Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Chaos
"I’m telling you this right now: if any chaos breaks out, hide in here immediately," Yang Bo said. He wasn’t entirely sure if the Ash Organization’s Spaceship was currently in this Celestial Pit, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Alright." Third Huang wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Yang Bo had no intention of elaborating, he held his tongue.
"How many people have you prepared?"
"A lot. We have more than enough manpower. Besides, once we make our move, this is our Mutants’ planet." Third Huang wasn’t telling the whole truth either. "Brother, when it’s time to divide the territory, having too many people will make things difficult," he added, his mind already drifting to how they would divide the spoils.
"Don’t worry. All I want is 250,000 square kilometers. I won’t build cities or engage in commerce. I just need the resources in this area, both above and below ground." Yang Bo was claiming this territory on behalf of Iron Bull.
"Okay, you can pick first when the time comes," Third Huang said with an agreeable nod. He breathed a sigh of relief. A 500-kilometer square area wasn’t large at all—in fact, it was quite modest.
Third Huang returned to his group and briefed them on the arrangement, leaving everyone with a clear understanding of the plan.
The treasure exchange convention began. Shortly after dawn, the Mutant leaders set up their stalls, cursing and complaining about the Ash Organization’s refusal to offer any guarantees. Many of the solo Mutants were growing impatient; they felt they had already wasted too much time here. Since they hadn’t suffered any personal losses in the recent incident, they were naturally reluctant to stick around any longer.
The person in charge of the Ash Organization also emerged, along with representatives from various major factions and institutions. Many people had flocked to the event because this was a huge boon—taking these items back meant their value would increase at least a hundredfold.
Deep within the Ash Organization’s base, an ordinary-looking young man wearing Battle Armor stepped out of a restroom. He casually pulled the door shut behind him, and it automatically locked from the inside. This ensured that anyone else coming to use the restroom would assume it was occupied. Fortunately, most people were currently outside hunting for treasures anyway.
The young man wasn’t wearing a Helmet. The on-duty guards glanced at him briefly before losing interest and looking away.
Reaching out, the young man opened a door secured by an old-fashioned mechanical lock. It gave way with a loud CLANG.
The corridor inside branched out in all directions. He navigated the passages until he arrived at a Laser Cannon battery, where two young men in Battle Armor were chatting idly.
"Bobbi, what are you doing here?" they asked as they watched him walk in.
"I’m going treasure hunting after my shift. I wonder if they’ll leave anything good for us?" the young man asked, casually leaning against some nearby equipment.
"Damn it."
"Shit."
"Why are we so unlucky? Let’s hope those Mutants ran into trouble on the way and got delayed," the two young men in the battery cursed angrily.
"Yeah. Should we go together later?" Bobbi continued.
"Of course."
The young man, Bobbi, strolled through every cannon battery on the base, inviting everyone to go treasure hunting at the Mutants’ market after their shifts. In reality, when Yang Bo had casually leaned against the equipment earlier, he had covertly used Metal Control to deform certain small components or fuse them together. For a highly precise instrument like a Laser Cannon, one ruined small part was enough to render the whole thing useless.
Moreover, Yang Bo had tampered with far more than just a single component.
After completing his rounds, Bobbi left the cannon battery area. The guards at the entrance watched him go, looking utterly bored.
First, he headed to the warehouse. There was an elevator here connecting the upper and lower floors, so he destroyed it immediately. Then, as he stepped out, he locked the door from the inside. Unless someone smashed it open by brute force, it wasn’t going to open.
"Hey, you shouldn’t be here!" When Yang Bo arrived at the Main Energy Room, the two guards saw that he was wearing their uniform and shouted at him, pointing their fingers aggressively.
Yang Bo responded with the universal middle-finger gesture. The two guards, both piloting Mechas, were furious. One of them piloted his machine forward, intending to teach Yang Bo a lesson.
In the next second, a Ninth Generation Mecha materialized out of nowhere and executed an instantaneous Charge.
Mecha Pilot +8!
