(2-in-1 Chapter)

"I don't like that guy." Knock knocked off a piece of bubble gum and stuffed it into his mouth, grunting sideways.

"Don't like anyone?" Su Mo followed Dongdong's gaze and looked over.

Dorn was working on a computer in the distance.

Su Mo lowered his voice and asked, "You said Dorne?" ”

Knock: "Hmm. ”

Su Mo was puzzled: "What, where did he offend you?" ”

Dongdong shook his head: "No." ”

Su Mo was even more puzzled: "Then why do you hate him?" He's not always been very polite and easy to talk to. ”

Dong Dong said silently: "Boss, I have been crawling and rolling in the border for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods. Do you know what kind of people I hate the most? ”

"I don't hate those thugs who are full of swear words and shouting at every turn to kill the whole family, they don't seem to be easy to mess with, but in fact, their inner thoughts are written on their faces, and they can be seen through at a glance."

"What I hate the most is the kind person who is always kind and has a smile on his face."

"These people are wearing a mask on their faces, and what politeness, friendliness, and all the *civilized frontiers* are fake. You have no idea what kind of face is hidden behind that smile, and what will secretly be calculated against you. ”

Su Mo smiled and touched her head: "Oh, old-fashioned, a 14-year-old person talks like a 41-year-old." ”

Dongdong complained: "Don't make trouble, I'll tell you seriously." ”

Su Mo shrugged: "But don't you think your speculation is too subjective?" At least for now, there's no evidence that Dorne is the kind of person you say he is. ”

Dong Dong said helplessly: "I know that if there was evidence, I would have knocked him on the head with a stick earlier, so that I wouldn't secretly say bad things here." ”

"But don't you think it's strange? This guy was overly enthusiastic about us, and when he came up, he said that he wanted to be a god, taking care of us everywhere, not strict at all, and smiling at everyone. ”

"Please, he's the special commissioner of the Iron and Blood Coalition, the overseer of the whole operation, and not our babysitter!"

"Shouldn't this kind of person be high, treat us like cattle and horses, and scold and scold us at every turn?"

"Anyway, I used to help border groups do things, and if I made a slight mistake, I threatened to deduct money from the joint, and I just like to do it, don't do it, if you don't do it, someone will do it!"

The phenomenon that Dong Dong said, Su Mo had already discovered it.

Admittedly, Dorne's style of doing things is unique.

Normally, mercenaries are not companions in the eyes of giant enterprises, but "consumables".

Giving you money is what makes you work hard.

How much money is spent on you, you have to provide corresponding, and even more value.

Dorn has been very polite, humble and polite since he first met everyone, and Wang Wei helped call the logistics team when he was injured, which is really uncommon.

Of course, it is not for nothing that Party A is friendly to mercenaries.

Not to mention that Dorne has a good attitude and thinks that he has a problem.

Otherwise, it's too rogue logic.

So far, at least, Dorn has not done anything to jeopardize the team's performance.

Rather than subjective speculation, Su Mo prefers to judge with facts.

Su Mo touched Dongdong's head: "Let's work first." If he makes you uncomfortable, stay away from him, and I'll negotiate something. ”

"It's okay, I'll just complain casually and ignore me. You go get busy. "Knock Knock picked up the electronic hacker and continued to work.

She walked over to the largest metal roll door deep in the hangar, found the electronic lock, and placed the electronic hacker on it.

The electronic hacker ran for five minutes, and it was so hot that the electronic lock still didn't respond.

Dong Dong shouted: "Uncle, can you do this thing?" ”

Dorn beckoned: "Knock, don't worry, wait a minute, depending on the complexity of the electronic lock, it is normal for the decipherment speed to be fast and slow." ”

Dong Dong could only continue to wait, and muttered in a low voice: "If you dare to be so intimate, you will knock a fist-sized bag on your head!" ”

Knock Dong waited for half an hour, and everyone had to wait for the hair to be fried, and several times I wished to knock the electronic lock with a baseball bat.

"Drip, drip, drip."

Finally, a regular prompt sounded, indicating that the electronic lock decipherment was completed.

Knock Dong walked over to the electronic lock and complained, "You better lock up some big baby." ”

She pressed the open button, and the metal roll door opened.

The long-sealed turbidity came to his face, and Dong Dong waved his hand in front of his nose and turned on the light to look.

Soon, she froze in place, and her expression became pleasantly surprised: "Wow! Come and see, it's cool! ”

I saw a huge humanoid mecha in this warehouse, nearly 6 meters high, full of precision machinery and metal components, and I don't know how many killing weapons were hidden under the heavy armor shell, full of violent aesthetics brought by technology.

