"Ding Dong, Ding Dong~", the sound of the doorbell is abruptly inserted in the sound of the work background music of the indoor broadcast.

"Boss, your pizza delivery has been delivered", Murphy's electronic voice rang out.

"Tell the delivery guy to have his stuff delivered upstairs", Crescent Moon was busy in front of the computer, her stomach was already hungry, and the time was five minutes slower than expected.

"It's a shame that the delivery guy has left and your pizza is at the door."

Xinyue was helpless, scratching her head, she didn't like to be interrupted what she was doing, according to Ning Fei, this was a quirk, so she shouted: "Headshot, take a pizza, the first floor of the building!" ”

"Huh? ~ This is a long time ago, I don't like this nickname, and this is your attitude of asking for help", Ning Fei responded dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, genius inventor, do you have time to get a pizza?" , Crescent asked in a polite voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm not available for the time being," Ning Fei said proudly as he continued to weld the motherboard of the mechanical breastplate on the workbench.

"Okay, okay", Crescent Moon muttered to herself, pressing a virtual button, and the welding torch and lighting power supply in Ning Fei's hand suddenly lost power, and at the same time, the mechanical arm closest to Ning Fei sprayed a white fire extinguishing spray at Ning Fei.

"What did you do?! Oh my God~ Stop, stop! ”

Ning Fei was defenseless, and an angry cry came from the thick white fire extinguishing spray.

The extinguishing spray on the two robotic arms is still spraying alternately.

"Oh ~ I'm sorry", Xinyue hurriedly changed the instruction, and the mechanical arm sprayed left and right twice before it stopped and restored the power, Xinyue explained embarrassedly: "I just cut off the power ......"

Ning Fei's clothes and hair were messy, "That's a fire-extinguishing procedure, don't quibble, you're not good at it at all." ”

Xinyue nodded, while continuing to explain: "Yes, yes, um~ I'm hungry, when a woman is hungry, it is inevitable that there will be some irrational little actions, I apologize." However, pizza ...... Can? ”

Ning Fei dusted off his clothes and hair, looking helpless, for fear that this guy would make trouble for himself again, so he decided to take a leg run.

Ning Fei put on the mechanical breastplate and mechanical gloves for himself, and connected them with the devices he was already wearing to form a complete battle armor.

"Murphy, help me open the window and get some air."

"Yes, sir."

Two floor-to-ceiling glass windows opened to both sides, and Ning Fei began to walk in his battle armor, and when he reached the edge of the open floor-to-ceiling windows, he turned around, turned his back outward, and fell on his back.

The heavy mechanical armor began to fall freely along with the people, and Ning Fei looked at the roof of the building that was speeding away, and the wind whistled in his ears.

"Boom~", the sound sounded.

The thrusters on the back of the mechanical armor activated, and twelve freely steerable jet holes, arranged in an array on the left and right, sprayed out blue flames, stopping Ning Fei's downward trend. The boosters on his hands and legs, under Ning Fei's flexible invocation, made his body turn in a beautiful arc like a dazzling skill in the air, turned over, and slowly descended.

But within half a minute, there were several sounds of the glass curtain wall crashing and shattering outside, and a mechanical glove reached up from below, grabbing the edge of the laboratory floor through the open floor-to-ceiling window, Ning Fei climbed up with difficulty, his hands were empty, he shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I guess the delivery man ate the pizza." ”

Xinyue put her hand on her forehead, feeling a headache, Ning Fei's lame thruster couldn't fly up to the roof of the building stably, "Murphy, check the damaged location of the curtain wall of the building and arrange the repair work." ”

"Boss, Corning can provide you with higher strength plexiglass."

"I'll think about it. Well? Did the hacker hack you, Murphy? This is not an ad break. ”

"This can't be", it was Ning Fei who was taking off his armor and speaking.

"yes, I think you're the biggest hacker here."

"AI programs can learn to become smarter," Murphy defended himself.

"No, don't use that word", Crescent Moon shook her index finger, "Programs don't have intelligence, you're only based on algorithms, and humans are wise." ”

"It's hard to say."

Xinyue looked at Ning Fei in bewilderment, waiting for his understanding of the different perspectives of artificial intelligence, Ning Fei was an expert-level in this field.

