Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

"Wait, what is this thing transporting...?"

Xing's passive ability was triggered again, and she immediately knew how to use it.

"You should know from the sound. That's right, transporting an empty planet to give to Hammer King for building materials. What's the big deal? It's just a big cargo ship, don't make a fuss. Go check the mines, see if Toppa is there."

The blue light on the V-Neck slowly faded, and Hua Wu's voice disappeared along with the fading light.

"This thing is really heavy. Wait, where's the mine? Damn, I should have known better than to work overtime."

.......

Mechanical settlements

"Outsider, you have one more chance to say to me..."

"I'm talking nonsense, Stardust Ace!"

"boom!!!"

"Om————"

Qiong felt as if she had been struck by an apocalyptic tremor; her entire body was shaking and completely numb.

"Uh...ah...how...why...is it...so...hard?! What are you?"

"Right leg armor damaged by 34.24%, target detected with strong attack intent, high-risk individual, annihilate immediately!" Schwarz's eyes glowed red, and the laser cannon in his hand was about to be fully charged.

A thick, bluish-purple beam of light shot out in an instant, but Qiong's combat instincts allowed him to dodge the attack in a tenth of a second!

Staring at the melting debris of the mechs and the burning oil, the pungent smell told him that he really could die.

"Based on calculations, there is an 82.4% probability that you will continue to attack me. Therefore, I need to subdue you."

Qiong sensed something was wrong. If he were to be subdued by such a huge robot, he would definitely be doomed!

"What?! Uniforms?! Hua Wu, Dan Heng, Walter, save my mouth!!!"

Dan Heng, who was soaking in the hot spring in the wild pool at that moment, only vaguely heard a sound, but he did not pay attention to it.

"Huh? Who's calling me?"

And the mecha operator who was showing off his skills in the underground boxing gym only heard a very faint sound, but he didn't pay attention to it, assuming it was the voice of a spectator.

Hua Wu, who was gathering his troops on a high mountain, also heard and saw it, but he did not intend to go to the rescue.

"Let me see just how strong your protagonist aura is?"

...........

While Qiong fantasizes about being imprisoned and tortured by this giant robot with all sorts of mechanical methods... she is in despair about life.

A ray of sunlight illuminated him.

"I [company swear word]! Brothers! Let's show these barbaric and unruly natives the power of our company! Let them know what the power of technology is!"

These words were as warm as the winter sun for Qiong.

A group of black mechs stormed in! At the forefront were two giant rolling iron balls! And another group of people carrying pickaxes and shovels rushed into the nearby wanderer camp.

Two iron balls crushed the iron gate and blasted straight in! Wherever they passed, the mechs were all crushed into iron discs.

Qiong froze on the spot. Only after taking a closer look did he realize, "Isn't this someone from the company?"

"Help me! I'm here!"

"Hmm? This outfit... doesn't look particularly like those natives..." A company employee saw Qiong surrounded by mechs. He felt that the person looked somewhat familiar, but not by much.

"Never mind, avenge our brothers! Kill!"

But the employee didn't care about that. His halberd whistled through the air, leaving no trace of the mechs in its wake.

Upon seeing this scene, Qiong decided that running away was the best option. Although he didn't know what grudge the company had against these people, he figured he might as well take advantage of such a good opportunity.

"Where do you want to go?" A detached voice came from behind. Qiong turned around and saw that Hua Wuzhen had been called over.

"Well... let's go to the upper level to buy some specialty foods."

Hua Wu asked with a smile, "It's so chaotic here, do you have any clues?"

Qiong was genuinely clueless. After all, he didn't know why these company people rushed in like they were on adrenaline and started exploding everywhere, "Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

"I don't know anything."

"Your protagonist aura is still pretty good." Hua Wu turned around and threw a cube at the chaotic scene.

A golden data field unfolded, instantly halting everyone's movements.

"What...what is this?"

"An inorganic hardening force field generates a magnetic field that causes the outer layers of inorganic materials to connect. Simply put, it's like your skin being covered with glue, making it unable to move," Hua Wu explained as he walked towards the two stationary iron balls.

"Are you two Toppa's men?"

The two team leaders were dumbfounded. How did this person suddenly appear? And what kind of secret weapon was this? To this, they could only honestly answer:

"Yes."

"Yes."

Chapter 35 Toppa: The suffocating feeling of being embraced by bad luck.

