Chapter 80: Master of Firearms——[Bullet Sacrifice] Tu Zheng’s Lair
"E-level lifeform, woman, I can only think of one target." Li Ming said calmly: "Blood Rose?"
"I guessed someone might come to assassinate me, but I didn't expect it to be you. I've never dealt with you before."
"You've disrupted the ecology of Silver Ash City. None of us can survive. If we don't look for you, who else should we look for?" Blood Rose shouted coldly, and she rushed towards him like a phantom.
laugh!
A dull sound cut through the silent night. Li Ming stood still without moving, but Blood Rose's expression changed drastically. She slid sideways and narrowly avoided a sharp purple edge.
"Who!?" She looked gloomy.
The one who took action was naturally the lame man. The purple sickle on his back unfolded and danced with the wind. When he attacked, he was faster, more accurate, and more ruthless, and every move was deadly.
"Who are you?" Xue Qiangwei 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.
clang!
Flames were everywhere, and He Yu held the snake-shaped dagger in both hands. The dagger turned red in a few seconds and had a thermal 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, and a painful numbness swept through her body. She looked down and saw a tiny drill emerging from her chest. The combat suit that was strong enough to withstand kinetic bullets did not provide 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 along, what was the point?
"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 bother asking me to keep an eye on you?"
"It's better to be prepared, just in case a lot of people come." 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 one. She was charming and seductive, yet murderous.
"So you are the leader of the Rose Society..." Li Ming suddenly realized, "It's rumored that the leader of the Rose Society is the lover of a 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 help me collect the reward."
"You're too cautious."
"Who knows if she told others to assassinate me? If I accepted her reward, it would be too obvious."
The lame man also understood this logic, so 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 absorbing it, the two together can give him 2,000 points of metal energy.
Li Ming looked down at Blood Rose's body. "The leader of the Rose Society is here. Where are the Wild Dog Gang and the Fierce Tiger Gang?"
It's his turn to reap the leeks.
The lame man put away his sickle and asked, "Were you using any special training methods 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 soon leave.
The ministers that are missing from 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 temporary positions 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 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 good 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 could finish his words, a middle-aged man with a slightly balding head came trotting 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 with me?"
"I know this is against procedure, you..."
Many people have come over and seen that the guns in the training room are all registered, and a missing bullet is a big deal on a normal day.
"No problem, absolutely no problem." Director Zhang interrupted Li Ming and said, "When we're on field duty, it's very important to have a handy gun. You can take it. I'll handle the rest of the process."
"Okay." Li Ming shrugged and picked another one. "This one...is not bad either."
Director Zhang's expression changed, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Take them all away, take them all away."
He looked at Li Ming nervously as he looked around. Fortunately, he didn't say he wanted to take some away.
The people who had secretly watched looked at each other in silence.
Walking into the bathroom, Li Ming immediately took control of the two training guns. He was a [veteran].
Li Ming tried to upgrade one of them, spending 5550 points to upgrade it to D level and activate [Veteran].
His head 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 technical effects would undergo if he continued to improve.
Sure enough, a prompt popped up - [Gun control upgraded to master level, gained ability - Bullet Sacrifice, whether to permanently solidify it]
Li Ming carefully checked——
[Bullet Sacrifice: Every 24 hours, the first bullet fired will bless the abilities you control.]
?
Li Ming's pupils dilated slightly. Is this possible?
He could even bless bullets, and he instantly thought of many methods.
Although only one can be fired per day, it is enough to serve as a killer weapon.
What's more, he might have other special abilities in the future.
…
Five days later, the interstellar review team and the Blue Star accompanying personnel were leaving.
After the overall situation in Silver Ash City was completely stabilized, they took Qin Xiao and four other ministers back to the capital star, where they would be met with severe judgment.
Under the watchful eyes of several acting ministers, the interstellar spacecraft slowly rose into the air, its engine spewing out purple-blue flames several meters long, and a strong wind blew in their faces, and the spacecraft gradually disappeared from their sight.
Everyone had mixed emotions.
The Sixth Patrol Fleet will not leave immediately to help Silver Ash 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 important figures left, a heavy rain fell in Silver Ash City. The rain clouds covered a very wide area, mixed with black and brown dust, and flowed across the ground.
In the heavy rain, a burly man was naked, with raindrops 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've already met with that old dog. There's no problem."
"Okay!" Tu Zheng suddenly stood up. "Let's go and meet him. Chen Songnan has disappeared, 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 and had sinister eyes.
The two men looked at each other and were about to speak when they suddenly looked up and saw several beams 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 minds 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 more people cried 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, leaving them with no way 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 made them become like 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's eyes bloodshot.
"It was you!? You betrayed me!?" Tu Zheng roared, his eyes bloodshot. "Ever since you followed me, I've never treated you unfairly. I gave you the name Ah Hu and treated you like my own son, yet you actually betrayed me!!"
Ah Hu's expression was cold, and his usual respectful demeanor had 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 forgotten their names." Zeng Hao sneered.
"Lin Ke, please take the two of them back first. I'll finish it 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 clearing out the remaining minions in the cave, received a call from Lin Yaoxian. His voice was tearful and intermittent, and he trembled as he said, "Minister, Tu Zheng and Tie Gou were... killed!"
"What!?" Yang Peng's face suddenly darkened. "What's going on?"
Although he was promoted as an interim 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 a slight flicker in his eyes and his expression seemed to change.
"Minister Yang..." Lin Yaoxian's tone was full of helplessness: "We were intercepted halfway. The transport ship was suddenly interrupted, and we were forced to land."
"Who knew 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 immediately asked about the safety of others.
"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, "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 expression. The smart terminal in his hand showed the bounty column of the Black Hole Network. The bounties for Tu Zheng and Laotie Dog 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 like a thorn in his throat.
The main force of Blue Star had just left, and 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.
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 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 to be here.”
He put away his smart terminal, took control, and used the 360-degree surround view. Soon, he 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 Tu Zheng's secret castle, and there are many things hidden here in preparation for his comeback.
The metal door in front of him was corroded by rust, leaving a small hole. Li Ming walked down the stairs. The metal corridor was dark. Halfway down, 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 camera, 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 a day, no day to come out
