Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 256: Hunter and Invader (Greetings Alliance Hierarch, I Send the King to Patrol the Mountain)

(By the Alliance Hierarch, “My King’s Mountain Patrol,” here is the fourth additional chapter!)

[Loki Heavy Industry]!

Mu Fan saw these four characters!

Compared to the armor module with a diameter of half a meter, this line of small characters less than 1 cm high definitely couldn’t catch anyone’s attention.

Had it not been for his sharp vision, Mu Fan would never have discovered the mystery here.

He stared intently once more…

Finally, Mu Fan remembered what it was.

This was the external armor of the Extreme Special Soldier!

How could the external armor module of the Extreme Special Soldier appear in this laboratory!

Mu Fan’s palm rested on the glass showcase, his thoughts racing.

The only time he had the opportunity to pilot the Extreme Special Soldier was during the qualifying event for Loki Heavy Industry at the underground arena of the Mecha Association exhibition.

Before he had piloted it himself, the arm of the Extreme Special Soldier had been pierced at the joint and cut off by the Wind Speed Competitor of the Arabella Weapons Company.

This piece of armor was likely the Acabert Alloy module that covered the arm!

“Black, in the 162nd showcase, can your central control find information on this material?”

“162nd showcase, defense armor above the mecha arm. Target: analyze metal composition, attempt metal pairing. Priority level: 2S. Research progress: 41%.”

“Huh, this level is the highest in this laboratory at the moment. I hadn’t noticed these. What’s the matter, Mu Fan?”

Mu Fan said gravely, “This is armor from the prototype of the Extreme Special Soldier, and I suspect that the other party might have obtained and analyzed the Acabert Alloy through some means.”

Black was surprised now, “At that time, the prototype of the Extreme Special Soldier fought in three consecutive rounds. The first two rounds were against the Arabella Weapons Company, and the last round was against a mechanical master from another weapons company. The only explanation is that Gaoling Ze was overseeing the entire event!”

Mu Fan’s thought process was obviously more profound than Black’s, “Even if there were any connections between the Arabella Weapons Company and Gaoling Ze, it wouldn’t be significant. Only staff from the Mecha Association could have collected those fragments.”

“In that case, it seems the locals of Blue Capital Star are behind this. With Gaoling Ze being the radical heir of the Gaoling Family, his influence on Blue Capital Star far exceeds that of the Arabella Weapons Company. So it’s very likely that from the beginning… he was orchestrating everything!”

In his state of Dark Breath, Mu Fan’s thoughts were incredibly clear, intricately unraveling the true nature of the matter as Black initially suggested.

But what about the deeper motive?

At this point, Mu Fan’s train of thought hit a roadblock; after all, analyzing these conspiracies with his experience, unveiling the first layer alone was already challenging.

Even with his agile mind, the simple and cheerful Mu Fan ultimately couldn’t compare with those adept in scheming.

“When we leave, I want to take this piece of metal with me,” Mu Fan said coldly.

“Okay, when we leave, I’ll arrange a garbage truck to pass by, then you put the armor on it, and I’ll handle the rest.”

“Okay.” Mu Fan took his palm off the glass showcase and then asked, “How much longer until the flexible training suit is ready?”

“13 minutes 27 seconds.”

“Okay.”

Mu Fan prepared to continue wandering around the laboratory.

But at that moment…

Four drones appeared above the Chade Metal Refining Factory.

When the umbrella-like device appeared and emitted a strong electromagnetic shield in an instant.

The lights in the laboratory flickered momentarily.

Mu Fan merely paused in confusion and didn’t think much of it.

But Black suddenly spoke in a grave tone, which made Mu Fan freeze in his forward-leaning posture, “Mu Fan, there’s a situation. The factory is being strongly shielded by an external interference.”

“Now all surveillance lines inside the factory have been cut off. In other words, I can no longer provide you with external information support.”

Mu Fan turned around and scanned the materials area inside the laboratory, saying, “You mean this isn’t done by the security personnel?”

“Absolutely not; they are all under my surveillance. But just a few seconds ago, all surveillance signals were disrupted and lost. Fortunately, the internal systems of the workshop are separate from the outside and have not been affected, but they cannot send out signals.”

“The flexible training suit still needs 13 more minutes; we can’t interrupt now or the material will be completely spoiled,” Black presented a tough choice to Mu Fan.

Sudden interference indicates unknown danger. Leaving now would be the best choice, but choosing to stay means facing this unknown danger.

As for whether the danger is big or small, what exactly the danger is remains unknown.

This problem that would leave others hesitating for a long time simply did not exist for Mu Fan.

“Keep going, I’ll stand guard here.”

Mu Fan took steps outward, but he did not see any handy weapon.

“Find me a weapon I can use for battle, short or long stick will do.”

“Is a hydraulic rod in the parts library okay?”

“That will work.”

Thus Mu Fan watched as the familiar robot entered once the laboratory door opened, and after a few dozen minutes, a mechanical clamp carried in a hydraulic rod that was about 150 cm long.

Though the thickness at each end was inconsistent, it felt heavy and substantial in hand.

“When I go out, lock the laboratory door.”

“Understood, be cautious. In any case, prioritize life; ensuring the host’s safety is my utmost requirement.”

Worry was also present in Black’s voice, as a large-scale electromagnetic shield of this magnitude probably meant that the situation was worse than imagined.

“Mm.”

Mu Fan walked out of the laboratory with the hydraulic rod, and the thick alloy door behind him slowly closed.

He glanced at the repair ladder above the corridor, which was a narrow place.

With a running start and a few leaps, Mu Fan steadied himself up above.

Dark Breath operated at full speed, as his breathing gradually lowered to the minimum.

His eyes fixated downward, concealed by Dark Breath.

Mu Fan was like a sculpture solidified in the dark, silent and breathless.

The only thing that emerged was the ugly little yellow duck mask, somewhat terrifying.

…

Inside the factory compound, two figures walked toward the refining workshop, one after the other.

The leading figure staggered, afraid of walking too slowly; mere few hundred meters soaked both layers of clothes on his back.

A result of fear, uncontrollable cold sweat.

Finally seeing the familiar corridor ahead, these few short steps seemed to take half of his life’s strength.

The deputy captain turned around in panic and said, “We’ve arrived, it’s right ahead.”

“The refining workshop?”

The man covered in metal battle suit looked up at the corridor signage.

“Yes, yes, the lab is hidden inside.”

“Open the corridor.”

“Yes, yes, sir.”

The deputy captain nodded vehemently, then hurried forward.

But a metal hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

“Wait…” The man behind him slightly tilted his head and said indifferently, “There’s a smell of blood here.”

The deputy captain looked blankly at the man completely covered in metal battle armor. Everything was fine here, the strongest smell of blood was obviously coming from you.

His gaze returned to the deputy captain frightening him into hastily opening the door.

He inserted the security special identification card into the second corridor, and then pressed his palm print.

After dual verification, the door to the refining workshop opened.

At this moment, the deputy captain’s brain was almost a complete mess, half worried and half afraid.

Because…

He didn’t have a pass for the laboratory!

Watching the heavy metal door slowly lift, his entire body sweated profusely.

Meanwhile, the man behind him leisurely raised his right hand, and two cold lights silently sprung out.
