Chapter 73 Mechanical Hunter
Yu Le's interest rose suddenly. He arched his waist and hid behind a large, crab-like corpse of a mechanical being. He carefully pushed aside an oil-stained metal leg with his hands, and quietly looked not far away.
The infrared scanner embedded in the lens of the gas mask works dutifully, and the shadows of the two human shapes are particularly clear. Ji Xiaoman seemed to be barely 1.6 meters tall, more than a head shorter than He An. Infrared scanning couldn't scan her expression, Yu Le could only see that she didn't look up.
"You haven't done anything shameful, so why can't I come over?" He An's tone was brisk, "It's my obligation to make sure you deliver on time. You know why."
"Does your partner know?" Ji Xiaoman pulled a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tissue fluid from the mechanical life on his hand.
He An's figure froze, and his voice became cold, "Don't ask Ayu in front of me."
"I also said that you are not allowed to come here." Ji Xiaoman's tone was colder than before, "Look, everyone has privacy."
"Delivery at eight o'clock, it's half past six, you have to go there for at least half an hour. You still have an hour to prepare." He An's smile disappeared completely, "If I were you, I would go back to prepare the goods, Instead of hunting in the junkyard. Even if you are the best mechanical hunter, Qian Yigeng will not let you go easily."
"I know."
"It's good to know. If you die now, it will be very troublesome for me." He An sounds like an emotionless android now, "How is my stuff?"
"It's still being repaired. If you don't disturb me to collect parts, I can repair it faster. Now I don't know when it will be repaired." Ji Xiaoman seemed to have a cold game with He An.
He An snorted and turned to leave. Yu Le sucked the tooth Hanako and continued to observe. Ji Xiaoman stood there for a few seconds, and slashed at the nearest mechanical life corpse. She didn't cry, but her chest rose and fell sharply, and then continued to dismember the sticky corpses.
Yu Le gave full play to the potential of the leader of the robbers, followed her all the way back to the store, and only sneaked in seven or eight minutes after she entered the door.
There was a large basin on the counter, and the warm water was a little hot. The parts she had just received were soaked in a basin, with large drops of oil floating on the water. With his back to the door, Ji Xiaoman carefully cleaned them with his awl-like fingertips, with five small wooden boxes by his hand.
One of them is wide open, revealing its contents
The slightly transparent hemispherical device was lying on the soft cloth. Ji Xiaoman didn't even need tweezers. He just pinched it with his fingertips, and the tiny parts sank into the soft gel and returned to their place obediently. Then she used a spoon-like tool to wrap around the squirming gum, revealing the dazzling structure inside the device, and the metal fingertips of her other hand began to turn red. Red-hot, sharp metal attached to the internal parts, making a sizzling melting sound.
After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her fingertips back, and waited for the gelatinous bubbles that wrapped the internal parts. After a while, the interior of the completed device began to flicker slightly, and the blue filaments kept on and off in the gel, like some kind of undiscovered deep jellyfish.
There was no satisfaction in the completion of the work on her face, only a deep sense of sadness. After a few seconds of hesitation, she picked up a needle and pierced it without mercy. The hemispherical device the size of a human brain flashes blue light, then slowly goes out.
"I'm sorry," she murmured. "All I can do is I'm sorry."
"Let me guess, this is an imitation electronic brain." Yu Le leaned against the wall and said lazily. Ji Xiaoman froze on the spot, and only remembered to look back after a long while. It's just that when she turned her head back, a few bullets rushed straight towards Yu Le.
After Yu Le made a sound, he changed his position quite presciently, and the bullets only left a few dark holes in the wall.
Seeing that the other party dodged the bullet, Ji Xiaoman's face could not tell whether he was happy or sad for a while.
"It seems so. Don't be nervous, I didn't plan to rob you." Yu Le raised his hands high and made a gesture of surrender. "If I wanted to kidnap you, I just gave you two shots from the back. It doesn't look like you wanted my life. Anyway, I'll be fine, we can have a good talk."
"I don't have time." Ji Xiaoman held a gun in one hand and quickly packed the wooden box in the other. She stuffed them into a huge backpack and carried them neatly. "Put your hands up on the wall and don't move."
"Hey, if you're not such a washboard, little sister, this sounds even more exciting. Hey, don't shoot, don't shoot. I'll just lie down." breathed.
Ji Xiaoman elongated his face, quickly bypassed the scattered debris and furnishings in the store, and slipped out of the door nimbly like a snake. Almost in the next second, there was a sound of locking from outside the door. Yu Le patted the dust on the wall and snorted twice.
"Little girl is just a little girl, she is very tender."
The door was locked tightly, and the glass could not be broken. Yu Le folded a few wires from the store, dragged a generator, and broke the lock with electric pulses three or two times. He threw away the insulating gloves and rushed out of the store. Ji Xiaoman happened to disappear at the end of the road.
