Very early on, Bai Wu was asking whether he would fight against Zero in the Mechanical City.
If so, he would choose to improve slowly with the captain until his strength was enough to enter the black area, and then go to the Mechanical City.
Deep down, Bai Wu didn't want to fight with these big guys too early. Zero was a special existence, and it first appeared among the group of conjoined teachers at Baichuan Middle School.
Part of the knowledge of these teachers came from Jing Liu, so Bai Wu had to think of a certain result -
The timing of his appearance in the Mechanical City might be a coincidence, so that this cause and effect caught the attention of Jing Liu, who wanted to achieve something through it.
After the evil underground forbidden experiment was destroyed, several people stood there, and the atmosphere became... strange.
"The next stop is the South City District, which is where gang members like to fight the most. Maybe we can find the captain and Zheng Yue there."
Bai Wu decided to leave.
But before leaving, Yan Zizai stopped Bai Wu:
"Judgments based."
"what?"
"What is the basis for your reasoning so far? Why do you know all this? Why do you think there will be foreign enemies coming to the Mechanical City? How do you know there are forbidden experiments here?"
"I'm a twisted soul corrector. I can communicate with the other party at a deep level through data links. This makes sense, right? Many situations are not as complicated as you think. You think I'm reasoning, but in fact I just saw the script in advance."
A sentence that is half true and half false is the most difficult to distinguish.
Yan Zizai originally wanted to ask another question, why the white fog could cooperate with him, and why when he was close to the white fog, his eyes seemed to be able to see farther and the data was more detailed.
This kind of fluctuation only occurs when the white fog approaches.
But he finally held back.
Yan Zizai's idea is that Bai Wu has the same eyes as his own, and at the same time has the hidden ability to block some sequences.
That would explain it.
Xie Yingjie has achieved mechanical sequence recognition through 700 years of hard work, but he is unable to identify Bai Wu's ability. He can only infer through the process of elimination that Bai Wu possesses the sequence that has never appeared before.
As for bonds, few people know about bonds like Talent 666 and Talent 777, let alone the bond of the Eye of Prell.
Since Bai Wu’s eyes can “speak”, he takes it for granted that he knows a lot of things.
But Yan Zizai, and even the rulers, were unaware of the arrival of the sequence list, the advancement, bonds, and origins between sequences.
From humanity’s current exploration, we only know that evil has an entry and humans have a sequence.
But why these exist, and whether there will be any chemical reaction between entries, between sequences, or even between sequences and entries, is not clear.
Since the Eye of Preyor had never appeared openly in history before, it was even more impossible for anyone to know about the bond of the Eye of Preyor.
In particular, this pair of eyes has almost king-level control over the sequence of eyes.
How many sequences Yan Zizai can see and whether the bond effect can be triggered all depends on Bai Wu's thoughts.
Yan Zizai didn't say much after all. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Should we participate in the auction?"
"The captain and Zheng Yue will most likely take action at the auction. We can serve as support, but only as support. The Mechanical City is about to face a crisis, and the scale of the battle is probably beyond our imagination. There is only one thing we can do, and that is to cure the Rawu virus."
The four of them started to move.
On the way to the southern city area, Bai Wu began to talk about some of the information he had obtained so far about the Lawu virus, while Xie Xingzhi was explaining to Bai Xiaoyu and Yan Zizai some of the customs and habits of the mechanical race.
The four of them quickly exchanged information. Since they had met, they naturally would not separate again, and the mission was shared.
Xie Xingzhi accepted a D-level mission and went to the South City District to repair the lover of a civilian.
Yan Zizai took a look at the mercenary missions in the South City District. They were all mercenaries helping to kill people. In order to prevent Bai Wu and others from knowing that he would do some "E-level small tasks" just because Bai Xiaoyu did not kill people, Yan Zizai simply did not accept the mission.
Just pretend that it is not an S-level task and you don’t care about it.
Although Yan Zizai did not accept the task, Bai Xiaoyu still accepted it. The task was quite difficult, an A-level task, which required going to the sewer and killing the giant rat.
Bai Wu did not accept the mission. The Mechanical City had been built for such a long time. In his opinion, now that he and his group had established a firm foothold, they should try to truly experience the life of the mechanical people.
…
…
Inner city of Machinery City, South District.
The South City District is divided into three areas: Paradise Avenue, Black Feather Street, and Train City.
Paradise Avenue is a ruined area where gangs fight each other. Black Feather Street is an entertainment area where the cheapest information exchange service in the city can be enjoyed. At the same time, the largest black market in the inner city is also in Black Feather Street.
Train City Residential Area, because the houses here are arranged like train carriages.
Since it is a carriage, there are naturally ordinary carriages, economy carriages, premium carriages and luxury carriages.
Xie Xingzhi's mission is to repair the girlfriend of a certain family in an ordinary carriage.
Bai Wu used his contribution points to equip Yan Zizai and Bai Xiaoyu with communication devices. Although the two were mortals, the combination of Bai Xiaoyu and Yan Zizai was very abnormal, so there was no need to consider the body specially.
