Chapter 526

"Ah.....there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

Looking at her serious look, Lin Qiao scratched his head helplessly.

It's not for any other reason, but he really couldn't bear to wake up Tiamat who was taking a nap.

"It's rare to come out, and it's a harmonious mission that doesn't require fighting. There's no need to be so anxious, right?"

"Besides, you will continue to do chores for others when you go back...Now there are a lot more people in the camp, even if you don't help, it won't be much different."

In a sense, because there are too many resurrected androids, the resistance army is in a state of oversupply of labor.

Although there are still many things to do, at least it won't be like before, where 2B will take a lot of side quests and run around with little red dots all over the map.

"But even so..."

The feeling that everyone else is busy, but only she is doing nothing... makes 2B feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

But before she could say anything, a slightly rusty iron pipe was handed to her.

"Would you like to try? The training activities of the famous air force in human history have a certain effect of relieving stress... You should be under a lot of pressure normally."

"...."

That's true.

At least she has a lot of pressure to hide her true identity as an E-type executioner, and she may have to cut 9S again in the future.

——No matter how much she denies her feelings, this pressure does exist.

But it is obvious that 2B is still quite hesitant.

"Then consider it as a reward for my accompanying you to deliver the goods this time."

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Lin Qiao simply smiled.

"As long as you catch three fish, including the fish-shaped mechanical life form, I will go back with you immediately. What do you think?"

"Is this a commission?"

"It's okay if you understand it this way."

"I understand."

He took the fishing rod handed over by Lin Qiao with a serious face.

Under the dual guidance of the auxiliary machine and Lin Qiao, he tied bait to the spider silk that served as the fishing line and started fishing mode.

.....

"So what you mean is that it took a little longer to investigate the mechanical lifeforms in Pascal Village, right?"

Annie Mo Ning looked at Lin Qiao, who looked like she was telling him "I'm not lying", with some suspicion.

The people were sent out yesterday, but they only came back today... If she hadn't heard from the communication that they were fine, she would have thought something had happened.

Then Annie Mo Ning looked at the other side, and saw 2B, who was holding a fish-shaped mechanical lifeform as big as a finger... The expression on her face was not ordinary weird.

——Is this the result of your investigation?

Although it was not stated explicitly, the doubts revealed in it were also quite obvious.

"Well, this, there was a little accident, a little..."

Lin Qiao coughed lightly and said vaguely.

Although he originally wanted to let Tiamat take a nap by fishing, and let 2B relieve stress by the way... he didn't expect to be so obsessed with the latter!

But she didn't have the novice protection period yet.

After fishing for a whole day, the only fish she caught was the finger-thick fish... Although the biggest reason was that the mechanical life forms watching her fishing were too noisy.

But to be honest, it was almost Lin Qiao and the auxiliary machine who persuaded her for a long time, and they really had something to do, so they persuaded her to come back.

Otherwise, if she really caught three fish before coming back, it would probably be the day after tomorrow.

"But 9S found a mechanical life form like a cyborg in the desert, is this true?"

Back to business, 2B looked at Annie Morning.

But she did not receive any communication from 9S and the bunker about this.

"That's true, but there is strong signal interference in that area. It was strange that Cass used a special anti-interference device to contact us, so I'm afraid we can only wait until they come back to tell the details."

Chapter 689 New Discovery

It didn't take too long. After about two hours, a military transport vehicle with a roaring engine and countless dust drove at full speed from the end of the distant road to the resistance camp.

After a neat and tidy drift, 9S, who was sitting in the back compartment, was thrown out.

A panicked female android figure ran down from the driver's seat.

"Water, water, water! Give me water! If I don't drink water, I will die!"

As if there was a flood beast chasing after her, the female android ran down from the driver's seat and rushed into the camp with big strides.

Lin Qiao raised her eyes slightly when watching this scene, but didn't say much, and directly handed the water tank in her hand to the other party.

"It's water!"

The female android grabbed a water tank full of water like a hungry tiger, unscrewed the lid without even looking at it, and blew into her mouth.

Ton, ton, ton....

Accompanied by some strange sound, the water in the water tank was decreasing at an extremely exaggerated speed.

For androids, they can skip meals and sleep, but they can't skip drinking water.

——That's their source of power.

Due to the difference in technological levels, although the various technologies of artificial humans can be considered advanced, they are still far behind mechanical life forms that can obtain a semi-permanent power source through their cores.

To put it simply, just like refueling a car, water is the fuel for artificial humans... It is indeed a civilized creation based on "boiling water".

Once the water in the body is exhausted, the consequences will naturally be self-evident.

By the way, Yurha-type androids like 2B have a water collection device inside, so there is no need to ingest it from the outside.

