You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 6 I, the little mouse, am doomed today!
“Crack…bang!”

With a crisp cracking sound, the multifaceted crystal atop the tower finally exhausted its last bit of energy.

The light dimmed completely, and the crystal shattered into specks of light that dissipated into the polluted air.

The newbie protection period has ended.

Almost at the same time, the barbed wire fence, which had been gnawed and riddled with holes, was also bitten through with a loud "whoosh".

"Chirp chirp—!!!"

Freed from the suppression of the light, the group of steel rats let out excited and sharp hissing.

The crimson mechanical eyes locked onto Li Zhe atop the sentry tower!
The next second, the swarm of rats rushed towards the tower like a floodgate opening!

Faced with this scene, Li Zhe's expression remained completely unchanged.

He remained firmly atop the tower, occupying an absolutely advantageous position, surveying the enemies charging below.

A tough battle is about to unfold.

Or rather, a one-sided massacre.

He currently possesses a combat strength of 1.5, while these giant rats have a combat strength of only 0.3.

A piece of trash whose combat power is five times weaker than mine!

According to the rule that a difference of more than twice the combat power is enough to crush the opponent, this is no longer a question of whether or not one can win.

It's not a question of how fast they can hit!

"grumble!"

One of the most impatient steel rats rushed to the foot of the tower first.

With a powerful push from its mechanical hind legs, its entire body leaped and bounded towards the top of the tower, scrambling along the walls!

Li Zhe's eyes narrowed, neither flinching nor avoiding the gaze.

Just as the enormous rat opened its massive jaws, filled with rusty, sharp teeth, and was about to bite his face—

"Bang!!"

There were no fancy moves, just a simple raising of the hand, clenching of the fist, and punching!
The fist whistled through the air, accompanied by a dull thud like a watermelon bursting open.

The enormous steel rat was struck by Li Zhe's punch in mid-air.

His entire body instantly exploded into a mixture of flesh and metal parts, scattering everywhere!
One punch!
With just one punch, he completely obliterated a monster with the strength of a calf into dust!

This is the crushing power that comes from an absolute difference in combat strength!

Even Li Zhe himself was somewhat surprised by the power of that punch.

He himself has considerable experience in street fighting.

After all, you need to be really capable to stand up and beat up a thug.

Now that his body has expanded and his strength has increased dramatically, he needs to readjust his vision and balance.

But the fighting instinct was already ingrained in his bones.

After a short period of adjustment, he quickly found his rhythm.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The steel giant rats that pounced on them all met the same fate.

Fists, hand chop, whip kick...

The attacks became more and more precise.

The steel giant rat that charged forward was completely unable to break through the three-foot range in front of him.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere beneath the tower, and metal parts scattered in all directions.

There's not much to say, it's just one punch and a big rat!

Less than a minute.

He slaughtered all twenty-odd steel rats.

The body vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace.

Li Zhe didn't even get a scratch.

With combat power more than doubled, they can indeed do whatever they want.

Monsters of this caliber, no matter how many come, will only be a waste of their time.

"call……"

Li Zhe let out a soft breath and twisted his wrist. He glanced down at the empty top and bottom of the tower, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

"The drop rate is too low."

They killed over twenty monsters, but literally, not a single piece of material dropped! Even the flesh scraps and scrap metal were annihilated.

It seems that these "Abyss Familiar" type monsters, aside from making the armor do some warm-up exercises, are not worth squeezing out of anything.

After repelling this attack, Li Zhe did not linger in the same spot.

The detection module was activated again, and a detailed scan of the surrounding terrain and monster distribution was performed.

He quickly devised an efficient route forward.

He leaped off the top of the three-story tower.

The two feet landed with a dull thud, leaving two shallow footprints on the ground.

Then, he moved like the wind.

Weaving through abandoned streets and buildings, precisely avoiding the low-value Abyss foes, he charged straight into an apartment building.

This apartment building is over twenty stories high.

The interior was dark and filled with a strong smell of mold, rust, and blood.

A large number of monsters roamed the corridor.

They are far more bizarre than the steel rats outside, and their senses are much sharper.

Li Zhe's intrusion immediately alarmed all the "original residents" of the building.

"Kakaka..."

A security camera hanging on the wall of the corridor suddenly started to rotate.

A crack appeared in the metal casing, and a huge, cloudy eye opened from it, its bloodshot eyeball staring intently at Li Zhe.

Like a carnivorous flower lurking in the shadows, ready to strike its prey when it passes by.

"Gulu gulu..."

In the laundry room, a row of front-loading washing machines suddenly had arthropods extending from below them.

They are connected by sewage pipes, forming a multi-functional washing machine centipede that crawls in the dark corridors.

What should have been a roller has been transformed into a meat grinder covered in sharp teeth.

It was spinning at high speed, making a heart-stopping noise.

The apartment building is filled with strange and terrifying appliances, corrupted by the power of the abyss.

Li Zhe ignored these bizarre and strange creatures belonging to the abyss.

His goal was clear from the very beginning.

Guided by the detection module, he located a high-level monster entrenched in the middle of the building.

As he climbed upwards, all those who stood in his way—whether they were camera eyes, washing machine centipedes, or air conditioner outdoor unit moths—were swiftly and decisively defeated by him.

He soon arrived at the tenth floor of the apartment building.

At the end of the corridor, a figure stood quietly.

It was a mechanical being with the outline of a human female.

But its head is a lifelike cat's head, with a pair of pointed cat ears standing up high.

Its limbs burst open, revealing sharp, gleaming metal claws; its body is twisted and bizarre, filled with a grotesque and incongruous beauty.

[Special Ability: Sharp claws scratch wildly, inflicting tetanus.]

[Note: When the abyss corrupts your domesticated master and devours your feline lover, is your adorable cat-eared girl still the same...?]

Cat-eared girl?

Li Zhe looked at the mechanical monster in front of him, which had a rotting cat head and reeked of engine oil and murderous intent, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

This isn't a catgirl at all!

No matter what a cat looks like, if you let a bunch of giant rats roam around outside, you're not a good cat!
"Ouch——!"

The cat demon mechanical girl spotted him and let out a piercing screech that was somewhere between a cat's meow and the friction of metal!
With a push of its hind legs, it transformed into a silver phantom and pounced forward like lightning!
Its sharp metal claws drew several cold streaks in the air, aiming straight for Li Zhe's throat!
