Text 054. The Secret of the Road Mark

Perhaps because it was a temporary shelter, the area of this underground space did not seem to be too large, and after following Catherine through a corridor, Zhao Yu immediately saw Dr. Thomas Biggson.

Although he had heard the name more than once before, it was the first time Zhao Yu had seen the doctor himself. According to what he knows, Thomas Biggson was born in the mid-to-late 21st century and is about to turn 90 years old, even at this age in the 22nd century, it can be called a long life, but the doctor in front of him looks like he is not aging, and can even be described as "strong", if it weren't for the snow-white hair and beard and some wrinkles on his face betrayed him, Zhao Yu might think that this is a professional athlete who has just retired for a few years.

"I've finally met you, Mr. Zhao Yu." The tall Dr. Thomas stretched out his hand to Zhao Yu, "I've been waiting for your arrival." ”

Zhao Yu reflexively shook hands, but the doubts in his heart lingered: "Doctor, I have heard of you, and your plan...... But what exactly is required of me? ”

The doctor nodded to Catherine, and the dark-haired woman bowed slightly, turned and left the room.

"T19 should have revealed some information to you." The doctor didn't continue to speak until the door was completely closed, "You should know that you're a candidate for Project Twilight now, right?" ”

Zhao Yu shrugged: "I can't help myself." ”

"The fact that you came here alive is a testament to your strength...... I believe you also know that you now have combat power beyond ordinary people. The doctor looked at Zhao Yu, but a trace of worry appeared on his face, "But how much do you think you are still different from T19?" ”

"Much worse." Zhao Yu was also blunt, "You mean, my strength as an alternate is still not enough, so you plan to create another T19?" But what does it have to do with me? ”

"The road is on you." The doctor replied, "That's one of the most crucial things about Project Twilight......"

"Is it a road sign?!" Zhao Yu immediately took out the pistol when he heard this word, "Doctor, because of Gabriel, I still respect you very much, I hope you can make things clear before I get too excited, so that it will be good for us." ”

Dr. Thomas looked at the pistol and suddenly laughed, "Calm down, Mr. Zhao Yu...... I've heard that you've had some bad experiences in the town of Bodwell, and trust me, you won't encounter anything like that here. ”

"Then please elaborate, Doctor." Zhao Yu didn't put down the gun, "Since you know the Dao Mark, then you must also know that the aliens have been in contact with me and told me something?" ”

Dr. Thomas tapped his head, "Oh yes, you can't be separated from the Dao Mark, and the only way to separate them is to kill youβ€”but I'm not going to strip the Dao Mark from you, as Ambassador Lake told you, that will only kill you." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Thomas turned and opened a door behind him: "You come with me." ”

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally followed the doctor into the door.

There are no warnings in the brain.

The room behind the doctor was almost crammed with instruments, but what stood out was a large guy in the center of the room, which took up at least half of the room, wrapped in a thick metal shell, and Zhao Yu couldn't tell what it was at all.

As if knowing Zhao Yu's doubts, the doctor pressed a few keys on an instrument beside him, only to see the metal shell slowly slide open, revealing the transparent lid inside.

Zhao Yu saw at a glance what was in this vessel: a pale body, pale hairβ€”it was Gabriel Bradley.

"The successor to the T19, the T20." Dr. Thomas explained, "It's not the companion you once was, it's a completely separate entity...... But now it has a fatal flaw. ”

Zhao Yu looked at the doctor curiously, waiting for him to continue.

"T19 is doing pretty well, but that's based on the fact that it has plenty of time to learn and absorb. The T20 doesn't have that time, and I can't risk unleashing the instinctive T20. ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask: "What does the T20 look like with only instinct?" ”

The doctor was silent for a few seconds: "Combat machine." A pure fighting machine, attacking and destroying all targets in sight without discrimination. The ultimate goal of Project Dusk is to create the strongest human warriors...... Or rather, let the aliens think it's a human warrior. ”

"Aliens...... Ahmeds? Zhao Yu asked, "What are they going to do?" ”

Dr. Thomas shook his head: "Ambassador Lake didn't tell me the details, I can only roughly infer that the assessment of the Ahmeds is for individual earthlings, so the earthlings participating in this test must be as strong as possible." The Atlantic Alliance seems to have come to a similar conclusion, but with the understanding that there is a need to create stronger bionic individuals, not to strengthen humans themselves...... I'm sure you've seen a lot of their works along the way. ”

"Bionic Zoo." Zhao Yu sighed, but immediately remembered another question, "Wait a minute, manufacturing finished products one by one like you, the quantity is so small...... Can you determine which Earthlings the Ahmeds will choose to take the test? ”

"No, so we need signposts." Dr. Thomas replied, "Now I can tell you why." ”

"Daobiao", from the early technical achievements of the Bad Minns and the earth, its role is to resonate with the Galactic Civilization Commonwealth, originally used for the space positioning of the Civilization Commonwealth, because the earthlings failed to pass the assessment, this technology was shelved, in the eyes of most insiders, the earthlings who were confined to the solar system may not have the opportunity to do such a positioning with other members of the Civilization Commonwealth for hundreds of years.

