"You think too much."
Tang Jiumin didn't care at all. There was nothing wrong with this sentence, and he needed more information.
Sure enough, the indicator light on the metal ball flashed again.
"The materials for animal-shaped semi-mechanical life forms are easy to solve. Their brains come from those mutated humans. There are many such mutated humans on the entire edge planet."
"Especially the insect-shaped mutated humans. Their brains are still the structure of human brains, but they can reproduce and differentiate into many independent individuals. They have an inexhaustible supply of materials."
"Animal form...meaning that human-shaped semi-mechanical life forms are rare materials?" Tang Jiumin heard the question in the words and spoke immediately.
"That's right, because they were base guards during their lifetime and were loyal to their beliefs. They have already sacrificed everything for mankind and have become the most loyal steel sentinels today. For the edge planet, each of them cannot be copied."
Tang Jiumin couldn't help but compare the beast-shaped mechanical and human-shaped mechanical guards again.
Indeed, the equipment of the humanoid mechanical guards is more sophisticated than that of the animaloid ones.
Tang Jiumin's brows rose. He looked at the tallest humanoid machine around and asked in a slightly tentative tone:
"Is it possible that you still retain memories of your life? Guard of the base?"
In front of him, the well-equipped robot turned to look at Tang Jiumin. After a few seconds, he suddenly lowered his gun.
"Research Station No. 1, Security Team, Second Lieutenant, Jill."
After Lieutenant Gill finished explaining his identity, he raised his hand and gestured to the surrounding mechanical guards, and they all put away their weapons.
On the lifting platform, everyone had just been pointed at a bunch of cold guns. They held their rifles tightly and their bodies were stiff, and they didn't dare to blink.
Now that there was no threat of weapons, everyone could not help but relax, but the shock on their faces did not diminish at all.
Because, listen to what that metal ball means...
"You actually volunteered? Voluntarily gave up your brain?" Finally, Chen Min in the crowd asked with some confusion.
"This is the obligation and responsibility that every human being should fulfill, to sacrifice one's life for the continuation of mankind. There is no such thing as voluntary or not."
The robot in front of him heard Chen Min's incredible tone, and his tone instantly worsened: "This is the mission of all humans. You should understand it, instead of reacting like this."
Chen Min shut up and said nothing.
On the other side, Liu Ziyun was deeply shocked by the spirit of the other party's words, and stood there without speaking for a long time.
Tsk…
However, beside him, Tang Jiumin vaguely poked Liu Ziyun with his elbow.
"No need to sigh, these guys are more fanatical than the believers of the Ser Protoss. In essence, they are also a group of true believers."
Those who sacrificed their lives to fight for mankind, the predecessors, are different from the fanatical believers of the Ser Protoss, but they are not much different in spirit. They are all people of faith.
But unfortunately, this is not the place where Tang Jiumin lived and grew up, and he cannot empathize with these "human beings" who are semi-mechanical life forms.
Led by the metal balls and mechanical guards, the lifting platform slowly landed on the underground ground.
Tang Jiumin's expression changed slightly. Has the underground base arrived?
From the moment he entered the cave entrance, he found that the internal structure here was similar to the underground scientific research institute at Scientific Research Station No. 6. It had the same lifting platform, but it was deeper. It was no longer a single-story laboratory, but a complete base.
"Welcome to the underground base." The metal ball suddenly made a voice, "You are right, we are more real than the hypocritical guys of the Ser Protoss. We are a group of madmen who are fanatical about the continuation of the race."
"But you should know that all human beings, without exception, must give their all for the continuation of humanity, and this includes you."
All the surrounding mechanical guards retreated under the lifting platform.
The words of the metal ball and the reaction of the mechanical guard made the newcomers feel strongly uneasy. At this time, Liu Ziyun looked at Tang Jiumin for the first time.
Tang Jiumin was not surprised at all. He glanced around and saw the old god closing his eyes.
kindness?
He actually acted like a normal person and even closed his eyes.
Liu Ziyun believed in Tang Jiumin. Seeing Tang Jiumin's reaction, he felt that there was no danger and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the entire lift platform erupted with an electric current that swept through everyone. Many people screamed and then fell to the ground, unconscious.
The whole process happened so fast.
Liu Ziyun was also paralyzed by the powerful electric current and fell to his knees on the ground.