Lower Zone - Mine -

"Hmm, where did my monitoring team go? I can't see them." Topa was confused; she had only planned to conduct a surprise inspection.

She never expected to discover such a huge problem. She had thought she could catch a few slackers, but they had all disappeared; it was highly likely that everyone had skipped work.

This was something she had never encountered before in her career, so she called those two damn team leaders directly.

But surprisingly, no one answered; the two group leaders completely ignored her call.

"Where have all these people gone? Wait, what about the miners?"

At this moment, Toppa felt like he had swallowed a fly but couldn't spit it out.

"Zhangzhang, go inside and see if anyone is there."

The account disappeared from the spot, but it soon returned.

"Squeak! Chirp chirp."

"Someone? Just an employee?" Topana was speechless after hearing Zhang Zhang's report. "They even left a lookout; they clearly don't take me seriously."

Toppa followed Zhangzhang into the mine, saying, "I want to see who gave you the courage."

Inside the cave, Hao Jing was filled with terror. He recognized the pig; if he wasn't mistaken, their Director Toppa had arrived.

"The supervisor is here? Maru! Team leader, brothers, and miners! I'm so sorry!"

Just as he was wailing, Toppa arrived.

Toppa was much calmer than he had expected. "Tell me, give me a reason. A reason to let you go."

"Well... this is my fault." Hao Jing decided to take the blame, after all, the miners and the two team leaders went to the natives to seek revenge because of him.

Topa was almost laughing in exasperation. "Tell me what happened!"

"Well... because those natives caused trouble, and I'm not very skilled, so I got injured. The team leader took some men to get revenge for me. The miners said that place is called something like the Mechanical Settlement..."

"You guys are so united? How come I didn't know that?" Topa was completely baffled. She should have looked up more information about Yalilo. She didn't even know what this mechanical settlement was.

Moreover, judging from the company's equipment, this could be another major diplomatic incident.

Topa feels like she's been plagued by bad luck. All she can say is that this field mission is a bit of a choke point and a bit of a struggle.

"According to the map, this is the place, right?" Xing slowly found the mining area based on the map provided by Seele, but something just didn't feel right.

"Where is everyone? Didn't Seele say this place was bustling with activity? Why is it so lifeless? I should have doubled the amount of trash for her. Seriously, there's nobody here."

Seeing that no one was around, Xing took a picture on the spot and then tattled on it.

Hua Wu & Xing —

Xing: If I haven't made a mistake, then it must be an absence without leave.

........

After sending the message, Xing felt a little uneasy, so she decided to go and check out the mining area.

Guided by the light of the earth's marrow, Xing groped his way through the mine.

"There seems to be a sound...it sounds a bit like Toppa's voice."

"Who?!" Topa called out warily. She felt the voice was somewhat familiar, but she wasn't quite sure. She pointed her gun at the way she had come from.

"Huh? You didn't skip work? You reported it too early." Xing walked up the rock wall to Topa, who then put down his gun.

"Um, you're here because..."

"Awu asked me to come and supervise you, and then... I thought you skipped work." Xing was a little embarrassed, after all, she had made a false accusation.

"Deputy Supervisor Wei?" Topa felt even more unlucky, because this was no different from absenteeism.

“The current situation is practically no different from absenteeism,” Topa boldly admitted, mainly because she was also surprised.

She never expected that these employees could disappear en masse, taking local miners with them.

"Oh right, Seele said it was lively here, but there's nobody here right now. Wait, wait, there seems to be someone here... Hey, isn't there a company employee over there?"

Xing looked at Hao Jing lying on the ground and felt something was off. What was this called? Was it open but not completely open? Was there a lookout left to prove that this place was inhabited?

"He was wounded. According to him, everyone who was supposed to work here has run off to a place called the Mechanical Settlement." Toppa felt incredibly unlucky; during the handover of his work, he was attacked by the Extinction Lord.

While I was working, the contract was secretly altered. Now, the employees are blatantly skipping work.

The most amazing thing is that she had never encountered these situations before. Now she's starting the encyclopedia.

"Mechanical settlement? Judging from the name, it should be a place with lots of robots. If there's such a thing as coincidence... I should have been there two and a half hours ago."

Xing wasn't sure either; she just felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name. And when she left Qiong in that location, there did seem to be a large number of mechs there.

"Where is that place?!" Topa's anger flared up. If she found that group of miners, she would unleash her power as director.
