Chapter 54 – Looting the Police Station

In this battle, Xiao Wuwang single-handedly took down the Terminator T-800 and secured four additional kills.

After both men collected their respective Supply Crates, they regrouped inside the foundry.

“Brother Xiao, does your earlier offer to sell me that rifle still stand?” Du Yuming asked directly.

“Of course, it depends on what price you’re willing to pay,” Xiao Wuwang replied.

“20 Infinite Coins,” Du Yuming quoted the price he had already considered.

In their region, a Tier 2 rifle typically ranged between 15 to 20 Infinite Coins.

Xiao Wuwang didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he opened the Attribute Panel of the QBU-191 Armor-Piercing Precision Rifle (Modified Type II) and showed it to Du Yuming, saying, “Brother Du, take a look at the attributes before we discuss the price.”

“Damn!” After examining the Attribute Panel, Du Yuming couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. “Weak Point + Armor Penetration! If someone with decent aim hits the Weak Point, they could easily Slay enemies above their level! No wonder you took down that guy with a single shot from such a distance!”

After a brief pause, Du Yuming revised his offer: “This rifle really can’t be priced like an ordinary Tier 2 rifle. How about this—I’ll offer up to 40 Infinite Coins. If you think that’s fair, Brother Xiao, let’s settle on it.”

Du Yuming’s eyes gleamed with intensity, clearly captivated by the rifle, and he had doubled his initial offer without hesitation.

Xiao Wuwang smiled faintly; the offer had already met his expectations. “Deal!” he said.

“Haha! Excellent!” Du Yuming laughed heartily. “Brother, meeting you here has truly been my good fortune! I hope we have the chance to meet again in the future.”

Xiao Wuwang replied, “Perhaps we will!”

With the transaction completed and both men adding each other as friends, Du Yuming left on his own to explore Los Angeles alone.

In truth, he was also giving Xiao Wuwang space to deal with the T-800.

Until the T-800 was completely dealt with, they couldn’t teleport away from this world.

Los Angeles in 1984 didn’t have much worth collecting for Du Yuming.

In this technological world, firearms were naturally the most valuable items, but in Du Yuming’s region, these Tier 0 firearms were already oversaturated, with little demand and low resale value.

His departure was merely to avoid any suspicion.

Xiao Wuwang approached the T-800.

At this moment, the T-800 was still pinned under the forklift, completely immobilized.

The T-800’s chip was hidden in the back of its skull and wouldn’t be exposed unless it opened voluntarily.

To retrieve the chip, Xiao Wuwang would have to rely on brute force.

Fortunately, he had brought the Sharp +2 Shadow Edge Axe with him before leaving.

With the Shadow Edge Axe in hand, Xiao Wuwang swung it at the back of the T-800’s head.

“Bang!”

“Creak!”

A harsh metallic grinding sound echoed.

Xiao Wuwang’s strike sent sparks flying, tearing a gash in the T-800’s hard metal skull!

Seeing hope, Xiao Wuwang swung the axe several more times. Finally, with another fierce strike, he hacked open a hole in the back of the T-800’s skull, revealing the faintly glowing chip inside.

A flicker of delight flashed in Xiao Wuwang’s eyes. He set the axe aside and carefully reached in to retrieve the chip.

The moment the chip was removed, the T-800’s crimson electronic eyes slowly dimmed, and its entire metal body seemed to lose all energy, falling completely still.

At the same moment, a system voice sounded simultaneously in the minds of Xiao Wuwang and Du Yuming.

[Ding!]

[You have completed Camp Core Mission 1 for this Confrontation Platform: Ensure Sarah Connor’s survival. Reward: 50 Infinite Coins;]

[You have completed Camp Core Mission 2 for this Confrontation Platform: Destroy the Terminator T-800. Reward: 50 Infinite Coins;]

[You have slain 4 players from the opposing Camp in this Confrontation Platform. Reward: 40 Infinite Coins.]

[The Camp Core Mission has been completed. You may teleport away at any time before the remaining Station Site duration reaches zero.]

Xiao Wuwang checked the remaining time—still two and a half hours.

He wasn’t in a hurry to return just yet.

Now, his gaze returned to the T-800.

Without its chip controlling it, the T-800 was like an inanimate object. Xiao Wuwang cast an Appraisal Technique on it.

Item Name: Terminator T-800 Mech

Level: Level 3

Quality: Excellent

Durability: 11/160

Trait: Sturdy+2

Description: This Mech is constructed from special alloys, possessing extremely high defensive capabilities; it contains a small-scale nuclear power device enabling self-sufficient and recyclable energy—theoretically capable of operating indefinitely unless fatally damaged, greatly extending the Terminator’s service life and combat effectiveness; its built-in intelligent learning system has powerful learning capabilities, allowing it to continuously analyze the environment and opponents during missions, automatically adjusting tactics and action patterns to handle various unexpected situations (Due to the removal of its internal chip, it has lost mobility. It can be self-activated by installing an Intelligent Chip.)

——————

“Whew~~”

Xiao Wuwang let out a long sigh of relief after reading the description.

He had bet correctly!

As long as the Mech’s Durability remained, he could use the Artisan Workbench to Derive its Blueprint.

He could even directly upgrade it to Level 4 first, then wait until the train reached Level 4 to directly Derive the Blueprint for a Level 4 Mech.

At that point, he could mass-produce Level 4 Mechs!

He wondered if a Level 4 Mech would be a T-1000 or a TX?

Overall, the TX is more technologically advanced, solving the T-1000’s form-dependency issues and featuring built-in weapons and fission capabilities.

But that doesn’t mean the T-1000 has no advantages. The T-1000 is a basic Liquid Metal state, with capabilities in stealth, infiltration, and Transformation far surpassing the TX’s—it’s the perfect assassin.

Either one would be acceptable to Xiao Wuwang.

As for the specific outcome, he would have to wait until he returned to the train and upgraded it to find out.

Xiao Wuwang stored the T-800’s remains in his Portable Space.

As for the chip, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t Appraise it. It was probably judged as an owned item, so he couldn’t even store it in his Portable Space.

Since he couldn’t take it out of this world, Xiao Wuwang took out the M870 Berserk Shotgun (Modified Type III).

With a “Boom,” the Terminator’s chip was blasted to pieces.

With that, the battle here was completely over.

He glanced up at Sarah Connor, still weeping bitterly upstairs.

Sarah seemed to sense his gaze and turned to look at him.

Xiao Wuwang said to her, “Take care! Live well! Don’t let Kyle’s sacrifice for you be in vain!”

After speaking, he paid no further attention, retrieved the mountain bike, and headed straight for Los Angeles.

The purpose of this trip was naturally to loot.

He was going to loot the police station.

This free nation is awash with firearms, and the police force here is far more heavily armed than the small precincts in China.

Although the weapons stored there are all Level 0 firearms, they hold little appeal for Du Yuming’s “old district.”

But in Xiao Wuwang’s district, which had only been established for a few days, many people still lacked a firearm. Even if Level 0 guns couldn’t be exchanged for Infinite Coins, they could still be traded for a large amount of basic resources, so these firearms remained in high demand.

Before long, Xiao Wuwang arrived at a nearby police station.

In 1984, Los Angeles had a population of approximately 3.1 million, making it the second most populous city in the United States.

With such a large population, the police force’s defensive capabilities were naturally substantial.

To save time, Xiao Wuwang made no attempt to conceal himself. He barged straight in, grabbed an officer, pressed the barrel of his gun against the man’s forehead, and quickly extracted the location of the armory where the weapons were stored.
