We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

"Clang... Crack... Sizzle..."

Amidst the metallic scraping sound and wisps of ominous black smoke, the weathered military jeep finally fulfilled its duty ten kilometers from the castle, completing its sinful life.

Lin Ye expressionlessly pulled out the key and pushed open the car door.

He walked to the front of the car, lifted his flip-flop foot, and gently kicked the flat tire.

"What a piece of junk!"

He grumbled as he pulled his foot back, realizing that his biggest expense for this summer job was probably the depreciation of his transportation.

There was no other way but to walk over there.

Lin Ye slung the empty red, white, and blue snakeskin bag over his shoulder, strode off, and walked toward the lonely ancient castle standing in the black Gobi Desert in the distance.

As the distance closed, the castle's full view gradually became clear.

It was a war fortress built of black boulders, more magnificent and imposing than any of the previous bases of the "Destroy Luo Alliance".

The towering walls are covered with high-voltage electric grids that flash blue arcs of electricity. Every fifty meters, there is an automatic sensor machine gun turret that flashes red light. The dark muzzle is like the eye of death, silently scanning everything around it.

Beneath the wall, there were even several bio-engineered monsters, as big as rhinos and with grayish-brown skin, patrolling back and forth with heavy steps.

This level of defense is practically screaming "Keep Out!"

Any top agent or mercenary would probably be thinking about how to use the shadows of the sand dunes and rocks to spend hours finding a weak point in the defenses to infiltrate.

But Lin Ye only glanced up once before heading straight for the only entrance to the castle.

That huge steel suspension bridge spans the dried-up moat.

He swaggered over.

sneak into?

Too much trouble.

I need to finish work early so I can catch my flight.

······

The castle, inside the central control room.

The "Lord of the Abyss" held a glass filled with bright red liquid, watching with great interest the tiny figure on the holographic screen that was gradually enlarging.

"He's here."

A graceful yet cruel smile curved his lips.

"What interesting material, they actually chose the most foolish way to attack."

A researcher in a white lab coat respectfully reported to the leader: "Sir, the target has entered the first defense zone, and the radar has locked on."

"Very good." The Lord of the Abyss gently swirled his wine glass. "Activate the 'meat grinder' program to deplete some of his stamina."

The researcher was typing rapidly on the control panel.

next second.

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"

Outside the castle, dozens of silent automatic machine gun turrets spun rapidly, their dark muzzles all aimed at the slender figure on the drawbridge!

"Rat-a-tat ...

The deafening gunfire instantly shattered the tranquility of the Gobi Desert!

Dozens of chains of fire intertwined in the air, forming an impenetrable net of death that completely covered the entire steel suspension bridge.

Countless bullets struck the bridge surface, scattering dense sparks, and the hard special steel plate was riddled with holes.

Let alone a person, even a fly could never get through this storm of metal!

Lin Ye stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the dazzling screen of light made up of bullets in front of him and sighed.

"That's really a lack of martial ethics."

He shook his head, his face full of dissatisfaction with this work process.

"They didn't even arrange for a security guard to stand guard, just used machines. The level of automation is so high, is it to save on labor costs?"

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

hum-

A six-barreled heavy machine gun, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Faced with the overwhelming hail of bullets, Lin Ye didn't even have the thought of dodging.

"Ding ding ding ding— ding ding ding—!"

A series of crisp, dense sounds, like hailstones hitting a tin roof, rang out.

Countless armor-piercing bullets struck his seemingly ordinary flesh and blood, creating dazzling sparks before deforming, bouncing off, and falling helplessly to the ground.

The indestructible body's defensive capabilities made this barrage of fire, which was powerful enough to tear apart a tank, seem like a massive scraping motion.

Lin Ye stretched his neck, making a "crackling" sound.

He slowly raised the steel behemoth in his hand, and the six heavy barrels began to heat up.

"Rat-a-tat ...

A roar even more ferocious and terrifying than the dozens of machine gun turrets on the other side combined exploded with a deafening roar!

A ridiculously thick blue whip made of depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds was lashed out from Lin Ye's hand!

Target: the first automatic machine gun turret on the left!

"boom--!!!"

The sturdy turret, made of special steel and capable of withstanding rocket bombardment, was instantly twisted and deformed like a soda can being hit by a hammer the moment the blue fire whip swept across it, and then exploded into a huge fireball!

The fire whip didn't stop, sweeping across the area with an unreasonable and ruthless manner.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions rose and fell in waves, creating a continuous sound.

Those expensive automated turrets were as fragile as a row of paper lanterns in front of Lin Ye's "unlimited firepower," and were detonated one after another, turning into scrap metal and parts flying everywhere.

Less than half a minute.

The gunfire around the suspension bridge abruptly ceased.

All that remained was a burning wreckage and wisps of rising black smoke.

Lin Ye carried the Gatling gun, its barrel already slightly red, and stepped across the suspension bridge, his feet crunching on the hot cartridge cases and metal fragments scattered on the ground.

······

Inside the central monitoring room.

"Snap!"

The crystal goblet in the Abyss Lord's hand was crushed to pieces by his carelessness, and the scarlet liquid dripped down his pale fingers, mixing with the shards of glass.

He stared intently at the figure on the screen, strolling leisurely across the suspension bridge. For the first time, shock and disbelief appeared on that elegant face.

"His body withstood a barrage of machine gun fire? What exactly is the structure of his body?"

"Your Excellency! Defense Zone One... is completely paralyzed!" The researcher's voice became shrill with fear.

The shock on the Lord of the Abyss's face was quickly replaced by a more morbid fanaticism.

"Absolutely perfect! This is the demeanor a god should have!"

He suddenly raised his head, his deep purple pupils burning with a frenzied flame.

He rushed to the control panel, shoved the terrified researcher aside, and pressed his palm heavily onto a bright red emergency button!

"Since land-based toys aren't enough for you, then try... the deep-sea behemoth I've prepared for you!"

With his roar, a series of violent tremors suddenly came from the bottom of the long-dried moat outside the castle.

The riverbed cracked open with countless huge fissures, and murky, foul-smelling dark green liquid gushed out from the ground, quickly filling the entire moat!

Followed by.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

The water began to boil violently, producing huge bubbles.

"roar--!!!"

With a series of deafening roars, dozens of enormous black shadows suddenly burst out of the churning green liquid and crashed heavily onto the riverbank!

Those were dozens of bio-engineered giant crocodiles, each over ten meters long, covered in dark green bone armor, and with three rows of sharp teeth!
