This is not mechanical ascension.

Four million? Sure enough, it was a regular main ship. Li Ming had retracted into the shadow of the mustache using the ability of [Shadow Sting].

Although he was jealous, he couldn't take it for the time being.

Taking this one would obviously put the Torch Organization on high alert, which would be detrimental to subsequent actions.

After coming out, the mustache seemed very dissatisfied and found the staff in charge of transportation, "Why is there only one? Didn't we buy three at the beginning?"

"They said that the situation is too tense recently, and it will take some time for the remaining two."

"There are actually two more?" Li Ming's heart was even more heated. Fortunately, he didn't take it, otherwise it would be more troublesome to take two later.

"How long will it take?" the mustache asked.

"More than a month." The other party responded.

"No, hurry up and urge it, otherwise return it." The mustache said coldly,

Then he went to check other goods and found that not only the main ship's gun barrel, but also many other things were missing a part, which made him even more dissatisfied.

About two hours later, his smart terminal lit up, he looked down, the anxious look on his face suddenly subsided, and he went to the small conference room with other staff members.

"Minister Peel..." Someone was already waiting in the conference room. After the mustache came in, he greeted the other party respectfully.

The other party was not human. He was two meters tall, had four eyes, and a slender head. After everyone arrived, he said:

"This batch of goods has been counted almost. Next, you need to keep a close eye on it and install all the parts in place, so that those empty shells can become warships that can really influence the battlefield."

"Yes!" Everyone in the conference room nodded resolutely.

Next, the minister emphasized a lot of precautions. When he was in high spirits, he couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in the conference room.

After talking for half an hour, there was still no sign of stopping. The key is that the other members still looked very interested.

Until his smart terminal rang, Pierre looked down, his face changed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go, there are still some goods on the way, I will rush as soon as possible."

As soon as the voice fell, Pierre had already pushed the door and left in a hurry. Li Ming had already stayed in the other party's shadow, mumbling to himself, "It seems to be heading towards the core area?"

...

At the same time, in the hall of the alert area, Brot looked at Sandro with suspicion, and then looked down at the various metal materials in the box.

I just heard Sandro continue to say, "You need to spend at least 500 million to buy these metal materials on the Black Shield network. Even if you collect them yourself, not counting the time and energy, it will cost more than 300 million star coins."

"I'll collect them for you, 300 million star coins, what do you think?"

"300 million?" Brot frowned, "Do you think I don't know anything? These things are at most 300 million star coins."

"Good eyesight." Sandro praised, "You are worthy of being the senior brother of the great mechanic Deyes, how about this, 250 million."

"So generous?" Brot looked Sandro up and down, "We can't trade here."

"What's the big deal? Just go to Connet and let him witness it. A small window will be opened temporarily for us to complete the transaction. There won't be any problems." Sandro didn't care.

"Well... 200 million." Brot pondered for a moment, and suddenly cut another 50 million.

"You..." Sandro gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "Then it's 200 million."

"You can accept 200 million? There won't be any problem with this metal material, right?" Brot was not excited, but more suspicious.

Sandro was immediately dissatisfied and shouted: "What are you talking about? This is what Blerim collected. It was originally intended to make A-level weapons. The great mechanic Qinglong has certified it. There is absolutely no problem. If his price was not too low, I would sell it to him."

Then, he whispered: "The main thing is that I don't have any use for this thing. You have such a good relationship with Deyes, why don't you let him make a weapon for you? Ulrich still has a part, 220 million, how about selling it all to you."

The reason seems reasonable. Deyes picked up a heavy piece of blue alloy, which sounded pretty good.

Collecting this kind of material is indeed time-consuming and laborious, otherwise you can only go to the black hole network and buy it at a very high price.

It was good to get this bargain. Brot's face eased. "The herder-Brelim is also famous. I didn't expect that he would die in the hands of you guys."

Sandro laughed, "It's nothing. It didn't take much effort."