Bai Xiaoyu and Yan Zizai went to the sewer area to kill the rats.
Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi went to the residential area in the southern part of the city to provide treatment while searching for the whereabouts of Wujiu and Zheng Yue.
The four people were divided into two teams and communicated through the communicator.
Soon, Yan Zizai and Bai Xiaoyu arrived at the sewer. Perhaps the smell on their bodies was more special than that of the mechanical race, it was the authentic smell of flesh and blood, so soon, Yan Zizai and Bai Xiaoyu saw the true form of the rat.
These were indeed rats, but they were as big as Colossi. What surprised Yan Zizai was that these rats were evil and degenerate protozoa.
In other words, the sewer area of the Mechanical City was built very wide, otherwise the rat would not be able to fit in.
Yan Zizai transmitted the images in real time through the communication props. Bai Wu found that the construction of the sewer was not simple. It seemed that the sewer in the southern city area had been specially expanded.
Apparently, there were more than just rats in the underground of the mechanical city. The giant creatures seen by the rat extermination team included rats and cockroaches.
It is the kind of southern cockroach that lived in Bai Wu’s previous life and is said to be able to be used as a mount.
They were bloodthirsty by nature, and when they smelled the scent of humans, thirty-four of them instantly surrounded them from various huge pipes.
"No wonder this mission is A-rank."
Yan Zizai was confident that he could face such a large group of native underground creatures, but he had to say that these creatures were disgusting.
…
…
Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi also arrived at their destination.
The buildings arranged like a train are quite distinctive. Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi knocked on the door, but to Bai Wu's surprise, the person who opened the door was not the middle-aged mechanical man he had imagined.
It was a young mechanical boy who looked very punk:
"Fuck, you guys are so slow! Fuck you two idiots! Stop wasting time and get out here and fix my stupid girlfriend! She laughs all day long and I'm laughing at her!"
The punk boy was wrapped in an extremely cheap mecha shell, breathing foul language, and swearing at Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi.
Can he find a girlfriend? It seems that for the mechanical race, having hands is all that is needed to find a girlfriend
Soon Bai Wu felt relieved.
Because the so-called girlfriend is just a pocket-sized robot—the design of the robot is very... perverted.
They have a complete mechanical core, but are placed in a kind of "cup" with a data interface printed on it.
This kind of cup has existed since ancient times, but the mechanical ones look more perverted. The cup contains a mechanical core and many data interfaces.
In Bai Wu's previous life, these things were just props. They were made of silicone and used to simulate certain parts of the human body to relieve people's desires. In short, they were fun toys.
There is nothing wrong with this, although many young children will be cautious when buying such things because once they are discovered by their parents, they will be socially doomed.
But this kind of thing from the Mechanical Clan... is extremely evil.
Since the core of the mechanical race can be separated from the body, therefore...some people put the core on this kind of private props in order to give the "props" souls, so that the mechanical race can feel more real when venting.
Xie Xingzhi seemed to have guessed it as well. He frowned and felt uncomfortable.
Bai Wu looked at the words "Love and Peace" engraved on the cup and knew what was going on.
This is the "home love robot" mentioned by the eyes.
Above this "Love and Peace" company is the large credit institution Motor Company. They lend money at high interest rates, allowing the mechanical people in the outer city to qualify to enter the inner city and even afford many high-end items. But when these mechanical people are unable to repay, retribution comes.
Their mechanical cores will be forcibly plundered and used for other purposes, such as meeting certain needs of the mechanical creatures.
Only after a certain number of years have passed and the debt and interest owed to the motor company has been earned back can it return to its normal body.
There are many mechanical people who cannot pay their debts, so although the Motor Company is not as influential as the weapons giants, it also has considerable influence in the inner city.
The mechanical soul in front of Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi, which was put into the cup, seemed to be too disgusted by the experiences of the past few days.
The extreme mood swings led to infection with the Rawu virus, and he began to laugh constantly.
The punk boy is very perverted. Rather than seeing the "home love robot" smiling when serving, he prefers to see it panic and cry out of fear.
Xie Xingzhi said:
"It seems that this is my job on the surface, but it is actually your job."
Bai Wu was thinking about whether to shut down the "Love and Peace" company. After all, this "home-loving robot" was actually some kind of evil product.
Especially the voices of the mechanical race, which are actually simulated by the body.
Judging from the remarks in Bai Wu's eyes, the soul of the mechanical race in the cup is actually a male.
It's just that when the voice-over device of the "Love and Peace" company converts its consciousness into sound, it simulates a female.
The buyer doesn’t care about all that. It doesn’t matter what kind of soul he buys, as long as it can satisfy his perverted animal desires.
The East City District is glamorous, but there are many tragedies like Jia Kaier's. These rich people talk about benevolence, but they only care about business in their hearts.
As for the Taipei City District, it has now become a gathering place for charlatans. Although the big charlatan has been killed, the Taipei City District will be better after a while, but there is no guarantee that someone will see what the president of the Tower God Society is doing. The Mechanicus is gone, but maybe a Mechanicus Cult will appear in the future
What about Nanshi District
No one knows what's going on underground in the southern part of the city, which has attracted a lot of evil and depraved people.
