Chapter 304: Trying to Catch the Dead

After that, Xiaomei talked to Winster about everything that happened in Antarctica, from the initial polar storm and forced into hibernation, to the recent awakening and encounter with Qiao Lu and others, and the destruction of Blackclaw's intelligent machinery production base in Antarctica, all of which were described in great detail.

Winston couldn't help but sigh, "It's so hard for you to have so much happened, Xiaomei." โ€

"You must have had a hard time, right?"

From Winston, Mei also learns more about the ins and outs of Overwatch's disbandment, especially the disagreement between the two leaders, Reyes and Morrison.

"Not long ago, the Grim Reaper attacked this place in an attempt to steal the personal information of all the Overwatch members. Thankfully, I didn't let him get his wayยทยทยทยทยทยท But maybe he's already succeeded, and we're all targeted anyway. โ€

Winster sighed and said that the Grim Reaper's invasion was one of the reasons why he decided to reconvene Overwatch.

It alone is not enough to compete with Blackclaw, or even an ape, and if the other Overwatch members fight on their own, they will be easily defeated by the other party one by one.

"How many people have you found now?" Xiaomei asked curiously, "Why are you still the only one here?" โ€

Winston replied, "At the moment, Sky Hunter, Reinhardt, Genji, and Angel have all answered the call and will be here soon." McRae said he had something to do, but would bring a gift. As for the others, I haven't been in touch yet. โ€

"Yes." Xiaomei's face showed a hint of worry, "I don't know how the others are doing now." โ€

"They'll be fine." Winston patted his chest like an orangutan and said, "It must have been a busy time lately." โ€

During the conversation between Xiaomei and Winston, Qiao Lu has been quietly observing Winston's laboratory, examining every tool on the table.

I have to say that this gorilla does have the capital of a self-proclaimed scientist, a Tesla cannon that can shoot electricity, a heavy armor with a jetpack, and a barrier generator that can absorb damage in one direction, each of which is a very remarkable invention, worthy of being genetically modified with high intelligence.

If there were more genetically modified animals like it, then what would happen in this world would no longer be a cyber crisis, but a war of the planets of the apes.

Maybe it's even more terrifying than the Robotics Crisis.

Just as Qiao Lu picked up the barrier generator on the table to take a closer look, Winston and Xiaomei happened to come out of the room. Seeing that Qiao Lu's finger was about to touch the switch of the barrier generator, Winston hurriedly shouted:

"Don't touch it!"

Unfortunately, it was too late at this time, and the barrier generator first radiated energy upwards, forming a small energy shield, which appeared in Qiao Lu's palm like a crystal ball.

But then the shield disappeared, replaced by four red signs with the words "Fail" neatly written in English.

Then the energy of the barrier generator was about to explode uncontrollably, and just when Winston thought that Qiao Lu would be blown out, the nano armor had already wrapped Qiao Lu's hands, and immediately released a burst of freezing gas from the palm of his hand, freezing the barrier generator at the last moment, preventing the explosion from happening.

Winston watched in amazement as the nanomaterials slowly faded away from Qiao Lu's hands, and it was the first time he had seen such high-end nanotechnology. At the same time, the gas that instantly froze the barrier generator was obviously Xiaomei's technique, but it seemed that Qiao Lu was already more skilled in using this technique than Xiaomei.

"I'm sorry, your invention is so surprising that I can't help but be curious."

Of course, this is just on the surface, Qiao Lu actually wanted to test the performance of the barrier generator, but he didn't expect that this device was not completely completed.

Winston hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, your technology is amazing, how exactly is this nano armor made?" There is also Xiaomei's freezing technology, it seems that you have completely mastered it. โ€

Qiao Lu smiled: "It's all thanks to Xiaomei, otherwise I would have been blown out now." โ€

He gently lowered the barrier generator in his hand, since this was only a defective product, there was no need to put more effort into it.

"Maybe we can work together further, exchange information and discuss technology together, and it will be good for both of us," he suggested to Winston. โ€

"But I don't know your details yet." Winston asked, suspiciously, "Thank you for saving Mei, but cooperation always needs to be based on more understanding." โ€

Qiao Lu had no choice but to say half-truthfully: "We are a coalition government, a joint military organization established by countries around the world, currently headquartered in Antarctica, fighting for all mankind like your Overwatch. โ€

"Coalition government? Why have I never heard of it? Winston asked, confused.

Although it has remained at the Gibraltar monitoring station since the disbandment of Overwatch, waiting for the day when the Overwatch heroes return, it has also been paying attention to the outside world, how could it be that it has never heard of the existence of such an organization.

"Because it's not time yet." Qiao Lu continued, "Our enemies are still hiding in the shadows, so we can't expose ourselves yet. โ€

"Who do you mean by enemy?"

Winston keenly grasped the point of Jorry's words, and it was clear that it wasn't simply referring to Blackclaw and the Rebel Intelligence.

"The true power that controls this world." Qiao Lu said succinctly.

Winston fell silent for a moment, it wasn't that it didn't realize that there were more conspiracies behind the Blackclaw and the Robotics Crisis, but it didn't have time to take care of them, and just fighting Blackclaw was already exhausting.

"Don't you think there's something strange about the dissolution of Overwatch in the first place? What is the purpose of Blackclaw's efforts to start a war between humans and sapient machines? Is Zhitong simply pursuing the peaceful coexistence of people and intelligent machines? Have you ever wondered what is behind all this? โ€

Winston was forced to back down by Joru's series of questions, and to be honest, it wasn't that it didn't suspect all of this, but it was not capable of investigating.

Now all these questions have been re-thrown by Qiao Lu, but it doesn't know how to deal with it.

Through these previously acquired clues, Qiao Lu successfully turned against the guest, allowing Winston to divert his attention from the coalition government itself to these huge conspiracies.

"We're investigating the truth of all this, so if you're interested, come back to me."

Qiao Lu left his contact information and left the Gibraltar monitoring station
