Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's answer, 173 grinned and looked outside the carriage with eyes full of wisdom.
Ahead is a dark tunnel, with nothing but a track with no end in sight.
But 173 seemed to see some kind of doorway here. After a moment of pause, he gave his guess:
"Fat man, do you think those manta ray-like spaceships are the creations of the Monitor civilization?"
Xu Xiaoxiao stared at 173 whose eyes were unfocused for a long time, and then silently glanced at the dark tunnel outside the carriage.
In the end, he resisted the desire to complain in his heart and followed 173’s words:
"I'm not sure, maybe..."
Hamilton on the side saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was able to communicate, and immediately suggested in a low voice:
"You can communicate with him and try to ask him to turn off the power supply of the robotic arm, or remove the robotic arm yourself."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and said to 173:
"That 173, turn off the power supply to the mechanical left arm, remove it and give it to me."
"Huh?" 173 slowly turned his head, confusion appearing on his face, "Okay, why are you taking off my arm..."
"Uh..." Xu Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to make up a reason.
However, 173 on the opposite side quickly figured out the 'truth' behind it. His eyes moved to both sides and looked in different directions.
The expression on his face becomes more and more 'intelligent'!
"I understand, Fatty, you must want to upgrade the software of my robotic arm!"
The corners of Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes twitched and she smiled awkwardly:
"Ah, yes, yes, I want to upgrade the software of your robotic arm! The version is too old and should have been updated a long time ago. You understand me so well hehehe..."
173 looked proud:
"That's necessary. After so many years of friendship, I still don't know you! As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you're going to fart!"
Xu Xiaoxiao: "..."
Fortunately, after 173 finished teasing, he actually stopped the power supply of the robotic arm as Xu Xiaoxiao requested.
And after some operations, the left arm was successfully removed.
After a brief inspection to confirm that the arm would not move on its own, Xu Xiaoxiao lost interest in technological creations and stuffed it into Hamilton's arms, planning to give the arm back after 173 woke up from the illusion. .
Not that she was trying to be lazy.
After getting off the bus, Xu Xiaoxiao still needs to fulfill the promise he made to Lu Bing.
Lu Bing, who had lost his ability, was now paralyzed on the ground, his limp body swaying back and forth as the car trembled.
Xu Xiaoxiao picked it up and tied it back to the seat with a seat belt.
It's magical to say the least.
The entire carriage was clearly shaking violently, but 173 was able to stand firmly in the center.
There is no need to pull any handrails or tie any seat belts on the body.
That leisurely and contented look is like returning to a long-lost hometown! The clumsiness and restraint before were completely gone.
His Majesty the Emperor arrived in Paris, his most loyal place?
After scanning the surroundings, 173 finally cast his wise gaze on Lu Bing.
He stepped forward in two steps, curled his fingers, and tapped Lu Bing's head a few times.
Under the bewildered gaze of the victim, 173 turned to Xu Xiaoxiao and asked:
"What's wrong with the keg? Is it out of power?"
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed happy to see Lu Bing frustrated and responded with a smile:
"That's right, the consumption just now was too great."
173 nodded in understanding, squatted down and started to pull Lu Bing's pants. Xu Xiaoxiao, Hamilton, and Lu Bing himself, who had his pants taken off, were immediately stunned!
What's going on?
It’s okay to be stuck in a hallucination and not be able to get out. How come your orientation has changed? !
And looking at this momentum, it seems that it is still developing steadily in the direction of abnormality!
Because of the side effects of [dormant metabolism], poor Lu Bing made a hoarse cry for help and could hardly do anything else.
Seeing that the young man's pants were about to be taken off, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately stopped him:
"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?!"
173, who was stopped, turned his head and said with a matter-of-fact expression:
"Replace the battery for the keg. I remember that its nuclear fusion battery is installed under its butt. Why can't I find it..."
With that said, he tugged on Lu Bing's pants again.
Lu Bing had a look of despair on his face: "If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have just used mental shock to turn him into an idiot!"
Hamilton seemed to have captured the key point in 173's words, and interjected without emotion:
"There are nuclear fusion batteries... It seems that in the original timeline of this world breaker, humans have come into contact with the civilization of the Clan..."
Probably because Xu Xiao did not answer, Lu Bing turned his unfocused gaze to Hamilton on the other side.
"Uncle Wang, do you have a spare fusion battery? If so, put one in the keg..."
Hamilton barely hesitated for a moment when he heard the inquiry. He shook his head decisively and refused:
"No, I don't know where the fusion battery is placed."
"This wise and self-protective approach is indeed in line with the core setting of bionic humans..."
Momo complained in his mind, and Xu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to make up some lies in an attempt to temporarily fool 173.