Yu Le kicked the door of the store with one foot, and there was a click of the electronic lock taking effect again, and he followed up again. Only this time, the slender figure of the little girl has been completely engulfed by the fog.
Yu Le was not bothered by this. He raised his hand to hold the young man smoking on the street, hooked a finger to the metal ring on the other's lips, and pulled threateningly, "Where did that little girl just go?"
The young man with colorfully dyed hair glanced up and down at Yu Le's physique, succumbed to the other's sturdy arms and full of arrogance, and pointed in a direction tremblingly. Even if the fog is full, Yu Le can still see the bright neon lights behind the fog.
"Hey, this is getting more and more fun." Yu Le let go of the young man, snatched the other party's cigarette, tore off the butt of the cigarette in disgust, and took a breath. "The mere little girl's film, watch Lao Tzu to get a good handle."
Not far from the side of the building.
The car finally wobbled to a halt, and the air began to circulate again. Their iron boxes seemed to be placed inside the carriages, and people outside were carrying things out in packs. They should be in a corner of a warehouse by now, and Ruan Xian smelled rusted metal, mold, and a little bit of spoiled gasoline.
"How about the two inside, so don't freeze anything." Hua Peacock is very worried about the quality of the products. "It's good to have fresh cells. We all know that prototypes are still more valuable."
"Two big men, it'll be fine for a while. After scanning, I didn't send the photos and scan results to Boss Qian. Anyway, they have to be closed for a day and a night to be discouraged. Just send them to a warmer place later."
As he said, he knocked on the box, "I heard that every day and night, if you want to be less guilty, just be honest, don't worry, the heartbeat displayed here is still normal, and the whole body scan has come out. I'll pass it on to you first."
Ruan Xian did not respond, and Tang Yibu obediently pretended to be dead.
"It's already been sent to Boss Qian. But I have to take a look again." Hua Peacock walked over by himself, "Yes, these two are really strong, and their body temperature is still safe. Let's go here."
There are only two of them nearby. Ruan Xian sent the news through earrings.
"The power system of the car has also been shut down, and the compartment should not be monitored." Tang Yibu responded with a breath, "Do it"
hands-on.
"Someone is muttering what is it? Say it louder and let the big guys hear it." Hua Peacock was about to hit the metal box, and one hand directly broke through the metal wall and grabbed his wrist, as if the thick metal wall was paper paste of.
"Fuck!" Before he could say a dirty word, he was knocked out on the spot by someone who jumped out of the box. The other one didn't even draw his gun, turned around and wanted to run, but Ruan Xian, who got out with Tang Yibu, kicked him on the knee, and slashed the back of his neck with a knife.
The whole process takes no more than three seconds.
The flower peacock and the other man both wore suits like dogs, but they obviously didn't fit well, and there were many wrinkles. Tang Yibu compared the figures of the two, happily removed their coats and gas masks, and stuffed the two unlucky bastards with only their underwear into the metal box.
The electronic wristbands of the two were also specially taken off, and he handed the one with the flower peacock to Ruan Xian.
"It smells like smoke." Ruan Xian wrinkled his nose in disgust, and twisted the flower peacock's suit with his two fingers. The air in the warehouse was still cloudy, and the metallic acid smell was slightly lighter than outside, but it was still not very breathable.
"The bathrobe is too easy to expose." Tang Yibu quickly put on his suit, and the clothes that looked baggy on the other person were completely propped up, adding a little more elegance. It's a pity that with the gas mask with its own horror atmosphere, the matching effect is instantly subtle.
"That's right." Ruan Xian kicked off the bathrobe and put on his shirt and suit in spite of his nausea. He plugged the mouths of the two comatose men in the box with bathrobes, and then buckled the gas masks of Flower Peacock. "I'll leave the rest to you, step by step."
"It seems that our cooperative relationship has deepened." Knowing that there are no outsiders this time, and the other party has no need to act, Tang Yibu digested the title for a few seconds. "But it's not fair. Ruan Lijie is definitely not your real name. What should I call you Xiao Ruan or Ruan Ruan?"
Ruan Xian shivered, "Mr. Ruan is fine."
"Mr. Ruan." Tang Yibu was a little dejected, making sure that the mouths of the two people in the box were gagged, and their hands were tied by the belts of the bathrobes, and he sealed the metal box like squeezing plasticine. He tried hard to press the breach evenly, but unfortunately there was no welding device, and the gap was still stubbornly cracked there. Tang Yibu buckled some scraps from the metal box and filled them carefully.
"Almost got it." Ruan Xian straightened the collar of his suit, "We won't stay here."
Only then did Tang Yibu stop his obsessive-compulsive behavior, and he turned his attention to the bulging bag next to the box. Ruan Xian also picked up one, and they always exuded fresh blood that made him very concerned.
He hesitated for a moment, unzipped it, and nearly dropped the bag not out of fear, but outright shock.
