76 -73: The Truth What is Star Creation Company really doing?
He dares to approach me?
Black Hawk didnât have time to think; this was his last chance.
Enduring the severe pain, he flipped onto his feet, his muscles and nerves twitching, his whole body bleeding.
His feet stamped the ground, the sound of wind whistling, and his still functioning right hand formed a claw, whipping up the air as it aimed for Li Mingâs head!
Li Ming could clearly see Black Hawkâs fierce expression, did not dodge or evade, but instead took a step forward.
Because Black Hawkâs attack was from above, Li Mingâs step caused Black Hawkâs target to change to Li Mingâs chest.
Clang!
Li Ming stood unmoved, the fierce expression on Black Hawk vanished, staring stunned at Li Mingâs chest, the intense pain in his fingers assaulting his nerves.
The uniform on Li Mingâs chest seemed to have been scorched with a large hole, covered in fine silver-gray armor that appeared to still be flowing.
His attack had no effect whatsoever.
Li Ming raised his hand, curling it into a fist, and smashed it down with tremendous force, breaking Black Hawkâs arm with a snap, the bones gruesomely exposed.
At that moment, the shock on his twisted face turned to disbelief.
An E-class life form!?
In that brief exchange, he had realized that Li Mingâs strength could not belong to an F-class life form.
He knelt on the ground, his features twisted to the extreme from the pain, his arms dangling, blood pooling underneath him.
âHaâŠ
ha, I didnât expect it, an E-class life form, this cunning, thatâs right, thatâs exactly it!â
His voice was hoarse, even somewhat crazed, âHow long have they secretly trained you, what do they want you to do, seek revenge?â
He seemed to have misunderstood something.
âI tell you, wishful thinking, a bunch of old dregs, they should have been buried long ago, still thinking of revenge, you will be discovered, you canât hide your identity!â
Hiss!
Blood sprayed as Black Hawkâs head rolled off, his eyes wide and angry, as if he still wanted to say something.
âSuch a chatterbox.â Li Ming shook his head, stepped forward to search Black Hawkâs headless body, pulling out a magnetic card with a screen, swiping left and right to reveal a virtual image of a spaceship.
âSpaceship key card?â There was a label, Li Ming recognized it; this group had their own spaceship, unlike the Bounty Hunters who could only stow away.
He pocketed it, planning to look for it after leaving the area.
Whether there were items hidden inside or not, the spaceship itself was valuable.
Besides this item, there were also two large-caliber handguns and the shoes worn by Black Hawk.
[Strong Energy Magnetic ShoesâE: Special shoes manufactured using electromagnetic traits.
Control Conditions: 300 points of metal energy.
Control Effect: Speed boostâ60%
Control AbilityâMagnetic Leap: Enables jumping 10-30 meters with strong magnetic charge.]
This was a supplement equipment, and Li Ming could now manage to jump up to 10 meters with an additional speed boost.
Li Ming immediately took control, switching his sniper riflescope for the magnetic shoes, and instantly his legs felt much lighter, as if unburdened from heavy irons.
With just a bit of effort, he sprang forth a distance.
At my current development progress of 4%, Iâm fast among E-class life forms, he pondered.
With legs slightly bent, he surged with power, and with a boom, like having thrusters attached, he leaped straight up into the upper channel.
Moments later, he cleaned up the scene, kicked the bodies off the cliff, the dwarf not holding an intelligent terminal, but a different device.
[Miniature Smart BrainâE: A professional computational support tool.
Control Conditions: 400 points of metal energy
Control Effect: Hacking SkillsâIntermediate
Control AbilityâCalculation Boost: Temporarily enhances hacking skills to advanced level.]
Having taken control of this too and carrying everything absorbable from these people, Li Ming estimated that after absorption, about three thousand points of metal energy would remain.
By killing this group, Li Ming had also eliminated a major threat.
Always having these people after him was quite unsettling.
As for the ashes behind them and even the threats from larger figures, he had already formed his ideas.
âThat matter still needs Uncle Lame, for now, I need to deal with this guy, Chen Songnan.â Li Mingâs eyes flashed with a cold light; the opponent was a D-class life form.
The power that had been displayed was astonishing, and Li Ming could only barely withstand a direct hit; fighting head-on was unrealistic.
ButâŠ
was the gap really not desperate?
Director Chen, are you ready?
Li Ming looked toward the narrow, dark passage.
âŠâŠ
A few minutes earlier, in the stone corridor, Chen Songnan kept striking the stone walls, the falling debris gradually burying the Silver Grey Beast that followed, and it seemed to have stopped moving.
The group finally breathed a sigh of relief, their pace slowing down, Wang Zhiheng repeatedly pressed, finally bursting out in anger, shouted, âChen Songnan, Iâm asking you, whereâs Li Ming?â
âHe?â Chen Songnan seemed to have just heard, turning around with a mournful tone, âHe covered our retreat, by now, he must have heroically sacrificed himself.â
Wang Zhihengâs face fell, he rushed to Chen Songnanâs side, his eyes nearly shooting flames, gritting his teeth, âYouâre talking nonsense, a D-class life form like you, would you need him to cover for you!?â
âCaptain Wang, what do you mean by that?
Are you suspecting me?
Please present some evidence!â Chen Songnan retorted coldly, his voice stern:
âHe died covering for me, aside from the compensation the city guard will give his family, I will also give a personal donation, as a token of my gratitude.â
Xu Wei coldly watched him, her intelligent device recording everything.
However, before they could rest for a moment, the surroundings began to shake again, cracks forming in the stone walls above, something seemed about to fall.
