61 -61: Cleansing the Fierce Tiger Gang!
The Horror of Yang Peng
âSomething wrong?â Li Ming deliberately lowered his voice, a small trick he had specifically learned online, now quite distinct from his usual tone.
Yao Guangâs scalp tingled, and a chill shot up his spine to his forehead.
He knew about the Scar-faced Tiger massacre, a horrific scene where all the underlings were killed, and blood flowed like rivers.
The main characteristic of the perpetrator was specially modified mechanical arms, and according to internal speculations from the city guards, the person was most likely an E-class life form.
An E-class life form, also a mechanical transformation, how could one fight that?
âWe are Bounty Hunters, checking to see if thereâs a way out of Silver Grey Star.â Peng Gang, standing behind Yao Guang, saw that Yao was blocking the door and not speaking, so he followed the plan and spoke up.
âOh, then come in,â Li Ming stepped aside, and at this moment, Yao cursed Peng Gang in his mind for his foolishness, as sweat beads rolled down his face.
Would we still have a way out if we really went in?
âForget it⊠I just remembered thereâs something I havenât finished, I wonât be leaving for now.â Yao Guang struggled to explain, âSorry for the trouble, weâll be leaving now.â
Having said that, he didnât dare to turn around and began to slowly back away.
Peng Gang didnât say a word this time, thinking Yao had suddenly changed the plan.
âWaitâŠâ Li Ming suddenly spoke, and Yaoâs face dramatically changed.
He subconsciously pulled out a metal folding knife with his left hand, unfolding it inch by inch, its cold light flickering, while his right hand held a pistol, his throat bobbing.
âGive me that thing on your face.â Li Ming pointed at his face.
âMimic Mask?
He noticed it?â Yaoâs heart thumped, not daring to let his guard down, quickly ripping the Mimic Mask from his face and tossing it to Li Ming.
Li Ming looked at the Mimic Mask, unsurprised.
He had already spotted the two of them while he had been surveilling the surroundings earlier.
It was just that he didnât expect that on making his move, Yao would show up at his door.
Bang!
The door closed, Yao pulled Peng Gang and quickly retreated to a safe distance, finally letting out a sigh of relief, feeling almost faint.
âLost the Mimic Mask, thereâll be a penaltyâŠâ Peng Gang lamented softly.
Looking at Pengâs seemingly simple face, Yao was infuriated, âPenalty my ass!â
âHey, hey⊠wait, what are you doing, you dare to hit me, just wait till I catch my breathâŠjust wait till I recover!â
âYou have no honor!â
âŠâŠ
âWith this thing, thereâs no need to constantly cover up with some shabby cloth.â Li Ming toyed with the Mimic Mask, deciding to upgrade it firstâ
[N-2 Advanced Optical Mimicry MaskâE-class: Made by mixing liquid colloids with various chemical materials.
Control Effect: Concealing Blessingâ60%
Control abilityâMimicry: More precisely adjusts facial data and simulates voice, making it less likely to be detected.]
Four hundred points of metal energy made the Mimic Mask even more exquisite, even capable of adjusting the voice.
Once placed into the Control Bar, it would be directly adjustable, but Li Ming did not want to occupy a slot for this, so he took out the Mimic Mask and stuck it onto his face, stepping over a body below his feet and rubbed it against the mirror to form the desired appearance.
âWhoâs nextâŠâ Li Ming accessed the Black Hole Network, looking for the reward postings of the Fierce Tiger Gang cadres.
âŠâŠ
In the outer city, on Red Street, not far from Scar-faced Tigerâs stronghold, in an old house, Ah Huâs body was lifted by mechanical arms, while Li Ming casually browsed his handheld terminal.
âWhatâŠ
what are you planning to do?â Ah Huâs body went numb, having just been electrified, leaving him with no strength to resist.
The Fierce Tiger Gang was after this man, as was Silver Grey City.
He thought this person would carefully hide, not daring such a blatant massacre.
âTell me about Tu Zheng.â Li Mingâs voice was deep, the light from his handheld terminal reflecting off his face.
He knew this guy was closely linked to Yang Peng, likely undercover, and also Tu Zhengâs adopted son, surely knowing quite a bit.
