Chapter 73: What is the truth about Star Creation Company?
Does he really dare to approach me?
Black Hawk had no time to think, this was his last chance. He endured the severe pain and turned over, his muscles and nerves twitching, and his whole body was bleeding.
His feet were planted on the ground, the wind was whistling, and his right hand, which was still able to move, was clenched into a claw, sweeping up the wind and heading towards Li Ming's head!
Li Ming could clearly see the ferocious face of Black Hawk, but instead of dodging, he took a step forward.
Since Black Hawk attacked from top to bottom, Li Ming's move caused his right hand target to become Li Ming's chest.
sonorous!
Li Ming stood still, Black Hawk's ferocious expression disappeared. He looked at Li Ming's chest in astonishment, the severe pain from his fingers shocking his nerves.
There seemed to be a big hole in Li Ming's uniform on his chest that was burned by the flames, and fine silver-gray armor covered it, which seemed to be still flowing.
His attack had absolutely no effect.
Li Ming raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and smashed it down with great force. Crack - Black Hawk's arm was broken in half, with bones exposed.
At this moment, the astonishment on his distorted face turned into disbelief.
E-class life form!?
As soon as they fought, he felt that Li Ming's strength could not be classified as that of an F-level life form.
He was half-kneeling on the ground, his facial features distorted to the extreme due to pain, his arms drooping, and blood pooling under his body.
"Heh...heh, I didn't expect that. I was really wrong. An E-class lifeform, this kind of scheming, this is right, this is right!"
His voice was hoarse and even a little crazy. "How long have they been secretly training you? What do they want you to do? Revenge?"
He seemed to have misunderstood something.
"I'm telling you, you're just wishful thinking. You're a bunch of old idiots. You should have been buried long ago. You're still thinking about revenge. You'll be discovered. You can't hide your identity anymore!"
laugh!
Blood spurted out, and Black Hawk's head rolled down, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to say something.
"So much nonsense." Li Ming shook his head, walked forward to rummage through the headless body of Black Hawk, took out a magnetic card with a screen, swiped it left and right twice, and a virtual image of a spaceship appeared.
"Spaceship key card?" There was a logo on it, and Li Ming recognized it. This group of people had their own spaceship, unlike bounty hunters who could only sneak across.
He pocketed it and prepared to look for it after leaving here. Regardless of whether there was anything hidden on it, the value of the spaceship itself was not small.
In addition to this item, there were two large-caliber pistols and the shoes on Black Hawk's feet.
[Powerful Magnetic Shoes - E: Special shoes made using electromagnetic properties.
Control conditions: 300 points of metal energy.
Control effect: Speed blessing - 60%
Control ability - Magnetic Bounce: Through strong magnetic energy, you can jump 10-30 meters.
This is an auxiliary equipment. Even if Li Ming jumps with all his strength, he can't jump more than 10 meters, and it also has the added bonus of speed.
Li Ming immediately took control and replaced the sniper rifle's slot with magnetic shoes. Suddenly, his legs seemed to be much lighter, as if they were carrying iron blocks before.
With a little effort, he jumped out for a distance.
With my current 4% development progress, it's considered fast among E-level life forms, he thought.
With his legs slightly bent, he exerted force suddenly, and with a bang, his feet jumped directly into the passage at the top as if they were equipped with thrusters.
After a while, he cleaned up the scene and kicked all the bodies off the cliff. What the short man was holding in his hand was not a smart terminal, but another device.
【Small Intelligent Brain--E: A more professional computing power support tool.
Control conditions: 400 metal energy points
Control Effect: Hacking Techniques--Intermediate
Control Ability - Calculation Blessing: Temporarily improves hacking skills to advanced level. 】
After taking control of this thing and taking all that could be absorbed from this group of people, Li Ming estimated that after the absorption, there would be about 3,000 points of metal energy left.
By killing this group of people, Li Ming was relieved of a major worry. It was very uncomfortable to have this group of people always thinking about him.
As for the hidden dangers brought by Jhin behind them and even bigger figures, he already had ideas in his mind.
"We have to wait for Uncle Que to deal with that matter. What we need to deal with right now is this guy Chen Songnan." Li Ming's eyes flashed with cold light. The other party was a D-level life form.
The strength displayed was astonishing. Li Ming could only barely withstand a head-on blow. It was simply unrealistic to fight with him.
But... the gap is not yet hopeless?
Director Chen, are you ready?
Li Ming looked at the narrow and dark passage.
………
A few minutes ago, on the stone path, Chen Songnan kept hitting the stone wall, and the falling debris gradually submerged the silver-gray beast chasing from behind, and it seemed to have stopped moving.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down their pace. Wang Zhiheng pressed the issue several times before finally getting angry and shouting, "Chen Songnan, I'm asking you, where's Li Ming?"
