Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 95 The Rampaging Gorilla

【Bionic Combat Mech Leopard - Swift Shadow (Exclusive: Li Fei)】

Type: Light High-Speed ​​Assault Durability: 1500/1500

Battery level: 100% (100 hours of battery life on a full charge, 15 hours of battery life in combat mode)

Basic performance: Cruising speed 60km/h, acceleration speed 120km/h

[Combat Module]

1. Alloy Armor-Piercing Claw Blade: Tear damage 40-60, attack has an armor-piercing effect (ignores 20% of the target's physical defense).

2. High-frequency oscillating toothed blade: The biting attack has a tearing effect (causing continuous bleeding damage and blocking the target's self-healing ability).

3. High-voltage arc module: Capable of releasing a short-range directional arc (maximum range 5 meters), causing 1-2 [unclear - possibly referring to damage or injury] upon impact.

Instant stun, 8-second cooldown [Original Ability]

Chokehold Pounce: Consumes energy to launch an extreme sprint pounce within 20 meters, prioritizing the target's core vitals. Upon hit, it triggers a claw blade combo + electric arc paralysis; can deal massive armor-piercing damage to the target.

Cluster Hunting: When multiple mechanical leopards work together, they can share vision and attack markers. For each additional unit of the same type, the team's critical hit rate increases by 5%, up to a maximum of 30%.

The Swift Shadow Leopard's abilities are simple and straightforward, making it a perfect superior alternative to the Mechanical Cat.

All aspects of its performance have been significantly improved. Li Fei was even certain that the Swift Shadow Leopard he had personally built was far more powerful than the mechanical leopard that had attacked him before.

If that's the case, then there can only be one reason.

The mechanical leopard and mechanical gorilla were not created by that mechanic; they were finished products made by someone else, which is why he was unable to fully utilize their mechanical capabilities.

Now, all of his mechanical leopards are extremely capable, especially their innate ability to hunt in packs, which is practically tailor-made for the legion. The maximum 30% critical hit bonus for the entire team directly raises the output ceiling of the entire mechanical leopard squad by an order of magnitude.

As for the robotic gorilla, it can be described as a bug-level weapon for attacking enemies.

【Bionic Battle Gorilla - Rage (Exclusive: Li Fei)】

Type: Heavy Melee Combat; Durability: 4000/4000

Battery level: 100% (70 hours of battery life on a full charge, 6 hours of battery life in combat mode)

Basic performance: 30km/h, burst charge speed 60km/h, maximum load capacity 10 tons, capable of lifting 8 tons (Note: This mechanical creation requires 2 mechanical connection slots.)

[Combat Module]

1.高融合金碎甲拳套：钝击伤害70—100，附带30%碎甲概率（有机率将目标护甲破坏）；可将重拳动能的30%转化为震荡伤害，对护盾单位可造成僵直效果。

2. Adaptive Shield Module: A full-coverage nano shield can be deployed on the chest armor, with a shield durability of 5000/5000. It can absorb all types of damage and provides immunity to stun during the shield's duration. The shield's durability can be automatically repaired when not in combat.

3. Heavy-duty shin-mounted pulse jet module: Increases burst speed by 50% and additionally supports three types of emergency jetting: airborne, side-shifting, and retreating, allowing for rapid adjustment of combat position or escape from danger.

4.集成式动能霰弹枪：伤害20—30/弹片（共20枚）；弹容2发；换弹速度1.5

Seconds; the closer the hit, the higher the knockdown impact, with a maximum increase of 500%.

[Inherent Ability]

Berserk Charge: Charge with the help of the jet module, increasing speed by 50%, reducing damage by 50% during the charge, increasing gauntlet damage by 50%, and causing additional shock damage upon impact with a target. Lasts for 5 seconds, with a 20-second cooldown.

Aerial Descent: Leap into the air using the shin-mounted jet module (up to 5 meters), using your own weight and gauntlet kinetic energy to slam into the target, causing area shock damage upon landing (3-meter radius, 150-200 damage), with a knockdown effect. Berserk Shot: Unleash a high-rate-of-fire burst without reloading, each shot reducing durability by one point.

The current enraged gorilla is a product of fusion with a melee shotgun. To put it bluntly, with its current abilities, an average second-tier psionicist simply couldn't withstand this level of attack.

Especially with the Berserk Shot skill, combined with the powerful control of the melee shotgun, and if the Holy Core empowerment is added, Li Fei can't even imagine how ferocious the output will be.

The only downside is that its durability drops very quickly. Activating all of them might mean destroying a raging gorilla, so it's best not to use it lightly.

As for now.

