Chapter 299: Chapter 164: Goods Acquired

Atom’s words resonated with the crowd, and the channel immediately filled with noise and ceaseless cursing.

No one cared that Lu Bi had lost family, they were only concerned about whether they could get a share of the money in the end.

Before discovering that batch of goods, there was no point in fighting with the Sela people and no motivation to do so.

"Yes...yes, I understand," Ya Ro imitated Lu Bi’s tone, and even though his voice was slightly different, it was still normal after a battle.

"Get your ass back here!" Atom barked, and then there was silence, the channel burst into laughter.

Ya Ro let out a sigh of relief, still somewhat unable to react to the situation.

One could say that ever since Li Ming came aboard, he had been pushed along by the other, including everything that had just happened, with no time to think it through.

Glancing at the bodies scattered on the ground, he felt even more horrified, knowing Li Ming’s strength was beyond any evolutionary level he knew.

But he hadn’t expected the other’s strength to be so formidable; Lu Bi, Lu Ka, they hadn’t lasted a moment against him.

Moreover, Li Ming’s actions, although seemingly reckless, were calculated, and he had already thought of a solution for afterward.

Monster, truly a monster, he muttered to himself in awe, and as he looked at Li Ming, he saw the latter had already begun dealing with the bodies in an experienced manner, not even blinking, as if he was long accustomed to it.

Logically, Li Ming’s record might include time spent working as a city guard, but with not many major operations under his belt, this level of desensitization to corpses seemed too familiar.

But this was no longer surprising to Ya Ro, who immediately joined in the task of dealing with the bodies.

After a quick cleanup, erasing any potentially recognizable traces, he and Ya Ro continued on toward their destination.

The deep black land stretched to the limits of vision, the sky overhead was a murky grey, and the thin atmosphere allowed all kinds of cosmic radiation to ravage the surface.

Waves of acrid winds slapped against their faces, carrying countless grains of sand, the immense force of the wind pulling at everything on the surface.

If one were to look down from outer space, they could see that they were heading into the center of a massive storm cyclone, black Thunder spreading along with the storm.

The deeper they went, the more the storm raged, communication devices became inoperable due to interference, visibility was even lower, and they could only rely on instinct to discern the direction.

"Wait a second, let me think where the position is..." Ya Ro shouted, sand filling his mouth, "Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Upon entering this region, the navigator also became useless, direction completely lost; he had stopped several times already.

"Follow me, I know where the canyon is," Li Ming shook his head, his speed not decreasing at all, fortunately Ya Ro’s general direction wasn’t wrong.

The canyon was already within the range of Intelligent Assistance’s perception.

"You know?" Ya Ro was puzzled, but he didn’t question further, and hurried to keep up.

After another fifteen minutes, they indeed saw a vast, endless black canyon.

"It’s this canyon!" Ya Ro exclaimed with joy, and the two descended along the edge of the canyon, which was not very deep, into the bottom.

The intensity of the storm here was not as strong, and visibility was somewhat farther. Ya Ro searched for the geographic features from his memory.

Two or three hours later, he finally led Li Ming to the travel transport ship, more than half of its hull jammed into a massive cave, with the surface marked by countless dents and depressions.

"The Roda, that’s this spaceship," Ya Ro said with a wistful tone, his palm brushing over a jagged hole in the ship’s metal surface, then he prepared to enter and take a look.

"Alright, Junior Brother, let’s get ready to start moving things, the two of us together should be able to take away tens of millions," Ya Ro rolled up his sleeves and prepared to enter the ship’s cabin but was stopped by Li Ming, who was smiling.

"Senior Brother, I have a suggestion, you find a safe place and wait for me for a while."

"What do you mean?" Ya Ro asked, confused.

"I’m planning to give them a surprise, I need to prepare a bit," Li Ning vaguely explained, which obviously didn’t satisfy Ya Ro, who demanded in a serious tone, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Don’t worry, you won’t lose your share," Li Ming did not answer directly.

Ya Ro shook his head, "It’s not about the money, there’s no need to take more risks. Are you planning to drive the spaceship away or what?"

Seeing that Li Ming was just smiling at him with a determined attitude, Ya Ro felt a sense of resignation, torn between saying more and holding back, but ultimately he could only temporarily leave the area.

He didn’t go far, finding a cave slightly above on the side of the canyon wall to hide in, from where he could still faintly see this place.

"Sigh..." He sighed, lying down, his eyes showing a slight change as he looked up at the black vortex in the sky, "That guy, he’s probably still in Atom’s hands."

Then he chuckled bitterly, "How did things end up like this? Trouble, trouble!"

Li Ming could clearly sense Ya Ro’s position, and once he was certain the other had moved away, he couldn’t help but rub his hands together.

He found the hatch, forcibly pried it open, looked inside, and indeed in the lower cargo hold, he found a large amount of metal materials.

"Star Magnetic Alloy, excellent in energy conductivity, very stable, mainly used as the core material for large-scale orbital energy weapons," Li Ming scanned it.

These alloy materials covered the entire cargo hold, and under the rough estimate, they twinkled with cyan light in the dim illumination, indeed resembling a cosmic electromagnetic cloud.

He first attempted to restart the spaceship, the main energy system was exhausted, some backup energy remained, self-check did not pass as there were too many damages to the ship’s body.
