180: Chapter 162 Battery 180: Chapter 162 Battery It wasn’t just idle talk when Lu Ping’an volunteered. He had a significant advantage against such large, constructed magic monsters, especially when Brother Xue En was still a mortal-born Fighter. “Spread.” The seldom used “Branch Expansion” command was particularly effective against large creatures. A large amount of tentacles spread out, trying to wrap around the metal behemoth. “Boom!” With one collision, some tentacles were torn apart. But the next moment, numerous tentacles entwined it again. The behemoth still tried to struggle, but Lu Ping’an saw through it all. His arm waved in the air, and a large amount of tentacles made precise twists. Although this was Lu Ping’an’s first encounter with a mechanical spirit, he’d learned the strategies from various sources and had repeatedly simulated them. “First, remove points of force, disrupt its normal movement… Annoying tentacles either pulled or laid underneath, isolating the truck’s four wheels, two mechanical supports, and direct contact with the ground. Even an “activated” mechanical creation still relied on its own structure’s specific force points. Compared to natural creatures like humans, its twisted wheels and mechanical arms were relatively fragile and unprotected. “Bzzz! Beep beep!” The lifted truck’s wheels blindly spun in anxiety, unable to move a bit. The original civilian truck’s mechanical setup lacked effective combat modules even after being forcibly twisted. It might be frightening when it charges, but with just wheels swinging, it’s just a large toy. But then, an even stranger scene happened: the truck’s underbelly began to disintegrate, forming metal supports as its limbs. “Beep beep!” The behemoth hastily roared as it stepped on the ground, but it didn’t notice that everything in front of it would soon be gone. Muttering under his breath, Lu Ping’an appeared under the truck, just where the “long-legged” chassis had just come out. The behemoth instinctively felt something was wrong. Its continuous “beeping” roars went unanswered, and it didn’t have the function to lower its head. It was too late. “…Then, force it to transform, which not only consumes a lot but exposes its weaknesses. After all, it’s just a mindless beast.” The young man brandished his War Scythe and pierced through the exposed, vulnerable armor with a single swing! “Beep beep beep!” The high-speed horn was very disturbing. It sensed danger, but everything had happened too quickly. “Finally, and most importantly, after stripping its resistance and defense, it’s time to completely finish it off by stripping away and destroying its mutated energy source… this should be it, right?” Lu Ping’an’s Spirit Vision was fully activated, and with a swing of his War Scythe, the “high-pollution substance” was split in two. The fragile iron layer couldn’t stop the Taboo weapon. With another swing, it sliced through the pipelines connecting it to its surroundings. The next moment, the newly born metal monster was silenced, turning into a pile of scrap iron. At the same time, Xue En completed his rescue mission, bringing the unconscious driver out. It took less than half a minute to finish the battle. Only then did the colleagues from the police station swarm out. Some were dumbfounded when they saw the scene. “Damn, an accident happened right out the door. It’s a historical record.” “Give me money, give me money, the Banker is taking all bets!” The voices mingled in the crowd, creating a strange atmosphere. ———- ———- After this incident, Lu Ping’an’s patrol was briefly suspended. A small meeting was held within the Special Service Team to inform everyone of the latest situation. “It was discovered by the Original Blue District next door. Their Special Service Team One found it during a search mission. They intercepted a large part, but at least a dozen batteries had been gifted and flowed into the civilian sector. By now, it’s almost time for them to erupt.” “Didn’t they stop it? Or broadcast something?” “They did, broadcasting ‘dangerous batteries claiming not to require fuel are dangerous goods that can cause numerous casualties.’ They asked people to turn them in voluntarily. As a result, they received a bunch of inquiries and attempts to buy them.” Xia Qin rubbed her temples. Each time she read this kind of information, she felt there might be too many fools in this world, leaving even scammers short-handed. Due to the abundance of super-powered items in this world, the acceptance rate of “free batteries” was astonishingly high. Many people, despite being suspicious of their potential danger, still tried them with the mentality that “trying can’t hurt” and “the broadcast is definitely lying.” In a way, this was just a “minor issue.” Compared to major problems, unauthorized items and messy things were far less of a concern. These playthings had been inspected, and, if left alone, they would turn into scrap iron in two or three hours. “Is it the Mechanic Spiritualist?” Although Lu Ping’an was only guessing, he was quite assertive. “We can basically confirm it. These are components that have been slightly soaked in ‘pollutants,’ and only Mechanic Spiritualists can make them. Their Profession starts at the fourth-tier up…” Xia Qin wasn’t quite sure; what was the point in involving the Special Service Team’s manpower? Was there any real meaning to these partially incubated, 1-tier magic monster-level mechanical creations that could only run for a few hours? But for now, the most important thing was solving the problem. “Do we need to get involved in this case?” “No need, Team One from next door is in charge. They just called, they’re quite excited, and there should be progress.” For this kind of special case, every case had someone in charge. If the other side didn’t ask for help, there was no need for their team to intervene. Xia Qin just briefly thought and then assigned the next task, her hands full as it was. Things had been busy recently, very busy. Although 95 percent of it was still the same old stuff, the mess caused by cultists had also caused a lot of headaches. Some people still couldn’t help thinking about how the half-finished products thrown out to cause chaos were equal to exposing oneself. Was there something they hadn’t considered? Was this part of a huge conspiracy? As it turned out, not only were the Special Service Team members unclear, but the cultists themselves were not entirely sure either. “Damn! My mass production batteries, the whole warehouse of them! I need them for my next experiments!” “The Sophist took it. He said he needed travel money and didn’t have any cash. He wanted to sell some to get pocket money.” The atmosphere instantly became tense. It was especially tense as they watched the television broadcasting the seized battery warehouse. “Beep.” A text message came back. “He’s not coming back. The stuff didn’t sell, and he’s afraid you’ll kill him.” Then, they broadcasted some accident scenes, urging civilians to turn them in voluntarily. “Boom.” The TV exploded.
