As soon as Li Fei finished speaking, a crimson light suddenly appeared in the innermost room at the edge of his vision without warning!

Danger!

Before the thought even formed, his powerful combat instincts made him immediately raise his mask again.

boom--!!!

A solid, crimson pillar of flame tore through the air and slammed into Li Fei's chest.

An unimaginable force sent him flying backward, his back slamming into a heavy wooden cabinet with a bang, sending wood chips flying. He slid for several meters before finally coming to a stop.

The shield bar plummeted wildly on the visual interface, emitting a sharp red alarm light!

-317!

When the final number was displayed, Li Fei felt a chill run down his spine.

With just one strike, it destroyed more than a quarter of the shield!

Without the mech, this blow would have been enough to burn him to a crisp.

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, the crisp, slow tapping of leather boots echoed from deep within the room.

Click, click, click...

A tall figure walked out of the room at a leisurely pace.

It was a woman. She was at least 1.75 meters tall, and her ripped skinny jeans accentuated her long, powerful legs. Through the gaps in the jeans, one could vaguely see the black lace lining underneath, giving her a wild yet somewhat eerie look.

Beneath her smoky eyeshadow, her purple pupils resembled an abyss.

Her hair was tied into pigtails, with a few strands of silver-white highlights hanging down beside her cheeks.

What's most eye-catching is her right hand. Her five fingers are slightly spread, and on her palm, a ball of dark red flame, flowing like liquid, is slowly swirling and closing, as if it were alive. The surrounding air is scorched and slightly distorted.

Flames… A look of caution flashed in Li Fei’s eyes. This was a fire elementalist.

The violent output branch of the spellcasting system.

As everyone knows, mages have never been weak.

Li Fei then recalled that Chen Zhe had mentioned before that the leader of the Rust Gang was a second-tier psionicist.

Could this be...?

He didn't think he could beat a second-tier opponent. Even if he used all his mechanical cats, he could only hope for a chance to escape.

To say that two high-ranking classes are fighting a single mage is still too crazy.

"Um..." Li Fei quickly spread his hands to show that he meant no harm. "I think you can see very clearly that I didn't use any deadly attacks, I was just defending myself."

The tall woman's purple eyes swept over Li Fei. "Otherwise, do you think you'd still be alive?"

Hehe... Li Fei chuckled twice.

Having encountered a powerful figure, he simply disarmed his mecha to show his sincerity.

"I really am here to discuss cooperation."

The woman's cold gaze swept over them: "We never cooperate with humans."

"I understand your concerns and situation."

It's understandable that their homes were seized and destroyed by humans, and they were then blacklisted and forced to wander in the wilderness.

Anyone would hate humanity to the core.

However, Li Fei had another way. He proactively handed over his identification: "Why don't you take a look at this first?"

The town wasn't big, and Li Fei didn't believe that as the leader of the Iron Rust Gang, he wouldn't have heard about the Sand Wolf Gang targeting him.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; this applies to any race.

Sure enough, the tall woman who took Li Fei's ID only glanced at it casually before looking back at Li Fei: "You're the temporary worker who was targeted by the Sand Wolf Gang, the one without proper identification?"

Li Fei nodded: "That's right, it's me. Now you should believe that I'm genuinely interested in cooperating with you, right?"

"The Sand Wolf Gang and I are now locked in a life-or-death struggle, at the very least our goals are aligned."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then instructed those behind her, "Ah Biao, you and Mo Fei, go outside and keep watch. Don't let anyone in."

"yes!"

After everyone had left.

The woman then sat down leisurely. "So, how do you want to cooperate?"

Seeing this, Li Fei no longer held back and sat opposite the woman. "It's simple. I want you to share information with me about why you chose to target the Sand Wolf Gang now."

The woman frowned. "Don't you think that's a very unconvincing argument? Even though you and the Sand Wolf Gang are mortal enemies, why would I cooperate with you? Just because you're a mecha pilot apprentice?"

"No." Li Fei slowly put down his backpack, and then a mechanical cat crawled out of it.

"This mecha is not all of my abilities; I also possess mechanical creations."

A flicker of surprise crossed the woman's eyes the moment she saw the mechanical cat, but it was only for a fleeting instant.

In her opinion, this mechanical cat was quite good, but in terms of strength, it was far inferior to the mecha suit Li Fei was wearing.

She shook her head. "Not enough."

Li Fei smiled slightly, "What if I had twenty-five of these mechanical cats?"

He didn't hide this matter; having one ultimate trump card in hand was enough.

Faith points and teleportation arrays must never be exposed.

Moreover, as time goes on, we will have more and more cards to play, and hiding too many cards will only make us more vulnerable to being controlled at every turn.

"Twenty-five?"

The woman stared intently into Li Fei's eyes, seemingly trying to discern whether he was lying from his gaze.

But Li Fei was very confident and let her look at him.

After a two-second eye contact, the woman slowly stood up and nodded in agreement: "Alright, if you really have twenty-five of these mechanical creations, I can share information with you."

"But..." she changed the subject, her voice turning serious, "Are you sure you want to hear this?"

"What do you mean?" Li Fei asked, puzzled.

The woman's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Are you sure you're prepared to bear the consequences of knowing the secret?"

The consequences? Li Fei frowned.

Is this woman trying to scare me?

No, she had no reason to scare me, which means this secret really involves a lot of people?

But Li Fei remained silent for only a moment before making his decision.

The feud with the Sand Wolf Gang is irreconcilable, and it's bound to be a life-or-death situation. Since that's the case, there's nothing left to worry about.

He immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm prepared."

The woman gave Li Fei a deep look and slowly said, "Next month is the day those devils in the company will get their organs transplanted."

What?!

Organ transplant?

Company executives?

Even though Li Fei was mentally prepared, he was still quite shocked by this secret.

Unlike the post-apocalyptic world, Cangnan Star has clear laws.

Strictly speaking, the laws of the Thai Federation are even more stringent than those of the world before the time travel.

Because everyone here has a corresponding identity document, and every year people from the census bureau come to conduct a survey.

Individual murders are difficult to carry out, let alone such a large-scale, organized, and planned body swap.

The federal government has long since issued a decree prohibiting it.

and so……

Li Fei frowned. "Isn't this intelligence a bit too absurd...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman interrupted, "What if the victims were unregistered illegal immigrants? What if they were indigenous people like us? Would that still be absurd?"

Li Fei was taken aback... Oh right, how could he have forgotten about the indigenous connection?

Unfortunately, the native inhabitants of Cangnan Star have not yet submitted to the Federation, resulting in the Federation not including them in the information registration, making it the colony with the most unregistered individuals.

Even if they are unregistered residents, the Thai-Chinese Federation will never allow organ transplants, which violate human ethics.

This is a serious matter.

Cold sweat trickled down my forehead; this really was a deadly secret.

If it's true, then it means going against the rulers of this planet.

Seeing Li Fei's unpleasant expression, the woman revealed a meaningful smile. She extended her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Jasmine, a native of Cangnan Star. Now we're in the same boat."

"Heh..." Li Fei shook his head with a wry smile: "If I had known, I wouldn't have listened."

Despite saying that, he still reached out and shook her hand, saying, "I hope we can work together smoothly."

I came out of the fortune-telling shop.

Li Fei was still somewhat dazed.

Are we going to turn against the world before we've even left the starting village?
