Chapter 74 Chen Songnan’s worldview was shattered. Thirty thousand points of metal energy!
The bullet did not cause much damage to him, but it caused him trouble at this critical moment.
A giant silver-gray beast rushed towards them. Chen Songnan's face was gloomy, the flame on his right fist rose high, and he suddenly punched the charging beast.
With a wail, the front half of the giant beast leaned to the left, but with its huge tail swinging like a whip, Chen Songnan was lashed out again, and a steady stream of silver-gray beasts swarmed over him.
Lying on the ground, looking at the silver-gray beast's thick thing, Chen Songnan gritted his teeth.
"Get out of here!" He shouted angrily, and with a raging flame, he soared into the sky, while looking in the general direction where the bullet came from.
The sniper in the dark wasn't a big threat to him, but it was really disgusting.
"Do you think I can do nothing if you hide in the dark?" Chen Songnan looked gloomy, but he didn't notice that the crazy silver-gray beasts around him were becoming more and more agitated.
roar!
The silver-gray beasts rushed forward one after another, while Chen Songnan seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.
"What's going on? These guys are getting more and more crazy." Chen Songnan was frightened. At first, these silver-gray beasts were afraid of the flames on his body.
After blowing away a large area, they would wait for a while before continuing to rush forward, but now they are fearless and unafraid of death.
A weaker silver-gray beast could be beaten into a pulp with just one punch, while a slightly stronger one could only withstand two or three punches at most, as the opponent's numbers were too large and there was no chance for him to breathe.
Puff!
The suit was torn, and the silver-gray beast's claws left a white mark on his skin, but it soon turned into a bloody mark, scraping away blood and causing it to flow.
"Those guys only used half the bottle. The remaining half is on you."
Each bullet was tainted with a special smell and remained in Chen Songnan's body.
However, the endurance of the D-level life form did frighten him, and this was because Chen Songnan was not fully armed.
No one could have predicted this sudden beast tide.
"roll!"
In the field, the silver-gray beasts came one after another, pressing Chen Songnan to the bottom like a pile of Arhats. Li Ming could even see their butts moving through the sight.
Accompanied by a loud shout, a column of blazing magma gushed out, and Chen Songnan rushed out again. His hair was burning, and the surface of his skin was covered with red cracks. It seemed that what was flowing in it was not blood, but magma.
boom!
The lava fire ring exploded, covering an area of ten meters and burning almost everything. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Songnan jumped up and finally escaped from this quagmire.
roar!
The silver-gray beast leader followed closely. Chen Songnan's face was ferocious. He clasped his hands together and a column of magma and fire gushed out, hitting the silver-gray beast leader's big mouth.
It let out a painful wail and fell to the ground, the madness in its eyes finally subsiding a little. Chen Songnan landed not far away and repeated the same trick to blast out a ring of lava fire again, and then rushed into the sky.
In the two takes off and landed, they had already approached the general direction from which the bullet came.
A figure rushed out from the shadows and ran towards the narrow passage at an extremely fast speed. Chen Songnan's anger had accumulated to the extreme at this moment. The only way now was to tear the person in the dark into pieces.
With black smoke swirling around his lips, he could tell that the other person's life level was far lower than his, and he would be able to catch up soon.
Falling into the cave passage, Chen Songnan smashed through the stone wall, and sand and stones flew behind him, temporarily sealing the cave entrance.
He breathed a sigh of relief, the flames on his body gradually died down, the cracks healed, and his steps staggered. It was obvious that this powerful move came at a high price.
His clothes were obviously specially made to withstand high temperatures, and were only slightly ragged at the moment.
But this miserable appearance made him extremely angry.
The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he quickly chased after him, but soon stopped because he sensed the other party's life breath, which was not far away.
Out of caution, he paused, his face icy cold, but his voice gentle, "I wonder which friend is determined to kill me, Chen Songnan."
"What's wrong with that? I can apologize in person." He walked slowly, and flames gradually appeared in his pupils, making the dim cave brighter.
Buzz!
Chen Songnan heard a strange sound, accompanied by a metallic smell, which made him more alert.
boom!
He lit a fireball in his hand and threw it forward suddenly. Under the light of the fire, he could see clearly, but at the same time, his scalp tingled and he looked horrified.
It was a heavy machine gun, its multiple barrels already spinning. Just as the fireball approached, bang! bang! bang!
A torrent of metal erupted in the cave passage, shredding the fireball and heading straight for Chen Songnan!
At such a close distance, he had very little time to dodge, but he was a D-class life form after all, so he barely moved his body.
He felt a continuous stabbing pain on half of his body. At his level, ordinary pistols, submachine guns, and sniper rifles with insufficient power could hardly pose a threat to him.
But the current body cannot stop this torrent of bullets.
If he was fully armed, it would still be possible, but now, not only is he no longer at his peak, but he is also seriously injured.