Neither of the guards’ Mechas had activated any Weapon systems, nor had they engaged their Energy Protection Systems. The Mecha that sought to teach Yang Bo a lesson had its cockpit pierced straight through by a single punch from Yang Bo’s Mecha.
The second guard’s Mecha was pinned violently against the wall by the immense impact. A split second later, a five-meter-long Mecha Energy Weapon skewered its cockpit.
Mecha Pilot +8!
Inside the cockpit, the Mecha Master watched helplessly as the bizarre-looking assailant slowly transformed into an identical copy of his own Mecha before his vision faded to black.
Yang Bo hopped out of his Mecha and opened the door to the Main Energy Room in less than five seconds. Purely mechanical locks certainly had their advantages. He dragged the two disabled Mechas inside. With a thought, a massive, pitch-black Bone Hammer appeared in his Mecha’s hands.
BOOM!
The massive Energy Reaction Pod in the center of the Main Energy Room sank half a meter into the floor.
"Haha, awesome!" Yang Bo hadn’t expected the Hammer to wield such immense Power with the Gravity bonus. When the Mecha swung the Bone Hammer down, he fully activated the Gravity Field. It pulled from below and pressed down from above, acting as two massive sources of Power accelerating the strike. Coupled with the Bone Hammer’s inherent Gravity bonus, the force was absolutely devastating.
Deafening sirens instantly blared throughout the entire base. Most of the lights shorted out, leaving only a few battery-powered emergency lights flickering in the gloom.
BOOM!
Yang Bo smashed the pod a second time. He then piloted the Mecha out of the main control room doors, using Metal Control to fuse the locks tight behind him. Nothing short of violent destruction would open them now.
Transforming the Mecha back into its Biological Mecha form, Yang Bo stored it away. His ability to pull a Mecha out of thin air was a trump card that had to be kept strictly secret.
Piercing sirens echoed endlessly through the base, drawing on the alarm system’s built-in emergency power supply. It functioned much like fire emergency lights on Earth—each unit had its own battery and would keep wailing until it was individually destroyed.
Yang Bo quickly blended into the crowd of base personnel sprinting for the exits. The facility had already lost all main power. The central Energy System was utterly ruined, and the backup system didn’t seem to be kicking in either.
Arriving at the lobby near the exit, Yang Bo didn’t rush outside blindly. Instead, he lingered on the sidelines, waiting for the right moment. He still wasn’t sure where the enemy’s designated escape route was. If it was located inside the base, the person in charge would definitely retreat back inside. If their escape route was outside, it would be even easier to handle!
Outside, Third Huang and his crew had strategically chosen a spot near the entrance to the Underworld for their trade. The moment they heard the sirens blaring from within the Ash Organization’s base, they instantly turned tail and dashed into the underground passage, completely abandoning their goods.
Seeing this, the rest of the Mutants quickly followed suit and fled.
Meanwhile, the people from the Ash Organization were left somewhat dazed. Did something happen inside the base? Panic quickly set in, and they frantically sprinted back toward the facility. No matter what, they couldn’t afford to be left outside to face the Mutants.
From their hiding spot, Third Huang and the others watched nervously as the humans from the Alliance frantically rushed into the base, just as the personnel inside the base swarmed outward.
Just as Third Huang’s group crouched by the Underworld entrance, utterly confused by the chaos, a dense barrage of Lasers suddenly rained down from the sky. The Mutants in the Celestial Pit who hadn’t managed to escape in time were blasted into flaming ash.
A silver Spaceship descended from the heavens, accompanied by a booming voice broadcasted over a loudspeaker: "Everyone from the Alliance, board the Spaceship! Board the Spaceship!"
"Mother***," Third Huang and the others cursed profusely upon seeing the ship, scrambling even deeper underground to seek cover.
"Brothers, get ready to hit them hard when the time comes," Third Huang barked. Cold sweat rolled down the faces of those who knew the inside story. If it hadn’t been for Yang Bo’s early warning, they would have been dead just now.
