Just as Ding Meng was about to launch his counterattack, there was a loud bang in the middle of the hall without any warning. A bright light shone from the center of the hall. The light was so bright that the human eye could not withstand it. Little Four could only see a bright light in front of his eyes. He could not see anything, and his head was dizzy. He could not help but cover his eyes and fall to the ground.
This thing was none other than one of the mercenaries' tactical equipment — the Condensed Energy Amplification Dazzle Bullet. It was a light, non-lethal weapon that used strong light to obstruct the target's vision.
Machine Gun was really cunning. He pretended to be shocked, but in reality, he had secretly turned on the Dazzle Bullet's switch with his other hand and secretly threw it behind himself. The moment the bullet exploded, the dagger in his hand had already slashed out.
It was not a real alloy dagger, but its sharpness was no worse than an alloy dagger. Just like Leopard's Lightsaber, it was also his trump card. He would not use it unless he was in a critical situation.
But his tricks were nothing in front of Ding Meng. If his telekinetic vision could be blinded by a small Dazzle Bullet, then an Origin Ability user would be too weak to withstand a single blow.
The dagger that was slashing forward suddenly stopped in mid-air because the T-shaped claw blade had arrived first. The curved blade hooked onto Machine Gun's inner wrist bone like lightning. Machine Gun suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain from his wrist. He could not hold onto the dagger at all, and it fell to the ground in an instant.
There was a crisp sound, like a cloth being torn apart. The claw blade did not stop. It went along his arm, cutting through the tendons of his forearm, the tendons of his elbow, his biceps, his shoulder blade … It completely cut his arm open, and finally, it stabbed into his neck.
Machine Gun's eyeballs bulged out like a dead fish. "You …"
He was in the same situation as Leopard. Even now, he still could not believe that this was real. But he was in a worse state than Leopard. At least Leopard could clearly see the thing in Ding Meng's hand, but he could not see anything.
Ding Meng was never one to beat around the bush when dealing with his enemies. Before Machine Gun could finish his sentence, Ding Meng decisively pulled back his hand. With another sharp sound, Machine Gun's neck was completely cut open. His corpse fell backward, spraying blood like rain.
In the past six years, his life had indeed not been easy, but his death had been extremely easy. He had not shown any mercy to the other laborers, but he had never imagined that one day, he would actually die in the hands of a laborer. Moreover, he had been mercilessly killed.
Only then did Little Four's vision return to normal. He stared at the corpse on the ground in shock. He was even more shocked than Machine Gun Leopard and the others, and even more in disbelief.
"Brother … Brother Ding," Xiao Si asked while trembling, "You … Are you really … an esper?"
"Yes." After a moment of silence, Ding Meng finally admitted. He did not want to hide anything from Xiao Si.
Little Four's eyes lit up, but then suddenly dimmed, as if he wanted to say something, but was unable to open his mouth.
Ding Meng suddenly said, "Xiao Si, wait for me at the exit. We'll leave together later."
"Brother Ding, what about you?" Little Four asked anxiously.
Ding Meng did not have time to answer. His eyes were fixed on the door of the laboratory, and the sonorous sound of mechanical footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor.
It was not that he did not want to escape, but he knew that he could not escape now. Since Machine Gun Leopard had suddenly turned against him, it meant that the mercenaries were about to arrive. However, Ding Meng believed that the main force would not be able to arrive so quickly. He guessed that the more powerful leaders would be coming.
If he escaped through the exit corridor now, they would immediately be on his tail. Instead of wasting his energy on escaping, it was better to stay where he was and deal with the pursuers first.
A day ago, Ding Meng definitely did not have this kind of confidence. However, after absorbing the essence for a day, Ding Meng was confident that he was not afraid of any ordinary person in the base.
However, he still underestimated the determination of the ambush mercenaries because what appeared at the exit was a single power armor. It was a type of combat armor made of low-grade alloy and equipped with various tactical weapons and intelligent systems. It was like a layer of steel armor. If an ordinary person was equipped with it, their combat power would increase tremendously.
"Cha … Cha … Cha …" The newcomer slowly took a few steps forward, as if he was also shocked by the sight of the corpses on the ground.
Ding Meng looked through the defensive light glass layer in the center of the armor and found that the person who was equipped with this thing was … Sadler.
He was no stranger to Sadler. He had seen that whip many times. Not only did he know how ruthless and terrifying Sadler was, but he also knew that Sadler was actually Vader's direct subordinate. If there were no special circumstances, Vader would not let Sadler go out easily.
However, since Sadler had appeared here, Ding Meng knew that this was not a small matter.
Little Rascal's voice suddenly rang out. "Ding Meng, he has an ion scanning eye on his shoulder. He must be maintaining a signal transmission with the outside world. If you really want to fight with him, you must find a way to destroy it. Otherwise, we will be in big trouble."
Little Rascal's judgment was not wrong. At this moment, in the command center hall on the ground, Julie, the general, and Vader were all sitting on the sofa. The large virtual screen in front of them showed Sadler's first-person perspective. Through the ion scanning eye, they could see the scene in real time.
When he saw the body of the machine gun, the general's face sank. He knew the weight of the machine gun very well. It was not that there were no workers who could kill the machine gun, but to cut open the machine gun's throat in such a strange and cruel way, he really could not think of anyone who could do it.
"This Ding Meng is strange."
The general picked up the communicator and gave Sadler an order. "Switch to conventional weapons mode. Kill anyone who resists on the spot."
The weapons used by the mercenaries in the base were usually in the braking mode. The purpose of this was to make people lose their ability to move, so the bullets were usually needle-type injections. To put it simply, the guns fired syringes that could quickly knock out the workers. The slightly upgraded ones were energy chains, chains, electric chains, net chains, and so on. They did not have any fatal lethality.
However, the conventional weapons mode was different. They were all pure energy bullets. Normal people would die if they came into contact with them.
Sure enough, Sadler slowly raised the large and slender multi-functional standard photoelectric gun on his arm. He stared at Ding Meng and said, "8028, I will give you three chances. Hand over the item, and the base will not only guarantee your safety, but will also treat you well."
Ding Meng appeared very calm. "Memory chip?"
Sadler said, "Hand it over. You can raise any requests you have. The base will consider your legitimate requests."
Ding Meng said without hesitation, "If I hand it over, will the general allow me to leave the base safely?"
Sadler said, "No problem. The general can hear your request right now. He has already agreed to it."
"Okay." Ding Meng immediately pointed at the body of the machine gun on the ground. "The memory chip is on him."
Hearing this, the head of the armor immediately lowered slightly. The probe at the top began to emit distorted rays and began to scan the body. Almost at the same time, Ding Meng suddenly kicked out. The drill torch under his feet flew toward Sadler's face like a missile.
Sadler was still able to react even though he had been tricked. He quickly raised his photoelectric gun, and a string of bead-like energy shot out from the muzzle. The bullets hit the drill welding gun with a loud bang, and the drill welding gun was smashed into pieces. A dazzling ball of light instantly exploded, and the center of the hall was set ablaze with a raging fire …