He subconsciously looked around and found that everyone else had fallen, including Tang Jiumin, who looked particularly calm just now. Only he had not lost consciousness because of his powerful werewolf physique.
Gan! What the hell is this!
Liu Ziyun tried his best to blink, and the scene in front of him was a little blurry.
He slowly raised his head and found that the metal ball did not look back at all, and the mechanical guards around him also made no unnecessary movements, nor did they raise their guns again.
There were no human emotions on the faces of the mechanical guards, so Liu Ziyun didn't know why they suddenly attacked.
At this time, the mechanical guard who just introduced himself as Gill suddenly stretched out his right hand, holding something similar to an electric baton.
That is……
Liu Ziyun had a bad feeling in his heart.
Gill took a few steps towards Liu Ziyun, waved his stick, and a flickering arc of electricity appeared on it, hitting Liu Ziyun.
As this electrified sap was added, Liu Ziyun finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
After some time.
Quarrel.
It's noisy.
Tang Jiumin felt a buzzing sound coming from his ears, which made his head hurt. In this noisy environment, Tang Jiumin suddenly remembered what happened before he fainted and opened his eyes suddenly.
The body moves forward subconsciously.
Unfortunately, Tang Jiumin was immobilized by a huge force, unable to move.
"..."
After Tang Jiumin woke up, he subconsciously lowered his head and found that he was tied to a metal chair.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Jiumin looked up and looked around, and saw that everyone else was tied to chairs like him, and they were all in a large airtight cabin.
The buzzing sound came from a rotating sphere in the space, and it was the ear-splitting noise it made that woke Tang Jiumin up.
Almost at the same time, Liu Ziyun next to him also woke up. He found that he was tied to a chair and turned on partial werewolf transformation, trying to break free from the restraints.
"Hah!"
Liu Ziyun used all his strength, but he found that the rope was getting tighter and tighter, even causing pain on his skin.
After several rounds of forced struggle, he finally stopped struggling and looked at Tang Jiumin.
"This rope is actually made of steel bars, maybe alloy steel ropes. The more I struggle, the tighter it becomes."
At this time, several other people woke up one after another. They happened to hear Liu Ziyun's words and were stunned for half a second before reacting one after another.
However, they were very self-aware. They just twisted a few times uneasily, but did not imitate Liu Ziyun and tried to break free.
However, if even the strongest Liu Ziyun cannot break free, what should we do next? Where is this place?
Among the group of people, Chen Min couldn't help but frown when he saw Tang Jiu Min. Ever since he started looking for the so-called Dr. Hammer, the team had become quieter and quieter.
In the past, he and the newcomers could still get in the conversation, but from the previous time in the valley to now, except for Shan Zhaoyang, he, Li Changfu and others did not dare to say a word.
This state of being completely out of control, even completely out of understanding, made him extremely uneasy.
In the cabin, Tang Jiumin glanced at Liu Ziyun just now. When he saw that the other party could not break free from the rope, he withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the rotating sphere to observe carefully.
The noise from the sphere was getting smaller and slower, and after a while, it was completely still.
At the same time, the door to the entire sealed cabin was opened. Under everyone's gaze, two fully armed mechanical guards appeared at the door, holding weapons on guard.
The two mechanical guards kept their guns aimed at them, each moved forward into the gate and took a step to the side.
Then, a strange man wearing a scientist's costume walked in with a stiff expression.
After seeing his appearance clearly, almost everyone gasped in horror.
Except for Tang Jiumin, he narrowed his eyes slightly at this time and looked at the person with a smile. If nothing else, this was the person he was looking for.
Because the person who came in was not a human being at all.
When the other party came in from the outside and revealed the other half of his face, everyone discovered that the other party was a semi-mechanical life form.
He is more terrifying than other mechanical guards, at least on the surface he looks like that, with half a human face and half a mechanical guard.
This guy seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. The half human face and the half mechanical face are neatly sewn together. The left and right sides are exactly half, separated from the middle, clearly distinct.
Except for the terrifying and weird face of the visitor, the entire body is made of machinery. Compared with the mechanical guards who "hide" the human brain in the metal shell, this person has the identity of a semi-mechanical life form openly written on his face.
But...this half of the face seems to be just a layer of skin, stuck on top of it.
"Hammer Da Vinci, the number one person in charge of Project Fire."
The visitor first introduced himself, and then the heavy electronic sound continued to sound.