"Him?" Chen Songnan seemed to have just heard it, and turned around and said sadly, "He was covering my retreat. By now, he should have died a heroic death."
Wang Zhiheng's face lit up immediately, and he suddenly rushed to Chen Songnan's side. His eyes were almost spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bullshit! You're just a D-level lifeform, do you really need him to cover your retreat?!"
"Captain Wang, what do you mean by this? You can't doubt me, please show me the evidence!" Chen Songnan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"He's here to cover my family's loss. In addition to the compensation the city guards provide to his family, I'll personally contribute an additional sum as a token of my appreciation."
Xu Wei looked at him coldly, the smart terminal in her hand recording everything.
However, before everyone could rest for a moment, the surroundings began to shake again, and the stone wall above cracked, as if something was about to fall.
Chen Songnan's expression changed slightly, and he looked up. "What's going on? These silver-gray beasts seem to be targeting us. Something's wrong."
Suddenly, his sinister eyes swept across everyone, passed by the city guards, and finally landed on the accompanying personnel he brought with him.
"Have you had any contact with outsiders recently?" he asked.
He brought about five or six people with him, most of whom were a little confused, and only one was shaking all over.
Chen Songnan locked onto him instantly and shouted coldly, "Supervisor Nian, what's going on?"
The supervisor's face turned pale, his knees weakened, and he knelt down, saying in panic, "Director Chen, I... I... I called a home service yesterday..."
"Door-to-door service..." Chen Songnan's expression was icy. "Don't you know the company's rules? You're not allowed to contact outsiders during work hours!"
"I...I..." He was trembling and unable to speak.
Although I don’t know what exactly happened, the problem must be with this person.
Under normal circumstances, he would just kill him directly, but now with so many people watching, he was a little hesitant.
Snap!
"Keep running!" Chen Songnan urged everyone, and at the same time pulled up Manager Nian who was on the ground. With a bang, the narrow stone road collapsed, and a large number of silver-gray beasts fell from above.
Everyone didn't care about anything else and ran away. After more than ten minutes, Wang Zhiheng turned around and took a look, his expression changed slightly.
The annual supervisor that Chen Songnan was holding in his hand had disappeared at some point.
But the group of silver-gray beasts behind were still chasing them closely, and were even more aggressive.
Finally, there was another open space. It was a flat and extremely wide place. The temperature was a bit high, and a lot of equipment was thrown everywhere, including gloves and other things.
Compared to the previous platform's somewhat decayed metal hollow panels, this one looks very new.
Not far away, there was a large warehouse embedded in the stone wall, with the alloy door closed.
Xu Wei frowned. What on earth was Xingchuang Company doing secretly?
Chen Songnan seemed a little hesitant, but after hearing the trembling sound approaching from behind, he finally said, "Let's go!"
Arriving at the alloy gate, after fingerprints, facial scans, and blood tests—
"Xingchuang Company Silver Ash Star Branch, Executive Director - Chen Songnan, allowed entry."
The alloy door slowly opened, revealing a large space with several rows of metal boxes lined up against the wall.
Chen Songnan urged them so hard that everyone ignored everything else and rushed in.
With a hum, the alloy door started and gradually closed.
"Chen Songnan, why don't you come in?" Wang Zhiheng's face suddenly changed. The others then realized that the alloy door was about to close, but Chen Songnan was still standing outside the door.
Chen Songnan had a blank expression on his face. Wang Zhiheng had a bad feeling in his heart and subconsciously rushed towards him.
"It's just that this group of silver-gray beasts suddenly appeared."
Chen Songnan stood in place and just raised his hand, and a blazing flame gushed out, forcing Wang Zhiheng to stop and watch the alloy door close.
"What does he want to do!?" Wang Zhiheng kicked the alloy door, confused.
"The signal is also blocked. The problem might be in these boxes." Xu Wei walked closer and tried to open them. The boxes had combination locks. It took several people working together to barely open one.
A brilliant golden light shone out from the cracks in the box, illuminating everyone's faces. Their expressions changed from confusion to astonishment.
"Some kind of refined ore?" Sandra asked in surprise. What appeared before them were pieces of ore that had been refined long ago. They were a mixture of silver and gold, and were quite gorgeous.
"This isn't Silver-Ash Ore. There's another type of mineral on this planet!" Xu Wei instantly understood. "They discovered this ore on Silver-Ash Planet, but didn't report it. They mined it in secret, refined it, and then shrunk it down to a much smaller size before shipping it off the planet."
