Four large excavator mechs dug a huge pit in the ground. Two of them were already destroyed, and one was immobilized with its digging arm broken. The remaining one was still stubbornly digging.

A massive hole appeared at the bottom of the pit, with light flashing from within. It was underground mechs firing.

"How dare you cause trouble on our turf? Leave none alive, destroy them all!"

Instantly, a combat plan appeared in Zhang Hao's soul. This was transmitted by Mi Feng, received in real-time. It was a soul-linked transmission, only possible for those with a bridgehead and soul intelligence. This method of team combat was unique to their faction.

Mi Feng's tactic was simple: he would handle one heavy mech fortress, Zhang Hao would handle another, Zhang Yihu would protect Zhang Hao, and Zhang Erhu and Zhang Shanhu would handle one heavy mech. Their role was just to stall; they didn't need to destroy it. Even though they were strong, they were only two people.

Zhang Hao picked up his electromagnetic sniper cannon. He didn't feel much burden in this kind of battle, as he wasn't killing people, just mechs.

As soon as Mi Feng's plan was transmitted, he charged down from the mountain. Zhang Erhu and Zhang Shanhu's mechs rushed towards another flank, while Mi Feng targeted the furthest heavy mech.

He half-crouched, raised his electromagnetic sniper cannon, and activated full detection.

Instantly, the detection zoomed in. There were sixty-seven mechs in total, and one heavy fortress mech. Zhang Hao was surprised to see red dots appear inside the mech, indicating active control robots.

He quickly selected armor-piercing rounds and fired. Instantly, one red dot extinguished. He fired ten armor-piercing rounds in rapid succession, at a rate of two per second, then the entire heavy mech was paralyzed.

Mi Feng was more brutal. He charged straight through, and the enemy's communication channels exploded with shouts.

[Enemy attack! Enemy attack!]

[Engage!]

[Wow, a humanoid mech!]

Since no lives were involved, they were all warriors on the killing planet. At most, they would lose a mech, and no one was afraid. At most, they would feel heartache over the money. A mech was very valuable, and losing one would be a severe blow. However, this place was a bit different. A wealthy patron had organized this event, and half the cost of lost mechs would be reimbursed. Immediately, about a dozen mechs rushed forward to engage.

Just as he was about to get close, Mi Feng drew his light saber and accelerated sharply! The mechs that tried to block him were stunned. They didn't even have time to react before eight mechs were instantly shattered, along with the robots controlling them. This was a significant loss.

The communication channels erupted in exclamations.

[God-tier expert!]

[Heavens, it's a mech pilot from the Secret Workshop!]

[Retreat! Retreat! Don't block him!]

[I'll be damned... they're all shattered...]

[Bastard!]

[It's over, my mech, ahhh, my login robot is shattered too!]

A chorus of wails.

Although they weren't afraid of death, no one wanted to block a mech they couldn't resist. It wasn't fear of death, but reluctance to part with their mechs and robots.

One mech had already fled to the mountain when its communication was suddenly interrupted. A nearby mech exclaimed, "Whoa, someone's sniping!" As the words echoed in the communication channel, it too was taken out by a single shot.

Zhang Hao destroyed the heavy mech he was responsible for and then began sniping at the mechs trying to escape. This was also Mi Feng's command: if they dared to poach in their territory, they would be wiped out.

Zhang Yihu said, "A mech is coming!" As he spoke, he darted out. His mission was to protect Zhang Hao from close-range interference.

Zhang Hao fired shot after shot, at an average pace of one shot per second, entering a crazy sniping mode.

In less than five minutes, all enemy mechs were eliminated. Zhang Hao sighed, "It was so easy."

Mi Feng said, "Their mechs weren't good enough. It's normal to be crushed."

No enemy mechs escaped. In the space above this area, the Secret Workshop had hundreds of satellites, and everything happening on the ground was being monitored clearly.

Zhang Hao disliked killing, but this long-range sniping mode was quite exhilarating for him. It was like shooting at moving targets, nothing too difficult.

Immediately after, a large flying mech arrived, carrying hundreds of mechs. Upon reaching its destination, it quickly deployed the mechs. The flying mech then rapidly deployed a light screen, immediately blocking any prying eyes from the sky.

Next, an engineering mech was deployed. It was here to collect the damaged mechs.

With the appearance of these engineering mechs, there would essentially be no remnants left on the ground. Every part of a mech was valuable, and even recycling them as materials would be profitable.

Mi Feng returned with Zhang Erhu and Zhang Shanhu. He said, "There are indeed crystal life forms underground. We've made a killing this time."

Zhang Hao asked, "Are we going down?"

Mi Feng replied, "No need. There are specialized teams to deal with the crystal life forms. It would be detrimental for us to go down; our attack power is too strong, and the soul crystals harvested would be discounted."

Next, Zhang Hao saw mech warriors placing large boxes by the hole and opening their lids. Countless foot-long mech ants appeared, quickly forming a torrent that flowed into the hole.

A few mechs followed them down. These were ant-shaped mechs, but they were quite large, the smallest being three meters long and the largest six meters. They led a large group of ant mechs into the underground.

Zhang Hao could access information from below. A total of over 30,000 small ant mechs entered, controlled by a few large ant mechs.

Mi Feng said, "It's done. Let's go back!"

Zhang Hao really wanted to see how the little ants fought the crystal life forms, but Mi Feng was impatient. He had probably seen it too many times.

Mi Feng ran towards the base. Zhang Hao sighed inwardly and followed, also running back.

Returning to the main bridgehead of their hometown, the transfer this time cost a considerable amount of resources, but fortunately, Mi Feng didn't care.

Zhang Hao brought his robot back and returned to his cloned body. This made Zhang Hao once again taste extreme pain and extreme pleasure.

On the killing planet, Zhang Hao had almost gotten used to his robot body and the omnipotence of controlling mechs. When he returned to his own body, he felt unaccustomed again, making him feel incredibly weak.

Zhang Hao slept for three days and three nights before he finally recovered. His body and soul gradually adjusted.

This time, Mi Feng also brought back his robot, so he used the robot for movement. Of course, this robot couldn't ride airplanes or high-speed trains; it couldn't pass security checks at all. The day after returning, Mi Feng obtained his own identity card.

Mi Feng told Zhang Hao that he had already begun establishing his transportation network on Blue Star. Short-distance teleportation. They had obtained a large amount of resources from the killing planet, and building the Blue Star transportation network became the next step.

The next day, Wu Renbao arrived at Yuanshan Villa.

Mi Feng talked with him for a long time before he left. When he departed, he was wearing a string of beads on his wrist.
