'Unknown Mechanical Lifeforms', or 'UMO' for short, are unidentified species that have gradually appeared in human society in the past six months. Its main characteristics are: it has a high degree of similarity with the mechanical life forms in human fantasy, can evade almost all existing detection equipment, has strong combat effectiveness, and has a certain degree of deformation ability......

"All in all, we have to understand that to humans, they are ten times more of a threat than those monsters from the deep sea!" Victor Stone from Drance Labs waved his fist, "Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if one day they replace humans to rule this planet, this mechanical life form is so highly evolved! too high that it shouldn't be on Earth at all!"

In the midst of the buzzing discussion, the people present exchanged ears, although they were all elites drawn from various departments, but they still showed a normal degree of surprise when faced with this kind of plot that would have only appeared in movies.

"Professor Victor, may I ask a question?"

"Okay, please. ”

"At the moment, do we have a sufficiently effective way to identify these, these anomalous individuals?"

"It's a pity, my friend. Victor shrugged, "We can barely notice anything different unless we do a major surgery-level examination." Their bio-simulation skills are beyond imagination, and to be honest," the man scratched his hair, "they're like a T-1000, and an enhanced one." ”

"So, Professor, do you think they're extraterrestrial life?" another person asked, raising his hand, "Why do unknown species with such technological power disguise and blend into human society?"

"I can't answer your question at the moment, because no one knows why. "It doesn't matter, it's how we deal with these malicious visitors." ”

......

The second half of the meeting was a bit chaotic, and even with all the best training, there was a strong sense of curiosity about the shocking truth and all sorts of bizarre questions were asked. After the thirty-minute ventilation session, Victor felt like he had been working all night for days, tired enough.

After packing up the papers, Victor was about to leave, when he saw Martin, who was from the same project team as him, squeezed over, this guy who had always been well-informed, "Hey, Victor, I have good news for you, Dr. Lucius's research has made a major breakthrough." ”

Under the thick lenses, the slightly cloudy eyeballs rolled for a moment, and Victor Stone stopped what he was doing, "Lucius? I remember he was in charge...... The Macrorose large armed mecha project provided by Lord Spruce is "?"

"Yes, yes," Martin's expression was a little exaggerated, his eyes widened, and he whispered excitedly, "The prototype has already carried out a combat mission, clearing a large militant gathering place in the place of Cactus, destroying a total of twelve armored vehicles, two helicopter gunships, as well as six speedboats and more than two thousand armed men. After a pause, he made an explosive gesture, "I didn't suffer any serious damage at all, and it took less than half an hour to prepare!"

He opened his mouth, about to say something. Suddenly, there was a short, frightened scream outside the door, followed by heavy footsteps and nervous shouts, and the crackling sound of a stun gun, and a pungent smell of burnt paste began to fill the air, and within a minute, two heavily armed guards pushed the door open, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, you must return to the lab now to be safe." ”

"Wait, I mean, what's going on out there?"

"A mechanical lifeform lurking among us. After a brief explanation, the guard, whose whole body was wrapped in thick exoskeleton armor, waved his hand, "Gentlemen, please go this way, I'm sorry to have seen you this kind of scene when I first came here, but you will get used to it in the future." Now, let's go get checked. ”

In the small dormitory, the gray-haired girl reclined at the head of the bed, her eyes empty. She was watching what was happening in the ever-deepening underground base.

"A bunch of idiots. Retracting her gaze from the network of monitors, Spruce once again looked at the floating metal model in front of her, countless tiny squares forming one image after another with a completely different temperament under her gaze. Among these fleeting figures, the most frequent appearance is a tall human figure surrounded by bright stars, he has a face of Su Xing who is about thirty years old, his expression is cold and hard, and there is no human taste at all.

"Ha-ah-" Sighing heavily, the gray-haired girl pressed down with one hand, pressing the metal model into a thin metal plate, and wiped it with her right index finger, a faint light flashed on the metal plate, and the whole room instantly changed its appearance.

Huge consoles of translucent lines replaced the furniture in the room, curved displays on the walls around it, and a little farther away, in the hazy light, there seemed to be more strange creatures busibling about them.

"Your Excellency, this is this month's list. The middle-aged man who appeared behind her, with most of his head covered in silver-white metal, and one eye was also replaced by an electronic eye that flashed red, and he bent down slightly and handed the Chinese piece to Spruce.

The black tail nimbly touched the electronic document, "Okay, I already know, in the coming month, we must make no less than four thousand half-machine humans. As for the raw materials...... there was a moment of silence, "I allow you to go and capture all kinds of elites among the human race, and only enough elite subordinates can complete the next task." ”

"Your will, Your Excellency. After bowing, the figure of the secretary dissipated into fine particles, and she propped up the table with both hands, lost in thought.

......

Even today, there are still many places on Earth that humans do not want to enter, such as the Sahara Desert, where the climate has become more strange and terrible. Endless sandstorms have turned millions of square kilometers into a forbidden place for humanity.

In the midst of the billowing sand, a tawny flying creature resembling a manta ray was suspended low above the desert, a dusky sky above its head, and dozens of salons from near and far were rolling up the sky. In its command hall, Spruce's holographic projection stood motionless on the main console, unsure of what to think.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing that these portals to the 'real-virtual world' are appearing. ”

"Believe in your evil genius!" Su Xing dropped the miracle scroll, "These things expand and go deeper, maybe they will be connected to the first level!

Spreading her hands, Su Zhenxue looked innocent, "Oops, then I can't help it, or, you recruit more apostles and let them clean up these virtual worlds?"