With his thoughts clearing, Li Fei's gaze sharpened, and the mechanical connection instantly activated.

The eyes of 60 Swift Shadow Mechanical Leopards and 11 Furious Mechanical Gorillas simultaneously lit up with a scarlet glow, and the ravens began to flap their wings and take flight.

This is the maximum number of mechanical creations he can currently control simultaneously.

All other spare mechanical constructs are on standby in the safe zone, ready to be deployed via teleportation arrays should any damage occur at the front lines.

However, now that we have become so powerful, there is still one thing that needs to be verified.

Li Fei controlled the raven to take off and fly directly towards the hotel not far away.

As the raven approaches, the view of the hotel appears on the screen.

The moment the image was transmitted back, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The monstrous, mountain-like creature remained paralyzed on the rooftop, a grotesque, gaping hole running from front to back in its chest.

The concrete floor on the rooftop was completely soaked in blood, so red it looked like someone had painted red paint all over the place.

Was it done by that strange, naked man?

The image flashed through Li Fei's mind, and a chill inexplicably ran down his spine.

The best course of action would be to deal with it as soon as possible, but there were no other living creatures left on the rooftop, and it was impossible to risk searching for the unknown monster at this point. So, we had to keep this matter to ourselves for the time being.

After calling the raven back, Li Fei sent someone to summon Wang Meng, Zhang Quan, Tang Mucheng, and Su Wan'er.

Before long, Zhang Quan came running over.

He had just stepped into the warehouse when he suddenly stopped, his whole body frozen in place.

The warehouse, which was originally filled with various materials, now houses a series of mechanical creations with a matte, cold luster. Their streamlined alloy bodies, chilling claws and fists, and the faint red light emanating from their eyes all reveal their terrifying capabilities.

If these things could move, I can't believe how terrifying a group of killing machines they would be.

"Lord, you actually possess such technology?" A surge of excitement welled up within him for no apparent reason. To be able to follow such a leader in this apocalyptic world was truly an immense stroke of luck!

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of Li Fei beside him that he snapped back to reality, hurriedly concealing the astonishment and joy surging in his eyes, and stood up straight, not daring to look around any longer.

Looking at his greasy body and black dust embedded in his fingernails, Li Fei patted him on the shoulder approvingly and said, "Old Zhang, you've had a tough time these past few days."

Zhang Quan quickly waved his hand, his tone full of gratitude: "Lord, you're too kind! You provided us with food and drink, and even helped us recover our strength. Everyone has inexhaustible energy to work, and it's not hard work at all!"

"We'll have to work hard for everyone for a while longer. Production of basic parts can't stop; we'll have to work overtime to catch up," Li Fei said with a smile. "I'll have Wan'er add an extra half ounce of meat to everyone's daily ration starting today."

The core components of mechanical artifacts are still mostly in stock; what is truly in short supply are basic components such as armor plates and metal frames.

Furthermore, basic components are not only needed for manufacturing new mechanical creations, but also consumed in large quantities for subsequent maintenance and repair of mechanical bodies, so the more you stockpile, the better.

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Lord! You've been so kind to us, we'll do our best!" Zhang Quan's eyes lit up instantly, and he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. Only when Li Fei waved for him to go ahead and get busy did he excitedly turn around and go back to the workshop.

Just as Zhang Quan left, Tang Mucheng, Su Wan'er, and Wang Meng arrived together.

Li Fei first looked at Tang Mucheng: "Mucheng, how did it go with the team we asked to lead in collecting abandoned machinery?"

Tang Mucheng answered directly: "The assistance from forklifts and robotic arms is very significant. We have now cleared out all the abandoned factories and auto repair shops within a three-kilometer radius. The recycled steel and electronic components in the warehouse have filled three compartments, which should be more than enough for the time being."

"Well done." Li Fei nodded slightly and then proceeded to arrange the follow-up tasks. "Let's put the matter of recycling the abandoned machinery on hold for now. Next, you and your men will work with Wang Meng to clear out the surrounding zombies. The core objective is still to collect the crystal cores."

"Yes!" Tang Mucheng replied.

Wang Meng then reported, "Boss, we cleared out three zombie gathering points in the area recently and collected over 700 crystal cores. We used some to upgrade the brothers, and we still have 600 in stock."

—Six hundred, which is three hundred thousand experience points. Li Fei calculated in his mind for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "It's still not enough. I have a tough battle to fight next, and the demand for crystal cores will be huge. The collection task cannot be relaxed. However, you should not go to the school for now. Let's make steady progress from other places."

The two immediately replied in unison, "Understood!"

