Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 96 All-Out Offensive

He shouted angrily, but his hand was subtly dialing a phone.

No matter who you dial, you only get a busy signal.

"Don't waste your energy." Li Fei's voice slowly came from the mechanical leopard. "All signals within a radius of fifty meters have been blocked by me."

Horikawa Takeshi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, pointed the gun at the mechanical leopard in front of him, and let out a cold laugh, "Kid, don't be too arrogant! You're just a greenhorn who has just stepped into the first level. What do you have to be so arrogant about? I have been a first-level psionicist for twenty years!"

Even if you haven't broken through to the second tier yet, do you think your years of research on guns and honing of psionic skills are something a half-baked mechanic like you can possibly compete with?

As he spoke, he pressed his left hand against the side of his armor, and a dark-colored sniper rifle, about 1.5 meters long, suddenly appeared in his hand. The dark muzzle was locked directly onto the mechanical leopard in front of him. "You think you can take me down with just a mechanical creation? Today I'll show you what a gunsmith is."

"Just one?" Li Fei asked calmly. "The arrogant one doesn't seem to be me."

The moment the words fell.

Suddenly, countless tiny, scarlet lights illuminated the darkness.

On the courtyard walls and rooftops, mechanical leopards with their bodies hunched over revealed their gleaming claws.

From the shadows at the alley entrance, heavy metallic footsteps echoed as dozens of enormous, enraged gorillas stood side by side, their engines emitting a muffled roar.

All possible escape routes have been completely blocked by this mechanical legion.

"Is my fighting strength enough now?" Li Fei's tone was somewhat mocking.

Upon seeing this, Horikawa Takeshi's hand holding the gun trembled, and his palms involuntarily began to sweat.

During the ambush he had meticulously planned that day, he had witnessed the miserable state of the Sand Wolf Gang members and could easily deduce that Li Fei possessed many mechanical creations.

He was the one who leaked the information about Li Fei's mechanical cat, and it was also his and Yuan Ye's plan that made Li Fei a wanted criminal.

But Horikawa couldn't understand why Li Fei possessed a mechanical cat.

How long has it been? How long has it been since he became a first-tier mechanic? How could he possibly have created so many first-tier mechanical creations in just over ten days?

Putting manufacturing aside, why is he able to study the blueprints so quickly?

This talent would be extremely rare, even in the vast universe.

Horikawa Takeshi's eyes flashed with resentment, but now he didn't even know where Li Fei was. Even if he used every means at his disposal, he couldn't fight against this mechanical army, let alone—

He glanced at the closed door beside him, sighed inwardly, put down his psionic sniper rifle, and slowly said, "Alright, Li Fei, I admit defeat. But my wife and children shouldn't be implicated. What I did has nothing to do with my wife and children. Can you please let them go?"

"I have no grudge against your family," Li Fei said calmly. "But you can't just let bygones be bygones. If you want me to let them go, you'll have to offer something substantial in return."

"I—I can trade my Tier 1 Gunsmith knowledge for my wife's life." Horikawa Takeshi seemed to have lost all his strength. In truth, he had already foreseen this outcome the moment he became the mole, but there was nothing he could do; his daughter was in someone else's hands—

"Okay, I agree."

Horikawa Takeshi stood there in a daze for a long time, then bowed deeply into the darkness.

He pulled a thick book with a glowing cover from his inner pocket and tossed it to the mechanical leopard in front of him.

"The remaining basic knowledge for first-tier mechanics is in a hidden cabinet in my study. I hope you will keep your promise."

After doing all this, he slowly raised the gun in his hand, pointed it at his temple, and a bitter smile of relief appeared on his face.

boom-

A gunshot rang out, its piercing sound particularly jarring in the silent night.

The rooftop of a high-rise building not far from Horikawa Takeshi's house.

Li Fei put down his observation scope, tapped the railing lightly with his fingertips, and muttered, "He's a man with principles, after all."

He commanded in his heart: Come back, all of you.

The order was given, and soon after, a mechanical leopard came over carrying a glowing booklet with four large characters written on it: "Intermediate Long-Range Ballistics".

It is indeed a book of professional knowledge.

Then several more mechanical leopards came over, each carrying a faintly glowing book in its mouth, and one of them also had the sniper rifle that Horikawa Takeshi was holding in its mouth.

Unfortunately, for a mechanic, the best weapon is the one they make themselves, so it would be best to deduce the blueprints for this sniper rifle if possible.

However, Horikawa's knowledge should be just right for synthesizing this sniper rifle.

Li Fei was thrilled, now he had another trump card, and he hoped he could make it to the Sand Wolf Gang's grand event.

Withdrawing his thoughts, he left only one mechanical leopard behind, and teleported all the remaining mechanical creations back to the apocalypse.

After doing all this, Li Fei mounted the mechanical leopard and headed towards the town.

Not long after, the mechanical leopard stopped in front of a shop.

Li Fei came downstairs and went straight in without knocking.

At a glance, you can see Jasmine and her group sitting around the table, looking worried.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Li Fei.

Jasmine was the first to react, and she said directly to everyone, "You all leave first, we'll discuss this later."

After everyone left, she looked at Li Fei with surprise and said, "You're really bold. The police are after you, and the Sand Wolf Gang is looking for you. How dare you come here so openly?"

