Chapter 108: Target Accomplished

However, Yang Bo didn’t stop. He controlled the mech and left quickly. Just a few minutes after he left, General Black Blade arrived with his men. The general looked at the dead mutants on the ground.

“You damn fool, chase him!” General Black Blade flew into a rage and led the chase himself. The people who were killed were supposed to be his support, all members of his tribe, who were meant to transport the loot back home.

Some of the materials were to be sent to the forge to make energy suits and such. Unexpectedly, they had encountered the mech here. It’s rare to meet anyone in the Underground World.

Over a hundred mutants followed General Black Blade, madly chasing after Yang Bo.

“I remember there’s lava around here somewhere… where is it?” Yang Bo controlled the mech while monitoring radar data and environmental information.

Yes, Yang Bo planned to drop the mech into the lava to destroy all evidence. His ability to control the mech had to remain a secret.

As for that female officer, let her guess all she wants. Without evidence, it’s all just speculation.

Besides, I’m nobody myself, so no one can track me down anyway.

After all, the planet’s such a mess. Could be pirates, the fleet, or even mutants. Who knows who’s who?

Soon, the mech’s detectors picked up traces of lava. Lava releases harmful gases, which spread towards the surface through the passageways.

Yang Bo expertly navigated the mech through the Underground World at blazing speed. By now, he was extremely familiar with this environment.

There were also trails visible in the underground passages. Large paths frequently traveled by animals or people were easy to spot, while those without tracks were generally dead ends.

The level of harmful substances in the air increased, making Yang Bo even more excited. When the concentration became high enough, he suddenly spotted a distant light ahead. The mech leaped forward!

The next second, Yang Bo was shocked. There was a lava lake, but nearby, over a hundred mutants appeared to be crafting something.

Yang Bo immediately activated the auto-attack mode of the laser cannon. Its attack frequency could reach hundreds of shots per second in auto mode, depending on the energy readings of the target. It could even fire thousands of shots per second against small targets like birds or mice.

As for the mutants, they used to be citizens of the Alliance. But what do they have to do with me now? If I reveal myself, they won’t treat me like one of their own. That’s ridiculous.

The mutants were stunned, too. Why was there an Alliance mech here? In the next second, several mutants were hit by the laser cannon, while the rest quickly took cover.

Forging skill +2!

Forging skill +8!

Forging skill +2!

………………..

A string of notifications left Yang Bo confused. After a closer look, it seemed like they were forging energy suits.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the mech’s alarm blared. On instinct, Yang Bo yanked the control stick and activated the jetpack. The mech leapt towards the lava lake!

“Damn it!” Yang Bo landed on a black stone on the other side of the lava lake. Looking back, he saw over a hundred mutants wearing energy suits. Some of them even had biomechanical mechs. Unlike human mechs, these retained biological features! “Aaaah!” General Black Blade screamed in fury, seeing the scene before him. This was the most hidden location where his tribe forged energy suits. How did this guy find it?

Yang Bo saw the situation, made his mech leap again, and landed on a small platform above the lava lake. He opened the mech’s cockpit once he was safely on it.

Then, with his entire body turned to metal, he placed his hand on the mech. He controlled it to step back, and the massive machine fell into the lava with a thud.

Yang Bo quickly turned invisible and slipped into a passage above the platform. Clearly, this was an important base for the mutant tribe.

General Black Blade glanced at the mech above the lava lake, ready to attack, when the mech suddenly jumped, forcing him to hide. The laser cannon was incredibly powerful.

The next second, the mech fell into the lava, leaving General Black Blade utterly stunned.

“General! It’s bad! Our tribe was attacked! All our people and belongings have been stolen!” Just as Black Blade was in a daze, someone yelled from the passageway.

General Black Blade exploded in anger upon hearing this. “Who?! Who infiltrated our tribe?!”

“We couldn’t see clearly. The intruders were strong. They knew our defenses well. Our guards barely reacted before being overwhelmed. They took everything and fled, and we didn’t dare chase them!”

“The tribe suffered a huge loss this time. Our energy metal warehouse and energy stone storage were completely emptied. Some young women were taken, and those who resisted were killed.” The man spoke urgently.

General Black Blade nearly fainted when he heard this. Energy metal and energy stones were valuable commodities!

He didn’t even bother with the deceased or checking why Yang Bo’s mech fell into the lava.

Yang Bo stayed invisible as he made his way through the underground passageways. This time, he followed the flow of air and headed to the surface.

The heat from the lava lake dispersed through the passageways, gradually rising towards the surface. Following this warm airflow, Yang Bo could escape the area.

“I wonder if any of those invisible rats survived. Should I catch a few to breed?”

“If I recall, rats breed once a month. I wonder how often those invisible rats do?”

“The invisibility skill is hard to grind. Electric Power control should be easier to improve though. I should focus on that first.”

“If these mutants are forging energy suits, that’d be amazing. Maybe I should find a chance to try them out.”

“I wonder if this planet has any rare specialties that would fetch a high price in the Alliance. I should check if I can bring some back when I return.”

“Speaking of Iron Bull, his superpower is impressive. How did he get his ability? Should I get some of his blood? Metal attenuation is a nightmare for tech products!”