However, after the start of the Ahmed assessment, the almost forgotten technology of "Dao Biao" was unexpectedly revitalized: it can resonate with the Ammed technology that is also a member of the Commonwealth of Civilizations - in other words, the person who holds the Dao Marker will automatically become a participant in the Ahmed exam because of the resonance!

"So at the beginning, you hoped that T19 would find the road mark, and now you want T20 to get the road mark and become a contestant, right......" Zhao Yu was suddenly stunned when he said this, "Wait a minute...... Wouldn't I be too?! ”

"You were originally an alternate, didn't you already know about this?" Dr. Thomas looked at Zhao Yu sympathetically, "Now you understand what this means?" ”

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes weakly: "I hate you." ”

"Unless you die, the fate of being chosen to be the test of the Ahmeds is inevitable." "So even if it's for your own sake, you're going to help us – if the T20 can get off the ground, we can get it to the front and you can try to find a chance for yourself to survive in the test." ”

"It sounds like this assessment is really dangerous......" Zhao Yu shook his head and decided to put this headache aside for now, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"Your body tissues have been mixed with the information chain of the Dao Mark, so we need your blood to be transfused into the T20 body, although the effect will be weakened, it should be able to ensure that you will be selected for the assessment of the Ahmeds."

"Just blood?" Zhao Yu was suspicious, "Then why don't you just ask me for blood when I'm still in San Francisco?" ”

"The sign is only active in your body, and it lasts for up to five minutes after leaving your body, soβ€”" Dr. Thomas spread his hands, "we have to have a blood transfusion on the spot." ”

Zhao Yu frowned slightly.

Although there was no foreboding, I always felt that all this was too coincidental...... Is it too hearty?

"We don't have much time, and if you're ready, we're always ready to do a blood transfusion." The doctor reminded.

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't promise at first...... I only agree to come and meet you. ”

"You mean you might as well leave?" Dr. Thomas smiled wryly, "After going through so much and risking so much to come to Nevada, you just left just to learn the truth?" Putting the safety of all mankind at risk? Don't forget, even if you leave here, you won't be able to escape the assessment of the Ahmeds! Don't you want to add a strong helper to the assessment? ”

This last sentence touched Zhao Yu, who stared into Dr. Thomas's eyes and replied, "I want to meet my companion." ”

A few minutes later, Christine stood in the room, glancing at the T20 lying in the container with surprised eyes, while listening to Zhao Yu's explanation of the current situation, and finally she patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder.

"I really admire you." Christine said sympathetically, "You've almost booked a tomb, right?" …… No, since it's an alien assessment, you may not even be able to keep the corpse. ”

"Thanks for the reminder!" Zhao Yu reached out and rubbed Christine's hair angrily, "I'm asking you to judge if there is anything wrong with this matter!" ”

Christine slapped Zhao Yu's hand away: "Why me?" ”

"Because you've been working against the authorities for many years, you have enough conspiracy theory basis."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh, I like that. Christine stuck out her tongue and licked her upper lip, as if thinking about something, "Let me think about it...... Road signs, huh? Zhao Yu, you've been hiding it from me before. ”

"It's not something to brag about." Zhao Yu hung his head and said, "If you leak it slightly, a large group of people may come to hunt me down...... You've seen the battle of the gray wolves, too. ”

"Okay, we'll figure it out later." Christine turned to Dr. Thomas, "I haven't heard of any signs, but since it's a technology I was born without, it's not surprising...... But I wonder another thing: this technology isn't the only one, right? There's no possibility that if you make the first sign, you won't be able to make the second one, right? So, my question is - why do you have to ask for Zhao Yu's blood, instead of making another T20 for you? ”

"The number of road signs used is too large, which will directly attract the attention of the Ahmeds, and Mr. Zhao Yu and T20 can share a road mark." Dr. Thomas spread his hands, "We have to keep the number of signs to a minimum, because that's pretty much cheating." ”

Christine was silent for a moment, and finally admitted: "Well, with the current intelligence support, I don't see anything wrong, provided that he is telling the truth." ”

"I understand your concerns, but we're pressed for time...... Mr. Zhao Yu, you don't have much time to decide. Dr. Thomas reminded.

"Is it authentic? Well, I guess I have a solution. Zhao Yu shoved the pistol back into Christine's hand, "Christine, if you find any problems in a while, you're welcome." ”
