163: The manufacturing center was raided, but the blueprints were nowhere to be found.

"Screech—"

Outside the gate, a transport vehicle pulled to a stop.

"Brother Mork, it's hazy ahead, I can't see anything."

The young goblin rolled down the window, poked his head out, and looked forward.

This was his first delivery, and he was nervous, unsure if this situation was normal.

In the passenger seat, another goblin yawned and glanced up:

"It's just fog. Hurry up and finish this delivery, then we can go back to sleep."

Fog at night was normal; these rookies were always making a fuss.

If it weren't for this kid being curious about this and that on the way, they wouldn't be arriving now.

"Oh, okay."

The young goblin started the vehicle and slowly drove into the park.

Inside the cargo hold, a human squad was lurking.

It was the Shadow Skimming Squad, who had finally infiltrated Tiangong City after overcoming countless hardships.

"Captain, we're about to enter the park."

A team member whispered, unable to hide his excitement.

They had already found out that the blueprints for the main battle mechs were inside the park.

Once they got them, they would receive twenty million spirit crystals.

By then... "Prepare to act!"

The captain nodded, giving the order.

The team members activated their stealth equipment, their figures turning into shadows and disappearing...

At the park entrance.

"Old Ape, it's all yours."

Wang Ledian watched the transport vehicle drive in, casually twisting open a bottle of happy water.

Just one vehicle, Li Hongyang alone could handle it.

That guy was full of energy; if he wasn't given something to do, he'd probably go Cultivate again.

Li Hongyang didn't say a word, but his movements were clean and precise.

"Bang bang—"

With two muffled thuds, the goblins were knocked out and thrown into his Inner World.

Just as he was about to put away the vehicle, the rear compartment suddenly opened, and several dark figures darted out.

It was the Shadow Skimming Squad hidden in the cargo hold.

However, they hadn't run far before they were stopped by Net Spiders ambushing them from all sides.

Overwhelming spider silk shot out, enveloping the entire area.

Entangled in the spider silk, the figures revealed themselves to be human.

"Stop, big shot, we're on your side!"

"Oh, it's fellow travelers!"

Wang Ledian ran over, sizing up the group.

These people were covered in colorful paint and mud, looking quite disheveled.

"Is there a special meaning to your getup?"

"You have keen eyes, big shot. This is used to interfere with the goblin detection devices."

The Shadow Skimming Captain's face darkened, but he still forced himself to explain.

They were truly unlucky. After painstakingly evading goblin searches, they fell into the hands of their own kind.

Since the other party controlled the park entrance, there were probably more people inside.

搶奪圖紙估計是沒戲了，現在只能想辦法保命. (It seems grabbing the blueprints is out of the question; now we can only try to save our lives.)

"Big shot, we're of the same race. Please let us go."

"We promise to disappear immediately and will never disturb you big shots from making a fortune."

Wang Ledian took a gulp of happy water, smacking his lips:

"No can do, brother. This is a secret operation, we can't let any information leak."

Although being called "big shot" repeatedly made him feel comfortable, principles couldn't be abandoned.

Before he finished speaking, a "rumbling" sound came from afar.

Lin Xingyu had already captured all the goblins and begun summoning treants to sweep the area.

"Secret operation..."

The Shadow Skimming Captain was dumbfounded.

You call this a secret operation?

With such a huge commotion, it could probably be heard several kilometers away, right?

He felt his intelligence being insulted.

"Ahem, don't mind these details."

Wang Ledian waved his hand.

Just as he was about to say something more, Wang Chiyao and Li Hongyang had already rushed out.

"Haha, it's our turn!"

Wang Chiyao was incredibly excited.

They had waited a long time, and now it was finally time for the harvest.

Treants could only gather the spoils together but couldn't put them into an Inner World.

This part of the work needed to be completed by them, as Apostles.

As for the park entrance, it could be left to the Puppet guards.

"Holy crap..."

Wang Ledian quickly ran out, leaving the Shadow Skimming Squad, bound by spider webs, to look at each other in dismay.

"Captain, what should we do?"

A team member looked at the captain, on the verge of tears.

What the hell was this!

They had painstakingly infiltrated, only to be tied up at the entrance and casually thrown on the ground.

This made him feel like a clown.

"Let them finish their work..."

The captain said weakly.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of escaping, but with so many Puppets eyeing them, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, the other party hadn't shown any killing intent yet, so there shouldn't be any danger to their lives... On the other side.

Lin Xingyu and the others were carrying out the sweeping operation.

This operation went very smoothly; all the goblins had been captured and taken into the Inner World, without causing too many casualties.

The production lines in the park were mainly used to manufacture various combat mechs.

Their value far exceeded the production lines of Giant Mine City.

Everyone carefully put the production lines into their Inner World, trying not to damage their original structure.

During this time, goblins driving transport vehicles continuously entered the park, all of whom were dealt with by the Puppets guarding the entrance.

As time passed, the goblins outside gradually discovered the anomaly.

They stopped entering and reported the situation to the City Defense Force.

The City Defense Force reacted quickly, immediately dispatching dozens of mechs to charge into the park.

However, as soon as they entered, they were met with a head-on blow from Explosion Bees.

Amidst violent explosions, these mechs all turned into wreckage, scattered across the ground.

After losing several waves of personnel, the City Defense Force finally realized that this was not something they could handle and immediately reported the matter...

Tiangong City, Council Hall.

"There's a problem at the manufacturing center, and the City Defense Force can't deal with the enemy?"

The Speaker looked at the intelligence handed to him by his subordinate, furious.

The matter of Giant Mine City hadn't been resolved yet, and now the manufacturing center had problems.

This was probably humans causing trouble again!

But this time they had miscalculated; Tiangong City was not Giant Mine City, there were a large number of combat forces here.

"Send the Eighth Legion over and have them eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible!"

The Eighth Legion had just been formed, which was a good opportunity to test their combat effectiveness.

"Yes, Speaker!"

The subordinate took the order and left...

Mech R&D Center, data library.

"Holy crap! Where are the mech blueprints?"

Lin Xingyu looked at the empty room, his face grim.

According to the intelligence obtained earlier, all the data from the manufacturing center was stored here.

However, there wasn't even a single hair here!

Not only were there no paper documents, but even the storage devices had disappeared.

From the traces at the scene, it seemed they had just been moved not long ago.

"Could it have been intercepted?"

Lin Xingyu's mind stirred, and he returned to his Inner World.

He came before the goblins he had just captured and questioned them about the situation.

"Reporting to your Excellency, the Council just sent people to transport the data away."

An old goblin said, trembling.