"Wait here for a while, brother. I'll go find Ulrich and get his share. Then we'll go find Connet and let him connect to the Internet."

Sandro couldn't wait. These things really made him anxious. It would be less troublesome to deal with them as soon as possible.

...

On the other side, Li Ming had verified his guess.

Pierre walked through several corridors, got on the elevator, and arrived at the core area of ​​the base.

After walking out of the elevator door, there was a black metal door at the end of the corridor. Pierre stopped, tidied his clothes, and then walked forward.

After the door opened, it was Connet standing in the middle of the room.

"Chief, you are looking for me?" Pierre's attitude was very respectful.

Cornette looked back, and for a moment, he had a strange feeling, a vague sense of being spied on, but he didn't know where it came from, but it disappeared the next moment.

Still unable to hide directly in the shadow of the A-level life form, Li Ming tried briefly and then shrank back.

Connit carefully sensed that it seemed to be an illusion. He glanced at Pierre who had lowered his head, frowned slightly, and said gently: "Sit down."

Pierre sat down slightly stiffly. Connit looked him up and down, shook his head secretly, and asked directly: "Pierre, I ask you, do you have a way to bypass the blockade of the base and communicate with the outside world?"

Hearing this, Pierre, who was originally just reserved, suddenly changed his face and stood up hurriedly, "Leader, I am loyal to the organization and have absolutely no second thoughts."

"I am not doubting you." Connit was a little helpless and emphasized: "I am just asking, do you have this ability?"

Confirming that Connit did not doubt him, Pierre sat down slowly, took a long breath, and thought: "Leader, the blockade of our base is not a filtering blockade, but a complete isolation, and there is no way to communicate with the outside world at all."

"Logically speaking, it is impossible to cross this blockade."

"Can't the big mechanic?" Connit asked.

Connit really suspected Deyes, but he didn't seem to be sure, so he was looking for evidence

Well... I can't show that I can definitely make a Tanlomon bio-sublimator, so Deyes still has value, and we can't just tear each other apart.

Pierre shook his head, "It's not a technical problem, it's impossible to do it at the physical level. Our base is like an isolated island. There is no ship to contact the outside world, and it's impossible to escape."

"Is it impossible?" Connet roughly understood and frowned slightly.

"But..." Pierre seemed to think of something again. Noticing Connet's eyes, he hurriedly said: "Our base is not a completely isolated island. There are only a limited number of lines for external communication."

He explained: "If data is attached through these lines, there is indeed a very small possibility of external communication."

It's complicated to say, Connet listened to Pierre's explanation for a long time before he figured it out.

"In other words, there is still a possibility of external communication." Connet frowned and was a little dissatisfied. After talking so much back and forth, wouldn't it be enough to just say the final conclusion directly?

Pierre explained in a low voice: "This kind of external communication is extremely difficult, and it requires..."

"Okay, I understand." Cornett waved his hand expressionlessly, stopping Pierre from giving a long explanation of professional terms.

"I just need you to tell me whether this kind of external communication can be detected."

"It's difficult..." Pierre shook his head helplessly, "Your communication lines are completely isolated from the outside, and the information department is almost the same. They hardly have any contact with the internal network."

"If you want to go through these lines, you must penetrate the internal network..."

He stopped halfway because Cornett raised his hand again.

"I understand." Cornett gestured for Pierre to leave expressionlessly, and Pierre stood up awkwardly.

He wiped his sweat hastily after leaving the door, and stood in front of the elevator, feeling a little weak in his heart.

The elevator door opened, and he was about to go in, but when he saw the shadow coming towards him, Pierre looked up and was shocked: "Lord Ted."

The life form named Ted was burly, wearing heavy combat armor, with indigo cheeks and sharp edges, as if cut by a knife or an axe. He just nodded indifferently when he heard the words.

Pierre turned aside and waited for the other party to leave before entering the elevator.

Compared to Pierre, Ted's attitude towards Connet was much calmer. He just nodded slightly, "Leader..."