The bag was stuffed with bags of preservative, with a human head wrapped around it.
The head belonged to a young man, with an honest and innocent face, almost cowardly, not handsome at all. His expression was frozen in fear and pleading, and there were tears on his face.
Ruan Xian slowly pulled back the zipper and took a breath, "Now we know where those personality data came from."
"The personality data for constructing artificial intelligence can be reused, and the body can also be copied. Only the electronic brain hardware is left." Tang Yibu grabbed two bags, "We have to move them out first to avoid suspicion."
Before Tang Yibu's voice fell, someone approached the carriage. Even with the mask on his face, Ruan Xian took precautions to turn his face to the shadows. Tang Yibu squatted down, hid his body, and pretended to handle the bag.
"Loach, the boss of Huaban Qian is very satisfied with the new products of Huaban. You two don't need to do this, just wait outside the door. He said that when he finishes receiving the goods, he will be the first to see you two."
"Understood." Tang Yibu replied, his voice was exactly the same as the man who had just talked to Hua Peacock. "Didn't you say eight o'clock? It's only half past seven. There's still half an hour left."
"Boss Qian wants you to wait, just wait, what nonsense. Why don't you two go out for a drink? Why, you want to work so much."
"Let's go now." Tang Yibu turned his back, hooked Ruan Xian's neck, and pressed down the blood gun in the opponent's hand. This time he used the voice of the flower peacock "piebald".
After all, the two of them slipped out of the car along the blind corner of the man's field of vision. The man who had started to bow down and tidied his handbags, bowed his head and passed another group of people who came to help.
Outside the warehouse is a maze-like corridor. It can be seen that other buildings have been temporarily remodeled. Many rooms are firmly welded by metal plates. The camera was spinning in every corner, Ruan Xian recalled the vain steps of the flower peacock, and tried his best to imitate it. He reluctantly followed the voice and the remaining temperature in the air, trying not to show any hesitation or hesitation.
There were a few scattered people passing by them on the road. They were also wearing ill-fitting suits and their faces were covered by gas masks. Several had dark, suspicious stains on their clothing. No one came up to say hello, Ruan Xian was so happy to ignore it.
There are only stairs leading to the ground.
As the two descended step by step, fewer and fewer abandoned doors were sealed, and there were more and more prison doors with bloody and rotten smells behind them. The decoration of the corridors has also become more and more elaborate, and they flow through the river of whimpering, crying and moaning, and into the more and more gorgeous lights.
The floor beneath my feet changed from cracked cement to tile to fleece. The spray-painted pattern full of slurs around it turned into a reproduction of an oil painting. The air began to become fresh, and the stench and cries for help faded behind him. However, Qian Yigeng was not a researcher. Ruan Xian used his peripheral vision to scan the surrounding environment. The style of the camera has not changed from beginning to end, and the planning is also scattered, leaving a lot of dead spots.
The first few isolation doors were simply entered by swiping the wrist ring, and the last one took a lot of thought and changed it to iris additional fingerprint recognition. This obstacle obviously couldn't stop Tang Yibu, he was about to press his palm up
Ruan Xian grabbed his wrist.
"There are not many voices inside, and there is nothing special." He whispered, "Go over there first, I heard something else."
Tang Yibu stopped obediently, and dragged Ruan Xian to the other corner of the corridor maze. After unknowingly passing through a few similar doors, Tang Yibu repeated his old tricks and had to manually crack the electronic lock in front of him. Ruan Xian smiled and shook his head, and opened the door with the electronic wristband of the flower peacock.
"This will leave traces." Tang Yibu raised his eyebrows.
"What I want is to leave traces." Ruan Xian winked and walked in. "There's a man inside, very close to the door, get ready."
The door creaked softly, and the man sitting in the chair was about to turn his head when he was directly hit on the back of the head by the wrist ring thrown by Tang Yibu, and fainted softly to the ground.
"I understand." The android raised his head and looked at the countless light screens floating in front of him
This is the surveillance guard room.
"I prefer to spend time here than waiting." Ruan Xian jumped onto the console and sat without any scruples. Tang Yibu put his hands on his waist and operated the monitoring program smoothly.
"I like it more here, too." The android sounded delighted, like he had gotten a new toy. "Let me clear out a few retreat routes first."
"Help me see if there is a research room or a data room."
Ruan Xian slowly raised his opponent's arm and jumped back to the ground from the side gap. He casually pulled dozens of light screen groups and looked at them one by one.
"I'm going to see if there's anything in those cells just now"
Tang Yibu's movements stopped abruptly, and he stiffened. Among the densely packed light screens, one of them was stopping in front of Tang Yibu. There was no one there, and it looked ordinary.
After Ruan Xian got close, he discovered the source of the other party's stiffness.
A mechanical wheelchair is parked in the corner of the room that looks a lot like a collection room, with fine details and a very familiar look.
It was the wheelchair of "another self".