"Don't worry, I bypassed all the surveillance cameras and informants, and only came after confirming it was safe." Li Fei shrugged, walked straight to the sofa and sat down, casually asking, "How's the situation lately?"

"It's not good, it's terrible." Jasmine sighed, which was unusual for her, and her face was full of anxiety. "The VIPs who are involved in the organ trade will arrive in Wild Wolf Street one after another tonight, and the surgery will officially begin tomorrow night."

"But now, not only have the Sand Wolf Gang not had any personnel transferred, but because of your matter, Xinhe Group has also transferred some second-tier powerhouses over."

"Second tier?" A look of seriousness flashed in Li Fei's eyes, and he immediately asked, "There isn't a third tier, is there?"

"Do you think Tier 3 experts are as common as cabbages?" Jasmine rolled her eyes. "There are no more than a hundred Tier 3 experts on the entire Cangnan Star. How could they dare to openly send someone here to protect a criminal activity, especially to such a godforsaken place?"

"Don't those executives who come to make deals bring their own bodyguards?" Li Fei continued to ask.

"They will definitely bring them." Jasmine's helplessness deepened. "But this is a secret transaction. They can't bring people in a big way, let alone bring third-tier experts to parade around. At most, they'll bring two or three second-tier bodyguards."

"That's good," Li Fei said, opening a bottle of mineral water and taking a sip. "How many are at Tier 2?"

"The Sand Wolf Gang originally had at least a dozen Tier 2 members, and now it's conservatively estimated to be no less than thirty."

"Only thirty ones?" Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only?" Jasmine's lips twitched. "Do you know how many people are in our Rust Gang?" "Including me, there are only three."

"You have so many natives, but only three are at the second rank?" Li Fei asked, somewhat surprised.

Jasmine rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Our clan doesn't only have this one settlement. Our main base is still in Mist City, and the situation there is even worse now. It's already quite good that we have three."

"Three will do." Li Fei leaned back on the sofa, casually picked up some snacks from the table, opened them, and started eating them absentmindedly.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Jasmine's anger flared up instantly.

In order to cover Li Fei's escape, she lost seven brothers, and her original plan to contain him completely failed. Now that Xinhe Group has reinforced its troops, she is extremely overwhelmed. But the person in question acts as if it's none of her business.

"Li Fei, can't you pay attention?!" Jasmine slammed her hand on the table, making the water bottle jump and startling Li Fei, who was eating snacks. "How many people did we lose trying to help you escape? Now the whole plan is ruined. The number of second-tier experts in the Sand Wolf Gang has doubled. If this continues, we'll be wiped out by Xinhe and the Sand Wolf Gang before we even make a move!"

"Uh—what's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Li Fei put down his snacks, looking both amused and exasperated. "I came here to help you, didn't I?"

"How are you going to contribute?" Jasmine curled her lip, looking incredulous. "Relying on your newly acquired first-tier spiritual energy, or on your mech that can only handle close combat? What we lack right now is combat power capable of dealing with thirty second-tier experts."

Li Fei didn't bother explaining his mechanical legion's trump card to her. He simply stood up and said confidently, "Don't worry, your Rust Gang can just stay put. Leave the matter on Wild Wolf Street to me. Wait for my signal tomorrow night."

After saying that, without paying any attention to Jasmine's astonished and confused expression, he got up and went out, disappearing into the night.

Jasmine stared at the closed door, sighing softly. She muttered to herself, "This is insane! I shouldn't have partnered with this brat in the first place. He's talented, but he's far too arrogant. Does he really think second-tier experts are just roadside weeds?"

The next day, late at night, on Wild Wolf Street.

One after another, luxurious hovercars landed at the street corner. The doors opened, and wealthy and powerful people dressed in fine clothes and accompanied by bodyguards stepped out. They were all respectfully welcomed by the Sand Wolf Gang into the most central clubhouse in the street.

Milo, dressed in a black suit, stood in the surveillance room on Wolf Street.

As the newly appointed leader of the Sand Wolf Gang, today's transaction is a crucial opportunity for him to prove himself in front of Xinhe Group, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

But his right eyelid has been twitching since the afternoon, and he has a vague feeling of unease in his heart.

He raised his hand and tugged at his tight collar, then asked his deputy in a deep voice, "Has the defense of the street been checked? Have the sentries and sniper positions at each entrance and exit been manned?"

"Everything's arranged, Milo!" The deputy nodded hurriedly. "There are twelve patrol teams deployed throughout the street, with two groups guarding each entrance and exit, each group led by two second-tier adults. Absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

"Hmm—" Milo responded in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen.

On the huge screen in front of us, there are AI target acquisition probes everywhere. It can be said that as long as an unidentified humanoid creature appears, it will be directly locked on.

Is everything normal at the moment?

Milo paused, wondering what that was.

He was looking at a video where it seemed like dark figures had just flashed by.

Not daring to be careless, Milo quickly pointed to the screen and said to his deputy, "Pull up the video here."

The deputy immediately extracted the video, slowed it down, and slowed it down again, until he could finally see the full appearance of the group of dark figures.

—A group of black panthers? And gorillas? What's going on? Did the animals in the zoo escape?
