This is not mechanical ascension.

After making sure there was nothing else in the room, he destroyed the hole made by the sniper rifle.

He went to the first floor and found the bullet embedded in the ground. It had already created a deep pit as big as a bowl. He took out the shrapnel in the center, held it in his hand and absorbed it, and gave more than ten points of metal energy.

With the added assassination technique, he further destroyed various other traces.

The mechanical arm holding Zhang Hu in his hand was obviously modified. There was an empty syringe inside, which should be some kind of injection drug used to stimulate gene mutation.

After carefully tracing back and making sure nothing was missed, Li Ming left through the window.

He found a remote abandoned building. With the faint moonlight, he looked at the safe in his hand. It was silver-white, extremely thick, and about half a meter high.

There were three unlocking methods on the LCD panel: fingerprint, pupil pattern, and gene.

"This kind of safe should have a self-sale setting. If the password is wrong, the contents will be destroyed." Li Ming estimated.

He didn't know the password, but that wasn't a problem. With his current absorption rate, it only took half an hour to rust the right edge of the safe.

Opening the cover, a faint purple light hit him.

"Amethyst?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and picked up a thin purple crystal. It was cold all over. This was an interstellar precious metal with a public price.

Per gram - 1,500 star coins.

There was a 10 mark on this small piece, which should be 10 grams. There were ten pieces on the first layer of the safe.

Added up to 150,000 star coins.

Li Ming's breathing became a little faster. The value of interstellar precious metals was strong. It was better to turn the money into interstellar precious metals than to deposit it in the black hole network and be cut off.

Zhang Hu rose only a few years ago, and he collected these properties. No wonder he was so famous.

Maybe he still had some balance in the black hole network, but the one-time instantaneous energy barrier was also expensive, and it couldn't be bought through regular channels, with a high premium.

After trying, Li Ming determined that these amethysts could still be absorbed by him and turned into metal energy.

"In this case, maybe there is no need to sell it."

He certainly cannot sell this thing through conventional channels, but only through the Black Hole Network, and the purchase price of the Black Hole Network is 40% lower than the market price.

Even if the market price is higher than the purchase price, the Black Hole Network is too shady.

Their logic is very simple. Since you have sold it through us, it must not be seen in the light, and they must make a lot of money.

Li Ming absorbed and summarized at the same time. The second layer of the safe contained a blue magnetic card and five tubes of F-level development potions.

He originally planned to borrow some more money from Li Ning to buy a few more tubes, but now he doesn't need it.

"This thing is..."

Li Ming picked it up and examined it carefully. There was no mark on this magnetic card. It should be used for verification in some places.

It can be carefully put away by Zhang Hu, so it should be useful. Let's put it away first.

Carrying the safe and the purple crystal inside, he stepped into the sewer. With his current strength, he carried these things and hurried on his way without any burden.

On the way, he could still absorb the safe, but when he got home, the safe had disappeared, the purple crystal was gone, and even the metal prosthesis disappeared.

"One purple crystal is about 160 points, ten is 1600 points, plus the absorption of the safe..."

Li Ming was dealing with his clothes while thinking that his metal energy, which had been dry, was refilled and even reached a new height.

1725 points.

Looking at this number, Li Ming was satisfied. The gene detection device could be upgraded, and the development speed could be improved to a higher level.

After checking, many things on his body could be upgraded, such as smart terminals and explosion-proof shields.

However, there was no urgent need at the moment, so there was no rush.

Glancing at the control bar, if he wanted to upgrade the four-arm tool machine again, he needed 5300 points, and the heavy sniper rifle reached an astonishing 8000 points.

...

It was still dark and the rain was gradually stopping. Li Ming wanted to take this time to rest, but he was woken up by Xiao Huang before he could even close his eyes.

It was Li Ning who came to the door and waited at the door with a hurried look. When he saw Li Ming coming out, he dragged him out.

"What's wrong? You're in such a hurry, I haven't washed up yet."

Li Ning was in a hurry: "Don't wash up, something big happened. Captain Yang was very angry when he couldn't contact you at four or five o'clock."

"I muted the phone. I usually mute it when I sleep." Li Ming explained. Li Ning was helpless: "Brother, we are city guards, how can we mute it."

The shuttle-shaped aircraft had already stopped outside. Li Ning pushed Li Ming up and started it quickly.

"No, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Li Ming asked puzzledly.

"Master, there's a big commotion outside, but you don't know anything." Li Ning was helpless and said in a deep voice: "Last night, Scarface Tiger's lair was destroyed, nearly 20 people died, including Scarface Tiger himself, it was so tragic."

"What?" Li Ming pretended to be surprised: "Who did it, so cruel."

"I want to know too, everyone wants to know, the one who did it must be a cruel person," Li Ning said.

Li Ning was obviously very anxious and pushed the speed to the fastest.

When landing, Li Ming saw that the old house had been surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and people were busy.

He saw many familiar faces, Yang Peng, Zhao Xiong, Wang Zhiheng, Zuo Ling... Four team leaders were there, and there were no less than a hundred people working on the scene.

Their arrival was quite conspicuous. Yang Peng came up, frowned, and said loudly: "No matter when in the future, I must be able to contact you!"

He scolded first, so that others could not get a handle.

"Understood." Li Ming nodded, and Yang Peng waved his hand, signaling them to clean up the scene.

"The hard drive has been soaked in water overnight and is basically completely damaged. It is unlikely to be repaired." Several technicians held the hard drive that was broken into two halves and shook their heads helplessly: "Repairing is useless. Turn it off first and then unplug it. As for being cautious to this extent..."

"The surveillance probe under the eaves, the circuit is damaged. This should be a test to see the reaction of this group of people. If it is too intense, he will not act rashly. He is very experienced." Wang Zhiheng rubbed his chin and speculated with a few people. , someone nearby sneered:

"A bunch of rabble-rousers probably thought that the damage to the surveillance probe was caused by rainy weather."

Corpses were being carried out one after another covered with white cloths. Colleagues from the on-site detection department were busy taking photos, while sighing: "Killed with one blow, fast and accurate... without any ability to resist, completely crushed."

Yang Peng stood at the stairs and looked up: "There are no traces of fighting on the first floor, nor on the second floor. He was very patient with Zhang Hu after he cleaned up the trash fish one by one."

"But something crashed down." Zuo Ling squatted in front of the big hole on the first floor and looked up at the big hole in the ceiling.

"There is a big hole in the chest, and the mechanical arm has been removed. It is similar to the death state of Pang Wenlong." Zhao Xiong walked down with a gloomy expression. "In addition, there are traces of genetic aberrations on Zhang Hu's body."

As soon as he said this, Wang Zhiheng, who was checking the body, Yang Peng, who was standing at the top of the stairs, and Zuo Ling, who was squatting on the ground, all looked at him at the same time.

"Can't even defeat genetic aberrations? E-level?" Wang Zhiheng was the first to speak, his expression solemn as never before.