Finally, Li Fei looked at Su Wan'er: "Wan'er, you will still be in full charge of the base's resource allocation. I'm currently unable to go out and purchase food, so the base's food supply and resource turnover will depend on your efforts. We can't afford to waste anything, and if there are any problems you can't solve, tell me immediately."

Su Wan'er nodded gently: "Don't worry, Brother Fei, the food reserves we have now can last for a month if we use them sparingly."

All arrangements for those remaining behind and subsequent tasks were properly handed over, confirming that the base's operation, material supply, and combat strength replenishment were all in place, leaving no worries behind. The group bowed and withdrew.

Li Fei was the only one left in the warehouse. He raised his hand and waved it, activating the array, and white light slowly shone up.

This time, the teleportation node for Cangnan Star is located in the desert not far from the N7 settlement.

The formation glowed white, and one after another, mechanical leopards and furious gorillas landed silently, forming a neat and imposing formation in the night.

The desert gradually sank into darkness, with only a few scattered lights shining from the distant settlements.

Li Fei gazed at the lights, his eyes slightly downturned. "Now, it's my turn to collect the debts."

Police station.

Just as Horikawa Takeshi came out of the police chief's office, he bumped into Chen Zhe, who was returning from investigating a case.

He glanced at Chen Zhe, who had just returned and was already engrossed in reviewing case files at the table, and said, "Zhe-jun, the key suspect in the dismemberment case has now been identified as Li Fei, and an arrest warrant has been issued for his capture."

Our task force's core mission is to apprehend him and bring him to justice. You don't need to waste any more time on these irrelevant files.

Chen Zhe raised his eyes and glanced indifferently at Horikawa Takeshi. "Senior Horikawa, you seem to have misunderstood something. Rather than rushing to convict Li Fei, I'd like to find out first who the mole in the police station is who passed the information to Yuan Ye and tampered with things."

Horikawa's face darkened. "What do you mean by that? The mole story is just Li Fei's side of the story, there's no evidence whatsoever! He's a wanted criminal on the run now, and you believe the lies of someone like that?"

"I think it's at least more credible than what you said," Chen Zhe said, then ignored Horikawa and continued to bury himself in the files.

"Hmph, stubborn. Once I catch Li Fei, you'll know just how wrong you were." Horikawa snorted and walked out of the police station.

I walked all the way home, and just as I reached my doorstep, my watch beeped with a phone call.

He glanced at the caller ID, then looked around before answering the call.

"Hey, Young Master Yuan, the matter has been taken care of."

"Hmm, well done. Your intelligence is very valuable. I didn't expect that kid to be a Legion-style Mechanic. He has good talent. People like him should be nipped in the bud." Yuan Ye's voice sounded very pleased.

"By the way," he changed the subject, his tone turning colder, "where did Li Fei go after leaving the Rennes Armory? Are there any clues?"

"Not yet," Horikawa replied. "That kid is very cautious. He left all his communication devices in the wilderness. He has extremely strong counter-tracking capabilities, and we currently have absolutely no leads."

"But don't worry, Young Master Yuan, the wanted posters for the entire settlement have already been put up. Unless he stays in the desert for the rest of his life, he has nowhere to go and won't pose any threat to us in the future."

"Hmm." Yuan Ye's tone softened slightly, but he still added, "But it would be best to find an opportunity to get rid of him. I'm always uneasy leaving him alive."

"Don't worry, as soon as there's any trace of Li Fei, I'll notify you immediately and personally lead people to handle it." Horikawa Takeshi quickly agreed, then hesitated for a long time before cautiously speaking, "Um—Young Master Yuan, about my daughter—"

"Don't worry," Yuan Ye replied casually over the phone. "Miss Horikawa is so cute, how could I hurt her? We're currently using our company's most advanced medicine on her, and I believe she'll graduate from Loren Academy with top marks soon. She has a bright future ahead of her."

"Then—thank you very much, Young Master Yuan."

After hanging up the phone, Horikawa Takeshi clenched his fist, a look of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"Clap clap clap—"

A sudden burst of applause rang out from the darkness. "Horikawa-senpai is such a loving father to his daughter."

"Who?!" Horikawa immediately drew his gun, and full-body armor instantly donned his armor.

"Don't be so nervous~" A playful voice came from the darkness.

-

Immediately afterwards, a bionic mechanical leopard made entirely of matte black alloy slowly emerged from the darkness.

The sound came from the leopard.

Horikawa Takeshi's face turned deathly pale, his pupils shrinking sharply: "It's you! Li Fei! You wanted criminal, you actually dare to deliver yourself to my doorstep?!"