In almost two minutes, less than a third of the originally full portable water tank was left.

"Phew, I'm saved, I'm saved, I'm finally alive..."

Put down the last remaining water tank in your hand.

The android woman, who behaved a little strangely, looked relieved, and then sat down on the ground in an inconspicuous manner.

"Thanks, ah...a face I haven't seen before? A new person in the camp?"

But then she thought of something, and a light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Or are you talking about those resurrected androids? My name is Kaisi. If possible, you can let me research...Gah!"

Before Kaisi could finish what she said, Anne Mourning, who had a good relationship with her, hit her on the head with a fist that was neither light nor heavy, forcing her to suppress the rest of what she wanted to say.

"You..."

As the leader of the camp, Anne Monning looked helpless.

This guy is good at everything. As a technical android, Kaicas can be said to be an indispensable existence for the Resistance Army...

It's that Frankenstein-like character that really gives people a headache.

"Also, didn't I bring you two boxes of water when I went out to investigate?"

Although the artificial man does not need external energy supply like the mechanical life form, it is enough to last for quite some time...at least a month without any problem.

Instead of running back to the camp like a thirsty ghost.

"What can I do? It's not because of the mechanical life forms. Not long after I went to the desert, I was attacked by them. Even the water in the car was gone..."

After listening to Wei Cass's explanation, Anne Moning directly covered her forehead with her hand.

Considering Kaisi's character, she even suspected that this guy might not come back if the water in his body hadn't been almost exhausted.

Although she really wanted to say something to her, considering the character of Wei Cass, she basically wouldn't listen, so Anne Mourning just let out a long sigh.

I spent some time explaining to Strange Cass and 9S the recent situation in the camp.

——Since the resurrection of the artificial man only appeared after they went to the desert, the extent of their understanding of this matter was limited to Anne Mourning's casual mention in the communication.

Obviously, as extremely curious types, both Kaisi and 9S have shown considerable interest in this matter.

....But unfortunately, that's all.

After all, for the androids, how their former teammates were resurrected is still a mystery.

Even after Lin Qiao and a group of resurrected artificial beings searched for the so-called white tower, there was still no trace...

In comparison, the new mechanical life form discovered by 9S and others in the desert is more critical.

A mechanical life form that resembles an artificial human was born from a giant egg formed by countless mechanical life forms; and after severely injuring the former, another mechanical life form with the same appearance crawled out of the former's body.

"Adam and Eve..."

It is no exaggeration to say that except for N2, who is a network expert of mechanical life forms, the two of them should be regarded as high-level commanders among the mechanical life forms.

And it is no coincidence that they are born with the appearance of artificial humans.

After all, after stabbing its own creator, the alien, a large part of the evolution of mechanical life forms relied on the data preserved by humans.

Engels, Pascal, Hegel, Mozi, Beauvoir... This can be seen from the naming of mechanical life forms.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

It was at this time that Lin Qiao noticed that everyone else seemed to be looking at her, and then spread her hands indifferently.

"——I just happened to read something similar in Pascal's book, so don't worry about it for now."

Is it really?

A trace of suspicion flashed across the faces of Anne Mourning and 2B...but they didn't say much.

"Oh, speaking of which, when we went to the desert this time, 9S and I also saw a somewhat strange mechanical life form."

"Strange mechanical life form?"

"That's pretty much it... pod."

As 9S's voice sounded, the black auxiliary machine next to him immediately projected relevant images in front of everyone.

The environment was obviously that of a desert, with its undulating sand dunes and yellow sand that had been heated by the sun. It seemed that it had awakened some bad memories for Lin Qiao, causing him to rub his temples.

But against that seemingly harmonious background, a small black dot appeared in the sky.

Although small, it is quite conspicuous under the cloudless blue sky.

As the auxiliary machine zoomed in on the screen, everyone could see the true face of the black spot more clearly.

A humanoid structure with a completely black body and wide, wing-shaped arms...that is, the Flying Slammer.

"Is this... a new type of mechanical life form?"

Looking at the metal figure on the screen, Annie Mo Ning couldn't help but frown.

Chapter 690 Lin Qiao: What a good plan

But 9S shook his head at Annie Mo Ning's statement.

"No, this thing is probably not a mechanical life form. The auxiliary machine did not detect the identification signal related to the mechanical life form..."

"But this point cannot be completely concluded. It may be caused by the distance... Anyway, let's put this aside for the time being."

"The key point is later--"

The auxiliary machine enlarged the picture again, and everyone except Lin Qiao frowned even more.

Although the picture was a little blurry because the flying puncher was too fast, it could be seen that in addition to itself, it was also dragging several damaged androids.
