Now that they knew that there was someone or something hiding in the shadows to attack them, Lan Zhiyuan and the others naturally would not sit idly by.

Only this time they really kicked the iron plate, or should I say it, they really hit the iron plate. After all, although they say that they have their own strengths, and when they are on the earth, they can hold their heads high, and unceremoniously say that the strength of their few people is worthy of an army.

However, there is no one who is good at this aspect of machine and human intelligence systems.

It's not that I don't know anything, but it only stops at a certain level. At least, before that, they didn't find any anomalies in the intelligence systems of those captured machines, and even the signalers were manipulated by the other party, and they only found out after the fact.

Well, there is no connection between Bai Qiang and the hedgehog, which is the most obvious slap in the face.

After all, even in the Federation, most of the researchers who study things like the Machine-Qì are pure psychic powers. Those people's bodies are generally very weak, and some are even three points weaker than ordinary people, how can they enter the army?

As for the remaining few people, they are either not proficient in learning and art, or they are a very small number of real ordinary people. It's useless for the former to come, and the latter, as an ordinary person who stays in the institute every day, doesn't mention it. Obviously, it is impossible for these people to go through the interstellar trek and come here to play.

So they are at an impasse for a moment.

A trap that is likely to have been dug up by the Interstellar Alliance a long time ago, and they now have to jump even though they know that there is one.

However, it is the best team in the Federation, and although Xu Shuoyang and the others did not disperse anyone, they also dismantled two of the people they brought with them while contacting the hedgehog.

Although they don't have the ability to do anything to each other's machines, who knows what the other side will do?

The two people chosen by Xu Shuoyang were the two people who were "working" in the area closest to the direction where Charlene had disappeared. After taking down their intelligent systems, they did not focus too much on detecting whether they were passive, but turned on the video recording system in the intelligent system, and all the contents of the "memories" of the two people before and after Charlene's disappearance were all revealed.

Cut out the two videos separately, and then zoom in and look forward little by little.

Lan Zhiyuan assisted the other party's work from beginning to end, but when he saw Xu Shuoyang carefully studying every detail picture by picture like this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

It seems that Xia Lin, a student who is not even a "nominal name", has a lot of place in Xu Shuoyang's heart. After all, this is no small project.

Thinking like this, Lan Zhiyuan also took a video, put it in his wrist device, and opened the virtual screen to study.

Racing against time, they must do their best to find Charlene's whereabouts, contact the hedgehog, and at least ensure Bai Qiang's safety.

All of a sudden, the already tense atmosphere of everyone became even more tense.

When she regained consciousness, Charlene only felt groggy in her head and some pain in her neck, which was not very strong, but it was obviously impossible to ignore.

What's wrong with her?

After the reaction in her mind slowed down for half a beat, Charlene was suddenly shocked in her heart! Who knocked her out and what was going to be done?!

"You're awake." Just when Charlene was secretly vigilant in her heart, a stiff male voice that seemed to be synthesized electronically sounded near her.

Charlene was startled for a moment, then as if she had thought of something, the expression on her face changed instantly, and then she opened her eyes calmly and slowly.

When Charlene opened her eyes, she saw a half-human, half-animal figure standing opposite her.

Although he stood upright like a person, instead of on all fours like before, the whole thing made people see at first glance that it was a beast type, but the shell of the other party's "body" was the same as the cheetah in Charlene's memory, which still undoubtedly made Charlene recognize his identity.

"You...... What is it...... Person? Charlene asked with some hesitation.

Or should I say, is it a human being?

But Charlene naturally didn't ask this sentence. Soon, she was glad she hadn't asked.

"Me?" The beast-shaped machine Qì Man No. 2 didn't seem to expect Xia Lin to ask this, so he actually paused for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, before answering with some uncertainty. "I've forgotten what my name was when I was a human being. But I later gave myself a name, called the Leopard, which is the third generation of the Interstellar Alliance's beast-type machine......"

"You're human?" The worldview that was instantly refreshed made Charlene can't help but be shocked while keenly grasping the key points.

How is this possible!

A human being has actually become a machine qì person! Moreover, it is also a beast-type machine! It's simply ......

And that name, the torture leopard, the star leopard, is obviously the name that was given after the pearl of the sea of stars? Does this guy really have such a deep love for this planet?

Charlene felt that her worldview was already being restructured.

"Ever." The leopard looked like he didn't care, as if he didn't care at all about his experiences and past as a human being, and even his former relatives and friends.

Such a cool but casual tone, for the first time, made Charlene feel cold from her back to her heart, the tiles were cool, and she was swishing cold.

"You volunteered?" Charlene didn't seem to focus on this either, but muttered something in disbelief, and then suddenly asked.

"I think it should be." The leopard didn't seem to notice Charlene's heart at all. Or rather, he was gloating, as if he was glad that his experience had frightened the other party.

"After all, unlike them, I don't reject the appearance of the beast-type mecha at all, and I like it very much, and I have a good adaptability......" I don't know if there is usually no one to talk to at all, or if the topic that Charlene said poked the most proud part of the leopard, the other party was unusually not the first time to threaten Charlene or even interrogate him, but talked about his own affairs with great interest.

Charlene's heart was even colder.

From the words of the other party, it is clear that the number of people they have on this planet is obviously not just one, or even just two. Obviously, in addition to the one who knocked her out, at least one more person went to cause trouble for Bai Qiang. And if there is any trouble for the beast-type machine to find Chu Ci and others, she can't do it for the time being.

Especially hedgehogs.

I can only hope that the other party's good luck has not been met.