How come there is a heavy machine gun in this cave? Was it moved there by manpower?
He couldn't believe it, but in a split second, he thought of his only way to survive, which was to kill!
In that fleeting glimpse, he didn't see who was holding the gun, but he also didn't see the long, thick bullet belt.
The ammunition consumption of this heavy machine gun is terrifying and it will probably run out soon.
He tried his best to dodge and move around, while constantly getting closer and closer, waiting for the moment when his bullets would run out.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, the heavy machine guns fired without stopping, and the stone wall was full of bullet holes.
Chen Songnan was full of hope at the beginning, but gradually became shrouded in despair, and his speed became slower and slower.
Using his core abilities to escape from the quagmire of the silver-gray beast had almost exhausted him, and the breath he had forced himself to take in to avoid the bullets was almost gone.
"No, I will never and cannot die here!" His eyes were full of madness. Chen Songnan took his last breath, put his hands in front of his eyes, and looked through the gaps between his fingers.
He vaguely saw the figure operating the machine gun!
"Go to hell!" His body burst into flames again as he breathed his last.
But his target was not the man, but the machine gun!
However, something happened that Chen Songnan could not understand. When he rushed forward with his last bit of strength, the huge machine gun disappeared before his eyes.
What! ?
He looked stunned, as if he had punched cotton, and he coughed up blood in pain.
As the heavy machine gun disappeared, he saw the man operating the machine gun tower, and the astonishment in his eyes turned into unspeakable horror.
"Li Ming!" He was utterly horrified and incredulous. He raised his head with the intention of raising it high. The turbulent waves of fear in his heart even made him forget the pain. "How could it be you!"
This person was still alive after being hit by me. Not only was he still alive, but he also set up such a trap to kill me.
Li Ming grinned, retreated a distance, and then raised his hand, and the machine gun tower reappeared.
This time, almost all the bullets were poured into the exhausted Chen Songnan, with dozens of bullets hitting him every second.
In an instant, his left arm and half of his calf were rotten beyond recognition. His chest and abdomen were filled with densely packed bullets. Blood was oozing out from the cracks, and he looked extremely terrifying.
How... could this happen? Chen Songnan lay on the ground, his heart pounding. Even though it was only a short four minutes, at least ten thousand bullets were fired.
Where did he get the bullets? Why didn't he see it? Why did the machine gun disappear and reappear? Why was he still alive?
All the questions came along with the darkness before my eyes.
The machine gun stopped working, smoke was coming out of the red barrel, and Chen Songnan's cheek was shot.
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, "D-level life forms are really hard to kill. If you hold on a little longer, I'll be the one to die."
The storm of bullets from the heavy machine gun consumed all his physical strength, and even with the explosion-proof shield adding 100% of his physical strength, he couldn't withstand it for long.
In another minute or perhaps tens of seconds, this heavy machine gun would suck him dry.
When facing D-level life forms, Li Ming didn't dare to leave any alive and shot them to death directly.
Rummaging through the corpse that had almost turned into mud, Li Ming pinched out a metal pillar as thick as his index finger.
"Qin Xiao's USB flash drive? He actually carries it with him." Li Ming was quite surprised and put it in his pocket.
They pulled his body and threw it into the group of silver-gray beasts, and the violent silver-gray beasts immediately tore it into pieces.
A large number of silver-gray beasts were still gathered in front of the warehouse. Li Ming used the effect of the green reagent to carefully approach the warehouse and then smeared it on the warehouse door.
Suddenly, those violent silver-gray beasts seemed to have lost their target, staring at each other, and soon they scattered away.
"I have to make myself miserable..." Li Ming wiped some beast blood from the ground, found the remains of the silver-gray beast, and used its claws to tear holes in its body...
…
At the same time, in the warehouse, Zuo Ling looked at Wang Zhiheng in astonishment, "What do you mean by asking me to chop you with a knife?"
Wang Zhiheng held a dagger in his hand, his expression anxious. "Wounds! Wounds! Wounds that are torn are definitely different from wounds that are cut with a knife. If the people who collect the bodies for us find anything wrong, they will definitely investigate thoroughly."
"Idiot!" Zuo Ling cursed, "By then, you'll have been almost completely digested by the Silver-Gray Beast. It won't matter if you're injured or not."
"There must be some trace left. You can't just die silently!" Wang Zhiheng gritted his teeth, his head felt dizzy, and the effect of the anesthesia had begun to show.
"It's useless to do anything. Director Chen will definitely handle the aftermath meticulously and won't leave any clues." Several accompanying assistants were filled with despair.
Xu Wei sighed, "Unfortunately, there are still many things I want to do that I haven't been able to complete."
Speaking of this, Li Ming's face appeared in front of her eyes again. What a good person, but he died in conspiracy and darkness.