Even though the years have passed and the dust has fallen all over the fuselage, it still stands like a titan, and its spirit is extraordinary.

"Huh~" Everyone came whistling and admired this mecha with Dongdong.

Dorn looked up at the mecha and exclaimed, "Looking at the structure, it should be a neuro-controlled mecha, the craftsmanship of the old era, full of the beauty of science and technology." ”

Dongdong was very proud, and his disgust with Dorne was diluted a lot, and he said in a show-off tone: "Uncle, I found this good thing." How about paying me more when the time comes? ”

Dorn smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, your rewards are predetermined, and have nothing to do with what you explore." And although this mecha is beautiful, it is not a unique find. ”

Dong Dong was stunned: "Huh? And that's not counting? ”

Dorn shrugged: "Of course not, the mecha technology of the old era was mastered by the Iron and Blood Consortium very early. The fully automatic combat robots on the market are now based on mecha technology. ”

"As for this kind of mecha that requires pilot control, it has been completely eliminated decades ago and replaced by more advanced prosthetic technology."

Dong Dong asked puzzledly: "A small prosthetic body, can it replace this kind of big guy?" If you really fight, no matter how you look at it, the mecha is more powerful, right? ”

Dorne patiently explained: "In terms of absolute strength, the mecha is indeed strong, but it also has huge drawbacks. ”

"If you want the mecha to complete the refined work, ordinary mechanical operation methods can't do it, and the human central nervous system must be connected to the operating system, so that the driver and the mecha can be neurologically synchronized."

"It's working, but there's a huge problem – it's too much of a burden to synchronize."

"In the neural mode of control, the driver is not 'on' the mech, they are integrated with the mech, and you can understand it as an external oversized prosthesis."

"There may not be one person out of tens of millions who can withstand this type of driving."

"Throughout the history of the Iron and Blood Consortium, there are only more than 30 qualified pilots in total, and due to the burden of long-term synchronization mechas, most of them have not lived longer than 30 years old."

"Later, iron-blooded engineers began to use fully automatic technology to replace manual operation, coupled with the advent of prosthetic technology, the piloting mecha was eliminated by history without any suspense."

After listening to Dorne's words, Sun Min and the others let out a sigh.

People who choose the direction of prosthetic strengthening, in addition to the pursuit of safety, are often also out of favor for machinery.

Who hasn't YY ever driven a big robot to fight monsters when he was a child?

Anyway, a few of them have been YY.

Mecha piloting technology was once born, but it was eliminated because of real problems, which is regrettable.

Dongdong looked up at the mecha and said excitedly, "I'll go up and take a look, maybe I can still move." ”

Dorn bluntly refused: "No, no, no, absolutely not. ”

Dong Dong complained: "Don't be so stingy, you said it, the pilot-type mecha is a thing that has been eliminated, so presumably you can't look down on this thing, let me drive it and there will be no loss." ”

Dorne still shook his head: "Sorry, this doesn't meet the rules, you can't touch anything here whether it's valuable or not." ”

"And for your personal safety, you shouldn't try to fly a mecha, it's too taxing on your body, and you definitely can't bear it."

Su Mo thought to herself: No, not only can she eat, but she even drove a mecha bigger than the "Dangerous Wanderer" in the game, and blew up your iron-blooded base

Rejected by Dorne, Knock can only express his dissatisfaction with a loud voice, and continue to work sullenly.

Time passes slowly.

Suddenly, everyone felt the ceiling tremble slightly, as if there were many creatures running on it.

Sun Min raised his head: "Is there a herd of beasts passing by?" ”

Knock knock: "Do you want to contact the wounded, be careful that he is eaten." ”

Sun Min said helplessly: "I tried, this is deep underground, and the signal can't be transmitted." ”

Dorne reassured: "Don't worry, he has a signal transmitter on him, the logistics team should have picked him up, and he will be fine." ”

The tremor of the ceiling quickly disappeared, and it was supposed that the running beasts had gone away.

Everyone continues to work.

Dorn sat down in front of the terminal computer, looked at the time, and frowned a little: "We have been delayed for too long, and the progress is already behind expectations."

Sun Min was worried that there would be a problem with the payment settlement, so he hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Dorn thought for a moment, turned his head and said, "Captain Su, the work on this floor is almost over, why don't you take Dongdong to the next layer to do the pre-decipherment work first?" We'll come to you after we're done, and it's too late not to speed things up. ”

Su Mo was still thinking about how to find an excuse to get rid of everyone just now, so that he could go down there and get weapons.

Unexpectedly, Dorne took the initiative to create an opportunity for him.