But is it all good on the ground? The love and peace on the ground are just treating the mechanical people like animals.
Love and peace, these four words seem particularly ironic.
"This inner city is really hard to describe."
Bai Wu finally put his finger into the cup full of engine oil and connected with the poor mechanical core.
Its inner world is not difficult to analyze, but Bai Wu did not cure this soul. He just wandered around in the inner world of this soul for a few times.
This is a train city. All the houses are like carriages, and the world inside is a running train.
Each section of the train car forms an ecological community of different levels. The further you go in the front of the train car, the higher the level of civilization.
Quite similar to a pyramid, the core owner's soul wants to climb to higher levels but will be constantly blocked.
It learns knowledge, works hard, and does whatever is lacking.
But no matter how hard we try, the people in the front carriage remain the same, and there are almost no unfamiliar faces.
The people behind it, because they are just like it, keep learning, working hard, and in order to survive and to change the status quo, they start to compete constantly and then lower their own prices.
Originally their treatment was quite good, but since it doesn't do it and there are a lot of people scrambling to do it, their treatment has become lower and lower.
Gradually, their requirements became lower and lower.
Because only in this way can they go to the front carriage and see the scenery they have never seen before.
But you can only look at it. The expensive living environment seems to indicate one thing: if you are not here when you are born, then you will never be here in your life.
The inner world of this soul has been distorted, and the soul is on the verge of mutation.
After Bai Wu discovered this, he stopped treating him and asked Xie Xingzhi to give up the task.
"Let's go, Lao Xie. I have other things to do now. Let's go to Paradise Avenue. Maybe we can find information about the captain and Zheng Yue there."
Seeing that Bai Wu had not cured his "girlfriend", the punk boy cursed, but was warned by Bai Wu:
"Your girlfriend is not crazy, nor is she bad. She is just infected with the Rawu virus. By the way, the auction will start in three days, and once the auction is over, the fury will come. During the fury season, the anti-virus guards will kill you because the Rawu virus is contagious. You have exchanged information with it, so you are also infected."
The punk boy was immediately frightened.
In order to prevent the other party from destroying the core, Bai Wu took out the core.
This kind gesture made things much easier for him later on.
The two prepared to go and support Yan Zizai and Bai Xiaoyu.
The two mercenaries were dealing with the evil underground, and Bai Wu's intuition told him that this huge sewer had some use.
On the way, Xie Xingzhi said:
"You seem to have some different emotions about this place?"
"I feel happy when I see the prosperity of the Mechanical City. Apart from that, I don't have any other emotions. I am a very optimistic person. I don't feel sad, scared or angry."
"Really? I actually think you're already angry, but your expression is different. There's no outward display of emotion, and you jump directly to the behavioral stage."
After all, Xie Xingzhi is the guardian of the Xie family, and he is quite good at analyzing people.
There are some things that Bai Wu himself is not aware of. He is indeed not infected by negative emotions, but he often makes decisions that are in line with people with negative emotions. Of course, this decision will be more rational and the plan will be more complete.
"The Mechanical City is too distorted. This place is indeed a black zone. I'm just curious. Is this what Zero wants to see? I am increasingly unable to understand it. What kind of existence is it? What is its attitude towards humans and souls? What kind of existence is this Mechanical City to it?"
Bai Wu looked at Xie Xingzhi. He originally thought that Zero was a big boss worth making friends with.
However, this kind of elder, just like Jing Si and Jing Liu, has many problems.
But now it seems that he is a little confused, because there are too many distortions in this city, and Zero seems to be letting them go.
Xie Xingzhi shook his head and said:
"I have seen an incarnation of Zero in the inner city. I can't tell anything about it. I only know its appearance. It is a silver-haired boy who looks very similar to the captain of the anti-virus guard team. The captain is also a silver-haired boy, but looks taller and more mature."
"As for Zero's true form, only the boss has seen it, but the boss refuses to mention it. Zero is the boss's psychological shadow... The boss and Zero have reached some deal, and we must get the chip the boss needs from Zero."
This was a commission from the Xie family for this exploration outside the tower. Xie Xingzhi had no way of explaining what kind of person Zero was.
But although Bai Wu's original intention has not changed, he has some other ideas.
…
…
Outer city.
The ground was littered with mechanical wreckage, piled up in a mess and spread out around a group of people.
There are four people in the center.
The octopus-like monster clapped his hands:
"Hohohoho, Blacksmith, we have reached our destination, but it's not easy to avoid being detected."
The blacksmith ignored the octopus and said to Jingwu:
"It has been dismantled, sir. We can now head to the inner city. It won't be able to detect us."
"You underestimate Zero. He is on the same level as me. Put away your tricks and follow Zero's rules."
After Jingwu finished speaking, he did not set foot in the inner city. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the huge core city in the sky:
"But we are lucky. The Rawu virus is really bothering it. Haha, this core is much larger than the last time I saw it. Its control over the inner city must be getting weaker and weaker."