"According to the previous agreement, I have destroyed the self-destructive chip in your head. From now on, you will not be threatened by the self-destructive chip. It is time to fulfill the promise."
The truth is revealed. This is Dr. Hammer, a legendary figure who may have lived for about two hundred years.
Dr. Hammer waved his hand, and a mechanical guard next to him pressed a button on the wall. All the ropes restraining everyone were loosened and retracted into the chairs.
A group of people stood up and moved their somewhat numb bodies.
Beside Tang Jiumin, Liu Ziyun quietly put his hands behind his back, partially transforming into a werewolf, turning into a pair of sharp claws.
He walked straight to Tang Jiumin, turned back to look at the latter, and asked with his eyes.
——Do you want to take action?
--Need not.
The two looked at each other, and Tang Jiumin shook his head invisibly, telling Liu Ziyun to stop. Then as agreed, he took out the chip and divine neutralizing fluid from his backpack.
Upon seeing this, a machine guard walked up to Tang Jiumin, took away the things in Tang Jiumin's hands, and handed them to Dr. Hammer.
Dr. Hammer lowered his head and started scanning with his mechanical eyes. It seemed that he was testing the authenticity of the things. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Jiumin.
And Tang Jiumin could clearly see the surprised look flashing across the other party's face.
"Take them away."
Immediately, Dr. Hammer issued new instructions to the two mechanical guards next to him. They immediately rushed in and pointed their guns at Tang Jiumin and the others.
"Hey, didn't I give you something..."
Cheng Zhi was the first to be pointed at by a gun. Before she could scream, she was held down and held down.
"Get out." The mechanical guard warned her.
"..." Cheng Zhi didn't have the guts to resist, so she had to slowly leave towards the door.
Seeing this scene, the others subconsciously shrank back and leaned against each other.
"Tang Jiumin, what should I do?"
Liu Ziyunding was at the front of the team, his hands transformed into wolves, and he looked at Tang Jiumin again. The latter actually smiled and shrugged, which made him anxious and annoyed.
He didn't understand what Tang Jiumin was up to. He proposed the plan and he should choose to believe it.
But the situation is getting worse and worse now. If they were taken away like this, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others?
"Give up your resistance. You must do what I tell you. You are all human beings and have responsibilities and obligations. You must devote everything to completing the Fire Plan."
Dr. Hammer could see the reluctance of this group of people, and a cold voice sounded.
"My experiment lacks experimental materials like yours, so you must cooperate with me."
Experiment, material? ? ?
Hearing this, Liu Ziyun's body tensed up to the extreme. He looked at the mechanical guard getting closer and closer, and his wolf claws stretched out unconsciously.
However, Tang Jiumin still shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.
Liu Ziyun's expression was full of struggle, and the mechanical guard in front of him was getting closer and closer. At the last moment, he finally retracted the wolf claws and exited from the wolf state.
Soon, as Liu Ziyun gave up resistance, everyone was taken out of the cabin one by one.
The same goes for Tang Jiumin.
After coming out, he looked back and found that they were in a closed technology cabin when they woke up.
The others in front of Tang Jiumin were not separated intentionally, but their situation was not much better.
There are two teams of mechanical guards outside. The person in front has been surrounded by two teams of mechanical guards, located in the middle of the team.
There is a word that fits the current situation very well.
Hard to fly with wings.
Tang Jiumin was also escorted to the middle, and the team moved forward under the leadership of Dr. Hammer.
However, just after taking a few steps, Tang Jiumin's right hand suddenly shook, and there was a small sound of something falling on the ground.
Behind him, a mechanical guard subconsciously looked over, but found nothing.
This time, no one was stunned. Under the escort of mechanical guards, they walked through several laboratory doors and arrived at a huge laboratory.
Various instruments are placed here, and there is an isolation room in the corner.
Dr. Hammer nodded to the mechanical guards next to him, and then the group of mechanical guards began to escort Tang Jiumin and the others toward the isolation room.
"Come on, what do you want to do?! We are human beings, we are the same kind, and we have brought you what you want! You are repaying kindness with hatred, which is chilling!"
Shan Zhaoyang looked at the isolation room that made him feel dangerous and the human experimental specimens he saw along the way, and finally couldn't help but struggle hard.
However, he remained rational and used the fact that they were all human beings as the reason for his protest.
"Because you are all human beings, you must fulfill your mission and give everything for the fire." Dr. Hammer's indifferent electronic voice sounded again.