"Ted," Connet nodded, "Go to the warehouse, get a piece of dimensional crystal and related materials, sacrifice Balzac, and temporarily defend the main base."

"Warehouse? Dimensional crystal?"

Li Ming, who had been hiding in Ted's shadow, was in turmoil.

"Balzac?" Ted seemed a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is someone going to attack the base?"

"No." Cornett shook his head: "Something unexpected happened. A man named Dark Night got my contact information from somewhere and asked about the location of the base directly, preparing to come to find Qinglong."

"Huh?"

Li Ming had been guessing about the situation in the warehouse, but suddenly heard the information about himself and was stunned.

Dark Night? Who is he? I don't think I've heard of him. Why are you looking for me?

"Looking for Qinglong?" Ted was surprised, "Is he his enemy or friend?"

"It's hard to say." Cornett rubbed his brows, seeming to be very tricky, "According to the information I know, this Dark Night is the one who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya."

"What?" Ted was stunned.

Li Ming was also shocked. The super assassin who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya?

Why are you looking for me? Could it be that someone hired him to assassinate me?

Li Ming subconsciously speculated, and suddenly a sense of crisis rose. Grand Duke Gu Ya was killed and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, let alone himself.

Why did this fierce man suddenly set his sights on him?

"It's him." Connet was helpless. "I asked him indirectly, but he only said one thing: give me the coordinates. Don't worry, he has no other intentions."

This Dark Night seemed to not take him seriously at all. It was too simple. Their main base has been hidden for so long, can they tell others at will?

Even if the other party is a strong man who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya, he can't easily believe him, but he has a hunch that the other party may have other ways to find him, so he has to be on guard.

"What is the origin of this Qinglong that has provoked such a person." Ted was also secretly shocked.

"I don't know. Deyes said before that he might cause too much trouble. I thought he was exaggerating. As a result, he just arrived here and attracted such a powerful life form." Connet sighed,

"I just hope he can create a sublimator as soon as possible."

"I understand." Ted looked solemn, turned around and left without saying much.

"An Ye..." Li Ming's heart was solemn. Being targeted by such a super assassin for no reason, no one would be in a good mood.

But he thought about it, and besides the Etlan civilization, he didn't offend any big shots?

This dark night was definitely not hired by Etlan or the Star Abyss Empire. After all, the other party had just assassinated Archduke Guya.

Who is that?

This time, he really didn't even suspect the target.

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

After getting off the elevator, Ted walked resolutely deeper into the base. After verification, he stopped in front of a metal gate wrapped in a purple energy film.

"Sir Ted." The soldier in charge of the guard nodded and verified again.

After making sure everything was okay, the door with a thick purple energy film slowly opened, and Ted was planning to step in as usual.

But this time, for some reason, he encountered an unprecedented resistance. The purple energy membrane made waves, like waves gathering, and then rebounded with huge force, throwing him away directly.

Bang!

He hit the metal wall and fell to the ground again. The pain in his body was not as good as the confusion in his heart.

"How could this happen?" Ted looked puzzled.

The soldier in charge of the guard looked unkind, "Sir Ted, the leader has strict orders. Only one person can enter at a time."

"I'm just one person." Ted frowned, looked around, and walked forward again.

The soldier wanted to stop him, but when he looked at Ted who looked unhappy, he still stopped.

This time, the purple energy film didn't react at all, and Ted stepped directly into it.

Stopping behind the energy membrane, he turned back in confusion.

Not knowing what just happened, he shook his head and went deeper.

The guarding soldiers looked at each other and didn't know how to explain.

Li Ming was secretly surprised in the shadow of one of the soldiers.

This purple energy film can actually detect his presence, and it looks like the power of some kind of dimensional creature.

"You have to be more careful in the future. The power of dimensional creatures is so unpredictable that it cannot be compared with the ordinary detection equipment of the Torch Organization."

Li Ming reminded himself and looked at the purple energy film again, feeling a little hot in his heart. He didn't know how many dimensional crystals there were in it.