However, these thoughts only swirled in her heart, and Charlene continued to pay attention to the high-spirited and high-minded person in front of her, while quietly guiding the other party's topic and extracting important information over and over again.

Through the other party's narration, Charlene only then realized that whether it was the beast-type machine qì person before or the one in front of her now, in fact, before becoming a machine qì person, all of them were human beings! Moreover, they are all people with strong personalities, strong willpower, and no low force value.

I don't know if it's to make these people better managed after they are converted into machine people, or to avoid some involuntary machine people from "running away from home", they have been erased from those memories and traces of life before they were "alive".

Even if you want to get your memories back, it's difficult, not to mention that the person in front of you obviously doesn't plan to find it at all, but is quite proud that he has become a beast-type machine.

Not only is the appearance much stronger than the original, but also the force value and other aspects are much better than when they were human. In addition, because their brains have actually been bound to or even fused with the intelligence system of the beast-type machine, they have reached the point of "immortality" in a sense, and it is no wonder that the other party is so proud.

Of course, perhaps what makes the other party more proud is that there are very few beast-type machines. There are already few experiments, and even fewer are successful, and for other reasons, although the number of beast-type machines in the Interstellar Alliance has increased to a few, there is no doubt that the number is still small.

The technology of the beast-type machine qì people has actually matured, especially the private real room formed by the group of people in the core of the Federation. In fact, these beast-shaped machines were all made by that real room.

It's just that because it's a human brain, and it's a living human brain, it's directly extracted and stuffed into it, which is too murderous, and there is a great struggle with humanitarianism, plus later, because of this incident, many ordinary people were arrested, so it was strictly forbidden, and the Interstellar Alliance has not been forced to make it public.

It is also for this reason that people like them, who have been secretly created and have become "outdated", can only be assigned to these planets where no human is willing to oversee the work.

But these are not the point, the point is that the excitement and anticipation when the other party mentioned that he was lucky to be successfully converted and became a machine made Charlene even more melancholy.

What she wanted to say, such as losing the identity of a human being would be painful, such as being a human being without human rights, such as ......

But obviously, for the other party, it doesn't matter if they lose their human body...... Is it?

Looking at the man in front of her who had completely become a machine, Charlene looked confused.

"Huh, what, you look down on me?" I don't know if it was stimulated by Charlene's eyes, the man walked around in front of Charlene a little irritablely, and sneered at Charlene in a vicious tone.

"No, I just can't understand that if you give up even your own body, then even if you have a powerful force, what can you do?"

"As long as you are strong enough, as long as you can have absolutely powerful force, what's wrong with being a machine?" The leopard's tone was a little stiff, and it was obvious that Charlene's topic made him a little unhappy.

"Do you know what I am now? It's a mecha! Mecha! Although the size is a little smaller, although it has not yet reached the most powerful point, although it is only an experimental product, it is also a real mecha! The leopard's attitude was agitated, as if he had been provoked all of a sudden.

"Sooner or later, only mecha will be able to conquer the entire universe!"

Charlene was completely shocked by the other party's words and thoughts.

It turns out that with different backgrounds and different environments, can people's thinking really deviate to this point?

Mecha or something...... Although she didn't know much about it, in her memory, it seemed to ...... It's the same thing as a combat uniform, right?

Instead of...... Like in front of you, all the cranial nerves of a living person are extracted, and after fusing with the intelligent system, a person's life is attached to the body of a bunch of beast-type machines!

Although she is very willing to admit that the other party's invention is great, amazing, amazing, and ...... However, it does not mean that she can accept the direction and results of the other party's use.

Put the cart before the horse!

No, it's not right, it's buying and returning the pearls!

No, no, no......

Charlene's mind was in turmoil.

This fact stimulated Charlene, and she learned that because of the deviation of the cultural fault, although the people of the Interstellar Alliance knew Gundam and mecha, they had a deviation in their specific cognition.

They simply don't fundamentally understand the relationship between mecha and humans.

Even, I don't understand that the existence of mecha is to assist humans, not ...... Depriving a person of his or her identity as a human being.

It's simply ......

"Hedgehog, how are you doing there?" Just when Lan Zhiyuan and Xu Shuoyang were looking through the memories of the Jiqì people, He Ning and He Yuan also quickly contacted the hedgehog.

It's just that the other party didn't respond, and it wasn't until half an hour later that the hedgehog sent the communication to Lan Zhiyuan's wriststick.

"There are also organic qì people lurking in the underground mining area, the combat type, suspected to be very intelligent, slightly different from the appearance of ordinary humans, and it looks like a mixed bloodline of humans and beasts......"

The hedgehog calmly recounted that he had been attacked not long after leaving, and more than once, so much so that he almost broke the injured signal, and then stared at the other party coldly. "You've met it too?"

"Yes." Lan Zhiyuan smiled bitterly. "Moreover, there are obviously more than one or two people in this strange mining area, you are careful all the way, and quickly come back to gather, and the boss will arrive soon."

"Okay." Hearing that the other party had something to say, the hedgehog didn't ask much, nodded neatly, and then ended the call.

Lan Zhiyuan: ...... Boy, what about the politeness you say?

Chu Ci took Lu Weiming and Du Qinglin with them, I don't know if it was because of the strong aura or because the other party saw that there were three of them, and it was not easy to start, but Chu Ci and the others walked very safely, normally and exemplaryly, and the standard was simply that.

But in fact, it is clearly not so peaceful.

put the footage that Lan Zhiyuan and Xu Shuoyang had already reviewed into his wrist instrument, and asked the two of them to take him and Lu Weiming together to carefully examine the scene of Xia Lin's disappearance. R1152