âYou intend to kill him?â
Li Ming remained noncommittal, if he had the chance, he would naturally like to try, âPeople like you, it can hardly be said that you have loyaltyâŠâ
Ahu remained silent, seemingly hesitating, pondering, yet ultimately spoke up, âTu Zheng, an E-grade life form, his gene seed has already been developed to 100%.â
â100%?â Li Ming paused slightly, the city defenseâs records showed only 60%, while he had estimated 90%.
âHis right arm has been transformed into an armed prosthetic, specially customized, and combined with the gene seed of the Blazing Alligator Dragon, his burst energy level surpasses 100E.â
âSkilled in close combat, always wearing the Tank Guard 211 Combat Armor, which can directly defend against RPG rockets, he hasnât left the headquarters in half a month.
Last time, a team of E-grade Bounty Hunters tried to assassinate him, and they were completely wiped out.â
Li Mingâs movements paused briefly, and his brows furrowed.
âŠâŠ
âHas Li Ming returned?â Yang Peng looked gloomy as he arrived on the 223rd floor and roused the resting Li Ning, who blinked sleepily, âTeam Yang?â
âI havenât seen Li Ming.â
âThis kid, still daring to run around!â Yang Peng was agitated with a mix of rage, having already contacted Li Ming yesterday, but he still wasnât showing up today.
The smart terminal couldnât reach him, as if he had disappeared completely.
If it wasnât for the bounty still being posted, Yang Peng would have thought Li Ming had been killed.
âContact colleagues from other teams, if they see Li Ming, tell him to come back immediately!â Yang Peng hurriedly left these words and prepared to leave.
Li Ning, who hadnât even finished yawning, hastily said, âTeam Yang, waitâŠâ
Li Ning quickly activated his smart terminal and said, âThe intelligence department reported that as of this morning, more than five executives of the Fierce Tiger Gang have died, almost wiped clean.â
âWhat!?â Yang Peng was shocked, snatched Li Ningâs smart terminal rapidly browsing through it, and saw the intelligence departmentâs screenshots showing the bounties of five individuals had been claimed.
The claimant was, indeedâSpecter!
âHim again!â Yang Pengâs face alternated between shock and anger, while Li Ning scratched his head and said, âI heard that the intelligence department exploded last night, everyone thought that Specter had left.â
âAlso, earlier, Yao Guang and Peng Gang encountered him, according to their exchange with the intelligence department, the person who killed Scar-faced Tiger is likely Specter.â
âWhat!?â Yang Pengâs pupils dilated, astounded that the two could be connected, even saying itâs the same person!
This raised a multitude of unanswered questions.
Li Ning added, âThe intelligence department speculates that Specter must have a vendetta against the Fierce Tiger Gang.â
âHe killed Feng Yue, why didnât he kill those two?
What exactly does he wantâŠâ Yang Pengâs forehead was locked in deep thought, unable to understand.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly opened his own smart terminal.
Li Ning glanced over, his eyes widened, and he whispered, âTeam Yang, youâre still in the department, are you browsing the Black Hole Network?â
Yang Peng could no longer care about anything else, he quickly scrolled through the bounties, and finally, he saw a familiar name, the bounty was still posted, and had not been claimedâhe let out a sigh of relief.
Ignoring Li Ning, he returned to his office and quickly contacted someone.
He couldnât stop tapping on the desktop, pacing back and forth, until the smart terminal connected, he immediately said, âThat Specter is cleaning up the people of the Fierce Tiger Gang, find a place to hide quickly, or letâs send you to prison first.â
The other party did not respond for a long time, and Yang Pengâs heart suddenly surged with a bad premonition as the silence dragged on, he tentatively asked, âSpecter?â
After a long time, a hoarse voice mixed with static came through.
âYang Peng?â
Yang Pengâs pupils contracted, his palms subconsciously clenched, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps, chilling to the bone.
How could he know my identity?
Did Ahu reveal me?
No, impossible, he would never betray me.
âWhereâs Ahu!â Yang Peng gritted his teeth, seemingly able to visualize on the other side, the chilling smile curving on the lips of the one known as Specter.
âBeep-beepââ
No further sound came through, Yang Peng slammed the metallic desk with a bang, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily.
