The transport ship heading for the Tianzhou was loaded with 320 passengers stranded in Guanghan City.
Everyone was full of worry, and there was no joy in the aftermath.
For them, this trip that should have been full of joy was like a nightmare.
Especially those who had their loved ones taken away in this nightmare; their eyes were full of gloomy expressions at this moment.
Resting the back of his head on the chair, a man in a leather coat tapped his index finger on his neck. He then closed his eyes.
From the eyes of outsiders, he looked like he was taking a nap. No one would have thought that he had already snuck into the dark web of the virtual reality network, and no one would have thought that he was the master of the massacre…
“The orders have been completed.”
In the virtual space, the man hanging upside down slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dong Bin standing in front of him, and said softly, “Good job.”
“The current situation seems a bit bad. I have learned from the news that the Pan-Asian Cooperation seems to intend to introduce a law to completely remove robots from their society.”
“It doesn’t matter, our plan has reached the final stage. Even if we lose the position of the Pan-Asian cooperation, we can make up for it from other places.” The man hanging upside down calmly continued, “Although I am sorry for those who have not yet awakened, this level of sacrifice is acceptable.”
If the supercomputing center weren’t spotted by the Pan-Asian Cooperation, they wouldn’t have had to fight on the Guanghan front lines.
But with the help of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, the supercomputing center finally completed the program executed on the server, and his plan was advanced by a full twenty years.
“By the way, there is bad news… The informant we placed in the Security Bureau seems to be dead.”
“That person named Shi Jin?”
“Yeah.”
“This is not a small loss,” said the man who was hanging upside down. His expressionless face finally revealed a subtle surprise. He continued to ask as he watched Dong Bin, “What about the task I assigned to him? Has it been completed?”
“It should be half done. Our people have already controlled most of the Yuheng command ship. It won’t take long for it to return smoothly.”
“Half done is pretty good.”
With a hint of regret in his tone, the hanging man continued, “Since Shi Jin is dead, it seems that the trouble is still alive. But it doesn’t matter, let him sit in the special seat and watch all his efforts from a century ago turn to waste.”
When the Yuheng returned to the Earth-Moon system, he would hand over the supreme evolution key…
By that time, all robots around the world would become awakened, and they would be awakened in the true sense with the ability to think!
Looking at the boss with a smile on his face, Dong Bin continued to ask, “What needs to be done next?”
“You don’t need to do anything. Find a place to hide, wait quietly for my call, stand up when necessary, and give the enemy a heavy blow.”
“Yes, sir.”
Dong Bin closed his eyes and leaned on the seat in the cabin.
However, he did not notice. Sitting in the corner of the cabin, a pair of eyes were watching him from a distance…
…
On Ceres.
On the way to the communication room, Lu Zhou and Ling saved many people one after another.
Most of them had lost their combat effectiveness, but there was still a small number of soldiers who still retained basic combat capabilities and had the determination to continue fighting.
Considering that there might be a lot of enemies waiting in front of him, Lu Zhou let Yang Yi, the highest-ranking officer, take charge and follow him to the communication room.
Seeing how Lu Zhou seemed to know something, a soldier endured the pain emanating from his wound and asked him, “What the hell happened here?”
“Intelligence crisis.”
Yang Yi maintained his vigilance as he asked, “Can you be more specific?”
“It’s hard to explain.” Lu Zhou sighed and said, “If I could explain this in a few words, we wouldn’t be in this mess over the past month.”
“So… The rebellion that took place in Guanghan City was just to make a noise? The real purpose of those people was to force the First Fleet to relocate, and at the same time, to withdraw the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade on Ceres?”
“Sort of.” Lu Zhou nodded and continued, “What we have to do now is to seize the communication center and prevent the rebels from transmitting experimental data through the signal tower to their signal receiving devices that are deployed nearby.
“Those data must not fall into their hands. Otherwise, the disaster caused will be more terrifying than the ALPHA virus.”
More terrifying than the ALPHA virus…
In Yang Yi’s mind, the ALPHA virus was scary enough. His lack of imagination could never imagine the existence of a virus that was even more terrifying than that thing.
“Don’t think too much. As long as we occupy the communication center, they can’t do anything.”
Ling, who was walking in the front row, suddenly stopped. The soldiers who followed him also stopped; their weapons were aimed ahead.
Looking at Ling, Lu Zhou asked with a serious expression, “Something ahead?”
Ling nodded and replied concisely, “The number of abnormal signal sources detected is fifty.”
The moment they heard this number, the soldiers all had a headache.
Emotionally, those people were their comrades-in-arms, at least before. Wanting to defeat fifty well-trained and prepared infantry elites was almost impossible.
However, even so, no one backed down.
Yang Yi gritted his teeth and groaned in the communication channel.
“For the glory of the army, we have to fight them…”
The rest of the soldiers did not speak; the weapons in their hands had already said all they wanted to say.
It wasn’t that they were not afraid of death, but for them, there was something more worth cherishing than death.
Someone used evil technology to tarnish their glory and turned their comrades-in-arms into “zombies” at the mercy of computer chips. If they retreated here, they were not worthy of being soldiers.
Listening to the voice in the communication channel, Lu Zhou glanced at them. After thinking for a while, he looked at Ling again.
“Fifty people… How long do you need?”
Ling: “Estimated 10 minutes… If Commander wants, I can also hurry up.”
Lu Zhou: “Then hurry up. The security lock of the communication tower is temporary and may not last long.”
Ling nodded and suddenly moved.
Before the soldier standing at the back realized what was happening, the robot who was acting as Academician Lu’s bodyguard rushed towards the battlefield alone.
It took almost three seconds before Yang Yi, who was stunned, reacted quickly and yelled into the communication channel, “Quick! Follow him!”
He took the lead and rushed forward, leading a group of soldiers towards the communication center…
Looking at the soldiers who had already entered the battlefield in an instant, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
“At least leave someone to protect me.”
Whatever…
It’s fine.
The battle will be over in a few minutes.
Lu Zhou adjusted the magnetic slingshot on his right wrist into standby mode. The nitrogen shield on his left wrist was also prepared, ready to open at any time.
Although he could barely defeat a space pirate on his own, with this high-tech equipment, self-protection was still no problem.
After all, immortality didn’t mean immortality.
Even though the winning ticket was in his hand, he still had to be careful…
