Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Terrifying Combat Power
"Boss?" Third Huang’s subordinates looked at the spaceship outside, turning their suspicious gazes toward their leader. Had their boss lost his mind?
By this time, about a dozen mutant leaders had gathered. Cripple Liu inhaled sharply. "Third Huang, I’ve got to hand it to you."
"Heh heh, just luck."
"Third Huang, we’ll have to be more careful from now on. The Alliance is no good either."
"Naturally. We’ll watch each other’s backs from now on," Third Huang replied. He certainly didn’t trust the Alliance. Building a city on the surface was fine, but he still intended to live underground. Otherwise, wandering around up there would just make him a sitting duck.
Right at that moment, a powerful shock wave suddenly blasted through. The surging air currents swept into the underworld, sending many mutants flying.
"The Alliance Fleet has made their move." Third Huang’s heart sank as he watched a blinding ray of sunlight pierce into the Celestial Pit.
An unmanned warplane roared over the top of the Celestial Pit, dropping two massive shock wave bombs. The blast violently dispersed the clouds and mist filling the pit.
In the sky, hundreds of thousands of kilometers above, the King Kong-class main battle ship—though missing a section—remained a formidable presence in this airspace.
A warship’s strength wasn’t determined by its size, but by its energy system, defense system, the power of its laser cannons, the captain’s capability, and the number of warplanes and mechas it carried.
When the spaceship’s laser cannons fired in unison at the bottom of the Celestial Pit, the warship detected it immediately. The captain swiftly issued an order for the nearest unmanned warplane to bomb the Celestial Pit and clear the mist so they could see what was happening below.
A portion of the planetary warning system had been repaired, transmitting clear footage to the warship. Although the system had been heavily damaged, the warship had brought along maintenance robots. While collecting debris from the warship for materials, the robots automatically conducted repairs day and night. Given enough materials, even the missing unit modules of the King Kong-class warship could be repaired.
The captain frowned at the spaceship inside the Celestial Pit, a faint trace of disgust flashing across her face before she issued another order.
The unmanned warplane circled once and departed. No matter how powerful a nation was, behind its glamorous facade, there were always shady, unmentionable dealings. Take the Green Demon Star, for instance: although it had been taken over by the military, certain spaceships still possessed special transit privileges. This spaceship was one of them, as it possessed a valid transit code.
The captain could even see individuals swarming to board the spaceship, which measured three hundred meters long and a hundred meters wide, as well as streaks of lasers flashing by.
"Trash." The female captain shook her head as she watched the spaceship. For a modified piece of junk like this, a single wave of unmanned warplanes would be enough to finish it off. However, to the mechas and mutants, it was an unfathomably powerful existence.
Suddenly, the female captain’s eyes widened. She saw a mutant abruptly appear at the top of the Celestial Pit, wielding an incredibly exaggerated hammer.
"Is there something wrong with that mutant’s head?"
"Seriously. There’s a spaceship down there."
"Right? What is he thinking?"
Inside the warship’s main control room, many people who witnessed this scene were somewhat stunned.
This person was none other than Yang Bo. He had originally been inside the Ash Organization’s base, wanting to see where their escape route led. He hadn’t expected it to actually be hidden within the clouds and mist of the Celestial Pit.
He had quickly used his invisibility to slip out. At that time, the mist still blanketed the top of the Celestial Pit. The spaceship was massive, and positioned below it were three warship-grade laser cannons. Yang Bo had the opportunity to sneak onto the spaceship while invisible, but that would make things difficult to explain later. How could a mere mutant get inside the spaceship? Did he possess some special superpower?
Of course, if he killed everyone on board, it wouldn’t be an issue. Additionally, there were quite a few mutants in the surrounding underworld. They would also wonder how he managed to sneak in. So, Yang Bo simply maintained his invisibility and rushed to the top of the Celestial Pit as fast as he could, preparing to launch a surprise attack from above the mist...
But when he arrived, he realized things had gone sideways. Where did all the mist over the Celestial Pit go? Was it related to the noise he had just heard?
Then came a piece of good news: there were no laser cannons on the top of the spaceship.
Thus, he hurriedly retreated to where he had emerged, disguised himself as a mutant wearing battle armor, grabbed his several-meter-long bone hammer, and leaped down.
The Celestial Pit was nearly fifteen hundred meters deep, while the modified spaceship hovered at an altitude of about thirty meters. It automatically identified those trying to board; its attack and defense systems were entirely automated.
Inside the spaceship, the person in charge of the Ash Organization calmly observed the various data streams—the information on those boarding, as well as the surrounding terrain. As for the bombs the warship had just dropped, the person in charge was utterly dismissive of them.
"Three more minutes." The person in charge noted that they could evacuate in three minutes at most.
Moreover, the very first thing these evacuees had to do upon boarding the spaceship was put on a specific type of collar designed to suppress the abilities of superpower users. The person in charge of the Ash Organization didn’t know what kind of incident had occurred inside the base, so they had defensive measures in place. Anyone unwilling to wear the collar was barred from boarding the spaceship.
Right at that moment, alarms blared throughout the spaceship. The person in charge of the Ash Organization could only watch as a mutant plummeted toward the top of the spaceship like a bolt of lightning.
The person in charge quickly issued orders, feeling a jolt of shock. After all, there was a warning system above the Celestial Pit as well. How did this guy just appear out of nowhere?
A laser cannon immediately popped up on top of the spaceship, but it was too late. The laser cannon took half a second to fully deploy, and unfortunately for them, Yang Bo had already arrived.
With his skin metalization fully activated and the battle armor equipped on top of that, Yang Bo possessed immense physical resilience. The instant he leaped into the Celestial Pit, he had applied anti-gravity to himself—a gravity traction field in the front and an anti-gravity field in the back.
Like a projectile fired from an electromagnetic cannon, Yang Bo closed the distance to the spaceship in less than half a second. The bone hammer in his hands smashed ruthlessly into the emerging laser cannon.
The emerging laser cannon visibly crumpled, sinking significantly upon impact.
"PFFT!" Aboard the King Kong-class battleship, one of the control room staff members who witnessed this scene spat out a mouthful of water. That was a laser cannon! What kind of structural integrity did it have underneath? Was it made of tofu?
The instant Yang Bo’s feet touched the spaceship, he utilized the unique traits of his Mechanician skill to acquire information on the entire vessel.
Ear-piercing alarms shrilled within the spaceship. The person in charge of the Ash Organization stared at the alert on the virtual screen: the laser cannon had actually been damaged.
It was highly unlikely for Yang Bo to gain authorization access to the spaceship right now—even if he could, he wouldn’t know how—but he could use his abilities to identify the vessel’s weak points.
Following his initial downward strike, he swung his hammer at the spaceship’s laser cannon again. This time, it was a lateral blow. The laser cannon was sent flying, crashing into the stone wall and embedding itself deeply into the rock.
Everyone in the command room of the King Kong-class warship was dumbfounded.
"He’s got to be A-grade, right?"
"I’d say A+."
Then, in the very next second, an even more terrifying sight unfolded. The mutant struck out viciously with his hammer once more, actually smashing a gaping hole into the hull of the spaceship, before jumping straight into the breach.
The crew of the King Kong-class warship shuddered at the mere thought of such a terrifying monster breaching their own vessel!
"That was a maintenance shaft," someone spoke up.
"And a maintenance shaft is just supposed to be that easily shattered?" another retorted, unconvinced.
