Yellow Ape and Vegapunk are old friends who have known each other for a long time.

But this does not affect the yellow ape's evaluation of Vegapunk -

A greedy monster.

Is that really the case?

Perhaps.

After all, Vegapunk, who has the world's first brain, even though it has received the support of the world government, still does not hesitate to touch the taboo of the world government for the development of science and technology.

Dying for the sake of knowledge – is it really worth it?

Vegapunk thinks: value.

Not only him, but also the archaeologists of O'Hara, including Dr. Shamrock and Nicole Robin, as well as many scholars and adventurers.

Of course, now I have to add him -

"Demon: Evan Lindsay......"

The yellow ape's sunglasses reflected the light, making it impossible to see his eyes, but his tone was as frivolous as ever.

"Instigating the Begapunk to rebel and coerce them into secession from the World Government - such a grave crime is more terrible than killing the Draconians!"

"Can you afford it?"

“……”

Lindsay pressed his forehead against the yellow ape's fingers and asked with a wicked smile, "Does it make you feel scared that your old friend has become a greedy monster?" ”

"Who knows......"

The yellow ape sighed softly and said faintly: "In the words of the Five Old Stars, those stupid scholars are simply asking for trouble. ”

"It's obviously forbidden things, but they have to investigate deeply, and finally they touch the taboo, and they perish because of it."

"What a terrible thought......

“……”

Listening to the yellow ape's words, Lindsay's eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of his mouth grinned wider.

"Is it really good to give up thinking, obey the rule of the Celestial Dragons, and fully follow the rules set by the World Government?"

Yellow Ape: "......"

The Admiral was silent, but the Demon's words continued.

"As long as you don't make mistakes, there will be no punishment, and you can spend every day with peace of mind!"

"—Should our 'life' move forward with such an idea?"

"Do you think so? Yellow Ape! ”

Yellow Ape: "......"

Yellow Ape: "Who knows? ”

The light converged on the yellow ape's fingertips, obscuring his eyes behind his sunglasses.

Didi, Didi, Di, Huh!

The laser shot out and hit Lindsay's head, but it was blocked by the dark red skin, leaving only a few traces of burning.

Dikui form!

Lindsay stared at the yellow ape's sunglasses, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "Hey, is that what you think?" Yellow Ape ......"

“……”

The yellow ape's expression was complicated, and he still didn't intend to respond.

The movements of the two froze in place, looking at each other, but neither had any intention of stopping.

In the end, it was Vegapunk who came forward again and provided a step for the two to step down.

"Don't go too far, you two ......"

Vegapunk stiffened his head and said helplessly:

"If we fight here, not to mention a few of us, most of us won't even be spared the entire Future Research Institute, right?"

This was a big truth, enough to convince the two to cease fighting.

Lindsey twisted her neck and recovered from her form.

The yellow ape also casually raised his hands, indicating that he was willing to do the same.

They are well aware that, at this stage, there is no need for either of them to go to war head-on.

"Hoo ......"

Seeing this, Vegapunk finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the dispute here has just ended, and there is a strange noise not far away.

Rumble......

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!!

The roar came from the direction from which the crowd had come, from far and near.

As if something heavy slammed into the metal gate, it broke through layer by layer, gradually approaching the location of everyone.

"The steel gates have been breached!"

Vegapunk took out the monitor and stared at the red dots on it, watching them go out one by one.

"The speed of the breakthrough is fast!"

Needless to say, everyone knew the identity of the pursuers.

The only one who has the ability to break through the steel gate at high speed is the ancient replica robot "A-1"!

The body and appearance of the yellow ape are fused with the rustling fruit ability of Klockdahl at the same time.

Destroy all the way!

"It's not good......"

Vegapunk frowned, and was about to beckon everyone to continue retreating, but suddenly stopped when he heard the sound of breaking the door.

“……”

It was clear to everyone present that it was not A-1 that had stopped breaking the door, but that it had come to the final steel gate.

At this moment, there is only one door away from everyone!

Everyone present was ready for battle and had corresponding countermeasures.

Even if he could destroy A-1 with all his might, he wouldn't be able to do so at this stage.

There is more than one replicating robot in the Future Research Institute, and the systems are interconnected, so they can evolve by "devouring the body".

Killing an A-1 will only bring out more difficult ancient robots, and it will be more difficult to get close to the ancient machine itself.

Of course, this problem is also easy to solve.

Instead of choosing "destroy", you can send it flying and delay the time.

Although the system of the ancient machine will record the data of the people, so that the A-1 can be further updated and evolved, it is still possible to delay the time.

"Are you ready?"

Lindsay grinned, turned her big arms, and slowly stepped forward.

At the same time, the steel gate in front of him was struck hard, and a grit axe slashed through a gap.

Boom la la la......

In the crevices, behind the surging gravel, the twisted mechanical face of A-1 was revealed.

Its voice was hoarse, mixed with a bit of distortion.

"Found you......"

But when he raised his eyes, he saw not the people who were about to fight, but another face that was very close.

Dikui form!

Lindsey also approached the crack in the steel gate, face to face with A-1, and grinned with his fangs:

"I found you too~~~"

Rumble!

A heavy punch struck the inside of the steel gate, smashing it into a dent.

This side is "concave", and that side is naturally "convex".

A-1 was unable to dodge and was overwhelmed by the bump in the steel gate, flying upside down and rolling several times.

However, the blow did not cause any damage, and A-1 quickly got up and threw the same punch at the steel gate.

Rumble!

The steel gate finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was completely blown away by two strange forces, and A-1 also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Compared to the previous appearance of the "Yellow Ape", the A-1 at this moment is obviously more abnormal.

The entire body of the machine was elongated, and various wires were faintly visible in the joints, and even the gears were exposed.

On the face of the "yellow ape", the corners of the mouth were even more cracked, the chin was drooping down as if dislocated, and a large number of electric sparks burst out.

Yellow Ape: "......"

Yellow Ape: "It's terrifying......"

This is a sincere sigh.

A-1 walked towards Lindsay with heavy steps.

It may have been on the verge of destruction, but it is still faithfully carrying out its underlying command, which is to drag everyone to their death!

One step away from Lindsay, A-1 suddenly burst into flames and punched Lindsay in the abdomen.

The power and angle of this punch are exactly the same as when Lindsay hit the steel gate!

Rumble!

A-1 grinned and said hoarsely, "I will." ”

Lindsey laughed as well, and punched A-1 in the abdomen.

Rumble!

"Okay, I'll do too!"

The two of them punched each other and punched each other's bodies, beating each other without reservation!

Until the final punch, Lindsey pulled out the arrow of force, attached it to his fist, and swung it hard at A-1's face.

Rumble!

A-1 finally couldn't take it anymore, and the entire mechanical body flew upside down, and it was about to fall farther away.

But at that moment, A-1 suddenly stretched out his arm and slammed into the wall of the passage next to him, then tore open a large piece of wire.

A-1's robotic arm, intertwined with the wires inside the tunnel wall, is connected by electricity.

Woo-la-la-la!

In an instant, sparks erupted throughout the channel, and at the same time, a piercing alarm sounded.

Drip! Drip! Drip......

Seeing this scene, Vegapunk hurriedly took out the monitor, stared at the picture above, and then exclaimed:

"Something is wrong, it has taken over control of the Vault Passage!"
