This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 384: Chapter 206: Eating While Taking, Collector-style Buffet

Picking up the mechanical long gun beside Sislang, Li Ming already had it under his control and could still recover about three or four hundred thousand units of metal energy.

"But I didn’t see any gene sequences..." Li Ming surveyed the corpses at his feet.

These people were either raiders or from the Torch Organization; the gene seeds they’d fused with at the early stages were pretty common, and once they became powerful, even if they acquired gene sequences, they couldn’t use them.

Shaking his head, he focused his mind and quickly moved through the elevator shaft.

...

On the fifth floor, in the small dark room of the Mechanics, the intense roaring and shaking made all the Mechanics tremble with fear, huddling together in terror.

Brown and the on-site guards were patrolling nervously as well.

"All of you fucking squat down and don’t move!" Brown’s neck was slung with an electromagnetic assault rifle that was longer than him laid sideways, his bulging eyes nearly popped out in fear, but he did not forget to scold the group of Mechanics.

"Fuck, to actually dare attack the Collector’s fortress, they’re really tired of living!" He burst into an angry tirade, grinding his teeth in rage.

This place was heavily protected, unable to communicate with the outside world, and the Collector’s orders were usually conveyed through an internal network.

Now that the security system had collapsed, this place was completely isolated, Brown had no idea what was happening outside.

He could only guess that someone had launched an attack.

Among the squatting Mechanics, many exchanged glances, their eyes flickering, restless.

Thud!

An Energy Beam exploded right beneath their feet, causing the Mechanic nearby to shudder.

"Who told you to move!" Brown’s expression was sinister, "Don’t think this is your chance to escape, anyone who dares to move will be shot on sight!"

The Mechanics who could mingle in the Land of Stars were no ordinary life forms, but now, each of them carried a small gene inhibitor, making it difficult to exert their normal strengths.

Bang!

At that moment, a rumbling sound came from behind, Brown turned abruptly only to see the door blown open, a gust of wind swirling through.

He nearly jumped on the spot from fright, rushing behind one of the guards immediately.

The guard soldiers were ready, smoke drifting, but no one entered.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" Brown’s large eyes seemed to catch something in the corner, turning his head, he saw among the squatting Mechanics, some were actually cracking their gene inhibitors.

"Seeking death!"

He raised his gun ready to fire.

Clang!

Sparks flew, the long gun in his hand was knocked aside, another flash of electricity came from outside the door, piercing through his shoulder.

"Ahh--" Brown screamed, scrambling to crouch on the ground.

Click--

Someone’s small gene inhibitor was dismantled, followed by the disassembly of all the Mechanics’ gene inhibitors.

The many Mechanics became increasingly restless, their eyes fixed on the door outside, a greed that could not be suppressed, greed for freedom, they had been trapped here for far too long.

"Forget it, better to die outside!" A life form gritted its teeth, its body hair thick and unkempt for who knows how long, frantic and mad, rushing towards the door.

However, nothing happened, looking left and right with excitement, they vanished into the corridor.

This seemed to ignite the flame in the hearts of the many Mechanics, who one after another courageously dashed out the door.

"How dare you!" Brown gnashed his teeth, hiding under a table, but no one paid him any attention.

Some wanted to stop, their eyes filled with resentment, intent on revenge, but they were dragged and urged to leave quickly.

Brown’s large eyes rolled, glancing toward the door, waiting for most of the Mechanics to run away before he finally called out, "Go after them, bring them back!"

He scurried towards the door as well, but in the opposite direction of the fleeing Mechanics.

"Pretty smart."

In the corner, Li Ming smiled faintly, beams of electromagnetic light shot out, piercing the surveillance devices at the corners.

Although the security system was down, it didn’t hurt to be cautious.

Then he came to the slender "Particle Confinement Ship Cannon" he had been eying for a while, wavering three million units of metal energy, and the barrel disappeared.

He glanced at it, rather curious about the Control Effect.

[Excessive Energy Storage: Can store energy in the Control Bar without disappearing, and can accumulate up to twice the discharge energy.]

He raised an eyebrow; so it worked that way.

This made things a lot easier; such a large contraption was too much trouble to carry around for charging, plus one could fire twice after a single charge.

The clamor from the outside grew louder, and Li Ming, without much delay, went to handle the large number of items in the underground vault.

Leaving the place, passing through the corridors, a glance in the peripheral vision revealed a large number of raiders pouring in from the outside, wearing various outfits, some even ragged, with tattered clothes and greedy excitement on their faces.

All brutes, capable of breaking into violence with just a little pushing.

Li Ming shook his head, the motley crew of rabble could not be more miscellaneous, with only a few teams of any real strength, and even B-rank life forms leading them.

Their first choice was not to scout for enemies, but to scatter into the rooms.

Indeed, they had not come to block enemies, the billion-dollar bounty sounded good, but not without its risks.

But this was the Collector’s den, these sorts of people usually had no chance to enter, maybe this time they could snag a treasure, and if they acted quickly, it could be a big haul.

"Used as cannon fodder."

Li Ming shook his head, sealed off the elevator shaft after passing through simply, then quickly returned to the bottom, the hidden elevator shaft was on the sixth floor, it would take these people quite some time to find it.

"Damn it, not a single one of these raiders intends to stop the enemy, they’re all looting!" Cassis moved with his own men, blending into the looting crowd, having already taken off the guard uniform, disguised as a raider.