Ning Fei faced Xinyue's gaze, but was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It depends on the person." ”

"Ding~"

The elevator door in the center of the building opened, and someone came up.

"It's time for lunch, don't let the pizza go cold."

A woman whose clothes are somewhat torn and there are still abrasions on her face, but still can't hide her sexy woman, is carrying a pizza delivery that is still hot.

"Caitlin!"

Xinyue and Ning Fei were surprised at the same time.

Ning Fei saw Caitlyn with a strange expression in front of him, and walked forward with Dr. Crescent, and asked in a solemn tone, "Are they back again?" ”

Caitlyn shook her head, "It's not the people from last time, it's another group of people, Patton has an accident, and the others haven't come back yet." ”

Hearing this, Xinyue's heart tightened and said, "How could such a thing happen suddenly? ”

"Are you badly injured? It seems that the wound needs to be treated first", Ning Fei turned around and went to find the medicine box and handed it to Xinyue.

"It's no big deal," Caitlyn looked at Ning Fei's back, and then spoke, "I need reinforcements." ”

"I no longer belong to the Union Army, I no longer fight for the Union Army."

Caitlin sighed, feeling a little lost, but didn't say much.

Ning Fei returned to the workbench, put a armor glove equipped with a weapon system on his left hand, and when activated, he made the sound of the mechanism running, and said, "However, I am ready."

......

Caitlin changed her uniform, disguised as Dr. Crescent's assistant, and the low-key jeep pulled out of the Quantum Mansion parking lot without attracting anyone's attention.

148 West 24th Street, Bob & Barbara's Bar, New York City.

Dr. Crescent was here for the first time, but Ning Fei remembered this place very well, and below this bar was a stronghold of the Intelligence Bureau, and everything about what happened afterwards began here.

The bar was still unattended as always, and the group took the elevator into the basement.

There were no Confederate staff in the stronghold, apparently special arrangements were made for the place, only in one of the rooms, there was a doctor and a nurse, and lying on the bed was the seriously wounded Colonel Patton.

Seeing Caitlyn return, the doctor and nurse said hello and left the room.

Barton was covered in straps up and down, glad he was still able to open his eyes and speak, "Five broken ribs, a broken hand and a leg, bullets in his lungs and shoulders, and he almost drowned." ”

"You'll be fine, Barton," Crescent said.

"I'm so glad to see you, Doctor", Barton was genuinely happy, his injuries stabilized, Dr. Crescent Moon has the most advanced medical technology.

Ning Fei had quarreled with Barton not long ago, and he didn't know what to say at the moment, and he didn't give any explanation for leaving the Alliance Army, but just asked, "Who did it?" ”

Patton didn't directly answer the question of who was going to kill him, but instead said, "The Space Invaders incident is related to Hellfire." ”

Ning Fei had had great doubts about the space invader incident before, but he was still very surprised to hear the news from Patton's mouth, even if it was a vague sentence, but from Patton's mouth, there must be real evidence.

As Barton says that there is a connection between the Space Invaders and Hellfire, and that the Coalition Council is pushing for a military joint operation with Hellfire on space defense, Ning Fei and Crescent see a greater concern in each other's eyes.

"Gotta stop them as soon as possible," Crescent said worriedly.

Barton shook his head, "We don't know where the enemy is yet, the result of the referendum in the Union Parliament follows the wishes of the vast majority of citizens, and the whole world becomes a marionette of fear, and if you stand on the opposite side of the people, you will become evil and will be torn to shreds." ”

"When did you learn politics," Caitlin quipped.

"Right after the surgery."

Caitlin didn't continue the topic, turned on the TV on the wall, and replayed today's morning news, "After the results of the alliance referendum came out, the Hellfire Legion didn't even hesitate, and couldn't wait to throw an olive branch, expressing that they have a high interest in the military joint action of the two sides, and it is their unshirkable mission and belief to protect human civilization, and the military and political representatives of the alliance and hellfire will have an official meeting tomorrow to draw up the framework of this strategic cooperation, and the venue is in Rio." ”

"We have to do something, revenge, a tooth for a tooth", Ning Fei said with a serious and complicated look in his eyes.