Wang Zhiheng's anger also deflated. He shook his head in frustration and smiled bitterly: "Alas, my father is going to send his son off."
"What a pity! I'm not married yet. Our Wang family is going to be extinct..."
"Don't worry, Wang Ke can still have children." Zuo Ling comforted.
"That's right..." Wang Zhiheng was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly. "This mission is really a big loss. Zhao Xiong is not likable, so he disappeared. Li Ming is so young, but he also died here. He originally had a bright future..."
Perhaps because of the anesthetic, he felt dizzy and several people with poor physical fitness had already fallen down.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him, pulling him down from the sky.
Finally, he saw that Zuo Ling, who looked listless, suddenly widened his eyes and his breathing became more rapid. He was just about to remind her to breathe slower.
Xu Wei in the corner also stood up suddenly, almost falling down, with an excited look on his face.
The other awake people were stunned where they were.
Wang Zhiheng turned his head and his breathing stopped. He saw a hole at the bottom of the heavy alloy door.
The rumbling sound just now was the sound of the alloy block hitting the floor.
In the dim light, a man stood at the entrance of the cave. He was covered in blood and had marks of tearing all over his body. He seemed to be extremely exhausted, but still holding on.
"Li Ming!?" Wang Zhiheng screamed. The huge surprise in his heart prompted him to rush forward, but he stumbled and fell to the floor. He felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
Xu Wei held on to her body, and out of her reporter's instinct, she opened her smart terminal, took this photo, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Everyone fell down?" Li Ming was a little confused. Looking at the people falling here and there, he put away his pose, hesitated for a moment, and did not go in immediately.
He guessed that there must be something inside.
Then he noticed the metal boxes neatly stacked together in the warehouse.
"What is that thing?" Li Ming instantly became interested. He looked inside and found a probe that was continuously spewing gas.
Holding his breath, he walked in carefully and looked at the metal box that had been broken open before, in which the brilliant ore was shining.
"This thing shouldn't be silver-ash ore, right? Is Xingchuang Company secretly collecting another kind of ore?" Li Ming pondered, and then estimated the speed, his eyes shining.
"The absorption rate is comparable to that of zirconium crystal alloy. These in front of us are probably no less than 30 tons." Li Ming breathed rapidly.
He glanced at the nozzle that was continuously spraying anesthetic gas, then at the people lying on the ground, and carefully moved the metal boxes out one by one.
Don't rush to wake everyone up, but start absorbing these refined ores
………
"Fuck!" Wang Zhiheng suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked around vigilantly, but saw that everyone around him was looking at him as if he was an idiot.
"All the data is normal. It's just a deviation in environmental perception. It just needs to be corrected." The medical staff walked away from him.
Looking around, I saw people wearing city guard uniforms cleaning up the scene. A large number of body parts and corpses were piled up like a mountain.
He was a little confused at first, but soon remembered what was going on. He looked around and locked onto Li Ming who was communicating with his father and Lin Yaoxian.
"I didn't expect that Xingchuang Company was so secretive. I don't know how much minerals they have secretly mined and how much interest they have earned." Lin Yaoxian was furious and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
They knew more or less about the other activities of Xingchuang Company, but they knew nothing about the other kind of mineral that was secretly collected here.
"You really didn't see Chen Songnan?" Section Chief Wang asked Li Ming with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"No." Li Ming shook his head. "When I got here, only a few silver-gray beasts were left. As for Director Chen, I certainly didn't see him."
The two asked some irrelevant questions, most of which he had already told the analysts on site.
Section Chief Wang glanced at his son who was scratching his head nearby, patted Li Ming on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "No matter what, I have to thank you."
“This is what I should do.”
The two of them went to investigate elsewhere, and Wang Zhiheng couldn't wait to hug him, "Haha, brother, you are my real brother, from now on your business is my business!"
"Hiss-" Li Ming gasped, and Wang Zhiheng hurriedly let go. "Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Li Ming shook his head and forced a pale smile: "It's just a small problem."
Sandra looked at the empty metal boxes and asked hesitantly, "Are they all empty?"
"Yes, they are all empty. Only this box contains ore." The logistics member explained patiently.
Sandra was puzzled. "How could this be? I thought these boxes were all filled with that kind of ore."
Xu Wei took a photo and said, "I think this is normal. They knew we were coming, so they should have dealt with most of the things. This box might have been missed."
"It just happened to be the box we opened?" Sandra didn't believe it. Xu Wei shrugged, "Only movies need logic, not reality."
…
36434
The balance of metal energy reached a new height. Li Ming looked at it many times and felt fulfilled both physically and mentally.
I don’t know how Uncle Lame is doing, and whether he managed to steal that thing.
Li Ming thought that the metal energy was enough and he was just waiting for news from Uncle Lame.
If the plan goes smoothly, with the help of Professor Wu, the subsequent troubles will naturally be solved.
