This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 55 - Farewell, Chief Feng Ke (Calling for book supporters!

“Gotcha, cutie…” His lips curled into a sneer as he pulled the trigger, Bang!

Flames erupted.

But immediately after, his eyes widened in disbelief.

In his line of sight, metal plaques appeared on the man’s forehead and then rapidly overlapped.

He seemed slow because of his dynamic vision, but in reality, he was extremely fast.

Bang!

Li Ming’s forehead jolted, then went numb, and the deformed bullet fell from his forehead to the ground, with smoke drifting up.

The next moment, an extremely long purple-black heavy sniper rifle materialized in his hands.

As he lifted the barrel, an electromagnetic armor-piercing bullet was already loaded smoothly into it.

Elevation angle, wind speed, initial velocity, bullet drift angle—he knew them all by heart.

Once this heavy sniper rifle was taken out, the assassination techniques that came with it vanished.

However, the “Gatling” gun control that came with it was still intermediate level, and this was the extent of his skills after playing with guns for over a decade.

He pulled the trigger!

Bang!

“That damn…” Rod’s pupils contracted as he watched the heavy sniper rifle suddenly appear in the other’s hand, with blue sparks bursting from the wound.

The speed of the electromagnetic armor-piercing bullet was beyond imagination.

He possessed formidable dynamic vision, but his bodily reactions couldn’t quite keep up, so all he could do was watch helplessly as the blue streak of light struck him.

Sizzla sizzla!

The energy barrier by his side shattered upon contact, Pfft!

The back of his head sprayed a mix of red and white, his eyes went blank, and he collapsed to the ground.

This sequence of actions flowed like water, causing Tas to sense something was amiss.

When he turned his head, Li Ming’s heavy sniper rifle had already vanished without a trace.

“You…

Rod, Rod!” Tas’s expression changed drastically.

How was this guy not dead yet?

“Shield activation device…” Li Ming observed the square shield enveloping Tas, sketched out by four circular metal plates.

“Rod, Rod, hurry up!” The square barrier in front of him gave him a sense of security as he called out over the channel.

However, his calls were swiftly cut short.

With a look of horror, he watched as mechanical arms bursting with electrical arcs extended from behind the other and rushed towards him!

Click!

The energy barrier was torn apart, and it even pierced through his body.

“Rod!

Tas!” Voices kept calling out in the channel, all harboring a bad feeling.

Soon, a voice came through the channel, unfamiliar to everyone, calm and indifferent, “On behalf of Chief Feng Yue, I send you greetings.

Are you ready to die here?”

Dead silence.

“Switch to the backup channel…”

After a voice suppressed with rage, Li Ming could hear no more.

The bulky communication device worn on the corpses’ heads was a big chunk, and that was why they could still communicate amidst electromagnetic interference—

[TX-2 Anti-interference Communicator—E: Capable of short-range communication under electromagnetic interference.

Control Conditions: 100 points of metal energy

Control Effect: Perception boost—20%

Control Ability—Mind Communication: Your voice can appear within the minds of life forms within a 10m range.]

[Mind Communication]?

Li Ming was taken aback; this seemed interesting and might come in handy.

He decided to take control of it then and there.

He picked up the sniper rifle on the ground—

[M-K Semi-automatic Sniper Rifle—E: A standard semi-automatic sniper rifle produced by Keswell Company.

Control Conditions: 400 points of metal energy

Control Effect: Gun control—Intermediate

Control Ability—Old Hand: Temporarily elevate gun control to advanced level.]

Pretty ordinary, so he absorbed it directly.

He didn’t linger there, but went up another level, grabbed a piece of torn cloth, covered himself with it, lay next to the window, and looked through the optical scope.

He began to search for the whereabouts of Chief Feng Ke.

…

Boom!

The explosion set off billowing smoke, and Feng Yue’s figure darted left and right on the streets.

“Where are the people below, why haven’t they arrived yet, are they all dead!?” he bellowed.

“Electromagnetic interference caused communication breakdown, and there are still a lot of Bounty Hunters muddying the waters on the outskirts, holding us back,” Qin Xiao said calmly.

Swoosh!

A rocket trailing flames hurtled towards him, and Chief Feng Ke’s face filled with terror, because it seemed to be heading straight for him.

“Why am I so unlucky!?” frustration fumed inside him.

“Boom!”

The rocket exploded midair, its shattered casing scattering like shooting stars.

“Our people have made a move.” Lin Yaoxian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, before Director Feng Ke could reveal a look of joy, a figure plummeted down from the lingering smoke!

The person was slender, with elongated cheeks, clad in a light red semi-metallic combat suit, wearing a pair of specially made gloves that were not entirely mechanical, with metal lines on them flickering in red.

“You must be Feng Yue.

I accept your greetings.

Are you ready?” His gaze was icy as he stared at Feng Yue.

He hadn’t planned on showing himself, but the other party had killed his men and taunted him over the channel.

If he didn’t act, it would be difficult to lead his team in the future.

“What do you mean?” Director Feng Ke didn’t understand; it seemed like the other party had targeted him specifically.

Isn’t this a group of Bounty Hunters?

Others also had bounties on their heads, so why was he the only one being targeted?

