannot be bought through regular channels, with a very high premium.
After trying, Li Ming confirmed that these purple crystals could still be absorbed by him and transformed into metal energy.
"In this case, maybe there's no need to take action."
He certainly couldn't sell this thing through regular channels, so he could only go through the Black Hole Network, and the purchase price of the Black Hole Network was 40% lower than the market price.
Even if the market price is higher than the acquisition price, the Black Hole Network is too dark.
Their logic is very simple. Since you have made a move through us, it must not be made public, and we must make a lot of money from you.
Li Ming absorbed and summarized at the same time. The second layer of the safe contained a blue magnetic card and five tubes of F-level development potions.
He had originally planned to borrow some more money from Li Ning to buy a few more tubes, but now he didn't need to.
"This thing is..."
Li Ming picked it up and examined it carefully. There was no mark on this magnetic card, so it should be used for verification somewhere.
Since Zhang Hu put it away carefully, it must be useful. Let's put it away for now.
Carrying the safe and the purple crystal inside, he stepped into the sewer. With his current strength, he could carry these things and continue on his journey without any burden.
On the way, he could still absorb the safe, but when he got home, the safe had disappeared, the purple crystal was gone, and even the metal prosthesis had disappeared.
"One amethyst is worth about 160 points, ten of them is worth 1600 points, plus the amount from absorbing the safe..."
While Li Ming was dealing with his clothes, he was thinking about it. His metal energy, which had been dried up, was replenished again and even reached a new height.
1725 points.
Looking at this number, Li Ming was satisfied. The genetic testing device could be upgraded and the development speed could be increased to a higher level.
After taking a look, I found that many things on my body can be upgraded, such as the smart terminal and explosion-proof shield.
However, there is no urgent need at the moment, so there is no need to rush.
Glancing at the control bar, he found that upgrading the four-arm machine tool again would require 5,300 points, and the heavy sniper rifle would require an astonishing 8,000 points.
…
It was still dark and the rain was gradually stopping. Li Ming wanted to take this opportunity to rest for a while, but before he could even close his eyes, he was woken up by Xiao Huang.
It turned out to be Li Ning who came and waited at the door with a hurried look on his face. When he saw Li Ming coming out, he pulled him out.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even washed up yet."
Li Ning said anxiously, "Don't wash it, something serious has happened. Captain Yang was already very angry when he couldn't contact you at four or five o'clock."
"I muted it. I usually mute it when I sleep." Li Ming explained. Li Ning was helpless: "Brother, we are city guards, how can we mute it?"
The shuttle-shaped aircraft had already parked outside. Li Ning pushed Li Ming up and started it quickly.
"No, what's the rush?" Li Ming asked in confusion.
"Master, there's a huge commotion outside, and you're the only one who doesn't know anything." Li Ning said helplessly, "Last night, Scarface Tiger's lair was destroyed. Nearly twenty people died, including Scarface Tiger himself. It was a terrible scene."
"What?" Li Ming pretended to be surprised: "Who did it? It's so cruel."
"I want to know too. Everyone wants to know. The person who did it must be a ruthless person," said Li Ning.
Li Ning was obviously very anxious and pushed as fast as possible.
When he landed, Li Ming saw that the old house was surrounded by three layers of walls, and there were people bustling around, all busy.
He saw many familiar faces, including Yang Peng, Zhao Xiong, Wang Zhiheng, Zuo Ling... The four team leaders were all there, and there were no less than a hundred people working on site.
Their arrival was quite conspicuous. Yang Peng came forward, frowned, and said loudly: "From now on, no matter what time, I must be able to contact you!"
If he curses first, others won't have any handle to blame.
"Understood." Li Ming nodded, and Yang Peng waved his hand, signaling them to clean up the scene.
"The hard drive was soaked in water overnight. It's basically completely damaged. Repair is unlikely." Several technicians held the hard drive that had been broken in half and shook their heads helplessly. "Repairing it is useless. Turn it off first and then unplug it. Are you really that cautious..."
"The surveillance camera under the eaves has a damaged wiring. This is probably a test to see how the group reacts. If they're too aggressive, he won't act rashly. He's very experienced." Wang Zhiheng rubbed his chin and speculated with a few others. Someone nearby sneered:
"A bunch of rabble, probably thinking the damage to the surveillance camera was caused by the rain."
As bodies were carried out, covered with white sheets, colleagues from the on-site inspection department busily took photos, sighing: "Killed in one blow, swift, accurate and ruthless... There was no ability to resist, it was completely crushed."
Yang Peng stood at the stairs and looked up. "There are absolutely no signs of fighting on the first floor, nor on the second floor. He cleaned up the scum one by one before attacking Zhang Hu. He was very patient."
"But something came crashing down." Zuo Ling squatted in front of the big pit on the first floor, then looked up at the big hole in the ceiling.
"There's a large hole in his chest, and his robotic arm has been removed. It's similar to how Pang Wenlong died." Zhao Xiong walked down, his expression gloomy. "Also, there are signs of genetic abnormalities on Zhang Hu's body."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Zhiheng who was checking the corpse, Yang Peng who was standing at the stairs, and Zuo Ling who was squatting on the ground, all looked at him at the same time.
"Can't even defeat the genetic mutation? E-level?" Wang Zhiheng spoke first, his expression more serious than ever before.