Just as he was lost in thought, the light in front of him seemed to be blocked. He looked up and saw Xu Wei standing in front of him, holding up a smart terminal. He asked, "Are you interested in an interview with me?"
"Interview?" Li Ming was slightly stunned.
"Yeah." Xu Wei nodded, a look of shock on his face. "Those rioting silver-gray beasts were so terrifying. I don't know what kind of belief supported you to save us. Can you tell me?"
"It's my duty and I have no choice but to do it." Li Ming said after thinking for a while.
Xu Wei looked at him, dust on the tip of her nose, and smiled inexplicably. She turned around, moved the folding stool over, sat opposite Li Ming, and recorded on the smart terminal -
"I...I don't know either. I only know that there's no word like retreat in the City Guard's doctrine. I only know that someone needs me to save them."
Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Wei raised his head and asked again, "Are you not afraid of death during this process? After all, you are only eighteen years old and still have a lot of life ahead of you."
"Don't be afraid." Li Ming shook his head.
"Of course I'm afraid. Even if it's scary, I have to go. The duty entrusted to me by the City Guard is to protect innocent citizens, regardless of whether it means sacrificing my life or not. My parents are gone, and this responsibility is what keeps me alive."
Well, it is necessary to be close to the mentality of ordinary people in order to resonate more. Xu Wei chuckled and looked up again, only to find that Li Ming was looking at him with an unspeakable emotion in his eyes.
Xu Wei asked a few more questions, and Li Ming's eyes became more complicated.
Finally, she posted a photo showing the scene of Li Ming breaking open the alloy door. He looked like a savior in the darkness, but it was obviously photoshopped.
The title has only four words - "Lone Hero"
"What a talent." Li Ming sighed inwardly.
"This report will not be released in the short term. It's not popular enough and needs to be coordinated with certain related events." Xu Wei whispered.
"As you wish." Li Ming didn't care much.
Xu Wei continued to fill in the scraps of this report and interviewed other people.
Not long after, Lin Yaoxian sent someone to find him. In the command post temporarily built with a tent, Qin Xiao's virtual projection was lifelike.
Li Ming put on his headphones and heard Qin Xiao ask impatiently, "Did Chen Songnan really disappear? Or is he dead?"
A general report on the scene has been submitted, but Qin Xiao knows that the official report is too exaggerated. He wants to get the most realistic situation from Li Ming, an eyewitness.
"I can't be sure of the details. Chen Songnan tried to kill me on the way. When I rushed here, I didn't see him." Li Ming shook his head.
"Not sure..." Qin Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't want to get such an answer, but thinking of Li Ming's strength, he was beyond his expectation that he could survive at the hands of Chen Songnan.
Qin Xiao speculated: "Xingchuang Company is secretly mining underground and illegally extracting geothermal energy."
"This incident exposed them suddenly. Chen Songnan must have wanted to kill everyone who knew about it, but for some reason something unexpected happened. This accident must not be a good thing for Chen Songnan."
Then, he suddenly said, "This is a good opportunity. I'll give you free rein. Now is the time to return to the Xingchuang branch and find what you were looking for."
Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly. He was just wanting this authority. As an eyewitness to this incident, he was temporarily trapped here and could not go anywhere.
But it was no use keeping the USB drive on him all the time, and he also wanted to go look for that group of people's spaceship.
"The future of Silver-Ash Star depends on you." Qin Xiao was full of hope, and there were even tears in his eyes.
"I understand." Li Ming looked serious.
With Qin Xiao's instructions, Li Ming left here directly amid the puzzled gazes of others. Along the way, there were city guards guarding every three or five steps.
I'm afraid that more than half of the city guards in Silver Ash City have been transferred here.
After leaving the mine, it was already mid-afternoon, the wind was howling, and the sky was overcast.
Li Ming narrowed his eyes and walked a little further before taking out the spaceship card and heading deeper according to the navigation on it.
As he was completely away from this area, his speed became faster and faster. When night was about to fall, he finally found the spaceship.
It is located in a desert, covered with a refractive cloth. When viewed from a distance, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.
After carefully exploring the surroundings and making sure there were no traps, Li Ming lifted the cloth, raising a cloud of dust.
A gray gull-wing spacecraft appeared in front of him. At first glance, it did not look stunning, but rather a bit mottled. The edges of some rivets and screws had turned yellow, and there were traces of repairs left.
"The Tagore V-type civilian-grade spacecraft has no weapons and equipment, only short-distance jump capabilities, and can navigate within the galaxy without any problems." Li Ning found the approximate data of this spacecraft on the Star Network based on its appearance.
The official price is three million star coins, which is a relatively low-end spacecraft.
"I don't know what price it can be sold for second-hand." Li Ming took out the spaceship card, and the hatch slowly fell down. The sound of pneumatic pressure relief was very clear.