The person’s eyes were slightly cold, and in an instant, he lunged forward, red light swirling around him, and Qin Xiao’s figure also disappeared from his spot.

Boom!

Bursts of fire mixed with cold air erupted, tossing up waves of tidal fluctuations.

Qin Xiao clashed with the assailant in one strike and then they both retreated separately.

Feng Yue tried to flee in a pathetic state, shocked beyond belief—a Class D Life Form!

How could a Class D Life Form take action?

The combined bounties on the four of them only amounted to four million, which might not even cover the cost of this attack.

And what did the other party mean by greetings?

He was even more confused.

“The sniper has been taken care of…

Repeat, the sniper has been taken care of…” A calm female voice came through the channel.

Finally, Feng Yue let out a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall, coughing up blood, his body covered in injuries.

Qin Xiao and the suddenly appeared man were at a stalemate, but for the moment, neither made a move.

His face twitched.

It had been so many years, so many years since he had last been in such a wretched state.

And just recently, his son died a miserable death, and today he was beaten to this extent.

Grind bones to dust, grind bones to dust!

His gaze was cold as he stared intently at the other party.

What of a Class D Life Form—It wasn’t yet powerful enough to overturn everything.

And there was that Li Ming.

He should have been caught by now.

With this thought, his mood finally eased a bit.

……

Half a minute earlier, Zuo Ling carefully parted the bodies and then suddenly rolled forward, rushing through the door, holding a small bulletproof shield that perfectly covered her petite figure.

Her eyes were sharp as she drew a silver-white handgun, searching for the enemy, but then she revealed a look of astonishment—there was nothing here.

No…

not right, there’s blood…

The shield generating device over there had been smashed…

The sniper here has already been dealt with, she speculated.

Just then, crackling static followed by a babel of noise filled her ears, and she said in a stern voice, “The sniper has been taken care of…

Repeat, the sniper has been taken care of…”

Upstairs, Li Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the noisy sound in the headset, looked down at the floor, and fidgeted with the barrel in his hand.

The automatic sniper rifle had nearly absorbed all it could, garnering 322 points of metal energy.

Heavy, purple, slender bullets were pushed into the magazine, and through the scope, he had already locked onto Director Feng Ke, who was covered in wounds.

“Goodbye, Director Feng Ke.”

At the moment he pulled the trigger, there was no reaction, but then, his heavy sniper rifle started to vibrate violently and, immediately after–

Boom!

The deafening blast temporarily caused Li Ming’s ears to ring, and a nearly three-meter-long intense flame burst from the barrel, which turned red-hot in an instant, and the massive recoil struck against his shoulder.

At that moment, Li Ming finally understood why it was called the “Falling Star.”

The blinding brilliance streaked across the sky, like a meteor dropping in broad daylight.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three sounds, almost without any interval, echoed as the shell casings fell, bullets were propelled faster, and the spiraling projectiles tore through the air, leaving behind a series of air rings.

At nearly the same moment, Feng Yue inexplicably sensed an apocalyptic illusion, his heart filled with panic, his body trembling, searching for the source of this unease.

In an instant, a streak of light in the sky appeared in his vision, causing Feng Yue’s heart to constrict, his mind filled with shock, as he instinctively tried to move his head.

Move, move damn it!

Time seemed to slow at that moment, and despair engulfed Feng Yue’s heart, as his injuries and fatigue dragged him towards the abyss.

Qin Xiao, on the other hand, suddenly looked in the direction of the incoming bullet, his pupils reflecting that streak of light, his expression astonished.

Bang!

Feng Yue’s head burst open, and the ground behind him exploded as well, causing the electromagnetic rings to fiercely spread out, with arcs of electricity sparking around them.

The Director of Internal Affairs at the City Security Guard Law Enforcement Department—Feng Yue, dead!

Blood and brain matter sprayed out, and the rest, including Qin Xiao, first froze then their complexions drastically changed.

Rushing behind the nearest cover as fast as lightning, fear swept through them.

There was an even more formidable sniper lurking in the dark!

The slender man was also taken aback and asked over the channel, “Who made the move, Rod, Tas?”

No one responded to him.

“Boss, it seems someone took advantage of us,” a voice finally said after a while.

“Fuck!” he cursed, followed by his teammates urging him, “Boss, the electromagnetic interference has ended, the city guards are on their way, Sister Su has got the stuff, it’s time to retreat.”

…

“Upstairs!”

Hearing the loud explosion, Zuo Ling’s pupils contracted sharply, turning back abruptly, and rushing upstairs.

However, it was empty—no one was there.

That’s not right!

She suddenly turned, aiming her gun at the corner.

“Li Ming?” Her eyes flashed with surprise, seeing Li Ming laying there in the corner, bloodied all over.

“Zuo…

team…” Li Ming weakly pointed towards the shattered window, “He…”

Zuo Ling quickly rushed to the window, looking down, looking up, nothing was there.

“He’s gone.” Zuo Ling shook her head, then approached Li Ming to check his injuries, but suddenly froze in place, her expression one of utter shock, she exclaimed, “Director Feng Ke, is dead…”

“What!?” Li Ming’s voice pitched higher in disbelief and astonishment.