This kind of God-given opportunity, Su Mo couldn't refuse: "Okay, knock knock, let's go down." ”

Dong Dong sat in front of a computer, and beat his back weakly: "Boss, you go first, my prosthetic body was overheated before, and my back hurts, and I want to sit for a while." ”

Su Mo knew the entire structure of TL730 well, and there was nothing below that needed Dongdong's help, so he said, "Okay, you rest, I'll go down and have a look first." ”

He ran to the passage to the lower level.

Dongdong sat on the chair to rest, glancing at the mecha in the distance from time to time, muttering, "Hmm, your hands are so itchy. I'd love to take a look."

At this moment, the computer in front of her suddenly lit up.

Sun Min next to him looked over: "Hey, don't move." ”

Dong Dong said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't move, it lit up on its own!" ”

Sun Min shouted at Dorn: "Dorn, there is a computer here that lights up by itself, can you come and take a look?" ”

Dorne didn't look back: "Oh, let's leave it alone, don't touch it, I'll come and see it later." ”

In the distance, Su Mo ran into the entrance of the passage and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Dong Dong rested and suddenly found that the computer screen was not only lit up, but the mouse was still moving on its own.

The mouse clicks on a button to operate the software, and a green light next to the screen turns red.

"Long."

In the passage to the lower level, a heavy metal door fell, locking Su Mo inside.

Sun Min was startled, and scolded Dong Dong loudly: "Didn't I tell you not to move!" ”

Dong Dong was so angry that he exploded: "I didn't move!" Don't wronged me! ”

Sun Min roared angrily: "Why is that door closed?" ”

Dong Dong roared back even louder: "How do I know about the border of civilization?!" ”

She rushed to the metal gate and slapped it hard: "Boss, are you okay?!" ”

Su Mo's voice came faintly through the door: "What's the situation?" ”

Dongdong said anxiously: "I don't know, the door suddenly closed!" ”

Sun Min frowned when he saw this, calmed down and thought carefully.

Although Dongdong is short-tempered, she has never done anything to pit her teammates, and it really doesn't look like she moved.

He and the Thundering Mercenary are also very well-behaved, and they never mess with things.

The only person who can close the door is that

Sun Min stared blankly at the person sitting in front of the terminal computer.

"Dorne?"

Dorne turned his head to look at the group, and the kind smile on his face was gone, replaced by an eerie one that had never been seen before.

He quickly put on the prepared gas mask and put his hand in his arms.

"I'm the border of civilization*!!" Knock scolded and rushed towards Dorne.

Dorn threw a smoke bomb in place.

"Bang-"

The smoke from the explosion quickly filled the enclosed space, choking everyone to cough.

"Ahem, ahem!" Dong Dong brandished a baseball bat to try to disperse the smoke, and jumped to his feet in a hurry, "I knew it. I knew it! Ahhh It's long overdue to knock this bad thing to death with a stick! ”

"Ahem. Assemble" Sun Min shouted with a handful of snot and tears, "Everyone assemble with me!" Don't be left alone! ”

The thundering mercenaries and Dongdong heard the sound and leaned closer, tightly rallying around Sun Min.

Sun Min coughed and scolded angrily: "Dorne! What are you doing?! ”

In the smoke, Dorne's gloomy voice echoed: "Hehehe, look at any of you who dare to look down on me." ”

Sun Min scolded: "You are so inexplicable, what kind of mess?!" ”

Dorne: "When I said that I was an absolute rejector of the prosthesis, I heard your sighs clearly, and I still wanted to quibble?" ”

Sun Min's eyes darkened with anger: "We feel sorry for you, not look down on you." And you're not going to frame us for this, are you?! ”

Dorne sneered, "It's a trivial matter in your eyes, isn't it?" It's like what my scum colleagues think - you shit, what's wrong with laughing at you a few times? ”

"A person who is absolutely rejected by the prosthesis, has no money, no strength, no status, and can't be promoted until he dies, he will be a grassroots level all his life, this kind of person is used to make fun of you, you think so too, right?!"

Sun Min said patiently, "Donne, you listen to my explanation."

Dong Dong's angry voice interrupted him: "Explain Mao, this stupid dog has bared his teeth at us, what else is there to explain?" Dorne, listen up, you're a big deal! ”

"Garbage, waste, scum, bad seeds, no dad and no mom! You'd better not get caught by me, or I'll screw your head off for a baseball!! ”

Dorne's sinister laughter came: "You don't have this chance, do you still expect iron-blooded reinforcements to come and save people?" ”

"Hehehe, it's a pity that you can't wait for reinforcements. Because the 34 iron-blooded exploration teams that set off today were all under attack, the entire garrison of the Winter Mountain Range could not be rescued. ”

"You guys, die here like dogs!"