"They refine this kind of ore underground? Where does the energy come from?" Sandra was puzzled.
"Geothermal." Xu Wei spat out two words, gritting his teeth and saying, "Draining the pond to catch all the fish, damn Xingchuang Company."
"What does your boss want to do!" Wang Zhiheng grabbed an accompanying assistant and asked sternly.
The man trembled and said, "Kill... kill to silence them. This underground passage leads in all directions. Without us leading the way, you would never have found this place."
"How dare he?" Zuo Ling was shocked.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Just clean up the traces." The accompanying assistant collapsed on the ground and muttered:
"I guess the next step is to inject us with anesthetic gas and then throw us into the silver-gray beast herd, saying that we died in the silver-gray beast tide. Even if the rescue team arrives, they won't be able to find anything."
"He got out alive by himself? Even a fool would know there's something wrong!" Wang Zhiheng said angrily.
"Director Chen won't be alive either, at least not officially. He'll just leave here under a new guise and head to another place to continue his new mission."
As soon as the man finished speaking, there were sounds of disappointment from all four corners of the room, and everyone's face changed.
Xu Wei curled up in the corner. Sandra's face changed and she murmured, "Such a remote planet actually hides so many evil things."
…………
"What is he doing? Why doesn't he go in?" Li Ming carefully hid his body and hid at the edge, holding the telescope he had just found and observing Chen Songnan.
He followed the silver-gray beast closely, but was ignored by the silver-gray beast because of the bottle of unknown liquid.
When we arrived here, we saw Chen Songnan hanging on the stone wall with a steel pipe.
The silver-gray beasts below kept jumping and even stacking up, trying to reach Chen Songnan.
Li Ming guessed that the group of people must have used a special method to spread the pink liquid on several people, which led to these silver-gray beasts chasing them relentlessly.
"In that case..." Li Ming's heart moved slightly. He took out the pink liquid, carefully spread it, and then applied it to the sniper barrel.
"Even if it evaporates, it will still have some effect..." he muttered
"Roar!" The roar echoed in the empty cave, and a silver-gray beast nearly ten meters long turned around in front of the warehouse.
It couldn't break open the heavy alloy door. It stared at Chen Songnan with its eyes, gathered strength in its strong limbs, and then jumped up, opening its bloody mouth.
"Trouble..." Chen Songnan frowned, feeling indescribable irritation in his heart.
The silver-gray beast's riot was completely beyond his expectations. With his strength, it was not difficult for him to escape from here at first.
The reason he turned back was because he realized that if the members of the review team continued to escape, they might find this place.
If there is even one person left alive, it will be a huge trouble.
He could only ensure that all of these people were dealt with under his own guidance with minimal impact.
But it was impossible for him to stay here afterwards.
Thinking in his mind, he suddenly exerted force with his hands, and used the force to rush upwards for a distance, while the steel pipe in his other hand was forcefully inserted into the stone wall.
The silver-gray beasts, which were over ten meters long, had an energy level of around 30D and posed little threat to him, but he didn't want to fight with these beasts.
He believed that the inexplicable effect on his body could not last forever.
But at this moment, an inconspicuous gunshot rang out amidst the roar of the silver-gray beast.
when!
The next moment, his face suddenly changed. The steel pipe in his hand was broken and became shorter. He reacted very quickly and took over with his other hand.
But then there was another dazzling flash of light, and the other steel pipe broke. With nowhere to gain support in mid-air, he fell straight down.
Below was the silver-gray beast's bloody mouth!
The bloody mouth closed, and the huge silver-gray beast fell to the ground and shook its head.
Then, he coughed and spat out black smoke, opened his mouth wide, and a figure rushed out from it, with flames all over his body and an extremely ugly face.
He turned to look where the bullet came from.
Is there someone in secret?
Coming towards me? Qin Xiao!
He immediately locked onto Qin Xiao. Only Qin Xiao had the ability and capability to create this tide of beasts.
He's still not reconciled? No, that's not right. Isn't he afraid of accidentally killing someone on the review team?
Chen Songnan's mind was full of thoughts, but he had no time to think any more as he was surrounded by silver-grey beasts that were staring at him hungrily and coming towards him to bite him.
"court death!"
After being plotted against repeatedly, Chen Songnan was furious. He rolled up a flaming tornado several meters long and blew away the silver-gray beast that was charging towards him!
With a whistling sound, the thick and powerful tail smashed through the flaming tornado and directly flung Chen Songnan out.
Before he could adjust his posture, his shoulder suddenly tilted and a bullet embedded in his skin, with most of it sticking out. He rolled several times on the ground and then jumped up.