"I have fully upgraded the 'keg'. It does not need to replace the battery for the time being, just let it stay there..."
Lu Bing took over and protested: "I have good intentions to save you, but you want to take off my pants!"
Although 173 was very unconscious, fortunately he still listened to the advice.
He let go of his hands on his pants and sat down next to Lu Bing.
Put one hand around the other person's neck, and the expression on his face is as if he is leaning on a comfortable pillow.
"Okay, then I won't be busy for now. What should we do next?"
After hearing this question, the expressions on the faces of the remaining three people finally became normal.
As the 'captain' of this half-assembled team, Xu Xiaoxiao said:
"Go to the Kyoto shelter and find someone."
Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Hamilton's eyes flashed red.
Lu Bing was slightly startled when 173 hugged his neck.
They obviously did not expect that Xu Xiaoxiao's purpose would be similar to theirs.
However, just when the two of them were thinking heavily, a different voice came from 173's mouth:
"Going to the Saturn Defense Line? What are you doing there? McClun who was stationed there has probably escaped long ago..."
Three black lines hung from Xu Xiaoxiao's head, and he added helplessly:
"We are looking for Jiang Feng, not McClun! And we are not going to the Saturn Defense Line, we are going to the Kyoto Underground City!"
173 responded with a wise look:
"Yes, I heard what you just said. We are going to the Saturn defense line, but McClun is definitely not there. Otherwise, how could those Batray spacecraft appear outside the Red Bank Base?"
Xu Xiaoxiao gradually went crazy:
"We are going to the Kyoto Underground City! Not to the Saturn Defense Line..." Looking at the unpleasant 'cross-server communication' between the two, Hamilton reminded in a low voice:
"Well... don't forget that the World Breaker is still in the illusion. It's already a miracle that he can communicate with you..."
173 tilted his head, looked at the old man with unfocused eyes, and said in a whisper:
"Yes, yes, your dad is still here, don't be stubborn with me..."
"In my opinion, we might as well retreat towards Mercury Harbor, which is closer to the sun!
"Even if we have to run away, it's still more convenient than the Saturn defense line!"
"Okay..." Xu Xiaoxiao stroked his forehead with one hand and said helplessly:
"Then I'll listen to you..."
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao relenting, 173 chuckled, and the distance between his pupils became wider.
"Then let's sail the boat quickly! Before those manta rays find us..."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao pointed at himself and subconsciously asked:
"Driving the boat? You mean to let me drive this carriage?"
173 Of course: "What if, you can safely let a disabled person like me drive it?"
As he spoke, he also moved his bare left shoulder.
"You are indeed disabled...but the missing parts are not only your arms, but also your brain..."
??????????????????Muttered something silently in his heart, Xu Xiaoxiao simply lost his temper and started making nonsense.
Anyway, when 173 hears what she says, it will be filtered by an illusion, thus changing the underlying meaning.
】
It would be easier to just talk nonsense.
"I don't need to drive this ship. It's autonomous. Can't you see?"
173 was startled when he heard this, and after a while, he felt it made sense and nodded:
"No wonder I feel like the spacecraft hasn't stopped since just now. It turns out you have turned on the autopilot..."
Xu Xiaoxiao has something to say:
"So just stay still now. We will soon arrive at the...Mercury Port you mentioned..."
This time, 173 did not make any more noise, but nodded with satisfaction:
"Business about your business, I'll just sit here and help the keg restore its power... It's restoring its power, right..."
The despair on Lu Bing's face reached its peak:
"Yes, I can recover..."
173 smiled and nodded, casting his unfocused gaze toward the back of the car——
Although there was nothing there but rapidly receding darkness.
"Then I'm relieved. Fortunately, those strange spaceships didn't notice us. Otherwise, with the speed of this broken transport ship, we definitely wouldn't be able to escape..."
The green leather carriage moved forward at an incredible speed. From the perspective of the tunnel, the light emitted by the headlights was nothing more than a fleeting flash in the darkness.
After a moment of brightness, there was almost eternal darkness.
Like this terrible timeline.
When the clanking sound of the carriage disappeared at the end of the tunnel, vague whispers suddenly came from the quiet darkness.
It's like a wet towel filled with moisture, making a sound when someone twists it hard:
"The resurgence of the embers... Timeline 4982 requires the intervention of the mother star's power..."
Not long after the words fell silent, another burst of noisy white noise suddenly sounded in the darkness.
It was as if there was an invisible current surging in the underground passage, accurately and quickly capturing the void that did not really exist!
The hoarse voice that once came from Lu Bing's radio sounded in the darkness, and because of the helplessness, it seemed ethereal——
"Haha, I haven't left yet, why did you show up in such a hurry..."
